Outside Planet Shenwu.
After everyone briefly sensed Lu Ze’s terrifying chi, the insectoid’s chi disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other.
‘That quickly?’
This insectoid died so fast that they didn’t dare to believe it.
At this moment, there was a ripple in space, and Lu Ze and the girls appeared.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang and the star state flew over.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang hugged Nangong Jing and asked worriedly, “Jing Jing, are you okay?”
Nangong Jing blushed. She wasn’t a child anymore, but her mother still treated her like one sometimes.
She broke free from Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s arms and smiled. “Don’t worry, we’re all fine.”
Then, she questioned Lu Ze, “Ze, where is the insectoid?”
Lu Ze smiled. “It has been turned into a keepsake.”
Everyone: “???”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang was taken aback. “A keepsake? What keepsake?”
Liu Zhiyun’s mouth twitched. He didn’t want to talk about it at all.
Lu Ze smiled and took out the flattened insectoid. Immediately, a destructive chi permeated the air.
The star states froze and felt a sliver of pressure.
This cosmic system state was already a corpse, but as a cosmic system state, even its carcass still contained powerful chi.
Of course, it wasn’t comparable to the chi it had when it was alive.
Lu Ze smiled. “This is it. it’s quite pretty, isn’t it?”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang: “…”
The star states: “…”
They looked at the keepsake strangely.
‘Did he actually consider it a keepsake?’
Lu Ze said regretfully, “Pity Jing Jing and the other girls didn’t want me to display it at home.”
Hearing this, Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s mouth twitched. She rolled her eyes and felt speechless.
After a period of silence, Zuoqiu Xunshuang smiled politely. “Just put it away first. The chi of your… sample is still potent. Low-level martial artists can’t probably handle it.”
Lu Ze nodded and followed her wishes.
He planned to give it to the elders instead.
At this moment, Lu Ze looked around.
He didn’t come across the elders.
How come the insectoids were here, but the elders didn’t intervene?
He scanned the surroundings. Still, he couldn’t find their auras at all.
He frowned and raised a brow. “Aunty Xunshuang, where is Elder Lin?”
Nangong Jing and the others looked curiously at Zuoqiu Xunshuang.
Lin Ling couldn’t resist asking, “Yes, Aunty Xunshuang, where are my grandfather and the elders? Why aren’t they here?”
They didn’t see the elders when they came out either.
If they were here, things wouldn’t be this troublesome.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang and the others were stunned. Their faces fell, and so did Liu Zhiyun’s.
Lu Ze was taken aback. They realized the severity of the situation. “What’s wrong, Aunty Xunshuang? Did something else happen?”
Otherwise, the elders would be present right now.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang responded, “When Jing Jing and Hesha were breaking through, the elders heard a report from the border. They said an insectoid lair was spotted, so they went over to check it.”
“But…” Her face went bad. “Not long after they went over, the insectoid lair appeared near planet Shenwu. However, the elders haven’t returned since then.”
All of their expressions changed drastically.
“Did something else happen? How is this possible?” Lu Ze was in disbelief.
With their current powers, even if they encountered someone who just reached the cosmic cloud state, they had better chances of killing the other party with their trump cards.
Why didn’t they come back then?
Zuoqiu Xunshuang shook her head and frowned. “When Jing Jing and the girls stalled the level-7 cosmic system state insectoid, we received a report about some kind of clashes coming from the direction of the insectoid lair. It was said to be quite intense.”
Lu Ze frowned.
‘The insectoid lair?’
‘There was an ongoing battle?’
‘There were others?’
Lu Ze thought about it and asked, “Aunty Xunshang, where are the battle waves located? I’ll go have a look.”
The elders had always been really nice to him. He wasn’t going to leave them out there.
He wasn’t as strong as the elders, but he had his trump cards.
He hadn’t even used that summoning crystal yet.
He didn’t have the opportunity to use it.
Perhaps he could this time?
Zuoqiu Xunshuang patted Lu Ze’s arm. “We wanted to wait for you to break through and then go over to look. After all, we can’t intervene with their battles at all.”
Lu Ze smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, if something really happened to the elders, there would be news coming from the border. They should still be fine. I’ll go over and have a look.”
At this moment, Nangong Jing said, “We’ll follow you.”
Seeing how firm their resolve was and how their chi finally recovered, Lu Ze agreed. “Okay.”
They weren’t as strong as he was, but they were strong enough to release a relatively good blow to the enemy.
Liu Zhiyun wanted to go too, but thinking about his current power, he didn’t voice it out.
With a flash of silver light, the group disappeared again.
Everyone was quite serious.
The elders had been the supporting pillars of the Human Race and leading them into the cosmic era while protecting them simultaneously.
This was the reason why they were called saints.
Liu Zhiyun sighed. “Hopefully, the elders are fine.”
When he was young, there were still twelve saints. He went through an era where saints were dying one by one until now.
He had gone through far more than most of the star states here.
That was why he wanted the elders to live even more.
The other star states nodded. A few high-level star states also had complicated expressions.
Their ages were similar to Liu Zhiyun’s.
Some were even older than Liu Zhiyun.
The Human Race was getting better now.
The Monarch of the New Dawn was absurdly strong, he would definitely reach the cosmic cloud state and even beyond the cosmic realm state. By then, the entire Human Race would prosper.
The elders had been fighting for the Human Race their entire lives. They didn’t have the time to savor it yet. They couldn’t leave just when they were about to enjoy themselves.
Liu Zhiyun smiled. “Don’t worry, the elders are fortunate. They will be fine. By the way, Xunshuang. Who are those few young people?”
Moreover, that youth seemed quite intimate with all those young girls…
He wanted to know the gossip.
The Zhihuang Guild looked at Liu Zhiyun strangely.
He still didn’t know that was Lu Ze?
Zuoqiu Xunshuang didn’t mind. She smiled. “That youth is called Lu Ze, the Monarch of the New Dawn of the Human Race. I think he is 22 years old this year.”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s own face became strange after saying that, just like everyone else.
They knew Lu Ze’s power was terrifying and his talent was outrageous, but they all forgot about his age.
‘That kid is just a bit over twenty!’
Most of them were ten times his age…
They couldn’t compare at all.
Liu Zhiyun’s face stiffened.
‘Wait…’
‘That kid is the Monarch of the New Dawn?’
He thought about how he said he would leave a share of resources for Lu Ze to the elders.
His 1700-year-old face blushed. This was too awkward.
That youth was so much stronger than he could ever be.
‘What resources could he give him?!’
