A Brief Separation
Chapter 54 A Brief Separation
The hottest and most humid time in Element City arrived as scheduled.
The blazing sun high in the sky deterred people from approaching, and the scorching temperature caused the flowers and plants to become somewhat dehydrated, wilted, and devoid of their usual vitality.
Shen Hanyu sat under an evergreen tree, with fruit and drinks on a small table next to him. He picked up a room-temperature drink, ran his fingers over it, and the drink began to emit a chill, making the surrounding environment feel much cooler.
Shen Liuyu changed into a silver dress, her round and fair calves exposed to the air, exuding an alluring youthful charm.
Shui Bing'er was still wearing a blue dress, but her hair was unusually tied up instead of being casually loose, which made her look quite different for a moment.
Shuiyue'er was still wearing the blue short skirt, which was no different from her previous outfit, except that the fabric was noticeably thinner.
After finishing his drink, Shen Hanyu casually brushed aside the stray hairs on his forehead, revealing a pair of deep, bright eyes that seemed to hold the ocean within them, exuding an air of mystery.
After setting down his drink, Shen Hanyu rested his chin on his hand and looked at Shen Liuyu and the other two women, saying:
"I'll be going away for a while tomorrow, I don't know exactly how long, but it won't be more than a year. You can keep all the keys to this place. Come and take care of the plants and clean up when you have time, okay?"
Shen Liuyu was taken aback, then pouted and said somewhat unhappily:
"Going out again? Bro, you haven't had a break for long, are you really that busy?"
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er also looked over with some anticipation.
Having spent a lot of time with Shen Hanyu, they had long since gotten used to his all-knowing presence. At least they still retained their girlish hearts and were very sensitive to things like separation.
Shen Hanyu waved his hand helplessly and said:
"I have no choice. I recently broke through to the Soul Saint realm, so I need to go out and acquire a Soul Ring. I also need to fulfill a promise I made to an elder. It won't be long, but if other things get in the way, then I might not be able to make it..."
Seeing that Shen Hanyu's expression didn't seem to be joking, Shen Liuyu could only nod helplessly, looking at Shen Hanyu with resentment, like a wronged child.
Shui Bing'er didn't speak, but Shui Yue'er asked curiously:
"Brother Yu, where are you planning to get your seventh spirit ring? Do you want to ask my aunt for help? Also, who is this senior you mentioned?"
Shen Hanyu stood up, ruffled the little girl's hair, and said with a smile:
"Knowing so much won't help a child grow tall, Yue'er, are you sure you want to know?"
Shui Yue'er comfortably squinted her eyes, then nodded firmly.
Shen Hanyu sighed and said:
"I found my seventh spirit ring a long time ago, so you don't need to worry about it. There's no danger at all. As for that senior, I can't say his name, but you just need to know that he is a Title Douluo-level powerhouse."
The three women were stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, all finding it hard to believe.
Shen Liuyu tugged at Shen Hanyu's arm and said with some concern:
"Brother, where did you meet this senior titled Douluo? Could it be...?"
Shen Hanyu patted her hand to reassure her and explained:
"I have a deal with that senior, and he is a very trustworthy person. We have a good relationship, so don't worry, there will be no danger."
Shui Bing'er sat to the side and sighed softly. She originally thought that her aunt's Soul Douluo level was already very high. At least there were not many Soul Douluo level experts on the continent at present. However, she never expected that Shen Hanyu would know a Title Douluo and have a close relationship with him.
She was also curious about which titled Douluo it was, but such matters were far from something they could casually inquire about. Even if they knew, it wouldn't all be a good thing; it might even cause them some new trouble.
Shui Yue'er was somewhat dazed; Shen Hanyu's words almost made her little CPU overheat, but she managed to recover in the end...
After exchanging a few more words with the group, the conversation ended when Shen Hanyu almost managed to get the information out of them how many pairs of underwear he had brought on the trip.
After settling all these matters, Shen Hanyu had a special chat with Shen Liuyu to arrange all the big and small affairs before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
…………
The next morning, Shen Hanyu set off early.
To save time, he didn't even bother with a carriage this time. Instead, he spent a fortune to buy a century-old unicorn and rode it straight to Tiandou City.
Tianmeng lazily lay in the spiritual world, watching as Shen Hanyu absorbed more than 40% of the energy she had sealed away, and nodded in satisfaction.
The remaining energy is enough to allow Shen Hanyu's cultivation to surge once again. Its accumulation over nearly a million years is already priceless, enough to create a true history.
Shen Hanyu was also considering this matter. After thinking for a long time, he finally asked in his spiritual sea:
"Tianmeng, is it difficult for you to truly break through to the million-year level now?"
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng thought about it carefully for a moment, and then said seriously:
"My energy and mental strength are already more than enough, I just need a trigger, a trigger that will allow me to truly transform."
Shen Hanyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked:
"What if you absorbed a portion of the ice-attribute divine power? Are you confident you could break through?"
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng was taken aback, then nodded repeatedly in her sea of consciousness, saying:
"Stop talking! If we had that, forget about breaking through a million years, I believe I'd be able to swagger back to the far north and officially make Bingbing my wife..."
A smile appeared on Shen Hanyu's lips, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart.
As for the Ice and Fire Dragon King's opinion, Shen Hanyu was still quite confident.
In this era, both of them should still be relatively conscious, and have not completely dissipated into the river of time.
The two of them harbored deep hatred for the gods and desperately wanted to rebuild the glory of the dragon and soul beast races. Their loyalty to their faith would make the choice for them, and he only needed to work on that aspect. He had plenty of resources and means to persuade them.
He maintains a neutral stance towards the Soul Beast race. If the Soul Beast race is willing to support him, he will not indiscriminately kill innocents, and may even provide them with some assistance before and after becoming a god. However, if not, he does not mind slaughtering the entire Star Dou Great Forest in the future to obtain life energy to break through the barrier after becoming a Limit Douluo.
As dusk settled and a gentle breeze blew, the orange sunset glow fell upon Shen Hanyu, giving him an indescribable air of high spirits.
Shen Hanyu gazed at the horizon, and finally could only whisper a prayer:
"Hopefully tomorrow will be better..."
