Eternal Heart

Chapter 1352: Future Plans

The Chaos God Demon Body vanished, and Chen Yu’s figure returned to its original size.

In an instant, a feeling of weakness swept over him. This was the side effect of activating the Chaos God Demon Body, but it was slightly better than before.

This might be because Chen Yu’s realm had improved, and he could already manage this powerful physique.

The weakness gradually became less noticeable, and Chen Yu pushed it to the back of his mind.

"That move just now wasn’t perfect enough."

Chen Yu pondered over the ability he used to kill Master Wou.

He found that the further the distance, the weaker the power of the "Heart-Slaying Technique" became.

Furthermore, Master Wou, being from the Heavenly Mechanism Clan, had a physique that was not very strong, even considered ordinary, which was why Chen Yu could kill him with one blow.

If it were another First Layer Heaven, the result might not have been the same.

At least, before the heart exploded, the divine soul would have had the ability to escape and be reborn through body seizing, not to be instantly killed.

Chen Yu’s "Heart-Slaying Technique" had long been cultivated to perfection.

And the move he used just now primarily borrowed the power of the divine soul and space law, and essentially had gradually departed from the original "Heart-Slaying Technique."

Now, Chen Yu planned to modify and innovate based on the original secret technique.

Once successful, he would be creating his own secret technique.

But right now, he didn’t have time to think about these things.

"Let’s go!"

After gathering the spoils, Chen Yu’s figure was enveloped in a layer of silver light and instantly disappeared.

...

On the other side, three members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan retrieved the "Five-Transformation Rejuvenation Formation," waiting for Master Wou to return so that the mission would be successfully completed.

"How should we deal with that Silver Soul Clan member?"

"Submit to the Heavenly Mechanism Clan, and he can be spared. Otherwise, we’ll have to control him and make him into a divine-level puppet."

The members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan discussed the aftermath.

This action was done very secretly to avoid retaliation from the Black Demon Clan and the coveting of other races, so naturally, the Heavenly Mechanism Clan wouldn’t publicize it.

Thus, the only one who knew, Corrosive God, surely had to be dealt with properly.

Just then, the three members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan present simultaneously received a rescue message from Master Wou.

"Are you kidding? We have three Heavenly Union Realm members here, along with powerful puppets given by Lord Primordial God, yet he’s sending a rescue message."

An old man thought Master Wou was joking.

"I received it too."

Another member of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan said.

The two looked at Lord Primordial God at the same time; even if Master Wou was joking, he wouldn’t joke with Lord Primordial God.

"It seems indeed something unexpected happened. I will escort the Zuo Mie Demon God back to the clan. You go and provide support."

Lord Primordial God immediately ordered.

The two members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan nodded, but were puzzled about what kind of crisis Master Wou encountered that reached the point of needing rescue.

When everything was sorted, the two members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan were ready to set off.

"No support needed."

Lord Primordial God suddenly spoke.

The two members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan were confused, but also sensed something was off.

"My connection with the puppet has disappeared."

With this statement, the other two members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan were immensely shocked.

Such a situation often indicated that the puppet was destroyed.

But the puppet of Lord Primordial God was at the peak of First Layer Heaven, carrying a divine artifact, and the enemies to deal with were merely a heavily injured Meng Qingyun and a demigod.

How could it have failed and been destroyed?

And from Master Wou’s call for help to this moment, only a short time had passed.

Could it be that another strong entity got involved?

"Before the divine-level puppet died, I sensed a powerful divine demon aura in a mysterious way..."

"Either a god demon race intervened, or Chen Yu activated the power of the divine demon parts!"

Lord Primordial God came to two conclusions.

If another god demon race intervened, it would have been too coincidental.

And even if Chen Yu, a demigod, activated the power of the divine demon parts, it wouldn’t be enough to destroy a divine-level puppet, especially not in such a short time.

What exactly did Master Wou encounter?

"You two must find out the cause of death clearly."

Lord Primordial God ordered.

Master Wou was dead, and his puppet was destroyed; everything must be investigated thoroughly.

A dozen days later, the two members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan found the place where Master Wou had fallen.

Nearby, there was no sign of any battle, and Master Wou’s body was scattered all over the place, now attracting quite a few insects and demon beasts.

After all, it was the body of a Heavenly Union Realm being. Even eating a small piece of flesh would be infinitely beneficial.

"Get lost!"

One of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan members, with a gloomy gaze, shouted.

Heaven and earth suddenly turned extremely gloomy, and the area for thousands of miles seemed to freeze, an indescribable oppression descended.

The insects and demon beasts targeted by him couldn’t move under this divine might, their bodies exploded, and their souls couldn’t escape, turning into ash.

The broken body of Master Wou was exposed.

After some investigation, the two members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan looked extremely serious.

They didn’t get much information, but every piece was shocking.

First, around the place where Master Wou fell, there were no traces of battle for thousands of miles.

Second, Master Wou seemed to have been killed in one hit.

To kill Master Wou with one hit indicated that they too could be killed in the same way.

And for thousands of miles around, there were no traces of battle, which meant that the perpetrator maintained an extremely long distance from Master Wou and still killed him in one strike!

To possess such means, one had to be at least Divine Realm Second Layer Heaven.

The two members of the Heavenly Mechanism Clan continued to search for more information with shock and apprehension.

...

"Yu’er, how are things going?"

"Meng Qingyun sent a message."

