Besides Chen Kaiyang, Wang Duan, and Xu Zhou, Gao Feng, Shi Chuan, and others also came to say goodbye.
That morning, Li Ze had just woken up when he opened his eyes and met He Xingjue's burning gaze.
"Are you ready?" He Xingjue asked.
Li Ze blinked. "I have something else to give you."
As he spoke, Li Ze took out a white ball of light from his sea of consciousness. "This is a snow wolf. Its consciousness is still intact. When we reach the cultivation world, we can find a body for it and perhaps revive it."
"Then you keep it for me. Your spiritual sense is stronger than mine," He Xingjue said, showing no intention of taking it.
Li Ze stared intently at him, then pushed the ball of light forward a little, saying, "You can take it yourself."
“No, you keep it.” He Xingjue’s attitude was firm. “You keep it for me. If we accidentally get separated, I will definitely find you again, and then you can give me the Snow Wolf.”
Li Ze opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word of refusal for a long time. Finally, he agreed, "Okay."
On this day, Li Ze and He Xingjue disappeared without a sound. They did not notify anyone or leave any words. The only thing they left behind was their personal computers.
Chen Kaiyang, Wang Duan, and Xu Zhou waited until the afternoon, and then from the afternoon until the next day, but Li Ze's door remained closed.
Chen Kaiyang wanted to knock on the door, but Wang Duan and Xu Zhou stopped him. "They might be sleeping. You forgot, last time Commander He just came back, they slept in their room for three days."
They deliberately emphasized the word 'sleep', which is now used as a verb.
Chen Kaiyang hesitated for a moment and temporarily gave up his plan to knock on the door.
Later, it wasn't until noon on the fourth day that they realized something was wrong. The three of them looked at each other and saw tears welling up in each other's eyes.
The three of them rushed to Li Ze's door. Chen Kaiyang raised his hand to knock on the door, but it opened as soon as his hand touched it.
The three exchanged glances, their uneasy feelings intensifying.
"Big boss?"
"Commander He?"
There was no response; the room was quiet.
Chen Kaiyang and his two companions entered the room, where everything seemed normal until Chen Kaiyang spotted the two personal computers on the bedside table. He then said with a sense of loss, "The boss is gone."
"I knew this day would come sooner or later. When Commander He disappeared, I already felt something was wrong. I was mentally prepared for the big boss to leave, but it's still so heartbreaking," Wang Duan said, his voice choked with emotion.
“They must have gone to another world.” Xu Zhou looked at the two personal computers, his tone suddenly becoming serious. “We must ensure the foundation continues to operate successfully.”
This is the only thing they can do for the big boss.
"Of course, as long as the Vermilion Bird Star exists, the Li Ze Charity Foundation will exist."
He Xingjue and Li Ze left without the citizens of the entire empire realizing it.
Five years later, the Void Beast Tide reappeared, and everyone visited all the live streams.
"Where's the big boss?"
"Where is Commander He?"
"Neither of them will see each other. In the past, the big boss and Commander He were always at the forefront. Could it be that they are tied up by something this time and can't get away?"
"Rumor has it that these two disappeared five years ago."
"Disappeared? What do you mean? Were they murdered? But that can't be right. With their strength, who could possibly harm them?"
"They've either been murdered or disappeared. Think about the time Commander He went missing; maybe they went to another world."
"The idea upstairs is very bold, but it may not be impossible. After all, the things between the big boss and Commander He can never be explained by common sense."
"It is said that they suddenly disappeared in the room. The two quantum computers were neatly placed on the bedside table. Everything in the room was normal, with no signs of a struggle."
"Waaah, I'll miss them so much. Without them, the Empire will never have anyone who can slice the Void Beasts like watermelons again."
........
Year after year passed, and the empire experienced several waves of Void Beasts, but Li Ze and He Xingjue were never seen again, and everyone had to accept the fact that the two had disappeared.
For many years afterward, no one mentioned Li Ze and He Xingjue's names anymore. Instead, the Li Ze Charity Foundation became increasingly famous, eventually becoming known throughout the entire interstellar space. Every time a beast tide appeared, the foundation would donate a large sum of star coins, either for post-war reconstruction or to subsidize the warriors.
This foundation has existed for many years and will continue to exist in the future.
Li Ze felt that he had been in a daze for a long time, not knowing how much time had passed, whether it was years, decades, or even hundreds of years.
When his consciousness returned, he "saw" a familiar yet unfamiliar environment: a dark red sky, jagged mountains, and everything in sight was gloomy.
Isn't this where he was originally born?
He has lived here for over a thousand years and knows this place too well; there's no way he could mistake it.
Human vs. Demon Battlefield!
The place where demons and monks fought.
Li Ze carefully examined his current state: no hands, no feet, no body, no head... He had turned into a cloud of mist again.
Everything has to start all over again.
Li Ze smiled bitterly.
Fortunately, this time he was conscious and had memories, unlike last time when he was confused and wasted thousands of years before he realized he should actively absorb demonic energy.
This time, he will definitely be able to condense his body even faster.
After thinking about it this way, Li Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
He's here now, but where is He Xingjue?
With a thought, Li Ze instantly covered an area of more than ten miles in radius.
There wasn't a single living creature.
He Xing is definitely not here.
At this moment, Li Ze regretted it. He shouldn't have terminated his master-servant contract with He Xingjue. If he hadn't terminated the contract, he might still be able to sense He Xingjue's life or death.
However, he dared not gamble. If he were to die accidentally in the spacetime turbulence, He Xingjue would suffer a backlash from the master-servant contract and be severely injured. Being severely injured in the spacetime turbulence meant that death was not far off.
Li Ze recalled the disbelief and fear on He Xingjue's face when the master-servant contract was terminated. Even though he no longer had a body, he still felt the pain in his heart.
He Xingjue's strength is no less than his; if he's not dead, then the other party will definitely be alright too. Li Ze comforted himself.
He needed to quickly solidify his body and then go find He Xingjue.
As for revenge, he is no match for Ji Lin now, and he has already returned to the Demon Realm, so he is not in a hurry.
The battlefield between humans and demons is filled with malevolent energy, which is why Li Ze, the Devouring Demon, was born. If Li Ze returns here and continues to feed, he will eventually be able to solidify his physical form.
Last time, when his consciousness was just beginning to emerge, he understood nothing and it took him nearly a thousand years to condense a body.
But this time—
Li Ze thought of He Xingjue, who might be waiting for him somewhere. Therefore, he could not afford to waste another thousand years, and he was not willing to spend even five hundred years!
Perhaps he could go find his horn; if he could find his demonic horn, he could reconstitute his body in less than a century.
However, since he left the Demon Realm for so long, does he still have his demon horns?
Could Ji Lin have already refined his demon horn?
