How can there be such a strong superpower?

The source of everything can be said to be Xia Yue and the little girl in front of him.

But Chen Lusi didn't think the two of them did anything wrong. The girl was still young, so he didn't mention it.

As for Xia Yue, he really couldn't hate him. Regardless of whether he was right or not, he did what he thought was right. He really just felt that it was the right thing to do.

This can be seen from the fact that he lets the little girl go to school and gives her another restriction - 'Never try to resurrect me'.

He really just felt that it was right for the little girl to study.

Perhaps in his view, as a savior in extreme situations, his duty is to prevent such extreme situations from happening. If he cannot do that, and a little girl is required to save the world, then as an adult, he might as well commit suicide... Or maybe.

A self-centered but reliable person.

It was probably Chen Lusi's evaluation of him at the moment.

"How about it?"

Xia Yue had no idea what Chen Lusi was thinking. He looked at Chen Lusi's face and asked, "You probably understand the situation now. Do you still have any questions? Do you have an answer to the question I asked you the other day? Are you planning to change jobs, stay, or even resign?"

Hear this.

Chen Lusi hasn't responded yet.

The little girl standing next to Xia Yue suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi was about to reply when he noticed the little girl's gaze, paused, and looked at her.

The little girl lowered her head again, looking at her toes, then suddenly left Xia Yue, moved in front of Chen Lusi, and reached out to grab the corner of his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Chen Lusi was a little curious.

The little girl was a little shy and didn't know how to start. She hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't say anything. Instead, she stretched out her other hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands.

Like she didn't want him to leave.

Chen Lusi: "..."

“That’s not what I taught you.”

Xia Yue couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene: "I can't play the cute card like this, but she seems to like you very much... Neither Wu You nor Xia Panqiu have been treated like this."

"……I know."

Chen Lusi shook his head, then rubbed the little girl's head and said, "I'll think about it again. There's no rush anyway."

Even if he wanted to resign now, he probably wouldn't be able to say it.

This kind of delicate and pretty girl is easy to make people feel soft-hearted.

What's more, this is a bonus for Chen Lusi.

The Lin Ying sisters...were like this when they were little.

"also."

Xia Yue thought about it and nodded, "There's really no rush... Whether you want to quit, change jobs, or stay, you have to come back from Kunlun to finally realize it. It's just right that you can consider it during this time.

I haven't mentioned this yet, have I? You'll have to come with me to Kunlun Headquarters soon to give an explanation to the Tiance Mansion. But don't worry too much. Just tell Kunlun what you want to say, and then cooperate with their testing, and it'll basically be over.

I will accompany you then... After all, we are all compatriots. I can't solve all problems solely with my fists. If I cross that line, I will really become those old butts.

If this were another country that had nothing to do with me, I could try to solve all the problems with my fists, saying, "I'd rather let the world down than myself." That would probably look pretty cool...but it's a pity."

Say it.

He smiled and sighed, seeming helpless.

“…There is no record of my authority and power.”

Chen Lusi heard Xia Yue's words, looked at his face, and asked curiously, "Will there be any big trouble?"

At the time, it sounded like it would be troublesome.

"Looking at the current development of the situation, it shouldn't turn into a big problem."

Xia Yue pondered for a moment and explained, "Your power is currently only making you stronger, so you shouldn't be more sensitive than the little girl. Of course, this is on the premise that you don't side with me.

As for the matter of the Yellow Springs Fragments... Taishan may not be willing to let it become a conclusion, and I don't want to let it become a conclusion either. I guess the top leaders on Kunlun's side are not willing to do so either. This can be seen from the fact that they cooperated with the Tiance Mansion to suppress the news. You should know why.

Therefore, for ordinary members, this will become an unsolved case. The 'I' is too notorious. No matter how much evidence is there for their words, people will doubt their purpose.

Of course, there are still troubles. For ordinary members, the Lu Hao issue is an obstacle that cannot be avoided. The other is the senior management of the two departments. However, as long as I am alive, they will not be a big problem.

When the Monkey World opens, most of the high-level officials should be present. I will introduce them to you then.

Of course, your authority and ability must eventually be clarified. It's not us who must figure it out, but you yourself. Otherwise, when you enter the stone stage and need to accommodate the soul, it will be very troublesome."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Understood.

The three parties took the initiative to suppress the news, probably out of the same concerns.

In an organization where everyone is bound, suddenly an unbound member comes... This is not good news for both ordinary members and the top leaders, just like a catfish breaking into a tank filled with sardines.

For the top management, regardless of whether this matter is true or not, even if it is confirmed, it is impossible to announce such news, as this will only bring trouble to themselves.

They must be concerned privately... But since Xia Yue said that it's not a big problem as long as he's alive, it proves that he has the confidence to stop these people.

Therefore, his main source of pressure is still the huge number of ordinary members. Ordinary members do not have accurate information. Some believe it and some doubt it. In most cases, it should be okay... Mainly because of Lu Hao's matter.

However, Chen Lusi is not interested in taking sides. In his opinion, fighting and taking sides are both dead ends.

If it really doesn't work, just leave the group.

After all, it is really troublesome to solve this problem completely.

If you really want to solve it completely, it’s not impossible...but just be an ordinary person again.

But Chen Lusi’s authority and ability were not even recorded, so it was simply impossible at the moment.

Even if you quit your job, some troubles are probably inevitable.

