Chapter 641 - 640: Back to Earth? Found You!
Chapter 641: Chapter 640: Back to Earth? Found You!
Chu Sheng opened his eyes.
A deafening roar, like a tractor, rumbled incessantly.
"What the fuck, construction on a weekend... Do they have any public decency?!"
He cursed subconsciously.
The moment the words left his mouth, he suddenly froze, realizing something was wrong.
That sound...
Chu Sheng leaped out of bed and looked down at his hands.
Fair and slender—they were human hands.
Not even bothering with shoes, he ran barefoot into the bathroom.
In the vanity mirror above the sink, the face of a handsome high school boy, around seventeen or eighteen, was clearly reflected.
His features were refined, with a hint of grogginess from just waking up.
Chu Sheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.
’Wait... what is happening to me?’
’Didn’t I turn into a mosquito?’
’And become the Contracted Beast of the reincarnated Empress, Gu Yuexi?’
’I got the protagonist’s script, got a system, and went on a killing spree.’
’How did I end up back here just from absorbing a false god?’
Chu Sheng frantically called out in his mind: ’System! System, are you there?’
For a long while, there was no response.
’Tongzi!’
’System?!’
’You goddamn dog of a system! Fucking say something!’
No matter how Chu Sheng yelled, there was no response.
He focused his will, trying to use [Boundless Wings].
Nothing happened.
’Could this be an Illusion Realm?’
Chu Sheng gritted his teeth and raised his sharp "claws"...
Oh no, they were fingers now. He swiped viciously through the air.
[Realm-Breaking Claw]!
Still no reaction.
He tried all his other Skills one by one.
Still nothing.
His body was that of a perfectly ordinary high school student, without a single trace of Spiritual Qi.
’Could it be... I’m dreaming?’
Chu Sheng closed his eyes and pinched the top of his thigh hard.
"HISS... That fucking hurts!"
Grimacing in pain, he quickly opened his eyes and looked at the vanity mirror again.
The person in the mirror was still just as handsome...
"Alright, so it really is a dream. A pretty realistic one, too..."
Chu Sheng sighed. ’As expected, it was just the fantasy of a loser.’
’Forget it. I should just go to school. The college entrance exams are coming up soon.’
And so, Chu Sheng continued to study for his exams, day after day...
The past filled with clashing spears and armored steeds, the past where he commanded the winds and clouds, the past as the National Guardian Divine Mosquito—all of it gradually faded from his mind.
「One month later.」
June 9th.
Afternoon.
The bell signaling the end of the final exam rang.
The college entrance exams were finally over.
Chu Sheng put down his pen and gave a long stretch.
Over the past month, he had completely gotten used to the life of an ordinary person.
"Old Chu, let’s go! If we’re any later, the internet cafe will be full! We have to pull an all-nighter tonight!"
His best friend, Li Zekai, rushed over to Chu Sheng’s desk with his backpack on, urging him on.
"You got it! Let’s roll!"
Chu Sheng laughed in agreement, grabbed his bag, and ran out of the examination hall with Li Zekai.
At the school gate, they each scanned and unlocked a shared electric scooter.
"No wonder no one’s riding the yellow ones. Their speed is nothing compared to the blue ones! They’re so sluggish!"
Li Zekai complained as he accelerated alongside him.
Chu Sheng laughed. "We’re lucky to find any scooters at this hour, and you’re still being picky..."
He hadn’t even finished his sentence.
The sky suddenly darkened without any warning.
"It’s raining, bring in the laundry!"
Some wise guy channeling Tang Monk shouted.
The words had barely faded.
And indeed, it began to "rain" from the sky.
But...
It was a rain of fire!!!
Countless massive fireballs, trailing long flaming tails, plummeted down without warning.
"BOOM!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the fireballs slammed into the ground, gouging out massive craters.
Then, the outer shells of the fireballs suddenly cracked open.
One by one, bizarre and ferocious-looking monsters crawled out from within.
