Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

"Wishful thinking! You..." Before Shen Yue could finish speaking, the communicator she was carrying suddenly rang.

Shen Yue picked up the communicator and her expression immediately changed. She quickly answered the call.

"Okay...okay...I understand, Grandpa, I'll take him to see you."

Shen Yue hung up the communicator, gave Chu Ci a strange look, and said irritably, "Come with me, my grandfather wants to see you!"

After saying that, Shen Yue turned around and walked into the depths of the North Navy base without any hesitation, with Chu Ci following closely behind her.

Shen Yue led Chu Ci into a five-story building in the central area of ​​the North Navy base and went straight to an office on the fifth floor.

"Knock knock knock," Shen Yue gently knocked on the door, and a strong voice quickly came from inside.

"Enter!"

Shen Yue stepped aside, tilted her head, and gestured for Chu Ci to go in.

Chu Ci pushed open the door and entered. Shen Yue turned and left, walking towards the outside of the building while constantly thinking about where she had heard the name Chu Ci before.

At the base entrance, because Chu Ci was criticizing Shen Xing, Shen Yue didn't notice the name Chu Ci until just now when she came to her senses and realized that the name Chu Ci sounded strangely familiar.

Shrek Academy…War God Temple…Chu Ci, Shen Yue suddenly remembered that her grandfather had told her during a conversation that the military's War God Temple had produced a groundbreaking genius named Chu Ci.

Inside the office, Chu Ci sat opposite an elderly man with white hair but a vigorous spirit.

This old man was none other than Shen Mingshen, the former commander of the Northern Navy Corps, the pillar of the Northern Navy Corps, and a level 98 Super Douluo.

Although Shen Yue is the current commander of the Northern Navy Legion, how could someone who couldn't even defeat Tang Wulin possibly control such a large legion? After all, the commanders of the other major legions in the Federation, such as Chen Xinjie of the Sea God Legion, Yu Guanzhi of the Central Legion, and Le Zheng'en of the Southern Legion, are all Limit Douluo, among the top powerhouses of their time.

In comparison, Shen Yue is clearly outmatched. Therefore, even though Grandpa Shen Mingshen has retired, he still holds the highest authority in the Northern Navy Corps. This is pure hard power.

If Shen Yue wants to fully take over Shen Mingshen's position, she'll have to wait until she breaks through to the Super Douluo level.

"I've heard Chen Xinjie mention before that the War God Temple has produced an unparalleled genius. Seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved," Shen Mingshen said with a smile.

Chu Ci humbly replied, "Grandpa Shen, you flatter me. My achievements today are inseparable from the support of the military."

“You’re quite the talker,” Shen Mingshen tapped Chu Ci lightly with his finger, then his expression turned serious and he said in a deep voice, “You said you want to cooperate with the Northern Navy Legion!”

“That’s right!” Chu Ci nodded.

"Heh," Shen Mingshen chuckled faintly, his hands crossed and resting on the desk. "You just embarrassed my two precious granddaughters. I usually don't even have the heart to scold these two girls, but today you gave them a thorough dressing down."

Chapter 295 Conversation with Shen Mingshen, Meeting with Tang Wulin

Chu Ci smiled faintly, "I still maintain that letting them experience this setback might not be a bad thing. People can only truly grow by experiencing truly unforgettable lessons."

"Moreover, when Shen Xing was kidnapped this time, not a single expert from the Northern Navy Corps came to his rescue. Was it because you, Grandpa, ordered them not to intervene?"

"This means that the senior probably wanted to see how the two sisters, Shen Yue and Shen Xing, would react after Shen Xing was kidnapped, right?"

Shen Mingshen's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he gave Chu Ci a deep look and said indifferently, "You're quite the smooth talker. You even managed to turn a setback into a sign of growth."

"It's not that I'm being definitive, it's just that we're looking at the issue from different angles," Chu Ci said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingshen chuckled, "Your thought process is quite unique, but you are right about one thing: I do want to see how my two granddaughters handle the situation just now."

At this point, Shen Mingshen sighed, "To be honest, their performance was very disappointing to me."

