Just this one event shook the entire grand world and countless starry sky thieves.
This was merely the tip of the iceberg of their revealed strength, and they couldn't withstand it. The idea that hiding in the Void Land would make them untraceable, or that without a mana coordinate they couldn't descend, was all a grand deception!
For true powerhouses, if they want to deal with you, there's nowhere you can hide.
They simply don't want to waste energy dealing with pests hiding in dark corners. If they dare to come into the light and break the iron rules, then these so-called starry sky thieves will naturally feel a small shock from the grand world.
From that point on, the starry sky thieves fell completely silent, no longer daring to be arrogant in the grand world.
Especially those with significant status, they could only keep a low profile, not daring to entertain any thoughts of killing and looting treasures.
Because of this major event, the sales of the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal also surged. Many ancient clans quietly acquired quite a few, though they had previously looked down on the Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal.
But outsiders watch the excitement, insiders see the intricacies. Such a powerful being capable of tearing through the starry sky to descend is beyond a Tribulation Crossing Venerable... it's above Tribulation Crossing!
Just this scene alone revealed many hidden messages that ancient powers could see but others could not.
They must all board this great ship together and never disembark, joining in the maintenance of the grand world's iron rules!
The All-Heaven Myriad Realms Spirit Bank is not something the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance can compare to; it emerged from the Boundless Great World.
That place is where the monstrous geniuses of all races gather, where those who scheme for eternity and plan for millions of years exist. Who dares to question their actions?
However, this information is too distant for Little Crane, and she can't find it in books.
She only knows that in such a big environment, her eldest brother and the others can definitely grow stronger steadily, without having to fight and kill for opportunities every day.
She started to take out a new booklet, writing and drawing, mirroring Chen Xun's actions, filled with plans for the garbage recycling plant and development plans.
"Sigh, I wonder when eldest brother will send me to the Dao Academy."
Little Crane pouted, her feet swinging slightly in the air, "I wonder what kind of people are there, as long as they're as easy to get along with as second brother."
She finished speaking and smiled slightly, her eyes emitting a faint glow, falling completely silent, with only the rustling of the wind outside the thatched cottage audible.
The next day.
By the coast, Gu Lisheng arrived with a face full of anxiety, his once high-spirited demeanor nowhere to be seen, unable to utter a word for a long time.
In these hundreds of years, he had never interacted with the factory owner, who seemed not to care about him, never summoning him.
He actually held quite a bit of respect for the factory owner.
Little Chi suddenly roared beside him, "Gu Lisheng, are you dumb?!"
Song Heng turned his head elsewhere, saying nothing, as it wasn't his business; he was just a messenger.
"Gu Lisheng, greetings to the factory owner!" Gu Lisheng took a deep breath, quickly and solemnly cupping his hands.
Chen Xun stood not far from him, eyes fixed on Gu Lisheng. According to Old Mo, this person was somewhat unreliable, fond of boasting.
He didn't respond, and Gu Lisheng chuckled awkwardly, bowing his head, not daring to look up.
After a moment, Chen Xun spoke calmly, "Gu Lisheng, a good name."
"Hehe... factory owner." Gu Lisheng finally dared to look up, meeting Chen Xun's gaze, but only for a moment before quickly averting his eyes.
The factory owner's prestige on Trash Island over the years was immense, even without emitting any aura, the pressure was still enormous.
Most importantly, he still didn't know why the factory owner had summoned him, especially with Fat Song's sinister smile yesterday, which made his hair stand on end.
"I've heard some stories about you." Chen Xun's lips curled into a smile, "I wonder if a person like you, willing to come to Trash Island, has some ulterior motive?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the air became somewhat oppressive.
Gu Lisheng trembled all over, feeling as if he was being watched by some peerless beast for a moment...
Song Heng and Little Chi both looked puzzled, thinking Gu Lisheng might have some big secret that Chen Xun had uncovered.
