Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Return to the Core Area_1

After a while, the two opened their eyes and walked to the balcony to watch the setting sun. Feng Yuan sighed, looked around with some reluctance, and said to Qi Xiaoshuang,

"Let’s go, I’ll take you back."

"Can you take me back?"

Qi Xiaoshuang was a bit surprised as she looked at Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan smiled and nodded, looking once more at the sunset before saying,

"Since you’re his sister, he must be worried about you if you go missing, right?"

"Let’s go, this isn’t the right place to send you back."

Looking at Feng Yuan’s retreating figure, Qi Xiaoshuang felt there was something odd about Feng Yuan.

"What did you bring me here for?"

Gazing at the surrounding ruins, Qi Chen was a bit perplexed as he looked at Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan just smiled, lightly touched the moss on the wall, and said,

"I wonder how Xiao Ji’s touch really feels..."

"Hmm?"

Just as Qi Chen was puzzled, Feng Yuan turned around with a smile and said,

"It’s getting late; time to send you back."

Watching the tears rolling down Feng Yuan’s eyes, Qi Chen had an ominous feeling. The next moment, Feng Yuan silently muttered something, drew a sickle, and plunged it fiercely into his own chest. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground. Shocked, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, who managed to say with a smile,

"Some special beings can sacrifice themselves to connect with real entities in other dimensions. It’s such a pity... I couldn’t caress... Xiao Ji..."

As Feng Yuan fell to the ground and lost his vitality, cracks started appearing in the surrounding space. A large white wolf’s paw smashed through, sticking out from the gap. Feng Yuan leapt from that space, looked at Qi Chen in confusion, and said,

"What’s wrong?"

Wiping away tears, Qi Chen shouted at Feng Yuan,

"Can’t you ever stop messing around?"

Scratching his head in confusion, Feng Yuan asked,

"What’s the matter? What mess?"

"Ji!"

Xiao Ji, who was hiding in the hood and observing the surroundings, saw Feng Yuan’s body on the ground. Startled, it looked from the body to Feng Yuan and then rushed to Feng Yuan’s shoulder, clinging tightly. Dreaming Dragon Baby turned and saw the corpse, let out a surprised roar, and at that moment, Yang Hongzhi also approached, equally puzzled by the scene.

"Uh... are you talking about this?"

Feng Yuan turned to look at his own corpse, with an eerie expression, sighed, and patted Qi Chen’s shoulder, saying,

"At least we’ve found you now, haven’t we?"

"Hmm..."

"What do you mean by that? Do you treat life so trivially in your eyes?"

After being yelled at by Qi Chen, Feng Yuan hesitated, unsure of what to say. Xiao Ji and Dreaming Dragon Baby, agreeing with Qi Chen, nodded their heads and looked at Feng Yuan. He hesitated for a moment then said,

"Well, it’s not me..."

"Isn’t your personality the same?"

"Well... there are some methods he cannot use... So this was actually the best way... After all, we didn’t expect you to be in such a strange temporal offshoot. Without his sacrifice, we might really not have been able to find you..."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s explanation, Qi Chen hesitated for a long time, then said with some sadness,

"Is that really so..."

"What you were in was a false possibility achieved by a wish, a place that is not even a tributary of a false past, but a branch beneath a tributary... If we tried to find you ourselves, we might really not have been able to..."

"And Xiao Shuang?"

"She might be in a place like this too..."

After a lengthy conversation between Feng Yuan and Qi Chen, the two finally buried the Feng Yuan of this world amidst the ruins. After muttering something in silence, the three left dispiritedly and walked to the side of the White Wolf Deity. Yang Hongzhi took some compressed rations and Spirit Beast Food from his bag and handed them to the two, saying,

"Eat something."

"Yeah."

Watching Qi Chen still upset, Feng Yuan sighed and said with a smile,

"Don’t take it too seriously, all of this is just a false past, everything is fake~"

"If you really encountered such a situation, would you actually do the same..."