"As a commander of an army, Yue'er should not lose her mind, no matter how urgent the situation is, even if her own sister or family member is in danger."

“Xing’er has been under her sister’s protection for too long and has almost no ability to handle dangerous situations.”

"Actually, I had noticed this problem a long time ago, but I just couldn't bring myself to solve it."

Chu Ci smiled slightly, "That's perfect. Since you can't bring yourself to be ruthless, then I'll play the villain and help you make the Shen sisters realize their problems."

"Heh, so in that case, I should thank you for playing the bad guy for me!" Shen Mingshen said.

"No need for that. It is my honor to be able to help you, senior," Chu Ci said.

Shen Mingshen waved his hand helplessly, "Alright, tell me what exactly you want to collaborate on this time?"

Chu Ci gently tapped the storage wristband, and a screen was immediately projected onto the table. With a light swipe, the screen moved to Shen Mingshen's front.

“Senior Shen, we both belong to the military, and the military should not be excessively influenced by external forces. I think you think so too, right…”

Two and a half hours later, Shen Mingshen and Chu Ci walked out of the building chatting and laughing, and ran into Shen Yue, who had just finished a meeting.

Shen Mingshen's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Yue, and he hurriedly called out, "Yue'er, come and see Chu Ci off."

Shen Yue looked at Shen Mingshen with a surprised expression. Although Chu Ci was indeed said to be exceptionally talented, her grandfather didn't need to be so enthusiastic towards him.

Although Shen Yue was somewhat unwilling, she couldn't disobey her grandfather's orders, so she could only snort coldly.

"follow me!"

Shen Mingshen patted Chu Ci on the shoulder with a smile, "Young man, you should communicate more."

Chu Ci wore a polite and appropriate smile on his face. "Okay, senior, I'll take my leave now."

Shen Yue and Chu Ci walked side by side towards the entrance of the North Navy base. Shen Yue pouted and muttered unhappily, "I really don't know why Grandpa seems to like you so much?"

Chu Ci said helplessly, "You're a military commander, how can you still hold such a grudge? Have a bigger perspective."

“Who says a legion commander has to be magnanimous? There have always been plenty of legion commanders who are petty,” Shen Yue said.

“So, I’m here to discuss cooperation with the Northern Navy Corps, not with you, but with Old Master Shen,” Chu Ci said calmly.

……

On Devil Island, the Shrek Seven Devils were being tortured by the Devouring Demon. Chu Ci glanced at them and then continued his research on the fragments of destruction.

Now, Chu Ci's research on the fragments of destruction has made initial progress, and it is believed that before long, he will be able to freely utilize the destructive power within them.

Two days later, in a cave, Tang Wulin, who was trapped in a fantasy of desire, saw through the illusion with his strong willpower and woke up.

"My illusions were unearthed from the depths of your heart, and it's astonishing that you were able to awaken from them. However, that doesn't seem to be your power. The mortal world refines the heart, desires are boundless. Hello, I am the Old Demon of Desire."

The Demon of Desire appeared before Tang Wulin and said to him in surprise.

Tang Wulin's eyes flashed with cold light, "Why...why did you torture me like this? You..."

The Demon of Desire smiled slightly, facing Tang Wulin's questioning with complete composure. "For no reason other than to see just how deep your love truly is. I only have desires, never love, so I'm particularly eager to observe what kind of desires others experience through their love. This is my pleasure."

The old demon of desire said, "I actually guessed long ago that you would be the most difficult one among you, because your love is not clear. The girl who just appeared in your illusion only made your heart flutter a little, so it is difficult for you to completely fall in love with her."

Tang Wulin was speechless. He thought he was able to break free because of his strong will, but in reality, it was because he didn't have a woman he loved.

This is really funny!

"If you only have desire and no love, then you are really a bit abnormal."

A lazy voice sounded, and Chu Ci appeared in the cave, leaning loosely against the wall with a relaxed expression.

When the Demon of Desire saw Chu Ci, she couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness and drowning in the Yellow Springs. Fear overwhelmed her mind, and she retreated uncontrollably to the wall, as if only the hard wall could offer her any comfort.

