Start with push-ups to gain experience

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiandong's tightly furrowed brows did not relax, and his eyes revealed a hint of inquiry.

Zheng Hongxin walked to a stone bench and sat down, leaning on his cane with his hands folded, and spoke slowly:
“They lost so many high-ranking officers on Yong'an Island last time, and even withdrew from their local strongholds.”

“I have sent people to investigate, and it seems that in the past six months or so, the Noah organization has withdrawn a lot of its troops that have been deployed around the world.”

He paused, then continued:
“A few months ago, Noah Pharmaceuticals in Dongdu was investigated by the Xia Kingdom government. On the surface, the company was researching biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, but in reality, it was the core asset of the Xia Kingdom branch of the Noah organization, and it controlled very important experimental data and financial lifeline.”

"According to reliable sources, Noah Building was attacked by a powerful enemy and a large-scale explosion occurred. The entire branch suffered heavy losses as a result, and many members were arrested by the special search team, resulting in almost the complete annihilation of the entire force."

"At present, the Noah Organization is most likely preoccupied with its own problems or has been held back by other matters, and has a more important plan to play."

At this point, a glint of light flashed in Zheng Hongxin's cloudy eyes.

"Furthermore, when Luo Lie broke into headquarters last year, I fought him and deliberately used the title of 'God Child' to trick him."

“Those guys are naturally suspicious. They probably think we’ve already opened up the underwater secret realm and made contact with that mysterious world.”

"Therefore, we dare not risk this trouble again before we have a thorough understanding of our situation."

After listening to Professor An's analysis of the situation, Chen Jiandong's lips curled into a bitter smile.

He looked up and glanced at the towering altar.

"Son of God..."

Chen Jiandong shook his head and sighed:
"We know best in our hearts that there is no such thing as a divine child."

"Where did that masked, muscular man who punched and destroyed Noah's cadres with one punch that night come from? We still haven't caught a glimpse of him."

Zheng Hongxin remained silent for a long time.

The stormy, bloody night from six months ago resurfaced in my mind.

The sight of that towering figure, like a sea god descending to earth, still sends a shiver down his spine.

"Whoever he is, at least he helped us wipe out the remaining enemy forces that night."

Zheng Hongxin gripped his cane tightly with both hands and slammed it twice on the rocky ground, producing a dull thud.

"What we need to do now is to guard Yong'an Island, keep a close eye on the progress of the probe, and wait for it to be completed and launched."

"As long as we can successfully enter that world and find the chairman's whereabouts, the situation will definitely be completely turned around."

"As for now, we can only leave it to fate."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the back of his hand to cover his mouth and couldn't help but cough a few times in a low voice.

Chen Jiandong lowered his eyes and quietly watched Zheng Hongxin's hunched figure.

The teacher's body was already on the verge of mutation due to a chronic blood disorder.

After the life-threatening battle six months ago, he is now frail and old, and even breathing steadily has become a luxury.

The reason he has been able to endure this broken body until now is because

Half of it was due to their indomitable spirit and will, and the other half was due to the Stone of Truth stabilizing their vitality and locking in their origin.

However, the spiritual energy of the stone tablet is rapidly fading away, and if it continues to be wasted, it won't last much longer.

Chen Jiandong remained silent, only secretly hoping that the chairman would return soon to take charge.

To outsiders, the Zhenxiang Society occupies Yong'an Island and possesses immense and unfathomable power.

Only these core members knew that the entire guild was now like a leaky, dilapidated ship, ready to capsize and sink at any moment in the unknown storms.

Chen Jiandong couldn't see a way out, and his mind was filled with confusion.

The only thing we can do right now is to do our best to advance the deep-sea exploration program and share some of the burden with our teachers.

Outside the cave, a sea breeze began to rise.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the day, Yong'an Island sheds its extravagance and reveals a tranquility unique to islands.

On the breakwater of the distant port, rows of orange streetlights faintly illuminated the dim dock.

The moored fishing boats bobbed up and down with the surging waves, and the navigation lights on their masts flashed alternately in the darkness.

A full moon hangs high in the sky, its cold white light spilling onto the undulating sea, refracting into tiny, shimmering ripples.

From a high vantage point, the entire island appears to float alone on the sea, like a lone boat enveloped in endless darkness.

Inside the hotel's top-floor suite, the lights were off and the air conditioning was running silently.

