CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 414 – AN UNIMAGINABLE GAIN!

Chapter 414 – An Unimaginable Gain!

On the fourth day, Chen Ye met with his elder brother again.

After just three days, Chen Chao looked exhausted—his beard unshaven, dark circles under his eyes, and his entire expression filled with fatigue.

"Big bro, don’t tell me you haven’t slept in three days?" Chen Ye was surprised.

"Yeah."

Chen Chao admitted it with a bitter smile. "With a decision like that in front of me, who could possibly sleep?"

After speaking, he pulled the Main God Invitation Card from his coat pocket and placed it in front of Chen Ye.

"Huh?"

Seeing the card, Chen Ye was stunned.

He’d assumed Chen Chao wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of becoming a reincarnator. Back when he handed him the card, the eagerness in his brother’s eyes had said it all.

But to his surprise, the result was the opposite.

"Big bro, you don’t want to be a reincarnator?"

Chen Ye couldn’t help but ask.

In his mind, the hope was for Chen Chao to gain the ability to protect himself.

After all, Chen Ye and Qin Muyin had eliminated many reincarnators. Most of them were scum who deserved it, but that wouldn’t stop others from seeking revenge.

While Chen Ye was around, no one dared make a move.

But once he left, things could get risky.

He figured this was likely the reason Han Li had given him the card in the first place—to help secure Chen Chao’s safety.

And yet, Chen Chao had declined...

"Of course I want to! I’ve dreamed of having superhuman powers like you."

Chen Chao let out a bitter laugh. "But I know what kind of person I am—hesitant, indecisive, and always overthinking. Plus, I’ve got a family now. I’m terrified of dying."

"So after thinking it through, I realized I’m not cut out for being a reincarnator."

Hearing this, Chen Ye sighed inwardly.

He knew his brother was right.

There was also another issue he couldn’t ignore—if Chen Chao died in the Main God Space, could their parents bear it? What about his sister-in-law and the child?

So in the end, Chen Ye supported his brother’s decision.

Still, some of his plans needed to change.

"Big bro, if you’re not going to become a reincarnator, then you’ll probably need to move to Jinling with your family and our parents."

Before Chen Chao could ask, Chen Ye continued, "I’ve cleaned up a lot of trash lately, and some people are bound to hold a grudge. After I’m gone, they might come for you. But in Jinling, I have friends. It’ll be safer there."

Chen Chao paused in surprise, then fell into thought.

Jinling was, after all, a historically significant and prosperous city—far better than this place. He had no objection to relocating.

After a moment, he nodded. "We’ll do as you say."

And so—

Chen Ye remained on Earth for a while longer, helping his family move to Jinling. He returned the invitation card to Han Li and asked him to help look after his family.

Only then did he prepare to return to Blue Star.

He would leave quietly.

And his current body needed to be well preserved—just in case there was a chance to return again...

In the end, Han Li helped him prepare a crystal coffin crafted from spiritual stone. As long as the spiritual energy within remained, the body would stay perfectly preserved.

After making all the preparations, Chen Ye lay inside the crystal coffin and silently chanted: "Return."

...

A wave of dizziness struck.

When Chen Ye opened his eyes again, he was back on Blue Star.

A familiar room appeared before him.

As he took in the furnishings, memories surged back to his mind.

He knew—he was home.

Back on Blue Star!

Suddenly, a prompt echoed in his mind from the secret realm...

[Welcome back...]

[Your performance during the "Extermination Order" mission was outstanding. As a reward, you have obtained the coordinates to "Earth."]

[This coordinate can be used once per year during the global secret realm event. You may choose to enter Earth as a separate secret realm for continued extermination missions.]

Hearing the notification, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up with joy.

His biggest worry after leaving Earth had been his family.

Now, with this "coordinate," he could visit them once a year.

Like a pillow handed to someone drifting to sleep—it came at the perfect time.

Chen Ye was delighted.

