557: Chapter 557 Departure from the Abyss of Time!

In the time that followed...

Li Fan and Gu Ling chatted a lot about their past on Blue Star, and also touched upon how many children they would have in the future.

All in all, the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.

For Gu Ling...

She wished time could be frozen forever at this moment.

However...

Happy times are always fleeting.

Tomorrow morning, Li Fan would be setting off for the Cosmic Abyss.

So, as night fell...

Li Fan had to bid them farewell.

...

Nightfall.

Li Fan immediately set out on his journey back to the Cosmic Cloud Headquarters.

By the time Li Fan arrived at the headquarters, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

After Li Fan rested in his manor for a short while, the day had fully dawned.

Soon...

Li Fan saw an incredibly massive spaceship sailing into the starry sky of the training area.

"Assemble!"

As a terrifying Dao-sound rang out...

Students from all the major projects grew excited and began to gather toward the spaceship together.

That's right.

They were finally going to the Cosmic Abyss!

They had been so eager for this day to arrive!

While the other Students were heading over...

Li Fan didn't hesitate for a moment either, stepping directly toward the spaceship.

Tai Fang was still the leader for this trip to the Cosmic Abyss.

As Tai Fang looked at the excited faces of the Students, his expression showed nothing on the surface, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Because he felt the Students seemed a bit too excited.

He worried that the Students didn't realize one thing.

And that was, this trip to the Cosmic Abyss wasn't some trial or a lifestyle change, but pure slaughter!

Going there this time, most of them would likely never return.

However, he didn't really want to tell the Students this right now.

The Students' morale was currently at its peak.

Saying such things would truly damage their spirits.

And soon...

Before long, Students from all the major projects had entered the spaceship and completed their assembly on the deck.

Following an impassioned speech by Tai Fang...

The spaceship pierced through the starry sky, turning into a streak of light that instantly disappeared into the distant horizon.

And on the other side...

If one had a God's-eye view, they could clearly see...

Spaceships were currently darting out from every major power across the entire universe, all heading toward the Cosmic Abyss.

Just like the Cosmic Cloud Company's spaceship, these vessels were all carrying their own geniuses.

For these geniuses...

This trip to the Cosmic Abyss would be an unforgettable experience in their lives.

And it wasn't just on This Universe's side.

Over in the Alien Universe...

The same scene was playing out.

If there was any difference, it was the mental state of the younger generation from the two universes.

The younger generation from the Alien Universe mostly had solemn expressions, with very little joy to be seen on their faces.

...

Cosmic Abyss.

Tiancheng Defense Line.

Inside a meeting room of an ancient border fortress.

"By my count, the new batch of the younger generation should be setting off soon. If they're lucky, they might make it in time for the Spiritual Treasure Tide about to occur in the Pure Land Zone."

"Indeed, if they can make it, this batch's strength could increase significantly in a short period of time."

"I've heard there are a few good seedlings among this batch of the younger generation."

"Yes, that one named Li Fan is very good. I've looked over some of his battle records and data."

"More than just good, he's exceptionally good! To be able to comprehend a wisp of the Power of the Law of Time at the Domain Lord level—even that old man Wang Qiong wasn't this heaven-defying back then!"

...

Nine figures were currently chatting in the meeting room.

From the murderous aura emanating from them, it was clear that these nine figures were all battle-hardened super-warriors.

And indeed, this city and the surrounding defense line were primarily guarded by the teams led by these nine!

This city was also the closest to the Pure Land Zone and the mandatory path to get there!

Now, they were quite expectant of the arriving new batch of the younger generation—or rather, they were very expectant of Li Fan.

...

Back to Li Fan's side.

Aboard the spaceship.

Li Fan was chatting with Golden Flash Bear, Peng Song, and the others in the spaceship's leisure area.

Actually, they weren't chatting much.

He was purely dealing with their praises.

Once he was done with that, they moved on to the main topic: the situation in the Cosmic Abyss.

Compared to Peng Song and the others, Li Fan had previously had a brief chat with those few from the Supreme Council, so he had a better understanding of the situation in the Cosmic Abyss.

"Pure Land Zone? Is that where we're going?"

"It sounds quite like a secret realm or something?"

Hearing Li Fan's introduction, they all looked curious.

"Then Brother Fan, what exactly is the situation in that Pure Land Zone?"

At this moment, Peng Song continued to press for more information.

Regarding this question, Li Fan scratched his head, looking troubled.

In truth, he wasn't entirely sure about the specific situation of the Pure Land Zone either.

He only knew it was a continent containing many opportunities while also being full of danger, where they would need to fight against the geniuses of the Alien Universe.

Just as Li Fan didn't know how to explain it to Peng Song and the others...

A voice slowly rang out from not far away.

"I'll be the one to explain."

Turning around to look...

It was Han Luo.

Beside Han Luo stood Yun Yang and Sang Yuening.

It was clear...

That the auras of the three were much stronger compared to when they were at the grand gala.
