Chapter 548 – Old Acquaintances

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The addition of the Crimson Knight was good news for Chen Heng.

Despite the great momentum, the current Star Alliance seemed to be on the verge of replacing the Round Table and becoming the Galaxy Overlord. This was indeed a fact, and it was also the trend of the future.

However, right now, more powerhouses were needed to share the pressure. This was because so far, there were only three peak existences in the Round Table. The Black King, Philip, and Chen Heng themselves.

These three were all existences that were involved in the King’s Domain and were enough to fight against a king. Their strength was top-notch in the galaxy. However, there were also some troublesome areas.

Among the three, Philip had been transforming in the initial space all year round. He wouldn’t make a move unless it was a critical moment. He would completely ignore the daily affairs of the Star Alliance.

As for the Black King, he could. However, according to Chen Heng and the others’ plan, the Black King would need to perfect the defensive formation of Hechi Star and even the entire starfield in the near future to

stabilize the Star Alliance’s headquarters.

The Black King did not need to count on it for a long time because this matter involved too much energy. He would not make a move unless it were a critical occasion. The only one who could really make a move and

deal with most of the occasions was Chen Heng alone.

With the addition of the Crimson Knight, the manpower became much more abundant, and it could also greatly reduce the pressure on Chen Heng. Hence, this was naturally a good thing for him.

Of course, based on the agreement between him and the Crimson Knight, even though the Crimson Knight had joined the Star Alliance, he would not reveal himself until the Twilight Knight was suppressed and the

Round Table was completely destroyed. From the looks of it, the Crimson Knight still had deep feelings for the Round Table and was unwilling to personally make a move against it.

However, even so, it was enough. Chen Heng did not need the Crimson Knight to suppress the Round Table. He only needed her to do other things, and that was enough. As for revealing her identity as an outsider,

Chen Heng himself did not care about that.

The time was different now. The outcome would have been unpredictable if Chen Heng had revealed this when he had just arrived in this world. It would bring disaster and cause problems for himself. However, now,

there was no problem.

The temptation to go to other worlds was something that every powerhouse couldn’t resist. Different worlds had different sceneries, different laws, and different powers. As powerhouses, they would yearn for other

worlds. This was their instinct. Chen Heng could recruit many powerhouses in this world with this advantage. The addition of these powerhouses would be of great use to him.

The world before him was not weak. The top powerhouses, such as the Crimson Knight, were at the peak of the sixth or seventh rank. If this were the world of Gods, it would be epic. Furthermore, the world itself

restricted them, resulting in their limited potential.

After Philip entered the initial space, through his perception of the initial space, Chen Heng had already sensed some of the deeper mechanisms of this world. The existence of the world consciousness restricted the

potential of the powerhouses in this world, fundamentally locking down the path of further advancement.

If one reached the sixth rank and wanted to continue advancing, there’s only one method left – to obtain the power of the world’s origin. The initial stone tablet was a medium that allowed one to contact the world’s

consciousness without being harmed, getting permission from the world itself and obtaining a higher level of power.

This was caused by the world’s flaws. If people like the Crimson Knight and even the Black King were not born in this world but were born in the world of Gods, they would have greater power.

In the past, they were locked in this world, unable to improve even after countless years due to their conditions. But now, with Chen Heng’s help, they finally had the essentials to go to a more powerful world. In this

process, how strong they would become was something worth looking forward to. At least Chen Heng was looking forward to it. At the moment, he still had many things to do.

Time slowly passed. Soon, another few days passed.

“A familiar place…” Chen Heng came to a familiar place alone in the territory of the Qika Federation.

In front of him was a familiar star, and everything felt normal to Chen Heng, as if he had seen it before. He felt a familiar aura as he was walking in.

“This is…” Chen Heng looked forward, “the Dragon City Academy…” The place before him was a spacious square. The surrounding area was huge, and it looked vast at a glance.

This was none other than the Dragon City academy that Chen Heng had studied. He had studied and worked in this academy in the past. And now, he had finally returned after a few years.

“Finally back…” A soft murmur sounded from the side.

Standing beside Chen Heng, Lu Yao looked at the surrounding scene and could not help but mutter to herself. She seemed a little excited, and her expression became a little complicated.

Besides Chen Heng, Lu Yao had also returned with Chen Heng. Of course, there were also some people on the other side. They had come a long distance from Hechi Starfield to this place in just a few days, which

ordinary people couldn’t do.

Only a top-tier powerhouse like Chen Heng could support the enormous power required for teleportation with his terrifying strength.

“From its looks, it hasn’t changed much.” Chen Heng looked around but did not feel much change.

However, it seemed to be the case, thinking about it carefully. It had only been a few years from the time they had left until now, if one were to count carefully, even though they had experienced many things. It would

not change much even for ordinary people in only a few years, much less for such a large academy.

“Let’s go…” Chen Heng said softly, looking at the vaguely familiar place in front of him. Then, he brought Lu Yao and directly turned around to leave.

Along with Chen Heng and the others, Jiang Wen and the envoys of the Qika Federation also returned, bringing news of Chen Heng’s return. The Qika Federation took this matter very seriously and quickly sent people

over. They were prepared to get Chen Heng and the others away and entertain them.

However, Chen Heng did not pay any attention to them but just waved his hand, indicating for them to leave. After that, they were not disturbed anymore.

