Zhu Yao thought that the mission this time would be very simple. Wasn't it just moving houses? But when he truly arrived at the Nether Abyss, he realized that he was too naive.
The sudden awakening of the Black Tortoise caused the changes in this world to become more and more intense. Everywhere was affected, but the one affected the most was the Land of Sealed Demons. After the seal was broken the last time, the Devil Race once again rushed out of the seal. The God Race, who had already suffered heavy losses, retreated step by step. They had no choice but to retreat to the Nether Abyss to prevent the Devil Race from merging with the Devil Qi inside.
When Yue Gu and Zhu Yao rushed over, the devastation of the scene could no longer be described with words. The entire place was filled with Devils shrouded in black smoke, and Gods bathed in blood as they fought fiercely. The Divine Race had been forced to the point where they had nowhere to retreat, and the number of the Devil Race was increasing, as if they could never be killed off.
Yue Gu summoned down countless heavenly lightning bolts, before opening up a bloody path and charging in.
"There's no time. Let's go to the Black Tortoise's Dantian."
Zhu Yao nodded. Releasing her divine sense, she faintly sensed that there was something calling out to her in front of her right, and she immediately flew in that direction. It was not until she arrived that she realized it was a pool. It was only the size of an ordinary swimming pool, and the water was not very deep. It was so clear that one could see the bottom.
As soon as she walked in, the entire pool lit up with a white light. There were even faint flashes of lightning. The divine power was so dense that it seemed to be materializing. This was the divine power of the Black Tortoise! Zhu Yao was a little startled. Compared to the one she received when she repaired the seal back then, it was hundreds or even thousands of times stronger.
There wasn't much time left. Zhu Yao quickly walked a few steps, and just as she was about to enter the center of the pool and accept the godly energy to open the World Crossing Door, a terrified voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Little sister!" Shao Bai suddenly appeared beside the pool and stared at her nervously. "What are you doing?"
Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat. She knew that she would definitely meet Shao Bai here, but she didn't know that she was here to swim. Did he believe it?
"I want to open the Heaven Crossing Gate."
"World Crossing Heavenly Gate!" Shao Bai stared blankly, as if he'd thought of something, and the blood drained from his face completely. After a while, the corners of his mouth moved, revealing a smile that was warm like jade as usual, and he stretched out a hand. "How could opening the Heaven Entrance be such an easy thing? Little sister. Be obedient! Come out first. "
Zhu Yao gritted her teeth, and decided to ignore his words. Turning around, she walked towards the pool. The Black Tortoise had already started transferring its divine power. How could she go out now?
"Little Sister!" Shao Bai shouted. His voice was no longer calm, but filled with panic. Just as he was about to enter the pool, he was forced back by the dense lightning in the water. "Do you know what you're doing?"
"I know." Zhu Yao sat cross-legged at the very center of the pool, and smiled at him. "I'm saving you."
"We don't need you to save us." Shao Bai became even more anxious. He cast a spell and stepped into the pool with difficulty. He reached out to her again. "Little sister, listen to me. Second Brother swears that no matter what happens, I will protect you. Can you come out first? "His voice was getting deeper and deeper. Towards the end, there was a hint of pleading in his voice.
Having a big brother who doted on her so much, Zhu Yao was a little touched. However, if they did not open the Gate of Heaven, they would not be able to survive. So in the end, she still made a profit.
"Little sister, I'm begging you."
"…" Zhu Yao sighed. She suddenly recalled how Shao Bai was willing to use his blood to attack when she was still an egg, just to protect her. She was so lucky to have such a brother, but …
"Shao Bai, actually, I'm not a phoenix." Zhu Yao gathered godly energy, and formed an illusory image of her original form. It was a green-furred tortoise, and the shadow of a snake could be faintly seen coiling around its body. "I'm a Black Tortoise, not your little sister."
