"Let me go, let me go!!"

The Kshatriya was controlled by an inexplicable force, slowly ascending to the sky. He screamed in terror, but no one responded anymore.

Aside from the ordinary people, all the powerful entities from the Buddha Country were dead, leaving only the Kshatriya.

Boom!

The Kshatriya's left arm suddenly exploded, turning into a mist of blood, and he screamed in pain, grimacing and howling in agony.

"Ah ah ah, spare me, I beg you to spare me!" Blood continued to spurt from his left arm, and the Kshatriya's face turned pale as he began to plead for mercy.

Boom!

The right arm also exploded, and blood gushed out from both arms simultaneously, a horrific scene that made the ordinary people avert their eyes, fearing they would be the next ones tormented by Chen Lan.

"Please, just kill me, give me a quick death," the Kshatriya wailed desperately, giving up on begging for mercy, pleading for death instead.

Now he felt worse than dead and would rather die than endure Chen Lan's torture; it was too painful.

"Did you think of this when you killed that woman and child?" Chen Lan spoke coldly. He did not intend to kill; he was merely there to retrieve something.

But he hadn't expected these people, driven by greed, to cruelly murder two innocent Huaxia individuals who died because of him. Those responsible had to pay as well.

Chen Lan's eyes narrowed, and the Kshatriya immediately emitted even more heartrending screams. His body, like a can being crushed, slowly compressed as bones shattered and organs were squashed.

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion occurred, and the strongest figure of the Buddha Country, the Kshatriya, instantly died, his soul obliterated.

Watching the blood mist bloom in the sky like fireworks, Chen Lan's face remained expressionless.

He had killed many, and his disposition had long since changed, but those he killed were all deserving.

He cast a faint glance around at the ordinary people who all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Chen Lan's gaze, their bodies trembling.

Chen Lan walked back to the mother and child's corpses. With a wave of his hand, time began to flow backward, restoring them to their optimal state of life.

"Ah!!!" The woman jerked upright, panting fearfully, as if she had returned from the brink of death.

The next moment, as if realizing something, she quickly looked to the side, "My child!"

Seeing the child perfectly fine, not even suffering from a fever, and now lively, she ecstatically crawled over to embrace the child, weeping with joy.

As if realizing something, she quickly glanced aside and saw Chen Lan, instantly releasing the child, dropping to her knees and crawling over to kowtow, "Thank you, thank you for saving me and my child!"

For all of this, she could think of no one else aside from the man before her who could achieve it. There was no one else!

"You're welcome," Chen Lan responded blandly, with a wave of his hand.

The woman and child both disappeared, as he had sent them to the entrance of the Maintenance Department in Qin City, where someone would naturally escort them home.

Soon after, he vanished as well.

...

Somewhere in the Buddha Country, within a house.

Chen Lan appeared out of nowhere, startling the surrounding residents.

Snap.

A sharp snap of his fingers caused time to freeze around him; all residents were frozen in their poses and expressions.

Chen Lan walked slowly into the house, and with a thought, the entrance on the floor of the house opened, revealing an underground passage into view, and he proceeded downwards.

What met his eyes was a pile of gold, silver, jewels, and countless Magical Artifacts, Talismans, and Elixirs.

"It's actually Body Refining Pills and Spiritual Qi Pills, and such a large amount, at least over two hundred bottles. However, that Brahma Heaven seemingly had no clue about the elixirs' utility, not having touched a single one," Chen Lan murmured.

His Divine Sense scanned all the items, and a hint of disappointment arose as he didn't find the Dao Rhyme Items he sought.

That Brahma Heaven had good judgment, as amidst all those Magical Artifacts, he had specially chosen the Daoist Instrument carrying the reincarnation path.

Failing to obtain what he desired, Chen Lan casually collected all the items and left the place.

As he departed, time resumed its normal flow, and no one noticed anything unusual but for the opened door of the house.

...

At a certain ruin in the Buddha Country.

The area was desolate, consisting only of forest, with a small hole under an ancient tree that allowed only one person to descend.

Below the hole was an open space.

Chen Lan appeared there from thin air, immediately scrutinizing his surroundings.

"It's all been emptied by Brahma Heaven; this must be a cave dwelling without an array, or perhaps a treasure vault of a sect," Chen Lan speculated.

But soon, his Divine Sense detected something unusual.

"Hmm? There's a hidden chamber?" Chen Lan looked towards one of the walls.

Boom!

With a single thought, the wall exploded into fragments, revealing what lay behind it.

Inside, it was empty, with only one pillar on which rested a dust-covered book.

With a simple grab, the book flew into Chen Lan's hand, and, blowing gently, he dispersed the dust on its surface.

No words, nothing at all.

Chen Lan paused in bewilderment, flipping it open to take a look.

Upon seeing the first line, he furrowed his brows.

[Cold Light Palace has stood for over five thousand years, yet due to the world's reincarnation, it is on the brink of vanishing, truly unpredictable is fate.]

[I am the Sect Leader of Cold Light Palace. If you see this will, please exhumate me, and great rewards will be yours!]

Exhume?!

This Sect Leader wasn't dead but instead buried himself alive?

Chen Lan continued reading.

[I will bury myself in the depths of the Land of Extreme Cold, freezing my body, entering a slumber for millennia. If the world reincarnates and the people of the New World discover me, they can exhume me, and I shall fulfill all requests they have.]

[All things here you may take, I only ask that you help awaken me.]

Just these few sentences caused Chen Lan's brows to knit tightly.

There was still a Sect Leader who survived for a few thousand years, probably more, a figure quite possibly still alive, just dormant.

As for the Land of Extreme Cold, could it be the Arctic or Antarctica?

Yet with the world's reincarnation having passed, perhaps the Land of Extreme Cold at the time is no longer so, given that time alters the world.

But why didn't the Sect Leader simply bury himself right here?

By the time someone read this will, they could have exhumed him; instead, he chose some Land of Extreme Cold, like seeking a needle in a haystack.

And this Cold Light Palace...

Later, I'll ask the Heaven-Howling Dog or Tao Tian Demon Venerable if they know something.

Now he's discovered that Blue Star faces an invasion from multiple worlds, while the old world is gradually waking. Blue Star is bound to become the target of all the alien worlds, as those outsiders aim to claim this planet.

The people of the old world might be the best allies.

His goal is to gather all those awakened from the old world, bringing them under his command, to become his strongest support.

As for those from the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm, they are untrustworthy, having Soul Restrictions within. Even if he imprints a Soul Brand onto them, they might self-destruct eventually.

After all, as a latecomer, he couldn't outmatch the prior Soul Restrictions, unless his path of soul reached great success.

"Land of Extreme Cold... let nature take its course," he mused.
