"You know that I don't have that much spare time with my identity …" Nethereran tried to explain.
"It's useless. The emissary won't listen to your excuses. He only wants results," the sharp voice continued.
"If the emissary wants to kill us, it's as easy as killing an ant. Their patience is limited, so we have to do our best as quickly as possible! "
After a pause, the voice continued.
"Also, suppress the matter of the small planet you fought with before. It's best if everything is peaceful."
Nethereran was about to raise his head and ask, but he was stopped by the other party.
"Don't ask, just do as I say."
Nethereran gritted his teeth and nodded slowly.
"I … understand." Previously, in order to get rid of the strange blood on his body, he had to undergo a full-body genetic treatment.
And now, the higher-ups wanted him to give up on revenge?!
Nethereran could not suppress the anger in his heart. But he could only endure it. No one knew better than him how terrifying the power of the higher-ups was.
"Alright. You can leave now, "the voice ordered.
Nethereran was silent for a while. He slowly retreated and flew away with an unwilling look on his face.
…
…
Demonic Realm.
League of Stars Headquarters.
Thousands of silver planets revolved around a giant white-gold fireball. Under the intense energy reaction, it released a terrifying high-energy radiation.
On the surface of the fireball, there was a translucent light red palace that was slowly floating on the endless flaming planets.
Inside the palace, three light pillars were facing each other in a triangle. Within each light pillar, there was a vague outline of a human face.
This was the core of the League of Stars, and it was also the place where countless Star Spirit made their pilgrimage.
It was the place where the Silver Heart converged, the origin of the universe's life and death.
"I can't suppress it any longer!" Within one of the light pillars, an old silhouette said with a trembling voice.
If anyone could see his entire body through the light pillar, they would see that at least half of this person's body was dyed black.
And the black part of his body was faintly translucent.
"Hold on, Galen! We have no way out! If you fall now … "
"We have to ask for help!"
Different voices came from the other two pillars of light. A man and a woman had different opinions, but they both showed that the situation was extremely urgent.
"Only the Palaeozoic can call for help, but the Palaeozoic are not much better off than us! The nothingness corroded them even earlier than us! "the female voice said with a hint of impatience.
"If I really can't hold on any longer, I'll self-destruct. Don't defend the defense line of the League of Stars. The key is to preserve the core strength." The old man said in a deep voice, "Now that the Void Root has surfaced, whether it's from the contradiction of the essence of the power, or from the fact that we've suppressed them for so many years. They definitely won't let go of this opportunity. "
"Don't count on luck."
"They're here!"
All of a sudden, a vast expanse of dense black mist erupted from the old man's body. The dense black mist was like ink, quickly spreading throughout his entire body.
No one knew that the real reason why the League of Stars and the Palaeozoic stopped fighting wasn't because of the so-called victory or defeat, but because they were ambushed by a third party.
Regardless of whether it was the League of Stars or the Palaeozoic, they had lost a large number of their main forces without a sound.
"Galen!!" The other two pillars of light were helpless. They could only watch as the third pillar of light rapidly turned black and dimmed.
"I … can't hold on any longer … Everyone, don't forget … our oath!" The old man's entire body was almost completely dyed black.
Bang!!
Suddenly, he exploded on the spot. The black mist that flew out faded into the air in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, within one-third of the territories of the League of Stars.
The ancient and intimidating aura that had enveloped these territories and universes slowly dissipated at this moment.
Countless galaxies slowly dimmed and withered. Hundreds of millions of powerful stars lost their light at this moment and rapidly cooled down.
…
…
Beep beep.
Lu Sheng turned on the projection television hanging on the wall. He held the remote control and quickly pressed the news channel.
The television flickered and quickly jumped to the image of the noon news.
A beautiful anchor with a solemn expression was broadcasting the various major events that had happened in the past few days.
Lu Sheng rubbed his wet hair and threw the towel to the side. He took out a bucket of chilled nutrient solution from the fridge and drank a mouthful of it.
It had been more than three months since the Netherian incident.
In these three months, after the joint forces of the three provinces arrived at Anos Province, they didn't investigate in detail. They just casually caught some scapegoats and closed the case in a hurry. Then, they left.
Nine Life Hall's previous series of preparations were all for naught, a waste of effort.
Zheng Huan also led the team back and laid low.
In this incident, the entire Jiumingtang had become an outstanding private enterprise representative for the country and the people.
No one else could figure out the details of this matter. Only Lu Sheng knew that this was the condition that the mysterious old man had agreed to.
The old man from the terrorist organization Blue Starlight seemed to be more capable than he had imagined.
In other words, this mysterious organization called Blue Starlight was much more powerful than Lu Sheng had imagined.
