There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 168 Extra - The Riddler Zhu Huai

Above the void, Zhu Huai transformed into a burly man dressed in animal clothing, looking somewhat simple-minded.

Zhu Huai looked at Xia Haochen with a smile: "Let me introduce myself. I am Zhu Huai from the Divine Clan."

Before Hao Chen could speak, Zhu Huai continued, "Your name is Hao Chen, right? I've heard His Excellency mention you. Would you be interested in having a chat with me?"

When Hao Chen heard Zhu Huai's invitation, he was taken aback at first, then frowned and stepped into the void to face Zhu Huai.

This scene stunned Xia Lianxing and Lieutenant Lin, especially Lieutenant Lin, whose eyes widened instantly as he watched a living person fly into the air: "He, he, he..."

Xia Lianxing tugged at Lieutenant Lin's arm: "Instructor, don't think about it anymore, Haochen is not human."

"If it's not human, could it be that thing?"

"..." Xia Lianxing was speechless, inwardly pleading, "Science, instructor! We must believe in science!"

Xia Lianxing explained, "Instructor, it's not what you think. Hao Chen is a Pokémon in disguise."

Seeing Lieutenant Lin's confused expression, Xia Lianxing could only say, "Instructor, let's go quickly. You can ask Haochen when he comes back."

With that, Xia Lianxing carried the reluctant little fire dragon and left first, heading towards a safe area.

Hao Chen had no idea that his flight had been filmed, but even if he did, he wouldn't have time to care.

At this moment, Hao Chen really couldn't understand it. He and Zhu Huai were not exactly enemies, but they really couldn't talk to each other, after all, Zhu Huai was Chen Ying's subordinate.

But as soon as they met, Zhu Huai took the initiative to invite him up for a chat, which made Hao Chen wary.

Hao Chen wondered if this was a trap, with other people lying in ambush nearby!

Thinking this, Hao Chen continuously searched all directions with his divine sense, while his divine power surged within him, ready to respond to any attack at any time, but he found nothing.

Seeing Hao Chen's nervous expression, Zhu Huai laughed out loud: "Don't worry, it's just me. Qiong Tian and the others have other missions and didn't come to this world."

Hao Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, then looked Zhu Huai up and down, who seemed rather simple-minded. He felt that the other party had no reason to lie about such a matter, but he still did not let his guard down.

"I must say, you're really bold. Aren't you afraid of being suppressed by me?"

After comparing his own aura with Zhu Huai's, Hao Chen confirmed that Zhu Huai's strength was not as great as his own, and that he should be able to suppress him in a one-on-one fight.

To Hao Chen's surprise, even though he deliberately released a wisp of his aura, Zhu Huai remained unfazed, as if he had some trump card up his sleeve.

"You won't, unless you want to stay in this world forever."

Zhu Huai's behavior made Hao Chen somewhat hesitant to act rashly, so he had to calm down and plan to have a good talk with Zhu Huai, hoping to get a lot of information out of him.

Seeing that Hao Chen had fallen silent, Zhu Huai wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he said, "Why don't you come over to my place and have some tea or something?"

Hao Chen shook his head: "No need. Just tell me directly what your purpose is. I don't believe you're here for tourism."

Hao Chen didn't expect Zhu Huai to tell him anything, but to his surprise, Zhu Huai thought about it and actually nodded in agreement.

"It's okay to tell you, since you'll find out eventually when you go to the Dark Universe."

After a pause, Zhu Huai continued, "His Majesty has prepared a plan called Immortal."

"Immortal?!" Hao Chen knew that the other party was not referring to any deity, but rather to the realm of immortality. In other words, Chen Ying was ready to step into the realm of immortality.

Zhu Huai nodded: "Yes, the first step of the 'Immortal' plan is to promote the integration of all realms, obtain a more powerful world origin, and create a world where one can become an immortal."

"how is this possible?"

Hao Chen exclaimed in surprise. He found it hard to believe. Not to mention creating a world that was enough to make one an immortal, even promoting the fusion of worlds was something that beings in the human realm could not do.

Zhu Huai understood Hao Chen's thoughts and wasn't surprised.

