Chapter 347: What? Sacrificing a Chen? Are You Tired of Living?

This time, the Chen family didn't make a big show of the marriage proposal to the Tang family.

With the Chen family's current status, if they were to host an engagement banquet on a grand scale, practically every influential figure in the capital would personally come to offer their congratulations.

That would be far too much fanfare.

Chen's parents were low-key by nature, and Chen Ye especially disliked unnecessary trouble. So this proposal was handled very discreetly—only both families were present, and they just had a simple meal together.

The process went very smoothly.

Tang's parents were extremely satisfied with Chen Ye as their son-in-law. As for Tang Zichen, of course, she had no reason to oppose it.

And so, it was settled.

Both sets of parents agreed that the wedding would be held as soon as the two graduated.

After the engagement,

President Chen dropped off Yang Rongzhi and Chen Ye at home, then hurried off to yet another meeting.

Since Chen Ye preferred to stay out of the spotlight, President Chen had become a super busy man.

He had no choice.

After all, his son was invincible.

In the battle against the alien Boros, the strength Chen Ye displayed was enough to destroy the entire world in mere moments.

A god among men.

That's what countless netizens now called Chen Ye.

At this point, let alone the position of President of the Ability Association—even if President Chen wanted to enter the government's central core—there wouldn't be much resistance.

All kinds of powerful factions were trying to win him over...

In the blink of an eye,

Several more days passed.

It was now the end of the month.

In just two days, the secret realm would open.

Chen Ye hadn't gone out at all in the past few days, quietly preparing himself.

He was genuinely curious—how many secret realms were there in total? And what would happen if he cleared them all?

To be honest,

With his current strength, clearing all the secret realms wasn't out of the question...

That night,

An explosive piece of news shook the internet.

The space-time wormhole leading to another world suddenly expanded again. This time, the expansion was massive—it engulfed the entire mountain and emitted a strong purple light, bright enough to illuminate the night sky.

Residents of nearby cities saw the shocking purple glow, filmed it with their phones, and uploaded the footage online.

"Holy crap! Guys, look what I found!"

"What the hell? Why is there such a strong purple light?"

"I saw it too—just outside X City!"

"You've got to be kidding. We just finished dealing with the alien incident, and not even half a month has passed, and now there's something new?"

"Could it be the appearance of a secret treasure?"

"Secret treasure? Let's go check it out! Anyone want to team up?"

"Don't bother—it's already been sealed off by the military."

...

Online, speculation ran wild.

Chen Ye, who was lying in bed playing on his phone, immediately sat up.

He instantly recognized the source of the purple light—it was the same space-time wormhole leading to the other world, the place where his big brother was trapped.

He checked the time—it was past 8 p.m.

At this hour, his father, President Chen, still hadn't returned.

Lately, President Chen's social obligations had been excessive...

Chen Ye was just about to call his father to ask about the situation when, unexpectedly, his father called first.

"Chen Ye, you've seen the news online, right?" President Chen got straight to the point.

"I saw it. I was just about to call you!" Chen Ye asked, "Dad, has something happened?"

"Yes!"

President Chen's tone grew serious. "The space-time wormhole connecting to the other world has expanded again. And this time, a two-way passage has appeared."

Chen Ye was taken aback. He immediately said, "That's a good thing, isn't it? That means Big Brother can come back now!"

"No! The current situation is very bad!"

President Chen replied, "After the two-way passage opened, many alien creatures came through. They've completely blocked the entrance and are now in a standoff with our military... I'm on my way there now. Do you want to come?"

"Yes, I'll head over immediately."

"Should I send someone to pick you up?"

"No need. Flying there myself is faster!"

...

After hanging up,

Chen Ye got dressed and flew straight out the window.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sonic boom echoed through the sky, setting off car alarms all over the neighborhood.

The research base was built in a desolate location, far from the capital.

Normally,

Taking a transport aircraft would take at least two hours.

But Chen Ye only needed a little over ten minutes to arrive...