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Sheng watched the television as he examined the extent of his body's transformation.
After three months, the transformation of the Fifth Anima was nearing its end.
His body's strength had once again increased to an immeasurable level. His strength and speed were no longer easy to measure. There was no longer any reference for Lu Sheng to use his full strength.
To prevent unintentionally causing destructive damage to the surroundings, Lu Sheng once again sealed himself for the second time.
All of his attributes were sealed to about one percent of their original value. Only then could he quickly return to his normal life.
'My strength has increased, but the most important thing right now is that I don't have enough Mental Energy.' Lu Sheng looked at Deep Blue's interface. There were only millions of Mental Energy units left.
'The Fifth Anima consumes hundreds of millions of units. Then, the Sixth Anima might need at least a billion, or even a few billion units of Mental Energy. But right now, the mines in Anos Province might not be enough to support me to the next step. '
This was what troubled Lu Sheng.
Large amounts of Scale Stones could provide large amounts of Mental Energy. But the speed of mining was far from his consumption rate.
He needed to open up new channels to accumulate Mental Energy.
After drinking an entire bucket of nutrient solution, Lu Sheng got up to get another bucket.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He flicked a gust of wind and accurately pressed the answer button.
"Master, the person with the black triangle you mentioned before has arrived," Wei Handong said in a low voice on the other side of the phone.
"Arrived?" Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly. "How many people?"
"Not too many, not too few. Just a hundred."
"Let them wait near the main hall. I'll be there soon," Lu Sheng instructed.
"Alright!"
The call was disconnected.
Lu Sheng quickly changed his clothes, picked up his phone, and left the house.
It was less than a fifteen-minute drive from where he lived to the main hall.
When Lu Sheng drove to the main entrance, a disciple from the main hall who had been waiting for a long time quickly opened the door for him.
As soon as Lu Sheng got out of the car, he saw the mysterious old man he met last time.
A large group of people stood neatly behind the old man. There were men, women, young, and old. They seemed to be a motley crew that had just been recruited. There were people of all kinds.
The group stood on the empty ground to the left of the main hall, led by the old man.
"Long time no see, dear Grandmaster Wang Mu." The old man winked, and smiled at Lu Sheng.
"Let's talk inside," Lu Sheng said in a low voice. He had handled the matter well the last time. In return for a plum, his attitude towards the other party improved quite a bit.
"No need. I'll leave these hundred people to you. No matter how you train them, we'll allow a 20% mortality rate, and the elimination rate can't be higher than 50%. Is that alright? "the old man asked quickly and precisely.
"Sure." Lu Sheng nodded.
"If the results of this training are good, we might be able to work together for a long time." The old man smiled.
"I hope so." Lu Sheng hoped that the old man could buy him more time. Jiumingtang had great potential, but it had only been a short time to develop and rise.
"Also, our internal officers admire you very much. We have a big event this time, and we'd like to invite you to attend the ceremony, "the old man said kindly.
"Attend the ceremony?"
"Yes, it'll be around midnight the day after tomorrow. If you agree, we'll send someone to pick you up. You'll only need a day to return, "the old man said in a low voice.
Lu Sheng squinted and looked at the old man carefully.
Now, he could more or less sense the person in front of him.
The old man was surrounded by terrifyingly powerful telekinesis all the time. The telekinesis could help him distort light and construct a lifelike image of an old man.
That was right.
This old man was not his real body at all. It was just an image formed by distorted light woven by telekinesis.
"Alright, I agree." Lu Sheng nodded.
He wanted to see how powerful this Blue Starlight was.
"Actually … our Blue Starlight doesn't only have a branch in this world," the old man suddenly said.
Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
"Oh? Are you saying that you have strongholds in many other worlds? "
"Not strongholds … You still can't understand our power," the old man explained with a smile. "But maybe in the future, you'll hear of our name in other worlds."
"What name?" Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
"The Root of Nothingness." The old man smiled and said a name that Lu Sheng was extremely familiar with.
"The Ethereal Hour is coming. We need more sacrifices, more rituals … to welcome the tide of eternity. I believe that this event will leave a deep impression on you. "
Lu Sheng wanted to ask more questions, but the old man's body gradually faded and disappeared in front of him. Only the hundred people were left standing in a mess.
"Hey! Which crew are you from? Why did you bring us to this godforsaken place!? "
As soon as the old man disappeared, a short man with dyed yellow hair suddenly froze in the crowd and immediately shouted in a stern voice.
It was as if they were all in a state of paralysis and did not know anything.
Hearing this voice, although it was just a very ordinary sentence, Lu Sheng's body trembled and he stared straight at this person.
He actually heard it from the other person's mouth …
