Chapter 2042 - 1598: Nothing Remains the Same (Part 6)

Time passed bit by bit.

At this moment, Sun Duoxiang leaned over and cautiously asked.

"Boss?"

"What, didn’t I say I wanted some peace and quiet?"

"We’ve arrived, the Shadow is about to dock with the Immortal Blade."

Sun Duoxiang coughed and explained.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo stood up from the command chair.

"I’ll go meet Tilo; wait for me here. We’ll return to Star Ring City later."

"Alright."

Sun Duoxiang immediately responded.

Shortly afterwards, Su Mo entered the command room of the Immortal Blade.

Tilo and the others stood up to greet him, happily addressing him.

"Su Mo."

"Boss."

.....

"Yes, last time’s battle was tough for all of you."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"It wasn’t hard, winning that battle was thanks to the support from that Star Destroyer, it was really strong."

Long Ke quickly praised.

"Don’t underestimate yourselves; you all put in a lot of effort as well. I’m here today partly to check on you, and also to give some instructions."

After a simple greeting, Su Mo spoke seriously.

Tilo and the others straightened their expressions and replied: "Go ahead, Su Mo."

"I need to leave for a while and take some people with me. Kendi, select a thousand skilled hands to come with me."

"No problem!"

Kendi immediately responded.

At this point, Tilo asked: "Is there a special combat mission to execute? Do we need to deploy the Immortal Blade?"

"That’s not necessary; the Immortal Blade needs to guard the Purgatory Heart. At that time, Qian Chengxue will be in charge, and you should cooperate with her well."

Su Mo briefly instructed Tilo.

"Understood, I will cooperate well."

Tilo replied without hesitation.

...

Several hours later, the Shadow docked at the port of Star Ring City.

The boarding gate opened, and Su Mo was about to disembark.

Sun Duoxiang was ready to happily follow along, but Su Mo stopped and said.

"You don’t need to come with me."

"Boss, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet; what if something happens if I’m not with you? And don’t worry, I’m tight-lipped; I won’t tell anyone what you’re up to."

Sun Duoxiang said with a grin.

Su Mo gave Sun Duoxiang a disapproving glare, then said: "I’m going back to the company to see Qian Chengxue; what are you thinking? Also, the reason I told you not to follow me is because I want you to get ready for a long journey on the Shadow with me later."

"A journey? Boss, where are we going?"

Sun Duoxiang was momentarily dumbfounded.

"Where? Don’t ask, just tell me if you’re willing to go or not."

"Of course, wherever you go, I’ll follow."

Sun Duoxiang promised with a pat on his chest.

"Go get ready then."

Su Mo instructed briefly, then walked out of the boarding gate alone, his expression somewhat wistful.

Actually, he wasn’t worried about encountering danger on this voyage with the old man to the Zero Star Domain, nor was he anxious about what the old man would do.

What troubled him the most was not knowing how to bring it up to Qian Chengxue.

...

After a long while, Su Mo returned to the Chenxi Group and arrived at the door of Qian Chengxue’s office.

The door was slightly open, and Qian Chengxue was fully absorbed in handling various documents.

Su Mo took a few deep breaths, then walked into the office, standing in front of Qian Chengxue.

Qian Chengxue instinctively looked up, and when she saw Su Mo, a gentle smile appeared on her cool face.

"You’re back."

"Yes."

Su Mo nodded, wanting to speak to Qian Chengxue but hesitating.

Qian Chengxue immediately noticed the subtle change in Su Mo’s expression; she curiously asked: "Is something wrong?"

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, then summoned the courage to tell Qian Chengxue.

"I need to go on a voyage with my master."

Qian Chengxue’s heart skipped a beat hearing Su Mo’s words, but she calmly asked.

"What’s going on? Where are you going? Is it dangerous?"

"I don’t really know the specifics either; my master didn’t tell me clearly. Also, we’re going to the Zero Star Domain, not the front line, so the danger level shouldn’t be too high, especially considering my master’s strength. By the way, I should mention that my master is the owner of the Star Destroyer that came to support us."

Su Mo explained.

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue slightly nodded.

"Actually, I originally thought of taking you with me, but I also don’t know how long this journey will take, and the Purgatory Heart here needs someone to manage it. So, I’ve decided to take Sun Duoxiang and Kendi and leave Tilo to assist you. I’ll leave this place in your hands."

Su Mo explained softly.

Qian Chengxue reached out to hold Su Mo’s hand, her bright eyes gazing at Su Mo as she said.

"I understand, I support all your decisions, but is your health okay?"

"You don’t need to worry about that, my health is fine, and my master has excellent medical staff."

"Alright then, when are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

Su Mo directly replied.

"So soon? Let me pack some things for you to take along."

Although Qian Chengxue felt a bit reluctant, she still spoke gently.

"Alright."

Su Mo didn’t refuse; though he didn’t actually need anything, it was a gesture of Qian Chengxue’s kindness.

....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the scarlet earth, numerous ships were either docked or crashed onto the ground.

Most striking among them was the Ancient Legendary Star Destroyer, the God of Na Vessel, with a terrifying hole on the slender ship.

At this moment, monsters covered in repulsive Negative God Cells, horrifically deformed, were fiercely sweeping over.

Members of the Negative God Church could be seen piloting mechas to engage them in battle.

Click~

Flesh splattered amidst the pollution.

Continuously attracting more Negative God Cell Infection Monsters to surge in.

On another side, Kavise piloted the VI Generation Biological Mecha, Blood Red Demon God, fiercely battling a VI Type Lord Level Insect Race, Black Striped Stinging Insect King, corrupted by Negative God Cells.

At this moment, Kavise showcased exceptionally high-level maneuvering skills, precisely dodging the sharp claws of the VI Type Lord Level Insect Race, Black Striped Stinging Insect King, with every cross. Simultaneously, he swung the Scarlet Long Spear, grazing its Stance Outerwear.

However, the Stance Outerwear merely rippled and quickly regained its strength.

Witnessing this scene, Kavise’s eyes grew even more sullen.

On the Negative God Star, any monster infected by Negative God Cells could unleash endless polluting power. Their strength and life force would grow stronger and more difficult to deal with.

At this moment, cries of agony kept echoing.

Kavise turned his head and saw the mechas operated by the Fallen God Sect’s followers being destroyed.

Those destroyed mechas, heavily polluted by Negative Energy Cells, stood up again, becoming part of the enemy’s ranks.

As the battle intensified, more and more monsters surged in.

Kavise’s sinister face twitched, his gaze becoming increasingly gloomy.

Since he used the Divine Stone to successfully enter the Negative God Star, it had been a waking nightmare, being ambushed by two highly deformed VI Type Monsters right upon entry.

Instantly, the fleet suffered severe losses.

He was forced to abandon certain ships, opting for an emergency distant crash landing.

But after crash landing, more monsters continued their frenzied assault.

At this moment, Morrick piloted his mecha over, anxiously reporting.

"Sect Hierarch, this isn’t working; we won’t hold out much longer."

Kavise’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint, then he opened his mouth and said.

"Relay my command, retreat!"
