Chapter 1563: Extracurricular Personnel

In front of the Eternal Palace.

Chen Ling's gaze fell on the knights kneeling on the steps.

He raised his hand gently, and an invisible Heart Python instantly darted out, directly swallowing the recent memories of these people. The knights were already under the terrifying pressure brought by the world-destroying entity, and with the influence of the Heart Python, they all rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot.

Chen Ling didn't care what these people thought of him, but Tian Xiaochen was, after all, a child living in the Eternal Realm. If he were caught and imprisoned by these people afterward, it would be troublesome...

Chen Ling walked down the steps slowly and walked straight toward the street ahead. Seeing this, Tian Xiaochen also followed closely behind obediently.

The theatrical robes with red background and black patterns fluttered silently, like a demon that had escaped from the Eternal Palace. As he approached, whether it was the chasing knights or the fleeing prisoners, they all fainted on the spot, and the street, which had been noisy and chaotic, became dead silent in an instant.

Everyone blocking his path fell one after another, and everyone who wanted to approach him was terrified. This scene was too shocking for a child like Tian Xiaochen; it was the appearance he had once admired and found most powerful... And now, he was standing beside such a legend.

When Chen Ling reached the end of the street, a figure wearing a silver-threaded long robe walked out from the Knight Headquarters.

"Twilight Society Square 8, welcomes the return of Lord Red King."

Mo Yao bowed respectfully.

Chen Ling nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Lord Red King is too kind," Mo Yao said with a bitter smile. "I didn't do anything. It was Lord Red King who sent the key to break the situation right in front of me."

Bursts of rumbling sounds came from below the Eternal Realm, interrupting the conversation. That great battle seemed not to have ended yet.

Chen Ling looked at the void below:

"We should go."

He seemed to remember something and looked at Tian Xiaochen behind him. With a thought, a revolver engraved with complex patterns appeared in his palm.

"Thank you for this time," Chen Ling said gently. "I have stolen the memories of everyone who saw you just now. After they wake up, they won't remember what you did, nor will they hold you accountable...

I will restore the memories of our intersection, and soon, you will regain the mental state and thoughts appropriate for your age... Your life can get back on track."

"Wait!" Tian Xiaochen's heart tightened, and he immediately spoke, "Lord Chen Ling, can I go with you?"

Mo Yao, who was on the side, was startled. He sized up the child before him with some surprise, and then looked at Chen Ling strangely... He didn't know what kind of soul-stirring words Lord Red King had fed this child, that he didn't want to stay in such a place where he had no worries about food and clothing, but instead wanted to join the Twilight Society? He probably didn't know what kind of organization the Twilight Society was.

"No," Chen Ling shook his head. "You are just an ordinary person, and a child at that... Joining the Twilight Society would ruin you."

Not to mention how one could become a member of the Twilight Society without the Divine Path, even if he were allowed to join logistics and become a hidden liaison for each realm, he was too young... Not to mention that the three major realms on the ground were now more chaotic and dangerous than the last. Letting Tian Xiaochen go down there would be no different from sending him to his death.

Regardless of whether Chen Ling recognized Lord Wuji's "Eternal," at least here, Tian Xiaochen could have no worries about food and clothing and live comfortably. There was no better destination than this.

"But..."

Tian Xiaochen wanted to say something more, but seeing the seriousness and sincerity in Chen Ling's eyes, he still lowered his head silently.

Seeing his disappointed expression, Chen Ling sighed in his heart and still spoke:

"How about this."

"Our Twilight Society still lacks an informant in the Eternal Realm... Since you have this heart, then be an extracurricular member of our Twilight Society. Your task is to lurk inside the Eternal Realm, watching everything..."

"When the time comes, I will come to find you again."

Chen Ling pointed to his forehead.

Hearing this, Tian Xiaochen's eyes brightened visibly!

"Okay!"

He nodded heavily.

In Tian Xiaochen's gaze, Chen Ling slowly raised the revolver, the muzzle pressed against his own temple... and then, he pulled the trigger.

Bang—!

Tian Xiaochen only felt his eyes go black, and like the knights and prisoners around him, he fainted to the ground.

……

In the desolate and chaotic ruins.

As six gem patterns appeared on a broken wall, a human-shaped outline was sketched out from the stones.

This was already the umpteenth time Lord Wuji had reshaped his physical body. The strength of that Annihilation Angel was simply too terrifying. If he hadn't achieved "infinity," he would likely have died here long ago... Now, Lord Wuji's only way was to wear down the Annihilation Angel's strength through his own continuous resurrection.

He didn't believe the Annihilation Angel's strength was as inexhaustible as his own. As long as they fought for long enough, he would still have a chance to counter-kill!

"So, you are here."

A voice came faintly from behind.

Lord Wuji didn't hesitate to withdraw a physical body. That body, which had only grown halfway, turned directly into a human-shaped stone sculpture, and the six gem patterns seemed to escape into the void, disappearing without a trace.

Almost simultaneously, arms extending from the ash climbed directly onto the stone sculpture's body, and then crushed it to pieces!

Bang—!!

The stone powder drifted away silently, and Shen Qingzhu's figure walked out from within slowly.

His gaze swept across the surroundings, seemingly searching for Lord Wuji's next "rebirth point," but immediately after, two figures streaking across the sky attracted his attention.

Chen Ling supported Mo Yao with one hand, stepping on clouds, and quickly left the Eternal Realm. His gaze swept across the devastated battlefield below, and the surprise in his heart grew even more intense.

These two people had almost wiped out the city ruins in the Civilization Embers!

Looking at Mo Yao on the side, his face was deathly pale. He couldn't fly in the first place, and being pulled by Chen Ling to hover at such a high altitude, it was impossible to say he wasn't afraid. But he pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which were trembling slightly, to cover up his fear of heights...

Chen Ling had a thought, and a giant shadow of red and black drilled out from the earth, accompanied by bursts of joyful hissing that resounded through the sky—it was Wu Yi!

"Don't run around, Wu Yi will escort you out," Chen Ling instructed, and then placed Mo Yao on Wu Yi's head.

"Yes."

Mo Yao stepped on Wu Yi's head, and his heart immediately settled down a lot.

After Wu Yi hissed at Chen Ling a few more times, he took Mo Yao and plunged straight into the ground, heading straight toward the Ghost-Mocking army outside the Civilization Embers...

After doing all this, Chen Ling looked toward the six gem marks that were gradually taking shape not far away.
