Rumble, rumble...

Masses of seawater cascaded off the city emerging from the depths of the vortex.

Crashing into the whirlpool, producing a massive roar.

The entire city was covered with mottled corals and barnacles, but one could still vaguely discern its former splendor.

The overall artistic style, Lin Yi couldn't find any country on Blue Star resembling it.

It was even completely different from the giant bronze door he had seen in the Bottomless Ghost Abyss.

"Zayina... is a city?" Lin Yi wondered in his heart.

In the Undead Space, Lin Qianqian rolled her eyes.

"What else would it be?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Earlier, listening to your and your sister's whispers,

It felt like a person!

Who would know it's an underwater city?

Who the heck would say such personifying words to a city!

And talk about disgrace and such!

"You seem to have countless ties to this underwater city."

"Then go inside it."

"Seek your [fate]."

The Elder Emperor Haotian seemed to have known of this city's existence for a long time.

Hmm...

Lin Yi pondered for a moment.

He felt that Haotian even used the Power of Reincarnation contained in Zayina's underwater city as the central point of the entire Sea Eye of Returning Ruins.

Only then could the remnant shadow of the Demon God's hand be suppressed.

Now that the remnant shadow of the Demon God's hand has disappeared,

This city is naturally capable of leaving the lightless seabed and seeing the light of day again.

"Hehe, sister, let's go in."

Lin Qianqian emerged from the Undead Space.

Then, Lin You also appeared.

She was being pulled by Lin Qianqian.

She paused, turned to look at Lin Yi.

"You... aren't you coming with me?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "The time within the ruins should have a different flow speed compared to outside."

"I don't want to come out and find the world outside has changed again, like last time."

This instability, Lin Yi wants to avoid.

Lin Yi even felt regret previously.

If he hadn't stayed so long in the Bottomless Ghost Abyss,

Mr. He might not have lost his son in his later years.

Lin You's fingers trembled slightly.

Obviously a bit anxious.

"Let's go, sister!"

Lin Qianqian urged.

Lin You finally broke free from her grip and shook her head: "I'm not going."

Clearly, she is somewhat worried about Lin Yi.

Previously, when Lin Yi was battling the remnant shadow of the Demon God's hand.

It was because Lin Qianqian was holding her in the Undead Space.

She couldn't appear in time to help Lin Yi block that attack.

For this, although normally good-tempered, she even had a big argument with Lin Qianqian.

"Go on."

"During your time in the ruins, he will be fine."

"Just don't cling to the past after retrieving your inheritance, and return to reality early."

The Elder Emperor looked at Lin You with deep meaning.

Lin You was stunned.

Then she slightly bowed to Haotian: "Thank you."

Then she took Lin Qianqian's hand.

She glanced back at Lin Yi, and then flew into the city without looking back.

Whew...

Lin Yi sensed a boundary between him and Lin You that couldn't be expressed in words.

This boundary didn't originate from space.

It felt more like it was coming from time.

Lin Yi sneaked a glance at the Elder Emperor Haotian.

Always feeling like Lin You might have interacted with him.

The previous conversation was too natural.

"Ancestor, can you tell me when she will come out?"

The Elder Emperor chuckled lightly: "In normal circumstances, she would need to spend three months inside to come out."

"But because of you, these three months are halved."

"By the way, let me remind you, the day she returns will be the time for you to seek the Dragon Root, more or less."

"I'm old and have blurred vision, sometimes it's hard to see these fates clearly."

Lin Yi: "..."

Your skill of knowing fates at a glance is something even Cheng Xiao might bow down to.

And yet you claim to have blurred vision...

[Global Announcement!]

[Practitioner Lin Yi...]

A global announcement echoed in Lin Yi's ear.

The next moment, Lin Yi saw a stone tower in the sky, spanning billions of years of time and space, crashing toward Zayina City below.

It was the very Inverted Sky Tower he had seen a day ago from the airship!

Immediately, Lin Yi's hair stood on end!

Damn it!

What you fear comes true!

This time, I really didn't do anything!

Why does it look like this tower is going to collapse again?!

The Dungeon Destroyer curse is still haunting me!!

"Ancestor, save me!!"

What else can I do!

Beg for help!

Fortunately, the big shot is right beside me.

He doesn't want his peculiar constitution to let the entire Inverted Sky Tower cease to exist.

This would make Mr. Wang and those who dedicated their lives suddenly find all their efforts meaningless.

At the critical moment.

Lin Yi only saw the Elder Emperor raise one hand.

The next second, the Sky Tower that came through time and space and was about to fall on the Sea Eye of Returning Ruins was upheld by his miraculous methods.

However, Lin Yi clearly noticed a strange look in the Elder Emperor's eyes towards him.

"Alright, you can go back now."

"I have lifted the tower entry restriction for all who have seen the remnant shadow of the Demon God's hand."

"In the future, you may return at any time."

"Your divine inscription, though sharp-tongued, is inherently good, exceedingly faithful, and righteous, treat it well."

Lin Yi nodded, and bowed deeply to the Elder Emperor.

Then flew into the sky and entered the Inverted Sky Tower.

After a moment of vertigo.

When Lin Yi opened his eyes again.

He had already returned to the 100th floor of the tower.

Whew...

Lin Yi exhaled deeply.

This journey to clear the level.

The aftereffects were quite profound.

He traversed through the vast passage of time, witnessed the evolution of Blue Star,

and saw the flourishing era of the ancient human race.

Witnessed the rise and fall of the Heavenly Gate.

Everything felt like a dream.

Now he returned to his own era.

Lin Yi felt—

The burden on his shoulders, unknowingly, had grown heavier.

The road beneath his feet, unknowingly, had become longer.

Thud!

Dozens of guardians appeared in front of Lin Yi.

It seemed they had wholly transformed from the slaves of the Sea Eye of Returning Ruins.

Into Lin Yi's servants.

They knelt without a word upon seeing Lin Yi.

Soon after, Lin Yi saw that they were holding trays, on which piled like small mountains, were soul cores glowing with various colors!

Every guardian's hands were cupping these soul cores.

The total number of soul cores might be approaching the ten thousand mark!

Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

Where did so many soul cores come from??

Besides, are these soul cores being given to me for free?

Soul cores have two uses.

One is to find a guardian, or someone like the Haotian Ancestor,

to teach you the divine inscription.

That is, the Martial Soul.

So far, Lin Yi has found that most people only possess one Martial Soul.

The reason for this, Lin Yi still doesn't know.

The second use is, naturally, to crush the soul core, draw out the soul power within, to impart to one's already fused Martial Soul.

This is only effective for certain growth-type Martial Souls.

For Martial Souls whose soul skills and soul artifacts are already fixed post-fusion, it's ineffective.

These tens of thousands of soul cores, Lin Yi estimated, could at least unseal the Great Saint from under the Five Finger Mountain, right?!
