Outside these events, Chu Tian was completely unaware.
Upon entering the main hall, he approached the crystal coffin.
Through the crystal, he saw the corpse lying within.
His entire being instantly stiffened.
It was indeed Miao Zuo!
His presence here proved his death.
But how could he have died here?
What exactly happened?
As a series of questions arose in his mind,
He seemed to see Miao Zuo, lying in the crystal coffin, suddenly open his eyes.
Two runes shot out from his pupils, entering Chu Tian’s own eyes.
However, Lin Qiaoqiao and Ling'er, beside Chu Tian, saw none of this.
Chu Tian was thus drawn into a golden space.
The entire space was filled with various runes.
“Boss, you’re here!”
A faint voice sounded behind Chu Tian.
Chu Tian spun around abruptly.
Behind him, a familiar figure stood there.
“Miao Zuo? You…”
“It’s me! Boss, it’s been a long time! I truly didn’t expect you to arrive! To let me see you one last time before this wisp of my soul finally fades!” Miao Zuo interrupted Chu Tian.
Chu Tian’s mouth opened.
Miao Zuo quickly continued.
“I know you have many questions, but time is short, listen to me!”
Having said that, he gave Chu Tian no opportunity to ask, and continued.
“I believe you’ve already seen the future in the flames, haven’t you?
Yes, we failed!
I… hehe, I was the first to fall in battle!
But, I didn’t back down, and before dying… I took hundreds of those beasts with me!
I know you have many questions, but boss, you must believe we still have a chance. We were too weak back then.
We couldn’t offer you any help at all.
We could only deal with the trash mobs.
Yet those trash mobs were like regenerating beings; no matter how many were killed, more would appear.
Relying only on you to fight those old fossils truly burdened you, and you endured too much for us.
However, the fact that you can see me proves our plan was successful.
Or rather, Grandpa Chu Batian’s plan succeeded!
Though the final battle remains uncertain.
At least, you should no longer be fighting alone this time.
This body is the physical manifestation of my ten thousand years of cultivation in this world. If you had arrived a thousand or a hundred centuries later, my last wisp of soul would have vanished, and this body would have turned to dust.
Now that you’ve come, take my body back and give it to the me who is still alive on Blue Star!
Then I can fight alongside you.
Oh, and boss, don’t forget to look for Zhao Lei and the others. Perhaps they are still alive, perhaps like me.
Even if they are alive, as long as you bring them to Blue Star,
Each of them will awaken the power of the Yin Spirit.
The combination of flesh and Yin Spirit, without distinction, without separation, all are of the same origin.
This is our last chance!”
Miao Zuo, standing before Chu Tian, though he spoke few words, it seemed with each sentence, he weakened,
His form gradually becoming transparent.
Chu Tian did not interrupt him.
Finally.
“Boss, thank you for everything you’ve done for us! It’s truly wonderful to see you alive…”
With these words, Miao Zuo’s body completely dissipated.
Chu Tian gazed at the empty space before him.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions.
“Did we fail? Did we ultimately fail?”
Although he had seen everything in the karmic fire,
Seen his companions fall one by one in the final battle,
Seen the one he loved most turn to ashes,
He believed the future could be changed.
Though his heart had rippled slightly,
It only strengthened his resolve to alter the future.
Upon meeting Miao Zuo,
He understood that these so-called futures had already occurred.
All his efforts had ultimately ended in failure.
Their battle against the Void God Realm ended in complete annihilation.
The space of runes slowly dissipated.
Chu Tian’s vision returned to the main hall.
Inside the crystal coffin lay Miao Zuo’s corpse, a faint smile on his lips, his signature grin.
“So, I truly can’t do it alone? Heh… If that’s the case, since you’ve arranged so much, then let us fight side by side!
Thank you, old brother!”
Chu Tian’s mood was heavy.
He knew the current time he was in.
Was likely tens of thousands of years after the great battle had concluded.
If calculated from the present time,
Blue Star must have ceased to exist by now.
Why hadn’t this Yin Yang Realm been invaded by the Void God Realm?
Was it because of its immense power, or some other reason?
As Chu Tian was lost in thought,
The sound of clanging and banging came from the entrance of the hall,
Pulling Chu Tian’s thoughts back, he sent out a scan with his divine sense.
His eyes immediately narrowed.
With a sweep of his hands, he directly absorbed the crystal coffin containing Miao Zuo into his divine platform.
Only then did he look up towards the hall entrance.
At this moment, Chu Tian’s face was filled with a grim expression.
His already uncomfortable state of mind, coupled with what his divine sense had perceived moments ago, caused his inner rage to erupt instantly.
It was as if the events unfolding outside had collided with his current mood.
He desperately craved a battle to vent his frustrations.
At the hall entrance, Lin Qiaoqiao, severely wounded, leaned against the wall, unconscious.
Ling'er’s shoulder bore a serious wound, blood flowing freely.
Only Lin Qingyuan remained.
Wearing a safety helmet and canvas shoes,
He brandished a rusty shovel, deflecting the attacks of dozens of people.
Fortunately, he guarded the hall entrance and was not surrounded.
His small frame exuded an aura of holding the pass against all comers.
However, in Chu Tian’s eyes, the young man couldn't hold on much longer.
The light emitted from his helmet, emblazoned with "Safety First," was almost imperceptible.
Even the canvas shoes on his feet, which aided his agile movements and speed, were now significantly boosted.
The rusty shovel in his hand was now stained with a considerable amount of blood.
This young man’s strength was mediocre, even inferior to some ordinary martial practitioners.
He relied on three treasures gifted by his grandfather.
To stubbornly defend the hall entrance.
Or rather, to defend him.
This was to prevent these people from entering and disturbing him.
This stirred an indescribable emotion in Chu Tian towards him.
“Kid, fall back, I’ll handle the rest!”
Chu Tian’s voice suddenly appeared.
The battle-crazed Lin Qingyuan, fighting like a demon,
Suddenly froze.
A person’s long saber struck him.
With a ‘ding’.
The light from the safety helmet blocked it.
However, precisely because of this strike, the yellow light emitted by the helmet completely vanished.
Chu Tian’s voice.
Caused the attackers targeting Lin Qingyuan to halt.
Chu Tian, at this moment, had already unleashed a green light.
It shot into Lin Qiaoqiao’s body.
He then knelt beside Ling'er.
“I’m alright, quickly go help Xiao Yuanzi!” Ling’er’s worried gaze finally eased upon seeing Chu Tian awake.
Chu Tian also cast a healing spell on her wound.
He nodded at her and said nothing.
Then, he slowly stood up and walked towards the hall entrance.