"Brother Ci!" Tang Wulin saw Chu Ci and ran excitedly towards him.

"Wu Lin, it's been a long time," Chu Ci said with a smile.

Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief and said with lingering fear, "Brother Ci, that's great, you're alright. It seems they really kept their promise and released you."

"Huh? What do you mean by keeping your promise? You've got me?" Chu Ci was stunned when he heard Tang Wulin's words.

Tang Wulin opened his mouth in surprise, "The Old Demon of Destruction said that you have been captured and imprisoned by them, and if I do not do as they say, they will torture you severely."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci abruptly turned to look at the old demon of desire who was about to slip away, and said in a cold voice, "Explain to me, when was I imprisoned by you?"

The old demon of desire stopped in his tracks, stiffly turned his head, and awkwardly laughed, "It's necessary for military training, it's necessary for military training, please understand."

Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin realized that he had definitely been deceived.

"You, you actually dared to lie to me! You imprisoned Chu Ci and fabricated false illusions to deceive me!" Tang Wulin said angrily.

The old demon of desire rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Who told you to be so muddle-headed and confused? Don't you know how powerful Chu Ci is?"

Chapter 296 Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui's Illusions

"Wu Lin, you know my strength. How could I possibly be imprisoned and tortured by them?" Chu Ci shook his head and said helplessly.

Tang Wulin scratched his head sheepishly and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I had just been tormented by the Nightmare Demon and my head was spinning. When the Annihilation Demon released a light and shadow image of you being imprisoned, I didn't realize it might be fake."

Chu Ci waved his hand, "It's alright, just settle accounts with these old devils!"

After saying that, Chu Ci walked straight toward the Demon of Desire. A dark spatial rift appeared behind him, and the Netherworld could be clearly seen through the rift.

The Demon of Desire naturally noticed the underworld beyond the spatial rift, and fear surged into his heart, causing his legs to go weak with fright.

"Calm down, calm down," the old demon of desire stammered, clinging to the wall.

Seeing that Chu Ci remained unmoved, the Desire Demon hurriedly said, "Two of the Shrek Seven Devils are trapped in illusions related to you. You should be very interested. Why don't you go and see them first?"

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment. Before he could answer, the Desire Demon waved his right hand in the air, and a flash of light appeared, revealing six light screens in front of him.

The six light screens, of course, represent the other six members of the Shrek Seven Devils.

The light curtain was also inside the cave, and it looked exactly the same as the cave they were currently in.

The old demon of desire stretched out his finger and pointed tremblingly at the two light screens.

"It's... it's these two girls in the light and shadow who are related to you, Chu Ci."

Chu Ci's attention was drawn to the scene on the light screen. He had a vague premonition that these two girls must be the two girls in the video.

Sure enough, when Chu Ci saw the girls in the two light screens, he knew that his guess was correct. They were indeed Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui, who had confessed their love to him at the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event.

At this moment, the male protagonist in the illusion that Ye Xinglan and Yuan Enyehui were trapped in was themselves.

"Just as I expected. When I saw your face, I knew you were definitely a womanizer and had ruined quite a few girls," the old demon of desire muttered under his breath.

Chu Ci glared fiercely at the Demon of Desire and said in a deep voice, "Is this all you've got for your mortal trials?"

"If we don't refine this, what else should we refine?" The old demon of desire spread his hands and said helplessly.

"To be honest with you, the biggest desire in the hearts of these two girls is you, Chu Ci. This is also the problem they need to solve most right now."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci fell silent. He knew that suppressing his love for his beloved was definitely not a good experience; it could even be described as painful.

Tang Wulin patted Chu Ci on the shoulder and comforted him, "Let's first see what Xinglan and Yuanen's illusions are, and then think about how to solve this problem."

At the same time, Tang Wulin secretly resolved in his heart that he would avoid provoking women if he could avoid it.

Chu Ci sighed, rubbing his forehead, and suppressed his thoughts, focusing his mind to observe the illusions of Xinglan and Yuanen.