Chen Heng and Lu Yao returned to Hechi Star as they wanted to find their former friends and relatives and confirm their safety. As for the others, they were not interested. To them, those were all empty things that

were not worth mentioning.

After leaving the Dragon City academy, they did not walk on their own. Instead, they stopped a car by the side of the road, like ordinary people. Sitting in the car, they looked at the scenery by the road and silently felt

the familiar atmosphere and changes around them. Occasionally, they would see some familiar scenes – the familiar streets they had their memories of.

“That supermarket seems to have closed down…” Lu Yao suddenly interjected when they passed by a particular place, her tone filled with regret. She had worked in this place for some time and had gotten to know

some people there. Chen Heng nodded and did not say anything else.

Time passed. After a while, they arrived at a villa. Lu Yao’s expression was a little complicated looking at the familiar place. This wasn’t any other place, but exactly where they used to live. The smell of fireworks rose

within it as if someone was cooking there.

Two familiar faces appeared before her eyes as she walked in. They were Lu Yao’s parents. They seemed to have already received the news that Lu Yao and Chen Heng were about to return. They were already prepared

at this moment, cooking and preparing a sumptuous lunch. When they saw Lu Yao and Chen Heng, their faces lit up with joy as they hurriedly greeted them.

“Where have the two of you been these past few years? Have you been living well?” Their parents looked at Chen Heng and Chen Heng during lunch as they asked.

They did not know what had happened that year. When the Crimson Knight had descended, the matter of Chen Heng and the Crimson Knight fighting had been permanently sealed by the Qika Federation. Moreover,

the two of them had been concealed by Chen Heng and sent into a secret realm when the battle took place. Therefore, they did not know the actual situation of Lu Yao and Chen Heng.

The Qika Federation told them that Chen Heng had gone to the outer realm to carry out a secret mission. Lu Yao had also received Chen Heng’s recommendation and had gone to other stars in the Qika Federation to

receive training. She would need a long period before she could return.

Although the two elders accepted the news, they were still worried. Only now that they saw Lu Yao and Chen Heng return that they finally let go of the worry in their hearts and smile. They began to chat, discussing

the experiences and changes in the past few years. Chen Heng and Lu Yao had naturally made preparations regarding this. The answers that they gave were sufficient to make people satisfied.

“Brother and I are doing very well. We already have our positions in another starfield. We are the top figures there.” Lu Yao glanced at Chen Heng and said softly.

Lu Yao and Chen Heng were not prepared to reveal their current experiences. It was enough to let their parents know that they were doing very well. It might not be good if they revealed too much. At least, for

commoners like them, if they knew that their child had become such a prominent figure, they might feel uneasy and even think that it was unreal.

It was good enough to let their parents think they were doing well. Their parents were delighted with Lu Yao and Chen Heng’s reply. To them, there was nothing better than having their children live a good life. This

was something to be gratified about.

Lu Yao chatted with her parents for a very long time this afternoon. As for Chen Heng, he kept silent most of the time and just sat quietly at the side, rarely interjected. Their parents did not say much about this as they

were already used to it. After all, Chen Heng had always been like this in the past. There was nothing strange about him being like this now. If Chen Heng suddenly became active, then they would be puzzled.

However, Chen Heng did not leave as quickly as he had in the past, even though he did not say much. Instead, he stayed here for a long time, quietly accompanying his parents. After a long while, his expression

changed. He looked at his parents, “I’ll be leaving for a while to deal with some matters.” Then, he stood up and walked out after seeing his parents nod.

They looked at Chen Heng’s back at the dining table and sighed. “Your brother is still in such a hurry.”

“Yes.” Lu Yao smiled and looked at Chen Heng. However, she could only see his back at this moment. She seemed to have sensed something. Her expression changed, and she immediately understood Chen Heng’s

whereabouts.

After leaving his residence and walking for some distance, Chen Heng soon arrived at a park. The park looked very spacious, and the surrounding scenery was pleasant. Occasionally there was a faint floral scent, very

calming.

A woman was sitting on a bench in the park’s depths, holding a cell phone. There was a hesitant look on her face as if she was struggling with something. “What are you thinking about?” Chen Heng’s voice sounded.

The woman looked up as a conditioned reflex and stared at Chen Heng. Chen Heng’s figure stood there, still looking young, no different from before. His figure looked a little thin under the faint sunlight. The smile on

his handsome face was still the same as before.

“It’s you…” The woman looked at Chen Heng, that familiar face, and she seemed a little absent-minded, taking her a long time to react.

She was Liu Rou, the person who had once discovered Chen Heng and signed a contract with the Black Dream Group. In the past, she had given Chen Heng a lot of help and was one of Chen Heng’s friends on the Qika

Star.

“I sensed your aura, so I came to take a look.” Looking at Liu Rou, Chen Heng naturally sat down beside her, then he said softly, “What are you doing here?”

“1…” Liu Rou sensed Chen Heng’s familiar aura and felt an inexplicable throbbing, “I received the news and knew that you had returned, so I specially came over to see if I could see you. I was still hesitating whether I

should call you or not. I didn’t expect you to come over in the next moment.” She said with a bitter smile on her face.

Chen Heng glanced at her and didn’t say anything more on this issue. He just changed the topic and said, “It seems you have been living quite well these few years.”.
