The Martial Arts Association would be able to roughly estimate the energy level of the Heavenly Person, adjust their subsequent countermeasures accordingly, and minimize unnecessary damage and casualties as much as possible.

Of course.

This data would definitely not be exclusive to the Martial Arts Association.

As participants in this operation, both the Xilia Empire represented by Or and the Char Federation represented by Rhein needed to share this information.

This had been agreed upon by the three parties when they previously reached a cooperation agreement.

Li Wuji had no objections either.

The only difference.

Fell on the ownership of Zhurong’s skull.

According to the agreement reached by the three parties, it would be best to research such things in turns.

After all,

Although they had reached a cooperation, it was basically impossible for everyone to be indifferent and treat each other like family members.

This was the skull of a Heavenly Person, and it seemed to be the skull of a Heavenly Person who had goodwill towards Homo sapiens.

Who wouldn’t want to obtain first-hand information.

The Heavenly Person was about to awaken.

The sooner the research was launched, the sooner important information and intelligence could be obtained.

Even,

The assistance of this Heavenly Person could be obtained.

Therefore,

When Rhein and Or contacted their respective countries and were preparing to discuss with Li Wuji,

He was even prepared to do whatever it took to keep the skull.

However,

What Li Wuji had originally envisioned as requiring intense discussion.

Finally,

Ended with a single sentence from Chen Sheng.

Facing Rhein and Or who wanted to fight for the right to research the Heavenly Person’s skull,

Chen Sheng appeared just in time.

He just smiled and said one sentence.

“The skull can be given.”

“Just snatch it from my hands.”

When he said this,

To the three powers, the Heavenly Person’s skull was of utmost importance.

It was being tossed up and down by Chen Sheng, like a toy ball.

It was just this one sentence.

That completely silenced Or and Rhein.

What kind of joke.

How to snatch it?

Who will snatch it?

More precisely, it should be….

Who will die first?

After witnessing Chen Sheng’s martial power, neither of them had the courage to confront him.

In the end,

The two people who didn’t want to die could only give up.

Although they didn’t know what was said,

But until they left separately, no one brought up the matter of the Heavenly Person’s skull again.

As a result,

As the ship sailed towards the other side of the coast,

Li Wuji also set off with Chen Sheng and quickly returned to Kyoto, handing the Heavenly Person’s skull over to the underground research institute.

——————

Kyoto.

Martial Arts Association Underground Research Institute.

Gurgle, gurgle——

In the container filled with nutrient liquid, Zhurong’s skull floated silently.

Bubbles floated up from time to time.

This scene was so similar to that of the respected elder once before.

That when researchers who had heard about the Heavenly Person and hurriedly rushed to the research institute saw it, their faces couldn’t help but show a trance-like expression.

But compared to the respected elder who was in the nutrient liquid, absorbing only a small portion of it to maintain life signs,

Zhurong seemed more like greedily and actively absorbing it.

The researchers had to adjust the nutrient liquid delivery to its maximum power, barely keeping up with the passive absorption in the other party’s sleeping state.

And as time went by.

Zhurong, who was just a skull before, has now recovered half of his body.

The surrounding temperature was also rising continuously.

If left unchecked,

It wouldn’t be long before the research institute would become like the Slumbering Land.

Fortunately,

Li Wuji had anticipated this early on, and during the return journey, he had made the appropriate arrangements.

When the research was successfully launched,

Chen Sheng and Li Wuji went to a hidden room in the research institute and began discussing what had happened in the Slumbering Land.

The two of them sat opposite each other on two sofas.

There was a tea table between them.

“This room was built when the Martial Arts Association was first established.”

“At that time, although the respected elder and I were one body, I often sought different perspectives from him when thinking about problems.”

“Whenever I think about something, I like to sit here quietly by myself.”

“When the Research Institute was being rebuilt, I thought it might come in handy in the future, so I didn’t change the design drawings.”

Li Wuji was making tea and laughing as he spoke.

“When you get older, you develop inexplicable habits.”

