Book 7: Chapter 4:1: The First Taste of the Immortal Executioner Sword, Part 1

Chen Heng tapped on the spatial coordinates that Customer Service had sent him for the location of the law deity. Then he started spatial jumping.

Chen Heng hadn’t yet mastered his spatial abilities, as he hadn’t used them much recently. Jumping precisely from Vast Sea City to the Forbidden City in Beijing was beyond his current capabilities, so he had to take it step by step.

[TL Note: The Forbidden City refers to the former imperial palace in Beijing, now a heritage site and a tourist spot. Here is more information about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_City.]

Five minutes later, Chen Heng arrived in the Forbidden City, standing on a rooftop, gazing at the scenery below.

When Chen Heng spatial jumped into the Forbidden City, the spatial fluctuations caused by his arrival should have been detected by the instruments at the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters. However, for some reason, these instruments malfunctioned for a brief second just then, and due to various unexpected circumstances, the staff failed to notice this collective malfunction.

Even the Special Affairs Bureau members responsible for patrolling this area and the hidden world factions active here remained unaware of the spatial fluctuations, except for Chen Heng’s target this time—Yang Yan.

This was the protection of the world! Just like a beloved child of the world, able to do as one pleased without restraint, those favored by the world could accomplish anything within it as if divinely assisted.

Although Chen Heng felt that this world might not have much love for him, it didn’t stop the world’s protection from coming into play.

Don’t act all mysterious. Let’s get to it. Your target is just 500 meters away.

“Why the rush? If that law deity can cross over from another world, it means he must be quite proficient in spatial abilities. Can he really not detect such obvious spatial fluctuations as mine?”

You’re quite clever.

“Can we skip the text chat and communicate through thoughts, like that world consciousness from Under One Person?”

Sure, no problem. Speak, are you missing my extremely wonderful voice?

“…What a beautiful voice it is. It’s a shame the owner of that voice is not mute,” Chen Heng sighed.

???

“Did you just type three question marks in my head? Does your brain not have the capacity to understand what I just said?”

“I… Never mind. Your target has appeared; he is right behind you.”

Customer Service decided to cooperate for the sake of the mission.

“I know. With such conspicuous spatial fluctuations, he isn’t even thinking of hiding.”

“Hello there, Law Deity Yang Yan.” Chen Heng looked over his shoulder at the young man in mage robes, who was now standing behind him. This man had a slightly above-average appearance and a gentle expression on his face, seemingly harmless. Chen Heng couldn’t understand why someone like him would want to dominate the world. Did he have a death wish?

However, Chen Heng saw the man’s previously gentle expression instantly change as soon as he addressed that man as Law Deity Yang Yan. Yang Yan’s face hardened, and a murderous intent filled his eyes.

Chen Heng realized that the earlier appearance of gentleness in Yang Yan’s expression was likely just arrogance toward this world.

Imagine, after gaining the power to destroy the world, returning to the people and environment of your past. Outwardly, you might appear mature and composed, but deep inside, there would surely be some degree of arrogance.

“Who are you?” Yang Yan asked, not showing much panic at Chen Heng figuring out his identity, at least not on the surface.

In an environment as cutthroat as the other world, Yang Yan, who had struggled and fought for 20 years to become a law deity, was no rookie.

“Let me introduce myself. I am the administrator of the Dimension Administrators Association, responsible for handling cases involving unauthorized transmigration and re:life events, much like yours. Just to clarify, our organization was established a little over half a month ago, so we couldn’t assist you in returning home during your first transmigration.” Chen Heng introduced himself to Yang Yan in a gentle and respectful tone, emphasizing the recent formation of their organization to avoid misunderstandings.

In fact, Chen Heng’s clarification had the desired effect. Initially, when Chen Heng mentioned that he specialized in handling such unusual cases, Yang Yan felt an urge to attack Chen Heng and hostility toward the organization Chen Heng represented. This great me transmigrated with nothing, and after achieving fame and power, I made it back on my own. Why would they come looking for me now? What do they mean by this? What do they want?

However, after Chen Heng’s clarification about the organization’s recent formation, Yang Yan suppressed these thoughts.

Oh! So, this organization had not even been formed when I transmigrated? It is indeed not their fault.

Yang Yan didn’t express much doubt about what Chen Heng had said. After all, he had transmigrated himself; what was there not to believe? Moreover, Chen Heng had mentioned his law deity status upon their first meeting, further enhancing Chen Heng’s credibility.

As it turned out, Chen Heng was well-suited for handling such situations. He could use his Precognition to repeatedly observe the effects of each word he spoke in the future. Some people might inadvertently create conflicts with their words, but not Chen Heng. He could test and choose the most appropriate words to use in the future.

“What is your purpose in coming here? Just a simple introduction or do you want to send me back to the other world again or perhaps strip me of my powers?” Yang Yan’s words grew heated, and he became increasingly vigilant.

“Please don’t misunderstand, Mister Yang Yan. I came to see you with the intention of a peaceful resolution. If we can solve this amicably, conflict is the last thing I desire.”

“If you wish to return to the other world, we can help you. However, if you want to stay in this world, there are two different options.”

“What are these options?” Yang Yan looked at the smiling Chen Heng. He gradually eased his hostility but remained cautious to a great extent.

As the saying goes, do not slap a smiling face. However, Yang Yan had encountered many people in the other world who hid treachery underneath a mask of friendliness, so maintaining his vigilance was essential.

“The first option is to relinquish all your abilities, become an ordinary person again, and integrate into this world. I assume you wouldn’t choose this option, right?”

“Was there any doubt?” Yang Yan replied firmly. He would never choose to give up the immense strength he had cultivated through countless life-threatening experiences.
