Chapter 2078 - 2046: Living Legend!
Chapter 2078 - 2046: Living Legend!
Li Chen’s return indeed caused a sensation. Of course, this news was only known to the people at the Nether Army Base, and outsiders obviously would not be aware of it.
But even so, everyone was shocked and couldn’t quite come back to their senses.
As a world of martial cultivation, Earth has produced many great figures since ancient times, and there have been many powerful beings rumored to have ascended in broad daylight. However, today, most have already become legends.
And Li Chen is the most famous legend of recent times.
When Li Chen ascended back then, many powerful individuals attended the event, completely confirming that Li Chen indeed ascended.
But now, Li Chen has returned!
It’s important to know that since the historical records of the Martial Artist World, he is the first being to return after ascending.
In the past, those who ascended either lacked strength or were hindered by various matters in the Heaven Realm, so no one ever returned.
Just like Li Chen, he too wouldn’t know how many more years it would take to return if not for this unexpected event. But in any case, he has come back.
He became the only person in the history of Earth’s Martial Artists who was able to return after ascending.
After learning about the situation at the Nether Army Base, Li Chen fell silent for a while.
Although this time they gathered a lot of people to besiege Xivilo, and indeed achieved some results, if it weren’t for these people stalling, the Nether Army Base might have been completely annihilated before he arrived.
But still, many people sacrificed themselves.
Li Chen, as an individual, simply scoffed at those so-called ’divine’ theories.
He clearly understood that those so-called gods were essentially no different from ordinary people, except their power was simply stronger.
The so-called omniscience and omnipotence were nothing but jokes.
They were indeed much better at killing than ordinary people, but bringing the dead back to life was something they couldn’t do.
Even he couldn’t do it.
Li Chen was equally powerless regarding the deceased.
To repay these powerful individuals who came to the rescue, Li Chen temporarily kept them at the Nether Army Base to conduct a lecture on the laws.
Now, Li Chen’s cultivation has already reached a level unimaginable to these people, and despite being self-taught, his vision far surpassed these with Earth Level cultivation. After one lecture, almost everyone gained immensely.
What delighted these martial artists even more was the laws Li Chen talked about. It made them realize that after reaching the Heavenly Level, the path they should take was no longer just cultivation or merely tricks and techniques.
After reaching the Heavenly Level, what mattered was divine skills and laws!
The attribute awakened at the Earth Level, which was originally seen as just an auxiliary power, becomes truly important after reaching the Heavenly Level.
After understanding this layer, many were grateful in their hearts, and some even couldn’t wait to return home, directly borrowing a place from the Nether King Group to enter closed-door cultivation.
For martial artists, strength is still the most important thing.
Especially after this battle and Li Chen’s lecture, their hearts were immediately inspired with infinite inspiration to undergo a deep closed-door cultivation.
After the outsiders left, Li Chen gathered the members of the Nether King Group for a small meeting.
"I’m back."
Looking at everyone around him, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel somewhat emotional.
He is back, no matter what he has been through or for what reasons, ultimately, he returned.
One sentence, ’I’m back,’ caused everyone’s eyes to involuntarily water.
When he left years ago, many even thought it was a final goodbye, believing they would never see Li Chen, their true spiritual leader, ever again in this lifetime.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Li Chen really came back.
"Due to some special reasons, I’ve become like this now." Li Chen glanced at his body and couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "Although I can tell you that after reaching the Heavenly Level, the outward appearance’s age can be changed at will, becoming like this was truly not my intention."
Hearing what Li Chen said, Alice sitting beside him couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Yue Ren, unable to hold it in, eventually burst into hearty laughter: "I say, boss, seeing you like this, I thought you came back to be an old cow eating young grass, trying to fool little girls!"
Hearing what Alice said, the others couldn’t help but show smiles in their eyes.
At this moment, Ye Tu also chimed in, "Actually, after confirming that you are indeed the boss, I was even considering whether I should ground my daughter to prevent you from tricking her away."
"Snap!"
Li Chen reached out and gave Ye Tu a slap on the back of his head, laughing and scolding, "You little brat, I picked you up back in the day! Show some respect!"
Hearing what Li Chen said, Ye Tu’s face immediately looked bitter.
But Li Chen was indeed not wrong. He was just a little beggar back then, and he was close to starving if Li Chen hadn’t picked him up, he would have died in the streets and would not have achieved what he has today.
Hearing Li Chen’s joke, everyone finally couldn’t hold back and showed smiles.
To be honest, it had really been a long time since they last saw Li Chen.
In this era, Li Chen had long since become a legend, even those who had contact with him, over the years, unintentionally developed an indescribable estrangement and admiration towards him.
It wasn’t that their feelings grew distant, but the gap between both sides was simply too vast now.
Although even they themselves didn’t know how vast the gap between them and Li Chen was now.
"Seeing all of you here makes me very happy." Li Chen showed a smile: "This time coming back was unexpected. Of course, I’ve long wanted to return, just didn’t realize it got delayed until now."
"So, this time coming back, I plan to resolve some matters all at once." Li Chen tapped the table in front of him and softly said, "If things can be resolved perfectly, I can take everyone up."
"What?!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone couldn’t help but be astonished.
Take them up?
Without a doubt, Li Chen meant to take them to the world above.
But, how is that possible?
Ascension concerns one’s fixed cultivation. Nobody has ever heard of anyone forcefully taking people up with them.
"Is this... feasible?" Even Zi Zhao couldn’t help but ask.
"For others, maybe not. But I have more than a ninety percent chance. However, this matter needs to be slightly postponed," Li Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone showed smiles again.
Indeed, some things may be impossible for others, but this man can do it.
For no other reason than he is Li Chen. He is the true living legend of this world, the King of the Netherworld!
