Alex reached out to Daya.
It was a short distance of one meter, but it seemed like a heavenly rift. No matter how hard he tried, he
could not advance for another half-step.
âHubby!â
Daya reached out as well, but she could not touch him at all. She burst into desperate tears.
âGo quickly! Go quickly!â
âThe space in the Well of Life is about to collapse, I⦠Iâll protect our daughter, I swear!â
Alex shouted. As the golden core spun vigorously, the divine power enveloped his entire body. The
chaotic Chi energy wrapped both the father and daughter tightly. The next second, a tremendous force
wrapped and devoured the alternate dimensionâs passage, dragging the entire space into Undead Gate
with a swish.
In the blink of an eye, everything disappeared.
âAhh!â Daya cried hysterically, but at that moment, that node had already disappeared.
Aesop said, âMaster, letâs go quickly. The alternate dimensionâs passage on this side is going to
disappear too.â
Jade picked up Daya with her arm. âGo!â
The crowd hurriedly retreated to the Well of Lifeâs narrow passage entrance and rushed upward
desperately.
The sound of whistling energy carried over behind them as a gush of immense force rushed into the
Well of Life, pushing everyone upward. The Well of Life erupted endlessly with a splash, spraying an
infinite amount of Spring Water of Life out of the inside. Even the crowd was sprayed out of the well,
and the ground turned into a pond depression.

Buzz!
Inside the dimensional passage, Alex dared not relax in the slightest as he hugged his daughter tightly.
The force suddenly retreated and crushed all the matters into a ball. Such a force was simply
indescribable. For a moment, Alex felt as if his bones had let out a series of burst sounds. His peerless,
powerful bones were crushed alive, and boundless pain swept through his entire body.
However, he did not forget his mission, he had to protect his daughter.
âRequiem Clock!â
Alex immediately summoned the Requiem Clock and then hid inside the clock while carrying his
daughter.
Bong, bong, bong! Bong, bong, bong!
The Requiem Clock emitted a series of deafening sounds like the morning bell and the evening drum.
This was a piece of mighty Buddhist artifact with extraordinary power that held out against the spatial
compression.
Then, it was a burst of violent spatial tremor.
Alex was slightly relieved as he managed to resist it. While checking his daughterâs condition, he
hurriedly ran the Chi in the golden core to recover the broken bones. The divinity glowing with vigor in
the little one protected her well. At this moment, she looked at Alex with a pair of black eyes while
babbling.
âWhat a poor little kid. You have to follow me, your father, through this kind of hardship without even
getting a name yet.â
âHeheheâ¦â
The little one did not understand Alexâs words, yet she opened her mouth and laughed.
Alex could only seek joy amidst sorrow after being affected by his daughterâs smile.
However, a strong thought surged in his mind-he had to protect her life no matter what.
âWoo, wooâ¦â
Hiding in the Requiem Clock, he could hear the whistling sound in the space outside. It sounded like
the wind, yet it was not.
At times, there was even the sound of something hitting the clock.
The divine power inside the golden core constantly flowed toward the Requiem Clock. The
consumption was huge, and Alex himself could feel it. The large golden lake of the divine power kept
shrinking, and the amount of loss was inestimable.
In this way, he had been floating and sinking in the void, not knowing the time nor space. It might be
very long, it might be very short.
The next second, the space suddenly shook violently, and the pressure on his body plunged.
He seemed to have rushed out of the collapsed alternate dimensionâs passage and returned to the
normal space.
