Every single planet in the Neptune Starfield was covered by seawater.

From a logical point of view, it was impossible for an ordinary person to reach that place.

Thus, it was unsurprising that Bai Zixuan did not believe it.

Chen Xiaobei chucked. "It's okay if you don't believe it, Your Highness. I will make a trip there soon anyway. You will be the first to know if I find the Emperor! If I don't find him, then just pretend I never said anything."

"Alright! Thank you for going through the trouble, Mr. Chen!" Bai Linsu said earnestly. "I will never forget Mr. Chen's kindness! Even if you do not find the Emperor, Mr. Chen will still be the best friend of Green Hill's Imperial family! You will be rewarded abundantly in the future!"

"You're too kind, Your Highness!" Chen Xiaobei smiled, then he turned Bai Linsu saying, "Sister Bai, I have not yet tended to Atlantis, so I'll go back first! If there are any roadblocks or trouble, just give me a call and I'll come!"

"Alright! I won't keep you! When everything has beem solved and settled, I will thank you properly!" Bai Linsu looked extremely grateful, deciding that Chen Xiaobei was indeed a wonderful friend.

After that, Chen Xiaobei took his leave from the Palace.

Bai Linsu and Bai Zixuan used Wei Zhonglie's impersonator to organize a search for the Emperor.

Many important things were slated to happen in the coming three months!

...

Chen Xiaobei returned to the secret space using the Returning Bracelet so that both the Secret Space and Green Hill Starfield were connected. The next time, he could just use the bracelet to return directly to Green Hill Starfield.

In the secret space.

It was peaceful in Bei Xuan. Nothing dangerous or untoward had happened there while he was gone.

Shen Gongpao did not make any moves either.

Of course, the Bei Xuan faction of today had Xiang Yu, Six-Eared Macaque, Osnur, Blackwater Mystical Snake, and the Three Demonic Beast Kings – a total of seven God-Ascension elites holding the fort.

Shen Gongpao had probably known about this so he temporarily abandoned his plans to send his people there to wreak havoc.

On top of that, sending people down from the heavens without explicit approval was against the heavenly laws which stipulated that the cultivation of those who were sent down must be limited.

Instead of sending people with inadequate cultivation down to die, Shen Gongpao chose to cancel his operation.

Of course, this was not exactly a good thing either.

Every passing day that Shen Gongpao did not make a move, was another day that Bei Xuan faction was stuck in a limbo with this 'knife' hanging above their heads. It would also mean another day that was wasted for Chen Xiaobei not being able to bring the Three Demonic Beast Kings with him.

To a certain extent, this limited Chen Xiaobei's strength.

Of course, Chen Xiaobei was already strong enough to protect himself and leaving the Demonic Beasts in the secret space to protect his friends and family was the best choice.

Buzz…

Chen Xiaobei had only just arrived when the portal suddenly opened.

Two people walked out the door. They were Jing Fei and Jiang Ziya.

On Earth, there were no longer any threats to Chen Xiaobei. Japan was now simply be left under the care of Nikkawa Uchu, which had enabled Jiang Ziya to come back to the secret space to help Chen Xiaobei.

"Old Jiang! It's been a while! Has your front teeth grown out yet?" Chen Xiaobei teased.

"What nonsense! How could my teeth still grow at this age? Look closely, this is the most advanced tooth implant!" Jiang Ziya smiled, revealing a neat row of pearly white teeth.

"Alright, enough joking around. How has Earth been recently?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"After that incident in the mausoleum, all the top-tier factions have been playing by Chen Xiaobei's rules! So far they've been very quiet and there has been no new movement recently!" Jiang Ziya said. "The Anti-Bei Alliance is still around. It's now led by Kunlun's Zhou Daoxian. They've been meeting frequently but have not done anything so far. I'm pretty sure they are up to no good!"

"Don't worry! They've just a bunch of buffoons!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "I spared their lives in the mausoleum not because I was kind but to set an example to the others, to scare the rest of Earth's Jianghu!"

"Have you taken over South Town Star Temple yet?" Jiang Ziya asked.

"Not yet. But the deadline is in three days. The Northern Starfield Overlord will descend on Earth in person. After that, my rule over South Town Star Temple will be officially finalized!"

Jiang Ziya gasped, "You want to terrify Earth's Jianghu on that day? – to become the master of South Town Star Temple, and the true overlord of Earth's Jianghu?"

"You're right!' Chen Xiaobei nodded confidently.

"Does the Northern Starfield Overlord know about this?" Jiang Ziya asked.

Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and signalled for Wu Guangwen to come over.

"His name is Wu Guangwen. He's the eyes and ears that the Overlord planted. I've given him the dog biscuit so he's now loyal to me!" Chen Xiaobei introduced.

Jiang Ziya asked, "Wu Wenguang, what do you know? Tell me!"

"Yes Sir!" Wu Guangwen nodded. "Yesterday, the Overlord asked me about the portal's repair progress. I told him that there's only one last procedure before completion! And then the Overlord instructed me to invite all the demigods of Earth's Jianghu under his name to attend a party in Atlantis in three days! After getting the master's approval, I did as the Overlord had instructed and sent out the invites. Because I was with Lu Gang the whole time, the demigods have given face to me, and have all sent in their replies by agreeing to show up at the appointed time! That is all I know!"

Once he had finished giving his report, Wu Wenguang excused himself to the side, and said nothing else.

Jiang Ziya thought for a while, "Xiaobei! I don't understand what this Northern Wilderness Overlord is planning to do."

"Who cares?" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "Since he's already set up the stage for me, I will just borrow his stage to perform my own show!"

"Isn't that a little too risky?" Jiang Ziya said cautiously. "We are in the dark of what The Overlord is doing right now. We don't even know what his plans are!"

"Yes, you are right. But I'm even sneakier than him! He doesn't know that I already have two Earth-God instruments!" Chen Xiaobei laughed. "If he dares try anything, I don't mind killing him on Earth! Then Six-Eared Macaque can take his form, and the entire Northern Wilderness will be ours for the taking!"

Jiang Ziya took in a deep breath. "This plan is really huge… I have failed to consider some factions! I'm afraid there will some unknown variables!"

Chen Xiaobei shook his head. "Things are constantly changing. How can we predict everything? I've made a deal with Lady Nuwo to break through to God-Ascension cultivation in three months! I don't have time to waste in the Northern Wilderness! It has to be done! It has to!"
