Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves

Chapter 204: Begging the Immortal to Save the Great Tang! (Part 2)


This is his study, how could there possibly be wind here?

In that instant, they were astonished to find that there was an additional person in the study!

A person wearing strange clothes, looking young, with a natural demeanor!

Standing there on the desk, examining the documents on top.

It was Shen Yu.

That's right, this time, Shen Yu came personally.

Originally, it was another person, but Shen Yu felt that this kind of encounter required someone with extraordinary power that left not the slightest trace, far surpassing the existence of this world, and that would be most suitable.

He hadn't forgotten about that hint of extraordinary power with extremely high quality behind the forces of this world.

That power could even compare to the mana of a True Immortal!

Who knows what unexpected events might occur in this world, like some unforeseen existence.

To be safer, Shen Yu taking action seemed more prudent.

Moreover, Shen Yu actually had some desire to meet this renowned Emperor in the history of the Magicless World.

However, the sudden appearance frightened Li Shimin greatly, and he wanted to shout, but then his peripheral vision noticed that the maid who came along with Empress Changsun stood there with her head down as if she hadn't seen anything.

Even his startled movements went unnoticed.

This was obviously problematic!

Besides, although Li Shimin's power wasn't top-notch, he was still a Martial Arts expert.

Yet, he hadn't detected how the person before him arrived, and even now, while the person stood there, he couldn't sense any aura.

This is in the deep palace!

All these manifestations forced Li Shimin to suppress his instincts in that instant, protectively placing Empress Changsun behind him, and bowing to say, "Young Emperor Li Shimin, greets the Immortal."

The gesture was held very low.

So low that even Shen Yu was somewhat surprised.

"So simple, confirming my identity?"

"Aside from an Immortal, no one else could appear before the Young Emperor so casually," Li Shimin said directly, letting out a slight breath of relief.

As long as it's a being willing to communicate, that's much better than one who won't communicate at all.

"Well, that might not necessarily be true." Shen Yu shook his head slightly but still said, "However, you guessed correctly this time, compared to you all, I indeed live up to the title of an Immortal."

Li Shimin's eyes displayed curiosity.

He then asked, "May I inquire if the Immortal is from White Jade City?"

When he saw Shen Yu, he had already guessed this in his heart.

And now, this guess reached its peak!

Shen Yu casually said, "White Jade City, this name was simply chosen by some people below, to better fit your customs, it's not worth mentioning."

Hiss—

Li Shimin inhaled a bit, his heart churning slightly.

That was an acknowledgment.

Moreover, hearing this, it sounded like he wasn't just a simple figure in White Jade City!

"So it truly is a Great Immortal descending into the world, I wonder what insights the Great Immortal has to convey to the Young Emperor?" He bowed again, his posture held low enough.

"Indeed, there is something." Shen Yu picked up the petition in front of him and said calmly, "Simply put, this world is facing a great calamity that will cause the annihilation of all living beings, we are here to dissipate the disaster."

All living beings, annihilation!

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He had actually sensed some of this through his investigations, but naturally, he wouldn't understand it as clearly as the person in front of him.

That's why he ordered to summon someone from White Jade City.

And now, he not only met them, but it wasn't even an ordinary person from White Jade City!

Then it was necessary to ask clearly!

"I hope the Great Immortal will enlighten us, where does the calamity originate?" Li Shimin asked bowing again.

However, he received an unexpected answer.

"I don't know," Shen Yu said.

Li Shimin's expression stiffened instantly; even under such circumstances, he couldn't control his stunned expression.

How could it be unknown?

Isn't he an Immortal?

"Indeed, I don't know. Rather, I'm investigating this matter," Shen Yu seemingly understood Li Shimin's thoughts and just shook his head, sighing, "Because it's not just your world facing such a crisis. So far, we have discovered many worlds with similar calamities."

Li Shimin was bewildered.

For people of this era, the world itself is completely unknown.

Not to mention beyond the world.

However, Shen Yu was prepared.

"Follow me and you'll see," he raised his hand to roll, directly drawing the two into a portal of Gray Mist.

They arrived at a severely damaged world.

Suspended directly in the air.

Below was an ancient city completely destroyed by giant beasts!

Even the corpses of giant beasts still lay within the city!

"In this world, the calamity manifested as these giant beasts," Shen Yu said calmly.

Li Shimin was somewhat at a loss looking at everything around him.

Next moment, their forms changed again.

Before them was still a destroyed city, with hideous monsters still roaming the ruins.

"These monsters aren't born but transformed from humans, it's a toxin, a special toxin."

The environment changed again.

Countless worm-like steel creatures were constantly tunneling underground.

And then it changed again.

A magnificent modern city appeared, also subject to massive destruction!

Shen Yu didn't just keep Li Shimin and Empress Changsun suspended above, in some cities he deliberately placed them into the world, allowing them to interact closely, even communicating with the civilians of those worlds.

When they returned to Great Tang, a full two hours had passed.

Yet Li Shimin was still dazed.

Empress Changsun was similarly affected.

The images they had just seen, especially those of cities far more grand, prosperous, and stronger than Chang'an, had all turned to ruins.

Every scene, even every detail, showcased the terror of an apocalypse.

If they hadn't seen some cities rebuilt later, some fields reopened after enemies and monsters were driven away, they might have been consumed by boundless despair!

Even the powerful world was destroyed like that, how much more vulnerable is his Great Tang?

Realizing the small gift still tightly held in his hand given by a little girl, Li Shimin came back to his senses and bowing deeply to Shen Yu!

"Great Immortal, please save Great Tang!"

Before, even realizing Shen Yu was far stronger, Li Shimin maintained the dignity of the Emperor.

Just bowing but not kneeling.

But in this moment, he understood how insignificant a mere Emperor of Great Tang was!

Those worlds, all trapped in despair, can only rely on the intervention of the person in front.

How much more is this true for him?

In the eyes of the person before him, an emperor of a country means nothing!

Only the world, only the apocalypse, leaves marks.

Shen Yu didn't help the kneeling duo up, he just said calmly, "Since we've come, naturally, we're here to save you. This catastrophe affecting countless worlds came too suddenly, and we don't know what other calamities might be involved. All we can do is save as many as possible, concentrate as much power as possible, even though you're so weak, accumulation leads to the way to withstand calamities."

"Yes! The Young Emperor will surely keep it in mind, dare not forget!" Li Shimin said excitedly.

This wasn't mere rhetoric, but his most sincere feeling after witnessing everything earlier!

Because he knew, the Immortal before him was indeed doing this.

With many others following this Immortal, going from world to world, saving all the people in those worlds.

And now, they've come to Great Tang!
