btth: receive your own sucide note

The sun blazed brightly over the sacred city of the Serpent People.

  On the vast western plaza, everyone, named and unnamed, human and non-human, could be seen, their gazes fixed on the young man in the center with fiery longing.

  "Sister Yaoye, I'll leave this to you. Spaceships are not rare in Zhongzhou. I'll have someone arrange for their return after I arrive. After that, the two wormholes will be officially operational."

  Standing before the wormholes, Chen Guan gave his final instructions.

  Yaoye nodded, her eyes slightly red. This time, almost all of the younger generation were accompanying Chen Guan to Zhongzhou. Even Yaoyue and Nalan Yanran were leaving. Even with Yaoye's temperament, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

  After all, she was only a few years older than Chen Guan.

  "Sister, I'll come back often to see you, and my great-grandfather and the others."

  Yaoyue's eyes welled up. This was her first time truly leaving the palace, and heading directly to the 'legendary' Zhongzhou—a rather grand step indeed.

  Without Chen Guan's presence, and the allure of Danta for alchemists, she would have found it difficult to make up her mind.

  Like the sisters, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran were also bidding farewell to Yunshan. In comparison, Nalan Yanran felt a bit surreal.

  She had mentally prepared herself to shoulder the responsibility of clan leader, but to be met with such a sudden and overwhelming surprise felt like a dream.

  Medusa was also explaining to the Serpent Clan elders that the clan leader's departure was no small matter. Fortunately, the Serpent Clan was now a much more powerful force than it once was, and no one in the entire northwest dared to underestimate them. Furthermore, Chen Guan privately hinted that he would lead Medusa to find a more suitable Serpent Clan habitat in Zhongzhou for a future second migration, which ultimately silenced the elders' objections.

  However, they made a request, attempting to leave Xiao Qingyan behind to take care of her, claiming to protect Medusa's bloodline.

  Chen Guan had only one response:

  Don't even think about it!

  At noon, the group prepared to depart, but after a few farewells, it was already an hour before they actually set off.

  Watching the sun gradually shift, and remembering his friends waiting along the way, Chen Guan had no choice but to interrupt.

  "Everyone, it's almost time. Let's set off."

  With that, he took out the spaceship and tossed it into the wormhole. Watching it swell in the wind, Chen Guan waved goodbye to the farewell crowd and stepped inside first.

  "Farewell, Alliance Leader!"

  "Farewell, Alliance Leader!"

  A uniform cheer echoed from the rear, a breathtaking sight. No wonder so many people were so ambitious...

  Chen Guan didn't have to wait. Soon, Medusa carried Little Qingyan, Yun Yun held Nalan Yanran, Qing Lin held Yaoyue, Zi Yan led the Tang siblings, and Xiao Yixian was followed by Skyfire Venerable and Youdu Old Monster. Everyone boarded the spaceship.

  "Zi Yan is still driving?"

  Chen Guan looked at the little dragon man. She had rushed to drive last time, though she didn't hold on for long.

  Listening to Chen Guan's slightly teasing tone, Zi Yan snorted, took a step forward with her calves, and walked to the other side of the control console without loving anyone. She looked at the monotonous scenery with a very mature look.

  "Only children would fight to play with this kind of thing."

  "..."

  She acted very well, and Medusa and the others laughed at her.

  Chen Guan was too lazy to point it out to her, and turned to look at the old monster Youdu.

  "Okay, I knew that this kind of dirty work would fall on me in the end."

  Thinking in his heart, the old monster Youdu was about to take the initiative to take the task, but saw Chen Guan took out a puppet.

  "The northwest is far away from Zhongzhou. Even with the help of a space wormhole, it will take more than a month to get there. During this time, everyone can practice with peace of mind. There are many vacant rooms on the ship. Just find a place you like to stay."

  "Teacher, let's wait and see before going."

  Tang Zi smiled sweetly and shared a few thoughts about her first experience. Even Medusa seemed to share the same sentiment.

  Chen Guan nodded casually. Although he felt that this place was truly unremarkable, not a particularly scenic sight, and its monotony could drive some people mad, it was only at first a novelty.

  He ignored them with a thought, and with a flick of his wrist, a puppet came to deliver Dou Qi, officially setting sail.

  Then, Chen Guan headed straight for the uppermost room, where an invisible and intangible spiritual force quietly emanated, enveloping the entire spaceship.

  To the naked eye, the spaceship appeared normal, but those with greater spiritual power would detect it as if the entire hull was encased in a barrier, as if a large, transparent bubble were propeling it forward.

  …

  A silvery-white halo swirled, a manifestation of the rippling power of space. Suddenly, a luxurious ship passed through, swiftly disappearing into the distance, the only ripple in the monotonous passage.

  Twenty days had passed since the journey began.

  As expected, none of the initially enthusiastic group remained on deck to admire the scenery.

  It was simply too dull, too monotonous!

  Looking around, it looked much the same as it had been the first time.

  Instead, they might as well return to their rooms, find some fun if they wanted, and meditate if they didn't. It would only take a little over a month, a blink of an eye, not a difficult endurance.

  Most of the group poured their energy into their cultivation, but Chen Guan hadn't been in seclusion. He spent his days either bickering with the equally restless Zi Yan or guiding the Tang siblings in their practice, a rare moment of dedicated service.

  He occasionally chatted with Skyfire Venerable and the others, their topics rambling and unconstrained, each one empathizing with the other.

  The only thing they were eagerly anticipating was their old friend, the Soul Palace.

  While they considered themselves well-prepared, they couldn't let their guard down. Chen Guan remained vigilant, uncertain of the enemy's moment of action.

  "Calculating the time, we're almost entering Zhongzhou. It's like there's no village in front, no shop behind. It's the perfect place for murder, arson, and roadblocks..."

  Old Monster Phantom Poison estimated.

  As if to confirm his words, as soon as he finished speaking, several people simultaneously sensed a noticeable disturbance in the spatial force within the wormhole.

  It's coming!

  "Phantom Poison, and you still say you're not a traitor!"

  Venerable Skyfire glared, and even laughed as he spoke.

  Old Monster Phantom Poison opened his mouth, unable to refute.

  No more joking. The puppet reduced the supply of Dou Qi, and the spaceship's speed suddenly slowed.

  This action was immediately noticed by the several waiting in the passage ahead.

  "Has he been spotted?" Nine Heavens Venerable Moyu hummed.

  "Chen Guan is, after all, the most prestigious champion of the recent Alchemy Conferences. His mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. It's not surprising that he was spotted at such close range." Eight Heavens Venerable Prisoner's expression was calm, appearing confident.

  "Haha, haha, so what if he's discovered? Even if he wants to leave now, it's too late!" The Fourth Celestial Venerable, Xuehe, chuckled sinisterly, the surging blood energy oppressing the Eighth and Ninth Celestial Venerables.

  Only the Third Celestial Venerable remained silent, his brows furrowed slightly as he carefully sensed the situation.

  After a long pause, he uttered a note of surprise, "There are two more Dou Zun than reported, but they're both new here, so the impact isn't significant. They haven't fled, but are still approaching. Haha, perhaps in his eyes, the Demon Rain Prison is a place of suicidal intent."

  The Third Celestial Venerable shook his head and scoffed, but his movements were unwavering. He quickly sealed off the surrounding space, leaving only a single entrance, like a large pocket waiting for prey to enter.

  While the addition of two Dou Zun was a surprise, a Saint feared nothing!

  A Semi-Saint was still a Saint!