Even more exciting was his updated status panel...

Name: Chen Ye

Constitution: MAX

Spirit: 100000

Strength: MAX

Agility: MAX

Talent: Saitama Physique

Unallocated Potential: 90271

...

The godlike stats he had obtained on Earth had been fully retained.

Though even without them, he could’ve reached this level within two or three years.

But saving two or three years of effort? Even better.

As for the ninety thousand points of potential...

They were all gained by killing evil reincarnators on Earth.

Without hesitation, Chen Ye poured all of them into his Spirit stat.

Instantly—

The entire world shifted in his perception.

The movements of rats in the sewers became crystal clear. Dogs running on the lawn outside echoed into his ears. He could even hear the engines of cars on distant roads.

Everything around him was audible. Even the flow of air was something he could now "hear."

No exaggeration—Chen Ye could now sense his surroundings without using his eyes. His auditory perception surpassed even that of Daredevil from Marvel.

He glanced at the time.

It was just past 3 p.m.

His parents weren’t home. The house was empty.

On a whim, Chen Ye leapt out the window and soared into the sky.

Moments later—

He reached outer space.

Looking down, Blue Star and Earth were nearly indistinguishable—both equally blue, equally beautiful.

He focused his eyes on Blue Star below.

His vision pierced the atmosphere with ease. He could see everything on the surface.

Cities, rivers, mountains... pedestrians on the streets, beasts roaming the wilds—everything was in perfect clarity.

It was like having the legendary ability of clairvoyance.

And that was just what had changed in his eyes and ears.

The real transformation?

Chen Ye could now "see" everything inside his own body.

Bones, muscles, veins, organs, flowing blood—nothing escaped his awareness.

With this ability, any flaw in his body would be instantly detected. He could even manipulate his own blood and cells to repair damage.

This resembled the ultimate martial state in traditional inner martial arts: breaking through illusion, attaining the invincible state of "See the Divine, Remain Unbroken."

"So, breaching 100,000 Spirit points automatically grants this peak state of martial arts mastery? If my martial uncle Ba Liming found out, what would he think?"

In truth—

Chen Ye’s bodily awareness had already surpassed the "See the Divine" stage.

That level allowed one to observe—but not control and repair themselves.

"No wonder. Spirit governs the brain. Reaching 100,000 has completely overturned reality."

Chen Ye let out a sigh.

At this moment, he felt the whole world was within his grasp.

Perhaps... he had already stepped into the realm of a true god.

And yet, deep in his heart, he still saw himself as human.

...

After playing in outer space for a while, Chen Ye returned to the capital.

While flying through the atmosphere, thanks to his powerful spirit stat, he could now even avoid sonic booms after breaking the sound barrier by slipping through air resistance—moving without a trace.

Even flying at five times the speed of sound, he produced no sound at all.

Of course, if he flew too fast—say, over ten times the speed of sound—air resistance would become unavoidable...

Before long, Chen Ye quietly arrived back at his home in the capital without alerting a single person.

Opening his status panel, the perfectly aligned "max" values were immensely satisfying—a dream for anyone with OCD.

Name: Chen Ye

Constitution: max

Spirit: max

Strength: max

Agility: max

Talent: Saitama Physique

Unallocated Potential: 0

All four attributes—maxed out!

Chen Ye’s accomplishment was surely unprecedented—and possibly unrepeatable.

This journey had yielded extraordinary gains.

In high spirits, he picked up his phone.

After a brief moment of thought, he called Qin Muyin and arranged to meet.

In Qin Muyin’s luxurious villa, Chen Ye met her.

"You just got back and ran over here. Aren’t you worried your little girlfriend will get jealous?"

Qin Muyin smiled teasingly the moment she saw him.

Chen Ye was momentarily speechless and could only shift the topic. "Sister Qin, how long have you been back?"

"Only half a day before you. I got back last night."

Hearing that, Chen Ye quickly did the math.