“Now when I talk to people, if I don’t drink some tea, it feels like my brain is stuck.”

“That’s normal, I have the habit of drinking tea too.”

Chen Sheng picked up the teacup and gently blew on it.

Although he wasn’t afraid of being scalded, as a human being, there were some subconscious habits.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Wuji put away his smile and resumed a serious expression.

“What was it that you wanted to talk to me about earlier?”

“About Heavenly Beings.”

Chen Sheng put down the teacup.

“About their origins, abilities, classes.”

“Why they don’t die.”

“And… their true purpose.”

“True purpose?”

All of the items mentioned by Chen Sheng were, in fact, things Li Wuji had been trying to investigate and understand for many years now.

Unfortunately,

although there were vague records, they informed Li Wuji of what had happened in the past, as well as the source of the Heavenly Beings’ abilities.

But this information was far from enough.

Chen Sheng’s previous seriousness led Li Wuji to have some guesses about the content he was going to discuss.

What truly surprised Li Wuji was Chen Sheng’s last sentence.

“That’s right.”

Following Li Wuji’s question, Chen Sheng nodded slightly.

“You saw the power of that female Heavenly Being named Red Mist earlier.”

“Do you remember the question I asked you once?”

“If since ancient times, Heavenly Beings have had this level of strength, then humans should have been wiped out long ago, not waiting till today.”

“And the answer you gave me then was because humans are widespread and have assistance from friendly Heavenly Beings like Zhurong, humans have managed to survive.”

“Is it not?”

Li Wuji was even more astonished.

So far, all the information he had gathered pointed to the Heavenly Beings’ goal: exterminating Homo sapiens.

But from what Chen Sheng was saying now, it seemed that was not the case.

Chen Sheng shook his head in response to his doubt.

“I should say, it’s not the whole story.”

“It’s a bit complicated; let me start from the beginning.”

As his words fell,

Chen Sheng briefly fell silent, as if brewing his words.

Then he began speaking slowly.

“I previously had a battle with that female Heavenly Being in the Slumbering Land.”

“At first, although I was able to suppress her, she could always resurrect time and time again, as if she truly could never die.”

“But after I unleashed my full strength, the situation changed.”

At that time, not only did Chen Sheng’s Attribute reach 130 million points, providing him with terrifying and overwhelming strength,

he also unleashed all seven abilities of the Desire Demon Body, trying to suppress Red Mist’s immortality.

Among these abilities, there were those like Gluttony that could absorb energy.

And also Greed, which could temporarily seize the opponent’s body attributes and even their authority.

With the support of these numerous abilities,

and that punch that shook the land,

Chen Sheng’s attack finally took effect.

Red Mist, who was reduced to dust by his punch, showed no signs of recovery for a long time.

At that time, Chen Sheng thought he had finally cracked the secret of the Heavenly Beings’ immortality.

Perhaps the so-called immortality,

was merely because those who killed them were not strong enough.

“But that idea didn’t hold.”

“As I was about to go out and find you, I saw Zhurong’s skull being revived.”

“I thought at that time that Red Mist hadn’t completely died, and continuously tried various ways to extinguish her, even as far as… directly devouring her soul.”

At this point,

Chen Sheng subtly glanced at his own fingers.

Between his fingers,

the black ring lay quietly, like a dead object.

As if he was reminded of something,

Chen Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly, revealing a stern expression.

“Red Mist’s soul had already been completely annihilated under my attack.”

“What I actually tried to devour was part of Zhurong’s soul.”

“From there, I saw some fragmentary memories of his tens of thousands of years.”

“And… some things I shouldn’t have seen.”

“Things you shouldn’t have seen?”

Li Wuji murmured, repeating Chen Sheng’s last sentence.

At this moment,

he was both shocked that Chen Sheng had the means to kill a Heavenly Being with one punch,

and, at the same time, filled with a strong curiosity.

What was it,

that could prompt the powerful Chen Sheng to describe it as “shouldn’t have seen?”
