After listening, Jiang Yongnian smiled bitterly and said, “That’s right, my path is indeed different from theirs.”
“Because even if I desperately chase after them, I can never catch a glimpse of their backs.”
“Thank you, sir, for helping me dispel my inner demon and understand myself!”
Having said that, Jiang Yongnian performed a deep bow to Chen Changsheng.
“Hahaha!”
“Now that you understand, go back. Your father is still waiting for you.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongnian bowed once again and then turned to leave.
Halfway through, Jiang Yongnian turned his head and looked at the “Chen Changsheng” who was half-burned, saying, “Sir, you will save them, right?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng shook his head.
“Sorry, I can’t save them. Not only can I not save them, but my own safety is also a problem.”
“The only ones who can save them are themselves.”
Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Yongnian opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
……
The first year of war.
Apart from three strong assaults, both sides were testing each other.
The only fierce area was the capture battles on the Four Directions Continent.
The entire younger generation of the Four Directions Continent participated in the capture, yet facing so many enemies, Xu Yao and others erupted with unparalleled potential, beheading seventy-eight talents in one breath.
Upon hearing this news, the morale of the Heavenly Court rose three points.
However, this situation did not last long. As the masters from the Four Directions Continent joined the battle, one bad news after another emerged.
The teams were scattered, and Gui Daoran and his senior siblings nearly fell into the enemy’s hands.
Su Yao was surrounded and attacked by three top talents, then managed to escape thirty thousand miles.
……
The fifth year of war.
The situation became even more severe, with one piece of good news and one piece of bad news coming from the Four Directions Continent.
The good news was that Swordsman Chen Xiang had intervened to relieve most of the pressure on Xu Yao and the others.
The bad news was that Swordsman Chen Xiang was almost dragged into the ground by ten Immortal King Realm top masters, nearly losing her life.
News continued to flow in, but the Heavenly Court remained as steady as a mountain, gradually reinforcing the front lines.
……
Four Directions Continent.
“After lying low for two years, it’s time for you to act.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng in front of him, Zhang Zhen said lightly, “If you let me act now, the danger level will be much higher.”
“The points cannot be at the original price.”
“Sorry, the points are still at the original price.”
“Why?”
“Simply because the thing you are going to get this time is the Divine King Cauldron.”
“Chen Xiang has drawn away a large number of Immortal King Realm experts, while Xu Yao and his group have drawn away the very top talents.”
“With such a rare opportunity, it is indeed the best time for you to take the Divine King Cauldron.”
“My people have helped you this much, so increasing the price for those extra points shouldn’t be considered excessive.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhen showed no hesitation and coldly said, “I don’t believe for a second that you would give them the increased portion of the points.”
“That’s my own matter. As long as you don’t lose out, it’s fine.”
“That makes sense, but I still won’t take this mission.”
“Why?”
“Even though I’ve dealt with the anti-Chu poison, my physical body is still weak and fragile. I can handle a few assassinations, but I can’t bear long-term battles, let alone being hunted like Jian Fei and the others.”
“What if I add this thing?”
Chen Changsheng handed a wooden box to Zhang Zhen.
Looking at the wooden box in front of him, Zhang Zhen frowned and said, “What do you mean by this?”
“The Immortal Tears can heal your body, but the issue of your True Spirit is not yet resolved, so this thing can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.”
“You must undergo further treatment within ten years of taking the Immortal Tears, or you’ll still d*e.”
“However, during these ten years, you can fight to your heart’s content.”
“Additionally, you need to earn the points for the next treatment during these ten years.”
Facing this request, Zhang Zhen said, “As long as you can issue enough missions, I’ll do whatever it takes, no matter how difficult.”
“But can you give me a concrete time frame for how long the next treatment will take?”
“Ten years!”
“Even if you gather ten thousand points right now, I still need ten years.”
“The Immortal Tears can only guarantee my life for ten years. What about the extra ten years?”
“That’s up to you.”
“Now take the Immortal Tears, you have ten years. After one year, you’ll have eleven years.”
“By the way, I should remind you that ten years is just the most optimistic estimate. I can’t be sure if it will take even longer.”
“After all, restoring the Divine King Cauldron takes time, obtaining the Seven Colors destiny takes time, and refining the Divine Medicine also takes time.”
“There might be unexpected incidents during this time, and no one can guarantee that.”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s response, Zhang Zhen began to think quickly.
After a long while, Zhang Zhen looked at Chen Changsheng.
“Is there anything else you want to ask?”
“No, all you need to do is keep getting stronger and live on.”
“Alright, I accept this mission!”
Having said that, Zhang Zhen left.
Watching Zhang Zhen’s retreating figure, Chen Changsheng revealed a smile.
“Swish!”
Fu Yao appeared beside Chen Changsheng and said, “He’s a good seed. Are you really sure he can last through these ten years?”
“I believe he can. Before he encountered me, he had already managed to survive stubbornly. What’s more now?”
“I’ve copied the content of your class and given him a copy.”
“The conditions are all the same; how far one goes will depend on themselves.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng turned to Fu Yao.
“Shouldn’t you also take action? If you don’t act, I’ll find it hard to have an opportunity.”
“Even if I act, they won’t let their guard down, right?”
“After all, they are all on guard against you, the Undertaker.”
“You will find a way,” Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “After researching me for so long, you will definitely play the role of me the best.”
“What’s in it for me?”
“I’ll give you a luxurious coffin and prepare a grand finale for you.”
“Sounds tempting, but I want to add some more things.”
“Although I’m fully prepared to greet d*ath, nobody wants to d*e while they can still live, right?”
“What do you want?”
“The secret to your longevity!”
At these words, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
“Do you really want to know this secret?”
“To know your enemy and yourself is to win every battle. If I want Ziyan to take your longevity, I at least need to know why you can live so long.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll trick you?”
“If you tricked me, then so be it. After all, I won’t be around to care.”
“As long as Ziyan can catch you, you will definitely reveal the secret of longevity.”
“Asking now is just to satisfy my curiosity.”
“Because I really want to know if Ziyan will eventually win.”
Faced with Fu Yao’s words, Chen Changsheng fell silent for a long time.
“I promise you, before you d*e, I will definitely tell you this secret.”
