"Mother, did Bobo use some trick again?"
Mo Yu watched Yu Zhibo transform into a bloody mist, her eyes filled with curiosity. With the previous lesson, she wasn't anxious at all this time.
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's expression was grim, and she remained silent.
Yu Zhibo was her most favored candidate for a son-in-law. He was not only noble in character but also adaptable and possessed astonishing talent, with an immeasurable future.
Most importantly, her daughter also liked him very much.
And yet, such a person was gone just like that?
It was infuriating that she had only just regained consciousness and lacked her true form. Her power had been exhausted fighting Zhu Yan, otherwise, she would have been able to save Yu Zhibo from Que Ru.
Yu Zhibo was truly dead!
This was what she believed.
Because the golden phantom of the Two-Tailed Celestial Fox, representing Yu Zhibo's inner pure land, at the center of the pure land space had begun to gradually fade, and the entire space was also quietly disconnecting from Yu Zhibo.
Outside, Zhu Yan let out a silent roar. As its body slowly turned into dust and dissipated, its eyes revealed a look of release.
Everything seemed to herald Yu Zhibo's death.
Through the light screen of the space, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox could see that after Que Ru's death, he had used some secret technique to connect his soul with his physical body, then mobilized the power of his entire bloodline origin, forcibly merging his soul, which had already left his body, into the remaining corpse. He then poured all his strength into launching a final, desperate blow.
This showed how deeply he hated Yu Zhibo's kite-like tactics.
After unleashing this attack, Que Ru's soul power was exhausted, his soul dissipated on the spot, and his bloodline origin power vanished completely. His body, which had been smashed into a pulp, also began to burn with black flames, eventually turning to ash.
There was no need for her to avenge Yu Zhibo; Que Ru had cremated himself, his soul scattered, and his karma severed.
Even though the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was a great demon cultivator who had experienced many trials and tribulations, upon witnessing this scene, a hint of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes. Looking at her daughter in her arms, she didn't know how to explain.
The Celestial Fox lineage valued emotions the most. She could see that although her daughter had not yet experienced love, her reliance on Yu Zhibo had reached a wholehearted level. If she knew that Yu Zhibo was dead, she might follow him in death.
Just as the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's heart was in turmoil, and she was preparing to regain control of the World Heart fragment and take her daughter to find her husband.
She suddenly discovered that the almost transparent phantom of the Two-Tailed Celestial Fox at the center of the pure land space had begun to solidify again. The light shields had also regained their brilliant golden color, and Yu Zhibo's consciousness was rapidly reconnecting with the World Heart fragment.
Outside, Zhu Yan's body also stopped dissipating. Instead, countless white paper-like dust floated and adhered to its body, rapidly restoring its flesh.
Zhu Yan was instantly stunned.
"Born from death? Or time reversal?"
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's face showed surprise, and her eyes held deep shock.
Outside the light screen, the exploded bloody mist that had formed Yu Zhibo's body suddenly vanished into thin air.
————
This was Yu Zhibo's first death.
After death, Izanagi automatically activated, pulling his consciousness into a void of darkness.
Subsequently, light appeared in the darkness, and countless light screens emerged, displaying various scenes.
These scenes numbered in the tens of thousands, as if cameras had captured every frame of his actions in the last five minutes, printed them out, and arranged them around him.
Yu Zhibo stood amidst a light screen, his body surrounded by various scenes. He could feel that by throwing himself into any one of them, he could immediately switch his current state with the self in that scene, thereby changing the outcome of his death.
"Is this Izanagi?"
Yu Zhibo murmured, and with a thought, he completely ignored all the scenes after he had turned into a bloody mist. He randomly selected a scene where he was questioning Wang Dali and was about to switch with it.
Just then, from the sky above the endless darkness, two pairs of eyes suddenly appeared, like four stars, hanging in the boundless darkness.
One pair of eyes was wine-red, with pupils like two blood moons.
The other pair had pupils where the left eye was the moon and the right eye was the sun, with laws interwoven within. Yu Zhibo felt an immense power descend with just a glance, making his consciousness like a small boat in a stormy sea, liable to be annihilated at any moment.
Yu Zhibo was greatly alarmed, not expecting such a risk in the dark space after using Izanagi. He was about to throw himself into a scene to change the outcome of his death.