"Whether you're my little sister or not has nothing to do with your race." Shao Bai refuted, and continued to persuade her. "Second Brother doesn't care what you are? As long as you don't leave my side, that's enough. So, listen to me … and come out, alright? "
Haah … Zhu Yao sighed, and scolded with a smile. "You sis-con. Actually, I'm clearly older than you. I've simply stayed in the egg for too long. "
"Then I'll change my words." Shao Bai was unexpectedly easy to talk to. "As long as you come out, I'll promise you anything."
"You still don't understand? Shao Bai. " Zhu Yao released her divine sense, and began to receive the ancient godly energy in the pool. "The Black Tortoise has always been an existence that serves as the cornerstone of the world. I'm a Black Tortoise, so naturally, I'm one as well. One day, I will transform into this world, and fall into a deep slumber. Right now, I'm merely using a different method. "
"I don't care about that!" Shao Bai's expression instantly changed. Boundless rage was currently spreading out, as he approached her step by step against the lightning pressure. "I only know that you're my little sister. If this world truly needs saving, it won't be your turn. "
Shao Bai insisted on pulling her out, and a hint of madness could be faintly seen in his eyes. As though he was a wild beast whose bottom line had been touched, the warmth and gentleness he had in the past, had completely turned into ruthlessness and madness.
However, how could the lightning formed from godly energy be so simple? In just a few moments, his body was already filled with wounds, yet, he did not stop.
Zhu Yao was trembling with fear as she watched.
"Don't come any closer." Zhu Yao was a little anxious. "This world is already doomed. As long as the Heavenly Door is opened, everyone can be saved."
"Then what about you?" He raised his head, and stared straight at her.
"Uh …" Of course, she had logged off. Could it be that he knew the consequences of forcefully opening the Heavenly Door, and was trying his best to stop her?
"If saving the world requires your life as the price, then what's the point of saving it?" Shao Bai's surrounding aura instantly changed, becoming even more chaotic. The eyes he looked at her with were filled with a strange sorrow. His current appearance, was exactly the same as that skinny little child when they first met. "Little sister, you clearly know that second elder brother only has you left. If even you're not around as well, then even if everyone is saved, what's the point? "
Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat. Only at this moment did she realize that he had never walked out from that experience of being abandoned. No matter how gentle his smile was on the surface, he was simply hiding it even deeper. That was a scar that could flare up at any moment. As long as his lightning spot was touched, it could flare up. And she seemed to be that lightning spot.
"I'll be fine. I promise. "She would be reborn, after all.
"You can't promise!" He had already walked to her side, and pulled her into his embrace, as though he was going to strangle her. Burying his head into the side of her neck, he said with emphasis on every single word. "You promised that you wouldn't abandon me."
Zhu Yao felt as though she had once again returned to that dark, sunless place. There was a skinny little child who was tightly hugging onto an egg, as though he was holding onto the belief that he was going to live on, unwilling to let go.
Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, she hated herself a little. Why did she not notice Shao Bai's abnormality even after such a long time? Actually, she should have noticed it long ago. Though he treated people gently on the surface. However, other than her, he had actually maintained a distance from everyone else. He was not even close to her mother, Qian Yu. And because of her early hatching, he hated Little Sixth even more.
He was still the one who treated her as his only support. The child who maintained hostility towards the world, and treated her as a child with life.
But …
Zhu Yao gritted her teeth. A white light flashed in her palm, and she pushed Shao Bai away. The lightning in the pool instantly disappeared. Though, her entire body seemed to be hidden within layers of lightning. She had never felt such immense godly energy in her body.
Without hesitation, she quickly made a few hand seals and formed a formation with her palm facing down. With her palm facing downwards, she instantly released all of her godly energy.
"No!" Shao Bai, who was sent flying several hundred meters away, shouted out with a face filled with fear.
In an instant, a golden light shone brightly, and within a radius of thirty meters, a heavenly pillar rose into the sky. It directly pierced through the sky, and in an instant, the entire sky distorted. Countless foreign illusions appeared in the sky like projections. There were lush forests, bustling streets, and blessed lands filled with practitioners … Every single one of them represented a world within the Three Thousand Worlds.
The Heavenly Door opened —
The sounds of battle between Gods and Devils instantly stopped. Everyone raised their heads to look at this strange scene.
