Xuan Gu Xian Ling raised her head and saw that the heavy cumulus clouds in the sky were about to dissipate, and her only remaining consciousness was about to disappear.
After leaving the Xuan Gu Zhou, she had been silent until today in order to find a way for Xuan Gu Zhou to return home, and finally she got her wish.
Wherever Luo Xue is, that is the Xuan Bone Boat.
And she had gone home.
Xianzhou... has returned home.
Even if it is a tragedy where only one survives out of nine.
"I have one last word for you, Luo Xue." The voice of Xuan Gu Xian Ling became increasingly ethereal and unreal. "In fact, your real enemy is not Emperor Dugu."
"It's... 'Doomsday'."
"—God, 'Doomsday'"
Chapter 281: The Sorrow of the Immortal Boat
“… … .”
I don’t know how long it took, or maybe it was just a moment, Luo Xue slowly opened her eyes.
Her consciousness was clearer than ever before, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, but her expression showed no surprise or joy, as if she had experienced countless long years.
"Mysterious Bone Fairy..."
Luo Xue raised her head, but could no longer see the figure of Xuan Gu Xian Ling... The ghost that lingered in the past finally found rest, and the shadow of obsession completely dissipated.
"That's fine," Luo Xue sighed, "It's time to end this."
She turned her head to look at the small black bone boat not far away. Her consciousness easily controlled the entire boat. She clearly saw the slightly anxious and worried expressions of several people in the black bone boat.
"It looks like not much time has passed."
A slight smile appeared on Luo Xue's lips, but when she looked into the distance, her expression became a little more solemn.
"The real enemy... God's 'Doomsday'?"
From the words of Xuan Gu Xian Ling, we can learn that the god named "Doomsday" and the god with traces of her are two completely different gods, and it can be said that they have nothing to do with each other.
But what is the same is that these two gods brought nothing but disasters.
An unknown god destroyed almost an entire world bubble, leaving only a remnant of the world that was not completely eroded, mercifully leaving a glimmer of life.
When the god "Doomsday" appeared in the ancient times, he destroyed all the avenues except the avenue of the end, thus triggering a world bubble-level collapse. The universe fell apart from then on, leaving only world fragments scattered in Guixu... and larger world fragments.
What’s even more terrifying is that the evil demons from outside the domain have since become an indelible nightmare for the world, until now the “doomsday” of the gods has finally brought about the true doomsday.
With the evil demons from outside the domain rampant, there is no hope for any living creature to survive.
But what role does Emperor Dugu play in this? Is he a minion of "Doomsday"
Or maybe...
"Luo Xue?"
At this moment, a familiar voice brought Luo Xue's thoughts back to reality. She looked back and saw a tall figure standing in Guixu. Her elegant purple-red dress fluttered slowly, with some flames burning faintly on it.
"How did you get here?"
Another voice sounded doubtful, but the source also came from the tall woman.
When she saw the other person's face, Luo Xue showed a slightly surprised expression.
"Feng Zun? And... Huang Zun?"
"It's me."
Feng Zun nodded, and as she finished her words, her figure dissipated and then re-condensed in front of Luo Xue.
There was a small and cute purple bird standing on her shoulder. If you looked closely, you could see mysterious and wonderful Taoist patterns flowing on the bird's feathers. Just one glance at it made your eyes feel like they were burning.
"You can contact Guixu?" Feng Zun looked Luo Xue up and down, frowned, and said in disbelief, "And with the body of a living being..."
"Don't you also..."
Luo Xue raised her head slightly, but Huang Zun interrupted her first.
"She and I are just incarnations of blood flames. Our consciousness can only stay in Guixu for a short time with the help of the Great Road of the End. What's wrong with you?"
"It's going to take a lot of time to explain this." Luo Xue said helplessly, "Let's get on my shuttle first. Xiaoyao hasn't had time to see you yet."
When Su Yiyao was mentioned, Feng Zun's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he said softly,
"good."
Feng Zun still has more questions about Luo Xue and the other world that he needs to ask her.
Although he was extremely reluctant to see Luo Xue and the others return, he finally welcomed them back.
... ...
When Luo Xue returned to the Xuan Gu Boat, everyone finally felt relieved.
