That day in the Beyond the Mist Star System, General Li had been gravely wounded by Xilai's "Shadow of Death," then finally killed by Jing Jiu using his own body as a cannon.
His last wish had been for his remains, along with the trace of "Oneness of All Things" left inside them, to be preserved. By rights, his remains should have been in a laboratory at the Alliance Academy of Sciences, or in a military laboratory he himself knew well. Who could have imagined that Chen Ya was carrying them with him?
General Li's Immortal Corpse possessed unimaginable value, as well as symbolic significance beyond any value. No one knew why Chen Ya had done this, or whether those Ascension Ones would have any objections. The question was, why had he brought out General Li's Immortal Corpse now?
Cao Yuan certainly knew who True Person Chunyang was, but he had never expected that this legendary immortal would already be dead the first time he saw him.
Looking at General Li's remains in the coffin, Chen Ya said expressionlessly, "By Chaotian Continent's reckoning, it has been nine thousand years since my ascension. He was my junior, but in truth, I always regarded him as my teacher, or rather, my spiritual guide. I once even believed he would never make a mistake, and would never die."
Cao Yuan understood what he meant to say and uttered the Buddha's name.
"If even he died, why can't Jing Jiu?" Chen Ya looked at him and said expressionlessly, "Even if he's still alive now, it's no different from being dead."
"I don't agree with that," Cao Yuan said. "In my view, even if every last one of us dies, Jingyang won't. But that isn't important. What exactly are you trying to tell me?"
