Summer.
In a black abyss.
A beautiful woman in a star-studded gauze dress was standing in this abyss world with a frown on her face. Countless stars were twinkling in the darkness, as if the sky was dotted with stars.
Her brows were furrowed, her face was extremely pale, and her breath was as unsteady as a candle flame... At this moment, the starlight in the sky was introduced into her body little by little, slowly healing her injuries.
In the recent battle with the Key to the Gate, Nyx was attacked head-on by the Gate of Truth and was seriously injured.
The injuries caused by the Gate of Truth are not so easy to recover from. Even if Nyx tries her best to heal herself, she can only save her life. As for participating in the battle again, it is almost impossible.
As the sky was filled with starlight, a ray of magical light suddenly opened up from nothingness. Nyx seemed to have sensed something, opened her eyes in surprise, and looked in the direction of the magic circle.
"…Merlin?"
"Long time no see, Lord Nyx." Merlin, wearing a magic robe and holding a staff, walked slowly out of the light and spoke with a smile.
"I thought you were lost in the universe."
"No... I was just looking for something there."
Nix said with a pale face, "Now that you are back, go help outside... The situation outside is not good."
"I can't defeat the Key to the Gate by myself." Merlin shrugged, "I need help."
He raised the staff in his hand again, and three magic circles quickly took shape under Nyx's body, one light green, one golden, and one azure... As these three magic circles appeared, rich vitality surged out of them!
"This is..." Nyx looked down in confusion.
"Three healing forbidden spells in total." Merlin's magic robe moved without wind. He held down the brim of his hood and spoke seriously, "Your injuries are very serious... If you want to heal yourself, it will probably take decades..."
"Can you cure it?"
"able."
"How long?" Nyx's eyes lit up slightly.
Merlin was silent for a moment, "Probably, a few hundred hairs..."
Under Nyx's astonished gaze, the surging vitality poured directly into Nyx's body from the formation. Her injuries healed quickly under the magic, and her shaky and erratic breath began to stabilize at an astonishing speed!
These three forbidden healing spells operated at full capacity for dozens of seconds before gradually fading... A slender white hand tore open the magic fiber that looked like a giant cocoon and walked out.
Nyx stood in the night, looking at himself in surprise for a moment.
"Your magic is indeed amazing, Merlin."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Merlin held up the brim of his hat with one hand and bowed gracefully.
As the two were talking, two causal threads penetrated the void and quietly connected to their bodies. At the same time, two illusory ward portals quickly took shape in the void... as if they were waiting for their arrival.
"What's going on?" Nyx looked at the causal threads that had condensed into substance on her body and the portal connected to it, and spoke in confusion.
"It was the dean who called us." Merlin said with a smile, "It seems that this time we can see some long-lost faces..."
"He has returned to Daxia?" Nyx immediately walked towards the illusory ward door and spoke firmly.
"I'm going to help him."
Nyx and Merlin walked through the bright starlight at the same time and came to the two doors that were connected to their cause and effect.
They grasped the familiar door handle, looked at each other, and pushed it open with force!
…
[Eternal Secret Garden].
In the small wooden house, Braki, who was taking a leisurely nap on the bed, uttered a light exclamation and suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked down at his body. Inside the white robe that exuded a faint floral scent, a thin thread was extending from his body, extending all the way to the nothingness outside the house...
He scratched his head in confusion, put on his shoes, got out of bed, and pushed the door open.
The breeze blew through the quiet garden, and countless blooming chrysanthemums were like golden waves, surging in the wind.
A few petals floated across Braki's handsome face. He raised his head slightly, looked at the gloomy sky above his head, and frowned unconsciously.
"Braki!"
A voice came from the garden.
Deep in the bushes, Eden, who was carefully weaving a flower basket, slowly stood up. A thread also floated out from her body, extending into the distance...
"Look there!" she said, pointing to the center of the surging golden sea of flowers.
Braki turned his head and saw an illusory door standing in the sea of flowers. It was the door of the ward in the Gods' Mental Hospital.
Braki walked to the door, as if he had thought of something, with a glimmer in his eyes.
"It's Dean Lin." Braki looked at his own causal thread and said softly, "Eden... Dean Lin needs our help."
"What are you waiting for?"
Eden took Braki's hand, and they stood in front of the portal of the sea of flowers, their white robes fluttering in the wind.
"Let's go... Or the dean will be waiting anxiously!"
"Um."
Braki smiled slightly, holding Eden's hand with one hand, and holding the door handle with the other hand, turning it gently...
"Dean Lin... we are here."
…
Space.
In the void not far from the earth, a stone statue floats silently...
The stone statue is completely black, and from the outside, it looks like an ancient ape sitting cross-legged. There is no trace of life in his body, as if he is just a sleeping corpse.
Rustle-
Suddenly, the stone statue trembled slightly, stone fragments fell from its body, and its silent eyes slowly opened...
A tyrannical and supreme divine power descends upon the starry sky!
"Lin Qiye?"
Sun Wukong's body gradually stood up. He looked at the thread of cause and effect extending from his body and the hospital gate standing in the space in the distance. In his eyes, there seemed to be two scorching suns burning!
He seemed to have guessed something. He took a step forward and his figure instantly flashed in front of the door.
"Lin Qiye... I, Old Sun, am here!"
Click—
The door handle was turned instantly!
…
Earth.
Underground ruins.
In the wreckage of this huge stone buried deep underground, a figure wearing a purple royal robe stood up from the lonely throne.
Gilgamesh glanced at the hospital door that suddenly appeared, his eyes narrowed slightly.
With a flick of his fingertips, the underground ruins instantly turned into part of the treasure house, shrank into his palm, and disappeared without a trace.
"Lin Qiye, are you calling me..."
The purple royal robe moved without wind, and the pressure of the Supreme God level was released. The king's ultimate intention was condensed in the pair of purple pupils, and endless majesty and tyranny filled the entire underground world.
He took a step forward and came to the illusory door.
"This king... responds to your call."
