314: Sword Light Returns Home

Between Calamity Chaos and the Universe, there is an invisible spatial barrier.

This barrier doesn't have any forced blocking capability.

Anyone can break into it.

Of course, if you enjoy the risk of being obliterated by the cataclysm in an instant.

---Ye Su and Lu Yiyi were quickly leaving the range of Calamity Chaos.

They survived!

This was an unimaginable outcome.

Ye Su was still immersed in the moment he saw Zhang Huai.

His mind was filled with the scenes of the City of Flesh and Blood.

This was the first time the timeline had given Ye Su such a powerful shock.

As for Lu Yiyi,

she quickly calmed down.

They survived.

But---the problem had also become much bigger!

The team exploring the cataclysm was wiped out, and only she survived?

How could this be explained?

A terrifying existence within Calamity Chaos saved her?

If she said that, she would likely be treated as a cataclysm spy, and even the Star Spirit Clan might not be able to protect her.

Of course, she could push everything onto Ye Su, using the Calamity Aura on him to help her get through this crisis.

But---it was too much of a loss!

Ye Su was her most important trump card.

Pushing Ye Su out meant losing the chance to gain a say in the Star Spirit Clan.

It would also push herself into the abyss.

After all, no matter what, she would be implicated.

Then...

There was only one way: flatly deny everything!

At the moment they were about to leave Calamity Chaos, Lu Yiyi gave a forceful push.

At the dividing line, the two completely separated.

“Quick, turn around and run!”

Lu Yiyi said to Ye Su.

Ye Su immediately realized.

And he saw her thoughts in Lu Yiyi's eyes.

Right!

Get your head back in the game; now is not the time to think about Li Huai.

The aftermath was too explosive.

An entire army.

Countless lives.

One Ascension Level Eight---who could bear the consequences?

Shing---the long saber unsheathed.

“Let's put on a show. Lu Yiyi, don't let the cat out of the bag!”

Puchi!

The long saber touched Lu Yiyi's chest.

Just a tiny bit away from her heart, leaving behind a wisp of the White Head Great Profound Scripture's Calamity Aura.

“Damn, does it have to be the heart? So ruthless!”

Lu Yiyi glared at Ye Su.

Then, the two parted.

Ye Su turned and walked toward Calamity Chaos.

While Lu Yiyi, her wound healing rapidly, walked toward the Universe!

Boom!!!

The Universe.

The moment Lu Yiyi appeared, there was an immediate reaction.

It was as if time and space were frozen.

A giant hand shimmering with starlight grabbed Lu Yiyi in an instant.

“Star Lord!”

“Put her down!”

“The only person who escaped from Calamity Chaos this time, put her down!”

One terrifying existence after another descended.

This space-time was almost crushed.

Lu Yiyi clutched her chest, offering no resistance against the starlight hand.

She only looked into the distance.

There seemed to be figures of starlight over there.

‘Old Ancestor, a Calamity Aura was planted in me, save me!’

Lu Yiyi's lips parted slightly, speaking in the ancient Star Spirit Language.

The starlight hand closed.

Firmly protecting Lu Yiyi inside.

“Get lost!”

“My clanswoman is seriously injured. Whatever plans you have, don't involve my clan's junior!”

The Star Lord quickly left with Lu Yiyi.

Heh heh.

Originally, he had also come to seize her.

But upon hearing Lu Yiyi's words;

Tsk tsk, a Calamity Aura planted?

This could provide important clues for the Universe to break through Calamity Chaos.

Hurry back; he couldn't share the spoils with others.

The other giants saw through it clearly.

You?

Keep it all for yourself?

Damn it.

Fight!

Time and space shattered as the old monsters clashed.

---“Back again.”

Ye Su was speechless.

Calamity Chaos wouldn't erode him; after all, he had the Calamity Aura.

It had to be said, Lu Yiyi's reaction was really fast.

If he appeared in the Universe, he would have exploded immediately.

Such a major incident happened to the exploration team; a small fry like him with no background would definitely be sliced up.

Instead, leaving a wisp of Calamity Aura on Lu Yiyi could serve to confuse the observers.

It would likely save Lu Yiyi.

After all, from the Universe's perspective, Lu Yiyi might be the first person to survive an attack in Calamity Chaos.

And she had a wisp of Calamity Aura on her---heh heh.

That aura would soon dissipate, giving the big shots some room for imagination, heh heh.

“But... how am I supposed to go back?”

Ye Su had a headache over his situation.

“Why did you come back?”

A voice rang in his ear.

Ye Su turned around.

It was indeed Zhang Huai.

“Couldn't go back, I guess.”

Ye Su said, spreading his hands.

Well, he actually had this thought in his heart.

Zhang Huai... might come.

Sure enough, he really did come.

Zhang Huai frowned; time had left too many marks on him.

There was too much difference between him and the refined man from the City of Flesh and Blood.

“I'll send you back.”

Zhang Huai said.

As he spoke, he led Ye Su through Calamity Chaos.

“Zhang Huai, can you tell me some of the truth? For example... that timeline.”

Ye Su didn't feel the nervousness of facing a powerhouse.

He had too many questions in his heart.

Does the past affect the future?

Or was it a predetermined fate that brought the two together?

And the Bizarre, Bizarre Creatures---the forbidden path, martial arts---and so on, there was too much.

It was all full of mist.

Zhang Huai thought for a moment, then looked behind Ye Su.

Behind him, there were a large number of timelines waiting for him to converge.

He was like an account book, with countless debts recorded one by one, all waiting to explode at a certain moment.

He had once considered this in front of the Grandmaster's grave.

When he saw Ye Su again.

Send him to that timeline.

Let him give You Gu a destiny stone; perhaps, it could completely change You Gu's fate.

But---the Sword Master later told him that if he saw Ye Su again, to take a look behind him.

Zhang Huai saw it.

It was a vast number of timelines.

There was even one about himself.

The Sword Master had said;

‘Power comes at a price; you became strong because the timeline was changed.’

‘This isn't your Luck; it's because someone bore that timeline for you.’

That is,

unknowingly,

Ye Su had taken the debt of Zhang Huai becoming a powerhouse onto himself.

Well, it could also be called Karma.

So,

after seeing Ye Su again,

he saw the timelines, but he didn't dare mention sending a destiny stone to You Gu to change fate anymore.

He couldn't be that selfish.

The Grandmaster wouldn't allow him to be that selfish either.

Yet, facing Ye Su's question,

Li Huai opened his mouth, and finally could only say;

“I'm sorry---”

“Huh?”

Ye Su was confused.

Sorry for what?

“What... does this mean? The truth behind it?”

“There are some things I cannot say.”

Zhang Huai spoke;

“Ye Su, I can only tell you that some big figures are plotting something.”

“It is a massive, extreme scheme!”

“You might be a sacrificial lamb, a savior, or a pawn destined to balance the books.”

“I don't know your true identity, but you made me who I am.”

“I can't do anything.”

“I only hope you can win everything.”

After saying that,

a terrifying sword light carried Ye Su back against the river of time, sending him to Blue Star at this point in time.
