Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: Li Cheng’s ’Preparation’ (Long Chapter Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Standing under the hazy sunset, Hao Yi looked at the message displayed on the phone in front of him. The message was very short, only a few words.

[I’m preparing to ascend]

Above the text was the sender, ’Li Cheng’.

This sender had many ’titles’ above his head: Director of the Research Institute, the most powerful Transcendent in the Main World, and the person closest to an Angel in the Main World.

According to the time in the Main World, it was only a few days ago that He Ao handed over the secret potion formula for Li Cheng’s subsequent Talent Sequences to him.

This formula came from the residual thoughts of an angel from a relic in the Main World. In addition to the secret potion formula for Li Cheng’s subsequent Talent Sequences, it also provided He Ao with clues about the sealed item 005 related to the Super Memory subsequent Talent Sequences, sealed below the Relic Tower.

Strictly speaking, when not counting various Angel Tier props and Extraordinary Items, Li Cheng is much closer to being an Angel than He Ao’s true self.

Because anyone with discerning eyes can really feel that the Angel Tier weapon in Li Cheng’s hands, Andaville’s Spear, is very likely strongly related to his Angel Tier Talent Sequences.

However, He Ao hasn’t completely figured out how to deal with sealed item 005 yet.

But although Li Cheng is further ahead, He Ao can actually feel Li Cheng’s current state, at least during their last meeting, he could clearly feel that Li Cheng was still a little short of completely mastering his own Talent Sequences.

In just a few days, has he already taken the final step and mastered his Talent Sequences completely?

Has he also activated a cheat?

Calculating the time, since the Main World gained Extraordinary Power, only eighteen years have passed.

Even though Li Cheng was among the first Transcendents, going from a mere mortal to an immortal Angel in eighteen years, that Talent is indeed somewhat terrifying.

The veteran agent in the dungeon world, with the help of the Divine Being, took about seventy years to reach the threshold of an Angel, and in the end, he still made wedding clothes for the Divine Being.

What kind of child of destiny is Li Cheng?

He Ao put down the phone, suppressing the thoughts in his mind.

Astonishment aside, if Li Cheng can successfully ascend to an Angel, it would be beneficial to him as well.

After spending time together, he can basically confirm that Li Cheng is a reliable ally.

This Director of the Research Institute, although intelligent and suspicious, also carries a bit of classical heroism’s romance, values loyalty over wealth, and is true to his word. When a friend encounters a problem, as long as it doesn’t break his bottom line, he will stand up without hesitation.

He Ao has no doubt that if he encountered danger, Li Cheng would risk his life to save him.

If Li Cheng can successfully ascend to an Angel, that would also equate to gaining a powerful support for He Ao, giving him a better chance when facing the unpredictable 005.

His path to becoming an Angel would also be smoother, and he could gain some promotion experience from Li Cheng’s ascension.

Moreover, once Li Cheng becomes an Angel, overseeing the Main World, some incomplete Angel Tier small intrigues can’t stir up much trouble, allowing He Ao to breathe easier.

Every time after completing a dungeon world, returning to reality only to encounter all kinds of agents with various conspiracies popping up, it’s genuinely thrilling.

However, He Ao doesn’t actually have much confidence in Li Cheng’s ’ascension’ at the moment.

The powers involved with Angels are still too complex.

From B-level to A-level, although it seems like just leveling up one rank, it’s completely different from going from C-level to B-level.

That’s a qualitative transformation of life, the process of transforming from a human to a mythical creature.

The process of becoming an immortal Longevity Species from a short-lived species.

Involving many types of knowledge He Ao had never touched on before.

Strictly speaking, He Ao actually had encountered an Angel’s ascension before.

That was in the just-past Suote dungeon, with the ascension of that ’veteran agent’.

Although He Ao appeared as an obstacle to the veteran agent’s ascension, he could still clearly feel everything the veteran agent did to become an Angel.

Even if it meant pledging allegiance to a Divine Being, even if it meant being betrayed by everyone, even if it meant stirring up wars and disasters, he had to walk that path.

And as ’repayment’, he became the incarnation of the Divine Being.

The path to becoming an Angel is probably much harder than imagined.

