421: I'm afraid you're being too generous.
"You've finished, right? Give it back to This Old Lady now."
Yi Rui rolled her eyes. She was now completely convinced that her path was the correct one.
"Mr. Chen, there should also be a ruin in Great Liang Kingdom. I hope you can find it."
"That way, our Imperial Research Institute won't have to go through the trouble of moving the Testing Ground over."
"What, you can use the Testing Ground within the world-suppressing nail?"
Chen Heng raised an eyebrow. Didn't this Old Woman say she didn't recognize Chinese characters?
"Of course. Although we don't recognize those characters, after many years of trying, we are able to use it."
"The Testing Ground in our Central Great Tower was replicated from the Testing Ground in the ruins."
Yi Rui nodded. Even if she couldn't, wouldn't she know after trying? She wouldn't say, so who would know she couldn't?
"So, what do you plan to do?" Chen Heng looked Yi Rui, who had recovered, up and down, asking with some curiosity.
Even if Yi Rui had a vision and knowledge far exceeding this world's, what she wanted to do was interstellar migration.
The demands for both productivity and technology were extraordinarily high.
With the current foundation of this world, trying to achieve it... Chen Heng suddenly realized that the natives of this world possessed a kind of power.
A'n Si Si Power.
His Fellow Countryman had once mentioned in a document that as long as they firmly believed it was true and that the matter could succeed, even things fabricated out of thin air could become real.
It was almost the same as Ox Can Speak's power... The gods and Human Race of this world should also have a significant connection.
"I plan to teach Tianer. I will teach her everything I know, without hiding a single bit."
Yi Rui smiled slightly, and Chen Heng immediately understood that she wanted to teach Tianer to use Ox Can Speak's Divine Power.
"I understand." Chen Heng raised his hand to stop Yi Rui from speaking further. It was better for fewer people to know about Ox Can Speak's Divine Power.
This way, it would also be a fallback for everyone.
The premise was that if Chen Heng truly failed in confronting the root, this fallback could play a crucial role.
"Then, Tianer is entrusted to you." Chen Heng picked up Chen Tianer, who was hugging his calf, and placed her in Yi Rui's arms.
"Tianer, call her Master."
"Master!" Chen Tianer was a clever girl and sweetly called Yi Rui "Master" right away.
Hearing this "Master" made Yi Rui overjoyed, and she gently stroked Chen Tianer's little head.
"Good, good, the Imperial Research Institute has a successor!"
"After the Testing Ground in the world-suppressing nail is cleared out, I will come to find you. Stay in Xuan Alliance for a while first."
Chen Heng said to Yi Rui and the Researchers behind her.
"I understand, Mr. Chen." Yi Rui nodded, but her gaze wasn't on him at all.
The Old Woman, perhaps because she had no children in her life, was overcome with maternal affection as she looked at Chen Tianer in her arms.
"Let's go." Chen Heng called out to his 'attachments,' and they happily trotted behind him.
"Mr. Chen, wait a moment!" Seeing Chen Heng and the others about to leave, Yi Rui quickly stopped him.
"Could Wu Man stay? I might be able to find the reason for their immunity to external erosion on him."
"That way, even if both plans fail, the Human Race might still be able to survive."
"Wu Man, what do you think?" Chen Heng turned to look at Wu Man, who was observing everything around him.
"I'll listen to Chen Heng!" Wu Man trusted Chen Heng immensely, the kind where whatever he said, went.
"Alright, then you stay and help Director Yi and them."
Chen Heng believed Yi Rui wouldn't harm Wu Man. Besides, they couldn't defeat Wu Man, could they?
Back then, Wu Man's punch could embed even him into a wall. These weak Researchers were even less of a match for him.
"Hmm, I understand. Chen Heng, take good care of Muwu and the others!"
Wu Man nodded and stayed behind, while Chen Heng left Xuan Alliance with Bai Jun and the others.
He had many things to do next. First, he needed to check the information left inside the world-suppressing nail, which was also the First Divine Tomb Research Center.
Additionally, he needed to clear out the Testing Ground within the world-suppressing nail.
Second, he needed to see if he could 'take a bite' out of a star. Although the chances of success were small, the greatest possibility was that he would be burned to ashes by the star.
The last point, which he was about to do immediately, was Yagyu Han's wedding.
That's right, this old fellow, upon learning of Chen Heng's return, immediately rushed to get married.
His wedding preparations had long been ready, just waiting for Chen Heng to come back.
His invitations had already been sent in all directions, and many Martial Forest Schools and relatives and friends had received his wedding invitation.
These people were currently staying in Qiyang City, having been picked up by Xuan Alliance.
The invited guests were quite well-behaved in Qiyang City, especially after seeing the people from Xuan Alliance.
Of course, there were always some brain-dead individuals who would cause trouble, but they just hadn't appeared yet.
Chen Heng even looked forward to whether some idiot would provoke him during Yagyu Han's wedding.
He had long wanted to experience a 'showing off and slapping Faces' moment, but never had the chance... Back home, Chen Heng told Chen Fugui about Chen Tianer becoming an apprentice.
"The person you mentioned... sounds a bit unreliable, doesn't she?"
Chen Fugui's Face wrinkled up. The more Chen Heng spoke, the more unreliable he felt it was.
"Don't worry, although Director Yi, this Old Woman, seems a bit mentally unstable, she is absolutely reliable."
Especially her vision and knowledge, which transcend the entire era, will infinitely expand Chen Tianer's future potential.
"Alright then, if you say she's reliable, then I won't say anything more."
Chen Fugui nodded. Anyone his son approved of must be extraordinary.
At least much better than those crooked melons and rotten dates he found.
"Also, you must go to Yagyu Han's wedding. When our family had trouble, that kid risked his life quite a bit."
"He was just a bit weak and was almost killed by a palm strike."
Chen Fugui gently tapped the table and brought up a large box.
"At that time, you carry this box of silver and give it to him. Don't lose Face."
"Especially in front of the various Schools and the Tang Family's relatives, be sure to uphold your Face."
"You don't need to worry about this." Chen Heng pushed the silver back. A wedding gift of this caliber would only lower Chen Heng's status.
"I naturally have my own things to give. How could I lose Face?"
"Besides, he is my subordinate, so I will naturally arrange things for him."
"Don't worry."
"I'm not worried that what you bring out will be too poor, but rather too good..."
Chen Fugui muttered softly. He knew how generous his son was.
"Alright then, I won't bother with it. I'll just be responsible for eating at that time."
