Rumble! Wang Chong’s formidable Psychic Energy instantly engulfed the region, throwing the air into turmoil. But to his surprise, Wang Chong was not able to find anything suspicious.

However, with this formidable Psychic Energy, after a few moments, he was finally able to notice something. Around eighty thousand feet away from the estate, there was an extremely furtive mental pulse, but a moment later, it disappeared.

“Hahaha, it seems that I really did underestimate you. But if you believed that all of this was an illusion, then you’re too naive!

“There’s no definite line between illusion and reality. Perhaps one day, what you think is an illusion will become reality.” A voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind, leaving behind lingering echoes, but the will behind it utterly vanished, as if it had never existed.

Wang Chong thoroughly scanned the surrounding area, but he was not able to find any trace.

Wang Chong knew that his foe had gone.

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy retracted back into his study, upon which Wang Chong stood up from his desk, slowly opening his eyes.

All was quiet in the study.

Everything maintained its original appearance. Even the report on the desk was still on the page he had just turned to.

It was like nothing had happened, and it had all been an illusion.

But Wang Chong knew that it wasn’t that simple.

Whew...

He once more scanned the area with Psychic Energy, and after ensuring that there were no hidden foes in the vicinity, he exhaled. His ruddy complexion instantly turned paper-white, and sweat erupted from his forehead, from behind his ears, and from his face and neck. It was like he had been accumulating sweat for a long time and was unleashing it all at the same moment.

Wang Chong appeared drained of mental and physical energy, and he no longer seemed so composed.

His foe’s strength was far more frightening than imagined!

That nightmarish illusion, that frenzied massacre from Berserker Syndrome, though it had not been real, was no mere illusion.

Only Wang Chong knew how great the burden on his mind and body had been. If Wang Chong had not noticed something off, he would have walked into his foe’s trap.

“Who was that? How could they have such high cultivation?”

Wang Chong narrowed his eyes, deep apprehension in his heart.

Wang Chong was no ordinary person. He had a firm resolve, and his Psychic Energy could manifest the Stellar Universe. He had even been able to defeat the High Priest of Arabia, and when it came to Psychic Energy, even someone as strong as Genesis Supreme could not gain any advantage.

Wang Chong was even so bold as to venture that he was number one in this field.

Upsetting his senses and infiltrating his mind, even creating such a realistic illusion, were not things an ordinary person could do.

No!

Across the world, no one should have been capable of this feat.

But with the flick of a finger, this mysterious assailant had succeeded, and done so without alarming a single person.

“Was it Essence Supreme?”

Wang Chong’s mind was in turmoil, and his mind instinctively turned to Essence Supreme.

One had to be at least at the level of a Supreme to pull off this feat, and amongst the Supremes of the Celestial God Organization, Essence Supreme was one he had yet to encounter.

But Wang Chong quickly shook his head and rejected the idea.

“No, it can’t be him! He wouldn’t have this level of cultivation!”

The Celestial God Organization had twelve Supremes, and each had their domain, their field of expertise. While there were undoubtedly differences between them, these wouldn’t be too significant.

Wang Chong had defeated Genesis Supreme and had clashed with Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme. These people were strong, but they weren’t so strong that they could infiltrate his mind without being noticed and pull him into an illusion.

Moreover, if Essence Supreme really had this ability, then he would have been facing three Supremes on his northern expedition, not two.

Wang Chong paced back and forth in his quiet study. Unwittingly, he walked up to the open window of his study as countless thoughts ran through his mind.

The number of people who could control his mind like this could be counted with his fingers. If it wasn’t Grand Supreme or Radiance Supreme, and if it wasn’t that Essence Supreme he had yet to meet, then there was only one other person.

“Heaven!”

As Wang Chong said this word, his expression turned grave.

Bang!

As he spoke that word, the air in the study became turbulent, space trembling as if it was unable to bear the weight of that word.

Wang Chong’s heart turned heavy.

After he had worn himself out to no avail, the one he was seeking had come right to his door. If there was someone in the world that could infiltrate his mind without any warning and take control of it, then one of these people would be Heaven, the highest leader of the Celestial God Organization.

As a powerful existence that had existed for countless epochs yet did not exist on any historical record, Heaven was probably far more powerful than anyone could imagine. Even the Sage Emperor had been extremely wary of Heaven.

Wang Chong had never imagined that when he was searching the whole world for traces of Heaven, Heaven would come to find him for this ‘meeting’.

Wang Chong’s mind continued to ponder what had happened.

He had finally found some trace of his foe, but he couldn’t bring himself to celebrate.

Just what is going on here?

