Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 569 274: Abyss Situation and Xu Dejun's Request_3

Xu Dejun said frankly, "I'm afraid, but I have no choice."

Wu Chang glanced at the metal card in his hand and said, "This matter is too troublesome; I'm too lazy to go. I'll take you back to reality, and you can talk to them yourself."

Xu Dejun shook his head and said, "I can't leave just yet, the Realm of Reason still needs me."

"Although the Evolution Sect has already seized power, the Realm of Reason is different from the Desolate Realm because there is no safe point, so not all players from the Four Major Organizations stay in the territory space."

"I need to take advantage of the Evolution Sect's control of the territory space to go to other strongholds of the Order Sect, inform them of the current situation, and prepare to confront the Evolution Sect."

Wu Chang looked at Xu Dejun with suspicion and asked a rather impolite question.

"Are you capable?"

Xu Dejun's strength is similar to You Feipeng's, his level should not exceed fifty. Even if he was not affected by the Resentful Spirit Devouring Heart, he couldn't handle the four pursuers just now.

With players of this level, in front of the Bright Society, having or not having him makes little difference.

Xu Dejun's old face turned red from being criticized. He wanted to retort, but recalling the scene where Wu Chang used Authority to easily wipe out the private pursuers, he was speechless and could only grunt in annoyance.

"Although my strength is lacking, I've been with the Management Bureau for a long time, having some false credentials. In the current situation where the Order Sect's higher-ups are heavily injured, I can barely integrate the Order Sect and the Neutral Sect to contend with the Evolution Sect, preventing them from achieving total success."

Saying this, Xu Dejun's momentum deflated, and he began to blame himself.

"The biggest regret of my life is my initial indulgence of the Evolution Sect. At that time, I thought regardless of what ideals were pursued, as long as it could strengthen the Management Bureau, it would aid the competition and progress of its members, then it was beneficial."

"Although the Evolution Sect is extreme, it's full of vigor. During its formative years, I gave them many green lights and even persuaded the Order Sect to allow their free development in the early stages, which ended up as raising a tiger to cause trouble."

"The situation started because of me, I can't hide away in the Desolate Realm and allow the chaos in the Realm of Reason to escalate. Maybe I can't do much, but even if I can do a little, it's a partial redemption for my previous misjudgment."

Seeing Xu Dejun's determined attitude, Wu Chang couldn't say much more.

From Xu Dejun's posture, appearance, and speech, Wu Chang could glimpse parts of his character.

Although he's somewhat incompetent, there is a sense of belief and responsibility within him that Wu Chang can perceive clearly without needing Inspiration.

If possible, people like him should die less.

He looked at Xu Dejun and said, "You owe me two lives; remember to repay them when I ascend to the Realm of Reason."

Xu Dejun laughed heartily twice, as if gaining a huge advantage, and said, "When you can't find me, feel free to ask the Order Sect; they will surely repay you."

Wu Chang shook his head, placed the metal card into his personal space, and said, "I'm afraid Joy is targeting me; if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Xu Dejun solemnly bowed to Wu Chang and said, "Lord Peace, the safety of the entire real world is entrusted to, um..."

This time, Wu Chang was watchful, and before Xu Dejun finished speaking, he pinched Xu Dejun's mouth shut.

"I'm not the strongman of the Ming Dynasty who can bear the burdens of two capitals and thirteen provinces. I can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility, so don't press on me."

"I'm just an ordinary lone wolf player passing through, capable only of what I can do and leaving the rest to fate. If things don't work out, don't blame me either."

Xu Dejun rubbed his pinched mouth, about to say more, but saw Wu Chang had already disappeared before him.

He gazed complexly at the spot where Wu Chang vanished and thought to himself: Such a talented person, it would be great if he were part of the Management Bureau.

Yet moments later, Xu Dejun shook his head.

He shouldn't have too many expectations for players in the Abyssal Game; he favors Peace, but only the current Peace.

Hasn't the Management Bureau produced talents like Peace? It has, and not just one.

But they all got lost in the Abyss; after reaching the Abyss Third Layer, they became different people, forgetting where they came from, forgetting they were once mortal.

Therefore, ever since the Abyss Third Layer was severed from the lower layers, the Management Bureau appeared unchanged, but intentionally suppressed the growth speed of its talents, wanting their disposition and strength to mature together.

Peace grew too fast, too urgently.

Xu Dejun believes his achievements may surpass Joy, yet doubts if he can maintain his true self after entering the Abyss Third Layer.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking how, as an old man overwhelmed with troublesome matters, he worryingly about the prodigies of the sky.

What he should be doing now is to integrate all the Order Sect and Neutral Sect, finding ways to confront the Evolution Sect.

In the Crimson Courtyard's Realm of Reason region, although there are few safety zones, it's not a chaotic battlefield either.

As long as the rules are well-utilized, neither the Evolution Sect nor the Bright Society can truly have it all their way.

He recalled Peace's words before leaving, realizing someone must take on the role of the strongman; since Peace is reluctant, he can only bear it for a while.
