Departure

A being of Venerable status had actually appeared on this tiny planet, and he even intended to take him on as a disciple.

"I am willing! Master, please accept this disciple's kowtow!" Sett did not hesitate; he knelt on both knees and spoke repeatedly.

"Hehe, although I am willing to take you as a disciple, my disciple is not so easy to be," Zhenyuan Venerable laughed.

"To be my disciple, the first step is to leave your planet and wander the universe with me. Are you willing to leave your home and leave this planet?"

I am not originally from this world; heaven has already given me a chance by letting me transmigrate here. But I am not a Spirit Reader, so I cannot obtain the inheritance of Yunmo Planet, and naturally, I have no chance to seize the body of the Golden Horned Beast.

Although my initial thought was to cling to Luo Feng's thigh, there is now a much thicker thigh to hold, at least for the moment.

A Venerable is far, far more powerful than that dead Hu Yanbo, Sett thought to himself.

Seeing that Sett did not reply immediately, Zhenyuan Venerable was not in a hurry and continued watching the soap opera.

For a Venerable, life is eternal, so naturally, he is not in a hurry for a little time. To them, a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even a hundred million years is nothing but a fleeting moment.

And many things on this planet interested Zhenyuan Venerable, so he just walked around to take a look.

"I am willing to follow in your footsteps, Master!" Sett replied after thinking for a while.

"Since you are willing, that is naturally very good." Zhenyuan Venerable smiled and continued, "Of course, I will not force you. I will stay on Earth for a while longer and take you away in half a month."

"Thank you, Master." Sett said quickly.

"I didn't say I am your master yet. To be my disciple, there are still many trials waiting for you, hehe." After saying this, Zhenyuan Venerable disappeared, leaving only Sett kneeling on the ground.

With only half a month left, Sett decided to walk around here properly.

He had only been in this world for a few months, yet he was already leaving, so he decided to bid a proper farewell to this place.

After all, for a being like a Venerable, anything they do spans endless years; he did not know when he would return next.

In the evening, the three of them ate dinner, and Sett seemed absent-minded, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

After eating, he helped Jin Wenying clean up the dishes and chatted with her about daily life.

Then, he accompanied Xia Hai to watch a TV series.

The next day, Sett decided to see Luo Feng.

In this world, Sett did not have many friends; Luo Feng was the best among them, and there was also Yang Wu.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Sett seemed to have something on his mind, Luo Feng asked quickly.

"Nothing much, just walk with me," Sett said.

Luo Feng guessed that Sett had something on his mind, so he naturally accompanied him for a walk, waiting for him to speak.

The two walked around the martial artist residential area once, then went out the main gate and walked along the street.

"Tell me, what do you think we are striving to become stronger for?" Sett asked.

Luo Feng paused, fell silent for a moment, and said, "To become stronger is for oneself, for one's family, and even for all of humanity. This world needs heroes, and someone must always step forward."

"Then tell me, if one day we could walk out of this planet and enter the universe, would you still pursue the path of a martial artist?" Sett continued to ask.

"Of course. No matter where we go, only if one has enough strength can one call the shots for oneself," Luo Feng said.

The two talked for a long time before parting ways. Luo Feng went to train, but Sett could not muster the energy.

He did not know if this decision was good or bad. Having been an ordinary person in his previous life, in the blink of an eye, he had reached such a realm.

Although he had once wanted to see the universe, now that the time had truly come, he felt lost.

For the past few days, Sett had been feeling somewhat dazed.

Forget it, let everything take its natural course. Good people have their own heaven-sent luck; I have four Innate Secret Techniques, so what am I afraid of? Sett finally thought to himself.

Leaving a letter for his family, Sett departed with Zhenyuan Venerable.

"Sett, Sett, are you there? It's time to eat," Jin Wenying called out to Sett.

But there was no sign of Sett in the entire villa. Usually, if Sett went out and was not home for dinner, he would tell her.

Not finding him today made Jin Wenying very surprised.

She opened the door to Sett's room and saw a letter on the bed. Jin Wenying quickly picked it up and read it.

"I'm leaving. Some things are beyond my control.

This universe is full of dangers and opportunities. A being with transcendent power is taking me to the universe.