He often divines and deduces, and the result is that the danger has been lifted.

"It should be safe now."

Chen Yu replied.

The Heavenly Mechanism Clan hasn’t come after us for so long, so there’s basically no threat now.

After all, the Heavenly Mechanism Clan needs to guard the Divine Demon Parts, and since Master Wou has died, the other Heavenly Union Realm First Layer from the Heavenly Mechanism Clan don’t dare to recklessly pursue Chen Yu.

"What are your plans next?"

Meng Qingyun continued to ask.

"Return to the Human Race."

The purpose for which Chen Yu left the Human Race has been accomplished, so naturally, he’s going back now.

"This is not a wise decision. The Heavenly Mechanism Clan has learned that you possess Divine Demon Parts. If you go back, it might bring a catastrophic disaster to the Human Race."

Meng Qingyun sighed.

"Is this the reason you stay away from the Human Race?"

Chen Yu countered.

"Partly."

"I’m also collecting information related to Divine Demon Parts, and some other matters..."

Among the many parts of the Chaos Demon King, the core "Eternal Heart" is the most precious, desired by major forces and even by other Divine Demon Parts possessors.

Knowing that Chen Yu came to the main world, Meng Qingyun began to assume various false identities and spread relevant rumors to mislead, reducing the chances of Chen Yu being discovered.

The Green God Stealer was just one of his false identities.

"Now that the Heavenly Mechanism Clan has set their sights on you, it’s not suitable to return to the Human Race."

Meng Qingyun advised.

"Then what?"

Chen Yu asked, realizing that Meng Qingyun had considered more than himself.

"The Eternal Heart will be exposed sooner or later. Before that happens, you need to rapidly enhance your strength. If you lack sufficient strength, the Eternal Heart will eventually be taken away... and then you will also die..."

Meng Qingyun’s words carried a hint of helplessness.

No father wants his son to live a life of hiding and anonymity.

"Will I die if I lose the Eternal Heart?"

Chen Yu looked surprised.

He hadn’t considered this question before.

"The possibility is very high!"

Meng Qingyun wasn’t sure but didn’t wish to take this chance.

"When you were born, you triggered a shocking Bloodline Phenomenon, and should be a very rare and almost lost Divine Demon Bloodline among the Ancient God Race."

"The Ancient God Race does not permit noble Divine Demon Bloodlines to flow into the Human Race, so an ancient curse was cast, destroying your Divine Demon Bloodline and dooming you to die before the age of three..."

"If not for me and Xinyue obtaining the Eternal Heart to change your fate..."

Meng Qingyun narrated slowly, ending with a sigh.

An analysis from this suggests that Chen Yu indeed survived because of the Eternal Heart.

Once the Eternal Heart is taken, he is most likely... to die!

"Don’t worry, father, I will survive."

Chen Yu’s expression was calm, his words resolute.

The Eternal Heart must not be taken away!

Therefore, what Meng Qingyun said was correct, the urgent task is for Chen Yu to rapidly enhance his cultivation and strength.

"Yu’er, the Divine Demon Part you have is the ’Eternal Heart,’ the key to the Chaos Demon King. For you, the quickest way to elevate might be to collect Divine Demon Parts."

Meng Qingyun seriously speculated.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but recall the incidents with Yan Su and the Blood Land of Creation.

Back in the Blood Land of Creation, after absorbing the Ancestral Blood, he instantly broke through the gate of Eight-star King to Nine-star King, then entered the Xuanming Realm, directly advancing to Mid Xuanming!

That level-up breakthrough might also have been the Eternal Heart’s influence following the absorption of the Ancestral Blood.

That is to say, as long as Chen Yu keeps collecting more Divine Demon Parts, his cultivation will advance rapidly, comparable to a normal God Realm closed in cultivation for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

"Exactly!"

Chen Yu nodded.

Meng Qingyun didn’t know about these incidents but could still speculate, which was indeed remarkable.

However, Divine Demon Parts are not so easy to obtain.

"In the years I’ve roamed the main world, the number of clues and news I heard about Divine Demon Parts are numerous. Among them, there are also a few relatively credible leads..."

Meng Qingyun continued.

Though he wasn’t always by Chen Yu’s side, he was always thinking about Chen Yu’s affairs.

"This path is arduous, the future uncertain... Let’s first return to the Human Race!"

After a moment of pondering, Chen Yu said.

Meng Qingyun revealed a slight smile, "Is it to see that girl?"

The matters witnessed by the doppelganger were also known to Meng Qingyun’s main body, so he knew about Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng’s issues.

"Then let’s return to the Human Race first."

Meng Qingyun expressed with emotion.

He didn’t know how long it had been since he last returned to the Human Race.

As long as identity is concealed and behavior low-key, the Heavenly Mechanism Clan would find it hard to locate them.

Half a year later.

Chen Yu left the territory of the Insect Race.

He didn’t return directly to the Human Race’s territory but flew towards the direction of the Sky Moon Alliance.

On this day.

Outside the central city of the Sky Moon Alliance, a tall man in a black robe descended slowly.

"Previously when entering the Sky Moon Alliance, I always concealed my identity and acted low-key. This time, there’s no need for that!"

Chen Yu’s gaze was cold, and the aura of the Heavenly Union Realm spread open.

At that moment, the winds and clouds of heaven and earth stirred violently, and an intangible oppressive aura spread, causing all living creatures nearby to tremble in fear from the depths of their hearts.
