151: Come back!

Sun Feifei's five elements flags transformed into secret treasures, and the taiji diagram unfolded in the Void Realm, strengthening the starship's defense!

Sun Feifei shouted sharply, "Universe Reversal, Break!"

Under Sun Feifei's continuous Daoist Magic bombardment, the mirror fleet gradually collapsed into a black hole. Her finishing move was indeed excellent, and the effect was perfect!

But unexpectedly, at the moment of collapse, the entire Star Domain was dragged directly into a time turbulence.

That ancient bronze marriage contract floated before her eyes—a marriage vow from a hundred thousand years ago... In the final moment, Ignis awakened the ultimate power of her Bloodline!

—A sudden flash of inspiration!

The flame demon greatsword triggered the stellar totem!

She was furious!

"All of you, turn into fireworks for me!!!"

Lava Sword Qi pierced through the black hole's singularity, and the light of Betelgeuse, after twelve refractions, drew a beautiful pattern in the Void Realm, as if in a dream.

When the intense light dissipated, everyone saw Earth floating safely in its original orbit, but all communication channels were filled with nothing but static... Were they back?

One day later.

Inside the medical pod, Ignis curled up on a magnetic therapy mattress, as Morning Dew's Holy Light smoothed the burn marks on her neck.

Lu Chen's fingertips stroked the new star map, and he muttered to himself with a hint of confusion:

"So what Xu Fu arranged at Mount Li back then was actually an interstellar beacon... Unfortunately, it was hijacked by the Heavenly Dao. I used its portal, and it stole our beacon. It's unreal!"

At that moment, Shelley injected the sand of time into the analyzer, her ice-blue eyelashes trembling slightly. "Lu Chen, you're saying Earth's time flow is a hundred times slower than ours? How can that be? Right now, from the time we left... wait, how is this possible!"

She suddenly stopped. The holographic screen displayed a familiar date—it was the very day they had left!

...They seemed very close to Earth, but there were still many light-years to go.

Just when everyone thought nothing else would happen, something did!

As the starship crossed an asteroid belt, the navigator suddenly emitted a humming sound.

Lu Chen's golden compass also burst with intense light, outlining the contours of crater groups in the Void Realm—liquid sand of time flowed over the surface of every rock, like a galaxy falling into the mortal world.

What kind of place was this?

"Gravity parameter anomaly!"

A crew member reported.

Shelley also added, "The density of these rocks is changing three times per second."

Morning Dew looked outside, her gaze sweeping across the porthole.

Suddenly, she discovered a bizarre image reflected outside: weathered bronze artifacts and even modern spacecraft wreckage existed simultaneously on the surface of a certain meteorite?

What kind of archaeological discovery was this, merging the ancient and the future!

—What a masterpiece!

Ignis glanced at the new stellar totem on her collarbone. "I wonder what kind of ghost thing it is this time! So annoying!"

A wisp of scorching flame seeped from her fingertips.

One could see her current state of irritation.

At the same time, Ignis observed the star map of Betelgeuse that Lu Chen was staring at from the bridge.

In Ignis's eyes, Little Skeleton had been staring at that star map ever since they returned—every single day!

It was as if he were trying to see flowers blooming out of it!

Lu Chen toyed with the tianwen sword in his hand, flicking it with a finger to make it vibrate. The jade ring on the sword tassel played the Shao music.

Interestingly, the notes even produced a spontaneous resonance with the meteorites in the belt.

When it reached its Peak!

Suddenly, the entire Star Domain came to a standstill!

A large amount of splashing sand of time appeared ahead, gradually condensing into a staircase!

Leading to the core's heights was a crystal pyramid.

Lu Chen performed a flourish with his sword, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Stop the ship, we're going up!"

...At the entrance of the pyramid.

The bronze inscriptions here made Sun Feifei gasp. "In the third year of the Daye era, Xu Fu led three thousand boys and girls here..."

Her fingertips brushed over the mottled characters. "But this place is a full six light-years away from Earth!"

"We'll know once we split it open!" As she spoke, Ignis's greatsword cleaved through the airlock door that had been sealed for ten thousand years.

The moment the stale air rushed out, everyone's pupils constricted!

In the center of the hall floated three hundred ice coffins, each containing a corpse that looked remarkably like Lu Chen.

A cloning room?

This couldn't help but remind one of a classic scene from Resident Evil!

Shelley's ice crystal magic was the most formidable for detection, likely making her the strongest among the women in this regard!

As she released an ice crystal to touch a coffin lid, an afterimage suddenly appeared, even looking them over and saying:

"The Heavenly Dao has tampered with the space-time of many worlds. In this world's timeline alone, it has been altered three thousand six hundred times. Those you see before you are all failed saviors—each one an Emperor-level Undead King! There are even a few who have reached the Transcendent Divine-Grade!"

Morning Dew's Holy Light also swept across the groups of ice coffins.

Suddenly, she froze in front of a certain sarcophagus!

Morning Dew said with a trembling voice:

"The memory of this person from just a moment ago... was actually calling out to me for help!"

Morning Dew cast her gaze over, but the 'Lu Chen' inside the coffin vanished into nothingness in the next instant!

This frightened Morning Dew so much that she took half a step back!

The Heavenly Dao understands the human heart better than anyone!

Deep within the ruins.

The roar of turning gears echoed, as the space-time of this place began to show signs of distortion and warping.

A bone puppet summoned by Ning Xiwei was used as a vanguard, walking at the very front!

This bone puppet, at a corner of the corridor ahead, simultaneously exhibited both youthful and decayed states, even affecting Ning Xiwei's magic book—the book of the dead.

The words recorded in Ning Xiwei's book of the dead were also appearing in reverse chronological order at this moment.

Ignis was also attempting to blast the walls with her flame demon power, but upon looking back, she found her self from ten seconds ago still swinging her sword in the same spot.

Lu Chen seemed to have seen through the mystery!

He immediately stopped Ignis, who was still planning to give it another try, saying:

"Don't use spiritual energy!"

Lu Chen then turned and pulled back Sun Feifei, who had almost stepped into a time vortex. "Girl, be careful. This place is full of magic traps, no worse than the immortal arts you've learned! It looks like this was once a factory built by people, gods, or whatever they were, who served as slaves to the Heavenly Dao."

The tip of Lu Chen's tianwen sword picked up some sand of time from the wall. The grains slowly formed a star map in the air—each star represented a version that had been rebooted and then collapsed.

Shelley acted to freeze the entire corridor, directly exposing all the dangers ahead!

Under Absolute Zero, a hidden bronze pipe actually revealed itself!

After Lu Chen walked over and examined it closely, he said, "It looks like the energy flows toward the core area. There must be something there absorbing these things."

Shelley walked over and used ice crystals to climb the pipe walls!

In an instant, images appeared that left everyone breathless: the corpses of countless powerful experts, their figures from when they fought against the Heavenly Dao were being distorted, extracted, and utilized within this pipe!

In the area Lu Chen and the others had not yet reached, within the spherical space of the core area, a Taiji formation composed of Lianshan and Guicang was currently suspended.
