29: Chapter 29 News of Death, Celestial Calamity

The Chen Family is a newly emerged deity family, founded by Chen Mo's grandfather, Chen Bailou.

For the development of the Family, Chen Bailou passed the position of Family Head to the most meticulous Chen Xueli early on, while he himself spent the year round stationed outside the domain, specifically in that small plane belonging to the Chen Family.

Chen Mo's second uncle, Chen Xueyi, also followed Chen Mo's grandfather to guard the area outside the domain year-round.

Chen Xueyi is also the person in the entire Chen Family currently with the most hope of ascending to become a True God.

If he could successfully ascend, the Chen Family would possess two True Gods, completely stabilizing the Family's Foundation.

"I hope nothing happened to Grandfather and Second Uncle..."

As he walked, Chen Mo secretly prayed.

When he arrived at the meeting place, the heavy stone in his heart was lifted by half.

There were only about a dozen people in the courtyard, all direct descendants of the Chen Family, that is, the descendants of Chen Mo's grandfather, Chen Bailou.

At this moment, Third Uncle Chen Xueli stood in the very center of the crowd, and beside him was a middle-aged man of similar age.

This person was none other than Second Uncle Chen Xueyi.

As for Little Aunt Chen Lan, she stood at the edge of the crowd, and the moment she saw Chen Mo and Chen Xiaoshan, she hurriedly pulled them over and signaled them not to speak.

They waited for nearly another quarter of an hour until the last direct descendant of the Chen Family entered the courtyard, and the leader, Chen Xueli, spoke slowly, his voice filled with a hint of sorrow.

"Chen Xu is gone!"

The moment he heard this sentence, it was as if thunder had struck Chen Mo's ears.

He had thought of countless possibilities, but he had never thought it would be this.

Chen Xu!

One of Chen Mo's three cousins, the son of Chen Xueyi, and the only direct descendant of the Chen Family to join the military.

The age gap between him and Chen Mo was quite large.

When Chen Mo was born, which was the year of his Transmigration, this person was already a company commander in one of the Federation's extra-domain legions.

He returned home very rarely, so Chen Mo did not have a deep impression of him.

But he knew very well the status of Chen Xu in the Chen Family; if Chen Xueyi was the second pillar of the Family who could potentially become a True God, then Chen Xu was the third.

Now... he was gone!

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but secretly look at his second uncle beside Chen Xueli.

This middle-aged man, who had always appeared incomparably majestic, looked significantly older at this moment, giving one the feeling that there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

"This is not good!"

Chen Mo's heart grew even colder.

Chen Xueyi had long been a Nine-Transition Demigod; as long as he completed the final accumulation, there was a possibility of ascending.

But given Chen Xueyi's current state, ascending was no different from suicide.

The Divine Dao Heart-Questioning Barrier!

The final hurdle before becoming a True God, and also the most difficult one.

Although Chen Mo had achieved True God status in his previous life, he had relied on the help of the System to endure the Divine Dao Heart-Questioning.

But in reality, except for players, out of ten Nine-Transition Demigods with the potential to ascend, it was already very good if two succeeded.

The path of a deity is also a path of no return!

Who knows how many Nine-Transition Demigods dared not attempt the final step, until their ten thousand years of Lifespan were exhausted and they turned into Withered Bones.

"The Federation's compensation notice hasn't come down yet."

Chen Xueyi finally spoke, and there seemed to be a glimmer of hope remaining in his bloodshot eyes.

"In today's Federation news, the Abyss alien gods have united with the Zerg race to launch a large-scale offensive against the Sixth Star Sector. More than 30 of the Federation's large legions participated in this battle, successfully repelling the invading enemy with thunderous means."

"In this battle, our army beheaded one alien Main God and over a hundred alien True Gods. Cheers to the Federation, cheers to the Human Race!"

In Chen Mo's living room, watching the news images projected by Yu Mo, Chen Mo remained silent for a very, very long time.

Reporting the good news but not the bad—a common tactic of the Federation.

But in fact, not only did the alien race suffer heavy losses in this battle, but the Federation's losses were equally huge.

"Master, hasn't the compensation notice been issued yet? Perhaps there is still..."

Yu Mo hadn't finished her words of comfort before Chen Mo raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Although I also really want my cousin to be safe and sound, but..."

Chen Mo let out a long sigh.

He knew the horror of civilization wars better than anyone in the Chen Family; this was just an excuse for Chen Xueyi to be unable to accept the facts.

And compared to Chen Xu's Death, Chen Mo was actually more concerned about the war itself.

"The most critical node in the internal beta footage of my previous life was the sudden alliance between the Abyss and the Zerg; this time might be the omen of that catastrophe."

Chen Mo looked out the window. The starry sky of the Main World was vast, and every star that could appear in the sky was territory conquered by the Federation.

"The sky is going to change!"

Chen Mo thought secretly, his gaze involuntarily looking at the clock by the bed.

Federation Era 7th Epoch: May 3rd, 6980.

"At most, there are ten years left!"

A strong sense of urgency suddenly arose in Chen Mo. Chen Xu's Death and this alliance between the Abyss and the Zerg had sounded an alarm for him.

As for what kind of alarm it was.

'Immortal Calamity'.

A terrifying existence that spanned the internal beta, public beta, and even the Chaos version.

It was its appearance that caused the Zerg and the Abyss to have to unite.

It was also its appearance that caused the Federation to lose vast territories and several Supreme Beings to fall.

"It seems the Abyss and the Zerg have also discovered the existence of 'It'; this alliance is a test for us."

In a vast sea of stars, two figures, one purple and one blue, sat cross-legged opposite each other.

"They are afraid! But I am not." The purple shadow sneered.

"We must also prepare early. According to the intelligence sent back from the Lighthouse, the number of the opponent's Supreme Beings is not weaker than ours, and perhaps even..." The blue shadow sighed, a touch of gravity flashing in his eyes.

"Let them come!" The purple shadow stood up. In an instant, the entire starry sky seemed to be responding to him, just as living beings respond to their gods.

"'Xuan', you must also think of the people below."

The blue shadow also stood up, but the starry sky here did not give him any response; after all, he was not the master of this Supreme God Kingdom.

"Then I will go!"

The emotionless voice sounded again. The next second, endless starlight surged toward his body, and before long, it formed an inter-domain gate in front of him capable of crossing the river of time.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Worthy! Fellow Daoist, you... have crossed the line!"

"Fellow Daoist? Heh, I am no Fellow Daoist."

Xuan sneered, and the next instant he had already arrived beside that inter-domain gate, pulling a figure out as if scooping the moon from a well.

This was a white-bearded old Daoist, with the bearing of an immortal, possessing pressure no weaker than a Main God.

"Second Transition Golden Immortal, you'll do!"

After saying this, Xuan used some unknown secret technique to instantly occupy this person's body, and then threw him into the gate.

The starlight extinguished, and the inter-domain gate also dissipated in an instant.

"Are you sure about this?"

The blue shadow asked in a deep voice.

"If I were to go directly, even I could not withstand the suppression of a top-tier plane, but if there is a carrier..."

Xuan smiled coldly: "Find me first if you can."

After speaking, Xuan's figure slowly dissipated, leaving only the blue shadow shaking his head incessantly.
