Chen Luo gently pushed open the bedroom door and saw Mi Li wearing black-rimmed glasses, reading a famous book at her desk.

The glasses added a touch of intellectual charm to Mi Li, making her look different from usual.

Mi Li smiled sweetly at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo chuckled, "Why the glasses? Are you nearsighted now?"

Mi Li replied, "No, I just feel more into the book when I wear them."

Chen Luo grinned, "I think you look good with them on."

Mi Li blushed slightly.

Chen Luo wrapped his arms around Mi Li from behind, "I have a treasure to show you."

Since he couldn't reach King-level before Bai Hao arrived, the Light-element King-level crystal he had wouldn't be of much use to Chen Luo.

If he used his Space-Time ability, the crystal would shatter, and Chen Luo wouldn't be able to use Void Walk.

One of Chen Luo and Bai Hao was destined to die.

And that would definitely be Bai Hao.

Then he could use Bai Hao's crystal to advance to King-level. For now, he would give this compatible Light-element crystal to Mi Li.

Chen Luo forcefully placed it in Mi Li's hand, "Alright, reach level ten quickly, so you can help me better."

Since Mi Li had already absorbed a level ten Light-element crystal today, she would have to wait until tomorrow.

The next day, Mi Li reached level ten.

From level nine to ten, Mi Li had been continuously absorbing the level ten Light-element crystal, and with the help of the hallucinogenic fruit tree Chen Luo brought back from the mountain, the speed of absorption increased.

Today, she absorbed a King-level crystal, making the breakthrough from level nine to ten a natural process, and within a month, she could advance to King-level.

Mi Li was likely to become the first King-level human.

…

After Bai Hao returned, he immediately began to summon his subordinates.

Some of the sea creatures were tens of thousands of miles away and couldn't arrive immediately. After relaying the message, they arrived on the third day.

Bai Hao's first words were, "What if that hateful human takes advantage of my absence again and kills one of you from time to time? It might be one of you!"

A wave of panic washed over the sea creatures. That person came to buy them like he was visiting a vegetable market.

What if he was next?

Bai Hao said fiercely, "Now, I've found him. He's on land. Everyone, come ashore with me and kill him!"

The killer whale was the first to respond, "Anyone who doesn't go, I'll kill them!"

The killer whale wasn't stupid. Chen Luo had three King-levels on his side. Counting on him and Bai Hao might not be enough.

Bai Hao was difficult to kill, but it was very easy to kill him.

It would be different with so many sea creatures. Although they were far inferior to him, they were numerous. Even if he and Bai Hao were besieged by many level tens, they would still be in trouble.

There were more than fifty level tens present.

A large, bright red crab said, "I'll go. I don't want to live in fear. I might be boiled one day."

An unknown black monster fish said with difficulty, "But I don't have legs. I move slowly on land, and I can't exert my full strength."

Bai Hao said coldly, waving his hand, "Enough. Everyone is going. The Black Protector and I will carry you in the air. Anyone who doesn't go, I'll kill them now."

For a moment, all the sea creatures were silent as cicadas in winter.

These sea creatures were quite intelligent, but they were different from humans. Humans were full of tricks, but these sea creatures followed the principle of respecting the strong.

This was almost imprinted in their bones.

There were also sea creatures with fanciful ideas, but only a few.

Just then, a white seagull landed from the sky. It was Bai Ou.

"How about taking me along? I'd like to see what's going on too."

Bai Hao looked at Bai Ou in surprise.

A black-footed albatross, also one of Bai Hao's subordinates, said, "That's Bai Ou. He's my friend. I called him over."

Bai Ou laughed, "I've also seen that human you're talking about, the one who disappears strangely. He tried to attack me the moment we met."

"But as the Sea God, you're a bit weak. He ran away as soon as he saw me, yet you have to mobilize so many to deal with him."

Chen Luo displayed his Void Walk ability in front of the sea creatures, just like he did in front of Bai Ou, so Bai Ou guessed it was Chen Luo.

Bai Hao chuckled coldly. This seagull dared to laugh at him.

Fine, he'd take him along, and eat him after the operation was over.

No one would refuse this Bai Ou, who volunteered to join.

Bai Hao chose to act late at night to avoid making too much noise and being noticed by Chen Luo.

Bai Hao was willing to do anything to deal with Chen Luo, even carrying some level ten sea creatures to fly to Chen Luo's place.

Not all sea creatures were very large. For example, Hai Ji and Ningshuang were very small even without transforming.

Large size didn't necessarily mean greater strength.

The killer whale was also carrying some sea creatures in the air.

Bai Ou wasn't happy about carrying sea creatures, feeling it was completely unnecessary to deal with Chen Luo, but he still used his mental power to control a few sea creatures, making them fly into the air.

And so, a group of sea creatures actually traveled to Chen Luo's base by air at night.

Flying fish.

Knowing that Bai Hao was coming, Chen Luo had instructed his members to be on the lookout near the beach. If there was any movement, they were to send a telepathic message back immediately.

He never expected them to arrive by air.

Ningshuang sensed something and said, "They're here."

Ningshuang had also prepared in advance, knowing that Bai Hao would come.

She had a friend-killing hatred with Bai Hao.

Bai Hao's and the killer whale's huge bodies landed on the ground, and the sea creatures on top hurriedly jumped down, not daring to stay on the Sea God's back any longer.

Bai Hao said fiercely, "Surround this city. Kill anyone who comes out."

Just then, Chen Luo, Hai Ji, and Ningshuang revealed themselves.

Chen Luo said calmly, "We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Bai Hao's pupils shrank. Did he know I was coming?

Could there be a traitor among us?

Bai Hao turned to look at Bai Ou. He was the most likely.

Bai Hao sneered, "Give me back my armor, and I'll leave immediately."

He was referring to the purple divine armor, which Bai Hao liked very much. It was powerful, but Chen Luo and Jiang Chuxue had worked together to steal it.

Chen Luo smiled faintly. If he could temporarily send Bai Hao away with the armor, Chen Luo would definitely be willing.

If he could steal it once, he could steal it countless times.

Bah, how could it be called stealing?

The key to dealing with Bai Hao was his Space-Time ability, which was also Chen Luo's confidence.

What exactly was the Space-Time ability?

Was it to send Bai Hao and the others into another space-time, or to reverse time, reducing everyone's strength to before they reached King-level?

Since Bai Hao had come, Chen Luo didn't delay and immediately began to use the fused Space-Time ability that he had vaguely mastered.

A pale white pillar of light suddenly appeared, with faint black energy blocks hidden within.

Mysterious energy was contained within.

The pillar of light surged into the sky.

Only Chen Luo could see this pillar of light. Everyone else was completely unaware.

The pillar of light connected heaven and earth.

Chen Luo was at the starting point of the pillar, and another figure appeared at the end.

This figure had long hair that reached his waist, but it was covered in dust, as if it hadn't been washed for many years.

His face was fairly clean.

His appearance was very similar to Chen Luo, only more mature and slovenly.

Chen Luo looked at this figure in disbelief.

This is what I'll look like in the future.

Chen Luo couldn't tell exactly how many years later.

Chen Luo finally understood the function of his Space-Time ability.

Borrowing the power of my future self.

My future self is Emperor-level!
