Leaving Suonsai

Seeing the 10 figures of Luo Zhiyuan opposite her, Ai Chen knew there was absolutely no possibility of winning. Two figures had already been enough to completely suppress her, and now there were 10. This...

A look of stubbornness appeared on her face as Ai Chen bit her lower lip with her small, silver-white canine teeth.

Taking a long breath, she prepared to experience this miraculous secret technique firsthand once more.

Ai Chen charged forward without hesitation, her long sword dancing in her hands as she unleashed a series of force attacks like white ribbons, pouring them toward Luo Zhiyuan.

Watching Ai Chen charge at him with such a resolute attitude, Luo Zhiyuan split his 10 figures into an arc, then raised the three-meter Lightning Shuttle in his hand and fired it toward the approaching Ai Chen.

The 10 white flashes dodged the force attacks, converged into a single point in front of Ai Chen, and then exploded.

Even though Ai Chen once again utilized her defensive-offensive combat secret technique with its protective barrier, it failed to block the attack of the Lightning Shuttle this time.

Amidst a blooming cocoon of white light and a thunderous roar, Luo Zhiyuan sent Ai Chen out of the Battle Space.

Inside the Suonsai Secret Realm.

Ai Chen turned to look at Luo Zhiyuan. The crystal between her brows flickered rapidly with an increasingly bright light, and her large eyes were filled with an intimidating brilliance as she said excitedly:

"All 10 of those attacks just now were real. Is this the power of the Law of Time manifested at a deeper level?"

"My comprehension of the Law of Time has always been vague; I could only manage to create minor temporal interference. Now, I have finally managed to capture a different manifestation of the law!"

"Those Radiance Stones were well worth the trade! I will cherish the remaining nine battles!"

This was completely different from what Luo Zhiyuan had expected. He had thought this battle would severely damage Ai Chen's confidence, but it had unexpectedly stirred her fighting spirit instead.

Bulieni suddenly said, "Kid Luo, this little silly girl has a good temperament and will, and her talent is decent too. She has the potential to become a powerhouse. With proper guidance, there is hope for her to break through to the Immortal level."

"I think you should interact with her more; don't limit yourself to just a few battles."

Luo Zhiyuan asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because aside from me and your family, you don't have any peers to communicate with. And you just fused with the soul memories of several people; I'm afraid it will create a burden on your soul, which would be extremely detrimental to your mental growth."

Luo Zhiyuan replied to Bulieni in a muffled voice, "Ah, that doesn't matter. My mental cultivation has never relaxed; these memories cannot affect me."

"I'm currently trying to figure out how to welch on my debt."

Bulieni was puzzled: "Welch? Why? Even if your state of mind isn't affected, interacting more with talented peers is beneficial to your growth."

Luo Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Because I happen to know a small part of her future historical trajectory."

"She will rank among the best in the Genius Tournament in a few years and will enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company for training, but I don't know how high her ultimate achievements will be."

"Although the probability of disciples in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company falling is very high—95%—what if, as you said, she eventually breaks through to the Immortal level? If I accidentally affect her historical trajectory, will it cause negative consequences, and will I suffer along with her?"

Bulieni laughed dismissively: "I thought it was something serious; is that it? No need to worry."

"Why?"

"Think about what the Old Mystic said back then. He told you not to try to intervene and change the 'major events' destined to happen. What is a 'major event'? Only things involving the development of the race or the universe count as major events. Only if you change those will the Origin Law of the Universe take action to punish or eliminate you."

"Do you think this little silly girl could be a key figure involving the development of the race or the universe?"

Luo Zhiyuan shook his head.

Bulieni continued, "Even if she reaches the Immortal level, if you affect her historical trajectory, yes, it will produce negative consequences, but whether those negative consequences have anything to do with you is another matter."

"The Old Mystic did plenty of things to interfere with historical trajectories back in the day; otherwise, how would he have concluded that the Immortal level is a boundary?"

"Those negative consequences mostly appear around the person being changed. The closer the relationship with the person being changed, the more obvious the impact. Look, didn't he suffer no consequences?"

"As for eventually saving Alo and getting implicated, that was because the relationship between their group of natural God Beasts was too special, so they couldn't escape punishment no matter what."

Huu~

Luo Zhiyuan let out a long breath, his expression instantly clearing of conflict: "Oh, so that's how it is. You told me to repair my father's historical trajectory because we are father and son, right? Affecting his trajectory would definitely cause negative consequences that would impact me, wouldn't it?"

"Exactly, that's how it works!"

Ai Chen watched as Luo Zhiyuan ignored her words and instead had his expression changing constantly, which she found strange. She pointed a small finger at his face and asked, "Hey, Zhiyuan, are you okay? Why do you look so strange?"

Luo Zhiyuan snapped out of it and gave an awkward smile, saying, "Oh, my auxiliary light brain is an intelligent life form. It said you have great combat talent and suggested I spar with you more so we can both promote our growth. So, you wouldn't mind sparring with me more, would you?"

