"The barrier outside the tomb was destroyed by the heavenly lightning. What is he waiting for?" muttered Yang Jian, glaring at Gu Li, who still hadn't inserted the key into the keyhole.
In truth, Yang Jian had considered the possibility that there was a barrier around the tomb that they couldn't see. That was why he'd opened his third eye long ago. The Great Sage didn't just stand there. His fiery eyes scanned the tomb, but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
The barrier outside the tomb had been destroyed. There was no more barrier around it.
Gu Li still held the key without moving. They couldn't help but pay attention to him. "Don't you think this guy knows a bit too much?" Pu Jingwan looked at the motionless Gu Li. "A long time ago, he knew about the tomb's collapse and the location of the final key fragment. He also knew that many experts would rush to the tomb. Even if he's one of heaven's two chosen emperors, he knows a bit too much.
He knows a bit too much. "
That was the truth. Gu Li really did know a lot of information no one else knew.
The others didn't know why, but Ye Zichen knew. He knew most likely because of Gu Li, the Outsider, who stood behind him.
He'd lived in the First Era and experienced everything Ye Zichen and the others were about to experience.
Right now, he was simply telling Gu Li everything he'd experienced.
When he thought of Gu Li, Ye Zichen couldn't help but recall what the Outsider experts had told him.
The First Era had been destroyed!
Even the current Ye Zichen didn't dare imagine just how strong the Outsider's Gu Li was. How could the First Era, protected by someone like that, be destroyed just like that?
This was simply too shocking.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but glance over at Gu Li. Inexplicably, he recalled that even he'd forgotten who'd told him that Gu Li wasn't as despicable as he'd thought, and that he should deal with someone else in the future.
At the time, Ye Zichen hadn't taken Gu Li's advice to heart. He didn't think he'd ever get along with Gu Li.
But what was the result now? He was living harmoniously with Gu Li, and he'd even placed the precious key to the God Emperor's Tomb in his hands.
As for who that person was? Was it the white-robed Gu Zichen? Or was it the Assistant Star Han they'd met in the Outside...?
Suddenly, Ye Zichen's gaze froze. He didn't know why, but he couldn't remember the Auxiliary Star's name. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't even remember his identity. After that, he couldn't even remember where he'd come from.
"Who is that person?"
Ye Zichen couldn't help but question himself. No matter how he thought about it, it was as if all information about the Outside's Han Nan had been erased from his consciousness.
"Erased."
The Venerable Lord of Lingbao saw everything. He smiled bitterly and murmured to himself.
Ye Zichen had no memory of Han Nan from the Outside. This meant that the First Era had truly been destroyed, and Han Nan no longer existed in this world.
It was as if the destroyed first era had never existed. Since it didn't exist, how could there be any memories?
"Look, Gu Li is moving."
Even Ye Zichen, who'd been racking his brains to remember Han Nan, was drawn to the commotion. He looked in Gu Li's direction and saw that Gu Li had indeed moved. He gently placed the key into the keyhole, then turned it gently to the left.
Everyone heard a soft, crisp click from the tomb's keyhole. However, the door to the tomb didn't open. Gu Li took a few steps back, then stood in a slightly dark corner, leaving the tomb's main entrance open.
"Space is trembling."
Yang Jian's sharp senses detected the ripples in the void. When everyone looked up, they saw four pitch-black vortexes appearing in the sky above the tomb.
Dai Xiaoren knelt in the nine corners of the tomb, his eyes flashing with reverence. He looked up at the vortexes.
After a long while, the vortexes suddenly lit up.
The light grew increasingly dazzling, so much so that it almost eclipsed the blinding red light outside the barrier.
There were four stars.
Within the four pitch-black vortexes were four stars of different brilliance. Pu Jingwan suddenly pointed at the sky, and at that moment, Pu Jingwan suddenly pointed at the sky.
"Look, the Milky Way has appeared, but the Four Auxiliary Stars beside the Emperor Star have disappeared."
She looked up. The Immortal Region, which used to be so dark that night, was suddenly filled with dazzling stars.
The North Star was so dazzling that it was impossible to ignore it. However, its dazzling radiance gave off the impression that it was alone. When they looked closely, they saw that it was the Four Auxiliary Stars that had disappeared.
"Could it be ….."
Yang Jian's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at the four stars below the vortex. The Auxiliary Stars above the Milky Way had disappeared, but four stars had suddenly appeared here. Did that mean that these four stars were actually the four Auxiliary Stars?
The stars could actually move, and they even appeared right in front of them.
In the Modern Realm, when lovers confessed their love, men would always say, "Even if you wanted the moon, I'd pluck it for you."
Everyone knew that was just words of love. Who could pluck the moon from the sky?
Forget about ordinary people with no spiritual power in the Modern Realm, plucking the stars and grabbing the moon was an unattainable feat. Even for rulers like Ye Zichen, it was an unimaginable feat.
But now, it really did seem as if the Nirvana Stars had gotten out of their hands.
The Four Auxiliary Stars had appeared out of nowhere. Everyone within the barrier couldn't help but be shocked. Did their appearance also prove that the tomb's opening required them, the Four Great Auxiliary Stars?
Starlight scattered from the Auxiliary Stars. As the Emperor Star, Ye Zichen knew that this was starlight.
The Emperor Star's starlight was pure gold. The Four Auxiliary Stars' starlight was an elite bright silver. The Fated Star's was a grayish silver. As for the Multitude Stars' starlight, it was the most ordinary silver-white.
Bright silver starlight fell from these four stars, but this starlight did not completely fall to the ground.
Instead, it condensed in midair, forming four figures.
Even though Ye Zichen had already opened his celestial eyes, he still couldn't see clearly who these four people were. However, at that moment …..
The four people formed from starlight suddenly placed their right hands on their chests and knelt on one knee in the air. Their heads were all facing the same direction. What was even more shocking was that, at some point, the Howling Gorge had been filled with starlight.
Countless people made of starlight appeared in the gorge. It was as if they were ministers in ancient times meeting their king. They all knelt in front of the four Auxiliary Stars.
