Chapter 268 Envisioning the Future [Please Subscribe to the Full Chapter!]

······

The realm of the dead, beneath a gloomy sky.

Beside the black and deep Necromancer's River.

Xia Chen and He Tu gaze at each other across the distance.

He Tu was clearly stunned upon hearing Xia Chen's answer.

Xia Chen? Never heard of him. We're not from the same race. I just didn't expect this guy to be a human too?

This was something He Tu never expected, after all, humanoid beings are not limited to the human race, but he quickly came to terms with it.

No wonder this person knew about my glorious achievements; it turns out he was my junior.

He Tu then asked, "Which tide are you from?"

Xia Chen recalled for a moment and said, "It seems to be this tide."

"impossible!"

He Tu exclaimed. He had learned from the old tortoise that the Human Realm had only opened the Heavenly Passage for a few hundred years. If Xia Chen was truly a human from this Tidal Change, there was no reason for him to recover so quickly, and his strength was so great!

Unscientific! Unreasonable!

He Tu felt that Xia Chen was lying to him.

Xia Chen found it very strange. This He Tu, it's one thing if he doesn't like to hear the truth, but he doesn't even believe the truth when it is told?

Xia Chen said in a deep voice, "How is it impossible? I am a human from this tide!"

However, in reality, he was not a human from the Tenth Tide Change; he had simply forgotten. He died during that tide, so he believed himself to be a human from that tide.

He Tu still didn't believe it: "You say you are this tide, then why did you recover so quickly? And with your strength, how could you die!"

Judging from Xia Chen's strength, He Tu deduced that he was a Dao Integration expert before his death, otherwise he wouldn't have possessed the strength of the Eternal Peak immediately after his resurrection.

After death, people become spirits. Those with great power take longer to revive, and some may not revive at all without external stimulation. Of course, they may revive naturally after tens of millions of years.

However, in Hetu's understanding, it is impossible for someone who has reached the Dao Integration Realm to revive from the Dead Spirit River within a few hundred years after death, which is illogical!

Xia Chen shook his head: "I don't know either. I just woke up suddenly. As for my strength, you might not believe it, but I wasn't as strong as I am now when I was alive. At most, I was about the same as you are now."

He Tu was even more shocked, his mouth agape.

I suspect you're lying to me, but I have no proof...

Xia Chen glanced at him and, unusually, explained, "It's true. I have no reason to lie to you."

Honestly, the person is dead, why would I lie to you?

Besides, you're a grown man, and now you're all dark-skinned. I can't cheat you out of money or sex, so why would I need to lie?

He Tu might have something wrong with his brain!

No wonder he brought this upon himself.

At this moment, Xia Chen understood why He Tu had brought this upon himself. It's not surprising that someone with a mental problem would do anything.

He Tu remained stubbornly convinced of his reasoning: "Alright, come with me to see the old tortoise and see what he has to say."

In order to figure out what was wrong with Xia Chen, He Tu decided to go all out.

You know, he finally managed to escape from the old tortoise, and it hasn't been long before he has to go back.

And it wasn't the old tortoise that came to catch him; he was the one who wanted to go back.

Xia Chen was taken aback: "Old turtle? Are there turtles in the Netherworld?"

“No, no,” Hetu quickly explained, “Old Turtle is what I call that bastard Hongmeng. He’s the guardian of the ancient town.”

A scene flashed through Xia Chen's mind again: "I remember now, you were talking about General Hongmeng, the Spirit Suppressor?"

"Yes, I'll call him Old Turtle. You can call him that too. It sounds nice and pleasant."

Hetu was trying to drag Xia Chen into this mess, hoping that Xia Chen would actually imitate him and call him the Hongmeng Old Turtle, so that he could watch Xia Chen get beaten up.

He Tu still remembers the slap Xia Chen gave him, but he has no recollection that he was the one who struck first.

However, Xia Chen would not follow his example. He thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, then I will go with you to see General Zhenling."

I happen to have some questions in my mind, and perhaps I can get the answers from HarmonyOS.

After a long pause, Hetu nodded: "Alright, I can take you there, but you have to agree to one condition."

