Chapter 1571: Chapter 298: Your Boss Is Still Your Boss

The crevice of dimensions… unknown place.

On the floating desolate land, a figure was lying on a rock. He had a book titled “History of the Roman Empire” covering his face… snoring loudly.

At this moment, a Void Primordial Demon, shaped like a centipede, quietly crawled towards him on the ground… Suddenly, this centipede-like Void Primordial Demon stood upright, reaching a height of fifty or sixty meters!

The person sleeping on the rock appeared as insignificant as an ant in front of this Void Primordial Demon!

Just as the Void Primordial Demon opened its sharp mouthparts, ready to crush the person on the rock, a golden light suddenly shot down from above!

At the same time, the man sleeping with a history book covering his face extended his hand, formed a sword mark with his fingers, and gently waved. The descending golden light seemed to come to life, rapidly spinning and in an instant sliced the Void Primordial Demon into dozens of pieces.

As the demon’s severed body parts fell, the man stretched lazily and sat up. The book naturally fell into his hands, and he closed it.

The golden light returned to the man’s side, transforming into an ordinary door lock.

“Emmm… hasn’t a week passed yet?”

Da Zhe.

Time is not recorded in the dimensional crevice… even if Da Zhe silently counted in his heart, he still didn’t know if the outside world—at least the 003 sub-world he was in—had passed a week.

Or, perhaps only a few minutes had passed on that side?

“Da Zhe.”

Suddenly, a voice so moving that it nearly brought tears to Da Zhe’s eyes quietly appeared behind him… Da Zhe quickly stood up, turned around and emotionally shouted, “Boss! Why are you here!”

Standing before Da Zhe was Luo Qiu, Boss Luo—who was carrying a plastic bag containing what seemed to be dates?

“I’m here to take you back.” Luo Qiu smiled and said, “I thought your work should be completed by now.”

“Boss.” Da Zhe thought for a moment and said, “Before going back, there is something I want to report to you.”

Da Zhe was using the term ‘report’… he rarely used such a formal tone, so Luo Qiu couldn’t help but stop, wondering what surprise Da Zhe might have for him.

“Let’s talk while we eat.” Boss Luo nodded and then waved his hand.

Spontaneously, simple tables and chairs appeared on the desolate land… Boss Luo’s fingers lightly tapped the table, and a rhythmic wave spread outwards from there.

Void Primordial Demons lurking on the barren land, regardless of size or level, shattered in an instant… Da Zhe’s face slightly changed.

For some reason, he suddenly had the feeling… that in this dimensional crevice, his boss seemed to be more powerful—or more at ease—than in the sub-world.

But the boss himself seemed unaware of this.

“Go ahead, what’s the matter?” Boss Luo picked out a date.

“Oh… it’s like this.” Da Zhe took it with both hands before pulling out a chair and sitting down, “Earlier, I accidentally infiltrated the Transcender Organization…”

…

There was no concept of time here, but in terms of pure feeling, Da Zhe didn’t speak for long… After listening to Da Zhe’s narration, Boss Luo did not give a response and simply sat quietly, occasionally eating the fruit.

“The Ninth of Origin… Fuxi Throne.” Boss Luo suddenly muttered softly, “Holy place, Soul Hall.”

“Boss…” Da Zhe hesitated for a moment… actually, ever since he left the Void’s Lost Paradise, he had been contemplating the matter about Heihun Fuxi, and the questions in his heart kept growing, “There is a question I’m not sure whether to ask.”

“Go ahead.” Boss Luo nodded.

Da Zhe asked earnestly, “Boss, how powerful are we exactly?”

“Hmm?” Luo Qiu couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Why do you ask this?”

Da Zhe thought it over and said, “Primarily to consider our current situation… according to The Ninth of Origin, Heihun Fuxi, our title… oh, our shop had a predecessor whose predecessor was the Holy Ground, and the Holy Ground contained the Soul Hall, which controlled all Black Soul envoys. This means our shop exists later on, whereas Black Souls like The Ninth of Origin are old courtiers of the previous dynasty.”

Boss Luo blinked, “Just say whatever you want to say directly.”

