Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

It was deathly silent.

It wasn’t until Qin Xiang in reality was drenched in cold sweat that Vengeance’s voice slowly echoed: "Qin Xiang, I think highly of you, but sometimes you overstep your bounds."

"Just because I personally promoted you, you thought you were my confidant and could dare to speak out in front of me?"

"Gulp," Qin Xiang instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva and quickly lowered his head, saying, "I don’t dare, sir."

He had the intuition that Vengeance’s gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing him so much that he didn’t dare to raise his head.

However, just as Qin Xiang was regretting his outspokenness, Vengeance’s faint voice sounded again: "Although I am the master’s closest disciple, the gap between us is as vast as an unbridgeable chasm, far greater than the gap between you and me."

"You cannot understand my thoughts; how could I possibly know my teacher’s mind?"

"However, I can share some of my guesses with you."

"I believe the teacher will not take action against Chen Ce."

"Oh?" Qin Xiang raised his head in surprise.

Vengeance turned his back, speaking to himself: "Although the master kills without remorse, he is not like the ’Conquering King,’ who does everything for himself. Otherwise, he would not have taken on that idle position, commanding the army and guarding the front lines on Mars for so long."

"Chen Ce’s talent is very strong. If he grows, he might add another Celestial King to Huaxia, and the master wouldn’t bear to destroy such a genius."

Vengeance’s words made Qin Xiang’s eyes widen.

"Another Celestial King? Is Chen Ce’s talent terrifying to that extent?"

Clearing a trial solo was indeed unprecedented, but under the long-standing resource monopoly of the Celestial Kings, the gap between them and the other Awakened is too great; Qin Xiang didn’t think it was something that could be broken through talent alone!

A genius may be a thousand times superior to an ordinary person, but the resources a Celestial King can acquire are a million, even ten million times more!

Moreover, a Celestial King is already a genius among geniuses!

Vengeance said, "Have you read the report of his trial this time?"

"I’ve looked at the general process."

"To clear this trial, the easiest way is to quietly gather intelligence and, once the disputes among the Eight Divisions are understood, wait for the war between the Celestials and Asura to break out. As long as you protect a small group of people, you can reap the benefits and pass the trial."

"The downside is, it will inevitably lead to countless civilian casualties, resulting in a low evaluation upon clearing."

"A better method is to make an agreement with either Asura or the Celestials, helping one side defeat the other, but there’s a chance of betrayal afterwards, and the difficulty of forming such cooperation is not small."

"However, Chen Ce achieved a perfect clearance by defeating both Asura and the Celestials separately!"

Vengeance’s expression rarely became serious: "The difficulty of a perfect clearance is several times higher than an ordinary clearance!"

"But from the descriptions of those survivors, Chu Xiu’s strength is only equivalent to an Advanced King Tier Awakened."

"With such difficulty, how could it be called a solo Ancient Trial?"

"So those survivors, most likely under that kid’s orders, concealed something from us and greatly exaggerated the strength of the enemy!"

"Chen Ce must be hiding other trump cards! And his talent is far stronger than he’s shown!"

As the words fell, Qin Xiang stood there completely stunned.

Does Chen Ce still have trump cards?

Already strong to that degree, yet still having a trump card? Still able to be stronger?

He suddenly realized that he might be witnessing the rise of an unprecedented genius, sufficient to change the world’s balance of power!

"I must protect this seedling for Huaxia at all costs!"

Qin Xiang instantly made up his mind internally.

But the problem is, does Chen Ce need his protection now? What can he do?

After thinking it over, Qin Xiang felt that what he could do was to help Chen Ce safeguard his civilization.

But the [Calamity] has already escaped, and the Corpse Demon World is fully reviving; the King Tier’s combat power is simply not enough!

"Sir, I intend to take a few days off." Qin Xiang slowly raised his head.

Vengeance looked at him: "For what purpose."

"Heroic Spirit Trial."

Qin Xiang slowly and firmly uttered four words.
