Chapter 366 Time Flies By
Time stands still in the core space.
In an endless golden mist, countless points of light, representing good fortune, floated like lazy fireflies.
"Left side, left side! Yes, that's the pile of shiny luck balls, Xiao Shu, hurry up and channel them."
The little Luoshen Book, shaped like a dumpling, quickly flipped through the miniature pages in its hand, its gentle force precisely guiding the light point forward.
"Shrink the right side of the small tower a bit, there's some distraction getting in. Just give it a quick pass through the fire, don't go too hard," Huali directed methodically from below.
The phantom image of the tower behind the small tower on the right trembled slightly, and a few scattered flames "poof" sucked in the fortune.
When it was expelled again, the light spots became pure and warm, obediently merging into the light flow of the gold-type cards.
“And there’s more above! Ao Bai, there’s still a wisp of ‘luck’ about to drift away! Use your claws to hook it.”
Ao Bai, the fat cat, took off and precisely captured the luck that was trying to slip away.
Five cards spun around Huali, constantly absorbing the carefully selected light.
Although the fifth star is still dim, upon closer inspection, it seems... as if... it's a tiny bit brighter than before.
Whatever, it's lit up anyway!
After finishing everything, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
Ao Bai: "Alright, today's KPI is complete."
"What is KPI?" Luo Shenshu asked.
Ao Bai: "So... um? Um?? You can understand me?"
“No.” Luo Shenshu said with a serious little face, “But I can re-edit it according to your tone of voice and facial expressions, and turn it into a language that I can understand.”
Huali/Aobai/Xiaota were all dumbfounded: "...Good heavens."
To prevent the Book of Luoshen from continuing its Versailles-like existence, Huali selectively turned a deaf ear to the remaining fortune around her.
Their assignments weren't like this when they first entered this space.
At that time, everyone acted separately. Luo Shenshu used profound deductions to calculate the path of fortune, while Xiaota used force to collect the light points of fortune.
Traffic lights, one technical and one mechanical, are both inefficient.
As for Ao Bai... out of ten attacks by the fat cat, he was wrong four times.
Of course, Karin herself wasn't much better off.
After a period of time, Pear King deeply understood the despair of "not being able to lead a team means you can only work yourself to death."
So she worked through the night to create the "Light Chaser Alliance," which led to the current division of labor, and efficiency has indeed increased significantly.
There is no sense of the passage of time in this space; day and night are entirely determined by one's own perception.
When she first came in, Karin almost thought she was going to go insane.
It is important to understand that maintaining a stable mindset in a static environment is an extremely difficult thing.
Several times, it was only after Ao Bai's reminders that she was pulled back from the brink of collapse.
Fortunately, with Ao Bai and the traffic lights by his side, the long passage of time gradually wore away the initial sense of estrangement, and Hua Li successfully acquired the wonderful qualities of Monkey King.
Even when trapped under the "Five Finger Mountain", they can still entertain themselves.
Now, she only occasionally thinks about what's happening outside during the gaps in the flow of energy.
What year is it tonight?
*
"The thirty-second year...one hundred and thirty-three days."
Tang Wanwan sighed, "That damned Huali, if she doesn't come out this year, I'm going to pluck her out of the Causal Tree."
Mo Ziyan took a slight breath and handed the pill to Tang Wanwan, saying, "Stop the bleeding first."
Tang Wanwan wiped the blood splattered on her face with her backhand, spat and said irritably, "This black energy is endless. We can't kill it all, and we can't seal it off. It's so annoying every day."
Mo Ziyan shook his head helplessly and stroked his junior sister's hair. "Open your mouth."
Tang Wanwan obediently opened her mouth.
"Fortunately, Huali gave us a lot of good treasures back then, otherwise, with this kind of suppression method, it would be difficult to survive."
While crunching away at the pills, Tang Wanwan looked at Lian Zhuo, who was sitting cross-legged in front of her.
For so many years, the Buddhist disciple has been either suppressing the dark energy or stroking the concentric bracelet and the little star on his wrist, and he hardly talks to anyone else.
