Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 533 Emerging from Seclusion

The void outside the Tianyuan Great World is an endless expanse of darkness.

There was no starlight, no warmth, and no sound.

Eternal solitude reigns supreme here, and even time seems to stand still.

The middle-aged man was still standing there.

But if he were not visible to the naked eye, he would be like a non-existent person, a speck of dust floating in the void.

The middle-aged man swept his divine sense over Lu Bu, then continued to scan the entire continent.

When his divine sense swept across the Hehuan Valley, it was able to block it.

The middle-aged man frowned and probed in again with his divine sense.

This time he used some of his true strength, his divine sense like a knife, slashing at the layer of mist.

The mist churned a few times, but still blocked his divine sense.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

With his cultivation level, there are few things in the myriad realms that he cannot see through.

But he couldn't see through this fog.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then refrained from forcing his way through.

Anything that could block his divine sense was either an existence far beyond his cultivation level or a supreme treasure of extraordinary origin.

Neither of them are people he can easily provoke.

Having cultivated to his current level, his greatest skill is not fighting, but knowing when to fight and when to back down.

Suddenly, a nine-colored light flashed in his consciousness.

The middle-aged man's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his pupils contracted slightly.

The Tower of Chaos?!

But the Chaos Tower has been gone for at least hundreds of thousands of years, so how could it appear in this world on the verge of destruction?

He had only seen it in ancient books, in those ancient texts that were already tattered and the writing was blurred, he had read descriptions of the Tower of Chaos:

Nine colors flow, chaos reigns supreme, the ultimate treasure of all realms, the legacy of the divine.

The previous owner of the Chaos Tower was a peak-level God-Emperor who failed to transcend and vanished into the world.

Legend has it that the great being sealed all his knowledge, treasures, and aspirations into the Chaos Tower and cast it into the turbulent flow of time and space to find a destined person.

Before that deity vanished, he left behind a single sentence:

"He who obtains the Tower of Chaos obtains my lineage."

A glint of greed flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

The inheritance of a peak God-level being is not something he can take lightly, nor can anyone else.

The difference between the Emperor level and the God level is not just cultivation level, but another dimension.

The Chaos Tower, a supreme treasure of all realms.

If he could get it… The middle-aged man’s eyes flickered wildly, his fingers curled slightly, then relaxed, curled again, then relaxed again.

Finally, he shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want it, but that he couldn't afford it.

Because the Chaos Tower chooses its own destined users, forcibly confining them would trigger the contingency plan left behind by that deity.

At that time, even a powerful emperor would be in deep trouble.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, suppressing that hint of greed, burying it deep within his heart.

Finally, my divine sense landed outside the perfectly sealed rift, where a group of void creatures were attacking relentlessly.

The middle-aged man saw through it at a glance: in eight months, these creatures would break the seal and invade this world.

Although there was that True Monarch peak cultivator and the owner of the Chaos Tower.

But as the middle-aged man's divine sense swept over the few World Destroyers hidden deep in the void, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The destruction of this world is inevitable.

Once the will of this world completely collapses and the world is destroyed, the scattered fragments of the world will be invaluable treasures to him.

Moreover, if possible, the owner of the Chaos Tower...

A glint of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes as he scanned the direction of Hehuan Valley with his divine sense once more.

Then he vanished into the void; a mere thousand years was nothing more than a nap for an existence like him.

……

Hehuan Valley.

Yan Ruyu sat on the steps in front of the Hehuan Hall, holding a cup of tea in her hand.

The tea in the cup was calm, reflecting her face, her white hair like snow, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting.

Mei Jiuniang leaned against a nearby pillar, her chin resting on the back of her hand, her eyes fixed on the tightly closed door of the Hehuan Palace, and sighed.

"Master, when do you think he'll come out?"

Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I came out when it was time to come out."

Mei Jiu Niang sighed again, "Ugh, so annoying. I'm about to break through, just one step away, but this guy is really not helpful at all."

Yan Ruyu glanced up at Mei Jiu Niang, smiled helplessly, and said nothing.

But she was also a little annoyed; she was close to breaking through, just one step away.

Lingbo suddenly appeared in front of the main hall and stood quietly.

Chi Meng also appeared on time, standing next to Ling Bo, also looking at the door.

The two people stood there, one in black and one in white, neither speaking, like two guardian deities.

It's been a month, and they've been doing this every day.

Lingbo stood on the left, and Chimeng stood on the right, six feet apart. Neither of them looked at the other, nor did they pay any attention to each other.

They stay for an hour each day, then disappear again, at the same terrifying frequency.

Just then, there was a very soft "creak".

But everyone present heard it.

As the palace doors opened, Lin Chen walked out.

He wore a moon-white robe, his hair was neatly tied up, and his complexion was normal, no different from when he went in.

But when the girls saw into Lin Chen's eyes, they knew this guy was different.

He's still as lazy as ever, but there's something more beneath that laziness.

They couldn't quite put their finger on it, but Lin Chen made them feel a sense of involuntary submission.

Lin Chen stood on the steps, looking at the girls, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

"Are you all here?"

Yan Ruyu stood up, patted off non-existent dust from her skirt, and looked up at Lin Chen.

"I'm waiting for you."

Mei Jiu Niang jumped down from the pillar, pounced on Lin Chen, and clung to him, pouting as she said:

"You've finally come out! I haven't had a good night's sleep in a month."

Lin Chen patted her head, his eyes full of helplessness.

This woman would flirt with him and take advantage of him whenever she had the chance.

Lingbo stood still, looking at Lin Chen without saying a word, only nodding slightly in response.

Chi Meng looked at Lin Chen for two seconds, then spoke:

"I'm looking for you tonight."

After saying that, he turned and left, decisively and cleanly.

Lin Chen stood there, his lips twitching.
