Chapter 165
Not long after Ye Yu and Wan Jiangui left, Ye Yu suddenly smacked his forehead.

"I forgot to dig out the crystal from Gao Yiheng, that traitor. It's also a Level Seven crystal, and it would have been very useful for you, Jian Gui."

Could Wan Jiangui refuse? But he held no hope. If you were willing to give me good crystals, I wouldn't have advanced to Level Seven with the help of Chen Xianren.

Alas, if you had been willing to give them to me, I might have considered not betraying you.

The two ran back, only to see a figure holding a corpse, slowly disappearing.

Ye Yu had excellent eyesight and could barely recognize Chen Luo. The corpse could only be Gao Yiheng.

Ye Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, my judgment was indeed correct."

But Ye Yu didn't dare to snatch Gao Yiheng's body back from Chen Luo.

Chen Luo noticed Ye Yu and the other returning. He originally wanted to disappear directly, but after thinking about it, not disappearing would better protect Wan Jiangui.

Would Ye Yu dare to point at him and curse?

Seeing Ye Yu leave unwillingly, worried that Gao Yiheng would kick the bucket any second, Chen Luo instantly used Void Walk to go to the Jin Yuan River base.

Chen Luo cherished talent. He had even accepted Gu Changfeng, so why not give Gao Yiheng a try?

Moreover, Chen Luo also had a conscience and felt uneasy seeing Gao Yiheng in such a miserable state.

Chen Luo shouted, "Where are the Light-type users? Come here."

Each branch base had at least thirty Light-type users.

Soon, the Light-type users stationed at the base ran over.

Leading them was a tall girl.

Chen Luo remembered her name was Gao Yue. She had joined the base a long time ago.

Jin Yuanjiang smiled and said, "Leader, Gao Yue advanced to Level Seven yesterday."

Chen Luo praised, "Is that so? Very good."

Chen Luo wasn't surprised that Gao Yue reached Level Seven. The Light-type users received very good treatment, with crystals in abundance. From the early days of the apocalypse until now, the supply of crystals had never been cut off. Others couldn't compare.

Gao Yue was flattered and said, "It's all thanks to the Leader's cultivation."

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Quickly heal this person and try your best to save him."

Gao Yue nodded, and the Light-type ability in her body transformed into water droplets, constantly entering Gao Yiheng's body.

Chen Luo couldn't help but take a second look at Gao Yue. Her talent was good, able to master the power of the Source of Life.

Two minutes later, Gao Yue's face was a little pale, and Gao Yiheng slowly opened his eyes.

Chen Luo said, "You can go now."

Gao Yiheng had been rescued, but he was still very weak. He asked in disbelief, "I'm not dead?"

Gao Yiheng saw Chen Luo and asked incomprehensibly, "You saved me? How is that possible?"

Chen Luo smiled faintly, "Ye Yu wanted to dig out your crystal. I couldn't bear to see you like that, so I took action and snatched you back. Seeing that you still had a breath left, I saved you."

Gao Yiheng's expression changed. He never thought Chen Luo would save him.

What made him even sadder was that Ye Yu wanted to crack open his skull.

Gao Yiheng said hoarsely, "Why did you save me? I don't believe you're so kind."

Chen Luo shook his head, "At first, I just wanted to bury you so you could have a proper burial after death. Seeing that you had a breath left, of course, I had to bring you back."

"As for why I saved you, you can be considered a talent with good potential. I want you to contribute to humanity."

"Everything I do is for the sake of humanity's continuation. Believe it or not, I'll give you two choices."

"First, join me here. Observe for yourself whether what I say is true. As for whether you'll work for me, you can decide after observing. Second, commit suicide."

Chen Luo couldn't let Gao Yiheng leave here freely.

After speaking, Chen Luo left Gao Yiheng alone to consider. It would be best if he joined, but if not, it wouldn't make much difference.

Chen Luo couldn't possibly beg him.

Even if he joined, Chen Luo would have to observe him first and have Mifan make a judgement.

Chen Luo came to his room in the branch base. Each branch base had a room prepared for Chen Luo.

Chen Luo sat on the sofa, took out the King-level crystal, and began to absorb it.

His body had been hungry for a long time, and it had been a while since he had absorbed a crystal. Level Six crystals were useless to Chen Luo.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Luo exhaled contentedly.

In a short time, nearly one-sixth of the King-level crystal had been absorbed. Because his body was hungry, he absorbed a little more than usual. In a week, he could absorb the entire King-level crystal.

Even if others obtained it, it would take at least a month.

Once fully absorbed, Chen Luo could reach the high stage of Level Ten.

Each level had different stages, but it didn't produce a qualitative change.

For example, Gao Yue was only at the initial stage of Level Seven. If Gao Yue's combat talent wasn't exceptionally outstanding, she wouldn't be able to defeat an ordinary peak Level Seven.

At the high stage, Chen Luo's Void Walk would reach nearly three thousand li, increasing the distance of Void Walk by half.

Looking at the crystal in his hand, Chen Luo sighed.

"Actually, I didn't want to, but for the sake of humanity, I can only apologize to you, Ye Yu."

Ye Yu's talent was very high, and he would be in the top five among the future King-levels. Chen Luo inwardly hoped to take in Ye Yu.

But Chen Luo had to reach the King-level as soon as possible to complete his Trinity plan.

The longer it dragged on, the more King-levels there would be at sea. If he waited until a year later to reach the King-level, there would be countless King-levels in the sea.

At that time, even if he promoted Hai Ji as the Sea God, she wouldn't be able to hold the stage.

The Trinity plan was related to the continuation of humanity. Ye Yu had obtained a King-level crystal here, so he could only sacrifice Ye Yu.

Ye Yu would definitely be full of resentment towards him. When the time was right, he could only eliminate him.

Again, one more Ye Yu wouldn't make much of a difference, and one less wouldn't make much of a difference. Chen Luo reaching the King-level earlier was much stronger than Ye Yu.

Chen Luo said quietly, "For the sake of humanity, I can only sacrifice you, Ye Yu."

Chen Luo then laughed and spat, "Chen Luo, ah, Chen Luo, you're even deceiving yourself. Are you that noble?"

Wan Jiangui received a message from You Li: "Big Brother asked what you want to eat? He'll satisfy you as long as he can."

He had to reward Wan Jiangui properly. Chen Luo usually didn't give Wan Jiangui good food often because Wan Jiangui was by Ye Yu's side.

Wan Jiangui perked up and drooled, "I want to eat Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork), Gan Bian La Zi Ji (dry-fried spicy chicken), Mantis Shrimp, and Winter Melon Rib Soup."

Chen Luo said, "Tell him to wait tonight. I'll definitely satisfy him."

There was no ready-made mantis shrimp. Chen Luo made it himself, giving Wan Jiangui enough face.

The Void Monarch is personally cooking for you, how honored should you feel?

Actually, it's very simple, just boil the mantis shrimp in boiling water and it's ready to eat.

Anyone could do it.

When You Li heard this, he couldn't help but shout, "I've also made contributions, I want to eat too."

With You Li's brain, how could he not guess what happened?

Chen Luo said, "Next time, definitely next time, when I go to Xu Qing's place next time."

At six o'clock in the evening, Ye Yu returned to the base without any energy and said, "Jian Gui, let's have a good drink. I'll have them make some more dishes."

Wan Jiangui scoffed, what could you make?

Wan Jiangui said in a low voice, "No, Big Brother. After this incident, I'm too sad to eat anything."