Tang Wanwan's eyes stung with tears as she sniffed, "Thirty-two years... and not a single sound..."
*
"Still no movement?"
Ao Bai looked at the domineering aura in front of him. Even though he roared like a vicious cat, the thing remained completely still.
This is so disrespectful to cats!
"Chief Steward Ao, northwest position, gather them together!"
"Watch Meow Meow King's Mage Fight!" Ao Bai charged forward headfirst! "Host, now's the time!"
The fire-type card suddenly flew out and absorbed all of Ao Bai's shattered fortune into starlight a second before it was destroyed!
Hua Li gave Ao Bai a high five and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
The luck I've been collecting lately is becoming increasingly refined, but it's also becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.
She raised her hand and touched the five little star bracelet on her wrist.
Just a little bit more...
*
"Then let's keep going!"
Shen Yu slammed his spear into the ground, forcing back the surging black energy. The young general's eyes were as sharp as ever, and his voice was clear and stern: "The core of the formation must be defended. Everyone must take turns every two days to maintain the seal."
The other elders of the sect, who were nearly a thousand years older than the young master, nodded and poured their abundant spiritual power into the barrier.
Don't ask, there's nothing I can do about it.
First, this kid is not even a hundred years old, but his cultivation has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he is about to become a deity.
Second, the divine beast Dang Kang is his man. Not only can heal, but he also occasionally gives out rare elixirs. You can't be too polite to accept gifts from someone who pays you.
Of course, the most crucial point is that this kid truly is a born general; in over forty years, he has never made a single mistake.
As soon as Shen Yu issued the order, Feng Yi was replaced, and Chang Liu took over.
Zhao Heng skillfully treated his and Shen Yu's injuries.
Shen Yu subconsciously touched the chess pieces in his arms; they had long been warmed by his body heat.
Only at this moment, when the composure of a general is shed, does the young general's eyes reveal a tidal wave of longing.
Feng Yi patted his shoulder, "It'll be soon."
Zhao Heng gazed into the distance, her emerald green eyes filled with longing.
Forty-four years and eight days.
*
"Has it been that long already?"
Huali looked at the increasingly long hair of the adult Xiaota and said, "Is your hair so long that it could circle the earth with a cup of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea?"
Xiao Ta estimated, "At this length, it should take fifty years."
Karin was taken aback. Had it been that long already?
In the instant she was distracted, the flow of energy around her suddenly changed.
The surrounding area was no longer a disordered collection of light spots, but had solidified into countless fragmented, mirror-like entities.
Each fragment refracts different light and shadow, swirling and whistling overhead.
And ripples began to spread out from beneath her feet.
"This is?"
"That's wonderful!" Ao Bai was almost moved to tears!
"Spatial reality takes shape, and time leaves its mark! The destiny here is beginning to truly respond to us!"
"Host, we're almost there!"
*
I don't think so.
"It's been over fifty years. If it were possible, it should have happened long ago."
"This place can only last for another forty years at most. If Miss Hua still doesn't come out, our old bodies will have to take our leave first."
"Haha, that girl helped earn an extra fifty years, it was worth it! It's just that she didn't help these little brats fight a little longer, I'm a little unwilling."
Tuowu glared at the group of old men and looked at Xiwu resentfully, "I really want to give them two electric cannons!"
Xi Wu tilted his head back and took a sip of water, then poured the water bottle over his head to clear his mind from the fighting. "Chatting with Brother Shrimp again?"
Tuowu nodded. "Brother Xia said that Little Bird is in a similar situation. Hearing that makes me feel a little better."
The two of them looked together at Wen Jin, who was in the eye of the formation.
The human touch that the Demon Lord had been forced to regain by Hua Li had become lifeless again during this long period of longing.
He remained silent, only stroking the ever-blooming rose in his hand again and again.
Even when exhausted, unconscious, and vomiting blood, he still pressed it firmly against his chest, stubbornly waiting for someone.
