CHAPTER 1379: CHAPTER 1379: PAST AND FUTURE

"But the problem is the level of the newbies. This game is increasingly emphasizing levels, and with the intervention of the three major forces, many spies from these forces are in the Newbie Village. These people won’t let us have our way."

"That’s indeed a problem." You once again find yourself deep in thought.

"Yun, didn’t I mention a place to you a while ago? It’s a planet called Source Water Planet, where the residents used to be very pure-hearted. But since the Milky Way Alliance got involved, the planet’s residents have quickly fallen into an unprecedented predicament. Now they need a leader to guide them onto a new path and lead them toward brightness."

Seeing Zhao’er’s look as he speaks, you suddenly say, "Zhao’er, are you an original resident of Source Water Planet?"

Zhao’er is momentarily stunned, then he nods.

"Let me ask you a question, why did you choose me back then? I can’t believe you would fall for me so easily."

You didn’t say the word love because suddenly you felt that Zhao’er being with you wasn’t so simple.

"Is Yun questioning me?"

"Not questioning. I just want to clarify things. After all, I don’t want to be played like a fool."

"Does Yun think I’m playing you?" Zhao’er’s face immediately changes.

"No, I don’t mean that. I just want to make things clear. You know my character; I hate being kept in the dark."

Zhao’er’s expression slightly relaxes; he sighs, "I should’ve said these words from the beginning, but I feared hurting Yun, so I didn’t say it. Since Yun wants to know, then I’ll tell you. But Yun, please promise me you won’t get angry after knowing the details."

"I’m not a petty person." You say with a smile.

Zhao’er slowly exhales, saying, "Let’s start from the beginning. Source Water Planet is a planet that respects nature. Eighty percent of its domain is ocean, and seven percent of the twenty percent land is forest. We most revere the power of nature there. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors established a sacred sect, which has ruled the nearly two billion people of Source Water Planet until now. My master is the Pope of the sect, while I’m merely an ordinary member."

"Wow? Just a member? I thought you’d be the Saintess." You’re surprised.

"I don’t qualify to be a Saintess. The Saintess is elected through a public selection process, regarded as a deity in people’s hearts. My senior sister is the current Saintess."

Thinking of his senior sister, a warm smile involuntarily appears on Zhao’er’s face: "When I was seventeen, Eastern Cloud Dragon and his fiancée came to our planet for vacation. My senior sister received them. After speaking with him, she called me to our master’s room. The master told me she sensed the presence of a dragon in Eastern Cloud Dragon and believed a Dragon Vein resides within him. Both my master and senior sister thought Eastern Cloud Dragon is the Savior for our Source Water Planet, so they sent me to his side."

"I see. Then, the rumors circulating outside are all fabricated lies."

"On the surface, Source Water Planet still seems pure, but its people are suffering unprecedented disasters. Because we have superior genes, our women—the outsiders see them as stunning beauties. Now many women from our clan have been taken off the planet, some entered the entertainment industry, some became wives of high officials and noblemen, some are even used as *** by them." As he speaks, you see anger for the first time in Zhao’er’s eyes.

"These people not only ravage our people but also recklessly exploit resources on our planet, turning our beautiful planet into a lifeless steel world." Zhao’er’s eyes are already wet, "I initially chose you because I sensed from your words and actions that you are not ordinary. I believe you possess strength surpassing Eastern Cloud Dragon. So, I agreed to be your wife at the last moment of my life. Although I died, I firmly believe you will fulfill my desire. Who would’ve thought, I didn’t die..."

"Don’t say anymore." You embrace Zhao’er tightly, your eyes filled with affection and guilt, "Zhao’er, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you."

"No, Yun didn’t do anything wrong. It’s me who is at fault; I should’ve told you this earlier. Mm..." Zhao’er’s lips are sealed by yours, and the two of you are entwined with each other in the eerie darkness of the underground palace.

With Zhao’er’s loving gaze upon you, you smile and say, "Zhao’er, given our current situation, we can’t yet go to Source Water Planet. But as you mentioned it, it reminds me of another perfect place."

"Where?"

"Numa Planet. Its residents are oppressed, suffering more than you. Only by going there can we find genuinely qualified people with both physical and mental resilience. Plus, what we lack isn’t culture. I can rebuild a Knowledge Transmission machine from Mou Family of Academics, and I’ll train them in several categories separately, instilling in them both ancient and advanced knowledge without altering their original nature. Most importantly, Numa Planet is only one day away from Zhonghua Star."

Zhao’er nods in agreement with your viewpoint.

"Boss, where are you?" At this moment, you receive a message from Feng Yujian.

"I’m leveling up; what’s up?" You aren’t entirely sure which force Feng Yujian and his brother belong to but vaguely know the force behind them isn’t simple.

"You’ve been gone so long; why aren’t you back yet? There are plenty of Skeletons here for leveling up. Killing one brings a ton of experience, upgrading quite quickly."

"Boss, I’m already level 63, haha! That Eastern Cloud Dragon is just level 67. All we need to do is kill a hundred thousand more Skeletons to surpass him!" Smiling Knife’s voice is robust, "Boss, what are you doing? Chasing girls?"

This kid really hit the nail on the head.

You quickly activate channels with both of them, asking, "Where are you?"

"No need to ask, of course, we’re still in Ghost City. Damn, there are ghosts everywhere, making it hard to sleep at night." It seems Smiling Knife isn’t quite used to that place.

"I’ve already had a fallout with the Ghost King; you guys should return to the Human World. I’m now preparing to establish a guild..."

"Boss, I’m in!" Smiling Knife immediately shouts.

"What about your old man?"

"Screw him; that’s his business and has nothing to do with us brothers. Boss, we’re sticking with you!" Even cursing his own father, Smiling Knife truly is ruthless.

"You guys continue leveling up, and recruit a few more followers for me. When the time comes, we’ll fight fiercely against Eastern Cloud Dragon and the three major forces!"

"Boss, don’t worry. We’ve all got our followers, and they listen to us. When you call us, we’ll come right away!"
