“Evacuation has been completely finished, and the Rift Device has been recovered. Wen Yu, while the immortal emperor has not emerged from his seclusion, I think we should leave.”
Hearing Lin Haifeng's words, Wen Yu nodded lightly.
“Where to?”
“Just pick a direction and drift along; maybe we will find another planet suitable for us to live on.”
Life planets are not that easy to find... but the Demon Palace's power is indeed formidable. Even adrift in space, it can sustain itself for a long time.
According to the pre-evaluation, Wen Yu is confident that he can find a habitable life planet before the energy of the Demon Palace runs out.
“Have the soul puppets and the new residents been arranged properly?”
Wen Yu did not delve deeply into this topic; he shifted the conversation to another matter.
“Everything has been arranged… Sigh… Wen Yu, I know you are unwilling, but this is indeed the best opportunity we can find.”
Lin Haifeng, being very perceptive, noticed Wen Yu's change of topic, so he gently comforted him.
“We lost, I admit we lost, but we are not completely defeated. At least, we have saved a large batch of seeds. As long as there are people, isn't anywhere home?”
“Just like I told you before, we left a large batch of seeds on Earth for the immortal emperor. Once he emerges, he will definitely need to deal with matters on Earth first. Taking this opportunity, as long as we run far enough, it is unlikely that the immortal emperor will chase after us.”
Lin Haifeng had said this before—but he did not know about the absolute balance power. However, that does not mean Lin Haifeng’s reasoning was wrong.
With the absolute balance power in hand, Wen Yu definitely has ways to deal with the immortal emperor. However, even Wen Yu has to admit that the immortal emperor has obtained the complete Heavenly Gifted Stone and the seeds from Earth and the new immortal heroic world; he has completed all his goals! The absolute balance power is comparable to a nuclear weapon. Before Wen Yu can assemble a nuclear weapon, the immortal emperor would be foolish to try to eliminate Wen Yu and prevent him from forming this only trump card that poses a threat to him! Yet after Wen Yu assembles the absolute balance power, the situation changes—because the immortal emperor will feel wary.
As long as Wen Yu controls the Demon Palace and flies far away, the immortal emperor will have no chance of continuing the pursuit—because now, chasing would clearly be a thankless task for him.
Wen Yu understands this…
The immortal emperor might also understand…
Although Lin Haifeng does not comprehend, his judgment is not far from the truth.
So... let it be this way...
Deep down, Wen Yu silently reassured himself. With a thought, the control room of the Demon Palace instantly burst into light. At this moment, Wen Yu could feel, as the origin pool exuded magnificent origin power, the massive Demon Palace began to move.
Driven by the origin power, the Demon Palace slowly flew away from Earth, its speed increasing, and the entire palace became more and more blurred until it was about to enter the void leap...
Wen Yu, however, slowly spoke.
“Hey…”
“This won't do…”
“Buzz~~~”
The lights in the control room suddenly went out.
The sudden tremor shook the entire Demon Palace, causing the tablet computer that Lin Haifeng was holding to fall to the ground. He looked up at Wen Yu, only to see Wen Yu slowly clenching his fists.
“Wen Yu? Wen Yu! What do you want to do?”
But Wen Yu only silently turned around, crushed the tablet computer underfoot, and walked out of the Demon Palace without looking back!
...
Silence drifted in the void as he gazed at the distant blue planet. It was only when he approached the world lock of Earth that Wen Yu finally stopped.
He just stood there, looking at his home planet, his gaze becoming increasingly distant.
After standing for an unknown amount of time, sounds came from behind.
He noticed Gul holding a tablet computer, with Tang Hao, Lin Que, and others hurriedly catching up to him.