But in the next moment, everything returned to peace. Whether it was an illusion or not, Yu Zhibo seemed to see a hint of a smile in those two pairs of eyes, and then everything became hazy.
Yu Zhibo became hesitant. He could not sense any malice from these two pairs of eyes.
Then, a broken voice began to appear in his mind intermittently.
"Dao is incomprehensible, the end of the road is despair..."
"My dear wife, I have burdened you..."
"Yin Yang reversal... time reconstruction..."
"Abandon Dao! Abandon Dao!"
"My homeland has an anime, a branch of Dao, but at the end of its portrayal of Dao, it has become unlike Dao. Many viewers can have their destiny stripped away, and using it as a foundation, reforge the immortal path!"
"Hei Si, you have followed me for many years, be my system!"
"In this life, I will surely return to my peak!"
"My wife, are you willing to go with me?"
"I am willing!"
Voices, like the profound sounds of the Great Dao, boomed into Yu Zhibo's mind. In a daze, Yu Zhibo could see two giant phantoms, one male and one female, suppressing the star domain above the river of stars, but their faces were blurred, and their true appearances could not be seen.
Yu Zhibo was greatly shocked, and at the same time, he felt a faint sense of familiarity towards those two figures.
At this moment, a great sense of crisis struck. The time for choosing a state for Izanagi was about to pass. If he did not quickly enter one of the scenes, his death would be directly confirmed.
Yu Zhibo, unable to think further, directly plunged into the scene he had chosen earlier...
At the edge of the deep pit, after the bloody mist disappeared, a tall figure emerged from the void, causing Wang Dali beside him to look astonished.
"Little Yu, your eyes?"
"It's nothing!" Yu Zhibo stood beside Wang Dali. At this moment, his left eye was still a normal Mangekyo Sharingan, but his right eye had turned into a dull, lifeless pale white. Except for the black edge of the pupil, the iris was blurred, and he had lost his vision.
Looking at Que Ru, who had turned to ash in the deep pit below his palm, Yu Zhibo's heart was complex. He was filled with questions about the information conveyed by the two figures who had appeared not long ago.
But soon, he felt that the memories related to it were rapidly fading, as if he were escaping something, and eventually, he completely forgot them.
However, as these memories dissipated, they inexplicably planted a certain instinct within him. He did not know what these instincts were, but when he encountered them, he would try to avoid certain things.
Yu Zhibo wore a bewildered expression. He looked at the remnants of Que Ru in the deep pit below his palm and found that Que Ru's remains had turned to ash, and his soul had dissipated on the spot. This meant that Edo Tensei could not be used on him.
"What a pity!"
Yu Zhibo showed a look of regret, and at the same time, he felt a trace of lingering fear.
Que Ru's contingency plan had exceeded his expectations. He would likely encounter more enemies with such contingency plans in the future. With just one mistake, the outcome would be death and the destruction of his Dao.
Since stepping into the extraordinary, he had been smooth sailing all the way. This had made him lose his vigilance, completely lacking the caution he had when he first awakened and casually placed a substitute mark.
"I must be more cunning in the future!"
Yu Zhibo silently warned himself, closed his right eye, and felt a faint sense of fatigue.
"This matter is settled, but there are still many A-class individuals wreaking havoc at the Industrial University. Little Yu, would you like to accompany me?"
Wang Dali breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yu Zhibo was unharmed. He then looked to the other side, where the battle between Jin Da Shu and Hao Zhi was nearing its end. Hao Zhi was about to be beaten to death, so he decided to stop going to help.
There were also differences among the ancient fierce beasts. It was clear that Hao Zhi was at the bottom tier among the ancient fierce beasts.
Facing Wang Dali's request, Yu Zhibo shook his head slightly and said, "No need, but I can send my clones to help."
As he spoke, with a thought, four clones appeared indistinctly beside him. Each clone carried a short sword engraved with the Flying Thunder God's mark, like a bee's stinger.
These clones, because the main body had used Izanagi, were all one-eyed. They looked quite strange.
"Good! I will report your contributions to the headquarters. Thank you for your hard work!"
Wang Dali patted Yu Zhibo's shoulder and then flew towards the destination with the four clones.
