“Hahaha, persuading others to restrain? That’s a good bluff, I can give you 95 points.”

“Even if you ridicule me, I won’t feel guilty, so save it… In light of the situation just now, if I didn’t forcefully act, Hetu would’ve been in danger.”

“Hetu being in danger has nothing to do with you. You’re not his illegitimate child, right?”

In the pa.s.sage of the two worlds, w.a.n.g Lu and his Master sat on the ground with their backs facing each other. Their faces were full of exhaustion, and they even had to pause their chat after only two sentences.

After a long time, w.a.n.g Wu looked up and somewhat in a daze said, “Pity, I almost got home.”

“Almost? You are too optimistic. Just now, the Immortal World’s Against the World Dragon Pillar has indeed shattered the s.p.a.ce, but at most, the gap only allows sound to pa.s.s through. If you want people to pa.s.s through, the gap at least should be expanded by ten thousand times… Of course, looking at the present situation, it’s useless to expand it one hundred thousand times. The gap has been closed.”

w.a.n.g Wu reluctantly raised a trace of energy and cursed, “So which of your muscles was wrong just now? Do you have to open your mouth and speak? If you didn’t speak, who could know that the Against the World Dragon Pillar has made a gap in the s.p.a.ce barrier? Even if the hope was slim, it was still better than no hope!”

w.a.n.g Lu chuckled and said, “Do you think the Fallen Immortals are stupid? Even if I didn’t speak, they will have to conduct a comprehensive investigation sooner or later. This Against the World Dragon Pillar is one of the core elements of the Great Purge. Think about how much the Immortal World had done before the dragon pillar came? And just now, if I didn’t open my mouth, Hetu would directly face Xiaoyao. And judging from the current situation in the Nine Regions, it’s a dead end. And if they’re all dead, even if we can go back, what’s the point? If the Death to Immortal Sword Array can be smoothly set up, it should be more useful for the two of us… Even though it’s still the final struggle.”

“Final struggle?”

“Even with ten sets of Death to Immortals Sword Array, it’s still difficult to contend the power of the Against the World Dragon Pillar head-on. Moreover, the most important logistic base in Nine Regions, the Tomb of Immortals, has been destroyed. Let alone the Death to Immortals Sword set, many of the production lines have to stop… Forget it, there is too much bad news, I don’t want to talk about it.”

After that, there was a long silence in the pa.s.sage.

w.a.n.g Wu sighed and said, “So, is it already hopeless for us?”

”…”

w.a.n.g Lu remained silent and did not answer her.

w.a.n.g Wu said softly, “We have worked hard for so long, but the final result is this. It’s really frustrating.”

w.a.n.g Lu said with a smile, “Don’t lose your heart too quickly. Although this pa.s.sage is narrow and shrinking, it’s actually quite s.p.a.cious for two people. We can live happily here and have time to reproduce a nation…”

“Okay, if you want it, it doesn’t matter to me.”

“Huh?” w.a.n.g Lu was surprised and at the same time, he heard the sound of clothes rustling behind him.

“Which position do you like?” After he heard that, a warm naked body stuck to his back, and two slender white arms gently hugged w.a.n.g Lu’s neck.

w.a.n.g Lu who was dying of exhaustion simply sat up and said, “What the… You really want to do it?”

“Otherwise?” w.a.n.g Wu said, “You said you want it.”

“… According to the usual script, you should reject my advance. Isn’t this ‘only talk’ thing your style?”

The corners of w.a.n.g Wu’s mouth moved slightly, “Do you really think I like that style very much? There are only us here and I don’t want to continue to act as your Master… I’m tired of it.”

w.a.n.g Lu was suddenly filled with complex emotions.

“But, since you’re just joking, then forget it.” w.a.n.g Wu said and then rearranged her clothes, “Come on, let’s talk. What’s exactly on your mind? Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it.”

“… First of all, don’t give up hope just yet. Thanks to the Against the World Dragon Pillar smas.h.i.+ng the s.p.a.ce barrier a little bit, I finally got a subtle connection with the Nine Regions.”

“Subtle connection?”

“Look at this.” w.a.n.g Lu opened his hand and a slightly glowing talisman spread out on his palm.

“Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman! You still have it with you?”

“Well, although I didn’t actually need it, it’s a memorial after all. But now, it’s actually come in handy. With it, I can lock the location of the Nine Regions. Although it feels vague and the s.p.a.ce barrier is still deep, we’re finally not wandering in the endless void.”

w.a.n.g Wu pondered, “If you can lock the location of the Nine Regions, then the only problem is the s.p.a.ce barrier.”

“The barrier between the three thousand worlds is one of the supreme laws. It is difficult to break it through brute force. Otherwise, the Immortal World would not have to spend so much time to reach Nine Regions. Fortunately, our position is not far away from the Nine Regions. The barrier layer is not unbreakable and it has been weakened by the Against the World Dragon Pillar. So, in theory, as long as I am ten times stronger than I am now, I can break through the barrier with my own strength and return to Nine Regions.”

“… Ten times stronger? Is it possible?”

w.a.n.g Lu said, “This is where the difficulty lies. It is theoretically possible. The synchronization rate between the Giant Divine Weapon and I is just seventy percent. If it can be increased to one hundred percent… I will be five times stronger than now.”

