Chapter 379 Bearing a Mission
Chapter 379 Bearing a Mission
"There are many. The first thing you'll have to face are those void creatures. Of course, I'm not referring to the people who live on the void continent when I say void creatures."
"Instead, they are the original creatures born in the chaotic void world, such as Void Star Spirits, Void Devouring Insects, and Void Sea Spirits."
Feng did not reveal that his apprentice's mission was to seal away the ultimate fear once again.
He knew that was far too far away for "him".
Therefore, he only intended to tell "him" about some elite monster-level enemies.
He just wanted to make sure "he" didn't slack off in his cultivation, but he didn't want to scare "him" into becoming depressed.
After all, that ultimate fear was a terrifying existence that even these divine messengers were unwilling to mention.
"Huh? Are they powerful?"
Upon learning that he would have many enemies in the future, Mu Xingchen's excited heart calmed down completely.
He mainly didn't expect that becoming a supreme god would bring so much trouble.
He's the kind of person who hates trouble the most.
"Just know that the enemies you'll face in the future will be capable of destroying the entire universe. And I'm not talking about destroying all life in the universe, but destroying the universe itself. There won't be any planets or stars left."
Seeing that "his" expression had turned somber, Feng put another wave of pressure on the kid.
He believed that after learning these secrets, his apprentice would never have any more thoughts of slacking off.
"Holy crap! That's insane?! It can destroy the entire universe?!"
Upon hearing Master Feng's words, Mu Xingchen's eyes widened in shock once again.
"Of course! You bear the great mission of saving the world, so you better train hard from now on! Otherwise, if the universe ever ends, you'll be the biggest sinner!"
At that moment, Jie interrupted from the side.
However, his words were a bit too much of a shirking of responsibility.
"No, how could I possibly save the entire universe? With my limited abilities, how could I possibly do it? Wait a minute?! Isn't saving the universe the task of the Galactic Force?"
"I heard Zhixin say that Xiao Lun is some kind of sword that cuts through fear, and that he will fight against super bosses like the ultimate fear in the future. How come it's become me saving the universe in your eyes?"
Mu Xingchen originally wanted to complain about his lack of "divine power".
Then I suddenly remembered what Zhixin and Lena had talked about near Luoyang.
It's as if some ultimate fear will descend, and then all life will return to nothingness or something.
Isn't it Ge Xiaolun, who has the ability to fight against the void, who takes on those world-class bosses?
What does this have to do with his Dawn of Light?
"You also know about ultimate fear?"
Feng was somewhat surprised when he heard those four words from his apprentice.
He wasn't planning to tell that kid, but it turns out "he" actually found out!
"I know, it seems that the arrival of some ultimate fear will cause all life forms to return to the beginningless past or something."
Mu Xingchen nodded, not denying it.
"..."
Feng didn't speak to Mu Xingchen, but turned his head to look at Jie again.
Jie was standing there with his arms crossed, trying to look cool, when he saw his older brother looking at him.
He promptly took over the conversation.
"Since you know about the ultimate fear, then I'll tell you the truth: your ultimate mission is to destroy it, or to seal it away again."
"But I heard Zhixin and Lena say that this mission is to be carried out by the Galactic Force, right? What does that have to do with me?"
Mu Xingchen scratched his head, still feeling that he shouldn't be the one to fight the BOSS.
"The gods of this universe do know of the existence of ultimate fear, but they do not know what ultimate fear is. Perhaps they have tried every means to prepare for the arrival of ultimate fear in the future."
"But I must tell you, only the Chaos God can confront the Ultimate Fear. No one else can. As for your little friend, he's a joke. Believe me, he has absolutely no chance of defeating the Ultimate Fear."
Before Jie could speak, Feng spoke first.
After all, the three of them had seen Karl in his spiritual form when they returned.
They knew that Death also knew about the ultimate fear, and even knew the exact time when the ultimate fear would arrive.
But he didn't believe that the three major god-making projects of the Divine River could pull off any tricks in the face of ultimate fear.
The ultimate fear is so powerful that no "human" can get close to it; only gods can confront it.
This is beyond doubt.
"what……?"
Seeing how serious his master was, Mu Xingchen's face immediately fell.
He didn't expect that he would have to clean up after that bastard Ge Xiaolun!
Why should he be asked to complete "his" mission as the Galactic Force?
