Chapter 905: Chapter 779: Return to the Abyss
“Welcome to your affiliation, neither my teacher nor I may spend much time in the Old Development Area, so I’ll need your assistance with some daily matters.”
Tao Yu spoke to Lady Long and Long Yin’er with a businesslike demeanor, exuding restraint.
Lady Long responded with a dignified curtsey.
Now announced as a Catastrophe Level talent and a disciple of a Saint, Tao Yu was fully entitled to such courtesies.
It was Long Yin’er, however, whose curiosity was piqued as she scrutinized Tao Yu and inquired with some confusion,
“Mr. Tao, do you happen to know Mr. Klein?”
“Klein is my friend, and we have a good relationship,” Tao Yu answered sincerely, without lying, though the interpretation was left to the listener.
Beside Tao Yu, Sun Shiyu’s beautiful eyes wandered, as if pondering something, then she revealed a rather subtle expression.
She whispered in Tao Yu’s ear,
“The Klein that appeared at the State Capital back then, that was you, right?”
Seeing that Tao Yu did not respond, she continued,
The teasing in her voice raised a warmth in Tao Yu’s heart, and also left him somewhat speechless – typical of an Abyss Demon lineage…
“We’ve been taken to the Suns’ estate in the Abyss already, so there’s no need to worry about our safety. When bored, we can even do some farming in the courtyard. Just take good care of yourself.”
Tao Long watched his child with a hint of wistfulness, knowing from the initial awakening of talent that he would change the destiny of the entire family.
But he never expected it to change so drastically.
He thought living in the Inner City would have been good enough, a lifelong dream.
But now it seems like a fantasy.
A Catastrophe Level in less than three years, with a Saint for a teacher, it’s beyond any ceiling he could have ever imagined.
He didn’t even know what Catastrophe Level meant before!
“The Suns have just taken over; indeed, caution is needed. Once things stabilize, you can come out and about. This is something my teacher gave me, one for each of you, that can protect you in a critical moment,” Tao Yu said, distributing several fine scroll-like scrolls.
These were protective items created in the same manner as Saint Ou once did, infusing his Sacred Intent into the script. The materials were directly sourced from Saint Xing, and because of the peculiar trait of his own Sacred Intent, a set of Cthulhu-style Fist Intentions should solve most threats below the level of Sainthood.
For ordinary Saints, splitting their Sacred Intent is also a significant self-consumption.
For Tao Yu, however, it’s more about the limitation of materials.
Tao Long, who increasingly found his miraculous son bewildering, didn’t refuse and distributed one to each family member.
“Safety comes first.”
For parents, Tao Yu’s accomplishments were already beyond imagination. Just maintaining the current state was more than enough; what was of greater importance was peace and safety.
But now the child had grown up, and their experiences and opinions were no longer relevant, so apart from reminders, they had no advice to offer.
“Don’t worry, I’m very cautious, and with Cross-Boundary Communication, I will regularly report my safety.”
Then, while solidifying his new Talent, Tao Yu utilized Yuan Force Acceleration to digest it completely over the course of an additional month.
He also took time out to spend with his parents and enjoy post-nuptial warmth with the little rich women.
Possibly due to the desire to try for a baby within the month, the little rich women were full of vim every day, almost always in an overflowing state.
However, the higher the grade of Talent and bloodline, the more challenging it becomes.
Even with Succubus enchantments, there was no news after a month.
“Something must have gone wrong with your teleportation as well. Even under the protection of a teacher, one must remain vigilant,” Sun Shiyu combed her hair lazily, the strands conveniently covering the critical parts upfront.
“Heh, still using that teaching tone, huh?”
Recalling when he first met Sun Shiyu, their disparity in strength and status was vast, and they had come a long way, warming Tao Yu’s heart.
“After all, you haven’t spent much time specializing in these things. Report regularly for safety, and if you plan to go to an Independent World, let me know beforehand in case it’s a World without communication.”
Sun Shiqing also flipped through a comic book and mumbled reminders with a lollipop in her mouth.
“How do you all know I want to go to an Independent World?”
“Coming back and running straight to the archive room to prepare, you always cram at the last minute; you must have found out.”
Tao Yu laughed heartily at these words.
His last trip to the Mysterious World made him realize some unpreparedness; since he had spare time now, he made it a point to study more, and there was much to learn from the experiences of the Suns’ strong figures in Independent Worlds.
Last time, most of the information came from the narratives of the little rich women, but this time, he could search freely according to his needs, and he felt significantly benefited.
Independent Worlds are usually those not completely dragged into the Abyss; the World Will is generally much stronger than that of World Fragments.
Therefore, there’s usually strong World suppression, affecting even Sacred Intent, and if the World is particularly Sensitive, Sacred Intent might even provoke an Immunity response.
Moreover, many things in Independent Worlds might be unique to the World itself.