They had sharp claws and fangs, killing any human on sight with bloodthirsty brutality.
Screams, cries, and explosions instantly intertwined.
The once-bustling street instantly became a hell on earth.
Chu Sheng stared blankly at the monsters, forgetting even to run.
Not because he was scared.
But because the appearance of these monsters was far too familiar to him!
They were none other than the Outer Realm Alien Race he had fought on Blue Star!
"Old Chu! What are you spacing out for?! Run!"
Seeing Chu Sheng standing there motionless, Li Zekai rushed over and pulled him hard.
He had just finished speaking.
A fireball landed not far in front of them.
With a "CRACK."
The fireball split open.
A dozen monsters with human torsos but giant insect heads crawled out.
Their crimson eyes scanned the surroundings, and upon seeing any living thing, they immediately pounced.
One of the monsters charged in Chu Sheng’s direction.
When it was less than a hundred meters from Chu Sheng, it suddenly stopped.
Then, it made a strange "GURGLE GURGLE" sound.
No one could understand what the monster was saying.
Only Chu Sheng understood.
"Found! You!"
...
"BZZZ..."
Chu Sheng’s eyes shot open.
The piercing cold and excruciating pain, as if his heart had just been run through, still lingered vividly in its senses.
’I’m not dead?’
It habitually tried to raise a hand to rub its temples.
And suddenly discovered.
What it raised was not a human hand at all.
But a long mosquito leg, covered in a black carapace that glinted with a cold light!!!
’What’s going on?’
Chu Sheng widened his compound eyes, rapidly scanning his surroundings.
It was floating in mid-air in the Xuan Yuan residence.
The big black dog was lying beside it, tail wagging listlessly as it vigilantly scanned the area.
Not far away, soldiers from the Military Department had set up a long cordon.
’I... I’m back again?’
Chu Sheng quickly checked its status.
The system panel displayed normally.
All its Skills were intact.
The master-servant contract with the big black dog still existed.
The surging power of the mid-stage Emperor Realm within its body felt incredibly real.
Everything confirmed that it had returned to Blue Star and become a mosquito again.
’Then... what in the world was all that just now?’
Chu Sheng frowned.
It suddenly remembered its blood shadow clone.
Back then, in Jing University’s Secret Realm Zero, it had sent a blood shadow clone back to Earth.
’Could it be that everything that just happened was the experience of my blood shadow clone?’
With a thought, Chu Sheng tried to summon the blood shadow clone again.
The next second.
A blood shadow clone, identical to it, appeared before it.
This undoubtedly proved that the blood shadow clone it had sent back to Earth was already dead.
’That’s not right!’ Chu Sheng grew even more confused.
’Doesn’t it say that as long as the main body is indestructible, the blood shadow clone cannot be destroyed?’
’Besides, the blood shadow clone is supposed to have at least one percent of the main body’s strength. How could it have become a powerless ordinary person?’
’Could it be... related to Earth’s environment?’
It wasn’t impossible.
After all, Blue Star had the Forbidden God Law set down by Immortal Venerable Shi Xi.
It would be perfectly normal for Earth to have some strange and mysterious things of its own.
If the recent experience was truly that of the blood shadow clone,
then everything that happened would make sense.
The blood shadow clone returned to Earth.
But due to the suppression of some unknown presence on Earth, it lost all its power.
The point in time it appeared was also the exact moment when Chu Sheng first transmigrated.
Then, the blood shadow clone lived on Earth for a month like an ordinary person.
As for why it only just received the blood shadow clone’s experiences from Earth now...
Chu Sheng guessed it was probably related to the profound Time Law.
If the above speculations were correct,
then there were two questions Chu Sheng couldn’t figure out.
First, the Alien Race’s invasion of Earth seemed to be specifically to find it.
Second, if it were to return to Earth next time, when would it be?
The only way to find the answers to these two questions would be to find a chance to return to Earth in the future.
