When Li Hong returned to the Soul Clan, several days had already passed since the clan was drenched in blood.
“How is Pu doing?” Li Hong immediately asked Carmillon, who was nearby.
“Oh, he’s about to ascend,” Carmillon replied casually.
“Water? What on earth did you all do?” Li Hong trembled, realizing that something must have happened to Pu during this short time.
Carmillon stroked his chin and said, “The Soul Clan Leader heard that as long as Pu leaves this world, our mission will be complete. He volunteered and used the Soul Clan’s accumulated resources to forcefully elevate Pu to the Nine Star Battle Emperor level.”
“…”
Li Hong covered his face, unable to bear looking at the situation. How could the plot collapse so quickly?
“Well, if he’s breaking through, then so be it. Where’s the Soul Clan Leader? I’ll ask him what he wants; after all, he helped me a great deal.”
“I’m here! I’m here!” Upon hearing Li Hong’s inquiry, Soulmate quickly popped his head out from behind Carmillon.
Only then did Li Hong realize that Soulmate had been squatting on the ground playing cards with a few members of the Soul Sphere.
Seeing Soulmate, Li Hong nodded and asked, “Soul Clan Leader, thank you very much for helping us complete our mission. How about this: if there’s anything you want to do, I’ll help you with it. Otherwise, Old Car and I will be leaving soon.”
Soulmate glanced back at the members of the Soul Clan and hesitated before asking, “Can it really be anything?”
“Yes, in this world, there’s nothing I can’t do,” Li Hong affirmed with a nod.
Li Hong wasn’t exaggerating; aside from not being able to alter Pu’s situation, there were no other issues at all.
“I want to take the Soul Clan away from this world,” Soul Clan Leader stated.
Li Hong nodded thoughtfully and said, "You're talking about the world after the Demon Emperor ascended, right? No problem, I'll..."
"No, I'm referring to your world," the Soul Clan Leader replied. After that, he looked at Li Hong with hopeful eyes.
Ever since Carmillon inadvertently revealed that Breaking Through the Sky was merely a book, Soulmate had developed this idea.
He was unwilling to be just a character within it; he was Soulmate and should achieve something greater.
Not to mention, in this world, he was actually a tragic villain.
"Do you know what our world looks like? It's quite unwise to lead your entire clan on an adventure like this," Li Hong advised.
Setting aside how to accommodate so many people, just the thought of going from an unparalleled powerhouse to a weakling would likely be too much for them to bear.
"No, I've learned some things from the mouth of a Kadar. Although it's regrettable that we can only live around a hundred years, that is the real world. We would rather be an ant in the real world than be arrogant in a virtual one."
Soulmate's expression turned solemn as he said, "This is the decision of all members of my Soul Clan. I hope you can support us."
Li Hong grimaced and explained, "But I'm just an ordinary person in the main world. I can't do anything about providing for so many of you."
The entire Soul Clan consisted of at least ten thousand people. Just thinking about being responsible for their food and daily needs made Li Hong's scalp tingle.
"You don't need to worry, sir. Mr. Carmillon has already thought of a solution for us."
"What solution?" Li Hong asked curiously. With so many people, what could Carmillon possibly do?
"Some of us can become Mr. Carmillon's crowd actors, some can deliver packages, and some can pick up trash."
"As for me, Soulmate, as the leader of the Soul Clan, I must dedicate myself to the survival of our people. I've decided to move bricks."
"Move... move bricks!" Li Hong exclaimed in shock. How did Carmillon come up with this idea?
Soulmate didn't find it strange at all. He nodded and explained, "Although Mr. Carmillon's profession isn't highly regarded, the pay is good, and it's easy to get started."
Then, pointing at the tall and strong youths of the Soul Clan behind him, Soulmate confidently declared, "My Soul Clan youths are all exceptional; I believe they will be skilled brick movers! With that, our Soul Clan will be able to survive in the main world."
Li Hong raised an eyebrow, envisioning a scene.
"I am Dou Zun; I can carry a hundred bricks at once!"
"What’s Dou Zun? I am a Battle Saint; my daily wage is one hundred."
At that moment, a plump Foreman approached, pulling out a large stack of cash and handing it to the silent Soulmate.
"Soulmate, you've done well this month. Here’s your salary—twenty-four thousand. Count it."
"Hiss!"
The others gasped in disbelief as they watched Soulmate count the money.
This man, dressed in tattered jeans, had actually reached a daily wage of eight hundred—how terrifying!
"I recognize him; he's the leader of the Soul Clan, Nine Star Battle Emperor! It's said he can lift an entire truckload of bricks at once; he’s this year's rookie king in the brick-moving industry!"
"This kid is truly formidable! If he doesn't resign soon, there won't be any chance to make money on this construction site!"
"Let's go, let's go! We need to hurry to the next construction site!"
As soon as Li Hong thought of this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Wouldn't it be a disaster if this group of people flooded into the brick-moving industry and drove the already high average wages even higher?
But whatever, as long as he wasn't responsible for their meals, he didn't care what kind of chaos they would stir up once they arrived on Earth.
After all, there were only a little over ten thousand of them. If you removed the women and children, even if they all went to move bricks, they wouldn't cause much of a stir.
There were plenty of people in the brick-moving industry; a few thousand workers from another world could easily be absorbed.
"Motor Lola, can we bring the Soul Clan to Earth?" Li Hong asked his assistant.
"Boss, it's possible. However, once they arrive on Earth, they will lose their fighting spirit and won't be able to cultivate anymore. In simple terms, they'll become just like ordinary people."
Li Hong nodded. That was fine; if a bunch of Demon Emperors were sent over, Earth wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Do they have any identification?" Li Hong suddenly thought of an important issue.
There were over ten thousand people; if they were all undocumented, it would be a huge problem. Setting aside the consequences, without identification, no one would want to hire them to move bricks.
"Boss, don't worry. I will take care of their identification for them. Of course, since this is you using the company's procedures for personal gain, there will be a processing fee of one yuan per person."
"Why don't you just go die!" Li Hong shouted angrily.
One yuan per person didn't seem like much. But with so many people, that added up to over ten thousand yuan.
Li Hong realized that Motor Lola was taking advantage of the situation.
"This is set by General Manager 404, not me trying to make things difficult for you."
Li Hong sighed, not too angry. He understood that charging a single dollar was an unprecedentedly low price. It just hurt his wallet!
Now, over ten thousand dollars had gone down the drain.
"Alright, Soul Clan Leader, are you really sure you want to enter my world?" Li Hong asked once more.
Soulmate nodded, determination in their eyes.
Li Hong nodded back and instructed, "Okay then, you all get ready. Old Car and I will find a place and then bring you out."
"Old Car, let's go."
With that, Li Hong took Carmillon and left the Shattering the Sky World.