Xia Chen was speechless. Just now you were the one who said you would take me there, but now it seems like I'm the one begging you and have to agree to a condition. What kind of person is this? Oh, no, what kind of undead is this?

But Xia Chen really wanted to meet Hongmeng, so he planned to listen to Hetu's conditions, and if they weren't too unreasonable, he could agree to them.

While Xia Chen was still thinking, He Tu said to himself, "Afterwards, you have to help me escape from the old tortoise's clutches. This time, I went through a lot of trouble to finally get out. I've made a huge sacrifice for you!"

What He Tu didn't know was that he was able to escape purely because the Hongmeng Old Turtle didn't want to deal with him. Now that the Eastern Heavenly King was dead, no one cared about He Tu's affairs anymore, so let him run away if he wanted.

Xia Chen didn't ask the Hongmeng Old Turtle why it restricted Hetu's freedom. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Hetu's request wasn't excessive.

Moreover, and most importantly, the fact that Hetu was able to escape this time clearly shows that the Hongmeng Old Turtle let him go, but Hetu, that fool, didn't realize it.

That's true, after all, he's not mentally sound, so it's understandable that he wouldn't be able to tell.

So Xia Chen readily agreed to He Tu's condition.

He Tu immediately beamed with joy; this time, everything was settled!

With himself at the seventh level of Eternity and Xia Chen at the peak of Eternity, escaping from the old tortoise would be a piece of cake!

snort!

You old tortoise, don't even think about suppressing me this time!

Don't even think about restricting my freedom again!

He Tu chuckled and rolled his eyes, thinking that he might be able to take advantage of Xia Chen holding off the old tortoise to sneak into the passage and take a stroll through the battlefield of the heavens.

Xia Chen was annoyed. What was this guy up to now?

Xia Chen urged, "Let's go quickly."

He Tu glared at Xia Chen. What's wrong with this guy?

Can't you see I'm envisioning the future? Have you no common sense?!

Forget it, I won't argue with him.

He's just a newly resurrected, stupid undead. If he weren't a bit stronger, I could teach him a lesson in no time.

Perhaps sensing that Xia Chen needed his help, He Tu suddenly became arrogant, coldly saying, "What's the rush! The old tortoise is right there, it's not going to run away!"

Seeing that Xia Chen was about to make a move, He Tu quickly took to the air and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Follow me! Do you still want to see that old tortoise?"

Xia Chen: "..."

Are you afraid I'll hit you?

Now Xia Chen understood completely. When facing He Tu, it was better to use force than words; this guy deserved to be taught a lesson.

He Tu, who was leading the way, had no idea that in the days to come, there would be one more person attacking him...

Chapter 269 The Second Gift [Please Subscribe to the Full Chapter!]

······

that's it.

Led by He Tu, Xia Chen was rapidly flying towards the area where Hongmeng City was located.

The two remained silent the entire way, one dreaming of the future, the other trying to recall more memories.

Meanwhile, Yun Jie witnessed Xia Chen and He Tu's first meeting.

He chuckled softly, "Heh, that's really interesting."

He then shook his head, turning his gaze away from the realm of the dead and no longer paying attention to it.

At present, there is nothing in the Netherworld that Yun Jie should pay attention to.

Yun Jie turned his gaze back to Tianmie City.

This was not the first time Yun Jie had seen this city, nor was it his first time here. He had seen it a few times before, but this was the first time he had really looked at it properly.

But Yun Jie quickly lost interest, because the thirty-six ancient cities were basically the same except for the different garrisons.

So Yun Jie simply closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Actually, he came out this time mainly to stand up for Su Yu.

The people that Night King sent to Tianmie City will definitely be killed by Su Yu inside Tianmie City. There is no doubt about that. With Su Yu's abilities, he can do it.

Then, at that time, the Night King will definitely not be able to resist taking action directly.

At that time, Yun Jie's task will be to slay the Night Demon King, annihilate the Night Demon Clan, and awe the heavens, thus supporting Su Yu.

In the original novel, the early climax of the war among the heavens was the human race's annihilation of the Dragon Silkworm Clan. Now, Yun Jie wants to first annihilate the Night Shadow Clan.
