Chapter 80 Going Back to Be a Dad

To say it without exaggeration, if the Great Freedom Universe Teleportation Array were left for Li Sitan and his team to study slowly, even just the scattered runes alone would likely cause the entire League of Blades' rune level to experience a qualitative leap. This could be considered Old Wang's parting gift to Li Sitan. If he really did return to Earth this time, Li Sitan would find this most precious gift when he entered the meditation room.

There was no way around it; the Great Freedom Universe Teleportation Array only used up to Sixth Order runes. It wasn't that Old Wang didn't want to leave something more advanced for Li Sitan; rather, he simply couldn’t obtain the materials for higher-order runes.

Old Wang proceeded methodically, carrying a large bucket of flowing silver from the outermost part of the meditation room to the innermost part. He sprinkled a bit of dragon bone powder on the completed sections. This substance had a magical reaction with the secret gold and silver fluids, not only solidifying them instantly into a perfect form but also enhancing the flow of soul power through the material.

Setting up a teleportation array was no small feat. Even with Old Wang’s skill, it took him two full hours. The floor of the ten-square-meter meditation room was now covered with the boundary array diagrams he had drawn.

With the structure complete, he placed the Grade α4 soul crystals at various nodes of the array. The teleportation array slowly activated under the influence of the soul crystals, as faint streams of light flowed out of them, connecting along the lines of the array, casting the room in a silver glow.

Just one last step remained.

He took out the token, held it in his hand, and activated it with soul power. The entire teleportation array seemed to sense the presence of the token, as points of light rose from the ground, converging on the token, making its originally black surface crystalline and translucent.

It worked.

Old Wang let out a long breath. The teleportation array and the token were now connected, ready for teleportation at any moment.

He carefully estimated that, based on the array's reactions, it matched the expected effects. The energy reserve of the teleportation array should last about two hours. Of course, this was just an estimate, and there would likely be some margin of error during actual operation.

If he could return to Earth, everything would be fine. But if he were teleported to some unknown place, he would have to keep a close eye on the time. Otherwise, if the energy ran out while he was trapped somewhere dangerous or even in a spatial rift, it would be truly terrible.

Everything was prepared. Looking at the completed work, Old Wang couldn't help feeling a bit sentimental.

The hard days were finally coming to an end. If this attempt succeeded, it would be perfect.

He could finally escape the damned slave master Karida, the damned blue sky, and the damned... well, Yin Fu was still nice, hoping she stays healthy. Old Li should live a long life. Axi, though a bit silly, was still a good kid, hoping he finds true love soon...

Since coming here, he had experienced many things he never had before.

It was said that dreams and imagination might be projections of parallel spaces. Was it he who influenced this world, or was it this world influencing his thoughts? While waiting for the dragon bone powder these past few days, Old Wang had thought about such questions a lot, but now that the moment had arrived, they no longer mattered.

No regrets, he was going back to Earth to be a father!

Old Wang took a deep breath and recited the accompanying incantation.

The token shone, and countless streams of light slowly rose from the teleportation array, revolving around Old Wang as the center of the Great Freedom Universe Teleportation Array.

At first, he could still see the traces of light rotating, but the speed increased rapidly, soon becoming a seemingly static plane around him.

Old Wang knew that the teleportation gate had opened, and he had entered the mysterious teleportation space.

This was a world indescribable, seemingly empty yet filled, with countless specks of light and alternating black and white streams surrounding the entire space.

It was completely different from the teleportation sensation in Yujiutian. That was child's play, while this was a grand miracle. Is the end of science theology?

Old Wang somewhat believed it. At this moment, Wang Feng deeply felt that he was possibly in the legendary Fifth Dimension, the soul dimension.

Energy immediately diffused from the token, forming a protective barrier like a halo around him, ensuring that his body and soul wouldn't be forcibly separated during the teleportation.

Simultaneously, a circular scale began ticking around him. In the blink of an eye, it had already moved a fifth of the way. When the entire cycle was complete, if Old Wang hadn't chosen a coordinate, he would be randomly teleported.

Old Wang couldn't delay anymore. He was just an ordinary person, lacking the enlightenment to die after gaining knowledge. He gathered his spirit, opened his eyes wide, and searched the static space around him.

Countless specks of light dotted the flat space, numbering tens of thousands. Some were larger, some smaller, each representing a physical coordinate in the real world and a potential landing point. But they all looked too ordinary, none resembling the path back to Earth. Old Wang didn't want to spend hundreds of thousands of euros to end up in someone's bathhouse.