At the same time, when Luo Huaxin saw the appearance of Feng Zun and Huang Zun, she was not surprised, because she had already informed the two masters before setting off to avoid any accidents.
Having not seen each other for many years, Su Yiyao indeed missed her master and blood ancestor. After a brief moment of tenderness, Feng Zun dismissed everyone, isolated the space, and left Luo Xue alone.
"First of all, who are you?" Feng Zun said calmly, "So far, only the evil demons from outside the domain can be directly exposed in Guixu... Given your current situation, although I don't want to question you, I have to be more cautious."
"I... "
Luo Xue, who had just learned the whole truth, smiled bitterly, sighed, and slowly told her situation.
Including the fact that she was a Xuan Gu fairy and carried traces of unknown gods, Feng Zun and Huang Zun, the only two people who had survived the eternal catastrophe, were stunned when they heard it.
Finally, after Luo Xue revealed the whole matter of the gods' "doomsday", Feng Zun's expression finally became serious.
She reinforced the space isolation again, and then slowly said,
"Yes, there is indeed such a god... a god far superior to the Great Emperor. Calling Him 'Doomsday' is indeed very descriptive.
"Because... except for the Avenue of the End, all other avenues have completely collapsed and no longer exist."
Having said this, Feng Zun paused, revealing a somewhat strange look.
"In fact, the reason why the Avenue of the End did not collapse... may be because there is no corresponding emperor."
"Weren't you... the emperor?"
Luo Xue widened her eyes, she had always thought that Feng Zun Huang Zun had fallen from the realm of the Great Emperor, because other great emperors from the ancient times, such as Yu Ducheng, were the same.
They rebuilt their realm after their fall, but most of them remained at the early stage of the Saint Realm, and only a few could reach the Quasi-Emperor realm again.
"No, because the Nangong family, who practiced the Great Dao of the End, controlled the throne of the Great Emperor." Feng Zun said, "But she also practiced other great ways, and it was other great ways that made her the Great Emperor... I don't know if it was a coincidence or a loophole, but the Great Dao of the End finally survived in such a strange way.
“As for the fall of the Nangong family… I have never taken the last step, because I know very well that as long as I step into the realm of the Great Emperor, I will definitely attract the attention of the gods.”
It is obvious that Feng Zun is not confident enough to face a god directly, so he has been staying in the quasi-emperor realm.
... Throughout the ages, countless emperors have failed to escape disaster under his watch. How could Feng Zun do it alone
"I didn't expect you to carry traces of another god."
Feng Zun stared at Luo Xue, his expression unable to hide the nervousness, and the same was true of the Huang Zun on her shoulder.
Only by facing the gods directly can one know the true horror of the gods, which is an existence that cannot be measured by strength.
Because His existence represents the absolute.
"Actually, I didn't feel anything the whole time," Luo Xue touched her nose, "It was only when I crossed the barrier of the world bubble that I slightly activated His power."
With only the Xuan Gu Immortal Boat, there is no way they can cross the world bubble barrier, which is as powerful as an inconceivable chasm, because this is a realm that only gods can set foot in.
Even the Xuan Gu Immortal Boat in its heyday crashed into the post-apocalyptic world by chance because of a "divine disaster".
"In front of the gods, we are all mortals."
Huang Zun sighed solemnly. The reason why her body collapsed and scattered in Guixu was closely related to the existence of gods.
"By the way, your current identity... Can I understand it as the reincarnation of the Xuan Gu Immortal Spirit?" Feng Zun asked curiously.
"It should be... ok, right?" Luo Xue scratched the back of her head. "I still have some memories of the Immortal Boat, but not much. I can also use all the power of the Immortal Boat... But I am not the Xuan Gu Immortal Spirit of that year. She herself... This Immortal Spirit has confirmed this with me."
"Such a wonderful existence..."
Feng Zun exclaimed in amazement, even in her countless tens of thousands of years, she had never encountered anyone like Luo Xue.
Then her expression became serious and she continued,
“In fact, I witnessed the launch of nine immortal boats that year. They were from several ancient weapon-refining sects with ingenious craftsmanship. All the weapon-refining techniques in the universe came from them... and the immortal boats were the proudest works of these ancient weapon-refining sects.
"However, the immortal ships encountered a 'divine disaster' when they set sail. Three of them crashed on the spot, and only six managed to escape into the Guixu... You should know the rest."
