Chapter 567: Guardians of Generations
Chen Yu wore an expression of enjoyment, continuously absorbing the energy surrounding him.
"I originally thought that taking over Sky Sand City would be difficult, but had I known it was this easy, I would have come directly to you."
Sha Tongtian could distinctly feel the power draining from his body, and his once robust frame had now withered away.
[Congratulations to the host, the system has entered enhancement loading status.]
[Evolution values are being recalculated.]
Chen Yu had never experienced such immense power before.
Radiation Power is an inherently contradictory force in this world; the energy it unleashes can benefit mankind or just as easily destroy it.
Moreover, human bodies simply cannot withstand the impact of this kind of power.
But Chen Yu was different, he had the system, and most forms of power were purified by the system before being transmitted into his body.
For this reason, he could absorb this power without end.
Time passed, and finally, Sha Tongtian's body was completely withered, and the surrounding liquids dried up at a pace visible to the naked eye.
In the end, not a trace of Radiation Power could be detected in the room.
Chen Yu assessed his own physical condition and, following the system's prompt, he found that his physical quality and brain capacity and wisdom had all surpassed human limits by five times.
From a human perspective, he had acquired a divine stature.
Just then, chaos suddenly erupted outside the door.
Xu Sanhe and Huang Qingyang, along with all their subordinates, rushed into the city lord's mansion in a swarm.
They did not want Chen Yu to suffer any mishaps.
But when they burst in, they were immediately dumbfounded.
The once mighty and superior Sha Tongtian was now lying on the ground like a dried-up corpse, motionless.
"Mr. Chen, how did you do this? How did you turn Sha Tongtian into this?"
Chen Yu did not elaborate.
"Now that Sha Tongtian is dead, we should talk about the ownership of this city! I propose we divide the city into three parts, one for each of us. How about that?"
Chen Yu did not want to stay here longer than necessary; the sooner they settled the division of the city, the sooner he could leave.
Huang Qingyang and Xu Sanhe were somewhat surprised; according to their original plan, they intended to give half of the city's assets to Chen Yu, while the two of them would split the remaining half.
They did not expect Chen Yu to be so generous.
"Mr. Chen, there's no rush for this kind of thing. Let's sit down and discuss it slowly, and draft a contract together."
Xu Sanhe quickly interjected, trying to reassure him.
His life had been saved by Chen Yu, and he did not want Chen Yu to settle for so little of the assets.
Moreover, in his view, managing such a vast wealth alone would at least require Chen Yu to establish his own force locally.
Chen Yu knew what they meant but simply took out a wooden Token and passed it over.
"It won't be long before someone calls you. Just negotiate directly."
With those words, Chen Yu left without looking back.
Only then did the two react, hastily examining the Token.
"Xuanqing Sect? Could Mr. Chen be the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect?"
All those present were stunned; the Xuanqing Sect was a supremely exalted existence in this world.
If Chen Yu really was the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, they had found a powerful backer.
Above the boundless desert, Chen Yu was leisurely driving his car.
After the system upgrade, he discovered he could control the car purely with his consciousness, and even manipulate the computer to some extent.
While he was conducting experiments, he suddenly perceived a hint of danger.
There were more than a dozen people lying in the sand not far away.
Chen Yu couldn't help but frown and immediately stopped the car.
Just as he was about to check it out, those people suddenly jumped up from the sand, shouting and encircling him in the middle.
"Who are you? Are you a spy sent by Duan Tiande?"
Chen Yu ignored them and directly took a backpack from the car and threw it over.
"I don't know any Duan Tiande, but judging by your looks, you haven't eaten for several days, right? There's food in the bag, enough for you to eat for one day."
A younger one immediately widened his eyes and rushed over to open the backpack.
Inside, indeed, there were some compressed biscuits and water.
The middle-aged man leading them hurriedly pulled the children back.
"Don't be fooled, this guy might have poisoned the food."
Chen Yu, who had kindly given them food, was being slandered like this. Just as he was about to react, the sound of an aircraft's propellers suddenly came from not too far away.
A very robust figure jumped down from the airplane, casually pulling out a knife.
"Duo Geli! I didn't expect you to hide with these little bugs in this place, no wonder I couldn't find you. Hand over that thing quickly, or I'll kill you right now."
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, there should be some order here, I haven't settled things with them yet, what are you butting in for?"
The man suddenly turned his head and sized up Chen Yu from head to toe.
"It looks like you're not one of them, but it doesn't make a difference to me. Hand over everything valuable you have, or I'll kill you right now."
Chen Yu's face was full of annoyance, he still didn't know what exactly was happening, and this guy was trying to rob him.
Taking a breath to compose himself, he stretched out his finger and lightly flicked it.
A white flash of electricity sparkled, flipping the man to the ground.
Duo Geli next to him was frightened out of his wits. Although he understood Chen Yu wasn't with the other party, he felt an inexplicable fear towards Chen Yu.
Several more people jumped down from the helicopter.
As soon as they landed, they charged at Chen Yu, brandishing knives. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Before they could get close, the sand next to them came to life, trapping their bodies and burying them in the ground.
Chen Yu suddenly looked up, his finger lightly flicked, and a powerful blue-white electric light surged out instantly, bringing down the helicopter.
He then covered the system outwards, scanning the brain information of everyone present.
Duo Geli had some reputation in this desert, his organization roamed the desert, seemingly guarding something.
To protect such a thing, Duo Geli's family had lived in the desert for generations.
Those who came on the helicopter were there to snatch this treasure.
Chen Yu suddenly became interested; a thing that could make a family guard it for generations must not be ordinary.
Duo Geli suddenly knelt down in front of Chen Yu.
"Sir, I misunderstood you just now, thank you for saving our lives."