With a twist of her hand, Zhu Yao once again cast an art. Within the pillar of light, rays of golden light were instantly formed, heading towards the various Gods and living beings. After the golden light caught onto them, they turned into things that looked like soap bubbles, and flew towards the opened Heavenly Door.
Zhu Yao's godly energy was rapidly disappearing, and she could only barely support the Heavenly Door, trying her best to allow as many living beings to pass through the Heavenly Door. As for which world they would end up in after entering the Heavenly Door, that was not something she could predict.
"Little sister!" Shao Bai was trapped in the soap bubble as well, as he tried to get out. After all, Zhu Yao had inherited the Black Tortoise's ancient godly energy, so how could she let him out? Instead, she cast an art, and had him float towards the Heavenly Door.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Door, Shao Bai's eyes instantly turned crimson. He struggled with all his might, and even disregarded his own injuries, attacking the bubble that was already small in the first place. However, half of his strength was reflected back. Zhu Yao grew more anxious the more she watched, and her movements slowed down by quite a bit. This madman.
Zhu Yao calmed her heart, and planned to forcefully drag him over.
Suddenly, the red light within the bubble shone brightly. With a pop, the bubble burst, and with a cry that resounded through the clouds, an entirely pitch-black phoenix flew into the sky. Streaks of black water slowly flowed around its body.
Zhu Yao was completely dumbfounded.
This was Shao Bai!?
How did he transform?
That black phoenix merely appeared for an instant. After Shao Bai broke out of the bubble, he returned to his human form, and flew towards her, attempting to stop her from continuing to open the Heavenly Door. However, he was stopped by a white figure.
"Yue Gu!" Shao Bai's face was filled with cold intent. "You dare to stop me?"
"This is my disciple's own choice."
Shao Bai's anger seemed to be about to materialize, as he immediately attacked him. "You can watch as she dies, but I can't!" He flung an icicle over. "I'm going to save her. Those who stop me, die!"
Zhu Yao simply focused on supporting the Heavenly Door, until all of the bubbles had passed through the Heavenly Door. Only the two people in the sky, and the Devils that filled the sky, remained.
At that moment, she even had the mood to curse out loud. Momma's egg, was this the time for internal strife? Yet, the two of them were fighting against the Devils while happily fighting.
"Teacher, let him come over." Zhu Yao retracted a strand of godly energy, and sent a voice transmission to Yue Gu in the sky. Shao Bai was already flying straight towards her.
"Little sister, hurry …"
Zhu Yao flung a wind art over, and before he could even react, she pulled the devilish brat into the pillar of light. She shouldn't be reasoning with him at a time like this.
Shock, fear, heartache, disappointment, unwillingness, and many other emotions flashed across Shao Bai's face. His figure, however, slowly disappeared into the pillar of light.
Only then did Zhu Yao puke out a mouthful of blood. She constantly released her godly energy, and she felt as though her entire body was about to be torn apart.
"Teacher, hurry and go in!" She couldn't hold on for much longer.
Yue Gu however did not reply. He simply reached out his hand towards her from afar, and did a patting action on her head. He then turned to look at the Devils that had already occupied the entire sky. "I can't leave."
"Teacher!" Zhu Yao grew anxious.
"I'm the last Primordial God in this world. The Heavenly Dao will not allow me to leave." Her teacher still had a calm expression on his face, as though he was not discussing a matter of life and death. Raising the corner of his lips, he suddenly gave her an extremely stunning smile. "Disciple, I will accompany you."
She suddenly sensed a familiar wave of divinity energy ripple, coming from Yue Gu's direction. An enormous wave of divinity energy spread out in all directions like fireworks, and wherever it went, the Devils turned into ashes in an instant.
Zhu Yao's godly energy had already dried up, and the Heavenly Door closed along with it. The familiar darkness began to invade her, and she suddenly recalled what Yue Gu's mystic art was.
Devil Smiting Inscription, the only mystic art in this world that could exterminate Devils. Her teacher said that he could only use it twice in his entire life, and this was the second time.
At the very last second before she closed her eyes, she faintly heard him sigh.