Wang Chong recalled everything that had happened and Heaven’s parting words.

It was too real!

He couldn’t tell the difference between reality and illusion!

Though that brazen massacre had been nothing but a dream in the end, Wang Chong couldn’t help but feel that things weren’t that simple.

Moreover, Wang Chong’s intuition told him that Heaven was implying something in those parting words.

He seemed to know a secret about the Berserker Syndrome!

Why did Heaven know about it?

What was going on with the Berserker Syndrome?

Everything in the illusion had not been real, but would there be one day in which the Berserker Syndrome reached its apex and recreated that scene?

Wang Chong had many things to think about.

Bang!

As he was lost in thought, the study door opened and two people rushed in.

“Your Highness, what happened? Are you okay?”

“Your Highness, what happened?”

Old Eagle and the faceless man had returned, and looked concernedly at Wang Chong.

“I’m fine!”

Wang Chong had his back to them, not turning his head as he waved his hand.

“What time is it? How long was it since I had you leave?”

Old Eagle bowed and said, “It is the third quarter of the Si Period (9-11am). Master only just had us leave. It has only been a few seconds.” He and the faceless man exchanged surprised glances.

“I see.”

Wang Chong slightly frowned and said no more.

Old Eagle and the faceless man quickly departed, leaving Wang Chong with his thoughts.

He had believed that at least half a day had passed, not the several days that had seemingly passed in the illusion. But to his surprise, it had only been a few seconds, far shorter than he had imagined.

Heaven was far more frightening than he had imagined!

Did he manage to find a weakness while I was lost in thought? Wang Chong said to himself.

But Wang Chong quickly got ahold of himself.

Heaven’s strength was beyond compare, and no one at present could match him. But he also had an enormous weakness that could not be repaired, which the Sage Emperor had mentioned. His physical body was imprisoned, and he could not truly walk the world.

That Heaven that had entrapped him was probably only an avatar.

Moreover, even if it was an avatar, it was probably extremely valuable and had many restrictions. Perhaps it could even influence his actual body.

Wang Chong believed this because Heaven was being far too cautious!

If Heaven’s avatar had been powerful enough, there would have been no need to attack him mentally while Wang Chong was absentminded. He simply could have attacked him directly. And there would have been no need for him to flee upon being discovered.

Clearly, there was something going on here that he didn’t know about.

At the very least, Heaven still wasn’t confident about his ability to kill him!

In addition, just as the Sage Emperor had said in his letter, when ‘Heaven’ was apprehensive and still sealed, that would be the best chance to find him and deal with him.

Heaven! No matter what, I will find you and end you, and this day isn’t far off! Wang Chong said silently.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind caused the plum blossoms to drift in the wind. As Wang Chong stood in front of the window, his face hardened with resolve.

......

Time went by. Heaven had not appeared since that day, and there had been no further information on him.

Even so, Wang Chong did not let his guard down. On the contrary, he hastened his plans.

One day after the incident, Wang Chong executed a series of plans.

Rather than reducing the Tang army after the war, he began to rapidly expand it.

This was particularly true for the Nine Cauldron Division and the Shadow Dragon Division. Wang Chong sought to expand by ten-some times, even several dozen times.

In addition, Wang Chong gathered many inscription and formation masters to set up formations that could gather spiritual energy in the capital so as to accelerate the cultivation of the elite soldiers.

Wang Chong also summoned Zhangchou Jianqiong, Yeon Gaesomun, the Khitan King, the Xi Queen, and Mutasim III to his estate.

He revealed everything that had happened regarding Heaven on that day, giving them all the details.

The others might not have believed him in the past, but after going to the far north, they had seen the incredible methods available to the Celestial God Organization, including that ancient building at the bottom of the sea, the dimensions opened up within it, and those unkillable monsters.

Besides Mutasim III, no one believed that Wang Chong was exaggerating.

In truth, the other countries feared the Celestial God Organization far more than Wang Chong and the Great Tang.

If they had to experience another great disaster like the Great Ice Age, all of human civilization would cease to exist!

After a night of discussion, the other countries agreed that they would send Wang Chong their finest elites, including their elite martial artists, to participate in Wang Chong’s plans.

All information regarding this force was classified, and no one except Wang Chong, Li Heng, the various Kings knew the exact details. Nobody even knew what they were called.

Everything was moving forward at full speed. Wang Chong was even helping the Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief break into the Grotto Heaven realm.

In addition, with Li Heng’s tacit approval, Wang Chong was able to visit Su Zhengchen in the Su Residence under the cover of darkness.

After relating his experiences battling with Genesis Supreme and ‘Heaven’, Wang Chong silently departed.
