1335: New goals

Boom!

Wang Chen watched Chen Tong and Li Hao turn to flee, and with a casual wave of his hand, vast power surged forth, instantly descending upon them.

Hum, hum, hum!!

At this moment, the Void Realm solidified, and time and space came to a standstill. Li Hao and Chen Tong were like insects trapped in amber, unable to move at all.

"If you want to escape in front of me, you two are still not quite there yet!"

Taking a step, he arrived before the two of them. Wang Chen sneered, and before the Divine Ascension Light could continue to strengthen its pulling force, he struck out two Marks of Enslavement in quick succession.

Hum, hum, hum!

As the two marks merged into their foreheads, the expressions of panic and terror on their faces instantly dissipated.

"Greetings, Master!"

The next second, Chen Tong and Li Hao knelt before Wang Chen, their expressions pious and respectful, as if worshipping a deity.

With Wang Chen's current strength, when he used the Mark of Enslavement, even a Thirteen-Order Peak could not resist it.

Furthermore, there was no longer a limit to the range of the Mark of Enslavement. Even across infinite distances, separated by the Upper Realm and Lower Realm, loyalty would be deeply engraved in the heart of the target upon whom the Mark of Enslavement was planted.

"Tell me everything you know."

Having dealt with the two, Wang Chen immediately exited his secret technique state to prevent being forcibly taken to the Upper Realm by the Divine Ascension Light if he remained in this state for too long.

"Yes..."

Chen Tong and Li Hao, as if hearing a divine decree, hurriedly spoke of everything they knew.

Soon, Wang Chen obtained a lot of information from these two guys that he had not known before.

This included the Reapers' arrangements in the Lower Realm Universe, the exact locations of the remaining monsters, and... information regarding Ascension.

Ascenders from the Lower Realm Universe to the Upper Realm would randomly appear on the Ascension Platforms that had existed in the Upper Realm since ancient times; the locations were not fixed.

It was possible they might appear on the main Life stars of major super forces, or they might appear on some desolate, godforsaken dead planet.

This was because not all Ascension Platforms were under the control of various forces.

Of course, this was a somewhat metaphysical issue; exactly how it worked could not be changed by human effort.

Wang Chen did not pay excessive attention or worry about this.

He had always felt his luck was pretty good.

Instead... what was more worthy of his attention was the future fate of this Lower Realm Universe.

Among all the Lower Realm Universes controlled by the Reapers, the one where Wang Chen was located was designated as F-9527.

According to Chen Tong and Li Hao, the Reapers had basically lost interest in the research on the War Mother Nest. If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them, who remained here, would be the last batch of personnel following up on this research.

Afterwards, the Lower Realm Universe numbered F-9527 would either be sealed up and left for the monsters to fend for themselves, or it would be packaged up to find someone interested in taking over, and sold off.

This made Wang Chen see an opportunity.

Originally, according to his previous thoughts, he would take Blue Star with him to the Upper Realm during his Ascension.

But this would present a problem: Blue Star would not be able to adapt to the environment of the Upper Realm at all. It could only be refined into a part of his spatial ring to ascend together, binding it completely to him, and everyone on Blue Star would only be able to live inside the spatial ring thereafter.

In this way, it was equivalent to placing Blue Star in a cage, and a cage that could never be escaped. Although this cage was very, very large, it completely cut off the possibility of further development.

Blue Star contained Wang Chen's parents, friends, and relatives... Deep down, he was unwilling to do that.

Now that he heard the Reapers might intend to sell this Lower Realm Universe, Wang Chen felt he could change his approach.

He would obtain the ownership of this Lower Realm Universe numbered F-9527 for himself.

The Reapers were second only to several major super forces in the Upper Realm, and their strength was unimaginably powerful. Figures like Chen Tong and Li Hao, who were considered top-tier in the Lower Realm Universe, were nothing more than small fries in the Upper Realm.

Facing such a large force, wanting to obtain ownership of the F-9527 Lower Realm Universe, seizing it was impossible; Wang Chen was not that reckless. However... buying it shouldn't be difficult, right?

Wang Chen thought to himself, and gradually made a decision.

In this way, these two guys, Chen Tong and Li Hao, could not be killed.

Once he wiped out the Demon Calamity, he would leave some monsters and War Mother Nests to farm, and let these two guys continue to pass false information to the Reapers to maintain the current situation and buy time.

Moreover, having these two guys as insiders would make it more convenient to contact the Reapers when the time came.

The only thing was that there was only one position left for the Mark of Enslavement.

After all, since Chen Tong and Li Hao were both staying, Wang Chen did not intend to deal with the Devouring Sun Demon God King either.

It just so happened that it had not been long since it arrived in the Lower Realm Universe, so sending it to Blue Star to protect his parents was a good choice.

Thinking of this, Wang Chen waved his hand to let Chen Tong and Li Hao stand up:

"You two return to your base and continue reporting news upwards as you did before. The vast Void Realm is enough for you to cultivate another batch of War Mother Nests and monsters."

The time flow in the Upper Realm was different from the Lower Realm. Wang Chen was not sure how much time it would take him to succeed in buying the F-9527 Lower Realm Universe, so he planned to farm the War Mother Nests and monsters, just as Blue Star was doing now.

For one thing, this could be used to deal with the Reapers, and for another, it could also leave a path of upward advancement for the professionals on Blue Star.

"Yes!"

Li Hao and Chen Tong respectfully accepted the order upon hearing this, and both turned into streams of light, returning to their previous base.

After they left, Wang Chen did not return to the Eastern Domain but instead traversed the endless Void Realm directly, heading towards the other three monster base camps.

...Time passed, and fifteen days flew by in a flash.

On this day, in the dark Void Realm outside the Yaoguang Main Realm, Wang Chen flew rapidly, wrapped in brilliant divine light.

Behind him, more than a dozen streams of light of different colors followed closely.

Within each stream of light was a Thirteen-Order powerhouse standing at the Peak of the Lower Realm Universe.

Since the Demon Calamity in the Eastern Domain was quelled, Wang Chen had successively wiped out the Demon Calamity's base camps in the Southern Domain where the Demon God Realm was located, and the Western Domain where the Purgatory Realm was located.

Now, the Demon Calamity base camp in the Northern Domain, where the Yaoguang Main Realm was located, was the last place of unrest in the Lower Realm Universe.

"Everyone, following to this point is enough. If you continue forward and get caught in the crossfire, I will not lift a finger to save you."

When a large number of monsters, Demon Gods, and even Demon God Kings appeared in his field of vision, Wang Chen reminded the people behind him to stop.

When cleaning up the Demon Calamity in the Southern Domain and Western Domain, he incidentally purged the forces associated with the Upper Realm Observers.

Now, these Thirteen-Order powerhouses following him were basically the only ones left in the Lower Realm Universe.

And each one, although they had not been implanted with the Mark of Enslavement, almost worshipped him like a god.

Upon hearing his reminder, they stopped one after another, respectfully watching him continue forward.
