Chapter 706: Chapter 386: Gathering and Current Strength

One month later.

Universe.

The fiery sphere, emitting an almost infinite amount of light and heat.

Thousands of degrees in high temperature, filling every inch of space in the surroundings.

Chen Sheng just sat there quietly.

Everything around him was unable to affect him in any way.

Instead, his body was more like a black hole.

With a certain specific rhythm.

The light and heat around him.

The ubiquitous cosmic rays.

All were absorbed by Chen Sheng into his body, transforming into energy that propelled his body to become stronger step by step.

From a distance,

it looked as if the planet that had illuminated Blue Star for an unknown amount of time had suddenly darkened a patch.

After a while.

Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

The pitch-black pupils were like the abyss, capable of swallowing everything.

Time and all things,

seemed unable to illuminate this darkness.

“It should be about time now,” he murmured.

He slowly stood up.

Chen Sheng called up the panel again.

[Physical Body: 200 trillion]

Two months had passed since he’d returned from the Spiritual Martial World and successfully created a pocket universe.

Chen Sheng’s attributes increased at a rate of one-tenth per day, and there was still an upward trend.

As of today,

he had reached an extremely terrifying number.

The attributes he gained each day were far more than the total attributes he had when he left the Spiritual Martial World.

What level was he at now?

Chen Sheng didn’t know.

But what he did know was that now he could easily jump from the surface of the Sun to the outside of the Milky Way.

With a casual breath,

he could turn planets tens of times larger than the Sun into dust in an instant.

“Such strength… should be considered Galaxy Level, right?” he thought to himself.

Destroying galaxies.

Wasn’t anything difficult for the current Chen Sheng.

But to destroy the universe, he was still not sure.

However,

Chen Sheng was very satisfied with the rate at which his strength was increasing.

He believed that in another month, or even a year or two,

the Universe Level would be nothing more than a natural progression for him.

By that time,

even the strength he gained every day might be equivalent to a Universe-Level being.

And in the process of gradually stepping into that level,

Chen Sheng only needed to live like an ordinary person, then just wait quietly.

Occasionally, when he needed to clear his mind, he would come to this place near the Sun and sit.

Thanks to his perfect control over his body.

Even if he was incredibly strong,

it would not cause any interference with his daily life.

Thinking of this,

he temporarily put his thoughts aside.

“The time should be just about right now,” he said.

Looking towards the distant Blue Star,

Chen Sheng leaped forth.

His body, capable of destroying heavens and earth, descended towards the distant planet in an understated manner.

——————

An hour later.

Fu Hai Province.

Wutong Village.

Chen Sheng’s normally peaceful home was exceptionally lively today.

Inside the spacious courtyard.

Relatives and friends were scattered about, chatting with familiar faces.

As for Chen Sheng,

he stood in front of the barbecue grill at the corner of the courtyard, earnestly grilling skewers.

He periodically brushed on oil, then sprinkled on spices.

Smoke encircled him.

The aroma of meat filled the courtyard.

The sizzling sound alone was enough to whet one’s appetite.

With such professional posture,

one couldn’t help but wonder what Chen Sheng used to do before.

“Ah Sheng,”

“You’re not working now, why don’t you set up a barbecue stall in the village?”

“With your skills, you could easily make a few tens of thousands a month.”

“Young man, you still have to focus on earning money, you can’t always be idle.”

“Like your Uncle Li’s son…”

An elder, who hadn’t seen Chen Sheng for a long time, approached the grill, first swallowing saliva as he stared at the not yet done skewers, then started chatting with Chen Sheng.

Between the lines,

they were advising Chen Sheng to get a job and settle down early.

Although well-intentioned,

Chen Sheng always let such words go in one ear and out the other.

“Alright, I’ll consider it,” he replied.

“Thank you for your concern, Uncle Li.”

And so,

he continued to respond with a polite smile as always.

But this Uncle Li, the middle-aged man, did not seem to want to give up just yet.

He leaned in again, seemingly about to say something more.

At that moment,

a rebuking voice came from the side.

“Go on, get out of here!”

Chen Sheng’s Second Uncle suddenly appeared from somewhere, his hand waving as he shooed Uncle Li away.

“Running a stall to make money is not as stable as being a civil servant.”

“I have plans for my own nephew, you don’t need to be giving unwarranted advice here.”

Although Second Uncle hadn’t returned to Wutong Village for some time,

as a businessman who had been working outside all year round, and with his son successfully joining the Martial Arts Association,

his prestige in the village was far from low.

Seeing him rebuke,

Uncle Li muttered, seemingly wanting to say something,

but in the end, he shook his head and walked away.

“Uncle’s here,” said Chen Sheng, greeting him with a smile.

The reason he was hosting a barbecue at home today was partially linked to this Second Uncle.

Ever since a casual encounter with Chen Sheng, it seemed that in order to make up for the neglect of the past few years, Second Uncle frequently sent messages to Chen Sheng, concerned about his living conditions and future plans.

And every now and then, he would run to Chen Sheng’s home, one day bringing health supplements, another day furniture.

Even dragging Chen Sheng to social gatherings from time to time.

Over two months,

all the furniture in Chen Sheng’s home had been replaced by Second Uncle with smart home devices.

His proclaimed reason was: to experience the convenience brought by the progress of the era.

Unfortunately,

Chen Sheng was someone who was soft-hearted rather than stubborn.

If provoked, he could easily slap the offender to death.

But for Second Uncle, who genuinely had his best interests at heart,

even if somewhat vexed, Chen Sheng found it difficult to make a retort.
