From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Looks like I'll have to run to get to my destination!

Zheng Zha's expression darkened.

Given Smith's speed, even if he wanted to keep up, he would need to unleash his full potential. It's estimated that just being unable to escape the one-kilometer limit of the river's flow would wipe out the entire newcomer team.

"Gentlemen, would you like to have a chat?"

However, Jiang Liu gestured for Lu Jin and the others to leave first, but called out to Zheng Zibu, hoping he would wait for him nearby for a while. He then walked towards Zheng Zha and the others.

"I wonder what you want to ask, young brother?" Recalling what Chu Xuan had just said, and considering that Jiang Liu's head was worth two S-level side quests and 50,000 reward points to the main god, Zheng Zha felt inexplicably nervous. He swallowed hard before asking.

"I'm more interested in what you call the 'chief god'."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha and the other veterans, except for Chu Xuan and his creator Arno, were all taken aback.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Zheng Zha tried to change the subject. "Besides, shouldn't we be catching up with Smith and the others by now?"

"Catching up with them is a piece of cake for me, but can you catch up with them?" As he spoke, Jiang Liu leaned closer to Zheng Zha, raised his hand and pinched the other's muscles, and commented, "Very impressive, your muscle strength surpasses the limits of human beings, but your cultivation level is not very strong."

"that···"

Zheng Zha was about to speak when Chu Xuan interrupted him, asking, "Oh? You have research on the limits of human beings?"

"Understood."

Jiang Liu looked at the bespectacled, expressionless man and said, "This guy's physical body is one of the strongest among you, but among the superhumans, without any special explosive methods, his pure strength is only around the passing grade. Among the forty-two people including me, he would be at the bottom."

Of course, in terms of pure physical attributes, excluding Smith who follows the Western alchemical system, of the forty-two of us, only I am barely on par with this guy.

Forty-two people?

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, realizing that Jiang Liu wanted to be frank with them, and asked, "You must have noticed that we were different from you before I said anything I shouldn't have, right?"

"Cultivate the spirit of the five internal organs, and refine your heart to be sincere."

Jiang Liu spoke of the principles of cultivation, "I have cultivated a little spiritual light that dwells in the void. After arriving at the south gate of the city, I noticed that there were many more people. At that time, I vaguely felt that there was a problem with my memory. It was as if an unknown entity had unknowingly added an insignificant memory to my memory."

Regarding your identities—

I choose to trust my intuition.

I'm here to be frank with you for one purpose only: I don't know who's backing you, and while I'm interested, I don't have time to find out. Right now, I just want to confirm whether your goals and interests align with mine in this matter.

What if they don't match?

Zhang Jie asked tentatively.

boom!

In an instant, an aura shot straight into the sky, distorting the air and knocking the twenty people to the ground. The oppressive atmosphere chilled everyone to the bone.

Jiang Liu chuckled and said, "Even if you're just testing me, then I can only apologize to all of you!"

"United! United in our goals!"

Zhang Jie hurriedly shouted.

The instant Zhang Jie finished speaking, the invisible wave of energy vanished in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Liu stepped forward, helped Zhang Jie up, and said in an extremely affected manner, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry about that! But why didn't you say so earlier?"

Zhang Jie's mouth twitched, and he was about to say something when he saw Jiang Liu release his hand and quickly help Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and the others up one by one, with a rather funny expression.

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing?"

The commotion attracted Zheng Zibu, who was standing not far away. "Although I also think their clothes and appearance are a bit too Westernized, like fake foreign devils, isn't it a bad idea to scare them like that?"

Zheng Zha and the others: "..."

I almost forgot!

This is the Republic of China era!

"I don't judge people by their appearance; I just want to make friends with these interesting guys."

Jiang Liu casually made up an excuse, then stretched out his hand to Zheng Zibu, "Does Dean Dai have any talismans? Give me twenty!"

"You think drawing talismans is easy? I do carry a lot of talisman paper with me, but how can I carry so many talismans for traveling at once?"

Even so, Zheng Zibu still took out twenty Dean Dai talismans.

Prior to this, just in case, Zheng Zibu was drawing all sorts of talismans, including forty-two talismans for escape, so that the forty-two people could escape quickly if they encountered trouble later.

But when Zheng Zibu took out the remaining twenty-two Dean Dai talismans, his eyes widened in surprise, and he muttered, "Did I draw forty-two? Or sixty-two? I shouldn't have drawn fewer..."

Hearing him say this, Zheng Zha and the others became slightly nervous. After all, the identities arranged by the main god were too presumptuous, causing the "plot characters" to have doubts.

Fortunately, Zheng Zibu wasn't one to overthink things. Unable to understand, he stuffed the remaining Dean Dai talismans back into his bag and asked, "Are you going to give them these?"

"Look at their deformed appearance, do you think they can catch up with the main force without your talisman?" Jiang Liu retorted.

"That's true... In the martial arts tournament, more than a dozen ordinary people actually made it to the elimination rounds? That's unbelievable! Why don't you ordinary people just stay?"

