A Zhu Jiuyin and a Nen Mao Ren posed no threat to Chu Tian.
However, Chu Tian finding a way to subdue them without harming them was also not very realistic.
Still, the strange feeling in his heart grew stronger. Chu Tian had a hunch that this Zhu Jiuyin was Ye Ling's.
The狸猫 in front of him was the one Zhao Lei had always raised.
Encountering them in the spatial rift made Chu Tian very curious.
He wondered if it was his good luck or theirs.
Were they banished here, or did they remain in the spatial rift for some reason?
Logically, they should recognize him. Could it be that too much time had passed and they no longer remembered him?
What was going on with these two? They clearly knew they couldn't defeat him. If this was a chance encounter, they should have retreated. Yet, they were fighting him for the sake of a single object?
Could it be... to keep him away?
"There's something they need to guard here!" Chu Tian's eyes lit up again.
What they would guard should be...
"Stop!" Chu Tian couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed his divine sense.
The two creatures trembled violently and actually stopped attacking Chu Tian.
They stood on either side, staring at Chu Tian with vigilance.
Their stance clearly showed a tacit understanding that had been honed over a long time.
"You don't recognize me?"
Chu Tian knew they could understand human speech.
The 狸猫's emerald green eyes flickered as it tilted its head to look at the Zhu Jiuyin.
The latter didn't move, but Chu Tian still saw its eyelid twitch.
This made him even more certain that these two definitely recognized him, but they were still fighting him to the death. What did this mean?
"Where are Zhao Lei and Ye Ling?"
Since he could tell from their behavior that they definitely recognized him, he was sure they were the two pets raised by Zhao Lei and Ye Ling.
In fact, as Chu Tian asked this question, he was also very nervous.
He hadn't expected that after meeting Miao Zuo's residual soul, this guy would be staring at him, allowing him to find these old brothers and bring them home!
After the small world collapsed, he entered the spatial rift and encountered these two creatures.
It would be great if he could find Zhao Lei and Ye Ling because of this.
"We know who you are, which is why we can't let you leave!"
The 狸猫 spoke.
This was the first time Chu Tian had heard it speak human words.
It turned out to be a woman's voice.
Hearing these words, Chu Tian was stunned. Although it was a rhetorical question, he asked,
"Why?"
Chu Tian was very curious.
What it said seemed to imply that they were waiting for him here.
"Why bother talking nonsense with him? As long as we block here, he won't be able to find his masters and disturb their lives!"
The 狸猫 clearly wanted to say more.
The Zhu Jiuyin also spoke with a low hum.
Hearing this, Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh.
"You mean Zhao Lei and Ye Ling are still alive?" He gleaned the most important information from those words.
"Idiot!" However, the 狸猫, extremely contemptuous, cursed the Zhu Jiuyin.
If it hadn't said that, it wouldn't have exposed the elder and told itself not to talk nonsense.
Truly a blockhead.
No wonder people said his largest brain was only the size of a walnut.
It was indeed true.
"Where are they now?" Chu Tian quickly pressed.
"Forget about it. We won't let you leave here! They have suffered enough. They only recently began to live a good life, and they are already dead...
They died in that battle. Those events are in the past. Why should they experience them again?
You are not a good person!
That old man is not a good person either!"
The 狸猫's voice was somewhat shrill.
Chu Tian fell silent upon hearing this.
That's right. For him, the future battle was, in their eyes, something that had already happened once and was indeed in the past.
They had already experienced the destruction of the world once.
They had experienced an unparalleled battle once.
They had experienced despair once.
They had experienced death once.
They should not experience these things again now.
"Are they doing well now?" After a long time.
Chu Tian didn't initiate an attack, and the two creatures didn't either. Chu Tian made no move.
It was as if they were stalling for time.
"They are doing very well. Our little master was just born not long ago!"
The 狸猫 sat in the air.
It could sense the change in Chu Tian's state of mind.
"They have a child?" Chu Tian was genuinely surprised and delighted.
"Yes, a girl! After ten thousand years, these two finally managed it!" The 狸猫 seemed to be chatting about family matters with Chu Tian.
"Excellent, excellent! That Zhao Lei kid is finally doing something sensible," Chu Tian laughed.
"Move aside, I won't look for them, is that alright?"
Seeing that the 狸猫 wasn't responding to him, Chu Tian continued to speak.
"No. If you come to this world, you will surely not live peacefully in it. The masters will definitely hear news of you and come looking for you."
The 狸猫 shook its head. It thought very carefully.
Chu Tian's lips curved slightly.
"The way out should be behind you, right? Do you think the two of you can stop me?
Do you think the life they are living now is what they want?
Don't you want to return to Blue Star?
That's our home, isn't it?
Although the air here is good, and the sky is blue, it lacks the human touch that Blue Star possesses. Don't you feel it?
They don't understand what human touch is at all!
Move aside. I can choose not to take them away, not to bring them back. I still have people to protect and things to do.
For you, it's the past, but for me, Zhao Lei and Ye Ling on Blue Star are who I need to protect in the future!"
Chu Tian spoke to himself, slowly raising his gaze.
His eyes were filled with determination.
"I already told you, don't waste words with him. He always says the same things. This is the ninth time!
If he is allowed to lead the masters into war again this time, it would be fine if he succeeds.
But if he fails, then truly nothing will remain!
That old man also said that the Nine Revolutions Samsara Law can only reshape this world nine times!
He failed eight times. This time, we absolutely cannot let him go!"
The Zhu Jiuyin said again with a low hum.
"What?" Chu Tian's eyes widened.
This was the ninth time?
No wonder that kid Miao Zuo said he'd seen him again in his last wisp of residual soul.
No wonder he said there should be no more opportunities in the future.
Could it be that in the previous attempts, he gathered everyone around him, their ten thousand years of cultivation,
and still couldn't resist the Void God Realm?
Why is the Void God Realm so powerful?
Or is there another reason why Blue Star is destined to perish?
So many of them, even his grandfather, might have planned for countless years.
And still couldn't change the final outcome?
Chu Tian was somewhat stunned. That Zhu Jiuyin was傻头傻脑 and brainless.
He couldn't be lying to him with these words.
