Chapter 654: Chapter 365: Who is the Protagonist After All?

Kyoto.

Archive room.

Chen Sheng’s eyes slowly opened.

He wasn’t angry.

Even after talking, Chen Sheng had discovered that Lu Yang never intended to save him.

But Chen Sheng,

Never put his hopes on others.

He was already prepared for the current situation.

Similarly,

He didn’t have any fear about the imminent arrival of the Familiars.

Because Chen Sheng knew.

In the face of adversity, the only way out is to enhance one’s strength and break through with a single punch.

As for what happens after breaking through,

That can wait.

He was just as calm as usual.

Continuing to observe the Supreme Heart Yang Technique in his hand.

After finishing one book,

He started to turn to the next one.

All the breathing techniques, secret arts, and cultivation-related books collected by the Martial Arts Association were constantly filling the gaps in Chen Sheng’s theoretical knowledge as he continued to study and test them.

Chen Sheng,

Was undergoing a quiet transformation.

From a user of strength.

To a creator of strength.

Like this.

Time,

Slipped away in silence.

——————

Familiar Outpost,

Apocalypse Star.

In front of the Inverted Divine Tree.

A tall figure walked slowly.

Dressed in black armor,

Seamlessly covering his body, making it hard to see his true face.

On the surface of the armor, one could faintly see the coagulated blood scabs.

As he walked, a strong stench of blood lingered around him.

Behind him.

Followed nine Familiars of various appearances.

Ten members in total.

They were the standard configuration for a Familiar squad.

However,

Compared to the tall figure leading the way,

The Familiars behind him looked somewhat weak and exhausted.

Their armor was damaged in many places.

As if they had just experienced a difficult battle.

“Heavenly Person, you didn’t have to rush to turn in the task…”

At this moment,

An Octopus Head Familiar hastened his pace, came to the back of the tall figure, and whispered.

“Even if we don’t do the task, someone else will.”

“Life is so long, why the hurry?”

As he spoke,

Octopus Head’s round eyes stared intently at the back of the tall figure, his voice sounding a little nervous.

Of course, he was nervous.

The tall figure in front of him,

Had just killed their team leader in the mission a day ago, sending him back to the Reincarnation Pool.

The reason was,

Merely because the leader’s attitude towards him was a bit disdainful.

But that wasn’t the point.

Familiars wouldn’t die anyway.

Arguing among themselves, fighting each other,

As long as it wasn’t done in front of the outpost or headquarters, no one would care.

What Octopus Head was afraid of,

Was the strength of this tall figure.

You should know that their team leader was a strong man who was close to breaking through to the next level and whose life essence was about to transform.

He was quite famous in the entire outpost.

But the tall figure defeated him in less than a round, cleanly killing him.

Then,

The tall figure led them to break through the heavily guarded mission universe.

Finishing a task that should have taken at least a week, in just one day.

Who this tall figure was and where he came from,

Octopus Head didn’t know.

The only information he knew,

Was that the tall humanoid was a Wanderling Familiar who had been assigned to their team by the system just one day ago and called himself Heavenly Person.

Such a strange name.

It was more like a title than a name.

But that didn’t prevent him from being extremely cautious when talking to this so-called king.

After all,

Nobody wanted to take an unnecessary trip to the Reincarnation Pool.

Even if they could be resurrected indefinitely,

It was better to avoid the pain of recreating one’s body if possible.

Step.

At this moment,

Just as Octopus Head was speaking,

The tall figure stopped.

With his helmet on, he slowly turned his head and looked at the team members behind him.

Under his gaze,

Octopus Head felt goosebumps erupting all over his body.

“Actually, I don’t care.”

“It’s mainly them.”

He quickly backed away.

His face full of tentacles tried hard to look disinterested.

A perfect representation of adapting to the moment and acting according to the situation.

“You—”‘

This action,

Also provoked anger in the other Familiars.

However, due to the cold gaze of the Heavenly Person, no one dared to make a move.

But,

What the Heavenly Person said next caught them off guard.

“I didn’t ask you to follow.”

“Do as you please. It has nothing to do with me.”

Hearing this,

The Familiars rejoiced.

Great!

The reason they followed Heavenly Person was that he simply walked towards the Divine Tree without saying a word upon returning to the Apocalypse Star.

They followed,

Purely out of instinct they felt from the pressure of his presence.

At the end of the day,

They’d rather rest for ten days or half a month, then pick up a simple world mission when the rest period was over.

Slacking off,

Is common among intelligent beings.

For long-lived Familiars, even more so.

Moreover,

The political hall inside the Divine Tree was not a place to loiter around casually.

You either had to report something to the upper levels or receive a new task assignment.

If they went there but didn’t have something significant to do, they would either be thrown out of the Divine Tree after being punished or be assigned a task forcefully.

Neither option appealed to them.

Now,

Hearing that the Heavenly Person didn’t care about them,

“Thanks, man!”

“Next time we’ll treat you to our hometown special drink!”

They said their goodbyes and ran off quickly.

As for Octopus Head?

He didn’t want to lag behind either.

He almost started running the moment the Heavenly Person was halfway done talking, ready to leave without any hesitation.

If only they weren’t inside Apocalypse Star, where the use of power was prohibited.