Buzz——

The rushing sound of the train echoed in the night, as He Ao looked up, glancing toward the Velora emerging from the void.

At this moment, Velora still carried some ice shards from the South Pole.

Shaking his head, suppressing the complicated thoughts in his mind, He Ao, or rather ’Hao Yi’, stepped through the open train door and entered the Velora.

He Ao’s true self was already waiting inside the carriage.

The connection of the Trapped Destiny Plate was still unstable, so He Ao thought that since his true self was free, he might as well return with the Velora.

Then, at the first moment when the phone regained network in the true self, he received Li Cheng’s message.

At that moment, He Ao actually knew, Li Cheng had already made up his mind.

He was not just sending a message to ’Hao Yi’ alone, wanting to communicate with the mysterious ’Hao Yi’, but was gathering all the B-levels he trusted to tell them his decision.

It’s likely that not only he and ’Hao Yi’ received the message, but also the B-levels within the same Research Institute, Wu Ganglie and Liu Zhengyun, all received the message.

Buzz——

The trembling body of the old train shattered the scattered ice crystals, and then, accompanied by the roaring whistle, the train entered the depths of the void.

——

Central Earth · Nandu Suburban Courtyard

When He Ao and ’Hao Yi’ got off the Velora, Liu Zhengyun and Wu Ganglie had already arrived in the spacious courtyard.

At this moment, a glass-top tea table framed with ancient vines was placed in the center of the courtyard, with five vine chairs arranged around it.

Li Cheng occupied one of the chairs, sitting in the area close to the eaves on one side of the courtyard, and the slender wooden box stood behind him.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhengyun sat on the chair beside Li Cheng, with his head lowered, seemingly either thinking hard or in silent contemplation.

Wu Ganglie had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, treading silently on the lawn of the courtyard.

Upon hearing the sound of the train emerging from the void, Wu Ganglie, Liu Zhengyun, and Li Cheng simultaneously looked up, gazing at the Velora coming out of the void, and at He Ao and ’Hao Yi’ stepping off it.

"Seems like I came at the wrong time?"

He Ao looked at the somewhat strange atmosphere in the courtyard and smiled.

"You came at just the right time,"

Li Cheng smiled at He Ao. He didn’t seem surprised that He Ao and Hao Yi came together. He took out an exquisite teapot and five small tea cups from beside him, smiled at He Ao and ’Hao Yi,’ "Want some tea?"

"I’ll have some,"

He Ao nodded with a smile. He directly walked to the table and sat boldly next to Li Cheng, laughing, "Director’s tea must be very costly, can’t miss it."

"I’m fine with it."

’Hao Yi’ walked past He Ao and sat beside him, almost directly opposite Li Cheng, calmly responding.

Liu Zhengyun raised his head, took a glance at the ’two people’ in front, slightly opened his mouth, about to speak but held back.

Beside him, Wu Ganglie directly extinguished the cigarette in his hand, preparing to speak.

At this moment, Li Cheng, sitting at the main seat, had already poured five cups of tea. He quickly tried to seize the opportunity to speak before Liu Zhengyun and Wu Ganglie.

"You are stronger than the last time we met."

But before he could speak, a gentle voice had already sounded in the courtyard, from ’Hao Yi’ sitting opposite him.

Upon hearing ’Hao Yi’s’ words, both Li Cheng, Wu Ganglie, and Liu Zhengyun slightly paused. Obviously, the rhythm they had prepared was interrupted by this sentence.

Li Cheng also smiled bitterly upon hearing this and decided not to compete for the speaking advantage but replied, "I haven’t improved much, it seems I’ve hit a bottleneck."

"Not upgrading for a day or two doesn’t mean anything,"

’Hao Yi’ raised his head, and calmly said, "It’s common for people to be stuck at a level for years, even decades; don’t pay too much attention to these."

"But we don’t have time,"

Li Cheng sighed softly, looking at ’Hao Yi,’ then glanced around at He Ao and Liu Zhengyun and the others, slowly saying, "Since Mr. Hao Yi is here, I’ll be truthful. If I could take my time, I’d definitely want to do so."