Fang Cheng stood in front of the wide French windows, his gaze sweeping over the bustling commercial street nearby and quietly fixed on the deep sea in the distance.

After arriving at Yong'an Island this afternoon, he first spent half a day with Wen Xin flying kites on the beach, watching the little girl and Pan Wendi running around and having a water fight in the shallow water.

After dark, the group strolled through the island's unique open-air night market, enjoying a variety of grilled oysters and local snacks along the way, until the little girl was so full she could barely walk.

The long journey and half a day of intense sightseeing left Zhou Xiumei and Wen Xin, who were already not in good physical condition, exhausted early on.

To rejuvenate and prepare for diving at the natural coral reef on the east side of the island the next day, everyone ate and drank their fill before returning to the hotel and going to their rooms to rest.

After gazing at the night view outside the window for a while, Fang Cheng turned away and walked towards the large double bed.

He kicked off his slippers and climbed into bed.

After adjusting his sitting posture in the center of the bed, he let his hands hang naturally and placed them on his lower abdomen (Dantian).

Then take a deep breath and slowly exhale through your mouth and nose.

As the breath was exhaled, the tense muscles throughout the body gradually relaxed.

His eyelids drooped slightly, and his restless mind quickly calmed down.

The room was dimly lit, with only the faint sound of the air conditioner vents whirring.

The whole world seemed to become a million times quieter in an instant.

Fang Cheng sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became long and even.

Based on past experience, his consciousness would quickly detach from reality and sink into the mental world that he controlled.

However, this time, an unexpected change occurred.

The moment my consciousness sank, I didn't experience the familiar feeling of weightlessness; instead, I was enveloped in a wave of dampness.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The sound of waves crashing against the rocks echoed deep within my mind.

At first it was far away, but in the blink of an eye it was right next to us.

Fang Cheng felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless deep sea, surrounded by a continuous stream of cold liquid.

In the darkness, a faint call could be heard.

The voice had no specific syllables, yet it conveyed an extreme gentleness.

It's like a mother gently calling to her long-lost son, or singing a beautiful lullaby.

It even has a comforting quality that makes you want to let your guard down and immerse yourself in it.

Fang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from between his brows.

The golden light spread rapidly outwards from his forehead, enveloping his entire body in the blink of an eye.

The hotel suite, which was originally pitch black, was instantly illuminated by this hazy golden halo, revealing even the patterns on the wallpaper and carpet in minute detail.

At the same time, deep within Fang Cheng's consciousness, a dazzling sun slowly rose.

The raging light and heat tore through the surrounding darkness, instantly evaporating the illusory seawater that tried to seep in.

The gentle call vanished as if struck by lightning. "Whoosh—"

Fang Cheng took a deep breath, concealing the fluctuations in his eyes, clearing away any remaining distracting thoughts, and entered a meditative state once more.

The illusory sound of the tides faded away completely.

The next second, he felt light and landed steadily on the land of the inner world.

With his feet firmly planted on the soft soil, Fang Cheng looked around.

The breeze blowing in my face carries a rich, fresh scent of grass and trees, which is refreshing and invigorating.

During this period of time, this land has been developing rapidly and changing at an unprecedented pace.

The grass underfoot was thicker than the last time I came, with blades of grass intertwined and covering the ground, almost reaching my ankles.

In the nearby forest, the tree canopies rose several meters high, and the branches and leaves grew very lush.

The river that runs through the entire island has been widened considerably, and the water rushes forward, washing over both banks and creating white waves on the surface.

As long as we concentrate our spiritual power, we can magnify the scene before our eyes.

A completely different microscopic world will slowly emerge in your field of vision.

Countless translucent, gelatinous, and uniquely shaped tiny specks of light floated and moved about in the water and in the soil.

These are all primitive life forms evolved from pure life energy, and they are thriving and multiplying in this world.

Fang Cheng gazed at this vibrant world and nodded slightly.

Then, he raised his right hand and waved it gently in the air.

The golden sun, hanging in the very center of the sky, sank downwards, and the entire horizon quickly darkened.

A vast shadow swept in, and a blood moon with a faint red glow slowly rose from behind the mountain ridge, taking over the entire sky.

Fang Cheng raised his head, his gaze slowly sweeping across the vast and boundless universe.

In the center of this star field, in addition to the bright stars representing Lin Chuqiao, Wen Xin and others, three new points of light appeared.

Their light is stable and pure, slowly moving along a fixed trajectory.