After all, when Chen Ying proposed promoting the fusion of all realms to obtain a more powerful world origin, he had his doubts, but he later kept quiet.

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc." Zhu Huai's tone was somewhat heavy: "The Venerable One used the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc to bring different worlds closer and merge them, and finally harvest the world's origin. This world was an experiment."

"Why are you telling me all this? Aren't you afraid I'll stop you?" Hao Chen stared intently at Zhu Huai, trying to figure out what was going on.

However, Zhu Huai said, "Stop Your Majesty. I hope you can stop Your Majesty's plan."

Before Hao Chen could ask why, Zhu Huai continued, "I can't explain it either, but I feel that Your Excellency is no longer Your Excellency."

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'not yourself'?"

Zhu Huai shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't say too much. He'll be waking up soon. Also, I should remind you that the origin of this world has been sent to the Venerable One."

After Zhu Huai finished speaking, his figure became somewhat illusory, and then he disappeared directly in front of Hao Chen.

Even though Hao Chen had been watching Zhu Huai the whole time, he still didn't know how the other party disappeared.

"Damn it, I hate riddlers the most, all riddlers should die."

After the conversation, not only did they not obtain any useful information, but they also raised more questions, which made Hao Chen somewhat unhappy.

Before Hao Chen could do anything, he felt the whole world shake, as if something had disappeared.

The next moment, Hao Chen's eyes widened in surprise. In his mind's eye, a series of powerful auras were awakening, and the energy in the world became turbulent and restless.

"This feeling... are all those legendary Pokémon awakening? Could it be that the loss of the world's origin caused them to awaken?"

Hao Chen felt a chill run down his spine at the thought, even though it didn't affect him.

However, if these mythical beasts were to engage in a great war, it could potentially plunge the world into destruction.

"I'm destined to be a workaholic!"

After making a self-deprecating remark, Hao Chen decided to go find Xia Lianxing first, at least to ensure her safety, since she was the first friend he had made in this world.

At the same time, Zhu Huai appeared beside an altar, looking at the dozens of black figures beside him.

These black figures resemble legendary Pokémon such as Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Lugia, but their aura is colder than those legendary Pokémon.

These legendary beasts were created by Zhu Huai in this world using the dark origin given to him by Chen Ying, and were copied from legendary beasts such as Groudon. This can be considered another of his gains.

"Are you all ready? It's time for us to leave. As for this world, let it perish in its collapse!"

Without hesitation, Zhu Huai stepped onto the altar, transformed into a streak of light, and vanished through the void.

The other divine beasts followed closely behind, stepping onto the altar and disappearing as streaks of light.

After all the divine beasts had left, the altar cracked open and split in two.

Meanwhile, Hao Chen received the latest news from Lieutenant Lin after finding Xia Lianxing and the others:

A sudden earthquake struck Japan, and its volcanoes seemed poised to erupt. Meanwhile, South Korea experienced a tsunami, heading towards Japan. And the United States was hit by a category 18 typhoon…

In short, apart from the Dragon Kingdom, various super disasters have occurred all over the world, and satellites deployed in outer space have also seen meteorite clusters heading towards the Blue Planet.

Upon hearing this news, Hao Chen stopped in Bengbu. He even considered running away with the bucket, which was really troublesome.

Meanwhile, in the modern world, it was nighttime, and Haochen and Tianlu were lying obediently on the Qilin's bed, listening to the Qilin tell bedtime stories.

The next moment, Hao Chen suddenly got up from the bed of the four-legged creature, stretched, and thought, "At this time, the main body should be about to die. It seems that it is time for me to make a move."

Thinking of this, Hao Chen jumped off the bed and said to the four-legged creature, "I have to go out for a bit. I should be back before noon. You don't need to wait for me for breakfast."

"Hey, Haochen, where are you going so late at night instead of sleeping?!"

The four-legged creature shouted at Hao Chen, but Hao Chen had already gone downstairs.

The four-legged creature then looked at Tianlu, who was getting restless, and grabbed Tianlu's tail: "Pipi, you can't run around like this at night. Go to sleep."

After finishing speaking, the four-legged creature placed Tianlu on him, covered him with a blanket, and then glanced subtly at the bluebird that was monitoring Tianlu.
