Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Capítulo 1278: Chapter 1278: River God Above (24)

Compared to the exquisite Immortal Realm, the people standing on the Immortal Execution Platform were all heavy-hearted and solemn, as if they were about to face a life-and-death decision.

They stood outside, and no one spoke.

In the distance, a crane cried loudly.

Finally, someone broke the silence, asking hoarsely, “Is there any news from the Divine Realm?”

Someone in the crowd answered, “Not yet.”

The crowd fell silent again, with the occasional crane’s call becoming the only sound in this world.

“It’s here!! A message from the Divine Realm!!” someone ran up from behind, “The Tongtian Temple has been successfully sent to the Lower Realm.”

Among the people in front of the Immortal Execution Platform, some sighed in relief, some became more solemn, and some showed a bit of fear and trepidation.

The image faded, returning to the true desolate appearance of the Immortal Execution Platform.

This scene should have been from the time when the realms’ passages were about to close, and the Tongtian Temple was sent to the Lower Realm, except…

How could the Immortal Execution Platform of the Immortal Realm have become like this?

While Chuzheng was puzzled, the scene shifted, still the Immortal Execution Platform.

Those people were surrounding the Immortal Execution Platform, infusing power into it.

The image began to shake… no… it wasn’t the image that was shaking; the entire Immortal Realm was shaking.

The ground cracked and spread like a spider’s web into the distance.

Buildings in the distance collapsed, cranes fell from the sky, and the entire world was disintegrating.

The people around the Immortal Execution Platform seemed to have exhausted their power, and some fell to the ground, being swept into the Immortal Execution Platform’s power. Those nearby tried to pull him back but failed.

They could only watch as the person disappeared into the Immortal Execution Platform.

One… two…

More and more people, unable to hold on, were swept into the Immortal Execution Platform and disappeared.

The expressions on everyone’s faces were more solemn than ever before.

When only one person was left on the Immortal Execution Platform, he looked down at the Lower Realm with a merciful gaze, his lips parted as if to speak, but before he could say anything, he was swept into the Immortal Execution Platform.

BOOM——

Something crashed down from the sky, smashing into those collapsed palaces.

The Divine Realm… had fallen.

–

The scene abruptly shifted, and Chuzheng saw the last person who had disappeared, walking on the white jade steps of the Nine Heavens, leading many people as they whispered to each other, their expressions grave.

“Immortal Monarchs, please…”

A boy led them towards a hall.

In that hall, there was the pool that Chuzheng had seen before.

There was no Xuan Ying above the pool, and inside the pool, the lava still roiled, while densely packed people stood in the hall.

There were not only the Divine Clan but also the Demon Clan…

“Whether the Tongtian Temple can be refined successfully depends on all of you.”

It was unclear who spoke; Chuzheng only saw these people starting to find their positions.

Chuzheng remembered, when she came in just now, this place… was very similar to the Tongtian Temple.

This was refining the Tongtian Temple.

This event should have occurred before the collapse of the Immortal Realm…

Lang Sha said before, refining a palace wasn’t easy, let alone a temple like the Tongtian Temple.

Judging by the current situation, it was probably gathering the power of all realms.

The image vanished again, and Chuzheng and Xuan Ying stood on the charred Immortal Execution Platform.

No more images appeared, and the temple suspended in mid-air stopped spinning.

The entire world was silent.

Chuzheng reached out and held Xuan Ying’s hand.

Xuan Ying, contemplating something, slightly lowered his head, seemingly unaware of Chuzheng’s gesture.

“The Nine Heavens we saw earlier is probably the real Nine Heavens,” Chuzheng said.

“Mm,” Xuan Ying responded.

The Divine Realm had fallen and fused with the Immortal Realm.

Ultimately forming the desolation we see now.

So…

After refining the Tongtian Temple and sending it to the Lower Realm, both the Divine Realm and the Immortal Realm collapsed, possibly including the Demon Realm.

The living beings from all realms should be dead by now.

Chuzheng rubbed her chin thoughtfully, “Considering how things look, when the realms closed the passages, they didn’t inform the Human Realm to return, perhaps deliberately so.”

At that time, she found it strange why they didn’t inform the gods and demons of the Human Realm to return when closing the passages.

Was there not enough time?

Closing the passages doesn’t happen with just a wave of the hand; there was ample time to return.

Yet no realm informed them.

The beings left in the Human Realm thought they were abandoned, but actually, they were the ones who could survive.

The Tongtian Temple seems to have been left for all the gods, demons, and others of the Human Realm, but something went wrong during the process, and the message wasn’t conveyed.

Now the temple has brought me here… probably to make me aware of the true significance of the Tongtian Temple.

But what’s it got to do with me?

I’m just an ordinary person!!

Chuzheng fell silent, thinking about that beautiful painting she had seen, feeling a bit uncertain.

Is she really just an ordinary person?

And what role does Xuan Ying play in all of this?

–

As Chuzheng was pondering, she suddenly felt Xuan Ying tighten his grip on her. Chuzheng glanced sideways at him, catching the glow of the Immortal Execution Platform rising again out of the corner of her eye.

The palace suspended in mid-air ‘swished’ and merged into her body, bringing an instant sense of weightlessness.

Instinctively, Chuzheng hugged Xuan Ying.

Lights and shadows shuttled, twisted, like the sensation of being in a Time-Space Tunnel.

Cold water enveloped them, limbs becoming heavy, and Chuzheng immediately used Yin Xian to wrap around them, surfacing out of the water.

Chuzheng promptly asked the person beside her, “Xuan Ying, are you alright?”

Xuan Ying, who hadn’t had time to react, was speechless: “…”

They were still in the river, but they could no longer see Hanjiang City, unsure where they were along the river.

They had come out from that place…

X!

Chuzheng felt like swearing but didn’t know whom to curse, so she could only hold her breath. Get full chapters from novel⚑fire.net

Chuzheng and Xuan Ying first got ashore.

“Ugly! Ugly!!”

Just as Chuzheng got ashore, a Jin Li jumped out of nowhere, clamoring at her.

Chuzheng kicked a stone down, hitting Jin Li square on the head.

Jin Li sank, dazed for a while, then surfaced again, “Ugly, you’re too much!”

Chuzheng looked at him expressionlessly, “Why are you here?”

Jin Li said, “Hanjiang City got flooded earlier, so I took the opportunity to escape.”

“Flooded?” Chuzheng remembered that loach, “How long has it been?”

“More than two months,” Jin Li replied, “Ugly, the River God has been looking for you everywhere; where have you been lately?”

“…”

If I said I went on a trip to the Divine and Immortal Realms, would you believe me?

Even brought back some local specialty items!

Chuzheng held her arm, feeling annoyed by the heat, and went closer to Xuan Ying.

Xuan Ying saw her holding her arm and hesitated, “Does it hurt?”

“It’s okay,” Chuzheng stubbornly replied.

Xuan Ying extended his hand, grasping her wrist, letting coolness transfer from his palm to Chuzheng’s wrist, gradually alleviating the burning sensation.

“Did you remember anything else?”

“No.”

Xuan Ying only remembered having his heart gouged out, with no recollection of what followed.

Chuzheng looked at the shimmering river surface, “The Divine Realm seems to be annihilated now; do you still want revenge?”

Xuan Ying: “…”

Who would he exact revenge on?
