Chapter 446 Ye Huli's Wish
As Ye Nanxiao's figure was about to be swallowed up by the portal, the two women's moods began to sink.
Na'er bit her lip, her face full of reluctance, her eyes brimming with tears, trying her best not to cry out loud.
Although Gu Yuena's face was expressionless, the sorrow in her eyes betrayed her current mood.
Imprinting Gu Yuena and Na'er's images deep in his memory, Ye Nanxiao took a deep breath and took his second step toward the Gate of Time and Space.
The portal, shimmering with a faint dark gray light, leads to what appears to be an endless fog. What lies within—danger or the path home—is anyone's guess.
Just as he was about to fully enter the portal of time and space, Ye Nanxiao suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Yuena.
"Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Gu Yuena asked calmly, as if a blank expression was the best look for her at this moment.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Gu Yuena and smiled, "Boss, I've worked for you for so long, if I don't want my salary, can you grant me a wish?"
"A wish?" Gu Yuena asked. "Tell me."
Ye Nanxiao smiled and said, "In my hometown, people love dragons and regard them as a religion. If possible, boss, could you take me with you and fly into the sky?"
"If my hometown people knew I was riding on the back of a silver dragon, they would definitely be so envious!"
Before Gu Yuena could answer, Ye Nanxiao waved his hand, turned around, and entered the portal.
Having withstood Ye Nanxiao's time-space gate, it immediately closed in the next moment, leaving Gu Yuena and Na'er standing there, staring blankly at the original location of the time-space gate.
"If you want me to take you flying, then you'll have to find me again, strategist," Gu Yuena said to herself as she slowly closed her eyes.
"Or perhaps, we should find him first," Na'er said, clenching her little fist.
The cave gradually quieted down.
The tranquil cave made Gu Yuena feel somewhat uncomfortable.
It's like a house that's always noisy and lively suddenly becoming incredibly quiet without a husky.
Na'er walked over carrying the "Book of Answers" left by Ye Nanxiao, and reached out to tug at Gu Yuena's sleeve. "Sister, this is what the strategist left behind."
Gu Yuena turned her head, took the "Book of Answers," examined it carefully for a while, opened the first page, and muttered to herself, "What is this thing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, lines of text began to appear on the blank pages: "A book is just a book, nothing more. Boss, why don't you ask some other questions?"
Looking at the answers that automatically appeared on the page, Gu Yuena blinked. It seemed that this book could keep her from being bored for a while.
The core circle of the star system.
Di Tian sensed the barrier rising from the Lake of Life immediately, but since it was Gu Yuena who set up the barrier, he did not choose to intervene immediately.
He understood that his lord would not do anything meaningless.
The demon spirit looked at Di Tian thoughtfully, observing the latter's reactions.
After a moment of silence, Di Tian slowly said, "Strategist."
At first, the demon spirit did not realize that Di Tian was calling her. Di Tian usually did not call the demon spirit "strategist" directly, but would call her by her name.
It wasn't until Di Tian turned to look at her that Yao Ling realized the words "strategist" were being addressed to her.
"What's up, boss?" the demon spirit asked.
"It seems you're not used to this name yet, but you'll get used to it in time. Send word to the West that I will personally take action. In three days, have the Crimson King prepare." The Emperor issued the order.
The demon was somewhat taken aback, but still nodded, turned around, and disappeared into the shadows.
Di Tian slowly raised his head, looking in the direction of the Lake of Life, and said in a voice only he could hear, "So you've finally left? I hope you won't come back."
At the edge of the core circle, the demon spirit, having delivered its orders, emerged from the shadows, leaped onto a giant tree, and gazed at the sky.
Holding the message book made by Ye Nanxiao in his hand, the open page contained only four large characters: "See you in the martial world."
"Strategist, will we meet again?" the demon spirit murmured to itself, standing atop the giant tree for a long time.
"I definitely will. If Xingdou can't wait for you, I'll come find you!"
Ye Nanxiao now understood just how dangerous it had been when Gu Yuena locked onto the time cloud for him.
The time cloud, exuding the heavy aura of bygone years, exerted pressure on Ye Nanxiao with each projection, making it difficult for him to move forward.
It felt like a massive boulder was pressing down on the chest of an ordinary person, leaving them half-dead.
The ice flower petals on her right hand glowed faintly, but gave the impression that they might go out at any moment.
Ye Nanxiao attempted to mobilize the power of space to counteract the pressure brought by the time cloud.
The silver spatial power penetrated the space and gathered around Ye Nanxiao like water droplets.
The water droplets condensed into several rectangles, which floated around Ye Nanxiao.
After wielding the power of space, the pressure on Ye Nanxiao lessened slightly.
Following the vague guidance from the Frozen Flower, Ye Nanxiao quickly passed through clusters of time clouds.
"Buzz!"
A deep, resonant bell rang throughout the space.
Ye Nanxiao glanced back at the endless river of time and realized that he must have encountered the guardian of the river of time that Gu Yuena had mentioned before.
He immediately gritted his teeth and used the power of space to increase his speed.
He knew very well that even Gu Yuena couldn't confront that thing head-on, and in his current state, it was even less likely.
"Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~"
Three rapid chimes rang out in succession, and a colossal figure instantly burst forth from the river of time, catching up with Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao's expression was solemn as he looked at the large clock in front of him, which exuded a terrifying aura.
