391: Chapter 391 Return to Earth for Deployment, Journey to the Abyss of the Old Gods

When Lu Sheng returned to Dengxian Island, Dao Yi and Li Xiaoyao were already waiting on the plaza.

A group of Spirit Emperor Realm Cultivators stood nearby as well, not daring to approach from a distance.

Seeing Lu Sheng descend, Dao Yi immediately trotted over.

"Master! How is the situation? Those people—"

"I let them go."

Dao Yi almost choked on his breath.

"You... you let them go?" He stared wide-eyed. "Master, why did you let them go? Those were people from the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court!"

Lu Sheng glanced at him. "Do you think I should have killed them?"

Dao Yi opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Although his brain wasn't as sharp as his Master's, he wasn't a fool. A bit of careful thought made it clear—if they were killed, the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court wouldn't know the situation here and might send a large army directly, leading to a head-on collision.

By letting them go, they could report back that 'there's a powerhouse in the Spirit Saint Realm here.' The Myriad Manifestations Divine Court would be somewhat wary and wouldn't act rashly.

"Master is wise," Dao Yi said sincerely.

Lu Sheng didn't bother wasting words with him and went straight into the command room.

"Luo Tianfei."

"Present."

"That scouting team has withdrawn. There are several things that need to be arranged immediately."

Lu Sheng sat in the main seat and counted on his fingers. "First, continue to reinforce Earth's defenses. The coverage of the Ancient Metal Armor must reach one hundred percent within two months. Not an inch should be exposed."

"Second, double the number of those twelve anti-rule batteries. Deploy a few more in the weak areas above the South Pole and the Pacific Ocean."

"Third, the training of Cultivators cannot stop. While I am away, you will preside over the training. Use the Spirit Saint Realm Rule Compression Method I taught you to simulate a high-pressure environment for them to adapt to."

Luo Tianfei recorded everything one by one.

"Fourth—"

Lu Sheng paused for a moment.

"I need to make a trip to the Old God Abyss."

Hearing this, Dao Yi's expression changed. "Master, you're leaving Earth at this time? What if the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court—"

"I already said, they won't come in the short term," Lu Sheng interrupted him. "The scouting team goes back to report, the higher-ups analyze intelligence, hold meetings for discussion, make decisions, and then send people—this whole process will take at least three months."

"Three months is enough for me to go to the Old God Abyss and have a big feast."

Dao Yi didn't dare speak further.

Lu Sheng stood up. "After I leave, all affairs on Earth will be handled by Luo Tianfei. Dao Yi, you assist her. Li Xiaoyao, you are responsible for the daily training and assessment of the Cultivator Camp."

"Yes!" the three of them responded in unison.

Lu Sheng did not delay.

That very night, he set out from Dengxian Island.

This time, he didn't fly that broken battleship.

The Space Law of the Spirit Saint Realm allowed him to travel freely through the Universe alone, at a speed faster than any spaceship.

He tore through space directly and plunged into a folded passage.

Endless bands of light surrounded him.

Lu Sheng closed his eyes, advancing rapidly through the passage. His mind was constantly replaying his previous conversation with Li Xuan.

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate, suspected to be in the Spirit Immortal Realm.

Two Protectors at the Middle Stage of the Spirit Saint Realm.

One Elder at the Early Stage of the Spirit Saint Realm.

This lineup was at least one level higher than the Scavenger Alliance.

He was currently at the Early Stage of the Spirit Saint Realm. If he didn't continue to increase his strength, his situation would be very passive when facing the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate in the future.

"That stellar remains in the Old God Abyss is the highest quality ingredient I can find at the moment."

Lu Sheng licked his lips.

Last time, he drank Primal Gold Water at the edge of the remains' wound for three days, directly making a Breakthrough from the Peak Spirit Venerable Realm to the Early Stage Spirit Saint Realm.

If he could eat more of the core Origin this time...

"Middle Stage Spirit Saint Realm, or even Peak Spirit Saint Realm, is not impossible."

Lu Sheng's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Old God Abyss. Here he comes.

Nineteen days later.

The Warship Graveyard on the outskirts of the Old God Abyss.

Lu Sheng stepped out of a space crack, looking at the familiar pitch-black space and the sky-blotting ancient wreckage before him.

When he came last time, he moved many of the outer wrecks back to Earth. But this battlefield was simply too vast; the remaining pieces were still countless.

He didn't stop at the periphery and flew directly toward the deepest part.

The Forest of Laws. The spherical space. That stellar-sized remains.

These landmarks were already etched into his mind.

Coming back this time, he clearly felt much more relaxed.

Last time he passed through those Law threads, he almost lost his life. He ate them one by one, taking six days to eat his way through.

But now he was in the Spirit Saint Realm.

Those Law threads couldn't cause any damage at all when they touched his Small World Domain. Before his rules, the lethality of the threads was directly negated, turning into harmless light effects.

Lu Sheng passed through the membrane of the spherical space without hindrance and arrived before the remains.

The stellar-sized humanoid remains still sat cross-legged in the Void Realm. The dark gold armor was tattered, and in the piercing wound on its chest, half a broken black spear was still embedded.

And at the edge of the wound, a new layer of pale golden Origin Liquid had seeped out.

Lu Sheng's mouth curled into a grin.

"It's saved up quite a bit again. As expected of a super-rich guy, the fat on its body can't be squeezed dry no matter how hard you try."

He flew directly to the edge of the wound, found the spot where he had crouched last time, and sat down.

He pressed both hands against the edge of the wound.

"heaven swallowing furnace, dinner time!"

The ash-gray phantom of the giant furnace roared into existence.

The pale golden Origin Liquid once again surged into Lu Sheng's body like a tsunami.

He was all too familiar with this feeling.

It was a hundred times more satisfying than eating any High-Dimensional Origin Crystals.

Every drop of Origin Liquid entering his body would directly wash through his Small World. Under the nourishment of the Origin, the five Laws grew rapidly, and the boundaries of the Small World expanded steadily.

"Take it slow. No rush. This time, I'm going to eat everything edible completely clean."

Lu Sheng closed his eyes and entered a state of deep devouring.

Time had no meaning in the Old God Abyss.

One day, three days, seven days...

Like a leech parasitic on a giant beast, Lu Sheng clung tightly to the wound of the remains, tirelessly absorbing the Origin.