Gu Lisheng's face turned slightly unsightly, the sea breeze now seemed overwhelmingly fishy to him, and he forced a smile, "Factory owner, it's been so long, I can hardly remember..."
Chen Xun's gaze narrowed slightly, exchanging a glance with Black Bull beside him, then asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Lisheng's expression grew increasingly serious, speaking in a deep voice, "Factory owner, Trash Island is a place of great fortune. Since my birth, I've felt it. When I rise in the future, countless subordinates will surely welcome this young master..."
His words grew heavier, his dark hair beginning to flutter in the wind, his aura gradually rising, meeting Chen Xun's gaze!
"Nonsense, factory owner, don't believe this scoundrel, those words were mine!"
Song Heng suddenly rushed over from afar, shouting angrily, "Gu Lisheng, do you have the guts of a bear and leopard?!"
Gu Lisheng was taken aback, looking bewildered. Did Song Heng really say that...
Little Chi was also shocked, echoing Song Heng, "Gu Lisheng, you dare say such things in front of Brother Xun?!"
At this moment, Gu Lisheng's eyes grew increasingly confused. He didn't look at anyone else, still staring at Chen Xun.
But the latter's eyes now resembled the vast starry sky, with countless stars swirling within.
"Moo~" Black Bull squinted slightly, finding this person's physique quite strange, even stranger than Song Heng's, and it seemed his soul was somewhat damaged, chaotic and unclear.
When they interacted with Little Chi, they had already inquired about him, and his background seemed normal, just coming from the Immortal City.
But there was no great Gu family there, and his background was unclear.
"Human race, no abnormalities." Chen Xun's Five Elements pupils had already unfolded, examining Gu Lisheng thoroughly, "Meridians are completely normal, but the soul is not right..."
He thought to himself, such a situation could either be due to possession by an old monster or experiencing a great battle, leading to chaotic thoughts.
Gu Lisheng's face twitched slightly, suddenly straightening his expression, "Factory owner, I remember now!"
"Oh?"
Chen Xun sensed a strong repulsive force. If he probed further, there would be unpredictable consequences.
In fact, today's actions were already somewhat excessive, but it concerned Little Chi, so he dared not be careless.
Little Chi was also tense, although he couldn't stand this guy, they had been through a lot together over the years, and to say there was no affection would be a lie.
Song Heng also became quiet, cupping his hands and saying, "Factory owner, this kid, apart from talking nonsense, does have some merits and has never done anything harmful to the garbage recycling plant."
"Fat Song!"
Gu Lisheng suddenly turned, his features twisted, "You dare slander me in front of the factory owner?!"
Song Heng was momentarily speechless, coughing a few times, then chuckled, "Lisheng, first explain to the factory owner, we'll talk about our matters later."
"Hmph!"
Gu Lisheng glared at Song Heng, then turned and said coldly, "Factory owner, I remember now. This young master is enduring humiliation for a greater cause. When the time comes, and countless subordinates return, to show gratitude, I'll appoint you as a great general of the Immortal Dynasty!"
Whoosh~~
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became awkward.
Chen Xun's eyes widened slightly, Black Bull was full of shock, Little Chi was so embarrassed his mane was about to be pulled out by his claws, and Song Heng's mouth hung wide open.
"Gu Lisheng, I know what's wrong with you."
Chen Xun shook his head and sighed softly, taking a few steps to the side, raising his voice, "Kid, your soul is damaged, leading to confusion!"
"Huh? Factory owner?"
"Brothers, for someone like this, the only way is to fight poison with poison, damn it, beat him awake!"
"Moo~~"
"No problem, Brother Xun!"
"Factory owner is wise, factory owner is righteous!!!"
Everyone suddenly shouted, especially Song Heng, who was already rubbing his hands with extreme excitement, the time had come!
As soon as the words fell, four shadowy figures enveloped the entire coast, suddenly all attacking Gu Lisheng!
Gu Lisheng's eyes widened in rage, his fists clenched tightly, letting out a terrifying scream by the coast, "No!!!"
