As Li Guofeng revealed the whole truth about Project Fire, everyone present was stunned.
Especially after learning that this kid Wang Zheng actually possessed spatial abilities, and that the space he created could sustain living beings and eventually create a real world, these well-informed old guys were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Good heavens, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in shock.
What defines a genius? A true genius!
Given their status, they've seen all sorts of people before, but someone as overpowered as Wang Zheng is truly unprecedented and unparalleled!
Don't forget that the method of creating the Holy Light Talisman was created by this kid, and just a few days ago, the whole army was just informed of his achievement of blocking the entrance to a cave by himself and covering the retreat of the main force.
Looking at it now, this isn't a person at all; it's a mobile sanctuary with the highest level of protection against the Heavenly Demon.
No wonder the two leaders didn't let this kid take any risks. If they had known about his special abilities earlier, they probably would have developed high blood pressure from panic while he was dominating the battlefield!
I can only say that he is a leader after all; his composure is truly admirable!
While Li Guofeng and the other man were explaining, Wang Zheng tried several times to interrupt but couldn't find an opportunity.
When he saw that everyone readily agreed with Li Guofeng's approach and gave him approving looks, Wang Dashao felt unusually guilty.
Later, the old general who had volunteered for the battle even came to advise him to be patient and restrained, which made Wang Zheng extremely embarrassed.
Once everyone quieted down, Wang Shao, having been forced into a corner, reluctantly decided to confess.
“I know everyone means well. Indeed, for the sake of the bigger picture, I shouldn’t take the risk. But my decision to go to that outer realm isn’t impulsive; I have a real reason to do so.”
Seeing that he had immediately attracted everyone's attention after speaking, Wang Zheng's lips trembled a few times, but he still managed to utter a reality that left everyone in despair.
"Do you remember when I encountered that bloodthirsty avatar of the Demon Lord of Desire in the ancient mountain town of Anhui?"
"You mean..."
Li Guofeng immediately realized what was going on.
Wang Zheng nodded helplessly.
"That's right, I said back then that the other party's attitude was very strange. Although I haven't noticed anything wrong over the years, the other party must have left a location coordinate on me."
Ever since this demonic invasion, I've often felt their gaze and scrutiny. Although I haven't sensed much malice, I want to say that I've actually been targeted by that demon lord..."
Faced with the shift in everyone's gaze from hope to despair, Wang Zheng hesitated to look at Li Guofeng, who was now slumped in his seat. He then smiled bitterly and continued:
"If this matter cannot be resolved, I believe the Spark Project must be temporarily shelved."
The reason I want to go to the outer realms is to resolve this matter. Moreover, compared to other grandmasters, with my strength, I can explore more information in the cave!
Trust me, everyone. I'm someone who values my life above all else. Even if I can't win a fight, I can still escape..."
In the conference room, despair had reached its peak, but after thinking for a moment, Young Master Wang still added a few words.
"Originally, I didn't want to say anything and planned to wait until things were settled before talking about it, but now that this matter has been brought into the open, it can't be hidden anymore. I still hope that you seniors can help me keep this a secret and not let more people know, including my parents. I don't want everyone to worry. Well, that's all..."
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. With Wang Zheng's insistence, Li Guofeng had no reason to stop him, and in the end, he could only reluctantly agree to his request.
However, in his mind, Wang Zheng had long been synonymous with the future rise of Blue Star, so he naturally wouldn't let Young Master Wang venture into the Demon King's stronghold without any precautions.
Based on this, Li Guofeng made a request.
That means you have to bring other grandmasters along.
Initially, Young Master Wang was not prepared to agree. After all, judging from his strength, as long as he didn't face the Demon Lord, even ordinary high-level demon generals wouldn't be his match.
If you're really unlucky, these masters won't be of any use, and you might even have to spare some energy to protect them.
But this time, Li Guofeng was unusually insistent, insisting that Wang Zheng take them along.
Moreover, Master Wu Gang, who was leading the group, gave a reason that was impossible for anyone to refuse.
“Master Wang, we all know our limits and that we are not strong enough to be of much help. Don’t worry, once we enter the cave, we will split up and we will definitely not be a burden to you.”
We old folks have lived long enough. We even signed up for the mission to explore the cave, but we weren't selected.
"I'm just an old man now. Even if I only bring back some useful information or the remains of my comrades, I'll die without regrets!"
Looking at those pairs of eyes yearning for battle, and facing these senior masters, the backbone of the human race, Wang Zheng could only sigh and finally concede.
"In that case, let me see you off. After all, there are high-level demon generals guarding the entrance to this cave, so it won't be easy to break through. Once we're inside, we'll proceed according to plan!"
As he spoke, Wang Zheng waved his hand to open his spiritual space, indicating that these grandmasters could go in first and he would lead the group.
Looking at the world in the passage before them, which resembled the real world, many grandmasters who were learning about Wang Zheng's abilities for the first time were stunned and speechless for a long time.
Finally, Wu Gang laughed a few times and went in first.
"That's fine too, it means we old fogies are getting the better deal!"
Then more and more grandmasters walked towards Wang Zheng, taking turns patting him on the shoulder and striding inside.
"I won't waste my breath trying to persuade you, but you absolutely mustn't die! You are humanity's hope!"
"Now I finally understand why Xiao Li always disagreed with you, the top combatant, venturing into dangerous territory. I was truly a frog in a well. Master Wang, you must protect yourself..."
Faced with the kindness of the older generation, Wang Zheng had nothing to say but gratitude and could only nod silently.
Once these elderly people, who were convinced of their impending doom, had entered their own spiritual space, Young Master Wang did not linger. With a long roar, he rode the wind and, under the watchful eyes of Li Guofeng and Zhao Yucai, arrived outside the protective shield.
Then he shot an arrow directly at the nearest western suburb, which was the entrance to the Tai Xuan Si Zhen Cave Heaven. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the Heavenly Demon Army outside the Imperial Capital, his figure being concealed by the endless waves of black...
