Chapter 1825: Waking Up Early

Chen Ling was stunned.

The fifth-generation world's Block 6 Sun Bumian was brought to this new world by Chen Ling, and then he found the Sun Bumian who was already in this world.

And Chen Ling was very familiar with the Sun Bumian of both worlds. In the fifth-generation world, they were comrades-in-arms of the 6th generation who fought side by side, and in the sixth-generation world, they were also comrades who had faced many events together, including the Wushan Great Tribulation.

Chen Ling didn't know much about lion dance, but he could feel that since the two Sun Bumians joined forces, the aura between them had skyrocketed at an astonishing speed, and there was even a theatrical reaction that Chen Ling couldn't understand happening quietly...

But what was certain was that the two Sun Bumians in this world joining forces were far stronger than those in the fifth-generation world.

At the same time, the conversation of guests at several tables around them reached their ears:

"Speaking of the six great world-enders, four are dead, so doesn't that mean two are left?"

"Yeah, it seems to be the Mockery Calamity and the Thought Calamity..."

"I know the Mockery Calamity... what is the Thought Calamity?"

"Don't know, never heard of it."

"Isn't the Mockery Calamity the mastermind behind the Twilight Society? I remember he attacked the Chengtian Domain before."

"Yeah... this Mockery Calamity is the most vicious. It is said that it takes pleasure in killing and playing with people's hearts. It's a pity that His Majesty didn't kill it this time."

"It doesn't matter. His Majesty can slaughter his way through the Gray Realm, so what's a Mockery Calamity? If it dares to come out, it's a dead end!"

"And that running dog Twilight Society, if they enter our prison, we'll kill them all."

"Hahaha, that's right!"

“……”

Liu Qingyan's sound barrier only blocked their conversation from reaching the outside world, but the outside world's voices could still clearly fall into their ears... Suddenly, the air fell into a dead silence.

"Tsk," the fifth-generation Sun Bumian sighed, "Our reputation in this world is even worse than in the last world..."

"Mastermind, what are your thoughts?" The sixth-generation Sun Bumian pulled down the small round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Chen Ling half-jokingly.

Chen Ling drank his coffee calmly as if he hadn't heard the gossip of outsiders:

"Good thing."

"...Good thing?"

Both Sun Bumians were stunned.

They looked at each other, seemingly unable to understand why Chen Ling would call it a good thing when he was being smeared like this?

Liu Qingyan opposite Chen Ling also sipped her coffee and smiled without saying a word.

"Red Heart, oh Red Heart... I really am seeing through you less and less," the fifth-generation Sun Bumian sighed, "It's fortunate that you are the one who became the Red King. If it were anyone else facing the current situation, they would be heartbroken..."

"The power of the Chengtian Dynasty is indeed terrifyingly huge... but we are not without opportunities," Chen Ling spoke unhurriedly,

"I called you here today for this matter..."

"Tell me."

Both Sun Bumians turned sideways and listened carefully.

Liu Qingyan also sat upright.

Chen Ling tapped his fingertips on the table, and a moment later, he spoke slowly:

"Red Dust Lord Su Zhiwei... will wake up early."

……

Chengtian Dynasty.

"...Huh?"

In the quiet room, a figure sitting cross-legged on the bed opened his eyes in surprise.

He pinched his fingers as if calculating something. The aura of the eighth-rank Divination Path echoed in the room, but his brows furrowed tighter and tighter...

"Wrong..."

"How could it be early?"

He muttered to himself, pondered for a moment, then immediately got up, put on a robe, and hurried out.

His figure shuttled through the Imperial Palace at high speed. Whether they were powerful officials or small clerks passing by, they all stopped and called out respectfully:

"Marquis Ji."

Marquis Ji walked straight to the bedroom without looking back.

"Hmm? Marquis Ji?" Eunuch Zuo, who was guarding the door, was surprised to see him coming in a hurry, "Shouldn't you and Marquis Qing be preparing for the Divine Path Self-Proofing and promoting to demigods in the near future... why have you come out of seclusion?"

"I want to see His Majesty," Marquis Ji replied in a deep voice.

Eunuch Zuo was stunned.

"His Majesty is currently recuperating and has ordered not to see anyone..." Eunuch Zuo said hesitantly, but when he saw Marquis Ji in front of him, he gritted his teeth, "Marquis Ji, please wait a moment... I will go in and report again."

"Hmm."

Marquis Ji nodded.

Eunuch Zuo hurried into the bedroom, and a moment later, he turned and came out:

"Marquis Ji, His Majesty invites you in."

Marquis Ji immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Just as he stepped into the bedroom, Marquis Ji smelled a rich and peculiar medicinal scent. The whole room was gray, as if covered with a thin veil... He walked forward slowly and finally stopped in front of a screen.

Through the screen, a figure could be vaguely seen lying on the bed. Wreaths of smoke rose from around the bed, and a mysterious Medicine Path aura, accompanied by these medicinal fragrances, continuously drilled into the figure on the bed...

By the bed, Duke Yao stood quietly, his gaze toward the figure on the bed extremely complex.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

A weak coughing sound came from behind the screen, "...What is it?"

"Your Majesty, the heavenly secrets have changed," Marquis Ji said straight to the point, "The awakening time of Red Dust Lord Su Zhiwei has been moved forward."

The figure behind the screen suddenly fell into silence.

The person seemed to frown and ponder for a long time: "Has the reason been found?"

"I can't find it. Every time I try to trace the source, I always touch an existence that cannot be easily calculated... It is disturbing my Divination Path."

“……”

"Red Star Willpower, huh..." A sigh sounded faintly from behind the screen.

"I also suspect that an existence possessing Red Star Willpower is changing something," Marquis Ji paused for a moment, "Before I returned to being a demigod, it was difficult to get rid of this influence, so my divination would also deviate..."

"How much longer do you think it will take for you to return to the position of a demigod?"

"At least seven days."

"Then when has Su Zhiwei's awakening time been moved forward to?"

"About... seven days."

Marquis Ji's voice fell, and he fell into silence.

After a while, the figure on the bed sneered, "What a coincidence... it just happens to be when my injuries haven't healed yet."

"What is the point of him doing this?" Marquis Ji frowned, "Even if His Majesty doesn't come out, and even if the two of us haven't promoted to demigods, Chengtian still has ten demigods sitting in command... Can he protect Su Zhiwei under the eyes of ten demigods?"

"I see... Next, you should focus on promoting to a demigod, and don't worry about the rest," the figure on the bed paused, "When you go out in a moment, call Zuo Zhan in for me."

"Yes."

Marquis Ji bowed simply and turned to leave.

Eunuch Zuo then walked in, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

The figure behind the screen spoke slowly, "The mastermind behind the rumors about Chen Ling spreading wildly in the major prisons that I asked you to investigate before... are there any results?"

The subsequent Red Dust War plot involves many characters and plot lines. Erjiu needs to sort it out carefully. If there is time today, I will update another chapter. If not, I can only let Yijiu take over the account~
