Holding the girl in his arms tightly, Shen Qian sighed.
He has roughly tested it, and found that the vitality in You Ling's body has long been exhausted. She is still breathing because her spiritual core has not been completely corroded, but there is no way to recover.
Even though the two of them were hugging each other at this moment, You Ling was still a little cautious, as if she was afraid of contaminating the poison on her body to Shen Qian.
You Ling's entire face was almost completely covered by the gray lines. She tried hard to keep her dim eyes wide open, as if she was afraid of falling asleep completely.
"Shen Qian, do you believe me?"
You Ling said in a babble.
"Of course I believe it."
"Then..."
You Ling suddenly raised her arms with difficulty and touched Shen Qian's hands with her own hands, but her movements were extremely slow.
Sensing that the other party seemed to want to do something, Shen Qian directly took her hand, and the two intertwined their fingers.
"I'm so scared. I'm afraid that I will really disappear like this and you won't remember me..."
Shen Qian said nothing, but held the girl's hand tightly.
Suddenly, the girl raised her neck and gently kissed Shen Qian's chest with her cracked lips.
Shen Qian was shocked at first because he felt some mysterious power surging, but he quickly calmed down.
He believes that You Ling will not harm him. Even at this time, if the other party really wants to pass the poison to him, so what?
It was originally because of him that You Ling was poisoned!
After a while, You Ling moved her head, tilted her head and leaned it on Shen Qian's shoulder again.
Shen Qian lowered his head and looked down. As expected, there were no signs of decay on his body. Only at the place where You Ling had kissed, a faint red lip mark could be seen through the clothes, as if it were an illusion. .
"My mother died when I was very young."
You Ling's consciousness has begun to blur, but she is still talking.
"She taught me a spell before she died. She told me not to be sad, because people who love each other will always see each other again, even if they can annihilate the long river of time together, they cannot stop it..."
"I don't know if my mother lied..."
"Because my father always walks in the netherworld, but he can never find his mother again..."
"The name of this spell is called the Three Lives Curse..."
"Sansheng, it sounds really nice..."
You Ling's voice became softer and softer, until it was completely silent.
During this process, Shen Qian kept kneeling and hugging her. It was not until his arms became completely empty that Shen Qian lowered his head and looked down.
The girl's figure has long since disappeared, leaving no clean trace, not even her spiritual core.
Only the remaining warmth in my arms is still telling me something.
"Three Lives Curse..."
Shen Qian muttered.
He did not tell the girl that the spell might be true, because the girl's ears had already melted by then and she could no longer hear what Shen Qian said.
Even though he knew that this might not be a real farewell, Shen Qian still felt a little sad.
After sitting there for a long time, Shen Qian put away all his emotions. He took a deep breath, stood up, and suddenly waved his hand.
During the surge of Yuan Power, many true god bones were picked from the Vulcan statue not far away.
Then Shen Qian used the skeleton as a framework, collected a lot of gravel from the ground, and started working on the spot.
About an hour later, when Shen Qian, who was unusually in a hurry, finally stopped working, there was already a stone statue of a girl as tall as a person in the place where You Ling disappeared just now.
The stone statue is not very exquisite, and can even be said to be a bit ugly, but fortunately, the facial features that were carefully carved before being sunk still have a bit of a girlish charm.
But Shen Qian couldn't tell for a moment whether the statue looked more like You Ling or Huo Ling'er.
The girl stretched out her hands with a bright smile on her face, as if she was hugging something.
"When you come to ancient times, just think of it as leaving a memory."
Shen Qian murmured to himself, then he flew up and circled the Fire Temple.
Using the formation knowledge in his mind, plus some remaining treasures in the Fire Temple's treasure house that could be used as formation disks, Shen Qian not only restored the original restrictions of the Fire Temple as much as possible, but also left behind a large number of protective formations.
After doing all this, Shen Qian was still not satisfied. He left the Fire Temple again and wandered around the nearby area hundreds of miles away with his full consciousness.
There were not many people who could climb to the Nine Heavens, and almost all the rest were killed by Shen Qian. It can be said that Shen Qian was probably the only living person left in the Nine Heavens, so he didn't have anything to worry about.
