Above the mysterious river.
Huang Diâs warning made everyone realize that something was wrong.
Although Zhang Hu was anxious, he wasnât stupid. He grabbed Huang Diâs arm.
âNo! If we want to leave, weâll leave together. If I take them away, what will you do? Are you going to distract us to look for you again?â
In his desperation, Zhang Hu no longer cared about his manners.
He pushed Huang Di into the crowd and said anxiously, âIf someone wants to go, then weâre all going together. No one can be left alone!â
Huang Di raised his hand and retracted the barrier. He said solemnly, âAlright, letâs not waste any time. Weâll leave now!â
The group quickly passed through the foggy area and flew straight ahead. In a short while, they arrived at the other side of the river.
As expected, this was still a natural place, and there was no sign of Gu Changqing.
What happened ten days ago was like a dream to everyone.
However, Gu Changqing had really disappeared into the long river.
Zhang Hu walked around the riverbank a few times, his heart filled with grief and indignation.
âWe should have come earlier. We shouldnât have listened to Senior Huang. If we had come earlier, we might have been able to find the traces left behind by Boss. However, itâs not too late now. I swear that I must find Boss, or elseâ¦
His eyes reddened as he grabbed his hair in frustration. The veins on his neck bulged.
Slap!
The usually calm Vermilion Bird was furious. She raised her hand and slapped Zhang Hu.
âOtherwise, weâll all disappear together, right?â
âWhat did Boss say before he left? If he wasnât around, he told us to listen to
Huang Diâs arrangements. It was Huang Di, not you!â
Zhang Hu blushed. He knew that he had lost his mind and that it was inappropriate for him to say that. However, this wasnât a reason to not look for their Boss.
Zhao Feng and Wu Rui stepped forward, one on each side and separated the two.
âBoss is missing, and everyone is anxious. Canât we just talk nicely?â
Huang Di looked at the riverâs surface indifferently and said calmly, âGu Changqing is a person with great luck. Itâs impossible for anything to happen to him. He must have been delayed by some fortuitous encounter. Since the target is Zhulu City, then weâll go to Zhulu City. Perhaps we can meet up with him there!â
Huang Diâs calmness calmed Zhang Hu down.
Everyone began to release their divine sense, exploring as they advanced. However, many days later, they suddenly discovered a shocking fact.
Zhulu City seemed to have disappeared!
Or rather, it didnât exist at all.
At this time, it was not far from Universe Cityâs closing time. The group was caught in a dilemma.
Should they continue searching or prepare to leave?
If they didnât get out before the city closed, they would be trapped here for a billion years!
Everything in Zhulu County was developing toward prosperity.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
On this day, Gu Changqing walked out of the forbidden area.
The people who were already familiar with his habits did not take the initiative to surround him and greet him.
This was because everyone knew that this mighty figure who had saved everyone did not seem to like being praised.
Spreading out his divine sense, he explored every corner of this space.
There were no more Otherworldly Demons. Even the space beasts had been found and killed by the human warriors.
It was as if there were no more enemies.
However, Gu Changqing understood that the stronger ones were just hiding.
It was not that they did not exist.
After some investigation, he still could not find the river he came from.
Counting the time, there wasnât much left before Universe City closed, and he was still trapped in this place.
If it closed, the next time it descended would be a billion years later.
What would Blue Star look like after a billion years?
Gu Changqing fell into deep thought. However, he immediately felt relieved.
With Huang Diâs current battle prowess, there was no one in the entire universe who could rival him.
With a potential index close to 31,000 points, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he could easily crush them.
Together with Zhang Hu and the others, their potential index had already exceeded 20,000.
Even if he wasnât around, Huang Di could still sweep across the universe.
Not to forget that there were also the divine rune energy crystals and equipment they had collected from Universe City.
Those materials could also nurture a large number of experts for Blue Star and the human race.
Gu Changqing didnât have anymore worries for Blue Star. It was just that he couldnât let it go.
It was not only the planet, but also the human race as well as his little home.
Gu Yanyan, this daughter whom he had yet to give enough fatherly love to. And Lin Yueyao.
If he couldnât get out, he would be trapped in Universe City for a billion years.
Gu Changqing felt the most guilty toward the mother and daughter.
He believed that Huang Di and Zhang Hu would protect them for those billion years. They would even wait for his return at all costs.
However, who would be willing to endure a billion years of separation?
There were still 10 days left until the city closed.
Gu Changqing sat in the middle of Zhulu County.
An old tree squinted at him and suddenly spoke, âYour Excellency the Star
Emperor, why do I feel a small trace of my aura from you?â
The wrinkled bark on the old tree trunk made it impossible to see its expression.
âYour aura?
Gu Changqing was stunned. He probed his entire body in confusion, but he did not find anything at all.
He replied faintly, âAre you mistaken?â
The old tree shook its trunk and waved its hand in a human-like manner. âI canât be wrong! Iâm 100% sure that you have my aura on you, and itâs from two months ago.â
Seeing the treeâs affirmative answer, Gu Changqing recalled what had happened two months ago.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, âWhatâs your name?â
The old tree was stunned for a moment, and then said leisurely, âI originally didnât have a name, but someone once carved one on my body and told me that it was mine.â
As he spoke, two ancient words slowly appeared on the trunk of the old tree.
On it was written, âYu Qing.â
Seeing this name, Gu Changqingâs face revealed a surprised expression.
The tree saw his reaction and hurriedly asked, âYour Excellency the Star
Emperor, am I right?â
Gu Changqing couldnât help but laugh. Compared to the Azure Emperor Clan, he had a direct relationship with this old tree Yu Qing.
Perhaps Yu Qing was the Azure Emperor Clanâs ancestor. However, it was a fact that the clan betrayed Blue Star.
Two months ago, Yu Hao, that clanâs ancestor, was beaten by him outside the Rebirth Bridge.
No one would have thought that he would actually meet the Azure Emperor Clanâs true old ancestor in this place.
What time, luck, and fate!
Gu Changqing couldnât help but feel emotional.
He didnât answer Yu Qingâs question because the first thing he wanted to do was kill that bitch, Diqin Naxi.
The second matter was to exterminate the Azure Emperor Clan. However, saying such a thing in front of Yu Qing would be a little too much.
Gu Changqing changed the topic and asked, âWho carved words on your body and gave you your name?â
However, just as he finished speaking, spatial fluctuations suddenly swept up in the sky above Zhulu County.
A black vortex with a diameter of nearly a million feet slowly formed. âThis is⦠The aura of an Otherworldly Demon!â
Gu Changqingâs eyes were like lightning as he looked at the sky.
The aura flowing out of the black spatial vortex was incompatible with the current space.
Such an aura could actually come from an Otherworldly Devil.
âAfter waiting for so long, are you finally willing to attack again?â
The strange runes on his body shone, and the grayish-white armor with strange runes appeared. In the sky, Divine Rune Concretization descended. The world was filled with killing intent, signifying that a great battle was about to descend..
