"Brother, wasn't I amazing? I got first place!" Su Jianxi threw herself into Su Chen's arms, looked up, and a proud smile appeared on her face.
Lin Fan and the others remained silent. Ever since they heard about that great calamity, their mood had been the same. They wondered how they would face it when it truly came, and whether they could really withstand it.
The beings in the God Realm are far too powerful. Just the number of those at the Transcendence Realm alone is incomparable to that of Canglan Star, not to mention that there are beings in the God Realm who are even above the Transcendence Realm!
If such a being were to arrive, Canglan Star would be utterly powerless to resist and would only be unilaterally slaughtered. What would the future hold? The Human Heart were filled with unease, and their morale was low. Apart from Su Jianxi and Su Chen, no one could manage a smile.
"My Jianxi is the best!" Su Chen glanced at Lin Fan and the others, then looked away, reached out and stroked Su Jianxi's head, speaking softly.
"Master, can we really protect Canglan Star?" Jianxin asked first.
The Human Heart immediately tensed up, their eyes fixed on Su Chen, awaiting his answer.
"I believe you can do it," Su Chen said.
"But we really don't have that confidence," Jianxin said bitterly.
"Yes, the enemy is just too strong," Ye Ningshuang said.
"So, just because the enemy is strong, you're going to give up resisting?" Su Chen countered.
"Of course not, we just don't know how to fight them," Youyue said.
"Strive to cultivate and become stronger," Su Chen said calmly.
Everyone's hearts sank. Of course, they knew that their main goal now was to cultivate and increase their strength, but they didn't have much time left. Breaking through to the Immortal Emperor level in such a short time was already their limit. And they had to know that they would be facing Transcendence powerhouses above the Immortal Emperor level!
The terror of the Transcendence Realm is something even Immortal Emperor cannot contend with. Therefore, unless they can break through to the Transcendence, they will have no chance of stopping those powerful beings from the God Realm!
Even if they possessed monstrous talent for cultivation, unmatched among their generation, it would be impossible for them to break through to Transcendence in such a short time unless they used a cheat code. However, they did not have a cheat code, so they could only cultivate and break through honestly.
"Master, will you intervene then?" Lin Fan suddenly asked.
This is the question that everyone is most concerned about. They have witnessed Su Chen's power firsthand, and it is far beyond Transcendence Realm can compare to. They even believe that no one in the God King Realm could possibly be a match for Su Chen!
Therefore, as long as Su Chen is willing to take action, those powerful figures from the God Realm will be insignificant!
"Sigh." Su Chen sighed softly, glancing at everyone, especially Lin Fan and Jianxin. After a few more seconds, he continued, "I knew you would come to me for help, but have you ever considered how you will grow if I solve all your problems? Will I have to clear all the obstacles you encounter in the future?"
Every word Su Chen uttered pierced the Human Heart. Lin Fan and Jianxin felt even more distressed, silently lowering their heads and refusing to meet Su Chen's gaze.
Indeed, they had agreed not to rely on Su Chen anymore, but whenever they encountered difficulties, their first thought was that Su Chen would appear to save and help them, never seriously considering facing the situation alone.
At this moment, Lin Fan and Jianxin felt extremely ashamed and didn't know how to face Su Chen.
Watching this scene, Su Jianxi shook her head inwardly. As Divine Lord in her previous life, she knew that to become a true strong person, one must never rely on anyone, otherwise, it would create dependency.
Once you become addicted to dependence, you'll always expect others to help you when faced with difficulties or desperate situations, instead of thinking about solving them on your own. If that's the case, it will be very difficult for you to become a strong person in the future.
"Alright, I'll make my move then," Su Chen suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, then suddenly looked at Su Chen with excitement and anticipation on their faces, "Really?"
Only Lin Fan and Jianxin couldn't bring themselves to smile.
Su Jianxi looked up at Su Chen, a hint of doubt and confusion in her eyes.
"Yes, but I hope you can break through to the Immortal Emperor soon, so as not to disappoint me," Su Chen said calmly, nodding.
"Yes, we will definitely be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm before the great calamity arrives!" the group said firmly.
"Hmm." Su Chen nodded, then his gaze fell on Lin Fan. "Get ready. When we return to the academy, I will announce that you will be the dean from now on. Alright, you may all leave. We'll go back tomorrow."
"Understood." Lin Fan and the others nodded, clasped their hands in a salute, and then left.
After they had completely left, Su Jianxi said, "Brother, are you really going to make a move?"
"Isn't there no other way?" Su Chen smiled slightly.
Su Jianxi pondered for a moment, then said, "Indeed, on Canglan Star now, besides you taking action, I really don't know who else can stop those powerful figures from the God Realm. However, won't doing this make them dependent on you?"
"No," Su Chen said decisively.
"Isn't that certain?" Su Jianxi frowned. She knew very well that once a dependency was formed, it would be very difficult to change.
"After the great calamity, they won't rely on me anymore. Trust me," Su Chen said with a smile.
Su Jianxi didn't speak. For some reason, she had a bad feeling, as if she would lose something later.
"Alright, stop overthinking. You must be tired after so many days of fighting. Go back and rest. We'll head back to the academy tomorrow," Su Chen said softly.
"No, I want to stay here with my brother." Su Jianxi clung tightly to Su Chen's arms, unwilling to leave.
"Alright." Su Chen smiled helplessly, and then chatted with Su Jianxi. As they chatted, Su Jianxi gradually felt sleepy, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Su Chen looked at Su Jianxi in his arms, a faint smile on his face, but slowly, a trace of reluctance appeared in the smile.
[Actually, there are other ways, there's no need to do this.] Suddenly, the system voice sounded.
"I've made up my mind. There's no need to say anything more. When that day comes, I'll rely on you." Su Chen shook his head slightly and said.
[Sigh.] The system sighed deeply and said nothing more.
Lin Fan and Jianxin walked side by side until they arrived at a lake. Neither of them spoke, both appearing preoccupied.
"I feel that Master is very disappointed in us." As the evening glow appeared on the horizon, casting its light upon the earth and revealing a beautiful scene, Jianxin suddenly spoke.
"Did you feel it too?" Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Ah, it seems this wasn't just my imagination," Jianxin said.