When Shen Qian turned back an hour later, he had attracted hundreds of seven-colored giants to chase him.
After attracting all the seven-colored giants into the Fire Temple, Shen Qian closed the door outside and nodded with satisfaction.
"With so many seven-color giants approaching the peak of the mountains and seas, plus the prohibition formation that is enough to cause the mountains and seas to fall, no one else can enter this Fire Temple."
Shen Qian murmured.
Finally, he added a concealment formation to make the Fire Temple disappear from sight, and then Shen Qian turned around and left.
The main materials for refining the prince's clones have been collected, and all the top geniuses of the younger generation of the Wanzu have been slaughtered by him. Nothing can be seen in the short term, but it can be expected that this will definitely be a problem for other ethnic groups other than the human race. A very debilitating incident.
Shen Qian could not predict the aftermath of this incident and what would happen to the human race.
For him, everything he needs to do has been done, and it’s time for him to “go home”.
……
Shen Qian had no idea how to find his way home in Jiuchongtian.
But just when he crushed the conch of time, Shen Qian's heart palpitated. There was something attracting him somewhere in the ninth heaven.
And that unknown thing must be related to the time conch or the long river of time.
Shen Qian continued to move forward along the direction he just noted down, almost without wasting any time along the way. According to the map, the most valuable secret place in Jiuchongtian is the Fire Temple.
After rushing like this, only half an hour later, when the fog was cleared, a huge palace appeared in Shen Qian's field of vision.
"This is it!"
Looking at the slightly dilapidated palace, Shen Qian's heart palpitated again, and he immediately fell into the path in front of the palace door.
Walking on the path, a sense of familiarity came over me.
When he walked to the palace gate, Shen Qian immediately realized where this place was.
"Isn't this the Nine Kings Secret Realm?"
Shen Qian was a little surprised.
The palace in front of him was exactly the same as the secret realm he entered in the Nine Heavens. It was just that there was missing a stone tablet in front of the palace door marked "Nine Kings Secret Realm".
Looking carefully, Shen Qian found some differences.
Although this palace is also dilapidated and desolate, it is still much better than when he saw it on the Nine Heavens.
"So this palace was later used by the Nine Kings as a secret realm?"
Shen Qian was thinking.
Shen Qian is not sure how far the era he is now from modern times is, but it is at least tens of millions of years apart.
So what was this palace used for before?
Shen Qian looked up and saw that the place in the palace where the name of the palace was originally hung was empty, but traces could still be seen vaguely, but the plaque was missing.
Unable to think clearly for a moment, Shen Qian simply stopped thinking and strode forward to open the bronze palace door.
Boom!
There were no restrictions on the bronze door, which weighed ten thousand kilograms, and Shen Qian pushed it open easily. However, when he walked into it, the scene in front of him was very different from when Shen Qian stepped into the Nine Kings Secret Realm.
There is no surging spiritual mist, no fog blocking the view, and there are no more bizarre colors on the dome.
What appeared in Shen Qian's sight was an empty hall with traces of dilapidation.
Only in the middle, where there is a ray of light shining down from the dome, is a desk made of white jade.
Shen Qian's eyes were focused, and his figure flashed across a thousand meters distance and appeared in front of the white jade desk.
What surprised Shen Qian was that there was nothing on the desk that he expected.
Shen Qian frowned at first, and then realized something was wrong. There was obviously a deep dent on the desk, and it could be seen that there must have been something heavy pressing on it.
But now, the unknown treasure has disappeared.
Shen Qian knelt down and after careful inspection, he found that there was a line of inconspicuous small words engraved on the side of the desk. It was just a scrawled handwriting, as if it had been written in a hurry.
"I'm waiting for you at the end of...that 'door' is not closed..."
Shen Qian reached out and touched the words left unknown how long ago, and couldn't help but frown for a moment.
The words were intermittent, and he was not sure what the complete sentences were like.
"'Gate'?" Shen Qian chewed on the word and muttered a little.
Didn’t the concept of “door” only appear in modern martial arts society?
"Are you looking for this?"
While Shen Qian was thinking, a faint voice suddenly sounded from behind Shen Qian.
"Who!"
