Chu Sheng stood still, feeling the power within him surge like a rushing river. The breakthrough to the Fourth Rank Ship Realm had given him a qualitative leap in strength, and the four abilities fused perfectly, allowing him to manipulate them as easily as moving his own fingers. Above him, the gaping tear in the sky, ripped apart by the Evil God, began to heal slowly under the pressure of his formidable power, behaving like an obedient child. The nauseating aura of the Evil God gradually dissipated, leaving behind a faint scent of blood in the air—a mournful song belonging to the defeated.
"Good job, Chu Sheng!" The Vice President approached him and slapped his shoulder heavily, his tone filled with admiration. "To break through under these circumstances—your talent is truly terrifying!"
Before Chu Sheng could respond, a cold mechanical voice suddenly emanated from the Merit Book on his chest: [Warning: Detection of Warrior Association President's presence approaching. Caution is advised.]
A sense of unease surged within Chu Sheng.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. A figure darted toward them like a ghost, moving so quickly that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye. It was a tall middle-aged man clad in a black combat suit that accentuated his muscular build. His expression was as stern as iron, and his deep-set eyes seemed capable of piercing through one's soul, sending chills down one's spine.
"President!" The Vice President quickly saluted, his tone respectful.
The President nodded slightly but fixed his gaze on Chu Sheng like a hawk locking onto its prey, a complex expression flickering in his eyes. "Chu Sheng, come with me to headquarters. There are some matters we need to discuss."
Alarm bells rang in Chu Sheng's mind. The President had always been indifferent toward him; today’s sudden invitation felt suspicious. Something unusual was afoot! However, he maintained his composure and nodded, "Alright."
"Lin Yue, you come along too." The President turned to Lin Yue beside him, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
As night fell deeply over the Warrior Association headquarters, they entered a dimly lit chamber where the atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating. Under the dim light, the President pulled out a yellowed document from a drawer, his expression grave as if he were reading a death sentence. "Chu Sheng, do you know the true relationship between Zheng Shen and the Evil God?"
Chu Sheng's heart skipped a beat as an ominous premonition washed over him. "What do you mean?"
The President pushed the document toward him, speaking in a low voice: "Take a look for yourself. This is evidence we've collected over many years; the truth lies within."
Chu Sheng took a deep breath, extending his hand to receive the document and flipping to the first page. As the lines of text came into view, his pupils gradually widened, and the color drained from his face. The document detailed the true relationship between Zheng Shen and the Evil God—what was referred to as Zheng Shen was merely the Evil God that had occupied this world first! They donned a facade of righteousness, aiding humanity in establishing order and combating other Evil Gods, but in reality, they were exploiting human fortune to strengthen themselves, nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing!
“How… how is this possible?!” Chu Sheng exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide and his clenched fists turning white as if he were about to crush the document in his hands. He had always regarded Zheng Shen as humanity's protector, never imagining that it was all a meticulously woven lie!
“That’s not all,” the Vice President added gravely from the side. “Behind Heishan sect, there are also shadows of Zheng Shen. They use followers of the Evil God to test humanity's limits, all to find the most suitable fortune to absorb—it's utterly despicable!”
Chu Sheng recalled the desperate battle against Heishan sect and felt a surge of anger ignite within him. It turned out he had been treated as a pawn by Zheng Shen, played like a fool in their hands!
“There are also a number of people within our Warrior Association who have begun to question Zheng Shen,” the President said solemnly. “We have been investigating in secret, gathering evidence to expose their true nature. Chu Sheng, you are not fighting alone; we stand with you!”
Suddenly breaking his silence, Lin Yue spoke up: “So, Chu Sheng’s Merit Book…”
The President nodded: “That’s right. Your Merit Book is likely related to the origin of this world. Zheng Shen has been watching you from the shadows; you must be extremely careful—they won’t let you go easily.”
Chu Sheng instinctively tightened his grip on the Merit Book at his chest. No wonder every time he used it, he felt an invisible pair of eyes watching him—it was Zheng Shen monitoring him!
“Here, take this.” The President pulled out an Ability Orb that emitted a strange glow and handed it to Chu Sheng. “This is the result of years of our research; it can help you better control the power within you. You have extraordinary talent and may become key in combating the gods in the future. I hope you will make good use of it.”
As Chu Sheng accepted the Ability Orb, he felt its immense power surging through him like a warm current. He looked up, his gaze intense as he met the President’s eyes: “Why are you telling me all this? Aren’t you afraid I’ll leak it?”
The President’s expression grew profound, his tone laden with meaning: “Because you, like us, are searching for the truth. And…” He paused, his voice heavy, “Your parents sacrificed themselves to fight against Zheng Shen; they were true heroes!”
Those words struck Chu Sheng like a thunderclap, reverberating in his ears and sending a shock through him. He stared intently at the President, his voice trembling: “You know about my parents? How… how did they sacrifice themselves?”
"This topic, we'll discuss it another day." The President stood up and patted Chu Sheng's shoulder. "You are not strong enough yet and need more preparation. Starting tomorrow, I will personally guide your special training to make you stronger!"
At that moment, the Merit Book on Chu Sheng's chest suddenly vibrated violently, and a cold mechanical voice echoed again: [Warning: A powerful Divine Power Fluctuation has been detected, suspected Zheng Shen surveillance. Immediate relocation is advised!]
The President's expression changed drastically. "Not good, we've been discovered! Chu Sheng, hurry!"
The air in the secret chamber instantly became tense, as a terrifying pressure descended from above, threatening to crush the entire room. Chu Sheng felt as if an invisible hand was firmly pinning him down, rendering him immobile.
In a critical moment, the Merit Book suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light, dispelling the overwhelming pressure. Seizing the opportunity, Chu Sheng grabbed Lin Yue's hand and quickly followed the President and Vice President out of the secret chamber.
Once outside the headquarters, the President's words echoed repeatedly in Chu Sheng's mind. The truth about Zheng Shen, his parents' sacrifice, and the origins of the Merit Book—all seemed to point towards a larger conspiracy, one that could overturn the entire world!
He clenched the Ability Orb tightly in his hand, his gaze resolute. Since Zheng Shen wanted to play games, he would play along until the end!
The Merit Book gently vibrated: [New mission triggered: Begin special training to enhance strength. Reward: Unknown.]
