"That damned guy, it was definitely him!" Hong Yun clenched her fists, wishing she could kill Su Chen right now, but that thought remained just that—a thought. With a deep sigh, she reappeared outside the cabin, gazing at the endless darkness before her. "Hmph, you think you can get rid of me so easily? Not so easy! I'll fight you to the bitter end!"
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Hong Yun is also tough. She has endured two years of torment but did not choose to leave the Ark. She still chose to travel with Su Chen. However, she has gotten used to it. Whenever that sound is heard, she will naturally come to the cabin.
During this time, she discovered that Qin Zixuan's cultivation level had improved very quickly, having already broken through to the God King Fifth Stage. This puzzled Hong Yun, because she had never seen Qin Zixuan cultivate in the past two years. How had she improved her cultivation level?
Hong Yun was clever and quickly figured out the reason. Su Chen and Qin Zixuan were practicing dual cultivation, no wonder they did it every day. So, she must have interfered with their dual cultivation? After all, she was the one who wanted to hitch a ride. But Hong Yun didn't believe that. She just felt that Su Chen was trying to anger her and force her to leave, but she refused!
"Oh? It's over?" Hong Yun teased as she saw Su Chen and Qin Zixuan come out of the house.
Qin Zixuan blushed and lowered her head shyly. Hong Yun, however, sneered inwardly. Wasn't she shouting quite enthusiastically inside just now? Now she's putting on an act?
"It's been two years, when are you going to disembark?" Su Chen sat down on the sofa, picked up a divine fruit and started eating.
"It's still early, perhaps we're heading to the same place?" Hong Yun said.
"Oh? You know where we're going?" Su Chen said with a half-smile.
"Of course I don't know. I'm just saying, maybe we're going the same way, maybe, understand?" Hong Yun stood up, stretched, and looked at Su Chen. "So where are you going?"
"Why should I tell you?" Su Chen retorted.
"Hey, we've known each other for two years now, haven't we? Why didn't you tell me? What are you afraid of?" Hong Yun said.
"Then tell me first, where do you want to disembark?" Su Chen asked with a smile.
"I won't tell you!" Hong Yun turned her head away haughtily.
"Then I won't tell you either," Su Chen said.
"You!" Hong Yun was so angry she gritted her teeth.
Su Chen ignored her and continued eating the divine fruit, thinking to himself, "System, so many years have passed, and you still haven't told me my true identity."
[Once you become the Ruler, you will naturally know everything.]
The system responded.
" Ruler?" Su Chen frowned. "You want me to break through on my own?"
When the time is right, you will naturally break through.
The system said calmly.
"Timing?" Su Chen fell into deep thought...
Su Chen's ark continued its rapid journey. Hong Yun was completely numb, for she had been on this dilapidated ark for a full fifty years—fifty years! Yet, she still hadn't reached Su Chen's destination. She was puzzled. Su Chen was already Divine Lord; shouldn't he be able to go anywhere in an instant? Why did he insist on traveling on this broken ark?
She truly regretted boarding this ark. The Divine Palace was so much more comfortable. Not only did she have a divine pool to soak in every day, but she also had an endless supply of delicious food and was revered by countless beings. She didn't have to lift a finger to do anything.
"Ah, I really miss it." Hong Yun sighed, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. Should I leave? The thought had barely crossed her mind when she immediately shook her head. No, no, I've already endured fifty years, what's a little more? Besides, if I just leave like this, Su Chen will definitely laugh at me and think I've lost. So I absolutely can't leave, I have to keep going against him!
"This guy is really patient." Su Chen glanced at Hong Yun and shook his head. Actually, he didn't expect Hong Yun to be so stubborn, like a little girl. Sometimes he really doubted whether Hong Yun was really Divine Lord. She didn't act like Divine Lord at all.
"Hey, how much longer until we arrive?" Hong Yun asked coldly.
"Where to?" Su Chen asked with a smile.
"What do you think?" Hong Yun stared intently at Su Chen, not believing that Su Chen didn't know why she hadn't disembarked yet.
"Twenty years." Su Chen stopped teasing Hong Yun and said directly.
"I just don't understand. You're a dignified Divine Lord Realm, can't you just think of where you want to go? Why do you have to take the Ark?" Hong Yun almost broke down when she heard that there were still twenty years left.
"Anyway, I have plenty of time; I don't have the time," Su Chen said with a faint smile.
"I think you're not right in the head," Hong Yun said, then got up and went back to her room.
"Decades have passed, and you two are still the same." Qin Zixuan, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said.
"Why did she have to come and interfere with our time alone?" Su Chen said Youyou, lying on Qin Zixuan's lap.
"Pfft!" Qin Zixuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, then asked curiously, "Chen, will it really take us another twenty years to get to Earth?"
"It won't take that long," Su Chen shook his head.
"Then why did you tell Hong Yun that it would take another twenty years?" Qin Zixuan was stunned.
"I was just kidding," Su Chen said with a smile.
"You bastard!" Hong Yun, who was inside the room, heard their conversation clearly. Her angry voice made Fang Zhou tremble. Then, Hong Yun stormed out of the room.
"Why are you eavesdropping? Is this something Divine Lord would do?" Su Chen remained calm, but was utterly speechless.
"You lied to me! I haven't even said you were coming, and you're already talking about me?" Hong Yun was furious.
"Alright, alright, is that enough about my question? There's only one year left." Su Chen was too lazy to argue with Hong Yun, so he simply told her the actual arrival time.
Hearing that it would only take a year to reach the destination, Hong Yun's anger subsided considerably. She gave a soft hum and then fell into thought. She had just heard Qin Zixuan say that Su Chen was going to Earth. Earth? What kind of place was that? She had no recollection of it at all. After all, the Great Void Universe was too vast, and there were some planets that even she had never heard of.
What's this guy doing on Earth? Does that planet hold some secret? No, if it really did hold some secret, he wouldn't be taking such Youyou to get there. So why is he going? Hong Yun frowned, unable to figure it out.
"Don't think about it. It's just an ordinary little planet, nothing special," Su Chen suddenly said.
"Who would have thought that? I didn't." Hong Yun snapped out of her reverie, pouted, and went back inside.
After Hong Yun returned to the house, Su Chen began telling Qin Zixuan about Earth. He didn't use telepathy or lower his voice, so Hong Yun, inside the house, heard him talking about Earth. The more Hong Yun, the more curious she became about what Earth was, and a sense of anticipation gradually grew in her heart...
