Chapter 571: Chapter 329: Inquiry and a Small Proof
Sea surface.
Silver waves surged into the sky, unceasingly.
This was not of natural origin.
Instead, it was the result of Chen Sheng running on the sea surface.
Even though he had deliberately reined in his strength.
But with each step Chen Sheng took, the waves engulfed by the impact of his great strength would instantly erupt.
Because Chen Sheng’s upcoming experiment on Zhurong might cause some violent reactions from the other party.
Therefore,
Chen Sheng was moving away from human settlements to avoid causing unnecessary casualties.
After running for about three to five minutes.
Finally,
Chen Sheng stopped.
His feet suspended above the sea surface.
As he looked around, all he saw was the boundless ocean, with no trace of land in sight.
Here, it should be considered safe.
With that in mind,
Chen Sheng looked at Zhurong in his hand.
The other party was still in a dormant state, completely unaware of what was about to happen next.
Although from his previous behavior, Zhurong seemed to be quite close to humans.
But in Chen Sheng’s view,
Compared to the power that the other party possesses and what he can contribute to human beings,
The information he holds can provide greater assistance.
And so,
“Let’s begin.”
As Chen Sheng’s voice resounded,
The next second,
Xiao Hei at his knuckles turned into a liquid and dripped down.
In an instant,
It completely disappeared.
Chen Sheng quietly waited.
As for Xiao Hei, who had entered Zhurong’s body, he quickly found the location of the other party’s soul.
Just like last time,
With the accumulation of a large amount of memories and the slow enhancement over the years,
Zhurong’s soul was immense.
Trying to swallow it whole like an ordinary Heavenly Human Descendant was impossible for Xiao Hei.
Fortunately,
With the experience of the first time,
Xiao Hei had learned a new phrase:
“Chew slowly and swallow.”
So,
At the edge of Zhurong’s soul,
Xiao Hei gently enveloped a small tuft of the soul.
Repeatedly tried to tug and kept confirming the limit of resistance he could tear.
Finally,
He exerted all his strength at once,
And tore again—
Hmm?
Looking at the immovable soul, Xiao Hei was somewhat puzzled.
According to his expectations, it should have been a success.
Clearly, the soul fragment this time was smaller than before.
Why did it fail?
Xiao Hei was not convinced.
He started trying again.
I will tear off—
I will tear the fuck up—
Wow, it’s pissing me off, this old Hei!!!
At this point,
Even Chen Sheng, who had not participated in the action of tearing the soul, could feel Xiao Hei’s fury.
Even his roaring voice resounded directly in Chen Sheng’s mind.
“…..”
Chen Sheng was speechless for a moment, just about to say something.
Suddenly,
He seemed to have noticed something.
Lowered his head,
Only to see that at some unknown point, Zhurong had already opened his fiery red eyes, looking somewhat helplessly at Chen Sheng.
“This…young friend.”
“Can we stop doing this?”
Unexpectedly,
Even when sensing Xiao Hei’s tearing at his soul, Zhurong did not show the violent resistance Chen Sheng had anticipated.
On the contrary, he showed a good-natured and negotiable expression, seeking Chen Sheng’s consent.
This Heavenly Being… had a surprisingly good temperament.
However, since he had already achieved his goal, Chen Sheng was not insistent on completely devouring Zhurong here.
“Come back.”
Chen Sheng issued an instruction to Xiao Hei in his mind.
Faced with Chen Sheng’s request,
Even if Xiao Hei was reluctant, he could only crawl out of Zhurong’s body.
“Also,”
“Tell the Cactus not to let your Clone read those weird books like ‘South Heaven Gate: Lv Bu Battles Three Gods’, ‘Sun Wukong Fights Liangshanbo’.”
“Say I said so.”
Chen Sheng’s tone in his mind was quite serious.
There was already one Mako, acting like a chivalrous man.
Now even Xiao Hei started calling himself “Old Hei.”
Chen Sheng didn’t want the people around him in the future to speak in such strange ways.
“….I understand.”
In his mind, Xiao Hei’s somewhat disappointed voice echoed.
Only then did Chen Sheng withdraw his attention and look back at Zhurong in front of him.
During the time he was quietly admonishing Xiao Hei, the other party showed no signs of impatience. Instead, Zhurong just smiled and watched Chen Sheng.
Not until Chen Sheng’s gaze returned to him did Zhurong show a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.
“My young friend…I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
“Can you put me down?”
“It’s rather inconvenient like this.”
As soon as the words fell,
Zhurong felt his body lighten.
He quickly adjusted his posture to avoid falling directly into the sea.
He slowly got up.
Flames flew out of his body and quickly wove a fiery red robe on the surface of his body.
“Thank you, my young friend.”
“I know that you woke me up because you need something.”
“I, Chi, am willing to do my utmost.”
Finally,
The Zhurong standing before Chen Sheng, with his hands clasped, bowed deeply.
Hmm?
Chen Sheng keenly noted the word usage in his speech.
“Chi?”
“Aren’t you Zhurong?”
The female Heavenly Being named Red Mist had once called the Heavenly Being in front of her Zhurong.
Although Chen Sheng and the other party were enemies,
He always felt that there was no need for the other party to lie about this matter.
What’s the point of just making up a name of a deity?
Did they expect him and others to worship them with respect?
Facing Chen Sheng’s doubts, Zhurong did not beat around the bush. Instead, he explained with a smile.
“Chi has gone through many years, has had many names, all bestowed to me by others.”
“Zhurong is one of them.”
“But, all these are just empty names. You can call me whatever you like.”
Is that so….
After a brief thought, Chen Sheng had a general understanding.
For ancient humans or even those from an earlier era, it was not an exaggeration to say that Heavenly Beings with power were gods.
