475: Chapter 475 Fragments of Civilization

Three days passed.

Fang Bai had already stayed in the Star Pavilion for three days, though he was calculating according to his own time; after all, there was no sun in this star domain.

The flow of time in the Dark Night Star Domain wasn't much different from Blue Star's. A massive funnel stood in the void, serving as a reference for the passage of time.

During these three days, Fang Bai's condition had returned to its peak.

He would also enter the moon god ring. It was important to note that ten days inside equaled one day outside; in three days, a month had already passed within.

Inside, Fang Bai was able to gain more ample time for cultivation.

However, the problem he needed to solve now was also related to the moon god ring.

After all, he couldn't trap all the people of the Dragon Kingdom in the moon god ring; as time passed, ordinary people wouldn't be able to survive for long.

Fang Bai was also worried about Yi Mu's condition. After all, she had been missing for three whole days, and Du Zun hadn't appeared again either.

Another two days passed.

While Fang Bai was meditating and cultivating, he was suddenly disturbed by a voice.

He opened his eyes, and his figure vanished from the spot in the next second.

Fang Bai appeared on the ground. Before him stood a slender figure.

Seeing the person, a hint of surprise flashed in Fang Bai's eyes.

The figure slowly turned around, looked at Fang Bai, and smiled. "Do you know who I am?"

Fang Bai bowed slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency is the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion, as well as the person who saved me last time."

Fei Qianqiu!

The man before him was indeed Fei Qianqiu!

Fei Qianqiu looked at Fang Bai and nodded slightly. "You are somewhat like him."

"Him? Is Senior referring to the White Emperor?" Fang Bai asked.

Fei Qianqiu nodded. "Indeed. I expect you know him as well."

Fang Bai nodded. "I know him, and our relationship is quite deep. It's just... he has already fallen."

Hearing this, a hint of loss flashed in Fei Qianqiu's eyes. He sighed, "Brother Bai... he was a man worthy of respect."

He looked at Fang Bai and said slowly, "That day, I hadn't originally intended to intervene, but... you have his aura on you."

He chose to lay his cards on the table, telling Fang Bai the reason he had stepped in to save him.

Fang Bai wasn't surprised. He nodded and said, "I had already guessed as much. However, the fact remains that Senior saved me. I owe Senior a life."

Fei Qianqiu said with a smile, "Are the people of your civilization all so loyal and righteous?"

Fang Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Not all of them."

With his hands behind his back, Fei Qianqiu said faintly, "That fellow Brother Bai was just like you—kind-hearted and loyal. Moreover, he once saved me."

This actually surprised Fang Bai.

However, he also felt a sense of relief in his heart.

As expected of the Human Emperor! Even after falling, he still left behind such a valuable legacy.

The White Emperor's reputation was indeed worth a lot.

"I heard from Elaine that Senior once fought with the White Emperor?" Fang Bai asked curiously.

Fei Qianqiu didn't deny it. Instead, he said, "That was a long time ago."

A look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

"Then in Senior's opinion, how was the White Emperor's strength?" Fang Bai asked again.

Fei Qianqiu said slowly, "He was naturally strong. He and I were evenly matched. However, at that time, his strength was not at its peak."

Fang Bai's expression shifted.

If his guess was correct, the White Emperor used a portion of his power to protect the entire Blue Star civilization. That is to say, when he fought Fei Qianqiu, he might have only used thirty percent of his power!

To be evenly matched with a late-stage Tenth Rank powerhouse with only thirty percent of his power—it was hard to imagine how strong the White Emperor was at his peak!

But that was in the past. Fang Bai understood that Fei Qianqiu was also much stronger now compared to back then!

At the very least, he couldn't sense the other's aura at all right now.

Then, Fei Qianqiu suddenly said, "Although I saved you, you saved Yi Mu afterward. Let's call the debts between us settled."

Fang Bai's expression stirred. "Actually, without Yi Mu, I wouldn't have survived either."

Fei Qianqiu seemed to think of something and sighed. "That girl Yi Mu... perhaps I should have brought her back sooner."

Fang Bai hurriedly asked, "Senior, how is Yi Mu's current situation?"

Fei Qianqiu said solemnly, "It's not very optimistic... Never mind, I'll take you to see her."

Swish!

He directly took Fang Bai and vanished from the spot.

Soon, Fang Bai arrived at the great hall where Yi Mu was.

Seeing Yi Mu lying in the amethyst coffin, Fang Bai's expression changed slightly. "She..."

Fei Qianqiu took the initiative to explain, "She used her own power, so she suffered a backlash."

Fang Bai's expression darkened as he seemed to realize something. His face instantly turned grim. "Is it because of me?"

Yi Mu had used her blood to save him and even helped him break through. That could be the only reason.

Fei Qianqiu said slowly, "It's not really your fault. If Yi Mu hadn't used her power, both of you would have died. Moreover, the power within her had long reached a critical point. Releasing it once was like opening a floodgate; it became uncontrollable."

"It's all fate..."

Fei Qianqiu wasn't particularly surprised, because he had expected all of this long ago.

Fang Bai frowned. "Senior, is there any way to save her?"

Fei Qianqiu shook his head. "No, her power is irreversible. If we act recklessly, it will be counterproductive."

Fang Bai was somewhat disappointed. "Does that mean she won't be able to wake up?"

"That's not it. She will wake up, but as for what identity she wakes up with, that depends on the will of heaven," Fei Qianqiu said slowly.

"Identity? What exactly is Yi Mu's identity?" Fang Bai asked the question he had been curious about for a long time.

Fei Qianqiu said slowly, "She... is the civilization fragment itself!"

civilization fragment!

Itself!

A look of horror appeared in Fang Bai's eyes. "Yi Mu is the civilization fragment? How is that possible?"

Fei Qianqiu said calmly, "A civilization fragment is not literally a fragment. It is a product nurtured by the origin of an entire civilization, representing the power of that entire civilization. And this power—every civilization has only one!"

Fang Bai gasped. "In other words, Yi Mu is the civilization fragment of a second-level civilization?!"

Fei Qianqiu nodded. "Correct. Hundreds of star domains make up a second-level civilization, and the core of a second-level civilization is the civilization fragment. Now, the civilization fragment is in my Dark Night Star Domain!"

Fang Bai: "..."

This was too unbelievable!

A hint of solemnity appeared in Fei Qianqiu's eyes. "Once the seal in her body is released, the Primordial Power will leak out. At that time, the top powerhouses of the entire civilization will sense it. Then, my Dark Night Star Domain will be reduced to a civilization battlefield..."

A great civilization war!

That scale is extremely tragic; even those at the Tenth Rank would be reduced to mere fodder in the meat grinder!

Not even mentioning other star domains, all the forces within our Dark Night Star Domain alone would rise up and attack the Star Pavilion together!

Even he, Fei Qianqiu, wouldn't be able to stop them!
