Chapter 413 - 302: Power of Taiyi Phoenix and Carefree Wanderings (Part 4)

["He is coming—"]

[At this moment, the Soul Refining Demon Venerable led thirty-six Radiant Level demon corpses into the Central Star Domain of the Universe. Looking at the small planet with full confidence, he himself held off Divine Dragon Jiu Yue, while others were not worth worrying about.]

[A Giant God burning with black flames roared as it charged into the demon corpses.]

[Her fist was both swift and fierce, impossible to evade. The flesh body endured the celestial strategic weapon, catching the Soul Refining Demon Venerable off guard, successfully ambushed, and then suffered a brutal beating. Only with great difficulty did he catch his breath and use the Power of Destruction to shatter the body of the Black Emperor’s Great Demon Stone Statue.]

[On the other side, Jiu Yue fired with full force, using the "Divine Dragon Sky-Splitting Palm," causing half of the thirty-six Radiant Level demon corpses of the Soul Refining Demon Army to perish.]

[This war lasted for thirty thousand years.]

[In the Eighth Parallel Cosmos, "Xuanming" learned Martial Dao and unexpectedly gained the recognition of the Extreme Demon Dragon Power. Together, they sealed the primordial body of the Soul Refining Demon Venerable in the Black Nether Prison.]

[The demon corpses of the Eight Great Parallel Cosmos were cleared one by one by the Divine Dragon Squad.]

[Led by Bai Ze, the Divine Dragon Squad and the Profound Nether Squad ultimately saved the universe perfectly.]

[After this battle, Jiu Yue and Xuanming, both Martial Arts Grandmasters, were honored by the civilization of the Eight Great Parallel Cosmos as—North Xuanming and South Divine Dragon.]

[Led by Bai Ze and the Savior Squad, they jointly formed the "Multi-universe Peace Star Guard Squad" with Bai Ze from various parallel cosmoses to monitor anomalies, abbreviated as the Supervision Bureau.]

[The Transmigrator Alliance decided to stay in this safe world, while the two Demon Emperors secluded themselves to ponder the Primordial Gemstone. The universe’s strongest organization sat with two Martial Arts Grandmasters. All Eight Great Parallel Cosmoses returned to peace.]

[But during this period, those who died can no longer be resurrected...]

[This is the inevitable sacrifice.]

[Jiu Yue began a cosmic journey, searching for His figure within the Eight Great Parallel Cosmoses, in black holes, special dimensions, those exceptionally perilous Star Domains, all to no avail.]

[Time slowly passed, and the universe remained quiet for a hundred thousand years.]

["She is still searching for the non-existent person..."]

[The Supervision Bureau’s star map continued to extend, representing the time axis. Bai Ze’s hair gradually turned silver as she stood in front of the observation window, gazing at the eternal and unchanged Star River outside. The data board in her hand displayed "stability" in green letters, and this was already the 32,984th routine report.]

[On a holographic screen in a corner, Jiu Yue’s figure continued to walk alone in a desolate cosmos.]

[Bai Ze sighed, ultimately unable to bear it.]

[When Jiu Yue’s starship docked for supplies again, Bai Ze’s projection suddenly appeared inside the cabin. She directly brought out the coordinates of the Ancient Ruins: "There...might hold the answers you’re looking for."]

["Fifth Cosmos, Milky Way Galaxy, Blizzard Star?" Jiu Yue hesitated.]

["Three hundred years ago, a Bai Ze accidentally discovered that it is also an Ancient Ruins like the Cosmic Center!" Bai Ze said, "Within it possesses the Power of Taiyi Phoenix!"]

["Taiyi Phoenix Power?" Jiu Yue murmured softly, "Big White, thank you."]

["The Blizzard Star Ruins are full of Void Power, akin to a special environment beyond the universe, He does not exist!" Bai Ze wanted to use this opportunity to resolve Jiu Yue’s inner turmoil.]

["Jiu Yue, facing the Master of the Demon Abyss, the universe still needs the power of this Divine Dragon..."]

["He must exist!"]

