Wang Zheng was accidentally reborn into a parallel world where spiritual energy was recovering.
He thought he would have to cultivate diligently, but he discovered he could rely entirely on a...
"Zheng—"
A roar loud enough to pierce eardrums rang out, the ferocious beast seemingly unable to accept the oppression of mere humans.
However, just as they were about to make their move, they saw the human's fingers twitch slightly.
Before him, a surge of chaotic spiritual energy erupted, now slowly rotating, its ends connected.
At first glance, it seems to have nothing special, but over time, the ring of spiritual energy that forms an inverted figure "8" seems to contain countless profound principles.
At this moment, even this hot-tempered ancient beast hesitated...
It and its clone were originally one entity. After escaping, it merged with the other's memories and naturally learned of Wang Zheng's existence and the human's obsession.
At first, when this guy asked him to hand over his clone, he only resisted instinctively, feeling that as a divine beast, he could not be coerced by mere humans.
But now that I think about it carefully, it's just sending this clone to experience the mortal world for a few more years, what's the big deal?
Even if Wang Zheng takes the person away to fulfill his filial duties, how long can a human live?
Besides, this was originally the responsibility of my reincarnated self. I didn't absorb the other party back because I didn't want to get involved in karma. It's only a few decades anyway, so I can just bear with it.
Perhaps when I wake up, my clone will be back.
We're all family, there's no need for me to fall out with this powerful kid and fight to the death.
But even though that's the truth, it needs to be made clear that I'm not afraid, but rather showing respect for someone who has resolved the great calamity of heaven and earth and is the legendary chosen one!
Upon thinking of this, the enormous divine beast immediately shifted its gaze and soon disappeared back into the river of time, leaving only its clone frozen in place, trembling.
Young Master Wang nodded slightly to the departing, dark-faced divine beast. Then, seeing the terrified expression on the clone's face, he pointed a finger, sealing its memories. Immediately afterward, a swirl of spiritual energy enveloped the creature, causing it to vanish from the spot...
South of Beijing, behind Nanjing University.
A week had passed since the Supreme Demon Lord was defeated, but Wang Zheng had not returned during this time. Wang Shengrong and Lao Chu, unable to wait for him, returned early as well.
On the one hand, Jingnan is in dire need of rebuilding and cannot do without people. On the other hand, they also want to see if Wang Zheng did not go to the capital and went back to Jingnan to hide.
The idea was good, but they came up empty-handed; Young Master Wang hadn't returned at all.
That afternoon, just as the group was discussing things in the research institute on the back mountain, a deep black hole suddenly slowly unfolded at the entrance of the conference room, and then a sturdy figure stepped out from it.
Who else could it be but Wang Zheng!
"I'm back!"
A deep voice suddenly rang out in the silent conference room, and the people present turned around excitedly upon hearing the familiar voice.
"Wang Zheng!"
"son!"
"You brat, you finally decided to come back!"
The moment Wang Zheng appeared, several figures stood up at the same time. Xiao Man, in particular, was so excited that she burst into tears and rushed over, wanting to throw herself into his strong embrace.
But after walking a few steps, he noticed that there was another young man behind Wang Zheng with the exact same appearance and build, so he stopped in his tracks in confusion.
At first, the group thought that Wang Zheng had created another clone, but as Wang Zheng revealed everything, everyone's expressions gradually became serious and blank.
However, Young Master Wang told a little white lie, saying that he was the reincarnation of a ferocious beast and had accidentally come to Blue Star from Earth.
The original Wang Zheng was sealed in his sea of consciousness because of his lack of strength and weak soul, and he cultivated in a daze for more than ten years.
Under the overwhelming onslaught of this information, even Li Liang, a master of mental cultivation, fainted from the shock. Only Wang Shengrong, who was channeling spiritual energy into his wife, remained, asking with a wry smile:
"So, you're actually Wang Zheng from Earth, and the man behind you is my biological son?"
Young Master Wang nodded slowly.
"Dad, you don't need to think too much. He's your son, and so am I."
However, this is not what I wanted to see. If I had a choice, perhaps I would not have come to Earth.
"Besides, I've been missing for so long, you guys on Earth must be incredibly worried. As your son/daughter, I hope you can understand..."
At this point, he gently stroked the top of the clone's head again, and Wang Zheng, who was still unconscious with his eyes closed, murmured something and was about to wake up.
To avoid worrying his parents and to keep the boy in line, Wang Zheng sealed away the boy's memories of the ferocious beast early on. Even if the boy were to wake up now, he would only remember that he had been in seclusion for more than ten years and had already become a human grandmaster.
As for his strength... Young Master Wang didn't use any tricks. Right now, there's probably no one on Blue Star who can beat this guy. It's perfect to leave him here to take care of his parents in their old age.
Although Wang Zheng did not say goodbye in his words, nor did he express any intention to leave, the elders in front of him, who were closely connected with him, could still tell that he was giving his final instructions.
Even the slow-witted Chu Xiaoman could see through Wang Zheng's thoughts.
Before the clone whose memories had been forcibly erased awoke, Xiaoman and several elders asked together:
"Wang Zheng, are you leaving?"
"Are you confident about traversing a parallel world? Or maybe..."
Although their focus of concern differed, the meaning they wanted to express was the same. When Wang Shao looked up, he saw Chu Xiaoman's tear-streaked face and a series of concerned faces.
"No, that's not true. My responsibilities aren't finished yet; I still have other things to do..."
In this situation, Wang Zheng simply couldn't bring himself to say it, and could only give vague answers.
Despite this, Chu Xiaoman refused to believe it and insisted on asking:
"Will we ever see each other again?"
Her voice trembled, and she sobbed uncontrollably. This girl, who was just one step away from becoming a grandmaster, had a premonition that perhaps this separation would be forever.
Wang Zheng sighed and gently ruffled the hair that had grown into that of a young woman.
"If there's a chance, I definitely can!"
With time running out and feeling his energy dwindling, Wang Zheng steeled himself and, despite everyone's pleas for him to stay, resolutely plunged into the spacetime vortex...
