Chapter 534: Chapter 524: Just Pawns! The Disappearance of the Coordinates!

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Yun and An Daoshan were stunned. It was the first time they heard the Lord say such things. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The implication of the Lord’s words was that he was seeking their opinion.

In the past, the missions given by the Lord were delivered as "orders" without a second choice.

After hearing this, only Lu Chen’s expression remained serious. Among the three, he was the first to follow the Lord and had been by his side for a long, long time, understanding the Lord’s temperament well.

When the Lord said such words, it meant that this mission was definitely a death sentence.

However, what comforted Lu Chen was that the Lord, considering their years of loyalty, surprisingly gave them a choice.

"Lord, let me handle this mission alone."

Lu Chen stood up and spoke to the Chaotic Human Shadow.

Just as Yuan Yun and An Daoshan were about to stand up, Lu Chen pressed their shoulders, keeping them down.

At these words, the Chaotic Human Shadow fell silent.

"Have you thought it through?" The voice of the Chaotic Human Shadow echoed.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yun and An Daoshan were rooted to their spots. Even if they were fools, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to miss the implication of these words.

The mission the Lord assigned them was most likely a death sentence, a journey with no return.

In their view, compared to others under the Lord’s command, the three of them were considered the "inner circle" and received the Lord’s attention.

Therefore, in the Lord’s eyes, others were mere pawns, while they were the Lord’s "followers."

This time, they guessed the mission was to use the three of them as pawns to personally "test" that River Guardian.

"Testing" meant inevitable death, as none of the "pawns" the Lord sent out in the past ever returned.

Comforted by this, the three were glad that the Lord gave them a choice, indicating that the Lord valued them...

Thinking of this, Yuan Yun and An Daoshan stood up without hesitation and said, "Lord, we three guarantee the successful completion of this mission, and we won’t let you down."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Chen shouted at them, "You two, don’t drag me down. Get lost, I can handle it alone!"

In response, the two laughed and said, "Brother, do you really think you can sway our decision? We are resolute, even you can’t change our minds."

After speaking, Lu Chen looked at the two, silent for a long time.

Finally, Lu Chen looked at the Lord and slowly said, "Lord, I have a request... if possible, I hope you can look after An Ran and Yuan Keke, not seeking favor, but just to keep them safe."

An Ran and Yuan Keke were An Daoshan and Yuan Yun’s only family in the world.

Lu Chen, having lived a solitary life, had no friends or family left and was unencumbered. To follow the Lord to this point, he was without regrets.

So, Lu Chen wanted to at least leave some memory for his second and third brothers.

Hearing these words, Yuan Yun and An Daoshan looked at their eldest brother, unable to regain their composure for a long time....

.....

"I promise you." A mysterious voice came.

After getting this response.

The three left the Chaos Space, resolute and ready to face death, with nothing else in their hearts.

.....

After Lu Chen and the others left, another Chaotic Human Shadow appeared.

He said mockingly, "I thought everyone was a pawn in your eyes."

After speaking, this Chaotic Human Shadow, emotionless, calmly said, "They’re all pawns, including these three."

Hearing this, the other Chaotic Human Shadow was visibly taken aback and continued to ask, "If they chose life, would you let them go?"

"No." This Chaotic Human Shadow answered without hesitation, "If they were unwilling to be my pawns and face death, I would have killed them immediately."

"Then what about their sisters? How will you handle them?"

"They will become new pawns."

After hearing this, the other figure was stunned for a long time before slowly saying, "You really are a cold and heartless person."

Upon hearing this, the Chaotic Human Shadow laughed, "Cold and heartless? Didn’t expect to hear such lowly and vulgar words from you."

"Emotions are a mere troublesome quality of ordinary creatures."

Upon saying this.

The other Chaotic Human Shadow also fell silent for a long time, slowly responding, "On this point, I agree with you."

....

"Let’s return to business."

"If this link breaks, how will you handle it?"

"You must think it over clearly, this major game is jointly played by the three of us, not just you alone."

"If something goes wrong on your end, our alliance probably won’t have any reason to continue."

The other Chaotic Human Shadow questioned, with a noticeable hint of displeasure in his tone.

"I will handle it." The Chaotic Human Shadow replied.

"There isn’t much time left... I hope you can deal with it cleanly. You should be quite aware of the consequences if it affects the bigger picture." The other Chaotic Human Shadow said slowly.

"How’s it going on your side...."

"There was a small mishap, but everything is under control." Speaking of this, the other Chaotic Human Shadow thought of something and continued to ask, "There’s one question I’ve always been puzzled by..."

"What question?"

"Since he appeared on the River of Time, he never left it. Why are there so many followers and supporters among the Ten Thousand Realms?"

"The most crucial point is that these followers, each of them carries extraordinary destiny, and they are all loyal, willing to die rather than compromise...."

After hearing this, the Chaotic Human Shadow remained silent for a long time, feeling a bit jealous, sighing quietly, "I can’t see through it either....."

Although he commanded a significant number of followers, each quite commendable, these followers had consumed substantial effort to cultivate, enduring countless years to obtain such excellent pawns.

Yet, that River Guardian, having arrived at the River of Time for such a short period, had already fostered substantial potential "followers" whose strength was not inferior to his "pawns."

Due to "his" arrival, the entire structure of the Ten Thousand Realms was quietly undergoing earth-shattering changes....

"Have you found the ’Coordinates’?"

The Chaotic Human Shadow recalled something important, asking the other Chaotic Human Shadow.

"Not yet....."

"Didn’t you say you had deduced a trace?"

"Indeed, it was deduced, but recently, the trace of the ’Coordinates’ suddenly vanished..."

"Vanished? Could it be dead?"

"Is your mind muddled? How could the ’Coordinates’ die??"

......
