Chapter 593: Chapter 21: The Situation in Ten Years
Wang Sheng concealed himself and, without approaching the planet, felt the presence of the Planet Will.
“You’ve finally returned. How is everything?”
Hearing the voice of the Planet Will, Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The presence of the Planet Will indicated that the situation was not as severe as imagined, at least not at its worst.
Of course, he still held some reservations in his heart.
A trump card, once revealed, is no longer a trump card!
“It’s bearable. I’ve managed to survive the deadly ordeal and even increased my strength. Let’s not discuss that. What exactly is the situation in Datong?”
“It’s not ideal, but thankfully Datong has survived.” The voice of the Planet Will sounded rather stern.
Wang Sheng was not surprised. Although he had left behind contingencies, survival was the utmost they could manage. Pursuing more would surely be problematic.
“Surviving is good enough. Give me the details!”
“No problem!”
The Planet Will did not hide anything and recounted the situation.
“In order to ensure you weren’t exposed, I revealed myself and, alongside Huangtian using the trump card you left him, threatened the Eighth Realm of the Chaotic Realm. Thus, the Chaotic Realm didn’t notice anything wrong with you. Not only that, in the initial years, due to the Ninth Realm’s intervention, the inter-realm passage returned to its original state, allowing only one from the Chaotic Realm Eighth Realm to cross. Fearing mutual destruction, they were rather arrogant towards Datong but did nothing substantial, allowing it to develop quite smoothly.”
“Only in recent years as the inter-realm passage gradually restored did it start to accommodate more powerful beings. The cultivators from the Chaotic Realm began to show their intentions, especially in the recent year; the passage has returned to the state during your time, allowing three from the Eighth Realm to cross simultaneously, no longer concealing their ambitions.”
“How long has it been since I went into slumber? Also, in the initial years, haven’t the powerful beings from the Chaotic Realm thought about coming over separately?”
Wang Sheng was puzzled. During his time, he could directly eliminate the Eighth Realm; sending only one was merely courting death. Could it remain the same after his departure?
“It’s been ten years since you awoke from your slumber. But rest assured, Datong hasn’t lost many lives so far. The reason for their caution is also due to Huangtian, who entered the inter-realm passage directly. Whenever a second from the Eighth Realm would enter, he would risk everything to use your trump card in an attempt to perish together.”
“Using such a desperate strategy had actually made things better for Datong for a few years. As the leader, he has fulfilled his duty.”
The Planet Will did not hide its appreciation for Huangtian.
Had it not been for Huangtian, the situation would not have been this favorable.
“He did quite well.” In fact, Wang Sheng had also left a trump card which, should the Chaotic Realm act recklessly, would be activated to deter them from Qingshan Village.
The result was beyond expectation, with Huangtian managing the situation himself.
Much better than anticipated.
In fact, it could be said that without Huangtian’s actions, things might not have progressed so smoothly.
“A decade!”
Wang Sheng had not expected that his slumber and transformation would last ten years.
“No wonder my Divine Ability Martial Techniques have improved so significantly.”
A ten-year span with no such progress would be abnormal.
“What else, since you mentioned that three from the Eighth Realm have come from the Chaotic Realm, but these Eighth Realm have not taken any action, surely they didn’t just take pity, did they?”
“Of course not. In a world invasion battle, there are only two outcomes: one is for one side to submit, becoming an Affiliated World, with the destiny of every living soul controlled by others, and the other is to be sacrificed, with all living beings becoming nourishment for that world to grow stronger—even in many cases, the first scenario ends up like the second. It couldn’t possibly be out of kindness!”
“You seem to know more…” Before this, the Planet Will had a general understanding of world invasion and the fate of world beings but certainly not this detailed.
“Of course, these years, Datong has developed quite well, with several beings from the Sixth Realm appearing!”
Logically, this should be good news, but the Planet Will’s tone was filled with sarcasm, which Wang Sheng could clearly discern.
“Has something happened?”
“Do you know how those from the Sixth Realm appeared?”
“Since you put it that way, they must not have cultivated their way up. Did these Sixth Realm beings submit to the Chaotic Realm?” This was the only possibility Wang Sheng could think of.
“Yes, exactly that. Now, those who have broken through to the Sixth Realm have all switched allegiances, and as the Chaotic Realm reveals its true nature, their oppression of Datong beings is even harsher than that from the beings of the Chaotic Realm. They not only seek to survive but, in an effort to please the beings of the Chaotic Realm, have stained their hands with more lives of Datong beings than many from the Chaotic Realm.”
The Planet Will was very angry.
It couldn’t fathom why.
This was no longer about survival.
Wang Sheng scoffed, unsurprised, having anticipated this while in slumber: “Converts are fanatical, no need to be angry, there will be retribution eventually.”
Facing the Ninth Realm of the Chaotic Realm, he did not have a full assurance of victory, but he was confident in using secret techniques to combat them.
When the cost outweighs the benefit, the Chaotic Realm would give it due consideration.
That would be the time for retribution.
The Planet Will seemed to have heeded the advice, calming down.
“That’s true. There’s no need to be upset over these people, but a problem must be addressed. I have obtained more information because the overall strength of Datong has increased. The increase in strength of Datong is greatly related to the Chaotic Realm, since Datong itself couldn’t manage these matters. The actions of the Chaotic Realm aren’t without reason.”
