NOVPUBHe intended to use these essence blood to resurrect the nine ancient divine beasts.
Because the life force of the Divine Continent had birthed them, there would be no fear of relations with the Yuan Central Continent after their resurrection.
Of course, the life force of a world is ultimately finite and could not support endless resurrections.
Xu Zimei’s critical task was still to find the Sun Candle Fire.
From the fusion of it and Taiying Youying, he hoped to find the method for species reproduction.
This birthing process would still take some time, and while the Nine-Headed Divine Beasts were in gestation, Xu Zimei made another grand gesture.
A tree descended from the heavens, followed by a deafening dragon chant that echoed at the edge of the world.
This tree was the Dragon Tree that Xu Zimei had previously obtained from Secluded Dragon Gorge.
The dozens of Dragon Fruits on the tree had ceased their gestation.
This was due to Xu Zimei bringing it out from Secluded Dragon Gorge.
Now, he replanted the Dragon Tree within the Divine Continent.
He planned to slowly alter it with the rules of the Divine Continent, and then to gestate new divine dragons from it.
These things would also be the first batch of creatures of the Divine Continent.
...…
When everything had ended, the Creation Force around Xu Zimei surged once more, the Chaos Pearl emerged, and passing through layers of space, he once again arrived at the location of the River of Fate.
The crystalline river was hanging upside down above the Milky Way, the River of Fate flowing slowly.
At this moment, with the power of the Chaos Pearl, he plunged into the River of Fate, intending to travel to the Mythical Era, as well as to the era when the Time Emperor bore the burden of destiny.
He sought to trace the origins of the Cang Race and Old Land’s curse, as well as that of the Ancient Remnants.
The River of Fate flowed slowly, and Xu Zimei, even with the presence of the Chaos Pearl, dared not make any sudden movements.
Time within the River of Fate did not track years; here, only major and minor eras were recorded.
Xu Zimei’s figure gradually faded into the river.
...…
After a long, long time, ripples began to emerge within the River of Fate.
The originally flowing river undulated slightly, and Xu Zimei’s figure appeared in midair.
"This Time Emperor really is a lovesick fool," Xu Zimei murmured to himself, then vanished from midair.
When he returned to the outside world, half a month had passed.
At this moment, the sky had just darkened, he walked out of the secluded meditation chamber, and the first thing he did was to meet with the Divine Emperor.
"You’re leaving?" The Divine Emperor asked with some surprise, looking at Xu Zimei.
"Yes, leaving now," Xu Zimei nodded.
"But even with the protection of the Heavenly Demon, you cannot escape from this cursed land, and you might even encounter danger," said the Divine Emperor.
"I just want to have a look amidst the curse and verify my suspicions," Xu Zimei replied.
"Have you decided?" the Divine Emperor asked.
He knew that he could not stop Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei nodded, and the two of them once again passed through the spatial teleportation to exit the Abyss.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the entire Old Land was shrouded in transformation.
After bidding farewell to the Divine Emperor, Xu Zimei proceeded straight ahead.
In front of him, space rippled strangely, with streams of the Power of Time permeating throughout.
The space-time rules here were utterly chaotic.
When Xu Zimei encountered these rules, his figure disappeared within them.
...
Xu Zimei only felt turbulence around him as inexplicable changes were happening to his body.
At one moment, within the reversal of time, he reverted to an infant.
At another, he prematurely aged into a white-haired old man, experiencing life, aging, sickness, and death.
Finally, after enduring this very special transformation for a long time, Xu Zimei saw countless light points appear before his eyes.
He grabbed one of the light points, felt it for a moment, then shook his head and muttered, "Not this one."
He wandered among these light points for a long time, until finally, when he grabbed another light point, his eyes lit up.
Spiritual energy surged around him, and he was sucked into the light point.
...…
The desolate plain seemed particularly barren.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky.
Xu Zimei slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
He was on an uneven dirt road, surrounded by overgrown weeds.
In his perception, the spiritual energy here was very dense.
"It should be here," Xu Zimei said to himself.
At this moment, he could not sense Bai Meng or Chaos.
Xu Zimei casually found a place beside the dirt road to rest and waited quietly.
"It should be almost time."
Before long, the sky changed.
The calm spiritual energy above suddenly became violent, and ripples spread through the space.
Accompanied by loud shouts, a young boy fell from the sky.
The boy fell not far from Xu Zimei, who quickly rushed over.
Looking at the unconscious boy, Xu Zimei used spiritual energy to heal the wounds on his body.
As the boy was about to wake up, Xu Zimei quickly lay down beside him.
...
The white-robed boy slowly opened his eyes, looking lost at the scene before him.
"This turbulence in time and space better not be serious," the boy murmured. "I should have never messed with it."
He looked around and at first glance saw Xu Zimei, who was lying next to him.
The boy placed his hand near Xu Zimei’s nose and, upon finding breath, he sighed in relief.
"Brother, wake up, are you alright?"
Xu Zimei opened his eyes groggily, looking around bewildered, and asked, "Where is this? Who are you?"
"You don’t know?" the white-robed boy asked curiously. "Where is your home?"
"My home is in the Extreme West Region," Xu Zimei replied. "I was out training in the Eastern Continent when a tumultuous flow suddenly appeared above and drew me in.
When I woke up, I was here.
Who are you?"
"My name is Tian Shi," the white-robed boy replied. "My home is also on the Eastern Continent."
After the white-robed boy finished speaking, he began to ponder whether the commotion he had caused was too great, dragging someone else into it as well.
"Oh, my name is Xu Zimei."
"We should first find out where we are," the boy named Tian Shi thought out loud. "Hopefully it’s not too far from the Eastern Continent."
Xu Zimei nodded, stood up, and stepped onto the slope of the dirt road beside him, looking into the distance all around.
At the end of the empty plain, vague buildings could be seen in the distance.
Because they were too far away, Xu Zimei could not see them very clearly.
"Let’s go there and ask, otherwise, there is nowhere else around," Xu Zimei said.
Tian Shi nodded, and the two set off together toward the distant location.
...
"This barren place, who knows where the turbulence has taken me," Tian Shi complained all the way, and eventually, the two finally arrived before their destination.
This was a rather sizable town.
