"Of course not. They do not belong to the outside world. Look at me and Xiaobai. You can't see us there as well."
Heiyu, who was lying on the children's bed sleeping with the babies, jumped onto the sofa. Hearing his words, Yun Che remembered that when he was in the Space, the air panel did not show those creatures inside the Space, "But I'm not considered someone from the outside world, so why there's a dot representing me?"
"Uh… master, can you stop being stupid?"
Heiyu rolled his eyes, "You are a creature stripped away from this world after birth, and the little masters are born this way. How can you be the same? Seriously, little masters are the first humans in this Space."
"Okay, I won't throw you this time."
It seemed that he was indeed being stupid this time. Yun Che took back his hand that was about to grab Heiyu's tail, "Take them back to the Space later. Try to keep them inside the space in the future, so that they'll cause us less trouble."
"Aren't you afraid that they will harm the creatures in the Space?"
"Well…"
Xing Feng's words made Yun Che speechless. That was something likely to happen, especially Heiyu was the boss of the Space and he spoiled the kids a lot.
"Let them be. Do whatever damage they can. That's how you teach Chenchen, isn't it, brother? In a world like this, being kind and weak isn't something desirable. We only need to teach them to stay humane. It wouldn't do any harm to become a bit naughty and mischievous."
"Well, I'm not intending to correct them either. Let's see what'll happen. We'll teach them if them make some more mistakes."
Yun Che nodded in agreement. He was always open-minded when it comes to the education of children. Chenchen was still a good boy, wasn't he? Ningning and the other kids might be bossy in the future but they would still have a bottom line to stick to. If they really went too far, they would be there to deal with them.
"That's right. Che, what are you going to do next?"
Trying to stop him thinking about the kids, Tan Weiye changed the topic.
"I was planning to go back to the southwest, but I've changed my mind. If we still haven't received Fei Ye's letter before Ningning's birthday, I'll swing by the northeast by myself. If we hear from him, we'll go there after having discussion with him. Since the research center for mutant human beings of the Northeast Base is not in their base, I must destroy it."
He said it two years ago that he was going to destroy what Gao Wei cared most, and now it was time.
"Are you going there alone?"
Tan Weiye frowned. What if he encountered that Dark Shadow again? It had been two years and who knew if the Dark Shadow would still leave him intact or not? What if his true self came out as well? Then even Che would not be a match for him, right?
"No, Xing Feng and others are coming as well. But I just want to destroy the mutant research center, not the entire Northeast Base. It would draw their attention if we go there as a large group. So maybe I'll go with Xing Feng. And if Fei Ye returns, the three of us will go together."
Man-made calamities were always caused by the leader. Those who struggled at the bottom were the most innocent ones. The true villain of the Northeast Base was the Gao Family and the high-rank military officials of the Gao Army. The soldiers and survivors were innocent.
"Ugh…"
Knowing what he meant, Tan Weiye sighed again. If it wasn't for so many civilians, they wouldn't be so scrupulous. The military's thermal weapons were some real deals. If the entire Northeast Base were like the Gao Family, they would have used nuclear bombs long ago. Even if they couldn't destroy them all, at least they could destroy their research, right?
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong?"
Heiyu lying on the side suddenly stood up, and Yun Che, who noticed it, asked in confusion.
"It's calling for me."
His words didn't make sense. Heiyu immediately jumped to the window, facing the direction of the sea. He looked solemn. Yun Che frowned and instantly moved behind him. Who else would call for him except that divine beast?
"Did it say anything?"
Yun Che asked with a serious face.
"No. It was just calling out to me, and it didn't say anything."
Shaking his head, Heiyu turned to look at him, "Beasts are different from humans. Our blood lineage says the most. I've told you before that he is a purer and more advanced divine beast than me and he can call out to me through the oppression. Master, I'm afraid we'll have to travel to the bottom of the sea first before going to the northeast."
If Heiyu was a human, then his face must look ugly now. Facing the guardian beast of this world who was purer and more advanced than him, he stood no chance of winning.
"Then let's go."
After a while of silence, Yun Che made a decision. They had to face it sooner or later. Since it had come to them, then they would have to accept the invitation.
"Okay."
After looking at him deeply for a long while, Heiyu nodded in determination.
"I'll go with you guys."
Xing Feng said in a deep voice. They were unsure whether they were facing an enemy or friend and it was someone powerful. There was no way he would let Yun Che go there by himself.
"We're coming as well!"
Yun Cheng and the others also said in unison.
"No. I'll just go with master."
Throwing a stare at them, Heiyu jumped onto the window, and turned into twice the size of a mastiff. Seeing that, Yun Che jumped onto his back, "I'll go with Heiyu. It'll be fine. If he simply called out to Heiyu and did nothing else, he should be friendly, at least for now. There was no need to worry."
