Chapter 2099 - 2067: The Giant’s Identity

Noticing Li Chen’s gaze, the giant shook his body slightly and also came to stand before Li Chen, his eyes appearing somewhat unusual.

There was no doubt that he had indeed seen the supreme treasure just now.

To say he wasn’t tempted by the supreme treasure would surely be a lie.

Although Li Chen exhibited only the cultivation level of the Eighth Rank Shen Heaven Realm, his actual combat power was enough to make even him feel a bit anxious.

Judging by the strength Li Chen displayed earlier, he was absolutely confident that he could defeat Li Chen, perhaps even capture him alive.

Because, just as Pavas had speculated, he was much stronger than Pavas!

But the problem was, even in a battle against someone like Pavas, who was in the True Realm, Li Chen still appeared to have plenty of strength left, which made him wary.

He felt the need to guard against Li Chen, even if it meant defending himself from a potential sudden attack by Li Chen.

Because until now, he hadn’t been able to discern Li Chen’s true depth!

Even though Pavas, a True Realm figure, was practically disabled, with actual combat strength on par with a normal Supreme God.

But still, that was a whole realm above Li Chen!

While he was wrestling with his thoughts, Li Chen’s gaze toward him became somewhat strange.

This odd look kept changing.

Similarly, the mysterious glow in Li Chen’s eyes continued to circulate.

Such a gaze made the giant feel uneasy.

In truth, he no longer planned to make a move against Li Chen, but for some reason, under Li Chen’s strange gaze, he did not choose to leave.

Because a peculiar feeling arose within him.

It was a very unique sensation.

As if a forgotten memory abruptly awoke.

After staring at him for a long time, Li Chen finally spoke in an extremely quirky and awkward tone: "Should I call you Little Cang or Old Cang?"

Upon hearing this, a sudden shock coursed through the giant’s heart.

When he looked at Li Chen again, his heart began beating wildly.

"You... you are..." Like he had seen a ghost, the giant shouted at Li Chen.

The strange expression on Li Chen’s face intensified. Seeing the giant’s reaction further convinced him, and an incredibly peculiar smile appeared on his face.

"Are you really?"

"No, no, no! I am not!" The giant screamed, but by then, his voice was no longer the deep, heavy tone; instead, it sounded like a young boy’s voice.

Seeming to realize something, the giant suddenly covered his mouth and looked up abruptly toward the heavens.

"Guangming, you bastard!"

At this moment, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh: "It seems, it really is you. The disciple of Lord Mingmeng has turned into this half-ghost, half-human state, and you don’t even dare to acknowledge your own identity?"

"You..." The giant’s face turned crimson with anger.

"Alright, stop pretending, little guy. I’ve already recognized you." Li Chen chuckled, and the light of the Eye of the Dao gradually receded.

Clearly visible, the corners of the giant’s mouth twitched a few times, and veins bulged prominently on his forehead, threatening to burst at any moment, but finally, he turned around and transformed into a bright-eyed, white-toothed youth.

"What makes you call me little guy? You’re younger than me by who knows how much!" The youth shouted at Li Chen.

"It’s not about why; it’s just that back in the day, you even called me Senior Brother Li." Li Chen laughed heartily.

"You..." The youth glared at Li Chen, gritting his teeth: "That was just one of Guangming’s divine skills, you’re not really from my era! It’s all fake!"

"Fake?" Li Chen suddenly said softly: "Was the battle of the Seven Realms destruction also fake?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Little Cang fell silent.

Reincarnation Divine Ability, both real and fake.

In a way, he was indeed in the Seven Realms era and left traces in that time, but he was undoubtedly born in this era. Although Li Chen was just a transient visitor to the Seven Realms era, everything he saw there truly happened.

"Regardless." Li Chen looked at Little Cang, suddenly smiling: "Seeing you, I’m very happy."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Little Cang was suddenly stunned, then raised his head to look at Li Chen.

"In any case, being alive is best. Seeing friends you know still alive, I’m genuinely happy." Li Chen smiled: "Earlier, I even met Zhi Xin."

"Senior Sister Zhi Xin is also still around?!" Little Cang’s eyes showed excitement.

"Yes." Li Chen nodded: "Although she seemed to have encountered some small troubles before, it’s resolved now."

"How are the others?" Li Chen looked at Little Cang, unable to resist asking: "At the end of that battle, all I saw was everyone dispersed, and many... perished. But the remaining ones... are they all okay?"

Little Cang looked at Li Chen: "There are some things that I probably shouldn’t be the one to say, but since you’ve joined us now, I can share some information."

"Among us, in the Seven Realms battle, less than half survived. Most have since gone into hiding, concealed in various corners of the starry universe, at most sending an alter ego with erased memories to be reborn and walk outside." Little Cang said.

"Cang Ku, is that your alter ego?" Li Chen asked.

"Correct." Little Cang nodded: "My real name is also Cang Ku."

"What about Brother Wuju?" Li Chen could not help but ask, for Zhuo Wuju was one of the first friends he met in the Eternal Ming Dream, and Zhuo Wuju’s open-hearted nature left a lasting impression despite their short acquaintance.

"Senior Brother Zhuo... already fell in the Seven Realms battle." Saying this, a shade of sadness appeared on Little Cang’s face.

Li Chen heard the words and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh softly.

War is the cruelest of things, and the battle of the Seven Realms was incredibly brutal, such that someone as peerless as Zhuo Wuju also perished in it.

"That’s all I can tell you, I don’t know any more." Little Cang said, shaking his head: "All these years, I’ve been hiding in this world, with only an alter ego walking outside. Because that alter ego was reborn with erased memory, I couldn’t fully control him even if I wanted to, so his experiences were quite limited."

"And what about now, do you plan to go to the Four Great Realms?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.

But to Li Chen’s surprise, upon hearing the Four Great Realms, Little Cang shook his head vehemently: "No, no, the Four Great Realms are off-limits! At least for me, I can’t go there."

"Why?"

"The Four Great Realms are being watched by something!" Little Cang said with a serious expression.

For some reason, upon hearing Little Cang’s words, Li Chen suddenly felt a chill, a sense of dread rushing from his spine to his brain.

At that moment, he seemed to vaguely grasp the reason why no transcendent Soul Realm figures had emerged from the Four Great Realms.
