On the fifteenth day of the third month, the scorching temperature of the Crimson Abyss finally began to cool down slowly. However, there was still a cloud of smoke rising into the sky. Within the cloud of smoke, beams of golden energy slowly gathered and flew towards Lin Muyu's body as if they were being summoned. They plated on his legs, abdomen, and the rocks on the surface of his body. He was still in the state of slow petrification. At this moment, Lin Muyu had almost given up on all cultivation. He only wanted to try his best to collect everything that Qin Yin had left behind in the Crimson Abyss.
However, Lin Muyu could only collect the fragments of the Celestial Dragon Crystal. What made him feel that something terrible had finally happened. In the Crimson Abyss, Qin Yin's aura became fainter and fainter as time passed, to the extent that he almost couldn't catch it anymore.
"Rustle, rustle …"
The sound of footsteps came from the rock stratum that had solidified not long ago. A group of people walked out from the cloud of smoke. It was Feng Jixing, Qin Yan, Wei Chou, Chu Yao, and the others. They had all arrived.
As soon as she saw Lin Muyu's half-petrified appearance, Chu Yao couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. Hot tears flowed out of her eyes. She walked straight forward and hugged Lin Muyu's already hardened body. She wailed loudly, "Yu … Yu, don't be like this … I … Yu …"
Feng Jixing carried his Windcutter and walked forward with a grave expression. He frowned and said, "Yu, Her Highness has already passed away. Why do you have to be like this? Besides … the Empire still needs you. The Demon Race has not been destroyed and the Yihe Nation is still in the ascendant. With Her Highness gone, the Empire needs someone to take charge. Although Ah Yan has the Qin bloodline, he is still too young and inexperienced. You are the former Emperor's foster son and Her Highness Yin's brother. If you continue to sink like this, the Empire's future will be bleak.
Heroes will rise up and we will enter a truly chaotic world! "Lin Muyu slowly raised his head and glanced at Feng Jixing with his lifeless eyes. He replied in a very dull voice," Brother Feng … Xiao Yin was killed by Xiao Xi … I want to stay here with her. I want to do everything I can to find Xiao Yin's Spirit … "
"But …"
Feng Jixing frowned and said, "If Her Highness Ying was still alive, she would definitely not want you to do this. Ah-Yu, you are the future ruler of the Empire, how can you waste your time here?"
"Brother Feng, you don't understand." Lin Muyu took a deep breath. Streams of King's fighting flame appeared on the surface of his body, protecting his life force. He looked at Feng Jixing and then at Chu Yao and said, "From the day I met Xiao Yin, I knew that she was my destiny. I can't escape, I can't hide. I'll leave the Empire's matters to Brother Feng and Ah Yan. I want … I want to find Xiao Yin and bring her back …"
"Brother …"
Qin Yan's tears rolled down. He knelt in front of Lin Muyu and said, "Brother, when will you come back? How can General Feng and I support such a large Empire?"
"When I find Xiao Yin, I will naturally come back." Lin Muyu slowly closed his eyes and said, "The poisonous air in the Blood Red Abyss is too strong. You should leave. Don't stay here and let the smoke damage your body."
Chu Yao was the chief deacon of the Spirit Medicine Division. She naturally knew that the smoke in the Blood Red Abyss contained a strong poison. This was also one of the reasons why Lin Muyu's skin was black and his body was gradually turning to stone. But she had no choice. Just as Lin Muyu said, Qin Yin was his destiny. He had to stay here and could only stay here to search for Qin Yin's return.
Wei Chou kicked the broken rocks on the ground. He was somewhat angry but didn't dare to explode. He said in a low voice, "Daren, General Feng is leading three hundred thousand elite troops of Seven Seas City to attack Swift White Province's Sunset City. I am also leading the Longdan Army Camp to attack Sky Province. Soon, His Highness Qin Yan will lead the Imperial Army to Tian Shu Province to defend against the advance troops of the Demon Race. Daren, I hope you wake up soon."
"En."
Lin Muyu opened his eyes again and looked at Feng Jixing, saying, "Big Brother Feng, there are no remnants of Xiao Xi's aura in the Blood Red Abyss. I suspect that Xiao Xi is still alive. Help me find her. I want to ask Xiao Xi why she wanted to kill Xiao Yin and why she went back on the oath she made back then."
"En, I will!"
Feng Jixing took a deep breath and knelt down on one knee towards Lin Muyu. He cupped his fists and said, "Since Your Highness Yu is temporarily unwilling to leave, then Feng Jixing and Qin Yan will lead the army to attack Lingnan and recover the lost land. I hope that Your Highness Yu will return soon! I will come see you again! "
"En, everyone go."
Lin Muyu slowly closed his eyes. The smoke in the Blood Red Abyss once again slowly fell on his face and eyelashes, speeding up the process of his body turning into stone.
Chu Yao stood up and wiped away her tears, saying, "Yu, I will wait for your return in Lanyan City."
Everyone left.
Lin Muyu still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee and holding the sword with one hand. The tattered cloak pieces that were blown away by the strong wind no longer moved. Instead, they fused with the stone and remained frozen in the air. In the surroundings, specks of faint golden starlight danced in the Blood Red Abyss, but in the end, they were all directed at Lin Muyu's hand that was holding the sword. Rays of golden light lingered around the Stars Sword and seeped into Lin Muyu's body.
