Chapter 260 Encountering an Old Friend in Chaos City
Several days later, Chen Yuan returned to War Base 026 and requested to leave the battlefield. He then used the spatial passage there to teleport back to the human territory.
Then, it flew towards the direction of the primordial universe.
Since the company headquarters of the initial universe was not far from the original secret realm, his return journey was basically the same as his arrival.
Thanks to the significant performance improvement of the Shiyuan Palace, the flight speed is now more than four times faster than before, and the original two-and-a-half-year journey has been compressed to half a year.
Six months later, the massive continent that was the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company was within reach.
This time, he still traveled into the initial universe via the company's spaceship. However, compared to before, when the owner of the spaceship came out to greet him personally after learning that Chen Yuan was going to take the spaceship, he was slightly surprised. You know, the owner of the spaceship never showed up when he took the spaceship before.
However, after meeting the owner of the spaceship, he understood why the other party had never shown himself before. It turned out that the owner of this spaceship was also a powerful figure who had been granted the title of King by the company.
Before Chen Yuan passed through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, his authority was only at the King level, which was comparable to the other party's. However, at that time, he was just a minor domain lord, and the other party, being only a King, naturally wouldn't bother with him.
But things are different now. Although the news of his passage through Tongtian Mountain has not been revealed, his authority has indeed been upgraded to the level of a Universe Venerable!
In the virtual universe company, privileges are not easily granted. If someone has privileges beyond their current level, it means that person must have reached the corresponding level of strength.
In other words, in the eyes of the ship owner, although Chen Yuan is a realm lord, he will definitely become a cosmic venerable in the future, which is why the other party personally welcomed him.
Once Chen Yuan boarded the ship, the spaceship didn't wait for anyone else and headed towards the initial universe with half the passengers on board.
Not long after, as a chaotic flow of time swept in and quickly ended, Chen Yuan realized that he had returned to Chaos City.
"Lord Chen Yuan, we have arrived at Chaos City."
Amid the ship owner's respectful greetings, Chen Yuan stepped out of the cabin, ignoring the Chaos City envoy standing in front of the spaceship's door, and flew straight towards Chaos City.
However, before he could enter the virtual universe to inform his senior brother Youhou, Irele reminded him, "Master, I have found an old friend of yours in Chaos City."
"An old friend? Who?" Chen Yuan didn't react for a moment.
Irene softly uttered a single word: "Hong!"
"So it was him!" Chen Yuan exclaimed in realization.
Upon closer reflection, the current time, calculated according to the Earth calendar, is exactly 2430.
The original text mentions that Hong left Chaos City in 2514, which means that the other party entered Chaos City in 2414. Now it is exactly the fifth year that Hong has been cultivating in Chaos City.
At the same time, Chen Yuan understood why Irene had reminded him of this matter. After Hong left Chaos City, he would venture into the Illusionary Sea and directly pass through the 20th floor, attracting the attention of the human race's higher-ups.
If we don't want Earth's secrets to be discovered, then we must remind Hong in advance to control his behavior when he ventures into the Illusionary Sea, and not to be as exaggerated as in the original story.
If one only passes through about ten floors, it will not attract the attention of the human race's higher-ups at all.
Although Chen Yuan was a transmigrator and this world's Earth had little to do with him, he had known Luo Feng and the others for many years, so it was only right and proper for him to offer some advice.
"Since we've run into each other, it would be good to meet up."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan sent Hong an email after a long time.
Not long after, a familiar figure flew out of Chaos City. Dressed in black with short hair and an Earthling appearance, it was none other than Hong, whom they had not seen for a long time.
"I never expected to meet you here, Chen Yuan."
Hong approached Chen Yuan and, sensing the other's aura as deep and boundless as the ocean, smiled slightly: "It's been hundreds of years since we last met. Your strength has become so unfathomable. That's wonderful."
"I also owe a lot to the museum owner's support back then, otherwise I wouldn't have improved so quickly."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "When I returned to Chaos City this time, I found that the Pavilion Master was also here, so I couldn't help but say hello."
"Haha, I've only been here a short time myself."
Hong laughed heartily, then sighed, "From becoming a top-tier elite in the Giant Axe Arena, I honed my skills for over a hundred years before finally fighting my way out from among thousands of geniuses, entering the core level, and gaining the qualification to cultivate in Chaos City."
At this point, he shook his head: "It was only then that I realized just how remarkable it was that you, Chen Yuan, broke into the core of Virtual Universe Company in less than ten years."
