Heavenly Dao!

"Who?!"

A burst of black lightning appeared, and an old man materialized before the Lord of Flesh and Blood and the priest.

The old man was dressed in a black robe, with long hair flowing in the wind. His eyes were pitch black, but his pupils were deathly white. He was surrounded by black lightning like fire, and his aura as a peak fifth-order cultivator came rushing towards us!

"The I Ching?"

The priest, dressed in yellow, stared blankly at the old man before him and asked.

However, the old man gave him a strange look after hearing his words.

"The Book of Changes?" Number 0 17: The Way of Heaven "The Book of Changes is long gone; I am the Way of Heaven."

The Way of Heaven?

The two were both taken aback, and then they saw Heavenly Dao Yi Jing walk out into the treasure vault with his hands behind his back and a burst of black lightning.

"It's still the same here as before. Have 009 and the others returned?"

The Book of Changes turns to ask the question about the Heavenly Dao Yi Jing.

The priest and the Lord of Flesh and Blood exchanged a glance, and then recounted everything that had happened after they left.

After hearing this, Heavenly Dao Yi Jing's expression suddenly turned strange. "So, 009 and the others didn't escape from the third dimension. Strange..."

The priest, dragging his enormous body in his yellow robe, stepped forward. "Now, within the Chaos Empire, besides the two of us, only Otto remains."

"The disappearance of the boss and the others could no longer be kept secret. The Lord of the Red Flow, or rather, the Sea King, had already begun to stir."

"The Lord of the Red Flow has already begun his actions. Although I have ways to deal with him, the Crimson Stream's body is boundless. If he doesn't want to confront me directly, I have no way to deal with him."

The Heavenly Dao Yi Jing's eyes flashed, "Who is now in charge of the chaotic situation?"

The priest said, "With no one in charge, Otto is now in charge of all affairs of the Empire, while I focus on dealing with other orders."

"But judging from your appearance, you... have evolved again?"

The Heavenly Dao Yi Jing are not given to being smiled upon; "This is also something we have to do out of necessity."

"If I don't evolve, I won't be able to escape from the Mental Dimension, and even if I do escape, I've now returned to a sealed state."

"Fortunately, there are only seventy years left before the fifth-tier stage ends."

"I'll leave this time to you all. After seventy years, I will take over all affairs. For the next seventy years, I will stay behind and oversee the overall situation."

"If 009 can't come back, then someone has to take charge."

The priest fell into deep thought. Indeed, if 009 didn't return, they would be a disorganized mess, each fighting their own battles.

Otto and his group were like this: each doing their own thing, and no one could convince or command anyone else.

The current situation definitely requires someone to step forward and take charge of the overall situation.

Since Yi Jing has reached the peak of the fifth rank, he is indeed the best candidate, and they will need more fifth-rank combat power for the storm seventy years later.

The priest was confident that he could advance to the fifth rank in seventy years, but as a Fifth Tier Lower Rank being, he might not be able to defeat those who were already at the fifth rank.

It can be said that the return of the I Ching was a shot in the arm for the priest.

"Then our future is in your hands."

Upon arriving on the surface of the Chaos Empire, before Heavenly Dao Yi Jing could even meet Otto, Otto took the initiative to come to him.

But Otto did not come for him.

"I found 009."

"What?!"

This news caused a huge uproar, like a depth charge.

Where is the boss?

Otto: "The earliest news came from the Eastern Continent. It is said that a white-haired man single-handedly defeated the Elf Empire."

"Later, he killed nine Giant Kings and the Titan God. Some people saw him use his powers to merge the corpses into his own body."

"Ultimately, someone confirmed that it was 009. After learning the news, 004 went all out to kill the person who resembled 009."

"But she failed. That man had the strength of a fifth-tier expert and was also carrying a Black Spear. He was a commander of the Longwu Empire Wei Jiu."

The priest stepped forward excitedly, "This is no longer just a suspicion, it's the boss!"

Otto nodded. "Judging from all the characteristics, it can certainly be said that it is 009, but... that's not entirely true."

"First of all, he never claimed to be 009; on the contrary, he kept emphasizing that he was Wei Jiu. So I made a hypothesis."

"He may not be 009, but he is definitely connected to 009."

Priest: "Where is he now? By the way, is there any news about anyone else?"

Otto: "We don't have any news about the others yet. As for that person, he came to the Western Continent years ago, but he has been lingering on the edge of the Western Continent ever since."

"According to the information I've gathered, that person has been searching for the remnants of various gods, such as the Wolf King and the White Walkers. Many sequences, though out of the game, still have remnants remaining in the world."

"He has been absorbing the power of those survivors, but he has not come to see us yet, which is the most worrying thing."

"So I secretly monitored him for a while, but I was exposed several times. However, I still obtained a lot of valuable information."

"First of all, based on my observation, although that person's behavior is similar to 009's, he is actually completely different from 009."

"He observes certain behaviors and attitudes as if he's seeing them for the first time."

Priest: "Could it be amnesia?"

Otto: "That's possible."

As the two were talking, Heavenly Dao Yi Jing suddenly stood up and said, "Have you overlooked something? That's a fifth-order cultivator. If it's a sequence cultivator, why can he still move around freely in the arena?"

"If it's amnesia, then this won't change anything."

Heavenly Dao Yi Jing's gaze sharpened. "Some things are better thought of from the opposite perspective. Is it possible that someone possessed 009's body, or rather, devoured his abilities and soul?"

"Although that person has 009's memories and abilities, he is not 009."

Otto: "That is indeed a possibility, and in fact, I have calculated the probability of this situation."

"I..."

Sizzle.

Before Otto could finish speaking, his mechanical eyes suddenly dimmed, and his mechanical body suddenly knelt down as if it had lost its soul.

The priest frowned. "What's wrong? Is the power out?"

The Heavenly Dao Yi Jing gazed at Otto, "Perhaps. After all, machines are bound to make mistakes. I'll go to his lab and take a look."

The Heavenly Dao Yi Jing arrived at Otto's laboratory and easily passed through the security-equipped door.

But Otto isn't here.

The Heavenly Dao Yi Jing walked through the laboratory corridor to a room, which was the containment chamber for the ancient consciousness entity, Elon.

Heavenly Dao Yi Jing reached out and activated the power source beside him, and Elon woke up.

The Heavenly Dao Yi Jing reached out and grabbed Yi Long's vessel, the sphere, saying, "I've let you stay here for so long, it's time for you, this piece of scrap metal, to shine."

"I believe you are a smart person."

Have you already dealt with Otto?

Then we could indeed collaborate.