… …
A few days later, thunder rumbled in the sky. Rays of golden light flickered in the sky above Bai Ling City. It was the Oracle! No … it was the descent of the God's Truth. Only the God of Heaven could descend upon the mortal world with such an earth-shattering aura. The dark night sky was brightly illuminated. The smoke in the Blood Red Abyss was poisonous, so Bai Ling City had almost become a wasteland. People left their homeland one after another, but there were still some scavengers looking at the sky in the middle of the night. They were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a spectacle in their entire lives!
A beautiful figure stepped on the clouds and arrived above the Blood Red Abyss step by step. It was a beautiful fairy. Her face was exquisite and flawless, her skin was white as cream, and her figure was graceful. She could be said to be a peerless beauty. However, the pieces of soft armor that covered her body and the sharp sword in her hand let people know that this fairy was a sharp and unapproachable person.
The person who came was Ziyao, the number one God Emperor under the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor.
Ziyao's beautiful eyes looked at Lin Muyu, who was slowly petrifying in the Blood Red Abyss. She couldn't help but feel sad. She floated down and stepped into the Blood Red Abyss with golden Oracle halos. The sound of her exquisite and small battle boots stepping on the rock stratum woke Lin Muyu up.
"Who are you?" Lin Muyu asked indifferently. She wasn't moved by Ziyao's powerful God Emperor power.
Ziyao held her longsword and walked forward step by step. The surrounding poisonous smoke retreated automatically, as though it was afraid of her. Ziyao stared at Lin Muyu, whose lower body was already wrapped in rocks. She said, "Yu, are you really going to petrify in this void?"
"I'm not."
Lin Muyu slowly opened his palm. Rays of golden power were enshrouded in it. He muttered, "Xiao Yin's power will guide me to her … I can definitely do it."
Ziyao couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She was amused and touched. She said, "Silly boy, do you think the Celestial Dragon Crystal can guide you to Xiao Yin?"
"Who … who are you exactly?"
Ziyao bowed and said, "I'm one of the God Emperors under the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor, Fairy Ziyao."
"Ziyao …"
Lin Muyu looked up at her and said, "You … you're a God Emperor. You must know where Xiao Yin is. You must know how to resurrect Xiao Yin. Am I right, Ziyao? Tell me!"
"No." Ziyao shook her head gently and said, "The cycle of life and death is an unchanging law. Even God Emperors can't control it. Back then, the Demon Emperor was able to resurrect you because he used his divine power to suppress your three spiritual and seven physical souls so that your soul wouldn't dissipate. Naturally, you could reconstruct your body. But now … can you still feel Qin Yin's aura in the Crimson Abyss? Her three spiritual and seven physical souls have already dissipated … Yu, give up. Qin Yin has already escaped into the cycle of reincarnation. Even God Emperors can't control this fact. Why are you still chasing after her so bitterly? "
"No, it can't be …"
Lin Muyu suddenly withdrew his palm and held the Celestial Dragon Crystal Spiritual Essence that he had collected. He said, "The power of the Celestial Dragon Crystal will guide me to her. I … I will definitely find Xiao Yin. She … she must be waiting for me somewhere …"
As he spoke, a stream of turbid blood flowed down from the corner of Lin Muyu's eyes. He could no longer shed tears. He could only shed tears of blood and rocks.
Ziyao's delicate body trembled. She bit her red lips and said, "Yu, do you really want to persist like this?"
"Fairy Ziyao." Lin Muyu looked at her and said, "I heard that once the Divine Truth of the Heaven Realm descends upon the Human Realm, it will consume a thousand years of cultivation. Did you come here just to tell me to give up?"
"Yes."
Ziyao nodded. "That's right. Qin Yin's three spiritual and seven physical souls have already dissipated. She might have already started a new cycle of reincarnation. You definitely won't be able to wait for her here. Yu, give up. Your innate talent and comprehension are outstanding. There's no need to ruin your cultivation here, right?"
"What message does the Demon Emperor want you to pass to me?"
"Heaven and Earth change, only the heart remains the same."
"Heaven and Earth change, only the heart remains the same … Heaven and Earth change, only the heart remains the same …" Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh miserably and said, "I think I understand what he means. Ziyao, thank you for coming. Go back and help me tell the Demon Emperor that he's waiting for me in the Heaven Realm. One day, I will ascend and stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the myriad of stars."
"Okay."
Ziyao bowed once again and said, "Then … this little girl will take her leave. Yu, take care."
"En."
Ziyao leaped up and soared into the sky. Rays of golden ring-shaped light lingered around her as she flew. In the blink of an eye, her speed became faster and faster. Finally, she broke through the restraints of space. Ziyao's figure disappeared and she had already entered another plane — Heaven Realm!
… …
"You're back? You've worked hard. "
In the Pond of Illusion, the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor stood there alone. His gaze was fixed on Lin Muyu in the Pond of Illusion. He frowned and said, "This silly boy, his Dao … what kind of Dao is it?"
Ziyao said softly, "Demon Emperor, didn't you say it yourself? Heaven and Earth change, only the heart remains the same. I think this sentence is most suitable for Lin Muyu. Heaven and Earth change, a lifetime of glory and splendor, even the great Dao Xiaoyao can't move his heart. Such a person is worthy to be your brother, Demon Emperor. "
"Hahahaha, that's right, that's right …"
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor clenched his fists and said, "Then … I'll wait for him in the Heaven Realm to stand shoulder to shoulder with me!"
