The white-robed youth vanished.
Four women were left looking at each other.
Chu Tian's mother had the strangest expression.
The way that person had behaved just now was vastly different from before.
And what did that latter, aged voice mean?
Next were Zhang Chengcheng and Chen Yu'er.
Both of them looked bewildered.
Clearly, they didn't know why they had come here.
It was as if they had been forcibly brought here.
"Luoluo... who is this? What's happening to us?"
Zhang Chengcheng saw Luo Yi Yi.
She noticed that, like herself, Luo Yi Yi's body was transparent.
Gazing at the woman in black armor in the distance, she inquired.
From the moment they arrived until now, Zhang Chengcheng had not dared to meet Luo Yi Yi's eyes.
Luo Yi Yi did not speak, she smiled slightly.
She tapped the milky white jade stone on her chest.
Two beams of light shot out, directly entering Chen Yu'er and Zhang Chengcheng's foreheads.
The eyes of the two women slowly shifted from bewilderment to clarity.
The three looked at each other, their eyes filled with affection, like friends and sisters who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Sister, you left the Underworld for us too?"
If she had a physical body, Chen Yu'er would have been in tears when she said this.
Her face was filled with conflict and guilt.
"What else could I do?
I originally separated you to experience life on the Ancestral Star.
I thought that after you returned, you would gain enlightenment from your experiences and further your cultivation through the mortal world.
But... seeing how beautifully you lived, how could I bear for your consciousness to be forcibly erased by the laws of the Underworld?"
Luo Luo smiled faintly as she spoke.
"Sister..." Zhang Chengcheng also spoke hesitantly.
"Chengcheng jie, it seems you are the older sister now!" Luo Luo said with a playful smile.
She looked at Zhang Chengcheng with a different kind of meaning.
*Tzeng...*
Zhang Chengcheng's face, even in her current ethereal form, flushed red.
Instantly, she felt so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.
At that moment, their memories had become interconnected.
Even Chen Yu'er looked surprised, her gaze shifting between Luo Luo and Zhang Chengcheng.
Just then, Luo Luo turned her attention to Chen Yu'er, speaking with a smile.
"I didn't expect the three of us to fall for the same man!
And you, it was just because of a dream... *kekekeke*...
I finally know who the first girl my brother liked in this life was, it was you!"
Saying this, Luo Luo laughed.
In reality, Zhang Chengcheng and Chen Yu'er didn't know each other in this lifetime.
At this moment, they exchanged wry smiles.
"Alright, from now on... we'll chat properly. For now, let's buy some time for Jiu'er... uh... for Auntie!"
Luo Luo shifted her gaze to the Lord of the Underworld, who was staring blankly in the distance.
"En!" The two women also straightened their expressions.
"Auntie, are you ready? The Underworld cannot be without a master for even a moment, and the divine-body cannot enter the Ancestral Star!
These two rules cannot be broken!
Because of our special identities in the past, we will now help you shield the Underworld's laws.
...Temporarily taking on the divinity of the Lord of the Underworld! The duration is at most one hour...
Perhaps you can use the Underworld Jade."
Luo Luo said indifferently.
As she spoke, she touched her chest, and a piece of pure white jade stone materialized in her hand.
...
The underwater world.
The Whale Fall City had just experienced a violent tremor.
Everyone was in a state of panic.
Seawater tens of thousands of meters deep formed into whirlpools.
If Chu Tian and the others had not returned to Whale Fall City, the power of the whirlpools might have torn people to shreds.
The shield of Whale Fall City, supported by pearl glue, flickered.
But this anomaly came and went quickly.
No one knew what had happened.
Chu Tian, however, had no time to worry about these things.
He found that although his healing skills could not mend Chu Xinghe's wounds, they could prolong his life. However, Chu Xinghe was like a leaky battery.
No matter how many times Chu Tian cast his healing spells, his body did not retain any of the energy.
After the earth-shattering anomaly ended.
Everyone looked at Chu Tian, who was desperately trying to save him, with sorrow on their faces!
Many mermaid women shed pearls from the corners of their eyes like they were worthless.
Chu Xinghe looked at Chu Tian's frenzied actions without stopping him.
Instead, he smiled with paternal affection, gazing at Chu Tian as if enjoying his final moments of family bliss.
"Son, don't waste your strength... let's talk!" After a long while.
Chu Tian's face was dripping with sweat, and only then did Chu Xinghe slowly speak.
Hearing this address, Chu Tian's actions paused slightly.
"We'll have plenty of time to talk later! There must be a way...
You know yourself best, think of a way...?"
Chu Tian's voice was almost a shout.
He still found it difficult to accept his suddenly appearing father.
Chu Xinghe didn't say much, but Wei Du did.
However, it was all from Xiao Hei.
On the way back from outside Whale Fall City, he learned.
It turned out that apart from himself, everyone else already knew of Chu Xinghe's relationship with him.
There was also Xiao Hei, who had a human name, Chu Mo.
That name was given to him by his grandfather, Chu Batian.
Even the name Chu Tian was given by that grandfather.
He also never expected that he, Chu Tian, was a descendant of the ninth family, which existed outside the original eight great families.
However, the Chu family had always been a single-generation lineage, and they did not consider themselves a family.
He had heard that Chu Batian had once sealed himself within the Luo family's small world, in the clam...
The clam that could produce soul beads!
It was a clam with its own consciousness, capable of alluring people.
Unexpectedly, it was because of that sealing.
Chu Batian learned that it was possible to cross the boundless starry sky.
And reach the Xuan Tian Star, the Sea of Death.
Later, he took his wife and son and all went there.
And his mother, who was now the Lord of the Underworld.
He met his father in that Sea of Death.
Later, when his mother was over eight months pregnant with him.
Chu Batian had his father take his mother through a passage known only to them.
To return to Blue Star, Chu Xinghe did not know the specific reason why.
When Wei Du was speaking, Chu Tian remained silent, continuing to try and save Chu Xinghe.
But his mind also reviewed the events.
He guessed that his grandfather must have possessed heaven-defying abilities and certainly knew something.
...
Seeing that he couldn't dissuade Chu Tian, Chu Xinghe could only shake his head helplessly.
"I already died once back then, and it was the Huangmei couple who saved me using the thirteen Huang family needles.
Even so... I am only half-corpse, half-human.
I no longer enter the cycle of reincarnation, and this death will cause me to scatter directly in this world...
However, I am already content to see you before I die!"
Chu Xinghe could only slowly recount his story.
"Thirteen Huang family needles?" Chu Tian seemed to have not heard anything else.