Da Zhe took a deep breath and said, “Heihun Fuxi is really terrifying… To be honest, in front of him, I couldn’t even muster the courage to resist! Boss, not afraid of you making fun of me, when I saw him, I was thinking of how to self-destruct to return to the Covenant Chest so you could revive me… you see, this is avoidance. To be honest, even Ms. You Ye doesn’t give me this feeling.”

Boss Luo nodded, “You’re scared; the Covenant Chest isn’t the Soul Hall, and the current shop is unable to control these former Origin Level Black Soul envoys?”

Da Zhe nodded, “That’s exactly it! He is unexpectedly powerful, and he’s just The Ninth. That means there are eight before him… and yet I don’t know how many more follow. But in our shop, there are just a few coming and going, and if something really were to happen…”

Boss Luo said, “So, you want to know if we are powerful or not, right?”

Da Zhe nodded, feeling quite helpless, “After all, I really treat the shop as my home now… I don’t want anything bad to happen to this home.”

“Home…” Luo Qiu opened his mouth, looking at the gray scarf around Da Zhe’s neck, smiling slightly, “Alright, I’ll let you find out if we’re powerful or not.”

Da Zhe was stunned.

Yet, at this moment, Boss Luo waved his hand; suddenly an extra chair appeared beside the table, and the next second, there was an extra person on the chair… The Ninth of Origin, Heihun Fuxi!

Da Zhe immediately drew in a sharp breath, seeing that The Ninth of Origin, Heihun Fuxi, had his mouth slightly open, his arm raised, with a small teacup still in his hand, looking as if he was about to drink halfway.

Oh, and right now, The Ninth of Origin was wearing large shorts.

“What’s going on…” The Ninth of Origin, Fuxi, his hand, still holding the teacup, froze there, looking around with suspicion, then his eyes flickered with a different color, he gracefully set down the teacup, and stood up.

The moment he stood, the large shorts had vanished, and The Ninth of Origin, Fuxi, was again in a blue long robe. He bowed gently to Boss Luo, “The Ninth of Origin, Fuxi, greets the new lord of the holy place.”

“No need for formalities.” Boss Luo smiled slightly, gesturing for the ancient Black soul envoy to sit down and said calmly, “I just heard from Da Zhe about your situation… actually, there’s nothing to worry about, it’s just that Da Zhe was concerned that a Black soul of Origin Level might bully me, this young club owner. I didn’t want him to be unhappy, so I brought you here.”

Heihun Fuxi opened his mouth momentarily but couldn’t say anything… he shook his head bitterly, “It seems that it’s my fault, I must have said something that led to this misunderstanding.”

“Since there’s a misunderstanding, let’s resolve it.” Boss Luo waved his hand, and on the desolate ground, a black cabinet slowly emerged.

The restraining force made Da Zhe furrow his brows unconsciously… a hint of peculiar color flashed in Heihun Fuxi’s eyes, one of The Ninth of Origin.

But he simply lowered his head and said nothing.

Boss Luo said, “This is the Covenant Cabinet, used to place the Life Lamp of the Black soul envoy when I inherited the club. I’m not sure about the Soul Hall, but there’s no Life Lamp of yours inside the Covenant Cabinet. But since you’re also a Black soul envoy, put your Life Lamp into the Covenant Cabinet too, it’s a rule of the club… for some rules, I don’t want to change them for the time being.”

Heihun Fuxi said nothing, just opened his hands calmly, a strand of soul light slowly floated out from his body, then the door of the Covenant Cabinet opened, and this strand of soul light directly entered the Covenant Cabinet.

Until the door of the Covenant Cabinet closed and sank into the ground, disappearing without a trace, Heihun Fuxi’s face did not show any discontented expression, everything seemed so natural.

Then Boss Luo said, “Since your vacation period is ongoing but you unexpectedly came back to your senses, what do you plan to do now? End your vacation early or continue your holiday?”

Heihun Fuxi thought for a moment and said, “Please allow this old courtier to continue this hard-earned vacation.”

“Alright.” Boss Luo nodded and then said, “In that case, let’s temporarily seal all the memories of your unexpected awakening of the Black soul again… you can go back now, Fuxi Throne.”

