Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 375: Pilot of No. 1, The Return to East Xia (I)

Though the concert had ended, the online buzz intensified after Yan Ruoyi announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry to focus on her health. Topics surrounding Chen Chu were also trending.

In Wujiang City, Luo Fei, dressed in a white pleated long dress, sat on the sofa, holding a tablet and scrolling through videos and discussions about "Chu Batian" online. She was thoroughly enjoying herself, occasionally laughing out loud at the humorous comments.

Upstairs, a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Luo Fei was holding a phone, her voice calm as she spoke. "Why are you calling me so late?"

A deep male voice came from the other end, "I wanted to ask, has Little Fei[1] broken through to the Fourth Heavenly Realm?"

Luo Wuyue replied calmly. "Not yet, she's still at the peak of the Third."

"She hasn’t broken through yet?" The man paused slightly, his tone tinged with confusion. "That's strange. Theoretically, after using that art to reflect her heart upon the heavens, Little Fei's progress should have sped up."

Luo Wuyue responded indifferently, "No one has ever successfully cultivated that art before. Without anyone to guide her, Little Fei has been figuring it out on her own, so it's normal for her progress to be slow"

"True enough." After a moment, the man suddenly continued. "By the way, Little Sister, I’ve completed the adjustments on No. 1, and I plan to come pick up Little Fei the day after tomorrow."

Luo Wuyue's brows furrowed slightly. "You’ve finished tuning No. 1 already? Didn’t you say it would take more than a month?"

The man explained, "It was supposed to take that long, but I made some discoveries on that demon king’s body that sped up the process.

"Compared to our world, the principles of the Purgatory Clan’s Infinite Hell are more refined, so much so that they can affect the life imprints within it. There's a lot we can learn from it. I'll sort out this information and send it to you later."

"Alright, send it over when you can." She then added calmly, "However, I still have a few issues to resolve here. Give it another half month before you come for Little Fei."

"...Didn’t you say you’d finished your work?" The man was taken aback.

"It was done, but over the past few days, I’ve run several reverse calculations on the celestial computer and found an issue with the energy conversion in the Eternal Power Reactor."

"I see. Alright then, I’ll come in half a month."

At that moment, Luo Wuyue suddenly asked, "Should we let Little Fei stop cultivating that art?"

The man hesitated, his tone puzzled. "Why stop now? Didn’t you agree to let her cultivate it in the first place?"

Looking at the genuine smile on the girl’s face downstairs, Luo Wuyue fell silent for a moment. "I regret it. I didn’t expect her to succeed."

The man remained silent for a long time before slowly responding. "Right now, Little Fei is the most suitable candidate to pilot No. 1.

"Moreover, she’s the only one who has successfully cultivated the translated version of that ancient secret scripture from the ruins. For decades, no one else has been able to do it, proving she is the chosen one of this era.

"She has her destiny to fulfill, just as we have our responsibilities to bear. You've noticed the situation with Akunus, right? The Blue Planet’s barriers are weakening.

"We're running out of time. The second mythical surge is about to erupt, and all nations are trying to find solutions. We can't afford to give up on any possibility.

"Besides, Little Fei is just a backup. East Xia’s strongest might step forward before she even has a chance to grow. Additionally, North Lin’s True King has already touched the threshold of the primordial gate, and the Celestial King of West Meng is preparing for the unification process.

"So don't worry too much. Just see Little Fei as a special cultivator paving a new path."

Luo Wuyue looked at the girl below, fell silent again, and then said softly, "I’ll complete the energy conversion for the Eternal Power Reactor as soon as possible. I’ll let you know when it’s done."

"Alright."

On the morning of May 22nd, at Kuoer Airport, a fox-eared girl, with a six-tailed white fox standing behind her, smiled brightly as she waved to everyone. "Goodbye Chu Batian, Li Daoyi, Sister Xiaoqi."

She then clenched her fist in encouragement toward Yan Ruoyi. "Sister Ruoyi, stay strong. You’ll get better, and when you do, I'll come visit you in East Xia!"

Yan Ruoyi responded with a gentle smile and waved back at her.

Under the group’s watchful eyes, Qingqiu Mingyue boarded a private jet bound for the Baihu Nation, accompanied by her white fox.

Although her visit appeared to be for aiding with her king-level bloodline six-tailed white fox, her true purpose had been to provide cover for the king-level expert Zhang Tianyi.

As they watched Qingqiu Mingyue’s plane ascend, Chen Chu and the others also boarded a large aircraft heading back to East Xia.

"We’re finally going home."

"Yeah."

In the economy cabin, the staff members were visibly relieved. What they initially thought would be a simple trip abroad with Yan Ruoyi had turned into a series of dangerous encounters, culminating in the manifestation of a cult god.

On top of that, they had never expected the sound technician and assistant to be traitors.

According to Bai Yunfeng, the security in Tiannan City was so tight that not even Akunus’ avatar could easily approach, let alone corrupt their souls. For the sound technician and the assistant to be corrupted, they must have willingly accepted it.

Otherwise, any slight resistance during the corruption process would cause a subtle fluctuation in Akunus’s divine soul, which would immediately be detected by the soul crystals placed throughout Tiannan City.

In the first class cabin, Li Daoyi said seriously, "When we get back, I need to find a way to cultivate to the peak of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, or better yet, break through to the Seventh. Otherwise, you guys will steal all the glory again.

"The upcoming God Creation Plan will bring together the most monstrous geniuses in the Federation, like Ji Wuji from the Secret Martial Arts Academy. That guy is a freak even I have to avoid.

"But his cultivation level is low. He’s always putting on a show, but he’s nowhere near as impressive as you, Brother Chu."

Bai Yunfeng smiled warmly. "Mr. Li, you were quite outstanding this time as well, demonstrating the power of an Innate Awakener."

Li Daoyi sighed. "But Brother Chu here ended up stealing the show."

Chen Chu merely smiled in response. He hadn’t intended to show off, but it couldn’t be helped. Li Daoyi had fought for too long without defeating Akunus’ avatar.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to the path to divinity that lay ahead. Not only would he gain the world’s origin, law fragments, and innate runes, but he would also meet other young geniuses from the human race.

These people, who had cultivated for far longer than his one single year and possessed extraordinary talent, were not to be underestimated. When he reached the Seventh Heavenly Realm, however, would any of these geniuses be able to withstand even one strike from him?

With this thought, a slight smile tugged at the corner of Chen Chu’s mouth.
