Chapter 379 A Narrow Return, the Scepter Can Be Godlike

Chapter 379 A Narrow Return, the Scepter Can Be Godlike

After a full five minutes of teleportation, Jiang Chen and Situ Yu finally returned to the human world.

Everything was not yet fully clear, but the familiar atmosphere had already reached their hearts.

In the instant their vision returned, they saw Situ Liang, Situ Li, and another person Jiang Chen didn't recognize—Situ Zhan.

Father!

Situ Yu rushed into Situ Liang's arms with a joyful cry.

Tears streamed down her face. "I thought I'd never see you again." Situ Liang gently patted his daughter's back. "It's alright, it's alright."

The return of his living, breathing daughter to his side brought him immense joy as a father.

For more than a month, Situ Liang's mood has been ashen.

Faced with threats to his family and the possibility that his daughter might never return, he was under immense double pressure and was on the verge of collapse.

Even if he is a god-level powerhouse, even if he is a king, he is first and foremost a human being, and even more so, a father.

Jiang Chen's gaze turned slightly cold. "This time, your Situ family needs to give me an explanation."

Although Situ Yu returned safely, the matter was not over.

He almost lost his life because of this; if it weren't for a stroke of luck, the outcome might have been completely different.

This incident will not end here. Jiang Chen is not the kind of person who is magnanimous.

Although he owed someone a favor, how could a favor be compared to life?

He has already brought Situ Yu back safely, and the other party's favor has long been repaid.

Hearing Jiang Chen's somewhat cold words, Situ Liang understood that the mistake was on his side.

He immediately stated, "It was indeed our Situ family's fault in this matter, which almost led to Jiang Shenjiang's death. Jiang Shenjiang, rest assured, we will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. At the same time, we will also provide sufficient compensation."

Jiang Chen wasn't overly forceful; Situ Liang's statement made him realize that the other party was sincere in resolving the issue.

With the family crisis resolved and Situ Yu returning safely, both Situ Li and Situ Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Situ Li chuckled lightly, "General Jiang, your sister has been waiting outside the palace for over a month. Would you like to go and see her?"

"My sister is here? Where is she?"

After returning to the ground via the teleportation array, Situ Liang said, "The teleportation array leading to the outside of the palace has been destroyed by your sister. Should I take Jiang Shenjiang and fly there?"

"No, I'll go by myself."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, the Wings of Lightning unfurled with a whoosh, carrying him into the air.

After determining the direction, Jiang Chen could already sense Jiang Ruo's presence.

Lightning Wings trembled slightly, and its body shot away like lightning.

After Jiang Chen left, Situ Liang said, "This time it's a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune. Yu'er has returned safely, and the family's crisis has been resolved."

Situ Li said softly, "This is the first time in over a thousand years since the founding of the Divine Dragon Empire that my Eastern Clan has encountered such a calamity. We are truly ashamed before our ancestors."

Situ Zhan shook his head and sighed softly, "It's because we're useless."

Situ Yu watched the three of them talking like they were performing a play, one after another, completely bewildered and unaware of what was going on.

Situ Liang pulled her along, "Yu'er, tell me in detail what happened in the 'Corpse Realm' over the past month."

Situ Li was also extremely curious, "Although General Jiang is powerful, he's only invincible among those of the same level. There are many powerful beings in the 'Corpse Realm,' especially in the central area. How did you manage to get back?"

Situ Yu said "Oh" and slowly recounted her experiences in the "Corpse World".

...

Outside the palace, Jiang Chen appeared beside Jiang Ruo like lightning.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Jiang Ruo's beautiful face immediately lit up with a smile, and she hugged him tightly. Tears streamed down her face instantly, "Little Chen, I knew you'd be alright."

Jiang Chen laughed, "Of course I'll be fine. How would my sister know I'd been trapped in the 'Corpse Realm'?"

Jiang Chen could guess why Jiang Ruohui had been waiting outside the palace for over a month.

Jiang Ruo shook her head. "I don't know anything about the 'Corpse Realm.' My teacher predicted you might be in danger, so he had me guard outside the palace."

Jiang Ruo recounted the whole story.

It turned out that Jiang Ruo's teacher had foreseen that she was in danger and had specially sent Jiang Ruo to guard outside the palace.

As for how to specifically abide by the law, no explanation was given; it was all up to Jiang Ruo to decide.

