Saying back to Mu Jieyu and Ye Cang.

Under Mu Jieyu's leadership, the two advanced bravely, overcoming all obstacles.

Mu Jieyu was like a butterfly dancing on the battlefield, slaying six Illusion Beasts in a row.

Ye Cang complained impatiently, "Jieyu, can you leave just one Illusion Beast for me? If not, how about half?" Mu Jieyu glanced at Ye Cang, then continued to look around, preventing a silent Illusion Beast sneak attack. "What nonsense are you talking about? Xier told me before she left to bring you back to the Hyperdimensional Fortress completely intact."

"Jieyu... but, you can't let my score be like carrying a big goose egg back to the fortress, right?"

Mu Jieyu asked, puzzled, "Goose egg? What goose egg?"

"A goose egg means, you can't let my score be zero, right? At least give me a four or five-point score, right?"

Mu Jieyu refused with a serious expression, "No! No matter what, I have to bring you back to the fortress safely."

As soon as she finished speaking, the ground suddenly split between Mu Jieyu and Ye Cang!

Forcibly separating the two of them.

Mu Jieyu was calm and collected, and after quickly stabilizing her body, she was about to jump towards Ye Cang.

Suddenly! A building crashed directly towards Mu Jieyu.

Mu Jieyu was just about to jump and head towards Ye Cang. Who knew that this building would block her path.

At the same time, behind Ye Cang, a round, gray vortex suddenly appeared, and the powerful suction instantly sucked Ye Cang into it.

By the time Mu Jieyu freed herself, Ye Cang had already disappeared without a trace.

A few minutes later, the gray vortex reappeared, teleporting Ye Cang to another part of the battlefield.

Ye Cang stood up and observed the surrounding environment as he walked.

"Strange! The buildings here don't look like those from ancient agricultural times. On the contrary, these dilapidated buildings and ruins are more like the modern world. Could it be... that I was teleported to another nebula by the gray vortex just now?"

Ye Cang quickly opened the communication data device on his wrist, trying to contact Mu Jieyu or Xier.

"Damn it! No way! What kind of hyperdimensional high-tech is this! It's showing no root signal!"

Just as Ye Cang was feeling puzzled and frustrated, he suddenly heard an elderly woman in front of him begging for help in a hoarse, weak voice.

"Help! Please, kind people, save me..."

Ye Cang teleported to the elderly woman.

He saw that the old woman's legs were being crushed by a three-meter-long boulder, and she couldn't free herself.

With the situation urgent, Ye Cang stood up and punched the boulder.

Bang!

With a crisp and loud explosion, the boulder was instantly shattered into powder by Ye Cang's punch.

Ye Cang bent down to look at the old woman's legs, "Grandma, your legs are badly injured. Let me carry you home."

Along the way, Ye Cang carried the old woman on his back and asked, "Grandma, where is this?"

The old woman replied, "This is Duhai Nebula. This city is called Ping City."

Ye Cang was shocked, "What! I was actually teleported to some nebula or other. Are you kidding me!"

The old woman then asked Ye Cang, "Young man, what's your name, and where do you live?"

Ye Cang smiled indifferently, "Me... My name is Ye Cang, Ye of the night, Cang of the sky. I have no home, nor do I have a hometown. In this empty world, like a ray of setting sun, the remaining light is scattered."

The old woman chuckled and said, "Hehe... how can that be, young man. Each of us has a home that belongs to us. Even though... our little homes, whether rich or poor, are still the harbor where we shelter from the wind and the place we want to protect in our lives."

"There... there are people we love, and people who love us. There are people we care about, and people who care about us. What do people spend their lives for? It's so that the person in our heart can be safe, happy, and carefree."

"Young man... is there anyone you want to protect?"

Ye Cang smiled softly, "Me... I don't have any. My hometown, my parents, have all been destroyed by the Illusion Beasts. Now I'm alone, like a dandelion scattering wantonly, seemingly free and unrestrained, but... involuntarily."

At this moment... the setting sun has already fallen, and the vermilion is mottled.

Our lives, each and every one of us! Sometimes... falling alone into the universe, like withered leaves floating, duckweed swaying. Looking back at three thousand flurries of snow, but there is no fellow traveler in the world.

"Young man, I'm home."

Ye Cang hurriedly stopped, and he carefully put the old woman down.

After looking around, he found that the vicinity was already riddled with holes, and the surrounding dozens of miles were all scorched earth ruins.

"Grandma, are you sure this is it?"

The old woman nodded very surely, "Young man, seeing that you are alone, why don't you come into my house and sit down? What do you think?"

Ye Cang sighed, helped the old woman up, and walked into the house. "Grandma, who else is in your family?"

After the old woman entered the house, Ye Cang casually picked up a stool and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman took the stool and sat down, then pointed to the girl lying on the bed and said with joy, "Look, that's my granddaughter, her name is Tianxing, and she's sixteen years old this year."

"Three years ago, an Illusion Beast attacked this city. Tianxing's father was killed by the Illusion Beast in order to protect us, and my granddaughter was injured in the spine by the Illusion Beast, so she has been paralyzed in bed for the past three years. As for Tianxing's mother, after my son was killed by the Illusion Beast, she abandoned Tianxing and ran away."

After the old woman finished speaking, Ye Cang looked at the old woman.

The old woman's face, old and wrinkled, was full of wrinkles. Even so, the wrinkles could not hide the old woman's kindness and strength. The sunken eyes were bright and energetic.

Ye Cang was about to say something to show his comfort, but the words were on his lips, but he didn't know how to comfort the old woman.

At this moment, Tianxing, who was paralyzed in bed, said with a tense and sad expression, "Grandma, your legs... how are your legs injured?"

As she spoke, Tianxing began to cry.

Ye Cang hurriedly helped the old woman up and sat down in front of Tianxing's bed. The old woman stroked her granddaughter's face with one hand, while wiping away the girl's crystal tears, "Oh, look... I'm already old, and walking is not very convenient in the first place."

"On the way home today, the nearby building enclosure suddenly collapsed and hit my legs. Fortunately, this young man passed by and carried me back."

While crying, Tianxing was still trying to move her arms, which she couldn't lift at all.

"Grandma... it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, Grandma would have escaped from Ping City long ago. That way, Grandma wouldn't have had her legs injured by the stones."
