Chapter 75 Jiangnan Base City
The river of time flows mightily and ceaselessly.
In the gap where the endless tributaries and the main stream of imaginary numbers intersect, Lin Yuan's soul was enveloped by an unparalleled power that transcends boundaries, transforming into a dazzling stream of light that flowed upstream.
"when--"
Deep within the sea of consciousness, a fragment of the Eastern Emperor Bell emitted a chime.
Under the protection of that bell, no matter how frantically the surrounding temporal and spatial currents tore at him, no matter how the indescribable things hidden deep in the years roared, Lin Yuan's soul remained as steady as Mount Tai, untouched by any dust.
"The one-year period has finally come to an end."
Lin Yuan's soul stood in the space-time passage, looking back at the gradually receding world of the Investiture of the Gods.
There is the blood rain of Chentang Pass, the celestial music of Jin'ao Island, the heroic spirit of the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect, and the Tongtian Sect Master who imparted all the knowledge of the Shangqing Great Dao.
"Master, fellow disciples, we have a long future ahead of us."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.
He then slowly turned around and turned his gaze toward the end of the passage, toward the planet that emitted a blue light.
"Blue Star, Jiangnan Base City..."
"I, Lin Yuan, am back!"
"Whoosh—"
The divine soul transformed into an unbearable beam of light, completely piercing through the dimensional barrier and descending with a thunderous roar!
......
The main world, Blue Star.
Jiangnan Base City, First Military High School.
The school's main playground was already packed with people and heavily guarded.
Dozens of military armed helicopters circled overhead, keeping watch.
On the ground, a fully armed mech guard surrounded the huge teleportation array in the center of the playground.
Today is an absolutely big day for S-class.
It was the final moment for those explorers who were forcibly selected and thrown into the SSS+ level unknown secret realm [Godhood] to return after their one-year term was up!
The entire military leadership of Jiangnan Base City, the heads of major martial arts families, and all the teachers, students, and their families held their breath, staring intently at the huge holographic projection screen above the playground.
Repressed.
asphyxia.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and despair.
Because on that light screen, the 35 vibrant names that originally belonged to the First Military High School were now fading away in swathes at a chilling speed!
"Thump."
A mother who had lost her child collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way, and let out a heart-wrenching wail.
"No... my child!"
"They're all dead...and another one's turned black!"
A series of gasps of astonishment rippled through the crowd.
"This is too brutal! What kind of hellish secret realm is this? At least half of the group that went to the [Laughing at the World Secret Realm] last year survived!"
"What do you know? This is officially rated as SSS+, the highest level of danger known to humankind! It's an absolute forbidden zone where even a team led by a military S-rank swordsman wouldn't survive more than three minutes!"
"Just being alive and coming back is already a miracle!"
Just as the entire audience was plunged into a somber mood and deep sorrow.
The flashing of names on the screen finally stopped.
Of the thirty-five names, a full twenty-eight had turned into a deathly gray-white.
Only seven names remained, still emitting a faint golden light, proving that they were still alive!
The survival rate is exactly 20%!
Upon seeing this dazzling number, the principal and several school leaders in the center of the viewing platform exchanged glances, all beaming with joy, their faces crinkling with delight.
"Great, that's wonderful!"
The principal clenched his fist tightly, his breathing becoming heavy with excitement.
He had learned in advance through insider information from high-level officials that although this "Investiture of the Gods" calamity was extremely terrifying, thanks to the later appearance of a large number of "incomplete cultivation manuals", the overall survival rate of high schools across the country had increased dramatically.
But this is an SSS+ level Jedi!
Their First Military High School actually managed to maintain a 20% survival rate!
Such outstanding results will definitely make them stand out among the top schools in the Jiangnan Base City!
The principal was quickly calculating in his mind, feeling as if a broad road was already unfolding beneath his feet.
With such an unprecedented and ruthless political achievement, as long as he flatters the most outstanding young master of the Chu family and then makes proper arrangements, he might be able to move up the position of principal and directly enter the core high-level of the Municipal Education Bureau.
"It's revealed! These seven people are alive!"
Someone shouted excitedly, interrupting the principal's thoughts, and all eyes in the room instantly focused on those seven names.
At the very top of those seven names, shining brightest and even carrying a hint of subtle oppression, were three large characters:
【Chu Tianhe (Rank B/Yin Shang Dynasty Lieutenant General)】!
"Hahaha, good! Good! Great!"
Directly in front of the playground, on the highest-level VIP viewing platform.
Chu Qingtian, the richest man in Jiangnan Base City and the current head of the Chu family, suddenly stood up, his excited laughter echoing like a booming bell across half the playground.
"Tianhe is my Tianhe!"
Chu Qingtian was so excited that his face was flushed, and he slapped his thigh repeatedly.
The Chu family's high-ranking members, who were standing nearby, were overjoyed and wept, and they all stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Patriarch! Congratulations! The eldest young master is indeed a dragon among men, a genius beyond compare!"
"Of course! The young master started with a B-level compatibility and was even a lieutenant general commanding three thousand soldiers of the Yin Shang! In this meat grinder-like secret realm, the young master not only survived but also shone the brightest, he must have received an extraordinary stroke of luck!"
"Patriarch, I believe that the young master's success in this situation is inseparable from the Chu family's network of connections within the military. It must be that the military's think tank, out of respect for the Chu family, has been giving the young master preferential treatment and clearing the way for him!"
An elder of the Chu family stroked his beard with a smug look on his face and said.
Chu Qingtian nodded in deep agreement, then surveyed his surroundings with an air of arrogance.
Thinking to myself.
Although those old fogies appeared indifferent, they were still willing to send Heavenly King-level experts who were lying in wait in the secret realm to take action. The Chu family would remember this favor.
"Hmph, how could those commoner sons compare to the prodigy of my Chu family?"
"Tianhe's return this time must bring back an astonishing cultivation technique! What is the 'Nine Swords of Dugu' from the [Laughing at the Realm] compared to Tianhe's destiny for immortality? It's not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"
"Within three days, my son will definitely be among the specially recruited students for Kunlun Military University! And the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Military Region in this Jiangnan Base City will surely be our Chu family's!"
The arrogance and ecstasy of the Chu family naturally reached the ears of the other students, teachers, and officers around them.
Although many people dislike the smug and arrogant attitude of the Chu family.
But no one dared to refute it.
In this era where strength reigns supreme, Chu Tianhe's compatibility and the resulting achievements are enough to crush any dissent!
"Sigh, the Chu family is really going to soar to great heights this time."
"Who can blame them for being lucky? They were born into a good family, and the identity they drew is a game-changer. A deputy general of the Yin Shang Dynasty—that's someone who can directly access the core power of the secret realm!"
"What level do you think Young Master Chu's cultivation will reach this time? Will he break through to the fifth-tier Martial General directly?"
"Fifth tier? You're underestimating an SSS+ level secret realm! I heard there's an S-tier seed in the neighboring North China base city who spent a year in a mid-level martial arts dungeon and jumped straight to seventh-tier Grandmaster! Young Master Chu, this is a cultivation secret realm; you should at least be at seventh tier!"
The entire audience was abuzz with discussion; all the focus, all the anticipation, all the awe, converged on that name.
They were unaware of the miserable state Chu Tianhe suffered in the secret realm, being smashed to his knees by Nezha's attacks.
Little did they know that Chu Tianhe had been imprisoned in Chaoge's death row for taking the blame for someone else, and even his golden armor had been stripped off.
In the eyes of these people, Chu Tianhe, who drew the B-level lieutenant general, is the absolute protagonist who can command the wind and rain and kill all sides in the secret realm!
