Chapter 547 – Surrender
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Black Dream Group was a name that Chen Heng could not avoid. In other places, it would be fine, but in this world, when Chen Heng’s rise was mentioned, it was impossible to avoid the Black Dream Group.
This force was not strong at all in the entire galaxy. It was just an ordinary small force. It could only dominate a small place like the Qika Federation. Even for the current Round Table, such a small force was nothing
and could easily blow up a large number of people, not to mention the current Star Alliance.
However, this small force had produced a figure like Chen Heng. Chen Heng had once walked out from the Black Dream Group and left a deep mark. It wasn’t just Chen Heng, but even Jiang Wen was once a member of
the Black Dream Group. She was once the direct descendant of a high-ranking official.
However, so much time had pa.s.sed since then. What had this faction become? Chen Heng was very curious about this.
“The Black Dream Group still exists, and it’s developing quite well because of you, captain.” Jiang Wen deliberated on her words and then carefully said.
Her words surprised Chen Heng. Does the Black Dream Group still exist? What Chen Heng had done back then couldn’t be small. After all, not only did he kill many people in the Round Table, but he also directly
defeated the Crimson Knight avatar that had descended back then, significantly losing the Round Table’s face.
According to Chen Heng’s thoughts, even if the Round Table did not liquidate the Black Dream Group because of him, it would at least be affected, causing its development to be more complex after that. However,
from Jiang Wen’s words, it seemed that the Black Dream Group not only still existed today but had even developed quite well.
“It’s the Crimson Knight…” Jiang Wen met Chen Heng’s somewhat puzzled gaze and said some things about the past.
It turned out that the Crimson Knight had specially instructed the forces of the Round Table stationed on Qika Star not to make things difficult for the Black Dream Group and had even given them some benefits. This
was the Crimson Knight’s reward to Chen Heng back then.
“The Crimson Knight had admired you very much back then. Even though your avatar had fallen on Qika Star, she did not take revenge but had even specially instructed that no one was allowed to make things difficult
for us.” Jiang Wen glanced at Chen Heng before speaking cautiously.
“The Crimson Knight, huh…” Hearing Jiang Wen’s words, Chen Heng was stunned before nodding his head.
This indeed seemed to be the work of a Crimson Knight. Everyone in this world was different. Even though they were the Five Knights, their personalities were very different.
If the person on the Qika Star was not the Crimson Knight but a Blue Knight, then Chen Heng reckoned that the Black Dream Group, his parents, and friends, and the entire Qika Federation would not be able to protect
him. He would be directly killed and turned into dust in the galaxy.
As for the Crimson Knight, her personality was significantly different from that of the Blue Knight. Thinking about it carefully, perhaps it was precisely that Chen Heng’s parents could survive without being greatly
disturbed.
After all, with the Round Table’s influence, the Qika Federation would not be able to conceal it for too long if they wanted to find them. They might even hand over Chen Heng’s parents and family members as they
cannot withstand the tremendous pressure and temptation from the Round Table. The reason why this did not happen was precisely because of the Crimson Knight.
With this thought in mind, Chen Heng fell into deep thought. He thought of the Crimson Knight. She gave Chen Heng a pretty good impression compared to the other people in the Round Table. At the very least, Chen
Heng did not feel much hostility from her, nor did he think of the b.l.o.o.d.y smell of slaughtering the stars when she moved. There was only pure fighting will on her body and nothing else.
The Crimson Knight was the only one who had faced Philip head-on but survived that attack in that battle, which meant something. This knight was different from the other knights. The Crimson Knight was still in the
seal at this moment, suppressed by Chen Heng in the Star Alliance’s headquarters within Hechi Star.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Heng raised his head again and looked at Jiang Wen. They talked about many things. Chen Heng also learned about some of his former friends from Jiang Wen.
In the past, Liu Rou, who was responsible for investing in Chen Heng and digging out Chen Heng, had already left Qika star and headed to other star areas.
“Her ability is strong. Now, she has already left Black Dream Group and established another force on her own.” A different expression appeared on Jiang Wen’s face as she spoke.
Chen Heng nodded, hearing this. This was indeed Liu Rou’s personality. From what he understood, Liu Rou’s personality was initially strong. She could leave the Black Dream Group as long as the conditions were
suitable.
As for the original leader of the Black Dream Group, Dongfang Xiong had already retired. This incident started after Chen Heng left Qika Star, and a few days had already pa.s.sed. He seemed to be afraid of being
affected by Chen Heng’s incident. Hence he chose to retire, not expose himself to the eyes of others.