Ai Chen's large eyes lit up, and the crystal between her brows suddenly brightened: "That's great! Of course I don't mind!"

"I haven't had a suitable sparring partner for a long time. My peers in my family at the same level are no match for me, so I usually just practice with virtual warriors in the virtual universe."

"Zhiyuan, you are stronger than me right now, but I will definitely catch up to you. You better be careful and don't let me surpass you, or I'll be without an opponent again!"

Looking at Ai Chen's unprovoked confidence, Luo Zhiyuan muttered to himself, Naive, she really is a silly girl.

Afraid of catching her silliness, Luo Zhiyuan decided to head home quickly and stay away from Ai Chen.

"Ai Chen, my training mission is about to end. As long as I safely bring the ten Radiance Stones back to Radiance City, it will be considered complete. Then I'll return to Qingyu Planet. Let's keep in touch in the virtual universe."

Nodding her small head readily, Ai Chen waved and said, "Okay, I need a few days to digest the battle I just had with you, and then I'll find you in the virtual universe."

After saying this, Ai Chen very decisively used the Light Imperial Technique again to conceal her figure.

After sensing that Ai Chen had left, Luo Zhiyuan also set off to return to Radiance City.

On the way back, Luo Zhiyuan slowed his pace. Instead of flying at high speed, he traveled as if on a journey, enjoying his first trip to a Universe Secret Realm. He walked and stopped, almost wishing he could take out his phone to take pictures like in his past life.

On the road back to Radiance City, Luo Zhiyuan contacted Nizade once. After clarifying the coordinates of their team, he took a detour to visit the team that had left a good impression on him.

Upon arriving at the location of Nizade's team, Nizade let out a hearty laugh at him: "Hahaha, brother, you've become famous here in the Suonsai Secret Realm!"

"You snatched three Radiance Stones at once and took out over 50 adventurers. If I hadn't seen the video recorded by someone who luckily survived, I wouldn't have known you were so capable, brother!"

Luo Zhiyuan scratched his cheek and said sheepishly, "No wonder all the adventurers I ran into on the way here were avoiding me like the plague. So, I've become famous, haha."

"What kind of capability do I have? I was forced into it by my teacher. I didn't tell you at the time, but my trial has a time limit. If I don't finish it in time, the consequences will be very serious."

"So, when I saw those three Radiance Stones there, I just went all out and risked my life. Fortunately, they weren't as tough as me, hehe."

Nizade laughed and said, "Brother, don't be modest. Even if our brothers ran into that, we wouldn't have the ability to snatch them."

Luo Zhiyuan didn't dwell on the topic anymore. He took a Radiance Stone out of his World Ring, handed it to Nizade, and said, "Here, this is a Radiance Stone. I'm giving it to you all as a souvenir. My trial mission is complete, and I need to rush back to continue my cultivation, so I won't be able to stay with you any longer."

Nizade looked at the Radiance Stone in his hand with a look of deep emotion. He called over all his brothers, including Buxinmu, and had everyone thank Luo Zhiyuan for helping them fulfill a long-standing regret.

Returning to Radiance City, he entered through the massive gate. After declining requests to purchase his Radiance Stones, Luo Zhiyuan led his personal guards onto the spaceship and set off to return to Qingyu Planet.

On the way back to Qingyu Planet, Luo Zhiyuan logged into the Virtual Universe with an anonymous account to communicate with the Luo Family again. He received some great news: Xu Xin had reached her due date, and his twin brothers would be born within these next few days!

Luo Zhiyuan was overjoyed to hear this news. Of course, he told his family he was happy to have younger brothers, but in reality, it meant he could correct the historical trajectory; he no longer had to worry about causing negative effects that might implicate him.

In the original historical trajectory, Luo Feng's descendants had produced true god-level powerhouses. If Luo Feng had no descendants because of Luo Zhiyuan's appearance, then unless he was willing to have children himself, there was no way the Origin Law of the Universe would let him off the hook.

Now that his twin brothers were about to be born, it meant that Luo Feng would still have many descendants. The impact on the future would be almost negligible, so Luo Zhiyuan could continue living his carefree life.

However, to ensure his brothers could grow up strong and work hard to produce more descendants, should he send them some supplements as a gift?

PS: I didn't originally intend to explain the issue of affecting the historical trajectory in such detail; it was meant to be a small piece of foreshadowing that would be used in later plot points. However, I noticed that quite a few readers seemed to have questions, so I wove the explanation into the text. To be honest, I thought I had explained it quite clearly before, but it seems you all aren't reading carefully, haha.

Also, my brothers, the collection counts and recommendation votes are pitifully low. At this rate, I don't know when I'll get the next honor of three thousand collections! There are no recommendations next week either, and although this week's recommendations didn't show much growth, it would have at least looked better on the surface.

I ask for your support, thank you!