“What about the remaining?”

“Think of a way to raise it to one hundred and twenty percent.”

“… What an irresponsible plan.”

“And the most troublesome thing is that according to the current synchronization rate, it will take hundreds of years to reach 100 percent.”

“But in fact, this pa.s.sage will last for only two years at most. And even if I try to maintain its existence with the help of Non-Phase Method, it will not last for more than three years.”

“Secondly, whether the Nine Regions can persist until our return is also a question. In the battle of the Southern Heaven Region, the Nine Regions is already a bit broken.”

w.a.n.g Wu was silent for a moment, and then said, “Don’t underestimate the resilience of Nine Regions, you’re not the only savior in this world.”

“Oh? Would you please introduce me to my colleague? I want to open my eyes.”

w.a.n.g Wu said with a smile, “Your tone is so pretentious. Not to speak of anyone else, in the days of your absence, Senior Brother Feng Yin is the savior of Spirit Sword Sect.”

“… Oh, him. Hah, that small child has indeed grown up a lot.”

“In addition, Senior Brother Liu Xian and Senior Brother Fang He are actually quite good. Hetu is also one of them. On the one hand, Supreme Hetu wants to maintain the overall order of Nine Regions, on the other hand, he has to play a good role model as the leader of Shengjing to protect the interests of the sect. For the past many years, the number one person in Nine Regions has worked very hard… ”

“Okay, I know it’s not easy for you to say that about those people, so I’ll trust them for the time being.”

w.a.n.g Lu gave a helpless smile and ended the topic. At this time, there was no need to actively spread despair.

After a while, the familiar warm touch appeared on his back once again, but the tone of voice that entered his ears was slightly strange.

“But, for me, you’ll always be the only one…”

——

On the square outside the Heavenly Sage Hall in Shengjing Sect, Central Region of Nine Regions, a grand funeral was in progress.

The Against the World Dragon Pillar destroyed most of the Southern Heaven Region, and countless creatures disappeared. Among them, there were millions of cultivators and nearly ten thousand of them were above Jindan Stage.

Then, there were Supreme Tianlun, Supreme Kuqin, nearly half of the Red Guards, and most of the Earth Immortals… After the first battle, nearly half of the four poles that the Nine Regions was most proud of were damaged.

This was a funeral of an unprecedented scale. Before this, Nine Regions had never experienced such a tragic situation. Even in the War of Immortal and Demon, there would not be so many dead in one day and that not even the bones were left. Perhaps, this could only be comparable to the last Age of Chaos.

This was an unhosted funeral. Because even Supreme Hetu didn’t know what to say. Or even if he knew, he couldn’t open his mouth. In the face of such a tragic result, any words seemed pale and weak.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators from all over the place attended that funeral. People quietly came here to mourn for the dead. Outside the hall, the atmosphere of mourning and despair was suffocating.

Inside the Heavenly Sage Hall, Hetu, Zhuri, Feng Yin, Senior Gem Emperor… As well as the leaders and elders of various sects gathered together to discuss the future in a heavy atmosphere.

“Now, we will continue the fight.”

Supreme Hetu opened the discussion with such a sentence.

“Not only for the dead, but also for the living. We have no right to give up.”

One of the sect leaders below suddenly roared in despair, “Even if we continue the fight, what can we do? You guys have squeezed the Nine Regions for fifteen years, yet you guys were still defeated in the first battle! We might as well surrender, perhaps…”

Before he could finish his words, Daoist Master Feng Yin was seen to flick his wrist. The next moment, that leader fell down without saying anything. His body’s vitality dissipated and then died.

There was a commotion below, the crowd was in confusion.

“Now we don’t need the mere mention of surrender.” Supreme Hetu stopped the chaos in one sentence. He actually didn’t like Feng Yin’s harsh method. He was strict and serious by nature, and he liked rules and order. But he also knew that there was really no other way to deal with the situation just now.

He couldn’t think of any words to boost the morale, because he himself was desperate once. Due to w.a.n.g Lu’s words, he was able to persuade himself to keep a glimmer of hope. However, w.a.n.g Lu’s words alone would not be able to convince more people.

The look of fear, despair, and even numbness in the eyes of the elders here were just human nature.

In that case, he would take one step at a time.

“Next, we will combine the Great Array of Nine Regions and the Death to Immortal Sword Array to form a mobile defense… In addition, the Red Sea Underwater Workshop has to overcome the shortage of raw materials and continue to produce the testing machines. Then…”

Supreme Hetu’s voice was a bit dry. Even he knew how futile these actions were now. During the battle of the Southern Heaven Region, the main force was damaged too much. The death of the two Supremes and a large number of Earth Immortals was fatal to the whole situation.

Unless there was a miracle in which a group of top experts appeared in Nine Regions in an instant, the situation would be irreversible.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the Heavenly Sage Hall. The next moment, the door of the Heavenly Sage Hall was forcibly opened, and golden light shone throughout the hall.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds… Ugh!”

That visitor’s opening remark was interrupted with a painful grunt. The next moment, next to the golden light, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed heroic Western Continent girl retracted her elbow that hit the other side’s abdomen and then steadily came forward.

“Everyone, I present to you the reinforcement from the Western Continent.”