He's the one who has to fight those troublesome void creatures, and he's the one who has to confront the ultimate fear.
Why does he always seem to run into all sorts of unpleasant things?
groove!
He's so pitiful!
"What do you mean 'ah'? Don't worry, as long as you become the Supreme God, you will definitely be able to eliminate the ultimate fear. Now all you need to do is cultivate the source energy we gave you. Don't worry about anything else; those things won't be coming anytime soon."
Seeing the boy's reluctant expression, Feng pouted in dissatisfaction.
But he didn't mention a word about the cost of eliminating ultimate fear.
Because he really didn't dare to say it.
"That's right, just focus on your cultivation and stop overthinking. I'm telling you this so you understand that you'll face unimaginable enemies thousands or tens of thousands of years from now. We want you to work hard and not be lazy or slack off, understand?"
As he spoke, Jie reached out and pushed Mu Xingchen's head again.
She seemed to want to help "him" relax.
"Then...when do you think I'll become the supreme god?"
Knowing that he was tasked with saving the universe, Mu Xingchen couldn't be happy at all.
All he cares about now is whether he can become the supreme god and defeat the ultimate boss.
"Who could know? But at your current speed, I estimate it will take about a thousand years."
Jie crossed his arms over his chest again.
He was a little unhappy behind the mask.
It's probably related to Mu Xingchen's perpetually gloomy face.
"A thousand years? That means I have to cultivate like a madman for a thousand years?"
Upon hearing the time limit mentioned by his third master, Mu Xingchen suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted.
He simply couldn't believe that he had to toil for so "long" to become the supreme god.
Isn't this going to work him to death?
He really didn't want to be a "cow or horse" for a thousand years!
"Tsk, we didn't say you had to train like crazy. You should rest when you need to, and train when you need to. We just don't want you to slack off on developing your divine power because of missions, not to drive you crazy. Don't misunderstand us."
Kazami's apprentice always had a sour face and was so stubborn.
He was speechless.
He regretted telling this silly boy all these secrets.
He was genuinely afraid that the guy would be under too much mental pressure and kill himself.
Hey.
"I see, then I understand. I'll just do what I need to do and let things take their course. If I really am some divinely ordained savior, I believe everything will fall into place naturally."
After being comforted by his second master, Mu Xingchen finally felt relieved.
At least he doesn't have to suffer through grueling cultivation.
This is the best outcome for him right now.
He had just been promoted and was thinking about enjoying himself after completing his mission.
How could I possibly want to practice as diligently as a monk?
"That's the right way to think. Keep up the good work. If you haven't made much progress by the time we meet again, I'll give you a good beating! Understand?"
Seeing that the kid had grasped the basics a little, Jie was very satisfied.
But he still clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
It's as if he really "could bear" to beat someone up.
"ah…?"
Seeing that his third master looked like he wanted to beat him up, Mu Xingchen helplessly scratched the back of his neck.
"What? If you still can't master Shadow Cloak, I'll definitely beat you to a pulp!"
As he spoke, Jie couldn't help but punch the kid, though he didn't use much force.
"No, Master Jie, the prerequisite for mastering Shadow Cloak is that I have to become a shadow. How can a living person like me become a shadow? That's too difficult!"
Mu Xingchen didn't care about getting punched on the shoulder by that old rascal.
But he knew his own limitations; he genuinely didn't know how to transform into a shadow and disappear into the surrounding world.
All I can say is that it's like his Project armor.
Previously, he could use all of Shadow's abilities simply by wearing the Shadow Plan!
Now, relying on his own cultivation and development, he's completely clueless.
It's too hard for him.
"You idiot! If you can't turn into a shadow, why don't you just let the shadow attach itself to you?! Why are you so stubborn?!"
Upon hearing the kid complain that his Shadow skill was too difficult, Zed immediately became enraged!
He raised his hand and delivered a resounding flick to the forehead!
"Ah! Hiss! Master Jie, you're too ruthless! You're trying to blow my head off!"
After receiving a flick on the forehead from his third master, Mu Xingchen's forehead instantly turned red.
There were even faint signs of bulging.
The tangy sensation was truly unbearable for him.
I can't stop calling even if I don't want to.
"What a fucking idiot, he'll never get it unless you point it out."
Jie was furious and didn't care at all that Mu Xingchen was crying out in pain.
Instead, he sighed behind the mask.
