“I’m a peak Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform. I can still tell the difference,” Wang Jiuyan said, “but I really want to meet them.”

“I’ll allow you to see them after you become a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform,” Dean Ming replied coldly. “Don’t worry. After all, they were fated to be with you for a lifetime. I’ll make them cosmic lifeforms!”

Wang Jiuyan looked at his grandfather.

“Entering with blocked memories is a risk, but it’s also a chance for breaking through any mental bottleneck. Don’t disappoint me,” said Dean Ming.

Wang Jiuyan looked at the lake again.

When he died in Blood Rain World, he was filled with endless regret and indignation. His intense emotions affected him until this moment, but he had also benefited greatly. This was because it was a completely different life from reality.

Man can conquer nature? But Wang Jiuyan of Blood Rain World was killed by a palace attendant in prison, Wang Jiuyan thought to himself. He was also reflecting on his life in Blood Rain World.

*******

Blood Rain World, Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace.

Wang Jiuyan is finally dead. The emperor felt a weight off his mind when he received the news from his subordinate. He recently had nightmares about Wang Jiuyan seeking revenge on him. Unable to take it anymore, he sent his subordinate to kill Wang Jiuyan.

Sigh.

The emperor quickly sighed to himself. If I hadn’t gotten Wang Jiuyan to return back then, I might’ve completely wiped out the western rebels. The eastern region wouldn’t have rebelled! Wang Jiuyan could’ve also led his troops to continue fighting in the northern region…

No, no, no. If I hadn’t summoned him back, Wang Jiuyan would’ve probably commandeered the western region and declared himself king. I didn’t do anything wrong. The emperor was still in thought when suddenly—

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty.” An anxious voice sounded from outside, and an elder rushed to the door.

“What’s the fluster? What’s the matter?” The emperor frowned and looked out the door.

Only then did the elder step in and bow. He immediately said, “Your Majesty, bad news. Dean Ming has passed away!”

The emperor was stunned. “What did you say?”

“Dean Ming has passed away,” the elder repeated.

“Impossible. How can someone like Dean Ming…” The emperor was unwilling to accept it.

“Death is inevitable in life,” the elder remarked. “Dean Ming is ultimately too old, so it’s very normal for him to pass away. It’s just that without Dean Ming holding down the fort in the capital, I’m afraid there will be trouble in the capital.”

The emperor panicked.

The stability of the capital was partly due to the Blood Rain Guard’s might and partly due to Dean Ming’s existence.

Dean Ming’s strength was too terrifying, and numbers were meaningless in front of him! He was an intimidation to many people with ambition. For example, terrifying experts from some factions like the Black Lotus Sect didn’t go overboard because of their fear of Dean Ming.

“With Dean Ming dead, the Black Lotus Sect will definitely stir up more trouble. Even those large families will be tempted,” the elder whispered. “Your Majesty, we have to be more careful.”

“How did this happen? The heavens aren’t helping me!” The emperor felt that the situation was getting worse.

Xu Jingming and the others from China ate very happily at the gathering in Blood Rain World.

Back on Earth, everyone was in competition with each other. But after they integrated into the universe, they became extremely close to each other and naturally became more united.

Knock! Knock! Knock! 

Suddenly, there were knocks at the door.

Xu Jingming and the others put down their glasses.

Hao Qianyun got up and opened the door.

A gray-shirted man stood outside, and he smiled when he saw Xu Jingming.

“Brother Jing, long time no see,” the gray-robed man said with a smile.

“Lord Qiu.” Xu Jingming got up.

“Just call me Brother Qiu. We are no longer officials,” the gray-shirted man said with a smile.

Back when Xu Jingming and the others escorted Old Master Fei and Fei Xinlan to the capital, many guards were led by the silver-haired elder—Lu Shao—and the gray-shirted man, Qiu Huayu.

“You guys continue eating. I’m heading out.” Xu Jingming got up and left with the gray-shirted man.

The duo left the restaurant.

“Brother Jing, are you done with your personal matters?” the gray-robed man asked as the two walked in the alley.

“Yes, I just returned to the capital today,” Xu Jingming replied. “I only found out about what happened in the capital in the past year from my old friends. I never expected Lord Fei to die.”

The gray-shirted man shook his head gently. “There are too many factions that didn’t want His Excellency to arrive in the eastern region! I can only say that there’s no hope for the empire. If that incompetent emperor had trusted His Excellency and allowed him to hold down the fort in the eastern region and deploy troops, the world wouldn’t be in such a terrible state.”

Xu Jingming nodded. “Is Old Master Fei alright?”

“You’ll know when you meet him.” The gray-shirted man sighed and led Xu Jingming to an ordinary residence.

In a residence.

Xu Jingming saw the silver-haired elder, Lu Shao, and also the plainly dressed Old Master Fei. Old Master Fei’s hair had turned white, and he looked old. It was obvious that Fei Qing’s death had a huge impact on him.

“Old Master Fei,” Xu Jingming said.

“I feel more confident after seeing you return.” Old Master Fei smiled. “Come, have a seat.”

“Master is in a much better mood today knowing that you’re back,” the silver-haired elder commented with a smile.

Xu Jingming and Old Master Fei sat down.

There were only a few guards in this residence, but Xu Jingming had noticed that there were also secret sentries in the surrounding residences when he arrived. Clearly, Old Master Fei still had some manpower.

“Ever since Qing’er died, the number of guards who are willing to continue serving my Fei family has decreased.” Old Master Fei sighed. “The number of people I can mobilize is limited now, and many people in the capital want me captured. I don’t have enough manpower, nor do I dare to hire too many outsiders. Once outsiders find out about my identity, they might rob me instead.”