[Jiu Yue turned decisively.]

["Big White, you know, my Dao has never been about saving the universe..."]

[Bai Ze remained silent.]

...

[Within the Ancient Ruins, the Power of Taiyi Phoenix dissolved everything.]

[In the silver-white Phoenix Fire, just as the Phoenix Power was about to engulf Jiu Yue, her figure suddenly became ethereal, as if blurring like ink in the flames. The Phoenix Fire pierced her body, but could no longer harm her at all.]

[She walked over the flames, each step sending ripples through the void, eventually passing through the last barrier of the ruins.]

[Around her was empty, and a floating platform slowly opened, revealing an unremarkable Golden Ring inside.]

[The ring glowed with gentle radiance in her palm, and Jiu Yue brought it close to her eyes, the engravings on the inner side of the band already blurred, but she could still discern the strokes.]

["Jiu...Yue and what?"]

[She unconsciously spoke aloud, her fingers repeatedly rubbing the engraving, her heart suddenly pounding violently, as if to break through her chest.]

[Memory surged like a tide. She "saw" herself wearing simple clothes, sitting with her legs dangling over the transparent corridor bridge at the top of the sky. Behind her came warmth from someone’s body temperature, someone was sitting back to back with her.]

[The night wind brushed against her cheeks.]

[Above her was an unprecedented brilliant Star River, and Jiu Yue wanted to turn her head to see the person’s appearance, but her vision remained blurry.]

["Jiu Yue and I are eternal friends..."]

[The youth’s voice was clear and smiling.]

["But if this sentence were written on paper, it would gradually decay as time passed."]

["Carving it on a stele might cause it to shatter."]

["Really troublesome, storing it in a virtual network, decades later, after we end our lives, the data will be erased."]

["Ah right, if we had a Golden Ring, it is the remains of a Fixed Star’s extinguishment, millions of years immortal, our names engraved would eternally exist..."]

["However...that most beautiful star in the sky actually already destroyed tens of thousands of years ago."]

["So before we die, we throw the ring witnessing our friendship into the cosmic Star Sea, letting it drift freely. It can surely record the traces of our existence, even after the universe is destroyed!!!" The youth stood up, pointing at the starry sky.]

["Is this your wish?"]

["Just like you put a drift bottle into the oceans from the Surface Layer."]

[In reality, Jiu Yue was suddenly entwined by a silver-white dragon shadow—the flipping pages in the library, fingertips touching in a rainstorm, back-to-back gazing at the starry sky.]

[She finally remembered that afternoon, the joyful youth running against the wind, opening the door, only to see an empty room.]

[And the disappointment in his eyes for her departure without notice.]

["This is my Martial Dao...I want to return to that moment."]

["He is in the past! I want to go back!!"]

[Jiu Yue suddenly looked up, the tears in her eyes not yet dry were replaced by determination, as she slowly slid the ring onto her left ring finger, perfectly fitting as if tailored for her.]

[Ang—!!]

[The silver-white Divine Dragon roared out from Jiu Yue’s palm.]

[But using the Time Divine Dragon Palm once can only retrospect a hundred years.]

[And the distance between him and her—is the incomparably distant thirteen hundred thousand years of time.]

[The surrounding star map rapidly began to reverse, the radiance of supernovae flowing back into the interior of Fixed Stars, shattered planets reassembling.]

[During countless inversions of sunrises and moonsets, her silhouette’s edges glowed a hazy halo, her skin displayed a semi-transparent texture, faintly revealing the flow of Divine Dragon Power within her.]

[Jiu Yue’s existence was disappearing.]

[Just then, the Golden Ring on her left ring finger suddenly materialized, anchoring her existence in spacetime.]

[Jiu Yue was unaware, only stubbornly repeating—the Time Divine Dragon Palm.]

[In the visualized river of time, Jiu Yue’s figure was like a silver fish swimming against the current. The violent time turbulence constantly pushed her downstream, yet she broke free from its constraints again and again.]

[A hundred thousand years...]

[Eighty thousand years...]

[Thirty thousand years...]
