Chapter 2984: Chapter 2985: Arrival

Zhang Tianyou’s face turned red—a rare occurrence.

As a top scientist, he was nearly omnipotent, except in the realm of human art skills, where his talent was mediocre.

Especially in painting, despite trying every method he could think of, what he produced was still very painful to the eyes.

"Alright, just make do and know that it’s supposed to be a turtle shell. Whether it looks like one or not is totally unimportant!" Zhang Tianyou joked self-deprecatingly.

Huyue pursed his lips as he was about to speak, but at that moment, the turtle shell finally finished breaking and then automatically entered the calculation program.

A myriad of obscure and incomprehensible symbols slid across the screen.

Huyue couldn’t help but hold his breath, staring silently.

Suddenly,

The waterfall-like stream of information abruptly stopped, followed by the appearance of three bright red exclamation marks.

"What kind of omen is this?" Huyue immediately asked.

Zhang Tianyou’s expression instantly turned very grim, "It’s an ominous omen!"

"Huh? What kind of ominous omen?" Huyue’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly asked.

At this time, the three exclamation marks on the screen gradually disappeared, replaced by a line of annotations.

Yet, Huyue couldn’t understand those enigmatic symbols at all, and couldn’t help but ask again in panic, "What exactly is it?"

Zhang Tianyou took a deep breath, "It’s the Kan water hexagram, the twenty-ninth hexagram out of sixty-four, also known as an ominous hexagram!"

"Kan itself represents water, and this hexagram shows water both inside and out, a perilous situation of water over water!"

Huyue’s expression gradually grew heavy, but his inherently optimistic nature forced a smile, "I think this thing is just inaccurate, purely superstitious nonsense. It’s just for fun!"

Zhang Tianyou glanced at Huyue, who shrank his shoulders guiltily.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Zhang Tianyou was simply caught between laughter and tears, "You’re something else, if the omen is good, it’s great fortune; if the omen is bad, it’s superstitious nonsense. You’re so practical, huh?"

"Hehe! How can that be called practical? It’s called..."

Before Huyue could finish, a piercing alarm started blaring inside the cabin.

Huyue jumped in fright, "What’s going on?"

Zhang Tianyou was quicker, rushing to the command console immediately upon hearing the alarm. After a round of operations, his expression turned extremely solemn.

"My monitoring device, which I previously set up, has detected abnormal energy fluctuations, seemingly indicating something has arrived!"

"Is it an evil entity?" Huyue asked gravely.

"I can’t be sure yet, but the energy fluctuations are very eerie—it doesn’t seem like a regular presence!"

"Damn it! It actually dares to come, huh? Old Zhang, tell me the location of these abnormal fluctuations—I’m going to confront it!" Huyue said vehemently.

"It’s no use!" Zhang Tianyou shook his head, "The energy fluctuation lasted less than a second before disappearing!"

"Disappeared? Where’d it go?"

"I don’t know. This sudden intruder is clearly very cunning; it only revealed fluctuations at the beginning. Once it detected the monitoring, it concealed the fluctuation, making it difficult to pinpoint its exact location."

"So what now? Just stand guard here?" Huyue was somewhat disheartened.

"Rest assured, if this entity truly is evil, and it arrives with intent, now though hidden, it will expose its hand at the first move!"

"So we wait for it to make the first move?"

"Yes!" Zhang Tianyou nodded, "And I have a hunch that this guy’s target should be related to us!"

"You mean... Old Xue’s sealed body?" Huyue shuddered at the thought.

"This is just my guess. Whether it’s true or not is unknown, but we must stay vigilant to prevent unexpected occurrences!"

"Got it! Damn it, Old Xue was like a brother who shared my life with me. When he left, he entrusted me with his body. Even if it costs me my life, I’ll protect him completely!"

"If this evil entity doesn’t show, that’s fine; if it comes, I’ll give it a hard time!"

While Huyue was gnashing his teeth, on the other side, Nurmie morphed into a shadowy figure, smirking coldly as he observed the monitoring devices set on an abandoned planet.

"Interesting, this small Multiverse surprisingly has such a person who can develop such a clever monitoring device. If I hadn’t realized quickly, I might have already exposed my position!"

Following the plan charted out, Nurmie finally succeeded in passing through the dimensional barrier, entering the Multiverse.

Although his power was inevitably diminished, at least the rules remained intact.

This was Nurmie’s greatest reliance.

In such a universe level as the Multiverse, Nurmie’s rules were virtually unbeatable.

If he wished, he could even take control of the entire Multiverse in a short period.

However, Nurmie preferred not to, as his primary mission was to eliminate Xue An’s body, left behind.

Other matters, he truly did not care about.

After all, the Multiverse, in his eyes, was just a shallow puddle. Who cares if he could rule over here?

"Strange, I couldn’t sense Xue An’s body! Could it be someone has sealed his body through some method?"

Nurmie sensed carefully, frowning, but quickly smirked again.

"So what if it’s sealed? The Multiverse is just this large—searching bit by bit won’t take much effort!"

"Oh, this planet seems interesting; it carries a trace of Xue An’s aura. Let’s start with you!"

With that, Nurmie instantly disappeared, reappearing before a blue planet in the next moment.

Then Nurmie’s tone grew more excited.

"Tsk tsk, is it Hua Clan’s ancestral lands? Moreover, after chaos in time, there are still native deities guarding this place! Isn’t that interesting!"

Nurmi’s body stopped quivering, then gradually distorted, soon transforming into a human shape and then flew into the Earth.

Guangjiankou, Erlang Shrine.

Ever since Erlang Shen appeared on Earth, this place has become a Holy Land in the hearts of Hua Clan people.

Visitors come daily for worship; the incense is flourishing.

And on this day, a man dressed in black arrived at Erlang Shrine.

The man looked quite ordinary, the kind that would vanish instantly in a crowd.

The temple staff, busy attending countless worshippers, naturally paid him no mind.

The man stepped right into the temple, gazing upward; there stood prominently the statue of Erlang Shen.

Beside the shrine, there was also a newly built statue of a woman, with the plaque reading "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady" in large characters.

The man’s eyes flickered with a meaningful gleam.

At this moment, finally, a temple staff noticed him and approached.

"Are you here to offer incense, donor?"

The man turned to look at the temple staff, seeing just an ordinary person, a faint smile appeared on his face.