From high in the air, the first thing he saw was the massive expansion of the space-time wormhole beneath a blanket of purple light.

However, the mountain itself was still intact, so from above, he couldn't see inside the wormhole.

On the open ground outside the mountain, there were many broken corpses—some human, some alien—clearly indicating that a clash had already occurred between humanity and the alien species.

Not far away, many military soldiers were on high alert, all armed and even bringing out artillery...

This scene made it clear that these aliens from another world were hostile.

Otherwise, the military wouldn't be reacting this way.

"Whew."

Chen Ye landed steadily, right in front of the military line.

Many soldiers, thinking an enemy had appeared, almost opened fire—until they recognized the bald man, and their spirits lifted instantly.

By now, Chen Ye's appearance and reputation were known to everyone.

An officer immediately ran over and saluted: "Mr. Chen, welcome!"

Chen Ye nodded and asked directly, "What's the situation?"

The officer answered honestly, "Those monsters killed quite a few of our men, but we've managed to push them back for now."

"What about the people trapped in the other world?"

"They're hiding for now. There are too many aliens blocking the exit—they can't get out."

Hearing this, Chen Ye frowned.

Then he asked, "How strong are those aliens?"

Officer: "Most are weak, but some of them have bizarre abilities. Our soldiers were killed by those strange powers."

Chen Ye didn't act recklessly. He continued asking, "Bizarre abilities? Do you have combat footage of them?"

"Yes!"

The officer waved to someone in the distance, and a soldier brought over a military laptop.

Without wasting words, Chen Ye opened the video and started watching.

The footage showed the recent battle.

At first,

Those alien creatures wielded spears and other primitive weapons. Upon seeing humans, they charged forward.

Their cold weapons posed no threat to the soldiers. Before they even reached the front lines, they were mowed down by bullets. In an instant, scores of aliens fell.

Modern firearms crushed cold weapons with ease.

However,

The mutation happened suddenly.

The next moment...

One of the smaller, thinner aliens suddenly erupted with a burst of white light, forming an indestructible shield in front of all the other aliens.

Human bullets striking the white light shield rippled like water, unable to penetrate it.

Very soon,

The aliens used the shield to charge straight up to the human soldiers.

Immediately,

Casualties began appearing among the human forces.

The military wasn't stupid—since rifles were ineffective, they escalated their firepower.

The soldiers retreated, and heavy weapons were deployed.

"Boom!!"

Under the assault of rocket launchers, the white light shield shattered, killing many aliens in one blast.

The aliens quickly counterattacked.

Several green orbs shot from their ranks and exploded amidst the human soldiers.

These green orbs were filled with highly corrosive liquid. Many soldiers let out horrific screams as their bodies were dissolved—a gruesome sight.

Seeing this, Chen Ye furrowed his brow deeply.

This battle...

Was somewhat inexplicable.

The aliens were inexplicably hostile toward humans, charging to kill the moment they saw them.

The humans, on the other hand, were forced into a defensive position.

With no shared language, communication was practically impossible in the short term.

Still,

Overall, human hot weapons proved superior.

Under the barrage of artillery, the aliens soon couldn't hold out. Leaving behind piles of corpses, only a few survivors retreated back into the cave.

The battle footage ended there.

...

Just as Chen Ye finished watching the video,

A transport aircraft flew over from the direction of the capital.

When the plane landed, President Chen stepped out.

Along with him were Ba Liming and Qin Muyin.

"Dad, Martial Uncle, Sister Qin."

Chen Ye greeted them and immediately said, "You arrived at just the right time. Now that the two-way passage is open, I'm planning to go in and take a look."

All three were shocked.

President Chen immediately said, "Chen Ye, it's too risky..."

Chen Ye shook his head. "Dad! Those aliens have already sealed off the exit, and more are converging here after discovering the passage. Big Brother is hiding near the entrance. The longer we wait, the more danger he's in—we can't afford to delay."