The two eye-like patterns on the bell face Ye Nanxiao and emit a faint bronze light.
Seeing that he was no match for the great bell, Ye Nanxiao clasped his hands in a salute and said loudly, "Guardian, I have no intention of disturbing the River of Time. It's just that I accidentally fell out of my own time cloud, and this time I am crossing the River of Time to return to my original time cloud."
The bronze bell seemed to understand Ye Nanxiao's words, and the bronze light that had gathered on the bell's eyes quickly dissipated.
Ye Nanxiao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
The bronze bell approached Ye Nanxiao, circling around him and scrutinizing him. A wisp of bronze light flew out from the bronze bell and landed on Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao did not resist, nor did he have the ability to resist. The guardian of the River of Time was an incredibly powerful being.
The bronze light quickly traveled across Ye Nanxiao's entire body before flying back to the ancient bronze bell.
The bronze bell emitted soft chimes, the sound gradually decreasing in pitch, vaguely resembling a person speaking.
But to Ye Nanxiao, the bronze bell's actions were simply creating noise.
Like a broken phonograph, it emitted an unbearable noise.
Ye Nanxiao endured it with all his might. Although he didn't know what the bronze bell was doing, at present, the bronze bell no longer regarded him as an enemy that was disrupting the river of time.
After a while of chattering noise, a very gritty voice rang in Ye Nanxiao's ear.
"You say you're not an intruder, but someone who wants to reclaim your home?"
Ye Nanxiao, who had been spacing out because he couldn't stand the noise, suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked at the bronze bell.
What's with this mesmerizing, gritty sound?
Is it the sound coming from this big clock in front of us?
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao didn't react and was only staring at him, the bronze bell spoke again, "Answer quickly!"
"Oh, right, I want to find the Time Cloud that belongs to my home," Ye Nanxiao replied.
"I sense two different auras of time within you, so it seems you weren't lying. But there's a question: are you human? Or a god? Or a beastman?"
The bronze bell quickly asked, sensing not only the aura of time but also various other auras of power on Ye Nanxiao.
"Guardian of Time, I have inherited the trials of the gods. If I pass them, I will become a god, and I will no longer be a beastman." Ye Nanxiao showed the frozen flower on the back of his hand, which had already dimmed.
"Gods, ugh! Those despicable fellows! But it seems you're not one of them."
Suddenly, the bronze bell was coated with a red glow, which then disappeared in the next moment.
Ye Nanxiao was somewhat puzzled by the bronze bell's words; it seemed that the bronze bell disliked deities.
"Those guys? Are they gods too?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
The bronze bell, like a chatterbox, exclaimed, "Those guys are so annoying! They always take advantage of their divine status, using missions as an excuse to demand access to the River of Time, ignoring the serious consequences of disrupting it! They always leave behind a mess!"
"I'm always too busy cleaning up their messes!"
"Those damned Celestial Hunters!"
The bronze bell incessantly spews out the so-called divine hunters.
Forced to act as a listener, Ye Nanxiao could only nod blankly, agreeing with the bronze bell's point of view, even though he didn't understand it.
After the bronze bell had been spewing for a while, it finally remembered Ye Nanxiao.
"Considering you accidentally fell into a time cloud that doesn't belong to your own time, I'll let you off this time! Remember this: the order of the river of time cannot be disrupted in the slightest!"
"If chaos ensues, the entire world will be in danger! I can't possibly clean up every mess!"
"If you go back, tell that newly crowned God-King doll that if he disrupts the River of Time again, I will devour him!"
After the bronze bell finished its curse, it emitted a long, drawn-out chime.
Like a signal to return home, Ye Nanxiao was drawn by a layer of bronze light and flew quickly in the direction indicated by the frozen flower.
"I am extremely grateful!" Ye Nanxiao did not forget to thank the bronze bell.
The bronze bell bobbed up and down twice, responding to Ye Nanxiao.
Guided by the long chimes, Ye Nanxiao's speed was almost like riding a rocket, and countless clouds flew away from him in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, Ye Nanxiao was brought by Zhong Ming to a huge cloud of time.
The sound of the bell faded away, leaving Ye Nanxiao floating in place.
Looking at the time cloud in front of him, Ye Nanxiao knew that he had arrived at his "home".
Taking a deep breath, Ye Nanxiao flew into the cloud of time.
A flash of white light appeared before Ye Nanxiao's eyes, and then he saw countless white clouds and a vast expanse of heaven and earth.
The world that reappeared seemed so wonderful in Ye Nanxiao's eyes.
"You're back."
Ye Nanxiao transformed into a shimmering stream of light, projecting it onto the land below.
Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life, Underground Cave.
When Ye Nanxiao opened his eyes again, he still saw the underground cave.
The familiar crystal ceiling made Ye Nanxiao wonder if he was dreaming.
The next moment, a figure floated in front of Ye Nanxiao, letting Ye Nanxiao know that his "dream" that had lasted for hundreds of years had ended.
"Xiao'er!"
Xue Di nestled into Ye Nanxiao's arms like a fledgling swallow, tightly hugging his neck and wrapping her legs around his waist, transforming into a large koala.
Ye Nanxiao was taken aback at first, then his expression relaxed. He hugged Xue Di and whispered, "I'm back."