"Ji..."

"Ao..."

"I don’t know... Although I’d like to say it’s impossible, but..."

Feng Yuan said with a sigh. Xiao Ji anxiously grabbed Feng Yuan’s shoulder and nuzzled against him with its head. Meanwhile, the White Wolf Deity was coldly watching the three of them. After a while, when the trio discussed where to rest, Feng Yuan sensed something and went in front of the White Wolf Deity to gently touch it. Yang Hongzhi sighed watching Feng Yuan’s action and said,

"It must be Xiao Shuang you’ve found, right? It was the same when you were found."

Qi Chen seemed to recall something and sighed as he looked at the small mound of earth nearby. Soon after, the White Wolf Deity fiercely struck the air in front of it. Watching the spatial rift appear, Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and dashed through it first, followed by a sighing Feng Yuan who led the sad Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby through the rift.

"Alright, let’s go."

At the sight of the familiar spot and mound, Feng Yuan sighed and said to the two who seemed somewhat down. Seeing no response, Feng Yuan walked back to the side of the White Wolf Deity. Observing Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby, both saddened on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, Yang Hongzhi said helplessly,

"Your personality really is..."

Feng Yuan lifted his head and said disdainfully to Yang Hongzhi,

"If it were the people important to you behind you, and your sacrifice could save them, how would you choose?"

"I..."

Yang Hongzhi spoke while lowering his head to look at the downcast Najia in his arms. After talking with Yang Hongzhi for a while, Qi Chen and Qi Xiaoshuang seemed to feel a bit better. Feng Yuan said to the two approaching with a smile,

"We should hurry up~ Maybe at this time Wu Feng has already destroyed the core~" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

The White Wolf Deity, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up and howled, fiercely striking the sky. As a vast spatial rift opened in the sky, Feng Yuan and the others mounted the White Wolf Deity’s back and charged into the rift. The White Wolf Deity traversed the chaotic space for a long time then suddenly lashed out fiercely in front of him, shattering the subtle spatial crack and plunging into the rift to return everyone to the core’s location. Seeing Wu Feng powerless against the dark golden transparent Protective Shield, Feng Yuan sighed.

"Looks like we have to take action after all..."

"Ao~ woo~~"

The White Wolf Deity howled, returning to the size they first met, and began to emit a pure white light. Feng Yuan put away his Sickle and took Xiao Ji from his hoodie, saying,

"Prepare for battle~"

"Ji?"

"Ao?"

"Release all your Spirit Beasts."

Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen and Yang Hongzhi. After hesitating for a bit, they let their Spirit Beasts stand on the ground. Then, Feng Yuan nodded at the White Wolf Deity, which struck the ground with its left paw as a multitude of Runes appeared around it. The White Wolf Deity’s body began to show a pattern of white Magic. Seeing the white light emitting from his body, Qi Chen said in surprise,

"What’s happening?"

"It’s a power enhancement. How else are you going to fight?"

"Power enhancement?"

The white light gradually enveloped everyone. Wu Feng, who was attacking the transparent Protective Shield, noticed something odd behind him, stepped back, and looked at the group with confusion,

"What’s this all about?"

...

"The White Wolf Deity’s unique ability, is it..."

"This is..."

As the white light faded, Qi Chen looked at his strangely-dressed self in confusion, shaking the Scepter that had suddenly appeared in his hand, while Feng Yuan, holding a Greatsword, glanced at Qi Chen with a smirk and said,

"Yo~ It looks like you did succeed. That’s an outfit of the Shepherd Tree People, right? Does this mean Ah Mu might evolve into a Starry Heaven Giant Tree?"

"What did you say?"

Qi Chen turned around and saw where Ah Mu originally was, a tall tree person now stood, its crown twinkling with multicolored starlight, as if countless stars were hidden within. The tall tree person smiled at Qi Chen and waved. Qi Chen, in disbelief, turned to Feng Yuan and asked,

"What exactly happened?"