Zheng Zibu suggested, "Going there would be suicide."

"No! I must keep up!" Qi Tengyi dared not gamble and hurriedly shouted.

"Perfect! I'll stay!"

Despite Jiang Liu's intimidating presence, some of the thirteen newcomers in the Zhongzhou team still refused to believe they had traveled back to the Republic of China era.

Even if they believed it, they wouldn't dare stay with Jiang Liu, such a capricious guy!

# Chapter 319 Annihilation, A Tremor Originating from the Soul

In the end, nine out of the thirteen newcomers chose to stay. Even Zheng Zha's attempts to persuade them were to no avail. He could only sigh and let them leave.

It's hard to reason with a damned ghost.

The Central Continent team has only eleven players left.

Zheng Zibu also saved nine Dean Dai talismans, but he still said to Qi Tengyi, Lu Renjia, Xiao Bingyi, and Jun Zhongding, "Why don't you four stay as well?"

"I want to get involved in this." Qi Teng took Dean Dai's talisman, not only because he realized that Jiang Liuzhen possessed supernatural powers, but also because he wanted to seize this opportunity.

Lu Renjia, Xiao Bingyi, and Jun Zhongding also took Dean Dai's talisman, not daring to leave it behind, intending to take a gamble and see if they could gain supernatural power from it.

Those members of the Central Continent team who came into contact with Dean Dai's talisman all received a message from the Supreme God:

[Story item: Dean Dai's Talisman, affixed to the back, allows travel of 800 li per day. The effect can be maintained by consuming magic power, internal energy, vampire energy, true essence, and life force. It expires after traveling 800 li.]

"Taoist talismans?"

Chu Xuan was quite curious.

“This is not free; you need to offer corresponding value in exchange.” Jiang Liu did not answer Chu Xuan.

Zheng Zha raised his hand and wiped the storage ring on his finger, taking out five gold bricks.

Jiang Liu did not accept it: "We'll talk about the value you'll have to pay later. I have a feeling we'll cooperate with you again in the future."

"A spatial item?"

Zheng Zibu's gaze, however, was fixed on the storage ring. "Even the Heavenly Craft Hall has very few people who can refine something like a Devouring Pouch, let alone a storage ring."

You bunch of strange people...you're quite capable!

Each magical artifact used for storage is extremely precious; even a master craftsman wouldn't dare claim he could forge just one.

Moreover, crafting weapons is extremely mentally taxing. Most weapon crafters can be considered "masters" if they can create two or three masterpieces in their lifetime.

But looking at Zheng Zha's expression—

He doesn't seem like a weapon refiner at all.

"Oh? Do you have people here who can refine magical artifacts?" Chu Xuan realized that this parallel world of the "horror movie" was a huge treasure trove.

“Yes, it is Tiangong Hall, but that’s beside the point. Let’s catch up with the others first.” With that, Jiang Liu took the lead and ran quickly in the direction Smith and the others had left, wanting to see the abilities and determination of these “extraterrestrial demons”.

"Come on!"

Seeing Jiang Liu quickly pull away from them by nearly a hundred meters in a second, Zheng Zha was shocked. He hurriedly stuffed the five gold bricks back into his storage ring, then stuck the Dean Dai talisman on his back. Using his internal energy as fuel, he felt much lighter and his speed exceeded twenty meters per second as he ran away quickly.

The others followed suit!

Among them, Qi Tengyi, Lu Renjia, Xiao Bingyi, and Jun Zhongding are ordinary people. Even with the assistance of Dean Dai's talisman, they can only consume their own Qi.

Even so, they still lagged far behind.

"Oops!"

Seeing Qi Teng fall behind, Zheng Zha slowed down and Chu Xuan, who caught up with him, said, "Don't think about saving people at a time like this."

If we fall a kilometer behind the river, we'll die too.

He has no idea that our actions are subject to limitations.

Damn it!

Zheng Zha gritted his teeth and could only run as fast as he could.

Jiang Liu is moving too fast. If they get distracted again, even these veterans might be wiped out!

"He only unleashed that speed to catch up with the others. Once he catches up, his speed should slow down. According to my calculations, as long as the newcomer doesn't slow down, he can definitely catch up with him," Chu Xuan calculated.

"Do you think they're robots?" Zheng Zha gritted his teeth.

"Try to regulate your breathing. The Main God Space isn't here for you to be a good person." After that, Chu Xuan stopped talking and focused on running.

Just one kilometer away from Yuhang, nine violent explosions reached Zheng Zha and the others' minds, sending a chill down their spines.

die--

They couldn't say they were used to it, but the way they died, murdered by the God of God, always gave them a tremor from the depths of their souls.

no doubt.

Those nine who chose to stay died!

They were obliterated by the Supreme God!

Of the remaining five newcomers, only the "young man" maintained steady breathing. Qi Tengyi and the three extras were so frightened that their breathing became disordered, and they all sped up.

Jiang Liu's ancestral aperture also trembled slightly, sensing that the extra part of his memory had been erased by some invisible force.
