Chapter 2614: Going Into the Ocean
Upon sensing the Monster Lord’s and other powerful entities’ auras leaving this world, Zu An flew into the air, took out the scepter he had obtained from the Monster Lord, and channeled a secret art to activate this world’s barrier. Due to his experience controlling the World Law Beacon in his previous life, he was able to do it smoothly.
Golden streaks of light appeared in the sky. All living beings in this world watched with bated breath as they interwove into a golden net. Despite no one explaining what was going on, they felt an inexplicable sense of calm. They looked at the humongous figure in the sky and speculated who it was.
Those with insider knowledge whispered that he was Saintess Yumen Beiqing’s lover. By this point, none of the fiends were jealous of him anymore. All they had were sincere blessings for the two of them.
The Saintess had truly descended from heaven to save the world. Not only had she turned the tides against the monsters, she'd even managed to seal off the powerful Lord of Slaughter. Even her man was powerful enough to unleash such a massive skill.
As he activated the barrier, Zu An couldn’t help but wonder why this world barrier was weaker compared to the future, despite the richer ki here. This world barrier was nowhere strong enough to seal off the entire world. On top of that, it would gradually weaken over time, eventually reaching a point where it could no longer ward off invaders.
But these things were all inscribed in fate. Since the future him would clean up the mess anyway, he wasn’t too worried about it.
Once the world barrier was reactivated, Zu An made his way to the Ocean races. There were many things he needed to settle, be it the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons or the Netherworld.
Pei Mianman accompanied him. They had been separated for so long that she didn’t want to part ways with him just yet. Zu An missed her dearly too. Each time took a look at her, he couldn’t help but think about the Goddess of Wu Mountain.
The other ladies were envious, but they had other matters to attend to.
Yumen Beiqing, as the Saintess, needed to lead the Fiend races to eradicate the remaining monsters in the world. Yun Yuqing and Suolun Shi, as members of the Fiend races, decided to stand with the people of this world and aid the Saintess. Even though the strongest ones were no longer around, the remaining monsters still posed danger. It would be more reassuring if the three of them could cover one another’s backs.
Ji Xiaoxi remained in the imperial court to concoct the medicine to curb her constitution. The ingredients were all in place now; all that was left was for her to work her expertise.
Instead of using Rainbow Morph, Zu An and Pei Mianman rode on a cloud to the Ocean races. After reaching immortality, he'd naturally learned how to maneuver clouds.