After saying this, Boss Luo casually knocked on the table, and Heihun Fuxi of The Ninth of Origin instantly vanished from this desolate land.

“Am I dreaming…” Da Zhe instinctively rubbed his eyes, he knew that the boss… the shop was definitely not that simple, but the manner in which Heihun Fuxi of The Ninth of Origin was dismissed was really too…

“Okay.” Boss Luo smiled, “Now you don’t have to worry about anything… this home will be just fine. Let’s go back and clean up, I haven’t gone to school for quite a few days.”

Boss Luo opened the passage to Sub-world No. 003 and directly walked in.

Da Zhe suddenly shivered at this moment, muttering to himself, “I couldn’t see it… couldn’t see it, the boss usually doesn’t make a sound… he’s really scary. Scared me to death…”

How could he have thought that the problem he had troubled over for so long was, in the boss’s eyes, just… a few words!

When he first saw Heihun Fuxi of The Ninth of Origin, he felt the opponent’s boss-like aura was indeed too strong, but who could have thought that the guy’s Life Lamp was taken out so simply?

But thinking about it, the boss seemed not very interested in the predecessor of the shop… why didn’t he inquire about Heihun Fuxi regarding the Holy Ground?

“Maybe, there’s some reason…” Da Zhe vaguely felt that this matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

But he soon stopped thinking about these things… thinking about these matters was exhausting, being a cheerful bouncer was more suitable for him.

…

Void’s Lost Paradise… between the thrones.

In the Fire Cloud Cave, Octagonal Pavilion.

The Fuxi Throne suddenly opened his eyes, looking suspiciously at the teacup in his hand… the tea was clearly already bright.

Beside him, sword girl Zang Jian frowned and looked at him with full suspicion and vigilance.

“Just now… what happened?” The Fuxi Throne pondered and asked.

Zang Jian thought for a moment, looked at him, and said seriously, “You suddenly disappeared just now and then returned, your clothes also changed.”

The Fuxi Throne instinctively looked down… hmm, indeed the clothes had changed.

He didn’t say a word, just silently took out a compass and began to rotate it constantly… after a while, the rotating compass suddenly shattered, turning into many small wooden pieces.

The Fuxi Throne’s expression turned strange seeing this, pondering silently.

“So, what exactly happened?” Zang Jian asked again with a frown.

“I don’t know what happened myself, there’s only one thing I can be sure of.” The Fuxi Throne took a deep breath, then said with a playful smile, “I feel a bit hot… sword girl, how about fanning me?”

“Crazy!” Zang Jian snorted coldly, directly stood up, and flashed into the house.

Looking at the disappeared Zang Jian, The Fuxi Throne awkwardly wiped his forehead and bitterly smiled, “It really is hot… Otherwise, why would there be cold sweat? What exactly… has happened…”

He frowned as he looked at the broken pieces of the compass scattered on the table and couldn’t help but fall into contemplation… In Void’s Lost Paradise, between the thrones and thrones, although they don’t meet often, the thrones are roughly about the same, but who could make him disappear mysteriously and come back?

While he was pondering, the Octagonal Pavilion suddenly cracked open, and a white bone arm reached out from the gap… the white bone palm held a bamboo slip.

The Fuxi Throne reached out to take the bamboo slip, the white bone palm retracted into the gap, and then the gap disappeared.

The Fuxi Throne slowly opened the bamboo slip… what was recorded on this bamboo slip were the messages sent back by members of the Transcender Organization responsible for intelligence within the dimensional rift.

Every once in a while, members who are out gathering intelligence send messages worth noting back to the currently duty-bound Throne.

The bamboo slip mainly recorded two pieces of intelligence.

First piece: Heaven has given orders to fully end all exploration activities of sub-worlds, summoning back all Angels who are out exploring sub-worlds.

Second piece: Due to the exploration of The Primordial World, Sun God Ra, and the Nine Pillar Gods led by Sun God Ra, unexpectedly fell into Sub-world No. 002. They broke free from the captivity of Sub-world No. 002 due to the appearance of reinforcements and successfully escaped. These suddenly appearing reinforcements are suspected to be Goddess of Justice and Truth Maat…
