A night passed without incident. When the sun rose the next day, Wen Yu got out of bed. A servant brought breakfast, and just as he was halfway through his meal, Fran came knocking at the door.
Entering with a smile, Fran teased Wen Yu, “You must have been busy yesterday, huh?”
Wen Yu rolled his eyes. “I told you all to seriously address the corruption in Beijing. What was that nonsense yesterday? Flattery and sycophancy, offering up daughters, and even someone handing out health club membership cards. If it weren't for my strong will, I would have been corrupted by this flashy world long ago…”
While eating, Wen Yu complained, and Fran stood by with a smile, waiting until Wen Yu finished breakfast before discussing serious matters.
“By the way, Lin Tianxue came to see me yesterday.”
“Not surprising.”
Fran remained calm. After all, Beijing was still under Lin Haifeng’s control, and Lin Tianxue was up to something right under his nose—he couldn’t possibly be unaware.
“She asked me to support her son, and I agreed…”
“Ha ha.”
Fran chuckled, his eyes glinting as he looked at Wen Yu.
“Alright! I knew I couldn’t hide it from you old foxes. I did embarrass her, so while the ten thousand races conference hasn’t started yet, I might as well take a trip to Eternal Sky City. I need to reinforce Tang Haofei’s seal.”
Although theoretically, Lin Tianxue had no motivation to awaken Tang Haofei, Wen Yu preferred to be cautious. He didn’t want to, nor would he, act against Lin Tianxue, but reinforcing Tang Haofei’s seal was certainly doable.
To put it bluntly, with Wen Yu’s current strength, the dark barrier he set up could not be broken by anyone with less than 5 million physical attributes. And 5 million? Sorry, excluding Wen Yu, Wen Yu’s spirit pet and soul puppet, there shouldn’t be anyone in the world with that level of power.
“Alright!”
Fran immediately agreed to Wen Yu’s suggestion—after all, the military was more afraid of Tang Haofei being awakened than anything else…
The two wasted no time; they stood up and left the residence, heading towards the nearest Exchange Stone Pillar. Halfway there, it seemed like Wen Yu thought of something and spoke to Fran.
“Celestial God came to see me yesterday. He wanted my blood, and I refused. Is this something Lin Haifeng instigated?”
Fran narrowed his eyes… After a moment, he shook his head gently. “Maybe yes, maybe no. Lin Haifeng does want to use your blood to enhance the Celestial God’s powers. Ideally, he wants to obtain the soul creation technique, but we figured you wouldn’t agree. So we didn’t bring it up with you. As for why the Celestial God came, maybe he just wanted to try his luck.”
Fran had no need to deceive Wen Yu, and his words showed no concealment about the military’s desire for the soul creation technique.
Hearing Fran’s words, Wen Yu nodded slightly—soul creation technique was undoubtedly the most important skill among all of Wen Yu’s abilities. While it didn’t enhance combat strength, its support capabilities were incredibly strong! Just imagine the countless soul puppets scattered around the world, and then consider the power of the mountain puppets and corpse puppets, and you’d understand the tactical potential of this skill…
The military couldn’t possibly be indifferent to the soul creation technique, and Wen Yu wouldn’t hand it over—Lin Haifeng’s judgment was correct; in this case, the Celestial God was rather presumptuous.
With that matter out of his mind, Wen Yu and Fran walked straight to the Exchange Stone Pillar, choosing to teleport to Eternal Sky City. They hurried along and soon arrived at the central control tower of Eternal Sky City.
…
Passing through layers of security checks and encountering over twenty patrol teams along the way, upon reaching the top of the central control tower, Wen Yu immediately spotted Caius’s familiar figure.
Sunlight streamed through the skylights, enveloping Caius in a radiant glow—pure light realm, Caius’s limit-breaking ability.