There is a secret that makes me very troubled, but I have decided to leave it in this letter.

I am not the Sett from before; I come from another Earth. Perhaps it can be explained by parallel universes, but I come from the year 2020 of another Earth.

The RR Virus never happened there, and everything was normal.

But I suddenly appeared here. My soul and my thoughts descended upon 'Sett', and I became Sett.

You are all very kind, and I truly regard you as my parents.

Thank you for this period of time. If there is a chance in the future, I will come back."

After reading the letter, Jin Wenying was very shocked.

"Old Xia, Old Xia, come quickly and look."

The couple looked at each other after reading the letter Sett had left behind.

"No wonder I felt something was off with this kid."

The money earned from going out to hunt monsters had also been given to the two of them, totaling over 300 million Chinese Yuan, enough to last them for a very, very long time.

"Luo Feng, I'm leaving. The universe is so vast, and I want to go see it.

Expose the secret of you being a Spirit Reader sooner; let the higher-ups at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall know your talent. Your stage is not limited to Earth." Sett had also left a letter for Luo Feng when he departed.

Outside of Earth, a spaceship over one hundred kilometers long suddenly appeared.

Zhenyuan Venerable brought Sett directly into the cockpit of this massive vessel.

"When traveling abroad, one naturally needs to enjoy themselves. A larger spaceship is quite necessary," Zhenyuan Venerable remarked.

"External view simulation."

Soon, the other items in the cockpit vanished, becoming transparent. Behind them, a blue planet appeared dazzlingly bright.

Sett looked at the planet, feeling a sense of loss in his heart, wondering when he would be able to see it again.

"Depart! Head to Zhenyun Planet," Zhenyuan Venerable ordered.

The massive spaceship suddenly accelerated, and soon an electronic voice rang out.

"About to enter the Dark Universe, 10, 9, 8, 7..."

Sett looked outside; his naked eye could no longer see the planet clearly. The surrounding starry sky became completely blurred, eventually fading into darkness.

What a strange feeling, Sett thought.

"Beep, entering the Dark Universe."

The massive spaceship, which had been traveling rapidly through the starry sky, vanished the moment it reached the speed of light, following a ripple in space.

It wasn't a disappearance caused by reaching the speed of light and becoming invisible to the naked eye; it had truly vanished from this universe.

The spaceship vibrated slightly, and the surroundings turned pitch black.

"The universe we usually see is called the Original Universe, and we have now arrived in the Dark Universe. The coordinates of the two universes correspond to each other.

However, the ratio between the Dark Universe and the Original Universe is 1 to 10.081 million," Zhenyuan Venerable explained while sitting on a sofa, sipping fine wine.

Sett was secretly shocked. It meant that traveling one light-year in the Dark Universe was equivalent to being 10.081 million light-years away in the Original Universe.

"In the Original Universe, objects cannot break the speed of light. Once they do, they enter the Dark Universe. The Dark Universe has no speed limit; the more powerful the spaceship, the faster it can go. My ship travels at about 50 times the speed of light, which is enough for traveling through the universe.

Of course, to leave the Dark Universe, you only need to come to a stop, and you will appear directly in the Original Universe."

"When I first started traveling the universe, I was just like you, eyes wide open, everything felt fresh. But after a while, you'll realize it's nothing special," Zhenyuan Venerable said, being somewhat talkative.

"It will take 40 days to reach Zhenyun Planet, which is the closest planet to here. Once we arrive, I will explain the conditions for becoming my disciple."

Zhenyuan Venerable picked up a wine glass and filled it from the massive bottle beside him. He held it out to Sett and said, "Since you are willing to follow me, consider this glass of wine a welcoming gift."

Sett knew that any wine from a Venerable couldn't be simple, so he quickly took the glass.

Sett estimated the glass held about a liter. Without the slightest hesitation, he poured it into his mouth and gulped it down.

So refreshing, Sett exclaimed after finishing it. He savored the lingering taste of the wine, though he regretted not sipping it slowly, he thought to himself.

Then, with a thud, he collapsed to the floor, unconscious.

"Sigh, what a waste. How can anyone drink wine like that?" Zhenyuan Venerable said as he watched Sett fall to the ground.
