Abyss Sequence

Chapter 41: Press Conference


'If you're planning to hold a news conference and reveal the existence of the Saint, the Abyssal Believers will definitely take notice of you, and they might launch a suicide attack against you. Are you really prepared for this?'

You Yifeng had warned Yan Luo before leaving, and it still echoed in Yan Luo's mind.

Yan Luo didn't take a taxi but instead wandered down the streets, gazing at the brightly lit cityscape in a daze.

Behind him, Jin Miaomiao followed in a muddled state.

She had heard too many unbelievable things, and to this moment, her mind was still buzzing.

The claims like 'the snake in Eden is Fu Xi' and 'Celestial City was built by the Abyssal Believers', these histories wilder than any legend had been ingrained in her mind, causing Jin Miaomiao's thoughts to be incessant.

After some time had passed, Jin Miaomiao suddenly sighed and gave a bitter smile.

"Boss, can you guys not discuss such things in front of me next time?"

Suddenly knowing so many secrets, Jin Miaomiao felt deeply uneasy, thinking she might not be far from death.

According to how films usually play out, a small character like her who knows so much would surely be silenced by the boss.

Although she knew Yan Luo wouldn't do such a thing, her unrelenting thoughts led her to imagine that possibility.

"Oh."

Yan Luo responded, though it's unclear whether he agreed or just replied casually.

The next moment, Jin Miaomiao received a transaction notification, scaring her out of her wits.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Yan Luo looked at Jin Miaomiao quizzically, "Travel expenses; aren't you going to find a place to stay in Lingquan City?"

Jin Miaomiao blanked for a moment, then sheepishly scratched the back of her head, "Oh, I forgot."

Yan Luo waved his hand, "Alright, go find a place to stay, and start working tomorrow. I only have one requirement for your work: 'as soon as possible'!"

"Understood, boss!" Jin Miaomiao saluted Yan Luo, waved with a smile, and ran off, shouting "See you tomorrow, boss" while running.

Watching Jin Miaomiao joyfully bounce away, Yan Luo looked up at the night sky shielded by the blue protective field.

Through the shield, no stars were visible.

Just like how people confined by the abyss can't look farther.

It shouldn't be this way...

Humanity shouldn't have become like this!

......

Yan Luo plans to hold a news conference—

This will be the first time Yan Luo makes a public appearance after being wanted.

Many have taken notice of this conference, waiting in the live stream before it begins.

When the broadcast adjusted to the conference podium, viewers started sending pop-up messages, welcoming Yan Luo's return.

The tall Yan Luo stood at the podium, his eyes bright and full of energy, instantly giving an impression of reliability.

In truth, Yan Luo was indeed very reliable.

"Everyone, I am Yan Luo."

Facing the many reporters and cameras below, Yan Luo showed no fear, solemnly introduced himself, and then immediately transitioned to the theme of the news conference: "In this conference, I mainly want to discuss some matters, including my body constitution, my abilities, and the grievances between me and the Abyssal Believers."

With both hands on the podium, Yan Luo began speaking eloquently: "First of all, as is well known, I can absorb magic power to strengthen myself. I apologize for deceiving everyone on this matter; my primary method of absorbing magic power isn't by bathing in demon blood, as that's too inefficient. In fact, I've always been directly consuming demon flesh to obtain magic power. I know you might be wondering, yes, exactly what you think, demons can't be slaughtered or cook their flesh, so I've always eaten demons raw to acquire magic power.

"My adaptability to magic power is extremely low; only through this method can I absorb a large amount of magic power. As the demon flesh enters my stomach, as their original body dies, the dissipating magic power stays inside me. So, I misled everyone about how I absorb magic power, and I'm sorry about that.

"Secondly, my abilities mainly grow by absorbing magic power. This enhancement is biased; I can choose which aspect of my physical functions to develop, and the magic power will enhance that particular part. Tests have shown that my muscle strength extreme is five tons; I can lift a five-ton object, my punch force is about thirty tons, and kick force is forty-two tons. My muscle structure is entirely different from ordinary people; the density of various body tissues like muscles and bones is eight to ten times stronger than normal humans.

"I can strengthen not only muscles and bones but also bioelectricity and human magnetic fields. This means once the conditions are met, I can fly. Currently, I can only fly in a zero-gravity field, but the flight isn't powered by my own magnetic field, so the speed can exceed the speed of sound.

"That's all I understand about my abilities. If you have any questions, feel free to ask as I have more things to say."

As soon as Yan Luo finished speaking, all the reporters below raised their hands, and viewers also furiously sent messages hoping to be chosen by Yan Luo.

His gaze swept over the rapidly moving messages, and Yan Luo raised his hand to choose one reporter, "You."

The selected reporter stood up excitedly and immediately asked Yan Luo, "Could you please tell us about your blood? Why does it allow Hunters to resist the demons' anti-magic superpowers?"

Yan Luo answered, "I will answer this question later, as it pertains to my body constitution, which I will cover along with other topics. Please sit down."

Afterward, Yan Luo chose another reporter to stand up.

The second reporter asked: "Since your blood has such effects, do your bone marrow and muscles have other functions as well?"

"I am not sure about the muscles, and the matter of the bone marrow will also be addressed later," Yan Luo answered.

Quickly, Yan Luo picked a third reporter, who immediately asked: "Yan Luo, how potent is your sexual ability?"

While other reporters were astonished, Yan Luo replied without hesitation: "I'm not sure, I haven't tested it; I'm still a virgin."

This answer drew the attention back to Yan Luo, amazed at his response.

But... this truly is something Yan Luo would do.

"Alright, this ends the first phase of the questioning session. I'll continue discussing my body constitution."

Yan Luo carefully chose his words and said: "Before explaining my body constitution, I need to discuss some issues—more than eight thousand years ago, Blue Star cut ties with the Abyss. Ever since then, the magic power on Blue Star has been diminishing, but it wasn't until a bit over two thousand years ago that the magic environment declined to an extent that wouldn't support the appearance of 'Saints'. Now, you might be wondering why I suddenly discuss these outrageous things, but unfortunately, these aren't wild words; they are events that actually transpired!"

After saying this, Yan Luo took out a metal plate and placed a Magic Crystal on top.

Light immediately projected from the metal plate, showing everyone present, and those watching the news conference, the historical events from more than eight thousand years ago.

After the projection ended, Yan Luo continued, "What I just displayed were actual events from more than eight thousand years ago, when the Tower of Babel built on Everest was destroyed by Gong Gong, and people from all over the world returned to their homelands, symbolizing the self-recession of the once glorious ancient Blue Star Civilization. But that tower wasn't only the center of the ancient Blue Star Civilization; it was also a tidal brake, so 'the earth sinks southeast while the sky tilts northwest', bringing great floods worldwide. To restore the tidal environment to normal, Nuwa led a professional team to fly into outer space and adjusted the moon into the form we see today.

"You must be wondering why the ancient Blue Star Civilization possessed such powerful strength. It's simple: most of the engravings we use are left from the ancient Blue Star Civilization. It was only until the ninth to tenth century AD that the magic environment declined to the point where it could no longer support Engravers. The Cross Sect thus rose, and the Central Plains entered the dark era of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

"—This is the true history of our world!"