President Chen hesitated upon hearing this.

He was worried for his younger son,

But his eldest was just as precious to him.

Ba Liming stepped in: "Junior Brother, don't worry. With this kid's strength, unless that world has a true god, who could possibly harm him?"

Before President Chen could reply, Ba Liming turned to Chen Ye and said, "Those aliens killed so many of our soldiers—this grudge must be avenged. I'll go with you."

But Chen Ye shook his head and objected, "Martial Uncle, it's better if you stay here in case something unexpected happens."

Though Chen Ye was the youngest among them, both in age and seniority, no one dared treat him as a junior anymore. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Qin Muyin suddenly spoke: "It's said these aliens possess sinister and strange powers. I should go with Chen Ye. With my abilities, I can block those evil forces from getting near him."

"Also, once Chen Ye finds the trapped personnel, they'll need protection to evacuate."

Chen Ye had intended to refuse.

After all, he was primarily going to rescue his brother, and letting Qin Muyin take that risk didn't sit well with him.

But after a moment's thought, he realized she had a point.

Though his defense was nearly impenetrable and his speed unmatched, the aliens' powers were unpredictable.

And Qin Muyin's abilities were especially effective against strange and toxic forces—having her along would indeed offer extra security.

"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Qin."

Qin Muyin smiled gently. Seeing President Chen still worried, she added, "President Chen, don't worry. My instincts tell me this trip holds no danger."

That statement made President Chen pause—and then relax.

Qin Muyin could sense danger beforehand.

If she said it was safe, then it likely was.

...

Chen Ye didn't waste any time.

Once everything was settled, he and Qin Muyin walked into the cave.

By now, the cave was completely bathed in purple light, illuminating everything clearly.

The alien creatures seemed to have retreated to the other world; there was no abnormal activity in the cave.

Once they passed through, they found themselves outdoors.

Clearly,

The cave had become a tunnel, and this place was the other world.

It was nighttime here as well.

With no streetlights, the area was quite dark.

Fortunately, the purple light provided some visibility.

Of course, both of them had excellent night vision and could see clearly even without it.

Not far away, a large group of aliens were gathered around a bonfire, sitting upright and alert. Strange chants echoed from within—it seemed they were performing some sort of ritual.

Neither Chen Ye nor Qin Muyin wanted to alert the aliens, so they silently backed away and vanished into the darkness.

They had come to rescue someone.

There would be plenty of time to declare war on the aliens after they saved the trapped people.

Moments later,

Chen Ye pulled out a handheld device.

It was a tracking instrument, with two dots on the screen—one red, one green.

The green dot represented Chen Ye, while the red dot marked the location of the trapped personnel.

It was a simple device, essentially like GPS—very clear to read.

Chen Ye quickly confirmed the direction.

"That way." He grabbed the utility strap on Qin Muyin and said, "Sister Qin, hold on tight."

Qin Muyin nodded and placed her right hand on his shoulder.

In the next instant,

Chen Ye took flight, carrying her with him.

There was no choice.

The moment Qin Muyin used her powers, her body emitted green light—making her impossible to miss.

So it was better for Chen Ye to carry her.

Under the cover of night, Chen Ye flying with one person wouldn't easily be noticed from the ground.

Technically,

Walking would have been stealthier.

But Chen Ye didn't want to waste time—he was racing against the clock, so he chose to fly.

Moments later,

They arrived at their destination.

When Chen Ye saw the scene below, his expression darkened.

Outside the cave where his big brother was hiding, a large group of alien creatures had gathered.

The trapped humans had already been captured—tied up tightly and placed on the grass outside the cave.

The aliens were also conducting a ritual. At the center stood an altar.

It looked like they were planning to sacrifice the humans to some unknown entity.

At that moment,

The sacrificial ritual had already begun!

A chill ran through Chen Ye.

If they had arrived a moment later, his big brother might have already been bled dry in the sacrifice.

Without another word,

Chen Ye dove like a falcon.
