Chapter 705: Chapter 704 Inexplicable Responsibility (Part 5)
Mu Chen would not curse out loud but instead seriously asked, “Who exactly are you?”
“You little brat, it doesn’t matter who I am. I left too abruptly just now, there are a few more things I need to say,” the shadow pondered for a moment before continuing.
“What are those things?”
“Do you know how vast the universe is?”
“Yes, endless and boundless.”
“Right, you have some insight. However, you might not be aware that in this universe, there exist many terrifying creatures! Some creatures devour civilizations and everything else, and they are invincible,” the shadow seriously remarked, seemingly recalling something.
“I really didn’t know that,” Mu Chen seriously responded.
“You possess a realm, so you should know a lot! There are many powerful beings in your world, correct?”
“Do you know why these people exist here?”
“Why do they exist here? Are these people not from here?”
“Of course not. This land, because of something unknown here that is being guarded, those terrifying creatures have never stepped foot here,” the shadow seriously explained.
“None of them are from here?” Mu Chen’s pupils shifted, this news was shockingly overwhelming.
“Don’t be so flustered, let me explain. Only some people do not belong here; others still exist here, such as the Sun God Power you possess. These powers have been bestowed by this land to protect it.”
“This… I’m a bit confused…” Mu Chen’s expression changed, what the shadow said seemed somewhat different from the doctrines of the Divine Authority Sect and Divine Power Sect.
“Never mind, don’t be confused. I am just saying to guard this place, it doesn’t necessarily mean they must protect it. If someone gained this power and wanted to destroy the world, they could still destroy it. You just need to know that some people here came from the outside world, that’s enough.”
“Damn, what’s the use of me knowing this?”
“Have your brains f**ked up? Why these people are here, even an idiot could figure it out; it’s for something here. This place has something that even those terrifying creatures dare not approach, and these people naturally gained something from it.”
“You mean if that thing were taken away, this place would be devoured and wiped out instantly.”
“Finally, you understand. This is also why that old man made a prophecy about you and gave you an opportunity. Obviously, he hoped you would guard and protect this place, after all, the old man came from this land,” the shadow said with tears in his eyes.
“Why doesn’t he protect it himself?”
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
“What does that mean?”
“Do you think there’s only one place between heaven and earth? The outer realms are countless times larger than here; a realm you can’t even begin to imagine,” the shadow seriously said.
“Alright! I understand now, but why are you so sure I will protect this place?” Mu Chen’s gaze shifted, the influx of information today was overwhelming.
“Because you possess the Divine Dragon Body.” The shadow said and then blinked away into disappearance.
“Damn, you’re done just like that?”
“Last words, the Divine Dragon Body is very strong. Every person treads their path differently. Perhaps you could become the strongest in the world or turn into a skeleton. Everything depends on you.” After saying this, the shadow truly completely disappeared.
“Because I have the Divine Dragon Body? That sentence has too many implications! Envy, trust, etc., forget it, thinking more makes it even more confusing,” Mu Chen said, nearly in tears, feeling deceived. Initially thinking he had received a legacy, it turned out to be a despair-inducing responsibility.
“Forget it, with my current strength, it is quite terrifying. Although I don’t know if I’ve reached the level of an Emperor, it should be very strong, at least within the so-called Half Nihility Third Layer Heaven,” Mu Chen finished and blinked away, disappearing. It has been five days since he should have left. These five days, Mu Chen wanted to see how the women were doing.
Regarding the events of these few days, Mu Chen wouldn’t tell the Emperor or anyone else. It’s not that Mu Chen didn’t trust the Emperor, but because he trusted him too much, he became suspicious. Some things are not to be told by others but to watch and wait for the future developments, then become the strongest. That was Mu Chen’s current thought.
Everyone has secrets, and very few people would truly tell others all their secrets. Just like Mu Chen, he could not tell the women too much. If he told the women, and someone captured one of them and used some methods to find out Mu Chen is the Divine Dragon Body, that would be terrible.
Since it was morning, Mu Chen blinked back to the villa. Just as he returned, everyone was just having their meal.
“Daddy.” Yaya saw Mu Chen and excitedly ran towards him, as it had been many days since they had seen Mu Chen.
“Mu Chen…” The women saw Mu Chen and all stood up, very worried.
“What’s the matter, my dear wives,” Mu Chen looked at the women and asked.
“Ouch, my little princess has gotten fatter,” Mu Chen said as he picked up Yaya.
“Daddy bad,” Yaya said, immediately sprang from Mu Chen’s arms and trotted back to have her breakfast.
The women laughed heartily for a moment.
“Has anything major happened these few days?” Mu Chen asked.
“No,” Liu Yuxi answered.
“That’s good, then I can rest assured,” Mu Chen smiled and said.
“You rascal, where did you go exactly? You disappeared for several days,” Su Fei anxiously asked.
“I went to the Sun and received some legacies. It took some time to return,” Mu Chen explained.
“Legacies, do the Sun also have legacies?”
“I was surprised too, but they indeed exist.”
“Alright!” The women felt helpless but seeing Mu Chen was alright, they were relieved.
“Are you leaving again soon?” Liu Yuxi asked again.
“No, the things I gained are scary enough. I plan to train while accompanying you,” Mu Chen said with a sly smile.
“Let’s have breakfast!” The women knew what Mu Chen was thinking, and quickly returned to their places.
“Wife, how about going to the office later? I want to talk about life with you.”
“I’m busy, a lot of things are going on at the company,” Liu Yuxi refused.
“How about you, Catherine?”
“We haven’t started dating, I can’t give you my body,” Shui Linglong said with a smile.
“Shennong’s daughter, are you the obedient one?”
“I’m also on my period.”
“I’ll go brush my teeth and wash my face,” Mu Chen said, nearly in tears, and immediately went upstairs.
“This rascal, since he misses us so much, let’s gather everyone tonight and keep him in bed,” Liu Yuxi told the women.