Shen Qian, who was startled, turned around suddenly, and then was startled.
Just behind him, in the main hall, another figure appeared at some point.
He was wearing black clothes and had a tall figure. He had long hair that seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time. He vaguely revealed a weathered and angular indifferent face. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and there seemed to be no emotional fluctuations in them.
The young man is carrying a completely black spear on his back, and his right hand is holding a large bronze bell as tall as a man with intricate patterns.
The moment he saw the bronze bell, Shen Qian was sure that it was what was originally placed on the white jade desk.
The young man in front of him was obviously a human race, but Shen Qian had never seen him before.
Obviously, he does not belong to Ji Wen's group.
"Are you... Nukan?"
Shen Qian's pupils shrank, and he quickly thought of someone.
"How did you know?" the young man asked calmly.
"The human race that can enter the Nine Heavens can still appear behind me silently. Who else is there except Nukan, who is ranked first among the divine pillars?"
Shen Qian smiled faintly.
But in fact, he is far less calm inside than on the surface.
With his now almost incredible mental strength, how many people in the mountains and seas can still get close to him without alerting him?
With just one glance, he was sure that the young man in front of him was more terrifying than others described.
Boom!
Nukan threw the bronze bell in his hand to the ground. The bronze bell didn't look very heavy, but it made the whole hall tremble.
"Are you here for this imitation Chaos Clock?" Nukan asked.
"Chaos clock?" Shen Qian raised his eyebrows.
"When the world first opened, there were a group of treasures born in Hongmeng. They existed even earlier than the first batch of immortal gods. The Chaos Bell is one of the treasures."
Nukan said calmly, "It is rumored that the Chaos Bell has the ability to tear apart the world and suppress time and space, but it has disappeared in ancient times, and no one has seen its true form since then."
Tear apart the world and suppress time and space?
When Shen Qian heard these two keywords, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Doesn't that mean that this is the key he can use to enter the river of time?
Shen Qian glanced at the bronze bell that vaguely exuded a depressing aura, but he was a little frightened. The imitation of the chaos bell alone gave him a sense of oppression that far exceeded that of an S-class psychic weapon. How terrible would it be if it were a real chaos clock?
"What do you mean when you tell me this?"
Shen Qian understood that the person who entered the hall first was Nukan, but if the other person came for this imitation chaos clock, then he had already obtained it, so why should he continue to wait here?
"Fight with me, and I will give you this Chaos Bell."
Nukan's expression remained unchanged and he stated his purpose.
The hall fell silent.
Shen Qian looked directly at the young man opposite, and the atmosphere seemed to have undergone some subtle change.
Standing in front of Shen Qian is actually the true number one person of the younger generation in this era, a legendary figure who shocked the gods. He was born as a slave but overshadowed the equally talented Wulan, who even had the trump card of a prince. A peerless genius who dares not challenge easily.
As for Shen Qian, he had actually established his reputation as the number one among the younger generation of modern martial arts during the Nine Heavens War.
This is... a peak battle that spans thousands of years!
Shen Qian lowered his eyebrows slightly, and the next moment he had the Shanhe Knife in his hand, and his figure disappeared from the place like a phantom.
Boom!
There seemed to be thunder and lightning in the main hall. In the continuous lightning, there was a series of dense figures like a shadow play, extending from where Shen Qian was to where Nukan was.
Ding! Dang!
A crisp sound of fighting passed by, but Nukan did not pull out the spear on his back, he just blocked the knife with the back of his hand.
Dazzling sparks suddenly appeared from the place where the back of the hand and the long knife collided. Shen Qian looked at the golden light flashing on Nukan's skin, and his eyes became solemn for a moment.
This Nukan is actually a top expert in body refining!
But at the next moment, something happened that was difficult for Shen Qian to understand.
Crazy Yuan Power surged out of Nukan's body and directly launched Shen Qian away.
The opponent's realm was far higher than his own, so it was not surprising that Shen Qian was at a disadvantage for a while. What really shocked Shen Qian was that he felt an extremely familiar meaning in Nukan's Yuan Power.
"Chaotic energy!"
Shen Qian was shocked and said, "You also have the origin of chaos?"
