My Mysterious Left Hand

Shortly after he left, the area where his house was located was suddenly enveloped by an invisible force, but the force disappeared the next moment.

Meanwhile, in the wilderness several kilometers away from Mango Village, a group of Taoist priests were surrounding a formation plate.

"The teleportation formation has failed; the target is not at home; the intelligence was incorrect."

"Impossible, he was home just half an hour ago. Could he have gone out?"

"Let's just go and arrest them. As long as we're fast enough, the military won't be able to spot us."

A group of Taoist priests put away their array plates and quickly entered Mango Village under the cover of night.

……

A sense of crisis lingers; clearly, the danger isn't just inside my house, and I haven't gotten rid of it yet.

Li Chen's expression was solemn as he strode towards the brightly lit area ahead.

Finally, as he approached the military's encampment, the sense of crisis suddenly vanished.

It seems that the Xuanming Society really is going to make a move against me, but now that I'm close to the military, they don't dare to show themselves.

"I wonder why Xuanming chose me? On the surface, a genius of He Jinlong's caliber should have been a better choice, right?"

Or is it because I'm an orphan with no background or identity, making me easy to bully?

He scoffed inwardly, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this divine ability to foresee danger is truly powerful. From now on, let's call this ability 'Divine Sense.'"

Li Chen gave his crisis-predicting ability a name, then looked ahead.

The back mountain I see now is very different from the back mountain I remember.

Because almost all the trees here have been cut down, and a thick wall has been erected around it.

The wall is over three meters thick, and the parts that have already been built are already two meters high. The surrounding area is brightly lit, and countless people are still working overtime to complete the construction.

The military clearly intends to completely surround the area.

Inside the walled area, there is a spherical fog zone with a diameter of over 100 meters.

The spherical mist area was an eerie pale blue, clearly a convex sphere, but upon closer inspection, it gave the impression of an inwardly concave sphere.

It seems that no matter which direction you look from, it's a concave space, which is very strange.

"Is this the world portal that has already taken shape... or is about to take shape? How amazing!"

Li Chen took a deep breath and then strode over.

Just then, Hu Zhongming walked towards him. He was slightly taken aback when he saw him, then exclaimed with delight, "Brother Li Chen... ah, no, Brother Li, you're here too!"

Li Chen glanced at the other person, ignored him, and continued walking towards the entrance to the world passage marked out by the military.

The area was not closed off, and people were clearly still allowed to enter and exit.

"Brother Li, I was wrong before, but I swear, I really didn't mean any harm."

Chen Zhongming quickly followed up: "I admit I had some selfish motives. Introducing you to He Jinlong would also benefit me, but I didn't mean to harm you."

"Then what was your purpose in suggesting that I join the military?" Li Chen suddenly asked.

"My dad works in the military, and I just want to help him recruit some promising newcomers."

Hu Zhongming hesitated slightly, then continued, "Furthermore, in the future, the military will definitely need to be at the forefront to deal with all crises. The more capable people the military has, the safer people like us will be. Brother Li, don't you agree?"

"You really are a clever little devil," Li Chen sneered.

"But my intentions weren't bad. I never meant anything against you. I would give this kind of advice to any genius I meet."

Hu Zhongming said frankly, "After all, these choices are also a path to advancement for geniuses. I am only giving suggestions and will not force anyone."

Li Chen didn't elaborate on the matter: "What's He Jinlong's attitude now? Has he said he's preparing to deal with me?"

"I really don't know. When I came back before, He Jinlong had already entered the Wilderness World."

At this point, Chen Zhongming suddenly explained, "Brother Li, you should have seen the news, right? The previous story about the Savage World being a 'fragment of the primordial world from mythology' was false information, a rumor spread by an evil organization called the Xuanming Society."

He paused, then added, "It's said that if people believe those rumors, they can make the evil god of the Xuanming Society stronger. It's unbelievable; the evil god's abilities are just too bizarre."

Li Chen nodded slightly, about to continue speaking, when he suddenly looked at a homeless man not far away with a puzzled expression.

To be precise, it was an old man who collected garbage. He was very old, probably around ninety years old, and looked like he might die at any moment.

"How come there are homeless people here? Doesn't the military care?" he wondered.

"How can we not do anything about it? But there's no way to do anything about it."

Hu Zhongming said with a strange expression, "This old man seems to have cultivated as well. The military forcibly drove him away several times, saying it was dangerous here, but he always managed to find his way back. He even helped kill some ferocious beasts that had broken into this area. His strength is not weak; it's probably equivalent to the third level of a mortal cultivator."

"At such an advanced age, he can still cultivate?"

Li Chen was genuinely surprised: "What's his purpose in staying here?"

"I heard he wanted to go to the Savage World to search for treasure, but the military won't allow it. Now only those with militia status can enter and exit the world portal. Although he is qualified to obtain militia status, he's so old, wouldn't going there be suicide?"

Hu Zhongming said with a wry smile, "So he's just staying here and refusing to leave."

"I see."

Without saying anything more, Li Chen strode directly into the passageway under construction.

"Ding!"

A notification sound rang out, and his identity information was displayed on the screen next to him.

The soldier on guard glanced at the message and then ignored it.

"Brother Li, don't you feel the defense is lax?"

Hu Zhongming said with a smile, "What you see is only what's on the surface. In reality, there are special treasures guarding it in secret. Also, the checks on people coming from Earth to the barbaric world are not strict, but those coming from the other side are very strict. People who are not from this world cannot get through."

"Is this 'can't come over' a restriction imposed by the military, or some other restriction?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Yes, we have them all."

Hu Zhongming explained, "The military will definitely not allow creatures from the Savage World to break into this place and cause trouble. At the same time, I heard that from the perspective of the Savage World, our Earth universe is called the 'Land of Eternal Silence,' which is also the Land of Magic. All outsiders will be suppressed to the first level of mortals, just like those insects and ferocious birds before. The strongest of them is only at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm."

"The Land of Eternal Silence?"

Li Chen asked in surprise, "People from over there are suppressed when they come over, but what about Earthlings?"

"Humans on Earth are not restricted in the mortal realm, but this restriction only applies to the nine realms of mortals. It is said that even if one surpasses the nine realms of mortals, upon returning to Earth, one will be suppressed back to the nine realms of mortals."

Hu Zhongming replied, "I've heard that only native Earth creatures can be unrestricted, but to break through, one must go to the wild world, because we don't have the conditions for breaking through here; the upper limit has been permanently locked."

At this point, he sighed, "Fortunately, after breaking through over there and returning to Earth, my cultivation level didn't drop; at most, it was suppressed to the ninth realm of mortals."

"Can't break through here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen frowned slightly.

It seems I need to stay in the Wilderness World permanently, because once the problem with my cultivation technique is solved, I can quickly make successive breakthroughs.

Seeing Li Chen head straight for the World Passage, Chen Zhongming asked in surprise, "Brother Li, are you planning to go there tonight?"

"The military shouldn't impose any restrictions, right?" Li Chen asked.

"There are no restrictions, but the nights in the wilderness are extremely dangerous."

Hu Zhongming reminded, "Of course, if you don't stray too far from the passage, it's not a big problem, because a defensive base has already been built over there."

"That's fine then."

Li Chen strode forward and walked directly into the world passage formed by light blue mist.