Those were the coordinates of Li Jie, Li Fei, and Li Ran's consciousness.

That night, Fang Cheng personally rescued them from the clutches of the Black Shark organization, and the three of them were completely devoted to the organization from then on.

The spiritual bond between them thus becomes unbreakable.

Fang Cheng withdrew his gaze and turned it toward the far edge of the starry sky.

Several dark red stars floated there, representing Ira, Kyle, and others from the wasteland world.

At this moment, the light emitted by these stars, though faint, was very stable, showing no signs of crumbling.

This means that they are currently in a normal state in that cruel world and have not yet encountered any fatal danger.

After confirming the believer's condition, Fang Cheng lowered his hand and prepared to turn around and enter the palace.

"Splash—"

A muffled sound of surging waves suddenly echoed through the inner world.

Fang Cheng paused, his brows furrowing instantly.

The sound of the tides, which had just been dispelled by the golden light in reality, actually penetrated his mental barrier and invaded his inner world.

He turned his head and looked toward the edge of the island, following the sound.

Originally, the island was surrounded by a chaotic black mist that blocked the view, representing the unexplored void.

But at this moment, the black mist was slowly rising and falling with a certain frequency.

A salty, humid seawater scent filled the air.

The gravel on the ground trembled slightly, creating a subtle resonance effect.

It makes one feel that beyond the black fog, there truly exists a vast and boundless ocean.

The surging waves are coming in waves from the distant horizon, continuously crashing against the embankment.

This inner world of his own no longer seemed like an isolated island floating in the void.

Instead, it actually fell into the ocean, completely enveloped in azure blue.

Fang Cheng focused his attention for a moment and keenly sensed the anomaly.

The oceanic atmosphere surrounding the island did not actually reveal any intention to cause destruction.

It stubbornly pounded against the edge of the island, as if trying to establish some kind of connection, or perhaps conveying some obscure message.

That gentle, mysterious call, rising and falling with the tides, seeped through the black mist and entered my mind once more.

"Could it be that blue phantom contacting me?"

Fang Cheng pursed his lips slightly, a hint of inquiry and wariness flashing in his eyes.

He did not rashly divert his mental energy to contact the outer "seawater".

Until the source of this force is understood, keeping your distance is the safest course of action.

Fang Cheng withdrew his gaze, turned around, and strode towards the golden palace in the center of the island.

The heavy palace doors were slowly pushed open, and footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

No lights were lit inside the hall, yet a soft and bright golden light circulated throughout.

The massive load-bearing columns are carved with intricate patterns, and the dome soars into the clouds, as if connecting to the endless void.

Fang Cheng walked straight to the end of the hall, sat down steadily on the golden throne, and rested his arms on the armrests.

He raised his head, his gaze passing through the towering dome of the main hall, settling on the ever-undulating chaotic tides at the edge of the starry sky, and fell into deep thought.

Back then, when I first tried meditation in the meditation hall of the True Thought Association with my teacher, I also had this illusory sound of tides in my mind.

That time, he almost succumbed to it, nearly losing his self-awareness and remaining asleep in that deep blue sea world for a long time.

Fortunately, he possesses the epic talent of "omniscient language".

At the critical moment when he was about to succumb, relying on the "primal vowels" echoing in his mind, he forcibly tore through the call and temptation of that gentle voice and finally regained control of his consciousness.

Now, having returned to Yong'an Island, this mysterious voice has come to him once again.

What exactly does it want to do?
Is it driven by some kind of instinctive attraction based on bloodline, or is it hiding an unfathomable scheme?
Fang Cheng sat upright on the throne, lost in thought for a long time.

Suddenly his gaze sharpened, sweeping across the starry sky above and locking onto a bright, twinkling point of light.

Then, with a slight parting of his lips, he uttered two words:

"Descend."

As soon as the words were spoken, a decree took effect instantly within the palace.

A deep hum resounded, and the entire golden hall burst forth with an even more dazzling luster.

The "Sun Heart Network" was activated instantly, and the invisible spiritual link that transcends physical space was completely established.

Then, a dazzling beam of light descended from the sky and landed on the red carpet in front of the throne.

Countless points of light converged, twisted, and stretched within it, eventually coalescing into a human shape, and the light dissipated.

The professor opened his eyes somewhat blankly, subconsciously pushed up his glasses, and looked up at the figure on the high platform:

"President, did you need something from me?" (End of Chapter)