"Let Eagle King and Eagle Queen out. I'll go with you to the seaside."
At least, he would stay in the nearest place to him.
"And the Wolf King and the others. We are going to the seaside as well."
Ye Xingchen added. They were not going to stay at home and do nothing. Yun Che helplessly shook his head and waved his hand. And the six golden eagles flew out, as well as ten mutant rocs. They were trained to guard the planting area. Since the land of the southwest was incorporated into the base, these were the only ones left.
"Let's go to the seaside together. Sis, please take care of the children."
Having said that, Yun Che patted Heiyu, and he jumped out of the yard. Meanwhile, Xing Feng and others also got on the golden eagles and rocs and flew towards the sea at the back. Along the way, survivors who saw them cheered and after they saw Heiyu running by, they understood what was happening, and the voices chanting Yun Che and Xing Feng sounded again in the base.
The back of the Coast Base was surrounded by thick walls that were dozens of meters tall. Each of the wall was fan-shaped, and the ground in the flanks are flatter. So when the waves came, as long as they could withstand the first attack, the sea water could be diverted to both sides. Superfunction possessors of earth and gold specifically installed pipes on the ground, and water seeping into the land would return to the sea through those pipes. Therefore, no damage would be done to the base. The Coast had racked their brains in finding a way to defend against the waves.
"Base Commander!"
Seeing them from afar, the soldiers patrolling the city walls saluted them in unison. Tan Weiye, who was on the back of the roc, waved his hand. At the same time, Heiyu grew larger again, and turned into something like a dark mountain. He jumped easily through the walls and ran towards the calm beach kilometers away. Xing Feng and others followed closely behind.
"Master, divide the water."
Stopping in front of the sea, Heiyu's paws were immersed in seawater. He could already feel the direction of the qilin beast. However, he wasn't able to use his divine power outside the Space so he could only ask Yun Che to separate the sea water, which was a piece of cake for him, who was a superfunction possessor of all systems and whose cultivation had almost reached the Ascension Stage.
"Okay."
"Boom boom…"
The dark blade suddenly appeared. As Yun Che leaped up, the true qi was injected into the blade. Yun Che swinged the blade with both hands on it, and the wind generated, together with the true qi, split the calm surface apart. The immense sea was like being cut, and a fissure appeared in between. Then the waves rose to the sky, which were dozens of meters high. As spectators stared incredulously, the sea was split into halves with the wave at the center. A bizarre channel appeared in the middle.
"Wait for us!"
"Che!"
"Che!"
Once again landing on the back of Heiyu, Yun Che asked them to wait for him and rushed into the sea with Heiyu. Xing Feng and others went forward but Heiyu could no longer be seen on that strange channel, and the seawater soon return to its original form. Seconds later, it was calm again.
"Don't worry, Che will be alright."
Reaching out to pat Xing Feng's shoulder, Tan Weiye was both comforting him and convincing himself. None of them knew if that divine beast was really harmless, and whether it would hurt Yun Che and Heiyu. They could never be sure.
"…"
Turning his head to look at him, Xing Feng didn't say anything. His face was cold as he walked back. After he walked to a place seawater couldn't reach, he sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes and start cultivation. Though the aura in the outside world was not enough for him to cultivate, he still did it, because this was the only way to keep him from seeking Yun Che in the sea. He couldn't calm down no matter what when he came to think that Yun Che was in danger.
Seeing this, Chu Haoling and the others also walked back in silence and sat down cross-legged next to him. They sat in line and started cultivation.
"Let's go over there too."
Holding Yun Cheng's shoulders, Leng Yehan said in a deep voice. He knew that Yun Cheng was worried about Yun Che, so did he. But now worrying couldn't help at all. They only thing they could do was to trust them and wait calmly for their return.
"No."
Shaking his head, Yun Cheng leaned in his arms and held his waist with both arms, "Let's stay here. I want to wait a little longer."
Closing his red eyes, Yun Cheng tried to calm down. God knew how much he wanted to go with them when his brother and Heiyu went into the sea. His brother meant undoubtedly more to him than senior brother. If he didn't make a prompt decision to feed him when he was turned into a zombie, he would have been dead long ago. And they were always close as siblings, which made him even more worried.
"It'll be alright. The most important ones to him were all waiting for him. He won't let anything happen to him."
Gently embracing him, Leng Yehan watched the endless sea. It had been more than three years since the fall of the doomsday. Apart from being abducted by Fei Ye, Yun Che had never made them worried or scared. And he believed this time was the same. He would soon return with Heiyu. That was for sure!
