519: Old Zhang the beggar opens the milk window

Three days later, the architecture of the Great Chaos Era began to twist, becoming something Bai Jun and the others had never seen before.

A month later, the distortion gradually stopped.

The surrounding buildings also changed from a mixture of wood and stone to reinforced concrete.

Another month passed, and figures Bai Jun and the others had never seen before slowly began to appear on the streets.

The clothes they wore were also completely different from theirs.

How to put it, it gave people a very awkward feeling.

It wasn't exactly bizarre clothing, but it just looked very strange.

Half a year later, the world-suppressing nail, where Bai Jun and the others had originally lived, also disappeared, and they completely lost their place of refuge.

"What do we do about this?" Several old men, looking like beggars, squatted on the street, somewhat troubled as they watched the bustling street in front of them.

"How should I know? It's been over half a year since the Origin descended, and that kid Chen Heng still hasn't returned. We can't just wander off either."

"What if that kid comes back one day and can't find us?"

Qi Longhu rolled his eyes. He hadn't eaten or bathed in a month.

Just a casual rub on his body could produce enough grime to form a small pellet.

Don't look at them being Acquired Martial Artists and possessing the Divine Power Chen Heng gave them; these people were still mortal flesh and blood, naturally having their own metabolism.

Moreover, the metabolism of a Martial Artist was particularly fast, so there was no good way to avoid becoming like this.

"I really envy those Dao cultivators. Look, there isn't a single speck of dirt on them."

Xu Lieying pointed to the Xuan Alliance members in the distance; each of them was as clean as new.

"They did offer to help you clean up, but you refused, didn't you?"

Qi Longhu sneered. For Martial Artists like them, that method of cleansing used by Dao cultivators was truly less comfortable than just being dirty.

"Alright, what's the point of talking about this? It's better to just hope that kid Chen Heng comes back soon."

Xu Lieying shook his head and sighed.

Chen Heng hadn't made a move in over half a year. Those who didn't know might even think that kid was dead.

"Things will probably get better when Chen Heng returns. Doesn't that kid travel between the past and the future? This current state is probably the future."

"By then, with his ability, he'll definitely be able to let us live out our golden years comfortably."

Xu Lieying now yearned for Chen Heng's return more than anything.

Not only because they would be able to have a good meal once Chen Heng returned, but also because it would alleviate the guilt in their hearts.

Although they knew Chen Heng's strength was far above theirs, it still felt a bit wrong to let a seventeen-year-old child save them.

"Live out our golden years?"

"You?"

Qi Longhu chuckled. After Chen Heng returned, he didn't plan on just staying put obediently.

"Have you forgotten what that Old Woman Yi Rui said?"

"In that... Universe, there are other places similar to ours... spheres?"

"Anyway, it's something like that."

"That kid Chen Heng definitely won't be idle when he comes back. I'll follow him then to expand our territory."

"One of my biggest wishes in this life is to expand territory."

"With my relationship with Chen Heng, the least that kid could do is make me a general of one of those... spheres, right?"

"Isn't that much more satisfying than living out my golden years?"

Xu Lieying looked Qi Longhu up and down, who was indistinguishable from an old beggar, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Just forget it. With your character, a general of a sphere? An old scoundrel is more like it."

"Damn it! You old featherless bird, do you think I haven't beaten you recently, and your skin is itching?"

Hearing this, Qi Longhu immediately stood up and grabbed Xu Lieying's collar.

"Stop pulling, my tattered clothes can't withstand your..."

Before Xu Lieying could finish speaking, the front of his shirt was torn open by Qi Longhu, revealing a cleavage.

A pair of strong pectoral muscles were exposed, with chest hair dancing in the wind.

... Qi Longhu.

... Xu Lieying.

"You old bastard!"

...Meanwhile, directly opposite this pair of old living treasures, Yi Rui was talking to Bai Jun on a communicator.

"I received a message from number eight. They'll find us in three days at most."

"By then, we can figure out a way to find that kid Chen Heng's whereabouts."

Yi Rui held a communicator wrapped in tape. This device was something Yi Rui had cobbled together after the world-suppressing nail became small.

She and number eight had left a communication code, and number eight had contacted Yi Rui using that code.

"From number eight, I learned that our timeline has successfully merged with the desolate era's timeline."

"Everything we see now is the scenery of the desolate era."

"Unbelievable..." Bai Jun and the others were dumbfounded upon hearing this news.

They had heard before that the desolate era was much more advanced than their current time, but they hadn't expected it to be so powerful.

"There's nothing unbelievable about it. The Chengtian Empire was able to develop into what it was back then by relying on ancient technology."

Yu Jiang walked over at this moment and said to Bai Jun and the others.

"The Chengtian Empire only got some scraps of ancient technology and became a vast Empire."

"You can imagine how powerful the desolate era would be with complete ancient technology."