Unexpectedly, my older sister did something so domineering.

Jiang Ruo said, "In the past month or so, some members of the Situ family have tried to escape, but I've driven them all back." Jiang Chen laughed and said, "If something really happens to me, sister, are you really planning to slaughter the Situ family?"

Jiang Ruo snorted lightly, "Of course. Not only will I take action, but Xiao Chen's teachers will too."

The Situ family has had a tough time for the past month or so, with a constant sense of impending doom hanging over them.

Ao Shen's murderous aura never dissipated, and it even seemed to grow stronger over time.

The feeling among members of the royal family was that a knife was getting closer and closer to their necks.

Jiang Chen also learned that during the time he was trapped in the "corpse world," his family had done a lot for him.

They are prepared to fight a major battle with the Situ family for their own benefit.

Regardless of the outcome, this battle will undoubtedly be an earth-shattering one.

As a royal family, the Situ family must have many subordinates. With their gathering of friends and acquaintances, who knows how many god-level experts they might summon?

Li Xueru and his two companions also had friends and connections within the military.

If war breaks out, the entire empire could be shattered.

Jiang Chen then realized that, unknowingly, his life and death had become intertwined with the survival of the empire.

Jiang Ruo said, "I'm relieved that Xiao Chen is alright. Xiao Chen, go back and see your teachers. They must be very worried."

Jiang Chen asked softly, "What about my sister?"

Jiang Ruo chuckled, "Sister's going back to level up too, it's been a month since I last leveled up. The teacher's plans have been disrupted, he's probably furious."

With a hint of mischief in her smile, Jiang Chen could tell that Jiang Ruo was in a good mood because he had returned safely.

She spoke of her teacher in a very relaxed tone, indicating that her teacher treated her very well.

Jiang Chen nodded. "When will you be free, sister?"

Jiang Ruo thought for a moment, "Although he never said it, I can guess that it will probably be after he reaches the God level."

I didn't expect that person's requirements to be so high.

However, judging from Jiang Chen's current leveling speed, it seems that reaching the god level is not too far away.

In less than two years, I went from job change to level 70 and completed the third job change.

This speed is probably unprecedented, and even I might not be able to catch up with it.

In the palace, Situ Yu recounted in detail what had happened in the "Corpse World" over the past month.

When Situ Yu recalled how panicked he was when he first entered the "Corpse Realm," while Jiang Chen remained incredibly calm and even conducted experiments on the corpses, he felt somewhat ashamed.

The two performed so differently.

Later, it even absorbed lightning and entered a magical realm.

Although Situ Yu didn't know what kind of secret realm it was, the whole process was magical.

I never imagined that there would be such a vibrant secret realm in the "corpse world".

Until the final battle, when Situ Yu activated the barrier with all his might, few people paid attention.

Judging from the casualties suffered by the undead army, this battle was truly extremely fierce.

Situ Li pondered, "Jiang Chen is far too calm; he's beyond the reach of ordinary people."

“Its mental fortitude is incredibly strong, especially in the final central area; I can imagine what level of opponent it faced.”

“Even we might not be able to escape unscathed,” Situ Liang asked. “Yu’er, what does that intangible little staff you mentioned look like? Can you draw it?”

Situ Yu nodded and immediately took out paper and pen to draw.

Her drawing skills are quite good; she has clearly studied painting.

The Scepter of Creation is depicted with remarkable realism in her writing.

The group gasped as they looked at the Creation Scepter drawn by Situ Yu.

Situ Liang could not hide his shock. "It's actually the Creation Scepter."

"Unexpectedly, the Creation Scepter, the root of the great war back then, has reappeared."

The Situ family guards the "Corpse Realm" and knows some of the inside story of that great battle back then.

They also understood the key to the inheritance of the God of Life and the Creation Scepter.

Looking at the painting, Situ Li suddenly whispered, "There's nothing on the Creation Scepter? Did Yao'er not finish the painting?"

Situ Yu said, "It's fully drawn; there's really nothing on the scepter."

Situ Li said in a deep voice, "It seems the Creation Scepter is damaged, and the life core is missing."

"Without the life core, the Scepter of Creation is useless; only when the two are combined can it function."

Situ Yu asked, "What exactly is the purpose of the Creation Scepter?"

Situ Liang chuckled, "There's a chance to become a god."

"Ah!" Situ Yu covered her mouth, too shocked to speak!