After Qin Muyin left Earth, he stayed behind for nearly half a month to settle affairs. But on Blue Star, only half a day had passed.

The time flow was truly baffling.

"Right, Sister Qin—your spirit stat must have passed a hundred thousand by now?"

Seeing her nod, Chen Ye followed up, "Have you felt anything different?"

"Yes!" Qin Muyin grinned. "I feel like a god in control of everything!"

"If I met those alien invaders again, I could crush them with a flick of my finger."

Chen Ye laughed at her reply.

The two continued to exchange insights.

As evening approached and Chen Ye showed no intention of leaving, Qin Muyin finally gave him the boot.

"The sun’s going down. Time for you to go."

Chen Ye was startled. "Can’t I stay for dinner?"

"No."

The word came sharp and firm.

Chen Ye let out a bitter chuckle. "Sister Qin, you didn’t treat me like this before."

"That was then," she replied with a smile. "Now I’m not in the best condition. I won’t keep you here."

Hearing that, Chen Ye could only sigh and stand up.

"Alright then. Get some rest."

At the door, he suddenly stopped and couldn’t help asking, "Sister Qin, since you can observe your own body, you should be able to see the baby in your womb, right? I want to know—is it a boy or a girl?"

Back on Earth, doctors in the U.S. had told him that Qin Muyin had been pregnant for almost two months.

At that stage, machines couldn’t determine gender, but Qin Muyin’s internal observation should be more than sufficient.

"Why do you want to know?" she asked.

Chen Ye smiled. "I’m the father, after all. I want to prepare a gift in advance."

Qin Muyin pouted but answered anyway. "It’s a girl."

"A girl? That’s wonderful!"

Chen Ye beamed. "Alright, I’ll leave now and come check on you again in a few days."

"If you have time, why not go check the interdimensional portal instead?" Qin Muyin added. "Word is, the foreign races haven’t been behaving lately. After I returned yesterday, the higher-ups came to see me about taking action. But since I’m not in shape, I’ll leave it to you."

Chen Ye’s eyes lit up, and he smiled. "No problem!"

With his current strength, foreign races were no threat.

Unless... one of them was as broken as he was.

...

When Chen Ye returned home, it was already past 5 p.m.

His parents happened to be home.

Seeing him walk in, both Chairman Chen and Mother Yang Rongzhi lit up with joy.

"Chen Ye!" his mother exclaimed. "My son is home! Come here and let me take a look—are you hurt anywhere?"

"Of course not." Chen Ye laughed and obediently walked over to be examined.

Finding him perfectly intact, his mother breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, good. I’ll go cook your favorite dishes."

With that, she bustled into the kitchen, leaving father and son alone.

Though Chairman Chen was clearly happy to see his son, he was more restrained than his wife. He asked, "How did the mission go? Smoothly?"

"Very smoothly!" Chen Ye said sincerely. "I gained far more than I could’ve ever imagined."

He wasn’t exaggerating.

Not only had his strength reached an unimaginable level...

He also gained an unborn daughter.

Such a reward—his past self could never have even dreamed of it.

"What about you, Dad? How’d it go?"

Chairman Chen chuckled. "Not bad. I killed a few heretics. Later, I ran into a powerful black man. I figured I wasn’t his match, so I aborted the mission and returned."

Hearing this, Chen Ye’s heart stirred.

A powerful black man?

In the Main God Space, few black reincarnators were truly strong. The most iconic was the man ranked first on the A-Class expert list—nicknamed "The Burier."

Perhaps that was who his father encountered.

Of course, it didn’t matter anymore.

Because that Burier was already dead—killed by Chen Ye himself.

"What about my martial uncle and the others? Did they all make it back?" he asked again.

"They did," Chairman Chen replied. "But your martial uncle ran into a strong opponent—had one of his arms broken. If he hadn’t been fast enough to dodge, the consequences might’ve been dire..."
