Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#482 - Chapter 481 Confirming the identity, the Emperor of Beiyin arrives

The middle-aged woman in charge of the inspection suppressed the shock in her heart and tentatively asked, "Are you saying… is there a possibility that Li Chenqiu is a Ninth-Realm Chosen One?"

Zheng Tong rubbed his head: "It's not that I don't want to believe this result, it's just… this result is unscientific!"

The fastest person in the Federation's history to break through realms, from First-Realm to Ninth-Realm, took nearly two years. But now there's someone who went from First-Realm to Ninth-Realm in less than half a year, directly shortening the record by three-quarters!

Such terrifying speed, saying it's outrageous is an understatement!

How could he accept such an absurd result? Even if he forced himself to accept it, how could he stand in front of the leader and say with confidence:

"This Li Chenqiu, who is mixed up with two Twelfth-Realm Resurrected Ones and has risen from First-Realm to Ninth-Realm in half a year, is an excellent Chosen One."

He himself felt this was nonsense, let alone the leaders above.

He had to be more rigorous… Zheng Tong turned to look at a combatant and said, "Go to the military supplies department and get an unopened life detection device, and also transfer a Resurrected One to verify the machine's functionality."

"Yes, sir!"

…

Time flew by, and several hours passed in a flash.

"Data analysis complete. Current examinee is a Chosen One… bone age twenty, realm level Ninth-Realm, result reported." The mechanical female voice seemed a little tired, speaking softly.

Li Chenqiu sat up from the metal bed and looked at Zheng Tong, who was standing not far away, and said, "Leader Zheng, I've been tested countless times, can't you determine if I'm a Chosen One yet?"

Zheng Tong's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he looked at Li Chenqiu with a strange look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I want to ask, how did you jump from First-Realm to Ninth-Realm in half a year?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eager and curious eyes focused on Li Chenqiu. They also wanted to learn how to break through realms so quickly.

"I…"

"Wait!"

Li Chenqiu, who had already thought of a reason, was about to speak when Zheng Tong stopped him.

"I have to record a video, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the higher-ups."

Saying that, Zheng Tong took out his phone from his pocket, pointed the camera at Li Chenqiu, and gave an "OK" gesture.

Li Chenqiu's lips parted slightly: "The reason why my realm-breaking speed is so fast… I actually don't know myself, I'm still exploring."

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zheng Tong questioned, "You don't know the reason why you break through realms so quickly?"

"If I knew the reason, would I hide the fact that I had already broken through to the Ninth-Realm?

From the Seventh-Realm to the Ninth-Realm, I was just like a Resurrected One, breaking through realms naturally after eating enough meat, so I was very uneasy and didn't dare to tell anyone this news until you found out now."

Li Chenqiu showed a helpless smile on his face.

Instead of making up a reason now and worrying about being caught, it's better to directly state that he doesn't know, and let others imagine it themselves.

As Li Chenqiu expected, after hearing these words, although there was still suspicion in Zheng Tong's eyes, it was not as strong as before.

There were precedents for Chosen Ones breaking through realms directly without mental stimulation. Generally, it was because the Chosen One had received too much mental stimulation in a certain realm, which led to the next realm being able to break through directly.

But he had never heard of encountering no mental barriers for two consecutive realms, but not hearing about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and one can't generalize.

Thinking of this, Zheng Tong turned off the phone recording and said to the combatant standing aside, "Unlock the handcuffs and shackles."

The combatant inserted the horizontal knife into its sheath, quickly came to Li Chenqiu, and unlocked the handcuffs and shackles.

"Thank you for clearing my name." Li Chenqiu thanked sincerely.

"This is what I should do, and thank you for cooperating with my investigation."

Zheng Tong walked up to Li Chenqiu: "Although you have proven that you are not a Resurrected One, it is still necessary to investigate whether you have colluded with the Resurrected Ones or have been knowingly silent.

During this period, the An Tong Division will impose imprisonment on you until everything is investigated. This is the procedure, I hope you understand."

Li Chenqiu nodded: "I understand, but I have a request, I want to see Li Ji, can I?"

Zheng Tong answered truthfully: "This is not within my authority, but I will inform the higher-ups of your request."

"I… thank you." Li Chenqiu hesitated, forcing a smile on his face.

After the identity check, Li Chenqiu followed Zheng Tong to a room with one bedroom and one living room.

"You will stay here these days. Someone will deliver food to you on time every day. If you need anything, just tell the person who delivers the food." Zheng Tong instructed.

"Understood, thank you."

"By the way, your Mystic Weapon will be temporarily kept by the An Tong Division, is that okay!"

"No problem."

"Well, thank you for your understanding. I will urge the Disaster Investigation Department. If you are innocent, you won't be locked up for too long."

Li Chenqiu nodded his thanks.

After explaining everything, Zheng Tong left the room. Li Chenqiu turned around, his sharp eyes swept across every corner of the room.

Six cameras, no windows, no clocks, only a bed, a sofa, and a water dispenser.

"Sigh~~~"

Li Chenqiu sighed slightly, walked to the sofa and sat down, crossed his hands on his knees, and quietly waited for the Northern Yin Heavenly Emperor.

Since the other party could speak to him in front of everyone just now, there was no reason not to come to him.

After an unknown amount of time, the space behind Li Chenqiu wriggled slightly, and a figure dressed as a scholar walked out of it. This person was the Northern Yin Heavenly Emperor.

"King Chu Jiang, I'm a little late."

Li Chenqiu, who was sitting on the sofa, straightened up and turned his head in surprise: "Emperor… how could you just…"

"Don't worry, the cameras and bugs can't detect me, and no one will hear our conversation." The Northern Yin Heavenly Emperor walked to the water dispenser, bent over and poured himself a glass of hot water.

Li Chenqiu said with some concern: "But Emperor… my room may be in the domain of a certain Chosen One, is it okay for you to come in like this?"

The Northern Yin Heavenly Emperor glanced at Li Chenqiu with slight surprise, and came to the sofa with hot water and sat down: "You guessed right, your room is indeed in the domain of an Eleventh-Realm Chosen One, but it doesn't matter, he can't detect me."

Li Chenqiu was relieved when he heard this, and said, "Emperor, I…"

The Northern Yin Heavenly Emperor raised his hand to interrupt Li Chenqiu's words: "Wait a minute, are you Ying Huaichen or Li Chenqiu."

Li Chenqiu said with an ugly expression: "I am Li Chenqiu. Zheng Tong came in a hurry at that time, and I didn't have time to escape with Ying Huaichen's body."

The Northern Yin Heavenly Emperor nodded and stretched out his hand to him: "Give me Ying Huaichen's body and your shady Mystic Weapons. This place is not safe, and you will be exposed if you carry these."