"You flatter me, Master. It's just a matter of hard work and a little bit of luck."
Chen Yuan smiled modestly, paused briefly, and continued, "Actually, the reason for this interruption is that I suddenly remembered something that I need to inform the Master."
"Oh?" Hong asked curiously, "What is it? Does it concern me?"
"To be precise, it's related to Earth."
As Chen Yuan spoke, he took out the Shiyuan Hall: "Please come inside for a chat, Master. There are some things that are not suitable to be discussed outside."
Seeing the solemn expression on this Earth junior's face, Hong also became serious. After nodding in agreement, the two entered the Shiyuan Hall.
With the help of the shielding function of this top-tier treasure, Chen Yuan was able to confidently reveal the secrets of Earth to Hong.
After listening to the story, Hong fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "In other words, according to your speculation, Earth was created by some powerful being in the universe, which is why humans born on Earth have such an advantage in terms of mindset."
"In other words, as long as I restrain myself appropriately when venturing into the Illusionary Sea in the future, I won't attract special attention from the human race's higher-ups, is that right?"
Chen Yuan nodded.
"But Luo Feng once mentioned that you also ventured into the Illusionary Sea, even clearing 20 floors in one go. Why didn't that attract the attention of the company's higher-ups?"
Hong pressed for an answer, puzzled.
Information about Chen Yuan's adventure in the Illusionary Sea was obtained from Luo Feng a hundred years ago after Hong had ventured into the Eighteen Illusions of Love and Desire of the "Illusionary Spirit King" for Ji Qing's sake.
At that time, Luo Feng sighed, "I didn't expect that my elder brother's state of mind is so remarkable. If he were to venture into the Illusionary Sea, he should be able to easily surpass me. I just don't know if he can reach Chen Yuan's level."
It was this sentence that caught Hong's attention. When he asked Luo Feng for details about the Illusionary Sea, he also learned that Chen Yuan had passed the 20th floor.
It was from that time that Hong began to be eager to explore the existence of the Illusionary Sea, wanting to know which level of the Illusionary Sea he could pass through with his own state of mind.
Faced with Hong's question, Chen Yuan gently shook his head: "Our situations are different. After all, due to some fortuitous encounters, my soul had already transformed into an immortal level when I was at the cosmic level."
"An immortal-level soul, combined with the will of a peak-level king, was enough to allow me to barely pass the 20th level of the Illusionary Sea."
At this point, Chen Yuan looked at Hong: "But you, Master, are different."
"After mastering the third level of the mind, 'the infinitely vast mind,' no conventional illusions in the world will have any effect on you."
"This means that even if you only have a cosmic-level soul, you can still pass through the 20th level of the Illusionary Sea."
If it's somewhat acceptable for an immortal-level soul to possess the will of a peak-level King, then a cosmic-level soul possessing the will of a peak-level King is enough to cause a sensation among the human race's higher-ups.
After hearing Chen Yuan's explanation, Hong finally understood the difference: "So that's how it is—"
"So, as long as I control the number of levels I pass, for example, only reaching around the tenth level like Luo Feng did, it won't attract the attention of the higher-ups?"
Chen Yuan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then added, "However, there is one more thing I need to explain to the curator."
"That means if the gym leader can clear the 20th level of the Illusionary Sea, such amazing talent might even attract the attention of the real higher-ups of the Giant Axe Arena, who will take you as their disciple. At that time, the gym leader's future will be limitless."
"But if he chooses to hide his strength, then in the long years to come, the master may waste a lot of time and find it difficult to break through to the immortal realm."
"Therefore, we hope that the Pavilion Master will carefully consider the pros and cons of venturing into the Illusionary Sea before making a decision."
"On one hand, it's about one's own future; on the other, it's about the safety of the Earth—" Hong muttered to himself, then nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for letting me know."
"After you leave here, please remember not to tell anyone about this while you are in Chaos City."
Chen Yuan reminded him, "The entire primordial universe is under the control of the Chaos City Lord. As long as we leave here, the Pavilion Master's every word and action will be under the City Lord's observation."
"Don't worry, I understand." Hong smiled faintly.
The two then parted ways. Hong returned to continue his cultivation, while Chen Yuan felt much more at ease after revealing the secret of Earth. He then contacted his senior brother Youhou to inform him that he had arrived in Chaos City.
Before long, he arrived at a side hall of the city lord's mansion.
This is the treasure trove of the entire human race.
