Chapter 1868: Heart 6 and the Silver King?

*Clang—clang...*

A pitch-black Domain train slowly pulled away from the Red Dust Domain.

Inside the carriage, many of the Sixth-Generation members who had just experienced a fierce battle were already fast asleep, sprawled across the chairs, as if the intense fighting had left them utterly exhausted...

And in the reflection of the glass windows, the ghost-like Fifth-Generation members turned their heads to look out the window, toward the direction of the Red Dust Domain.

"Lord Gray King has also ascended to Demigod..." Diamond 10 looked at the divine path that had already reached the sky in the distance, a look of emotion appearing in his eyes. "Now, our Twilight Society has two Demigods sitting in command."

"More than just two Demigods; didn't you see those Demigod Dukes not even daring to speak in front of Lord Red King?" Heart 10 propped his feet on the table and grinned. "It’s truly exhilarating... these Sixth-Generation world members are just too lucky."

"Perhaps, the humans of this world... might really be able to solve the Red Star."

“……”

Just as everyone on the train was chatting,

a black top hat appeared in the void outside the Red Dust Domain. The hat flipped, and a figure in an English-style coat took shape.

Li Laide looked at the chaotic battlefield within the Domain, and then at Liu Qingyan, who was undergoing Divine Path self-verification, a look of regret flashing in his eyes...

"Too late, huh..."

After Li Laide ascended to Demigod, he had immediately rushed to the Red Dust Domain, but he hadn't expected that everything would be settled by the time he arrived.

However, looking at the current situation, the Master seemed to have been very successful; the members of the Twilight Society and the Fire-Tamers had all boarded the Domain train and were safely departing the Red Dust Domain.

Li Laide hesitated for a moment before flying toward the departing Domain train.

……

"But, if we fail, we can just restart the world again."

"The Twilight Society of this world has the help of the Fire-Tamers and the Fusion Faction, plus two Demigods; collecting the Red Star's wish power again to restart the world shouldn't be difficult."

"Speaking of which, has the Heart 6 card been issued yet?"

"Not yet... it should be just about time for the 6-generation."

"The Heart 6 of this world..."

"I’m really curious, who will Lord Red King choose as Heart 6?"

"Could he go back to Frost Street again and support the young Fifth-Generation Red King as Heart 6? The Fifth-Generation had extremely high talent, and he is Lord Red King’s master; handing the Heart 6 candidate position to him should be safer."

"Theoretically, that’s true... but didn't the Red Star descend early this time? The Fifth-Generation shouldn't have stepped onto the Divine Path yet, right? Even if he were given the Heart 6 card, would there be enough time for him to grow?"

"Hard to say..."

"In my opinion, Li Laide is a good choice."

"This guy, although he was our enemy in the previous world, has been well-nurtured by Lord Red King in this world... And he has already ascended to Demigod; both his strength and wisdom are sufficient to serve as the next Red King."

"Hiss... the Silver King of the previous world becoming the Red King of this world... it feels a bit strange."

"Honestly, I also think Li Laide is good. Lord Red King hasn't pulled him into the Twilight Society yet; he must be waiting for the Heart 6 card."

"That’s true..."

“……”

The ghost-like Fifth-Generation members chatted heatedly in the glass reflection.

On the carriage, Li Laide, who had arrived not long ago, raised his eyebrows slightly...

At the same time,

Plum 8, who suddenly saw Li Laide’s figure in the glass reflection, was stunned... then he poked the chatting Fifth-Generation members with a strange expression.

Everyone looked in the direction of his gaze in confusion, and upon seeing the figure in the English coat that had appeared out of nowhere, their expressions became incredibly colorful.

The carriage fell silent instantly.

"He should..."

"Not be able to hear us... right?"

Heart 7 asked cautiously.

Everyone was currently in a ghost state and did not belong to the real world; if not for the glass reflection, one wouldn't even be able to see their existence... let alone hear their voices without special means.

But clearly, Li Laide, who had already ascended to the Demigod of the Thief Divine Path, did not fall into this category.

"Interesting..." Li Laide rubbed his chin with one hand, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the ghost members. Thick, invisible heart-pythons slowly crawled out from the void around him.

"Regarding the matters of 'Heart 6' and the 'Silver King'..."

"Would you mind telling me a bit more?"

Society Members: ...

……

Gray Realm.

Ugly Peak.

Lu Xun walked slowly along the steps.

The biting cold wind whistled across the stairs, blowing Lu Xun’s white research coat, causing it to flutter. He scanned the barren, desolate Gray Realm land around him and finally fixed his gaze on the peak...

A simple-looking house came into his view.

"This must be what Director Chen mentioned."

Lu Xun muttered to himself.

He walked straight toward the house. Upon getting closer, he saw two figures, one big and one small, squatting on the open ground in front of the house, as if playing with pebbles.

One of them was a child with white ash smeared on his nose, looking both funny and cute; the other was a figure wearing a white robe like Lu Xun, with snow-white hair draped over his waist, patiently interacting with the child, occasionally making the child giggle with laughter.

Seeing that familiar figure, Lu Xun’s heart stirred slightly...

He walked straight forward.

"...Yang Xiao."

"Old Lu." Yang Xiao’s eyes lit up when he saw Lu Xun approaching.

He stood up and looked Lu Xun up and down carefully for a long time... before speaking with emotion:

"Long time no see."

"Yeah... long time no see." Lu Xun met Yang Xiao’s gaze. More than three hundred years had passed, and under the erosion of time, the distance between them didn't seem to have grown. They just smiled at each other, as if returning to the past.

"Why aren't you going in?" Lu Xun looked at the cliff behind the house. "Didn't Director Chen tell us the way in?"

"I arrived a bit early... seeing this child playing with pebbles alone here, it was a bit pitiful." Yang Xiao raised his hand, touched the Ugly Clown’s head, and said gently, "I thought, since I have to wait for you guys anyway, I might as well play with him for a while."

"Eeya—!"

The Ugly Clown raised his hands in excitement.

"This child... is quite special," Lu Xun observed the Ugly Clown for a long time and couldn't help but say.

"Around Director Chen, are there any simple people?" Yang Xiao laughed.

"That’s true."

"Time is about up... let’s go in too."

"Hmm."

Yang Xiao squatted down, said goodbye to the Ugly Clown earnestly, and then walked straight toward the cliff behind the house with Lu Xun.

Although the Ugly Clown was very reluctant to part with Yang Xiao, he seemed to know that this was a guest of his little junior brother. After waving goodbye enthusiastically, he squatted down and continued playing.

One more chapter, it might be late.