He still had a lot of influence just a few years after his retirement. After all, he was still a fifth rank powerhouse at his peak. However, even he would not have thought that Chen Heng would become like this after a few
years. Thinking of this, Chen Heng could not help but smile.
After chatting with Jiang Wen for a while, until the sky gradually darkened, Chen Heng and Jiang Wen stopped reminiscing. After that, they got someone to bring Jiang Wen down to rest.
Soon, Chen Heng was the only one left in the vast courtyard. He looked at the galaxy and the boundless land before him.
“It seems like it’s time to go back…” He stood alone in the same place and looked at the galaxy in the distance. Then, this thought flashed through his mind.
In the distance, the appearance of Qika Star seemed to appear before his eyes, as dazzling as before. Many of Chen Heng’s old friends were there. Of course, there were also the parents of his body. He left these traces
behind in this world no matter what was said, and it could not be denied or cut off.
And counting the time, several years had already pa.s.sed. Therefore, Chen Heng planned to bring Lu Yao back to Qika Star. It wasn’t that he wanted to do anything else. He just wanted to go back to the parents of this
body. Otherwise, staying in the Qika Federation wasn’t a solution.
Chen Heng and Lu Yao’s ident.i.ties were already different now. Suppose his parents continued to stay in the Qika Federation. Who knew when they would be captured by someone and used as blackmail. This was a
hidden danger. If possible, it would be better to solve it. Otherwise, there would be some trouble in the future. This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. Of course, before that, he still had other things to do.
The next day, the sun shone on the earth, illuminating the surrounding.
Early that morning, Chen Heng arrived at the depths of the Hechi star, a place filled with seals. This was the depths of the Hechi Star, an extremely deep and difficult to find the area. Densely packed runes flickered,
illuminating the surroundings, appearing exceptionally bright. These runes were the foundation of the magic formation on the Hechi Star.
After that battle, Chen Heng and the Black King did not idle around in the following few years. In addition to their cultivation, they had also strengthened the Hechi Star’s magic formation, making the defense of this
star even more indestructible. And this was the core, the strongest and most st.u.r.dy place within the Hechi Star.
Usually, no one would be able to enter this place if it weren’t for the permission of Chen Heng and the Black King. And here, a figure appeared. Chen Heng looked forward. A figure was drawn out and displayed before
his eyes among the dense runes before him.
tt was a figure that looked like a woman. Her entire body was covered in runes as if she was in a state of silence. The sky full of runes shrouded her, completely suppressing all the power in her body, causing her to
remain in stillness. Even if she had mighty power, she could not use it.
This was none other than the Crimson Knight. This once incomparably mighty knight had been suppressed here after the battle back then. She had never been able to find a chance to escape.
n reality, she did not have much of a chance. This was the origin of the magic formation in Hechi Star, and it was also the place with the most tenacious defense.
Even when the Crimson Knight was at her peak, she was utterly helpless and could not do much against the magic formation’s suppression, not to mention now. After the Crimson Knight was suppressed, this place had
been empty for several years.
[t wasn’t until Chen Heng’s arrival that things began to change. The sky was filled with runes, but this place began to change with Chen Heng’s arrival. Under Chen Heng’s gaze, the runes before him exploded, and all
kinds of changes unfolded automatically, revealing the appearance of the Crimson Knight.
Very quickly, as the suppression of the runes disappeared, the aura belonging to the Crimson Knight once again appeared. She slowly opened her eyes. A powerful aura was released and exposed. If it were in the
outside world, it would be able to easily cause changes to the celestial phenomena and even the entire star.
However, this aura was directly suppressed under the magic formation’s enormous power and did not cause any changes. Yet, the Crimson Knight just looked at Chen Heng’s figure and did not care about this.
“Why are you here?” She looked at Chen Heng before her solemnly as if she were facing a great enemy.
“How does it feel to be suppressed here for two years?” Chen Heng did not reply to the Crimson Knight’s words but just looked at her and smiled before speaking softly.
“If you want to know, you can try it yourself.” Hearing Chen Heng’s words, the Crimson Knight frowned, and her expression was a little sour, “If you came here just to mock me, then there’s no need.”
“You’ve misunderstood.” Chen Heng shook his head, his face still carrying a gentle smile, “I came here this time not to mock you but to thank you.”
“Thank me?” The Crimson Knight was stunned as she didn’t expect this outcome.
Chen Heng nodded, then he directly transmitted the message into the Crimson Knight’s mind. For existence like them, many messages didn’t need to be transmitted by voice. They could use their true spirit power to
scan the message directly. The speed was much faster than verbal communication. In just an instant, the Crimson Knight understood Chen Heng’s meaning.
