265: 【Space Master】Ekhaul!

“Eckhart…”

Laji chewed on the name, feeling it was familiar, but he couldn't recall where he heard it.

At this moment, Sabei recovered from his shock and explained to the two.

“Eckhart, the fastest growing and most talented Space Archmage in the God Realm’s history. He achieved Evolution in one year, sublimation in three years, transformation in six years, and became a highly sought-after legendary figure in the God Realm within ten years. He once accomplished the feat of teleporting 300,000 warriors across 50,000 miles in a single go, earning him the title ‘Space Controller’ from the vast God Race. However, he vanished a year ago at the peak of his fame and status, causing quite a stir.”

Sabei took a deep breath, his eyes a little complex.

“I never expected you to join the True Sight Sect…”

After hearing the explanation, Laji finally remembered.

Ten years ago, when he left the God Realm, he had heard this name while passing through a city. At that time, it was widely discussed and a popular topic.

He had sighed then, lamenting that while the God Realm produced many talented individuals, they could not comprehend the suffering of the Human Realm, and were thus destined to face the backlash of their arrogant culture.

He had left the God Realm with a sense of pessimism, never expecting such a connection today.

“Those are just empty titles. In the face of the world’s truth, they are meaningless… Uh, by the way, can you please take the sword away? This thing is quite hot…”

Sweat dripped from Eckhart’s forehead, and he bared his white teeth, forcing a smile.

Chen Beixuan’s face showed curiosity, and with a thought, the God Demon Sword vanished into thin air.

The truth of the world…

Something that could make a genius willingly abandon everything and become a ‘traitor’ in the God Realm’s eyes, he was starting to get interested…

“Thank you.” Eckhart rubbed his reddened neck and chin, grimacing.

“Tell us, why did you save us?”

Chen Beixuan put on his smiling mask again and asked, his tone much more normal this time.

The other two also stared at him, equally puzzled.

Eckhart was silent for a moment, seemingly considering whether to speak. After pondering for a while, he decided to open his mouth.

“Our True Sight Sect planned to raid and destroy the Seven-Colored Divine Bridge today to block the gate between the two realms. Just as we were about to act, you beat us to it.”

“As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I saw that the three of you were willing to risk your lives to destroy the Divine Bridge, deeply entrenched in enemy territory, and I felt admiration, which is why I intervened to save you.”

Seeing that Chen Beixuan and the others’ expressions hadn’t changed, he changed the subject and laughed heartily,

“Of course, if the three of you are willing to join the True Sight Sect, that would be even better, a double blessing!”

The three of them relaxed slightly upon hearing this. That made sense.

The logic now held up.

“Speaking of which, you guys are really lucky you didn’t encounter Dorian, the Seven-Colored City Lord. That guy’s Ice Crystal Magic Sword is quite troublesome. If he had been there, I probably would have had to reconsider whether or not to save you…”

Eckhart turned around, looking at the sea, and said with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Laji and Sabei exchanged glances, wanting to laugh, but held it in.

Chen Beixuan also chuckled.

He was now certain that this guy hadn’t watched the entire situation unfold; he likely arrived halfway through, so his information was incomplete.

Eckhart acted profound, looking out at the sea and waiting.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement behind him, and he couldn’t help but turn back in confusion.

“You guys…”

Looking at the three people’s half-smiling expressions, he seemed to realize something, his eyes widening in disbelief.

“Wait, don’t tell me… you met Dorian?!”

“More than just met, Dorian is already buried forever in the canyon with the Divine Bridge.” Sabei patted his belly and laughed heartily.

“No, you were able to kill Dorian???”

Eckhart’s voice rose, again shocked!

“Of course, not only killed, but also…”

“Hey! That’s enough.”

Chen Beixuan was starting to feel embarrassed listening to it, and quickly interrupted Sabei’s speech.

Couldn’t he wait until he left to praise him?

He had no sense of discretion at all, and his personality really couldn’t hide anything.

Sabei was uncomfortable with his words cut short, but after these two incidents, he was utterly impressed with Old Man Chen. Even if it was uncomfortable, he had to hold it in.

Eckhart was stunned for a long time before finally believing this fact.

But then he reacted.

They had the ability to kill Dorian, so they didn’t need him to save them at all!

No wonder they, who were clearly the ones rescued, not only didn’t express gratitude but instead questioned the rescuer’s intentions.

It turned out they didn’t need his help in the first place!

Eckhart’s face looked as if he had swallowed a fly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Recalling his passionate speech just now, he felt so ashamed he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Chen Beixuan saw his embarrassment, smiled, and changed the subject.

“Since you’re here, why don’t you tell me what this so-called truth of the world is? I’m quite interested in that.”

Laji and Sabei were also full of curiosity, perking up their ears to listen.

The topic was successfully shifted, and Eckhart’s expression became much more natural. He let out a slight sigh of relief and said,

“This isn’t the place to talk. Follow me first.”

The three followed him to the shore, boarded a wooden boat, and used water magic to sail towards the depths of the sea.

“These past years, the World God has always wanted to eliminate our True Sight Sect. Only the inherent rules of the God Spirit Sea can prevent the World God from detecting us, so we have always hidden here and rarely go out.”

“The God Spirit Sea is vast enough, containing countless independent spaces, which are conducive to hidden living. Flying and teleportation are impossible on the sea surface; one can only travel by boat. The God Race of the Ignorant Faction has come countless times, but they still cannot eradicate us, nor can they even find our hiding place.”

Upon hearing this, Laji’s heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but ask,

“Then aren’t you afraid we’re spies sent by the World God? Bringing us over, isn’t that exposing yourselves?”

Eckhart heard this and smiled confidently.

“I believe that once you know the truth of the world, you will definitely not betray us; instead, you will join us.”

“Of course, even if something goes wrong in the end, I have ten… uh, ninety percent certainty of keeping you here, trapping you forever in one place.”

He originally wanted to say ten percent, but then he suddenly recalled the strange situation on the Seven-Colored Divine Bridge, so he changed it to ninety percent, giving himself some leeway.

Strange, too strange.

He had never encountered such a situation!

Eckhart was lost in chaotic memories, but Chen Beixuan and the others were even more curious.

What kind of truth could make the other party so confident?

As for the subsequent warning, they ignored it.

Laji and Sabei’s thoughts were simple.

Are you kidding me?

Killing the City Lord with one lightning strike, do you think we’re messing around with you?

Compared to the legendary ‘Space Controller’, they trusted Chen Lao, whom they had witnessed with their own eyes, more.

If you don’t believe it, come and try.

Let’s see if lightning is faster, or teleportation.

The journey was silent. The wooden boat arrived at a solitary island in the sea, and they stepped ashore.

Eckhart secured the boat, then led them to a teleportation array at the center of the island.

With a flash of white light, the four disappeared from their original spot…