He felt that the younger generation was getting worse with each generation.
He didn't have any teachers back then; he had to rely on himself for everything!
Now this kid has methods (formulas) that they've found for "him," but he still doesn't get it and wants to copy the answers!
Isn't this just trying to infuriate him?
"Alright, third brother, he's still young, it's normal that he doesn't understand for a while."
Seeing that his third brother was really angry, Feng had no choice but to come out and try to stop him.
After all, they were all leaving, so there was really no need to leave this kid injured.
He didn't want his apprentices complaining about them, these old guys, behind his back.
"Shadow Release is about attaching a shadow to your body. So, Master Feng, is your Wind Release about attaching a gust of wind to your body?"
Although Mu Xingchen was in pain, he dared not rub his forehead at this moment, for fear of leaving the bruises under the skin and forming a hematoma.
Therefore, the only thing to do is try to distract yourself to relieve the pain.
"Pretty much, but possessing the wind doesn't mean you summon a whirlwind to surround yourself. What you need to do is become the wind, not control it. Anyway, just practice hard. Since Third Brother was pushing you so hard, I won't. Just do as you said and let nature take its course."
The wind explained to his foolish apprentice at a leisurely pace.
Mainly because "he" had just been beaten, he was too embarrassed to force "him" to do anything else.
"Oh"
To be honest, Mu Xingchen still didn't quite understand what his Master Feng meant by becoming Feng.
But since his second master didn't intend to pressure him, he didn't press the matter further.
"Alright, now that everything's settled, we'll be going. You should go back and get some rest too."
After he finished speaking, the wind opened a blue void wormhole to the side.
They already looked like they wanted to leave.
"Oh? You're leaving today?"
Seeing that his master had even opened a wormhole, Mu Xingchen forgot about the pain.
His heart was filled with reluctance to part with his two masters (protectors).
"Whether you leave sooner or later, you've said what you needed to say. Just focus on your cultivation and don't slack off."
Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of age and weariness.
"Did you hear me? I told you to cultivate properly! Otherwise, I'll really teach you a lesson when I get back!"
No sooner had Feng finished speaking than Jie loudly interrupted him.
Coupled with his menacing mask with glowing red eyes, he exuded a truly threatening aura.
"I know, I know, I'll definitely practice hard."
Hearing his third master "threaten" him, Mu Xingchen inwardly curled his lip.
But he didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face.
"We're leaving"
As they were talking, Feng stepped into the blue wormhole, and Jie followed.
Then the wormhole vanished in a flash.
Seeing his two masters leave, Mu Xingchen suddenly felt empty inside.
After all, his two masters had only been back for a little over four months before leaving again; their stay was indeed short.
However, as the apprentice, he couldn't force his master to stay; he could only hope they would return soon.
After thinking it over, Mu Xingchen sighed and slowly walked towards the other end of the woods.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, Leng Ying came towards him.
"What happened to your forehead? How come there's such a big bruise? Did you bump it?"
Seeing the bruise on his forehead, she became a little anxious.
I quickly ran over and asked.
"No, my third master flicked me, and I didn't control the force properly."
Seeing the concern in her eyes, Mu Xingchen didn't try to hide anything and told the truth directly.
"Seriously, you have to be careful with your jokes. It's all swollen now."
Although he was injured by his master, Leng still couldn't help but complain.
Because he's her man.
She must be heartbroken to see him injured.
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore, they're all gone anyway."
Hearing her complain about his master, Mu Xingchen had no choice but to change the subject.
"Huh? They're gone?"
"Yeah, just left."
Mu Xingchen nodded and walked with her toward the end of the woods.
"Alright, anyway, Earth isn't in any immediate danger."
Leng knew that both the demon and the glutton had left the solar system, so he didn't pay much attention to the fate of his two "bodyguards."
"Hey? I'm going abroad on a mission in a few days. What about you? What are you planning to do?"
As Mu Xingchen walked, she suddenly remembered this matter and turned to ask the woman beside her.
"Of course I'll go with you!"
Leng responded in a tone that took it all for granted.
It seems she never intended to break up with him.
"We can go together, but you'll have to make do for a while."
Mu Xingchen did not refuse Leng, because he also wanted her to come with him.
Even though this would upset Qilin, he still had to find a way to quell the "hatred" between them.
If the two of them always stay apart, how can they become a family in the future?
