Chapter 1798 - 1794: Connecting the Abyss
Chapter 1798: Chapter 1794: Connecting the Abyss
If Earth wants to truly stand among the Multiverse, merely defending is definitely not enough.
The only way is to become stronger, continuously stronger.
When your strength is enough to look down upon the masses, the dangers from before will no longer be threats.
But to keep becoming stronger, the first thing you need is resources.
After all, to achieve the True Immortal level requires a vast amount of resources, let alone the level above, the Great Luo.
Although Earth now has luck on its side and abundant Spiritual Energy, it is still too small.
Supporting the current powerful beings is already quite difficult, and advancing further is impossible.
So now the only feasible solution is to expand Earth’s space.
Hence, Xue An set his sights on the Abyss.
In fact, there’s no place more suitable for Earth than the Abyss.
Firstly, it is vast and resource-rich, and most importantly, the Abyssal Master has already fallen, and now the one in control of the Abyss is Xue An.
Considering all these reasons, Xue An decided to make the Abyss Earth’s backyard.
But the prerequisite for this is that all beings in the Abyss must submit.
Otherwise, if connected easily, it could cause huge trouble.
Xue An was too lazy to deal with those ants one by one, so in a sudden inspiration, he entrusted this task to the Fire Phoenix.
Because for them, this is also a great opportunity for honing.
After arranging things here, Xue An gestured for Zhou Daniu to come over.
"Pack up, you’re coming with me!"
"Where to?" Zhou Daniu was a bit puzzled.
Xue An smiled, "Haven’t you already apprenticed under Old Chu? Now that things are roughly settled, he’s about to leave, and as his disciple, you should go with him!"
Hearing this, Zhou Daniu was dumbfounded.
"I... I won’t go!"
"Won’t go? Why not?"
"Because I swore before, that alive or dead, I am a person of the Fire Phoenix! So I can’t leave!" Zhou Daniu said earnestly.
Xue An was amused, "Who said you have to leave the Fire Phoenix?"
Zhou Daniu blinked, "Didn’t you just say...?"
"You’ve apprenticed under Old Chu, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now you’re going with him to learn skills, and once you’re accomplished, you’ll be back! I never said you’d be with him for life!" Xue An chuckled slyly.
Zhou Daniu understood then but still looked conflicted and saddened, "But I... I can’t bear to leave my brothers!"
At this moment, Cheng Hao came forward and said, "Da Niu, the instructor is right, this is a rare opportunity for you, don’t miss it. When you’re accomplished, you can rejoin the Fire Phoenix, our doors are always open for you!"
"Yes, Da Niu, listen to the instructor and go!"
"That’s the Immortal King! Others can’t even apprentice under him, so you should go!"
Amidst these words of persuasion, Zou Sui, Zhou Daniu’s closest friend, came over with red-rimmed eyes.
"Da Niu, go ahead, I’ll wait for the day you become an Immortal King, then I can brag that my brother is an Immortal King!"
"Blabbermouth..." Da Niu’s eyes welled with tears.
"Get lost, get lost! Damn it, you’re the blabbermouth, I don’t even want to see you right now!" Zou Sui said, turning to leave.
Zhou Daniu stood silently for a moment, then turned to Xue An and said, "Instructor, I’ll go with you!"
"Great! There’s no time to lose, let’s set off now!"
With that, Xue An gave Cheng Hao and others one final piece of advice, "Remember, this space is far more dangerous than you imagine. Unity is essential for success, this is also a test for you. I hope you won’t let me down!"
"Rest assured, instructor, we promise to complete the mission!" Everyone shouted.
"Very good! I’ll be waiting for your good news!"
Saying that, Xue An flew out of the Abyss with Zhou Daniu.
He had already inscribed the runes into the Space-Time Passage, and notified the Commander-in-chief of the Nation in China. Once the Abyss inside is cleared, the runes will automatically activate, ultimately linking the Abyss and Earth together.
After completing this, Xue An flashed to the edge of the Sol System.
At this moment, aside from a few corners needing repair, the Defense Formation was already basically formed.
Standing at the edge looking inward, it was surrounded by cold light, and each step inside was filled with deadly traps.
Witnessing such a grand scene, Zhuge Cang couldn’t help but sigh, "In just ten days, setting up such a vast Defense Formation, saying it aloud, no one would believe it’s true!"
"Of course, look who’s doing it, five Immortal Kings plus a Buddhist Great Bodhisattva, this isn’t a joke!" Huyue chuckled.
At this moment, Xue An also appeared before everyone.
"How is it?"
"It’s all set, it shouldn’t take long to connect them!" Xue An said.
Ye Hanshang frowned, "I still don’t understand why, Old Xie, you could eliminate those Abyssal vermin with one sword, why go through all this trouble? Moreover, when we’re gone, if something happens when the Abyss is linked with Earth, what then?"
Xue An smiled, "I want them to go through some trouble because for Earth to truly enter the ranks of the powerful, it must learn to solve problems on its own. I can’t handle everything and let them enjoy the fruits without any effort!"
"So even if there are some difficulties, it’s a chance to test them."
Upon hearing Xue An, Ye Hanshang remained silent.
Zhuge Cang, however, laughed, "Looks like you plan to cultivate Earth as your own power?"
Xue An nodded naturally, "Exactly! That’s what I’m thinking!"
Zhuge Cang’s eyes lit up, then hesitantly said, "What about your previous powers...?"
Xue An coldly smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll find them back, little by little! But those who betrayed me before, none will escape!"
With all preparations complete, the time for departure finally arrived.
On this day, almost everyone got the message, gathering at Beijiang’s Number One Tian Villa.
This was a farewell banquet with a slightly somber atmosphere.
Many people felt a bit anxious.
After all, everyone had become accustomed to Xue An’s existence, to the protection of the five Immortal Kings.
It was a sense of security that was almost overflowing.
But everyone also knew, the tasks Xue An was embarking on would be even more magnificent.
Therefore, everyone sincerely wished Xue An well.
Fan Mengxue did not, she just looked deeply at Xue An in the distance and then turned to Tian Zena and said.
"Master, let’s go!"
