The real world, the Northern Territory of the Human Race.
Long Qingyan and Feng Ni stood facing each other, the two strongest beings in the alternate space.
At this moment, they stood in silence, with the air filled with a sense of desolation and change.
A wisp of golden-red light lingered at Feng Ni's fingertips, flowing with memories of Long Qingyan.
Long Qingyan did not resist, allowing that wisp of light to merge into her forehead.
In an instant, a memory rushed into her mind.
It included their first meeting, entering the Demon Abyss, Gu Xing holding off the rear as he left the Demon Abyss...
And as these memories surged into her mind, she seemed to recall something else...
When she was young, it seemed she had been on Dragon Island.
She had encountered a figure without dragon horns or tail, whose peculiar aura inexplicably reassured her...
Long Qingyan's eyes snapped open, her golden pupils contracting sharply!
So that's how it is!
No wonder when she first met Gu Xing, she had an indescribable sense of familiarity and closeness with that human!
It turned out it was not an illusion!
Ten thousand years ago, during a time she herself had forgotten, the two had already met.
"Well, do you still think Gu Xing is dead now?"
Seeing Long Qingyan in a daze, Feng Ni casually turned her head, looking at Liu Li who stood not far away hearing all these secrets.
At this moment, Liu Li's mind was blank.
Her master... had traveled back ten thousand years?
How could this be possible?!
Even though Sally had grasped the laws of time magic, but...
Sally usually found it very difficult to reverse the time of even a single region.
Let alone bringing a person directly back to the past, especially going back ten thousand years.
She raised her head to look at Feng Ni in disbelief.
But this Emperor Beast definitely would not put effort into deceiving them.
After all, the gap in strength between them was simply too vast.
"What? Don't believe what I'm saying?"
Hearing this, Liu Li decisively shook her head.
"Lady Feng Ni is willing to reveal these things to me, Liu Li is already incredibly grateful, how could I not believe Lady Feng Ni."
"However, Liu Li wants to know, when will the master be able to return from that point in time?"
Feng Ni was about to answer that she didn't know either.
But just at that moment...
A familiar aura suddenly appeared in their perception!
Since Gu Xing disappeared from this world, she had guessed that Gu Xing might have gone to the past.
Therefore, her perception had always been enshrouding the previous Dragon Island region.
And at this very moment...
Gu Xing's aura appeared!
Feng Ni's head snapped up, looking towards the direction of Dragon Island.
"Your master... has returned!"
This sentence thundered in Liu Li's ears like a bolt of lightning!
She stood frozen, immense joy overwhelmed her like a tsunami!
When Long Qingyan sensed that aura, her delicate body also trembled violently!
She exchanged a glance with Feng Ni, no words were needed.
In the next moment, the two transformed into two dazzling streaks of light, a phoenix and a dragon, tearing through the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
Liu Li, left on the ground, quickly returned to her senses.
This news must be relayed!
It must be told to other Guardian Beasts and Long Zhenguo.
....
Also at this moment.
Vera suddenly woke from deep meditation!
Her scarlet eyes glowed blood red, the energy surging around her almost lost control due to the intense fluctuation of emotions!
"Contract... reconnected!"
"Master... has returned!"
She clutched her chest, the moment the contract reconnected...
She felt as if her heart regained warmth.
Almost simultaneously, Liu Li appeared in the command room.
"Old Dragon... the master has returned!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this.
The entire command hall plunged into silence! Everyone stood frozen as if struck by a Freezing Spell!
Sitting at the head, Long Zhenguo's towering body trembled sharply.
Even the intelligence report on the Demon Race in his hands silently slipped away.
He slowly lifted his head, his pupils contracting intensely.
The silence lasted for several seconds.
Two streams of turbid hot tears uncontrollably gushed from the eyes of this iron-blooded elder, cascading down his wrinkled cheeks.
He opened his mouth, and after several seconds, summoned all his strength, with a voice choked with emotion, repeatedly murmured:
"Returned..."
"It's good to be back..."
"It's good to be back!!!"
These simple words seemed to drain him of all his strength.
And in the command room.
After the deathly silence, came the eruption of joy and uproar like a volcanic eruption!
"Lord Gu Xing has returned! Heaven bless the Human Race! Heaven bless the Human Race!"
"I knew it! Lord Gu Xing would not fall so easily!"
"Quick! Send someone to receive him immediately!"
The entire command center boiled over!
The long-suppressed gloom was swept away by this sudden joyful news, every face brimmed with excitement and hope!
Long Zhenguo took several deep breaths, forcibly calming his surging emotions.
He fiercely wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, straightening his spine again.
Though his eyes were still moist, those eyes had returned to their usual steadiness, even brighter than before!
"Silence!"
He barked hoarsely, his voice carrying undeniable authority despite its huskiness.
The hall instantly quieted down, everyone watching him with burning eyes.
"Wei Yuan! Lei Zhan!" Long Zhenguo called names.
"Present!"
The two immediately stepped forward, excitedly clasping their fists.
"You two, during this time, must stay on high alert, keeping an eye on any movements from the Demon Race. Before Gu Xing returns, nothing must happen."
"Yes! Commander Long!"
The two took the command, immediately turning and leaving, their steps powerful and swift.
"Tushan Yueli, Liu Li,"
Long Zhenguo finally looked at the two.
"You... come with me to welcome them!"
"Yes!"
The orders were issued quickly, setting the entire machinery of the Human Race operation into efficient motion.
The news of Gu Xing's return swept through the entire Human Race territory with unprecedented speed.
...
Just as the Human Race was engulfed in the ecstasy of restored connection and urgent mobilization.
Above the former site of Dragon Island, now reduced to countless floating massive rocks in the sky.
The air rippled violently like water.
Wave upon wave of ripples expanded outwards, as if something was about to break free from within.
Long Qingyan and Feng Ni, having rushed to the location, hovered high in the sky, eyes fixed on the most intense point of the spatial fluctuations.
Long Qingyan clenched her small fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.
She felt a touch of nervousness.
Feng Ni was relatively calm.
But the anticipation of seeing her former savior made her feel a bit of gratitude.
Finally, under the intense gaze of the two, the center of the spatial ripples shattered like a mirror!
A phantom river composed of countless scattered pieces of time surged forth!
The time river projection!
Although it flickered in and out, its vast, ancient aura made both Long Qingyan and Feng Ni feel a pang of heart palpitation.
And as the river's shadow faded, two figures tumbled out, slowly floating in the air.
