The sun gradually rose, and the entire great hall was filled with people sprawled in disarray!
Those from the Zhongdu Imperial Guard slept on the ground.
Finally, Chu Tian's gaze landed on Dong Dong.
It was time to ask her about that blood-colored long saber.
After awakening her memories this time, he hadn't seen her use that blood saber in combat.
This made Chu Tian very curious.
With a thought, he sent a telepathic message to Dong Dong.
"Come with me somewhere!"
"Huh? Okay!" Dong Dong seemed surprised to receive Chu Tian's message, but she didn't refuse.
As the two left, Chu Tian paused at the entrance of the great hall and looked back at Wei Jin.
He gave him a knowing glance.
The latter hesitated, his expression conflicted.
The next second, his entire body tumbled off the stool and fell directly to the ground.
Chu Tian saw a foot being stealthily retracted.
It belonged to Wei Du, the old city lord!
Chu Tian's lips twitched slightly, and he held back a smile as he turned to leave.
Before long, Wei Jin came trotting out behind them.
Seeing him arrive, Chu Tian waved his hand, and the Shattered Star mecha appeared.
He called out to the two of them, preparing to log in...
"Wait..." Two figures came running out of the great hall entrance, scrambling as they went.
Chu Tian stopped and asked, "What are you two doing coming out?"
"Boss, where are you going? Are you leaving?" The ones who came out were Xiao Hei and Miao Zuo!
Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.
"Yes, but not now. I'll notify you when I'm leaving!"
Originally, Chu Tian had planned to leave without saying goodbye, but seeing how anxious they were, he could only make this promise.
In truth, Chu Tian felt reluctant to part as well!
But he knew that if he completed the mission and was teleported back, he could hardly bring anything with him.
Unless it was items stored in his divine soul space.
He had tried it once before; the final control of the Shattered Star mecha could be stored within his divine platform.
Otherwise, he might not even be able to take the Shattered Star with him.
However, he couldn't store living beings within his divine platform.
At most, he could bring the Qilin beast Xiao Hei and Hao back to Blue Star!
Because of his previous refinement of the Myriad Beast Seal, his divine soul space could store magical beasts and demonic beasts.
Once they entered his divine soul space, they would be assigned to the small crescent island in the south.
He hadn't yet asked if they were willing to go with him.
But Miao Zuo... there was no way. He could only leave him here!
As for Wei Jin, he definitely wouldn't leave with him.
After all, this was his birthplace, and his father and lover were both here.
Originally, Chu Tian had planned to deal with the Blood Clan King's matters and then ask Xiao Hei upon his return.
If he was willing, Chu Tian would take him back to Blue Star.
This would also be a great help in facing the future tribulation.
"Are you going to the Central Domain? Just bring us along! I also have something to tell you!" Xiao Hei said to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian glanced at Wei Jin and Dong Dong, thinking to himself.
This Xiao Hei really had no situational awareness.
Didn't he see that I was trying to create some private time for them?
"You don't need to look at me, I know what you're thinking, but this is not the time to consider other matters!
The great battle has just ended. Little Dragon Girl has already gone to the Eastern Domain. She said she needs to expedite the dredging of the underground river channels to supply water to the entire Sea of Death.
The Snake Turtle remains in the north, tasked with finding a way to completely purify the plague in the Far North Ice Plains.
I can't be idle either; I need to reorganize the entire Southwest Domain's beast tribes.
As for matters between us..." Dong Dong said, taking a step closer to Wei Jin.
She reached out and held Wei Jin's remaining arm.
Although her expression was calm, she turned to Chu Tian and said, "You don't need to worry about it!"
After saying this, she cast her gaze towards Wei Jin, "Don't you agree?"
"Ah? Oh! Yes... yes..." Wei Jin looked utterly bewildered.
It was as if... happiness had arrived too quickly.
Chu Tian and the others were also shocked.
This... the change was too sudden.
"You don't have to be like this! It's just that before, I didn't think I had any hope of surviving this battle!
If anyone in the entire Sea of Death knows the Blood Clan best, it should be me!" Dong Dong revealed the truth!
Hearing this, Chu Tian understood. Since she had obtained the key to the Blood Clan's spaceship,
she must have had dealings with the Blood Clan countless years ago.
She was well aware of the Blood Clan's might, which was why she deliberately kept her distance from Wei Jin, not wanting to give him false hope, only to end up separated by life and death.
"You called me out, probably to get it back, right?" Dong Dong said as she spoke.
Her palm grabbed at the void, and a spatial rift opened.
Looking through the rift, they saw a fiery red world, with endless flames burning.
Amidst the flames, the blood-colored longsword floated.
"I stole this. At that time, it had already gestured an artifact spirit and was filled with destructive intent. I could only seal it with my innate fire, intending to refine and destroy it!
But it was indeed powerful, constantly backlashing, causing my indestructible body to undergo constant nirvana rebirth!
After 500,000 years of cycles, each time I was reborn, I became stronger, but I could only erase its artifact spirit!"
Dong Dong spoke with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
After saying this, she turned her gaze back to Wei Jin. "This is also one of the reasons I ignored you. After hundreds or thousands of years... you would turn to dust,
while I would continue to live on, all alone..."
At this point, everyone exchanged glances.
They didn't know what to say. Wei Jin, however, squeezed Dong Dong's delicate hand tightly!
His eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
"Don't worry, hundreds of years is definitely not enough for me to live... Look at what this is!" Wei Jin released Dong Dong's hand.
He reached into his spatial bag and produced a round, golden-hued bead, which appeared in his hand.
Everyone turned their gaze to his hand.
After a brief silence.
Xiao Hei was the first to jump up.
"Isn't this that... what... Qi Soul Bead? Where did you get so many?"
Xiao Hei leaped forward, reaching out to grab the Qi Soul Bead.
Wei Jin, however, flipped his hand and collected the entire bunch... dozens of Qi Soul Beads.
"Elder Turtle gave it to me. He said... as long as I get you... uh..." Wei Jin stopped here, glancing at Dong Dong.
He paused, feeling a bit awkward, and then quickly continued, "Elder Turtle said this item can help me break through the Void Realm and reach above the Void Realm...
It can even reshape my arm, and my lifespan can be extended..."
As he said this, Chu Tian remembered that he had originally planned to go to the Far North to find these Qi Soul Beads.
Due to an unexpected encounter, he had forgotten all about it.
"No wonder, after countless nirvana and advancements, my progress isn't as significant as this old turtle's nap!" Dong Dong's eyes widened.
Everyone understood her meaning; it turned out that the old turtle had been living by eating these things!
And his advancements were immense, even faster than Dong Dong, the Dragon Sparrow, whose progress came from endless nirvana cultivation.
This indicated that the Qi Soul Beads Chu Tian spoke of were indeed divine cultivation items.
"Did he say how many Qi Soul Beads are there?" Chu Tian asked.
Wei Jin shook his head and said, "Elder Turtle didn't say. However... he meant for me to use them as I please!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian's eyes narrowed.
It seemed he still had to make another trip to the Far North.
However, he first needed to go to the Central Domain to deliver the blood saber... the spaceship key.
And after mining the veins there and settling everything, he could go to the Far North, procure a batch of Qi Soul Beads, and then set sail for home.
