Chapter 1692: Chapter 1692
While Li Minglu specially set aside time to help Du You’s family solve their troubles, Du You had already found Elsa and then opened the space portal together, heading towards the gods’ battleground.
Meanwhile, outside, Li Minglu had already launched his plan comprehensively, with others assisting him.
Originally, it was best for Du You’s family members to handle such affairs, but who are the people at home? The parents are immersed in research all day and completely ignore external affairs. If they came forward to handle such things, they would be easily led around.
And as for Du Yun, as a junior, dealing with these people is inherently difficult. Besides, Du Yun is currently a cultivation fanatic, and she’s always unavailable, thinking that doing other things is a waste of time.
Fortunately, using unrelated but high-status individuals to resolve such matters is equally effective.
Unrelated individuals can often clarify things and facilitate many actions.
As the space portal closed, several figures appeared in a new world.
"This world feels so vast, the sensation is really vivid." Elsa, hugging Du You’s arm, felt everything around. Having recently broken through the seventh tier, many of their abilities needed to be experienced personally.
Before coming here, Elsa stuck to Du You like a conjoined twin, and Du You couldn’t shake her off no matter what. In the end, he just let it be. Honestly, the feeling was quite pleasant, though thinking about Elsa sticking to him left Du You somewhat at a loss, since she was so young when he first met her.
Over the years, Du You has treated Elsa like a sister, making it quite difficult for him to change his approach.
Du You nodded: "That’s right, this world is very vast; it’s said to have been a ninth-tier world before. I don’t know if that’s true, but the strength of its laws is indeed much stronger than the eighth-tier worlds I’ve interacted with."
Du You hadn’t experienced other ninth-tier worlds, so he couldn’t make a judgment. Moreover, this world was severely damaged and eventually abandoned, making any specific changes hard to predict.
"So next, we’ll just adventure in the seventh-tier region. You can go about your own business."
Du You shook his head: "I’ll first help you get familiar, this place is very dangerous. Although the three of you together would cause most people to avoid you, inevitably some powerful ones will come looking for trouble."
The life-saving items aren’t very useful at the seventh tier, and the world’s unique composition introduces many peculiar laws with numerous strong individuals present, thus making Du You uneasy.
"What’s the big deal? We are three people, after all. Initially, you also had three; as long as we don’t go to those special places, there’s no problem with survival. Our skills are fewer, making it easier to improve them compared to yours."
Indeed, Du You already successfully provided a path, just following the same route suffices.
Everyone knows what to watch for next, so Du You doesn’t have to worry about them leaving any hidden dangers for him. Under the persuasion of two people, Du You ultimately had to let them act independently.
Why two people? Because only Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue were persuading, Elsa wasn’t inclined to do so. On the contrary, Elsa clung to Du You more tightly, unwilling to part. It took the other two pulling her away reluctantly.
"Big Brother, you must come back quickly." Elsa shouted, full of reluctance.
What does ’come back’ mean? Isn’t it just improving their strength? Without reaching the requirement, how could they leave?
Du You waved far off, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Let’s also go, to the eighth-tier area."
"Master, have you really not considered accepting Elsa? It’s clear Elsa won’t accept others besides you." Lin Yucha spoke up then, with Lin Yushi nodding vigorously.
Du You rolled his eyes: "I know all that, but having you two satisfies me greatly. Over Elsa’s side, I’ve attempted to change my attitude, but still, something feels off."
There’s no way around it, Du You is indecisive in this aspect. If Du You weren’t so unyieldingly difficult to change, he wouldn’t persist with the toughest cultivation methods until now. Without such a nature, Du You perhaps wouldn’t have achieved his current accomplishments. But in dealing with family matters, it feels quite awkward.
"Forget it, let’s go collect materials for enhancement; we can’t remain stuck indefinitely." Official source ıs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
Although the eighth tier made Du You feel secure, it couldn’t guarantee complete safety. After all, in this world, the ninth tier stands at the pinnacle among all professionals and even within All Heavens and the Myriad Realms.
Earth’s confidence to compete with other worlds doesn’t stem from a strong base but because Earth harbors many ninth-tier individuals. From the mouths of eighth-tier professionals, Du You discovered Earth supposedly has eight ninth-tier individuals.
There’s another being with immeasurably deep strength who appears only when Earth faces danger but vanishes without a trace for many years, even ninth-tier experts can’t find it.
But precisely because Earth has these eight ninth-tier individuals, it ensures Earth’s security.
A ninth-tier expert can threaten even the top-notch worlds. Although top worlds theoretically can reach the tenth tier, the peculiar circumstances of the world will prevent freely wielding such power.
Du You still doesn’t fully comprehend the reason, but he knows some details.
To truly become someone who fears none, continued enhancement is necessary. If he were a ninth-tier expert, even those guys from the European Alliance wouldn’t openly use such means to trouble him.
Indeed, they’ve always had a poor impression of him and constantly look for trouble.
Although they haven’t fought directly, business and other issues raise plenty of hassles. While Du You hasn’t paid much attention, he is aware his company is seriously harassed, sometimes even troubling him directly.
Regardless, improving strength is always the right choice. Du You led the two sisters towards the central area of this world. Here, many eighth-tier powers from different worlds are stationed.
Throughout, Du You made no moves, just continually flying, constantly scouting the surrounding conditions. There are too many eighth-tier individuals here, and if they united, he couldn’t cope with that many.
