Gather Up, Set Off!

"I know that. It seems Huang Lingheng, who obtained the Chaos Forbidden Domain quota from the Night Organization, has disappeared. We're about to go to the Chaos Forbidden Domain, but he's gone. How can we not be worried?"

A voice came from behind Shen Hui Shen Hui and Ye Long. They turned around and saw that the speaker was Zhuge Hongjing, who had walked over.

What are you doing on our side?

Shen Hui couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhuge Hongjing there. After all, they all came from their respective regions, but Zhuge Hongjing wasn't from their Water District, but from the Wood District.

"I had some business to attend to in the Water District recently, so I've been staying here for the past few days."

Zhuge Hongjing answered calmly, showing no signs of losing confidence in front of Shen Hui despite his previous defeat.

Shen Hui didn't care about any of that; after all, Zhuge Hongjing was practically a friend.

Ye Long hadn't even considered that possibility, and he wasn't particularly concerned about Zhuge Hongjing's presence; instead, he was focused on the events unfolding before his eyes.

"Hehe, so that's how it is. He finally got a spot and then didn't show up. Is Huang Lingheng out of his mind?"

"Brother Shen, you're practically a member of the Night Organization, you know Huang Lingheng, right? Are you really out of your mind?"

Ye Long's question left Shen Hui somewhat embarrassed.

"Um... it's not exactly a problem, but it's not without problems either."

While Ye Long was still pondering the meaning of Shen Hui's answer, Shen Hui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it anymore, let's go."

Ye Long nodded subconsciously and walked towards the Lord of Night, clearly wanting to watch the excitement.

However, Shen Hui immediately grabbed his hand. "Hey, hey, we've gone the wrong way. We need to go find the president to report."

Ye Long turned to Shen Hui and asked, "Hmm? Aren't you going to go check on him? After all, he's practically your boss."

Shen Hui shook his head. "No, there's nothing to see."

Shen Hui pulled Ye Long and walked towards Chi Yan. Zhuge Hongjing, who was standing behind Shen Hui, looked thoughtful and followed Shen Hui and the others towards Chi Yan.

However, Shen Hui, who had intended to avoid the Lord of Night, still couldn't escape. He had just walked a short distance forward when...

Immediately, several voices called out, "Hey, hey, it's Boss Shen Hui!"

"Boss Shen Hui, we're here!"

"Lord of Night, Shen Hui is here. Why don't you ask him if he knows?"

Upon hearing the voices, Shen Hui knew they belonged to the pre-selected individuals from Hong Ye.

Shen Hui initially wanted to pretend he didn't hear, but Ye Long beside him stopped and looked in that direction.

"Brother Shen, is someone looking for you? Your underling in the Night Organization?"

Shen Hui stopped, rubbing his forehead, and looked over. Those people were waving at him, and the Lord of Night was also walking towards them. He could only manage an awkward smile and ask:

"Lord of Night, what's wrong?"

"Huang Lingheng and Leng Zimeng have both disappeared. Do you know where they went?"

The Lord of Night was in a huff, but he tempered himself a bit when facing Shen Hui.

Shen Hui immediately replied, "I didn't know that. I thought Huang Lingheng had already arrived, and I was planning to set off from here with him."

The Lord of Night stared at Shen Hui, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You really don't know?"

Shen Hui shook his head. "He doesn't report to me where he's going. Maybe he really doesn't want to go?"

"He said he wouldn't go before, so maybe he really doesn't want to hide anymore."

The Lord of Night stared at Shen Hui, wanting to ask something more, but at that moment, Chi Yan's voice came over.

"Lord of Night, we're about to depart. If you haven't arrived yet, that's fine. Huang Lingheng isn't the only one in your organization."

Hearing this, Shen Hui quickly nodded. "Yes, I'm also a member of the organization. Even if Huang Lingheng isn't here, there's still me, hehe."

The Lord of Night sighed helplessly, but then his expression turned fierce. "That brat, if he appeared in front of me, I'd beat him to death!"

Shen Hui felt a pang of heartache for Huang Lingheng as he listened. Even if Huang Lingheng were his son, let alone the Lord of Night, he could probably do such a thing.

Although Huang Lingheng is missing, there will be no substitute for the vacant position.

Chi Yan began leading Shen Hui and the others to the assembly point. Chi Yan, who was walking in front, pulled Shen Hui aside and whispered, "..."

You should know where Huang Lingheng went, right?

"Huh?" Chi Ying was caught off guard by Shen Hui 'Shen Hui question. His mind raced. Could it be that Chi Yan had already connected what he had told her with Huang Lingheng?

"President, why do you think it has anything to do with me?"

Chi Yan glanced at Shen Hui, but didn't intend to dig deeper. She simply replied lightly, "Intuition."

"Damn, is this a woman's sixth sense? It's really terrifying," Shen Hui muttered to himself.

Upon arriving at the assembled group, Chi Yan began counting the number of people. Only Huang Lingheng was absent; everyone else was present.

After the headcount was completed, led by Chi Yan, everyone began to head towards the teleportation passage leading from the World Association to the Sea of Stars.

Everyone entered the teleportation channel one by one, and the surrounding scenery turned white. When the scenery reappeared, they were already in the boundless Sea of Stars.

The enormous planetary world seemed to float right above us, almost within reach.

Shen Hui immediately noticed a spot above where many fragments of the world were floating.

That was... the Nascent World before birth.

This is the old base of the Sea of Stars that led to the Nascent World. Apart from the Nascent World itself, which has since exploded, the massive chains that once bound Nascent World are also gone.

Shen Hui, who was gazing at the starry sky, was quickly pulled back from his thoughts by the surrounding noise.

A large crowd had already gathered around; almost everyone had arrived, but it wasn't time to leave yet, so they were all chatting amongst themselves.

Among the many sounds around him, Shen Hui seemed to hear some familiar words.

"We're finally setting off today, but you all know what happened last night, right?"

"Of course I know that. It's a terrifying global fluctuation power that came from who-knows-where. All I know is that it alarmed the World Association, and the World Association for our region has been mobilized."

"Tch, you guys don't know this? The place where the world's fluctuations originated is the Wilderness Ruins; something seems to have happened there."

"Holy crap, it's coming from Wilderness Ruins! That's a long way off. What could possibly cause such terrifying fluctuations in world power?!"

"Is everything alright? Could it be related to our trip to the Chaos Forbidden Domain today, or perhaps those heretics?"

"That's hard to say. I heard they haven't found anything. After all, who would be there? And even if they were, who could survive such terrifying world fluctuations?"