"I know you, Liu, and Wu, are looking out for my best interests, thinking I’m not ready now, that trying to ascend recklessly could lead to failure and erase my existence, but I believe you all can sense,"

He turned to the silent Liu Zhengyun, calmly said, "But I believe you all can see, the weird events of the world are increasing, with new beings constantly entering our field of view."

"From the Navigator to the Relic of the Bygone Days and the City of Rong Guang, whether they came from outside or have been lurking around us, the enemies we face are becoming more challenging, more powerful."

He gently placed the teapot on the table, and continued softly, "The time-flow gap between the relics and our world is decreasing; various signs indicate that the relics are approaching our world."

"All of us have struggled in the relics for many years. I believe, without my saying, you all know what’s in there,"

He paused his tone, "Twisted, weird creatures, uncontrollable, mad angels, and various rituals aiming at the Divine Being."

He looked at the people around, after a moment of silence, said quietly,

"Our world cannot withstand these things. They will bring disaster, terror, and twisted beliefs."

"This will bury everything we know."

"Perhaps, after these things descend, our civilization can still be passed down, but I’m afraid over 95% of the world’s people will die in that devastating darkness."

"Therefore,"

He leaned back in his chair and said softly, "This world will have more power, which may save more lives."

"Have you considered,"

Liu Zhengyun, who had been silent, slowly said, "What if you fail?"

He glanced at Li Cheng, his gaze swept past a wooden box behind Li Cheng, and continued,

"Now, you can use Angel-tier weapons and momentarily exert Angel-tier power. With this absolute strength, whether it’s the World Tree or Moonlight, they will try their best to stay by our side, twisting the power of this world into a single thread."

"But if you fail to ascend to Angel?"

His gaze locked on Li Cheng, "Are you sure your Talent Sequences would remain? Or are you certain your Talent Sequences can be controlled by us and won’t turn into some kind of uncontrollable catastrophe?"

"Without the absolute sense of oppression, will the World Tree and Moonlight be as ’harmonious’ with us as they are now?"

"Even though we all know that binding together is the only way to increase the probability of survival in the coming destruction, several organizations have been fighting for so many years, and the accumulated disagreements and conflicts between us are countless,"

"With your force suppressing us, things are stable; without you, do you think the World Tree and Moonlight can continue to interact with us as they do now?"

His tone paused slightly, continuing, "You are now the only one among us who can exert Angel-tier combat strength. If you’re gone, we can’t bear such a loss."

"But in the previous events, I didn’t play a crucial role,"

Li Cheng responded softly, looking at ’Hao Yi,’ "Some of those matters were handled by Mr. Hao Yi, some by K."

While speaking, he glanced subtly at He Ao who had been silent, then continued, "Instead, if I become an angel, perhaps I can play a key role in some situations."

"Let me correct,"

’Hao Yi’ spoke quietly before Liu Zhengyun could reply, "Director Li has played a crucial role in many battles. Without Director Li’s sacrificial help, previous events wouldn’t have been resolved as smoothly."

"Oh, you’re all being so convoluted,"

Wu Ganglie lit a cigarette beside him, took a deep puff, exhaling with a surge of smoke, he looked at Li Cheng and said, "To put it bluntly, Li, we think it’s too dangerous for you to ascend now, there’s no assurance, we don’t want you to throw your life away,"

Then he paused, organized his words, continued, "You don’t actually need to ascend, either way, haven’t we got through the past events just the same? If you really died, think about what Liu said, is it worth the risk."

"But we can’t keep bothering others either,"

This time, Li Cheng didn’t hesitate to speak, looking at ’Hao Yi,’ "We can’t rely on others’ help to survive forever."

Then he paused and continued, "Regarding the things Liu mentioned, I’ve actually considered them."

He looked at He Ao, who was still sitting beside him without voicing opinions on the argument, gently holding He Ao’s elbow, softly saying,

"I have already signed an order, secretly appointing He Ao as a director and deputy director of the Research Institute."

"If I fail, let He Ao be the director of the Research Institute, all Extraordinary Items and wealth I leave behind will go to him."

"You’ve all seen his abilities, and he’s still so young. I believe he will do better than me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell into a brief silence.

He Ao looked up, bewildered, "Ah?"
