During the reconstruction work a year later.
Gu Chen obscured the perceptions of most people and once again stood amid the ruins of the Spirit Pagoda.
There was nothing in his heart worth saying, much less any cause for lament.
Although Leng Yaozhu had ordered the research and analysis of that drop of blood, those mad researchers...
How could they possibly obey so obediently?
That, too, was human greed.
It had not been beyond Gu Chen's expectations.
It was just that his arrival had ultimately failed to escape some people's notice.
Though he had not deliberately concealed himself, he was still rather surprised that the other party had detected him.
"So it was you. I thought you and that monster had..."
The voice sounded equally young.
But Gu Chen did not answer. Those Double Pupils swept over him as he acknowledged, "Pavilion Master Yun Ming."
"It has been a long time."
Hadn't it? It had been over a year. When he had fought that Chaos Monster back then, this projection had not emerged entirely unscathed.
After briefly greeting him, Gu Chen heard him continue.
"Also, you've underestimated me somewhat."
"That so-called 'mutual destruction' was merely the image I wanted to present."
It could even be said that without his tacit approval, how could this inexplicable disaster possibly have happened?
Even if it had happened.
It could not have plowed through the entire universe.
The Longma Galaxy on the other side had already shattered.
Without the Dragon Tomb drifting over and causing that strange chemical reaction.
It would not have been remarkable, but it would not have been particularly weak either.
Yet it had been chewed up like a snack by that Chaos Monster.
Just like the thing Gu Chen remembered.
So he simply called it a Chaos Monster as well.