"What is the Ape World?"

Chen Lu thought about this and breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of continuing to dwell on it, he changed the subject.

This morning, the group seemed to be discussing this matter.

"It's one of the earliest strange realms in the country, and also one of the few ancient strange realms that has not been solved to this day."

Xia Yue heard this and a look of helplessness appeared on his face. "This strange world is like a stubborn disease, but also like a treasure... As for what it is, when you mention monkeys, what comes to mind? Who is the first person that comes to mind?"

"...The one from Journey to the West?"

Chen Lu thought about it and replied subconsciously.

If you ask monkeys in the country, this person will most likely be the first person they come into contact with.

"That's what the enablers at the time thought too. After all, when it comes to popularity, few can compare to this household name."

Xia Yue said with a smile: "When this strange world appeared, many empowerers were nervous and excited, pinning their hopes on obtaining relevant authority and abilities. Even if it was from Taoism or the novel system, as long as it was a first-level authority... it would be a win.

After all, compared to those complicated myths and legends, novels about gods and demons are more familiar and have a wider range of dissemination. Many enablers even feel that the authority and power obtained from this alien world will be more powerful than the ancient ones.

However, when a group of empowerers entered the strange world, they discovered that although it was a monkey, that monkey... was much weaker than everyone had imagined.

It wasn't even a close encounter of the third kind, the kind where a sturdy adult could be hacked to death, and in the end no one gained authority.

Everyone was very disappointed at the time, thinking that this thing had nothing to do with the mythical novel."

“But the following year, at the same location, the strange world opened up again.”

"And this time... it's a true first contact. The origin is unknown, but Kunlun speculates it's Chang You, who just mutated due to all sorts of messed up legends."

"The word 'mutation' here isn't a modifier; it's a definite mutation... He looked incredibly strange, like a hybrid, and he could even wield a staff. He caused nearly two hundred casualties, and ultimately, a current Tiance master gained his authority."

"In the third year, the strange world opened again. This time, instead of granting authority, a macaque appeared."

"Yes, a macaque... Sometimes he looks like a monkey, sometimes like a human. Sometimes we can communicate with him, but we can't touch him. No matter what we do, we can't touch him. We can only observe him."

"Most of the time, that macaque acts like an ordinary animal...but at a certain time every year, it suddenly goes crazy, running around everywhere, rolling on the ground, and baring its teeth at people.

Then, at a certain critical point, it transformed into a strange realm. Some realms were strong, some weak. Some granted authority, some granted ancient artifacts, but without exception, they were all related to the monkey creature... just like all the legends about monkeys in China point to Him."

"This has been going on for nearly thirty years... This is the Ape World."

"..."

Chen Lusi asked in surprise: "Thirty years?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think I called it a chronic disease? It's because there's no way... Most of the time the macaques can't communicate. Once the strange situation is resolved, the macaques will revive, and then it will repeat itself like the rings of a tree."

Xia Yue shook his head. "The most troublesome thing is that He will steadily produce Level 1 authority. Basically, a Type 1 contact will occur every year."

Chen Lusi frowned slightly: "Isn't this a good thing?"

This can provide stable combat power.

Isn’t that a good thing?

"What if I told you that this alien world welcomes everyone and has no control over the entrances? Even the 'self' and the remnants of the old era can enter. It will also deny entry to high-level combatants with incomplete 'souls'."

Xia Yue looked at Chen Lusi and said with a smile, "Do you still think this is a good thing?"

Chen Lusi was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "You mean..."

"Correct."

Xia Yue was somewhat helpless: "Although the macaque is actually under the control of Tiance Mansion, every time it transforms into a different realm, the empowerer can not only enter the different realm from the 'main gate'...but also enter through the side door, such as worshiping the macaque's portrait.

The granting of authority and power does not depend on one's stance. The activated legend will not deny authority to others just because they have bad intentions, nor will it grant authority to others just because they are good people.

So every year...there is a big fight in the alien world."

Chen Lusi: “…”

"And the most troublesome thing is... He still refuses those whose souls are missing to enter this place."

Xia Yue continued, "You don't know what this means. After forming a stone, every empowerer must try to use the stone in their heart to contain their soul. This means... none of the high-level officials in Tiance Mansion can enter.

Every time, we could only watch... To be honest, I once secretly tried to punch that macaque with all my strength, but it was useless."

"..."

Chen Lusi understood.

This does sound quite troublesome... High-level combat forces cannot enter, but Tiance Mansion cannot just ignore it. After all, the first-level authority looks quite strong, and they can only watch the 'self' or the remnants of the old era take it.

For the Tiance Mansion, that would be chronic suicide.

Therefore, only ordinary members are allowed to enter.

But inside, not only do we have to face the threatening first-class legends, we also have to face the mad dogs of the 'self'...

The top brass is powerless...

Think of this.

He couldn't help but shook his head. It was really miserable.

"don’t worry."

Seeing Chen Lusi's expression, Xia Yue thought he was worried and explained, "You don't have to go in. I won't agree to this either. The Third Battalion is stationed here this year, so this kind of thing won't happen to you anyway.

If this happened at sea, I would still give you some advice, but forget about the trivial internal matters. If the Tiance Mansion is to always rely on someone to be its savior, it is better to disband it.

I tell you this just to let you know. When you go to Kunlun, you can take a look.