Earth, Earth... it was absolutely unique.

The existence of the soul must have a source. His soul...

Perhaps his silent prayers had worked. Old Wang felt a "thread" connecting his body, leading him to see it!

A massive, sun-like point of light attracted him, evoking a strong sense of belonging!

Old Wang's heart raced with excitement!

Yes, he vaguely remembered that when he crossed the explosion in Yujiutian, his soul was sucked into something like this.

That was it, that was the coordinate, the coordinate of Earth!

Old Wang's heart swelled with joy as he raised the token high, like a sail guiding direction in the sea. As long as the token touched there, he could go home!

Charge!

Closer, even closer!

Wait...

As the 'sun coordinate' came within reach, the token suddenly trembled.

Old Wang felt a powerful force suddenly bind and pull him. In panic, he glanced around.

The circular scale representing the time limit in the soul space had completed its cycle!

Random teleportation!

Damn...

Cold mountains, tranquil valleys.

A thin stream flowed through the valley, its gentle sound soothing and peaceful, creating a serene atmosphere.

This should have been a tranquil haven, but it was disrupted by the sounds of battle.

A dozen warriors, maintaining formation, rushed out from the valley's turn. They wore neat Holy Sanctuary uniforms, all around eighteen or nineteen years old. Despite their rapid advance, they maintained a complete circle formation, showing their well-trained discipline. Clearly, this was an elite squad from the League of Blades, but their faces betrayed undeniable fear.

"The two experts couldn't hold it back; it's catching up!" someone shouted nervously.

As the words fell, a series of 'pattering' sounds echoed from the valley's turn, and a massive shadow burst out like a gust of wind.

It had the face of an exquisite woman, but its body was a dark mass, seemingly solid yet also an energy form that could change at will. At this moment, it transformed into a quadrupedal beast, running at incredible speed. With a slight push off the ground, it leaped several meters high and pounced up the slope of the valley. The energy form quickly adapted to the changing environment, forming five fingers like gecko suction cups that held its body firmly against the mountain wall.

The demon beast paused as if toying with its fleeing prey, emitting a joyful cry. Then, like a cat playing with a mouse, it swooped down toward the formation of a dozen warriors!

"Shield formation! Shield formation!"

"Exorcists, cast protective blessings!"

"Wizards, use lightning spells! Succubi are half-energy, half-solid; focus all your soul power!"

The succubus moved incredibly fast, but with a few urgent commands, the warriors' formation swiftly responded.

Seven warriors raised shields taller than a man and half as wide, forming a shield wall that immediately surrounded everyone, creating a complete circular defense. Two exorcists chanted incantations, and a glow like silver plating strengthened the shield wall, making it seem impenetrable. In the center of the formation, the wizards raised their staves, protected by the warriors, and launched a barrage of lightning bolts toward the succubus.

Swift reactions and formations, but unfortunately, their opponent was not on the same level.

Everyone saw the succubus flicker in mid-dive, then vanish like a shadow from their sight. Before they could react, the black silhouette reversed direction, evading all attacks and circling around the shield wall, rolling overhead.

At the same time, long, tentacle-like appendages extended from its body, reaching simultaneously for the wizards at the center of the formation.

The warriors guarded the surroundings, but not the sky above. The wizards were caught off guard and lifted up. The moment the tentacles touched them, their bodies stiffened, eyes wide open, as streams of energy were extracted from their bodies through the energy tentacles, absorbed into the succubus.

The wizards' flesh rapidly withered, and the succubus emitted a joyful cry, its energy form becoming more solid, radiating blue light.

Others tried to attack it to rescue their comrades, but the succubus had already flipped in the air, evading various attacks. Several desiccated corpses fell from the sky, landing among the crowd, crumbling like lime, leaving no intact remains.

It seemed stronger than before... faster, even the rate at which it absorbed soul power was much quicker!

Despair filled the eyes of everyone, but they did not give up. True Holy Sanctuary warriors never give up, no matter the circumstances.

"Cover the prince's escape!" someone roared madly: "This succubus has evolved to near-dragon level; staying here means certain death!"

Demon beasts have different tiers: insect, wolf, tiger, ghost, dragon, and god, ascending in order.

Dragon level is capable of slaughtering entire cities, far beyond the capabilities of a small Holy Sanctuary team to combat.

"Prince, leave now!"
