Capítulo 2049: Chapter 2: Lord Jia Yan?

Next, his brainwave power sensed a gaping maw in the passage ahead, suddenly opening and closing.

He quickly seized the opportunity and shot directly toward the position where the gaping maw was.

Then, the giant mouth, which spanned thousands of kilometers and could almost swallow half of Earth, closed again.

“I’ve returned! The Milky Way!”

Even though the surrounding space remained the pitch-black of subspace, Jia Yan could already feel the familiar sensation from this space around him.

It was precisely the unique feeling that comes from the Milky Way’s subspace.

“Let’s go.”

Jia Yan didn’t linger to check anything, as in the interior of this Sixth Level Space, apart from a sense of oppression different from the previous Sixth Level Space, it was mostly the same.

“The whole process probably took just a few days, of course, that is assuming my sense of time aligns with real time.”

Jia Yan knew that time perception is entirely different during movements that exceed the speed of light. It’s like a person moving at light speed feeling as if seconds pass, while outside, it may have been thousands or even billions of years.

He feared such a situation might occur, knowing the distance he had just traversed, with speeds far surpassing light speed, incomparable in magnitude.

If such time-shortening were to happen, many years could have passed in a blink, not only missing reunions with family on Earth but uncertain if Earth still even existed.

Thus, upon returning, Jia Yan wanted to fly out to confirm such possibilities.

Divine Spirit Major Domain.

Everything seemed as though he had left not long ago.

But in reality, several months had passed in this area.

“Will Lord Jia Yan truly return?”

“In yesterday’s battle, even Lady Li Li was injured. What should we do next?”

In a sub-layer of space, several Divine Spirit beings and strongmen from the outside world with stellar-level strength were silently healing and talking here.

They were Jia Yan’s group of subordinates.

This group of subordinates, originating from the Divine Spirit Star, fought alongside Jia Yan in many places, and were considered good subordinates to Jia Yan, with enough strength and reliability.

Initially, Jia Yan should have been with them to lead them out of this Divine Spirit Major Domain, but his own disappearance left these subordinates like headless flies.

Yet they waited, hoping for Jia Yan’s reappearance.

These subordinates completely refused to believe that Jia Yan would just die under the chase of the three Divine Emperors of the Divine Spirit Major Domain, as Jia Yan had led them through so many battles, even several that transcended tiers.

Their strongest trust in Jia Yan came from his ability to fight beyond his tier, coupled with his identity as the legendary, nearly invincible “Evolutionary Creature.”

Thus, the subordinates believed Jia Yan shouldn’t have died so easily.

But it’s been months now, and Lord Jia Yan still hasn’t shown any sign of life. Even with their confidence in Jia Yan, they began to feel his chances of survival were slim.

“My strength has already reached the first threshold of the Yin-Yang Dao taught by Lord Jia Yan. The next path requires Lord Jia Yan’s guidance to advance further, so I’ll stay here. Even if Lord Jia Yan encounters misfortune, I’ll persist here, as leaving would mean no further advancement on my Yin-Yang Path.”

“It’s not just you. We’re all in the same situation, which is why we stay here. Our secondary strength has almost reached the threshold of the Venerable Level, and we’ll need Lord Jia Yan’s help for the next steps.”

The group of creatures questioned whether Jia Yan had genuinely disappeared, as if there were definite news of the Divine Emperors successfully killing Jia Yan, why, after returning to the outside world, would they still dispatch large armies to encircle and exterminate these remnants?

Logically, beings like them, who weren’t considered a threat, shouldn’t be on the radar of the Divine Emperors.

Yet they still came.

Especially when they injured them several times, they did not eliminate them completely, instead observing their escape routes silently.

It seemed as though they were waiting for something to appear.

This was thus the strongest reason why Jia Yan’s subordinates believed he might still be alive.

“Our abilities have all delved deeply into the Yin Yang System. Now, even if we speak it out loud, no one would believe we’re Cosmic Strongmen or beings of the Divine Spirit System. As long as we go out and use the Yin Yang System’s battle strategies, we’ll definitely be coveted. That’s why in prior battles, despite severe injuries, we never revealed our other abilities.”

“Exactly, that’s what we agreed upon. But now, if we don’t use our secondary strengths, it’s likely that, even if we’re all injured, there’s no chance of awaiting any conclusion. Perhaps we should just fight our way out together. Even if our future strength doesn’t improve, with our current capabilities, we might be able to fight jointly against a skilled Divine King, rather than wait here to die.”
