“This is not your fault!”
After hearing the mountain puppet's words, Victor immediately spoke up. Then, Black Cat squinted, deeply contemplating everything he had just heard. After a moment, Victor suddenly stood up and looked at the mountain puppet.
“How's the seal at the earth's core origin?”
“Um...”
The mountain puppet was taken aback for a moment before shaking its head.
“There’s no problem there. The soul puppets stationed there have been in constant contact with me. I can assure you, the celestial god has definitely not been rescued!”
The disappearance of the heaven's chosen level soul puppet made Victor lean towards the idea that it had been reallocated rather than forcibly eliminated. There were only four people in the world who possessed the soul creation technique: the demon lord, the spirit of the demon lord, Wen Yu, and that celestial god who was sealed in the earth's core origin...
Upon hearing about the disappearance of the heaven's chosen level soul puppet, Victor immediately thought of the celestial god. But looking at the mountain puppet's expression, it was clear that there was no issue at the earth's core origin...
Could it be the spirit of the demon lord?
Victor thought for a moment, feeling that it was a possibility, but he couldn't rule out the chance of the celestial god escaping...
After all, in five thousand years, one can always find a way to rescue the celestial god without disturbing the soul puppets outside the earth's core origin.
After a moment, Victor finally exhaled a breath of stale air and looked at the mountain puppet.
“Is there anything else? Any other information?”
The mountain puppet gently shook its head.
“No, there’s nothing... Actually, overall, since you all left, there hasn't been any significant events in this world... but...”
At this point, the mountain puppet looked at Victor.
“Victor, I have a feeling that something has gone wrong.”
“I feel the same way...”
Victor squinted, speaking lightly, while a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Should he go to Beijing for a look?
That was impossible...
Victor immediately dismissed that thought.
As the source of all events, Beijing was undoubtedly a den of dragons and tigers. Stepping in without clear understanding could likely bury him.
Should he just wait... for things to develop further?
Hmm, thinking like that, it seemed that this option wasn't too bad... After all, Victor felt that when the big boss returned, all problems would surely be resolved! If even the big boss couldn’t solve it upon returning, then Victor thinking aimlessly here wouldn't do any good. Acting randomly would only lead to an awkward situation similar to "Huluwa saving grandpa."
Oh right, and then there’s Fran...
Thinking of this, Victor suddenly realized.
Fran must know something!
Victor shivered but then lay back down.
Fran was missing...
Where had she gone? No one knew.
Thus, the situation reached a stalemate.
At this moment, Victor felt as if a huge net was enveloping the world, firmly gripping everything in its palm.
...
Before returning to Beijing, Tang Haofei thought he might feel some trepidation about returning home, hesitating to take steps forward.
However, when he actually arrived, Tang Haofei found that he felt nothing...
Only a sense of tranquility, a sense of peace.
This was probably the feeling of home.
Like ordinary civilians passing through the city walls, going through security checks, he entered a super prosperous futuristic metropolis!
Countless flying cars filled the sky, crowds flowed back and forth, towering skyscrapers stood in rows, and above was the eternally present Eternal Sky City, with a few artificial suns hanging below, casting the whole Beijing into a bright daylight.
This was the core and pride of humanity, Beijing.
Once Tang Haofei’s Beijing, but now it was clearly not...
Tang Haofei did not have any intention of overshadowing the place—his perception of Beijing was probably not much different from Wen Yu’s.
