670: wake
It wasn't just Song Jiajia and Song Qiqi, the two sisters on Tiannan Star, who were thinking of Yang Dian, nor was it just the Think Tank members who missed him because his absence prevented certain plans from being implemented and certain emergencies from being handled.
Besides them, there was also Yang Lele, who hadn't seen her brother, Big Black Cat, who spent all day waiting in the courtyard for Yang Dian to come back and play, and the enormous orca that occasionally circled above the Yang family courtyard... Time is ruthless, but people are not.
Whether human or beast, all were concerned about Yang Dian due to his sudden disappearance.
Apart from these people with close ties to Yang Dian, the ones who missed him the most were probably Yu Tian on Canglan Star and Ku Li Pa on Emerald Dragon Star.
Canglan Star.
Yu Tian watched the Alien Planet Cultivators who frequently came to Canglan Star to take advantage, and his son, Yu Fei, the crown prince, who was forced to cede territory to survive under the Cultivators' oppression, making him so angry that his three corpses and brain gods throbbed wildly.
"When I, the Emperor, seize the Origin of the Alien Planet's Star Core and take that step, I will settle accounts with you!"
Emerald Dragon Star.
Ku Li Pa stood on the city wall of the Human Race's last imperial city, glancing around at his dispirited comrades and spouses, and looking at the black clouds and lightning that covered the sky, pressing down from the horizon, a look of despair appeared in his eyes:
"God, still hasn't answered our prayers?"
Fina, the Space-Time Dragoness assigned by Yang Dian to Ku Li Pa's side, weakly flicked her tail:
"Such an existence, a casual nap lasts for dozens or hundreds of years."
"If they are Cultivating, it's normal for them not to appear for several centuries."
"Perhaps a being as great as her hasn't even noticed what's happening now."
Ku Li Pa gripped the Storm Holy Sword in his hand tightly upon hearing this.
The Elf Princess standing beside him seemed to realize something and grabbed his arm:
"Pa, you only broke through to Epic High-Rank not long ago."
"Forcibly attempting to Breakthrough to the God's Domain will kill you!"
Ku Li Pa smiled bitterly:
"We have no choice, do we?"
"The Human Race is truly too weak."
"Without the help of a new god, we can't even resist the attacks of ordinary Dragon Clan, let alone the Emerald Dragon God who is about to awaken?"
Muttering, Ku Li Pa turned to look at his many confidantes.
Human Princess, Elf Princess, Mermaid Princess, Dark Elf Princess, Centaur Chieftain, Winged Human Queen... "In the beginning, I was just a small Kuli working as a porter at the docks."
"Perhaps it was the smooth sailing all the way that made me forget my reverence for the world and for the strong, and I arrogantly declared war on the Dragon Clan without even contacting my new Human Race god."
"All calamities originated from me."
"Since they originated from me, they should end with me."
"Go," Ku Li Pa waved his hand, saying:
"There's a passage in the imperial palace leading to a new underground world; you all take the remaining Human Race and enter the underground world."
"The Human Race needs to preserve its kindling."
Burning flames appeared in Ku Li Pa's eyes:
"When the new god awakens, that will be the time of our revenge."
Ku Li Pa himself wasn't confident he could Breakthrough to the legendary realm of a god.
If he failed to Breakthrough, he would drag his crippled body to self-destruct, perishing with the Dragon Clan.
Just as he said, everything that began with him should end with him.
He placed his hope in Yang Dian.
When the Winged Human Queen saw his appearance, her heart couldn't help but tremble. After some hesitation, she took out a feather radiating pure white Holy Light:
"This is an Angel's Feather."
"Legend says it's the feather of the ancient Holy Angel race, and carrying it brings good luck."
"Perhaps you'll find a use for it."
Ku Li Pa took the feather and nodded seriously:
"I will definitely Breakthrough!"
Uttering a vow he didn't even believe himself, Ku Li Pa again waved his hand at the others:
"Go, while I'm still alive, quickly leave the surface."
With that, his battle Qi erupted, stirring up an endless gale, and he flew towards the sky-filling dark clouds on the mountaintop, and the dense mass of Dragons above the clouds.
Fina flicked her tail and sighed:
"Why is my life so bitter..."
As she spoke, she raised her paw again and touched the bell hanging around her neck:
"God ~ are you really not going to manage your game, do you want to end it?"
Tiannan Star, Star Core Space.
The Dimension Butterfly appeared in the darkness, slowly spreading its wings under the somewhat dazed gaze of the Space Silkworm, revealing the iridescent, colorful jellyfish beneath it.
Dudu opened its tentacles, which were wrapped around Yang Dian, and forcefully opened its umbrella-like body, emitting joyful Dudu sounds.
Yang Dian, whose consciousness had just recovered from the Chaos, sensed the joyful emotions emanating from Dudu and subconsciously curved his lips into a smile:
"You little thing, you're as joyful as ever."
He reached out, grabbed Dudu from his head, and kneaded it a couple of times. Then, he used it like a washcloth to wipe his face, which hadn't been washed in a long time but still had no Impurities whatsoever.
"I'm alive again ~"
In his emotion, Yang Dian recalled the panel that had changed before his slumber.
With a thought, the panel, which only existed in his consciousness, slowly unfolded.
All the text on it had disappeared.
Dragon Claw Hand, Heaven and Man Unity Skill, Star Gazing Art, all had transformed into numerous incredibly complex runic symbols that made one feel dizzy just by looking at them.
"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth..."
"Dao, Soul, Life, Power, Blood..."
"Words are merely carriers for writing the Great Dao and rules."
"After devouring the power of fate and returning to Origin, everything has indeed returned to its true essence."
But looking at the dozens of runic symbols on the panel, Yang Dian was still a bit unaccustomed.
"Change back."
As his voice fell, the dozens of runes twisted and transformed into text, filling the panel.
"That's much more pleasing to the eye."
He reached out and clenched his fist.
His Physique and Qi and blood showed no significant changes compared to before his slumber.
"I slept for so long, and all I gained was a tiny, insignificant bit of the power of fate?"
Speaking of fate, Yang Dian thought of the Silkworm of Fate, which wanted to manipulate fate.
"Those who play with fate will ultimately be played by fate."
He reached out and scooped up the Silkworm of Fate, which he had bitten until it burst, turning back into a cocoon of rules.
Yang Dian looked back at the Star Core, took the Space Silkworm, who was staring blankly at the Dimension Butterfly, and stepped out of the Star Core Space.
"I've slept for so long; I should go out and see what the situation is like now..."
