Chapter 367 - 288: Jiu Yue’s Wish, That Afternoon, Xiao Ying Is Dead (2)
"Three years later, the Soul Refining Demon Venerable will invade Galaxy University, and Old Yan will die in that battle. Xiaolong and Jiu Yue, you will start wandering the stars and will join my Adventurer Team thirty years later."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over each member of the Feiyan Class: "So, after arriving in the Sixth Cosmos, I dare not alter the timeline easily anymore. Even the smallest change might trigger unforeseeable consequences. A tiny butterfly flaps its wings, and it could cause a storm on a distant planet... and we cannot afford such a cost."
Everyone’s hearts felt heavy, and they fell into silence for a while.
If everything Bai Ze said was true, then she had already experienced the destruction of five Parallel Cosmoses, and now arriving in the Sixth Cosmos also meant that the Phoenix of the previous life couldn’t escape the fate of being defeated by the Demon Dragon.
"Old Yan, when did you awaken to the Phoenix Power?" Bai Ze asked curiously.
Xiao Ying replied candidly: "There was a line of runes on the box; when that Demon Venerable stole the gemstone, the blurred runes suddenly awakened, and I became aware of the hidden power within me."
He did not hide this information, and he also felt perplexed about his resurrection and the strange features of the Box of Silence.
Bai Ze recorded the information on the Box of Silence.
...
[——The Box of Silence seals all the power to destroy the universe, its name is Dragon of the End. Do not open the seal, for everything you cherish will turn to nothingness.]
[Remember, the only way to save the world is to let @*&%...——First Generation Ashen Envoy North.]
...
"Box of Silence? Dragon of the End? First Generation Ashen Envoy North?"
Bai Ze fell into deep thought.
"As far as I know, the messengers of the Universe’s Three Ultimate Powers do not include this ’Ashen Envoy North’... could there be other messengers..."
"The only way to save the world is to let..." Bai Ze looked at Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying shook his head, unable to translate this message.
Jiu Yue suddenly spoke:
"Big White, since we can’t find traces of the Blood Lotus Demon Venerable in the universe, obviously he’s either in the Abyssal Dimension or outside the cosmos. Can we find the Primordial Gemstone in advance, and then let Master Yan use the power of the seven Primordial Gems to defeat the Demon Dragon?"
Bai Ze nodded: "That is indeed one of my plans. After Old Yan awakens, we will immediately set out to find the whereabouts of the other two Primordial Gems."
Yu Long raised his hand, his voice low: "I have a question... is that legend true? The one about offering a Primordial Gemstone to the Abyssal Dimension achieving all wishes. Even... resurrecting people who have been dead for decades?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Yue’s eyes lit up abruptly, staring closely at Bai Ze, full of hope. Yu Yao and Zi You also looked up, their expressions filled with undisguisable longing.
Everyone harbors some regrets, some pasts that cannot be undone, and Yu Long’s question undoubtedly touched their deepest wishes.
Bai Ze’s gaze slowly swept over the crowd, his expression becoming serious and stern: "Of course it’s false."
This statement was like a cold shower, instantly extinguishing the light in their eyes. Yu Long’s expression froze, Jiu Yue’s shoulders slumped slightly, and Yu Yao and Zi You also lowered their heads, a feeling of disappointment spreading through the air.
However, just as everyone’s moods were low, Bai Ze’s tone suddenly changed, softly laughing:
"One Primordial Gemstone truly cannot achieve that. But if you gather all eight Primordial Gems, just a snap of fingers can restart the Eight Great Parallel Cosmoses."
"Like this." Bai Ze leaped onto the round table, raised her chin slightly, lifted a hand toward the sky, and snapped her fingers crisply and precisely.
"Snap—"
"As easy as pie." Her voice was light and playful, with a childlike sense of pride. She stood at the center of the round table, her small frame exuding a boundless momentum.
"I bear the trust of my partners from five Parallel Cosmoses; I must return Bai Ze’s people to their rightful Parallel Cosmoses. I, Bai Ze the Lord, will not go back on my word!"
"Understood."
Yu Long took a deep breath, clenching his fists suddenly, his voice filled with suppressed anger and hatred: "My father died on White Brilliance Star, that Blood Lotus Demon Venerable fellow... I will defeat you!"
Yu Yao followed, saying: "Afterwards, we will resurrect our father."
Zi You stood aside, a faint smile tugging at his lips, his fingers lightly caressing the dimly glowing amethyst pendant on his chest, voice low:
"I’m the last survivor of the Purple Crystal Race. The awakened ones in our race can be refined into a special mineral, ’Energy Amethyst,’ which not only stores vast amounts of energy but is also the top-grade material for crafting Purple Gold Mecha Masters."
"Therefore, my Mother Star... was destroyed by the Xuanyin Demon Venerable’s legion. I remember vividly, as a child, fleeing in a cosmic capsule, the fireworks when the planet exploded... they were truly the most beautiful sight in the universe."
Jiu Yue silently lowered her head.
"It turns out everyone..." Yu Yao noticed her discomfort, "Jiu Yue, what’s your wish?"
Jiu Yue didn’t answer immediately, but merely kept her head down, silent for a moment.
"I must return!"
She lifted her head, voice quiet but carrying an indescribable firmness.
Bai Ze stood on the round table, clearly understanding what Jiu Yue meant, her small hand gently patting Jiu Yue’s head, her gaze sweeping over each person:
"Your wishes, I, Bai Ze, will remember them."
