Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 422 Departure
Xu Shen also made sufficient preparations. He called Xia Jingxiang, Lou Haiyin, Xue Mei and others that night, entrusted the affairs of the city to them, and asked them to pay a little attention to the prison lord.
Xia Jingxiang wanted to follow Xu Shen, but was rejected. The trip was extremely dangerous and Xu Shen could not guarantee that he could take care of their safety.
"With your current status and position, there should be no need to take such risks, right?"
Xue Mei looked at Xu Shen in confusion, unable to understand why Xu Shen would do such a dangerous thing.
“This world will disappear sooner or later. There is no point in living till the last moment. It is better to find a new way in advance.” Xu Shen said. Many of the things he does nowadays are more inclined towards his own goals rather than just for survival.
If he just wanted to survive, even if the world disappeared, he could hide in the Ruins and continue to persevere, but that kind of "living" seemed meaningless to him.
"To become a god? Is there only one day to do it? But where should we live after becoming a god?" Xue Mei murmured to himself.
Xu Shen's heart moved. Xue Mei's unintentional words surprised him a little.
Where does God live?
The void? Or the world of ruins?
As if seeing Xu Shen's curiosity, Maeve beside him said softly: "God has no fixed residence, nor the concept of 'home'. God is everywhere. Perhaps the place God is interested in is God's home."
Having said this, she glanced at Xu Shen, her eyes as clear as lake water.
Xu Shen's heart moved slightly. This means that God can fly freely to any corner of the world, and wherever he stays is his home.
Maeve's home...is it next to me?
Xu Shen felt a little warm in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He said to Xia Jingxiang and the others: "If something happens to us on this trip, you should strive to cultivate and become gods. If you become gods, you can go to Pamira's hometown and take a look. Maybe you can see some surprises."
Xia Jingxiang hurriedly asked: "Lord, do you know any secrets? Will you be unable to return from this trip?"
"It's just the worst-case scenario." Xu Shen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. You are all kings now, and you are also the overlords of a region. You should have your own pursuits and lives. If you want to become a god, I have a sentence for you to comprehend. It is to give up the self. This is the way to become a god that I have come up with."
Xu Shen realized this path ten years ago, but "knowing" and "doing" are two different things.
Xu Shen felt that he was always lacking an opportunity and could not really find the door to "enter".
"Give up your self?"
Several people were stunned and looked at each other. Is this the way to become a god?
Soon, they realized what Xu Shen was talking about and couldn't help but widen their eyes, "You said you found a way to become a god?!"
"Yeah." Xu Shen nodded.
Although he has not yet verified it himself, with Maeve's words, it can be basically concluded that it is correct.
Several people gasped. Only when they reached the level of kings did they realize how elusive it was to become a god. Throughout the long history of mankind, there had only been a handful of human emperors. But Xu Shen in front of them had actually found the way to become the human emperor on his own.
They immediately realized how precious Xu Shen's words were. If they were to be spread out, other kings would be jealous.
But such top-secret information is also extremely dangerous.
Xu Shen did not announce it, mainly to prevent some people from finding the secret and even becoming a god ahead of Xu Shen.
Xu Shen had no way of guaranteeing how other people would treat him after becoming gods, so he could only pass it on to people he trusted and who had no vested interests or hatred towards him.
"Go ahead."
Xu Shen sent them away.
The looks of several people were complicated. Xu Shen handed over such a precious thing to them so easily, which made them feel inexplicable emotions.
At Xu Shen's urging , the few of them said goodbye with mixed feelings.
The next morning.
Outside the parliament hall, kings of various families arrived one after another. The seven major families, the original owner, Star Lord and others were all present.
Xu Shen rode out on his horse, looked at the fully armed people, couldn't help but smile, and then waved his hand and said: "Everyone is here, let's go, Xingjun, you lead the way, head north."
Xingjun had a strange look on his face, as if he was calling a dog.
The others also looked at Xing Jun, knowing that this king had special abilities and was extremely lucky. The strength of this ability could be seen from his resume. As an enemy who had fought with Xu Shen before, he is still alive today and is in a high position, enjoying all kinds of top treatments. It must be said that he is really very lucky.
Under the leadership of the Star God, everyone set out in a group without any solemn oath, just like a group of people going out for a picnic and a walk.
The star god walking in front seemed to be Xu Shen's groom, and the horse Xu Shen was riding was Pamela's horse Xu.
Xu Shen also brought it with him on this trip, as it could be used for both traveling and escaping.
The other kings had already heard about Xu Shen's control of the A-level ruins, and they were not surprised at the moment. They were just worried about his future fate.
Not long after, they left the inner city and arrived at a lower city in the north, Seabird City.
Xu Shen had just come here to help clear out the beasts in the ruins, so he was not unfamiliar with the place. However, he did not stay in Seabird City this time. Instead, he continued forward and walked to the wasteland on the other side of Seabird City.
Going further forward, there is an endless wasteland shrouded in fog.
The casual atmosphere in which everyone was originally chatting with each other suddenly became quiet.
Even a king cannot be careless in the wilderness, as some powerful shells are more terrifying than ruins.
The Star God walked and stopped, with a serious look on his face. From time to time, he used his ability to scout and predict the good or bad luck ahead.
Wait until you are sure there is no danger before continuing forward.
In this way, the group walked forward for half a day and were already thousands of miles away from the inner city. As they got farther and farther away from the inner city, they were getting closer and closer to the outer edge of the world, and they saw more and more shells on the road.
But most of the shells are not strong and wander around unconsciously.
"There is a ruin ahead."
Xingjun said.
This was not the first time he had sensed danger. He had already taken a lot of detours on the road before. Although the overall direction did not change, it had moved sideways a lot. It was only after Xu Shen inquired and learned that the danger intensity was only half that Xingjun stopped taking detours.
Through the consumption of Xu power and the intensity of the sensation, Xingjun determined that it was the same as the one he had encountered before, an A-level Xu.
He consumed very little force, mainly because the surrounding lineup was too powerful and the threat posed by an A-level Xu was extremely low.
Not long after, everyone saw the danger that the Star Lord had mentioned. It was a ghost that was seven or eight meters long, with a huge upper body and wearing a huge gray cloak. It was floating in the air, and there were some tattered and jagged strips underneath the cloak.
When everyone saw Xu, Xu also saw everyone. When it turned around with a strange smile on its face, it suddenly stopped laughing.
Then Xu floated forward rapidly and escaped.
Xu Shen and everyone else smiled upon seeing this. No one was chasing after them. It was impossible to kill all the enemies in Xu. There was no need to waste energy on it. After all, they were in the wilderness now and it was smart to conserve their strength.
The group did not change their route and continued forward in the direction the monster had escaped.
But not long after they walked, the escaped Xu suddenly floated back quickly and appeared in everyone's sight.
This time, the fear in Xu's eyes was even greater.
