Chapter 357 - 285: The Observer Gemstone and Phoenix Are the Keys to Defeating the Blood Lotus Demon Dragon!
[The students of the Martial Arts Class suddenly started discussing in hushed tones, whispers spreading throughout the classroom.]
["Isn’t that Jiu Yue and Bai Ze? Haven’t they already broken through to the High-level Professional, becoming Children of Radiance? Why would they come to Feiyan Class to attend the lecture?" A student lowered his voice, full of doubt.]
["Don’t look down on Master Yan!" Another student immediately retorted, eyes filled with admiration, "Master Yan is a Purple Gold Professional, and furthermore, the only Martial Dao Practitioner! Even the principal pays special attention to him, personally fetching him back."]
["My friend often sees Master Yan drinking tea and chatting with the principal; their relationship is quite unique." Another student interjected.]
["Have you seen the latest report? This time the principal has single-handedly slain three Purple Gold Professionals under Xuanyin Demon Venerable!"]
[The graduation standard at Galaxy University is Tier Four Green Source, with High-level Professionals being outstanding graduates, and beyond that are Children of Radiance. Ninety percent of people never even touch the threshold of Fifth Rank Cyan Nether Professional in their lifetime.]
[Not to mention the peak of Professionals—Purple Gold.]
...
Galaxy University, Feiyan Class.
A breeze blew through the window.
Xiao Ying stood at the podium, his peripheral vision glancing at the short-haired woman in the corner, his expression distracted, his gaze slightly out of focus. Past memories surged like tides, with scenes flashing back in his mind.
Jiu Yue, was a splash of color across his eighteen years of mundane life on the Mother Star.
He still remembered the afternoon when sunlight streamed into the classroom.
He still remembered every second spent with her, especially the moment when they both looked up at the starry sky. The breeze stirred Jiu Yue’s black hair, carrying a faint fragrance, and at that moment, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
He still remembered punching day and night in a dimly lit room, roaring against natural Celestial Calamity on the Surface Layer, breaking through limits, until he finally had the ability to leave the Mother Star and gaze at the vast starry sky.
At that time, he harbored a craving for the unknown, coupled with longing for parents and Jiu Yue. He wanted to reach the end of the stars, find them, and ask why they left without saying goodbye, then have another conversation with them.
Now he finally understood.
On the scale of the universe, waiting for a message often takes centuries.
This parting is lifelong.
Not leaving any thoughts for this ordinary person who would be old in decades maybe was... the most compassionate decision.
"Jiu Yue..."
Xiao Ying murmured in his heart, swallowing back those unspoken words.
Seeing Jiu Yue again, despite thinking he would have a thousand words... his heart felt unprecedented peace at this moment.
Xiao Ying withdrew his thoughts, smiled to signal the new three classmates, and turned to continue lecturing.
Meanwhile.
Beside Jiu Yue, a petite child gazed at Xiao Ying on the podium in a white martial arts suit with a complex expression crossing its eyes. It then looked around, settling its gaze on the closest two young boys and girls.
In its heart, it mused:
"King Yu of this universe, now is just two little brats... who could expect that a century later, the only one in the universe capable of fighting the Blood Lotus Demon Venerable head-on would be an ordinary Martial Arts Teacher at Galaxy University."
The child’s gaze returned to Xiao Ying, carefully observing his every move. Its fingers unconsciously tapped the surface of the desk, pondering:
"Master Yan, at this moment, has only mastered the [Startled Swan Sword Point], has not yet come into contact with the Primordial Gemstone to awaken the [Phoenix Power], thereafter creating [Carefree Wanderings]."
"Everything is still timely."
It was called Bai Ze.
Not from the Milky Way Galaxy humans, but originating from other Parallel Cosmos, guarded collectively by the Four Gods of Apocalypse "Cosmic Center," her visit ahead of schedule to Galaxy University was to execute a plan to save the Eight Great Parallel Cosmos.
Five of the Eight Great Parallel Cosmos have already been destroyed, she still has three chances left.
It’s a long story.
Bai Ze was a citizen of the First Cosmos, once accidentally recognized by one of the Eight Great Primordial Gemstones "Observer" Gemstone, she left Cosmic Center, embarking on a journey through the stars, getting embroiled in a series of events.
Soul Refining Demon Venerable broke into Galaxy University, killing "Zhurong Mu Yan," becoming a refined incarnation, successfully plotted against Radiant White King, becoming Cancer of the Cosmos, attempting to invade Cosmic Center through White King, seeking to seize five Primordial Gemstones preserved there.
The governing holders of these Primordial Gemstones gathered together, went through arduous trials, Xuanming evolved into Power of the End, deploying "Black Nether Prison" finally incarcerated Soul Refining Demon Venerable, everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief.
A greater terror descended.
The vanished Blood Lotus Demon Venerable suddenly appeared, defeated Radiant Flame King, at this time Blood Lotus Demon Venerable completely controlled a Primordial Gemstone, also the Power of the End’s "Gem of Destruction," he shattered Black Nether Prison with his fist, descended on Cosmic Center, defeated all Guardians, successfully obtained five Primordial Gemstones,
afterwards, Blood Lotus Demon Venerable forcibly harnessed the power of six gemstones with his flesh body, killing Radiant Three Kings, Tianqi Four Gods, Immortal Nine Emperors.
Twilight of the Gods.
Universe shattered.
In the last moments before dying, Bai Ze activated the Power of Rules awakened from the Observer Gemstone, transmitting her "memory" to the equivalent in the next Parallel Cosmos.
The Bai Ze reborn resolved to alter the tragic future, implementing the "Salvation Plan," she discerned Soul Refining Demon Venerable’s conspiracy, saved "Zhurong Mu Yan" ahead of time, averting that fierce sacrifice.
Traversing the universe, gathering scattered companions, aiding them to surpass limits, elevate to Purple Gold Level, transmute into Radiance, visiting secluded Strongest in the Universe, persuading them to unite, successfully incarcerating Soul Refining Demon Venerable.
