Li Chen’s departure was sowhat hasty and a bit awkward.
It must be said, the changes in the Netherworld were truly overwhelming. Even with his thick nerves, he found it hard to accept.
After erging from the underground space and looking at the sunlight overhead, Li Chen’s expression appeared quite complex.
He sensed that everything around him seed to be changing.
Even he himself was changing. He longed to return to the simple days of the past, but he knew he couldn’t undo this transformation. It was irreversible.
"As long as it’s a good thing, it doesn’t really matter," Li Chen thought to himself.
After pondering for a mont, Li Chen returned to Alice’s laboratory to inquire about so details concerning the Netherworld.
"Actually, we don’t fully understand the situation either, but with the help of several grandpas, I extracted a little blood from the Netherworld," Alice said.
Bringing Li Chen to an instrunt, Alice introduced the situation within the instrunt while explaining to Li Chen.
"With our current thods, we still can’t completely explain the situation of the Netherworld. However, my findings suggest that the Netherworld’s genes seem to have undergone so peculiar mutation. This mutation seems to originate from the energy in the blood," Alice said.
"The energy in the blood..." Li Chen was taken aback, suddenly recalling the scene when he had once sacrificed his own blood to nurture the Netherworld.
"Could it be because of ?"
"Grandpa Qin Lunhui said that perhaps in the future, the Netherworld will beco a miracle, a miracle unique in the world," Alice thought for a mont before saying.
"Third Grandpa?" Li Chen was stunned, then asked, "Where are Third Grandpa and the others now?"
Li Chen suddenly realized that he had been back for quite so ti yet hadn’t seen the elders.
"Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Li seem to have sothing to attend to and have already left the base. Grandpa Luo is also in closed-door cultivation, saying not to wake him unless it’s sothing urgent," Alice said.
"Second Grandpa is also in closed-door cultivation..." Li Chen slightly lowered his head, revealing a contemplative expression.
Great Grandfather hasn’t been seen for years, Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa aren’t at the base, Second Grandpa is also in closed-door cultivation, does that an the base is now completely under Catherine’s control?
To have such a woman, and without strength equivalent to an Earth-level Expert, dealing with those old foxes, it must be difficult for her.
Li Chen suddenly sighed.
However, wasn’t the Palace of the Nether King once like this?
It’s just that the status has changed, and so have the people they have to deal with.
Leaving Alice’s laboratory, Li Chen’s eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
Originally, his plan was to bring Lin Yi and her sister ho after a brief explanation upon returning, but given the current situation, it seems the Palace of the Nether King needs him more.
Li Chen’s heart was in turmoil.
"Boss." At this mont, Catherine suddenly contacted him again.
"What’s the matter?" Li Chen asked.
"Our people received news that An Qin and Qianqian seem to have returned."
"What? They’ve co out?" Li Chen’s face showed a look of delighted surprise, then he hurried to Catherine’s office.
Upon arrival, Li Chen imdiately saw that Catherine wasn’t the only one in the office.
Apart from a Nether Army Warrior standing in place waiting for Catherine’s orders, there was one other person present.
Upon seeing this person, Li Chen couldn’t help but break into a smile.
Because, after seeing Li Chen, this person also displayed a simple smile.
"Senior Brother!"
"Zhong Tian, long ti no see." Li Chen smiled as he approached this forrly chubby guy, patting Zhong Tian on the shoulder.
Although Zhong Tian had slimd down, his figure remained very burly, significantly larger than Li Chen by at least a size.
Furthermore, his height of nearly two ters added to his intimidating presence.
Moreover, Zhong Tian was now a genuine Union Level expert!
Li Chen finally felt slightly relieved.
Catherine truly was a smart woman, not likely to easily put herself in harm’s way.
Zhong Tian, being nominally Li Chen’s junior, would certainly be treated like an honored guest if it were soone else, being fed and entertained daily.
But clearly, Catherine didn’t think this way and instead kept Zhong Tian by her side as a bodyguard. Other factions seeing Catherine’s second-in-command having a Union Level expert by her side would naturally restrain themselves from making any rash moves.
Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile again.
"How have you been here?"
"Not bad, I should say it’s better than before." Zhong Tian said with a simple smile, "Here, I have plenty of ti to train every day, and only need to accompany Sister Catherine to see certain people when necessary, without worrying about anything else. It’s not like when I was in the company, zoning out in the security room all day."
Hearing Zhong Tian’s candid words, Li Chen couldn’t help but force a bitter smile.
Hearing Zhong Tian speak like this made him feel like he had mistreated him before.
"Then do your best here."
"Hmm!" Zhong Tian patted his chest, still devoid of the majesty appropriate for a Union Level expert, and earnestly said, "I will work hard to bring Vivi ho soon!"
Li Chen was taken aback, then chuckled softly.
It seems that Zhong Tian and that girl nad Zhang Yuwei are really getting along?
After chatting with Catherine for a while in the office, Li Chen soon left.
After briefly speaking with the Qilin Princess, Li Chen drove away from the base.
With Zhong Tian overseeing things here, he felt assured.
Previously, he had almost forgotten about Zhong Tian. After all, Zhong Tian is now a Union Level expert, and if any outsiders dared to act recklessly, with Zhong Tian as the Seastabilizing Needle, they would have to seriously reconsider.
If all else fails, the Netherworld could be unleashed.
However, Li Chen was also aware that the current state of the Netherworld was akin to a ticking ti bomb; if released, a mistake could easily lead to unintended harm to their own people.
But for the ti being, he could barely be reassured.
Driving through Linchuan, Li Chen headed straight for the villa. According to the information from Catherine, after An Qin and Qianqian erged from the relic, they inford the Nether Army Warrior and directly returned to the villa.
And now, the two won might be at the villa waiting for him.
Thinking about this, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitent.
At the second layer of the relic, he hadn’t had enough yet...
Inexplicably, a slightly mischievous smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.
Of course, this smile was clearly unseen by others.