She shook her head and said, “There’s no need for that. I just don’t have the habit of attacking the weak.” She looked at Chen Heng before saying seriously.
“No matter what, just this alone is enough.” Chen Heng still had a smile on his face, and he said, “I will let you go and give you two choices as a token of appreciation.”
“Huh?” The Crimson Knight’s eyes flickered. She seemed a little surprised but did not say anything. She just looked at Chen Heng quietly, waiting for his answer.
“The first choice is for you to leave directly.” Chen Heng smiled and then said, “You leave directly from here. You can go anywhere you want.”
“It doesn’t matter even if I go back?” The Crimson Knight said coldly and interrupted.
“That’s not it.” Chen Heng smiled and then shook his head. “Before you leave, the Round Table will be destroyed.”
Although Chen Heng himself didn’t care about some things, others would. If Chen Heng let the Crimson Knight go out of grat.i.tude and returned to the Round Table, it would be against him and the others. A peak sixth
rank powerhouse could unleash such strength on the battlefield. With Chen Heng and the others not making a move, it could be said that they had wiped out the entire alliance.
If the Crimson Knight returned to the Round Table, then the Star Alliance would suffer many casualties in pacifying the round table. Who knew how many people did not need to die and how many families would fall
apart. There might even be Chen Heng’s friends and some acquaintances among them. Therefore, Chen Heng would not do such a thing.
If the Crimson Knight made such a choice, even though Chen Heng would not break the contract, he would delay the time for the Crimson Knight to leave. Only when the Round Table was indeed destroyed and the
Twilight Knight was completely suppressed would the Crimson Knight be able to regain her freedom and walk on this land again.
The war would have already ended, and everything would have been settled by then. At that time, even if the Crimson Knight were free again, it would not matter.
Naturally, the Crimson Knight understood this as well. She was silent, then she nodded and continued, “What’s the second choice?”
“The second choice…” Chen Heng glanced at the Crimson Knight, then he smiled and said, “You will join the Star Alliance and become one of us. In return, you will also witness a brand new world and witness all the
wonderful things that you have never experienced before.”
“Wonderful things that I have never experienced before?” The Crimson Knight could not help but smile, hearing Chen Heng’s words. She appeared to be a little careless and also a little disdainful.
As the peak powerhouse of this world, she had already seen all the scenery that she could witness. She had already experienced all kinds of wonderful things in this world, so how could there be anything that she had
never experienced? Perhaps there were some things and mysteries in this world that even the Crimson Knight had never touched, but there were not many.
Therefore, the Crimson Knight was unconcern about Chen Heng’s words and did not think much about it. However, she was stunned the next moment.
Before her, a Golden Gate suddenly opened. Light shone, and the aura of the world origin was emitted. A shocking scene unfolded before her eyes. Behind Chen Heng, a river ran through the void and the entire area.
Like the sun, stars were flickering, emitting light and darkness within that river, exuding the radiance of the world. These stars shockingly represented different worlds.
“T-This is…” Immediately, the Crimson Knight was stunned. She looked at Chen Heng with shock.
As a peak powerhouse of this world, the Crimson Knight had already come into contact with the world level and sensed the world’s auras. Therefore, she quickly recognized the situation before her.
The stars sparkling like the sun and exceptionally bright were no other than worlds. Moreover, it was not the world she was in.
“What exactly is this?” The scene shocked the Crimson Knight, and she could not help but look at Chen Heng, wanting to know an answer.
“As what you see.” Chen Heng still had a gentle smile on his face and said the answer, “This is the Boundary Sea, and also the River of Void…”
“What is presented in it is the scenes of various worlds?”
“I originate from it.”
“Originate from it?” A hint of surprise flashed across the Crimson Knight’s face while listening to Chen Heng’s words.
Some of the doubts in her heart were finally resolved. Previously, regarding Chen Heng’s power, she felt puzzled and did not understand how he did it. However, if it originated from outer s.p.a.ce and came from another
world, everything could be explained.
“A brand-new world, a brand-new mystery, and experience?” The Crimson Knight looked at the twinkling stars before him and the scene of the various worlds competing for splendor. She could not help but smile,
“Not bad indeed. I agree to your conditions.”
The light words resounded in the surroundings. Chen Heng’s face also revealed a smile, listening to the Crimson Knight’s words.
At this point, the Crimson Knight had joined and become a member of the Star Alliance, which was such a tremendous supplement to the Star Alliance..