Luo Xue nodded. The immortal boats that encountered the divine disaster again in Guixu were almost all destroyed, and only one black bone boat escaped into another world and survived.
She also knew that the reason why the Ancient Weapon Refining Sect was so obsessed with escaping the world was because they were the first to be noticed by the god "Doomsday" when the catastrophe was about to occur.
The gaze of God will leave traces, and the existence that is branded will be watched by God at all times, and will never escape the "divine disaster" brought by "doomsday".
"Emperor Dugu controls five wreckages of immortal ships, but there are still three wreckages of immortal ships... that have always remained in my hands." Feng Zun calmly said this shocking secret, "Since these three immortal ships did not escape into the Guixu, their integrity... is higher than the five in Emperor Dugu's hands.
"If you really possess all the powers of the Mysterious Bone Fairy, perhaps they will be of use to you."
"this... "
Luo Xue's pupils shrank slightly. All along, she had ignored the three immortal boats that crashed before they even set sail.
Because most of her memories about the fairy boat were after it set sail - Xuan Gu Fairy's consciousness was intermittent, and it was only after a long time that she formed a complete self-awareness.
"Lord Fengzun, how did you..." Luo Xue asked puzzledly.
"Of course, the Ancient Weapon Refining Sect could not have created such a great creation as the Nine Immortal Boats by itself. In fact, it took all the strength of the Ancient Weapon Refining Sect to build it, so there are many things in it that do not belong to the Ancient Weapon Refining Sect." Feng Zun said softly, "Unfortunately, among the three crashed immortal boats... one of them was the one that Huang Lai and I were at the helm of."
The three crashed immortal boats caused countless casualties, but Feng Zun and Huang Zun were very powerful at the time and they still saved many people, including themselves, and their strength was also intact.
Almost all the emperors fell in realm due to the collapse of the great way at the same time as the divine calamity occurred. On the contrary, the combat effectiveness of quasi-emperors like Feng Zun and Huang Zun was not affected much.
At that time, Feng Zun was very sad that the immortal boat he was helming crashed because of the gods, but later when he learned about the fate of other immortal boats, he felt heartbroken but also somewhat fortunate.
Guixu is the place where one truly dies without a burial place, with one's soul scattered and unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation, and the body disappears and dies.
"If that's the case, wouldn't there be... three more fairies like me?" Luo Xue asked.
Feng Zun shook his head and said, "The three immortal boats crashed shortly after they were built. Their spirits have not yet formed consciousness, so they cannot survive until now."
Luo Xue was silent. During this period of time, she had come into contact with too many things from the ancient times and knew how wonderful that glorious era was.
The culprit that has caused the world to fall to its current state is the powerless God.
If her real opponent is such an unknown and terrifying existence, does she really have a chance or hope of winning
Perhaps, even the minions of God cannot cross it...
"At least, you can defeat Emperor Dugu," Feng Zun saw Luo Xue's hesitation and smiled slightly, "At least, delay the arrival of the 'end of the world' a little bit..."
Luo Xue also started laughing, but her smile seemed a little forced.
Suddenly at this moment, Luo Xue thought of a point that she had overlooked before. After a slight pause, she asked,
"By the way, Master Fengzun, did the evil demons from outside the domain appear before or after the catastrophe of the gods? When did they appear?"
Feng Zun thought about it carefully and replied,
"It was after that, about a thousand or two thousand years ago - why, is there a problem?"
"... It's just an uncertain guess." Luo Xue's eyes flickered.
"Perhaps this is a puzzle that only you can understand and solve." Feng Zun said, she turned her head and looked outside the isolated door, and said, "Do you want to say goodbye to them?"
"I... "
Luo Xue opened her mouth, but when the words came to her lips she realized that she seemed not ready yet.
At least we are not ready for this aspect yet.
"You should tell them. They have been waiting for you for too long." Feng Zun also knew about Ling Ling. She said with regret, "It's a pity that you live in such a world..."
If it weren't for this disaster, how could we have experienced separation
This is a shocking gamble, the dealer is the God, the stakes are this world, and the only one who is qualified to sit opposite the God... is Luo Xue. Only she can withstand the gaze of the God.
"Um."
Luo Xue nodded solemnly.
