In Chapter 200, as the process of mending the sky begins, Sang Zhitao glanced at Qinglan...
Sang Zhitao glanced at Qinglan, then at everyone else, before shaking her head and saying, "I'm afraid you alone cannot mend the sky."
“I’ve said before that the friend on Earth shares the same origin as your soul, so mending the sky definitely requires both of you to work together.”
"But the trading gate can't be opened, so how can she come to Qingyuan Realm?" Qingyan asked, frowning.
"The transaction portal has never been a place where people can pass through directly, so I need to go back to Earth and bring her here."
"Now?" Qingyan frowned slightly, thinking of Sang Zhitao's opportunity to travel through time.
“Well, now.” Sang Zhitao sighed. “Although I’ve never traveled through time during the day before, let’s give it a try, just in case.”
Looking up at the constantly cracking sky above, and then at the various cave lords and clan leaders who were desperately maintaining the barrier to protect all living beings in the Three Realms, Qingyan turned to look at Qinglan.
"Senior sister, please lend me a hand." Her cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and she needs external help to reach the point where she can transcend.
Such external force is not something that can be accepted casually. It requires Qinglan to forcibly transfer her own cultivation to her, which means that Qingyan will bear cultivation that does not belong to her and is beyond her current ability.
"That's too dangerous!" Qinglan shook her head in disapproval.
"Senior sister! With danger looming ahead, how can I abandon all living beings for my own sake, since I am the only hope for survival!" Qingyan grasped her hand, her eyes filled with earnestness.
Qinglan bit her lip, and despite her reluctance, she could only nod emphatically: "Okay!"
Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her towards the cave, while Sang Zhitao consulted with Madam Luan about casting a spell on herself later so that she could fall asleep peacefully.
With the arrangement made by both parties, Sang Zhitao disappeared from everyone's sight half an hour later.
"Ding!!" The alarm sounded at the Earth base, and the familiar alarm signaling the return of hope startled those who heard it.
I glanced out the window subconsciously and realized it was still daytime.
"Why did it ring during the day? Is the equipment broken?" Professor Su Guoxi rubbed his temples and put the lab report back on the table, asking hesitantly.
Wang Le glanced out the window and couldn't help but tease, "This system is the core system of our group. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it ruin the teacher's reputation?"
Su Guoxi couldn't help but tap his head with the rolled-up report: "Why aren't you going to see what's going on?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Le ran away while dodging.
It wasn't just Su Guoxi's group that was alarmed; other groups were also surprised by the daytime alarm, and most groups sent people to check the situation.
High-ranking officials like Li Mingguo rushed to the observation room, secretly praying that nothing bad had happened to Tao Tao.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Sang Zhitao standing unharmed in the observation room.
"Uncle Li, please bring my friend Ruoyin here immediately. I must take her to the world of cultivation." Sang Zhitao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Li Mingguo and hurriedly said.
"Can we bring people into the other world now?" Li Mingguo hurriedly arranged for his secretary to do so before looking at Sang Zhitao with curiosity.
Sang Zhitao shook her head and briefly explained the matter of the cultivation world: "Now I need to take her to achieve Dao Integration. She already has ties to that world, so I think I should be able to take her there."
"...Is there any danger?" Li Mingguo lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking.
"I'm fine, it's just the issue of base security..." Sang Zhitao pursed her lips, saying with some worry.
Upon hearing this, Li Mingguo suddenly laughed and said, "It's alright. Our technology is constantly being updated and iterated, and the base is impregnable. We've already investigated your friend's family history for eighteen generations, so don't worry."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "The country is here to help, you don't need to worry."
Sang Zhitao smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that nothing was wrong with Sang Zhitao, the others were relieved and took their leave.
Less than two hours later, Ruoyin was brought over.
"Not bad, Tao Tao, your room has a lot of style," Ruo Yin said as she looked around the technologically advanced yet cozy and lovely room after her blindfold was removed.
"Ruoyin, I think the person who picked you up has already told you that I need you to do an experiment with me." Sang Zhitao didn't continue with pleasantries and spoke directly.
"Experiment?" Ruoyin paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "That seems to be what it said, what kind of experiment?"
Sang Zhitao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I... I can't tell you the details of the experiment right now."
Ruoyin raised an eyebrow: "That's alright, come on, what do you need me to do?"
With an apologetic look in her eyes, Sang Zhitao said, "Aren't you worried that I'm lying to you?"
Ruoyin couldn't help but burst into laughter twice: "Bao'er, you're just lying to me, forget it."
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw her like this, but instead of starting the experiment directly, she walked to the side and sent a message to the person outside the observation room.
However, in an instant, the other party replied with two words: "Approved".
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief before turning around and pulling Qingyan aside, saying, "There's a cultivation world facing an apocalyptic crisis, needing a reincarnation of Nuwa, the goddess of the world's consciousness, to mend the heavens. And you and someone from that world both belong to that world's consciousness, so..."
"So I'm going to that world to become Nuwa?" Ruoyin raised an eyebrow, her face full of intense interest.
Sang Zhitao nodded: "I'm worried that you might be chosen by Heaven to merge with the Dao, what if..."
"It's alright. It's the Heavenly Dao, that should be a really cool thing, right?" Ruoyin said with a smile, holding her hand. "Don't worry, I've always been lucky, I'm not that unlucky."
“But…” Sang Zhitao couldn’t help but regret her rashness, which had dragged her innocent friend into the mess.
Ruoyin, having known her for so long, naturally understood what she meant and quickly said, "You said that I and the people of that world are both reincarnations of the world's consciousness, so perhaps even if you can't take me there, I will go there anyway."
“I…” Sang Zhitao opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn’t know what to say.
Ruoyin, holding her hand, continued, "Alright, hurry up, what do you need me to do?"
“…Take a nap.” Sang Zhitao handed her a harmless sleeping pill that she had prepared beforehand.
After taking their medicine, the two lay down on the bed.
A familiar green light appeared, enveloping the two of them.
Soon, the green light disappeared, and Sang Zhitao vanished without a trace, but Ruoyin was left behind.
"What happened? Did it fail again?" Li Mingguo asked, frowning. "Get the child checked out quickly, just in case there are any health consequences."
"Yes." Just as Zhang Su was about to go down with the testing equipment, a flash of blue light appeared and then disappeared on the bed.
"This..." The crowd looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
“It should be in the past.” Team Leader Sheng An pushed up his glasses. “Tao Tao said that the world fragments there were cyan in color.”
Hearing him say that, the others finally felt relieved and dispersed.
When Sang Zhitao woke up, she didn't see Ruoyin's figure and her face was pale.
"Failed?" Madam Luan sighed softly, patting Sang Zhitao's head. "It's alright, it's alright if you failed."
As they were talking, Qingyan and Qinglan walked out of the cave. Seeing that there were no unfamiliar faces outside, the two immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help but sigh.
“Perhaps this is the choice of Heaven.” Qingyan walked up to Sang Zhitao and said softly, “Since it is His choice, then I will respect Him.”
As she spoke, she walked up to Elder Qing and Madam Luan, and said apologetically, "Teacher, Madam, please let me give it a try."
“Child…this is too dangerous…” Madam Luan held her hands tightly, her eyes filled with tears, her voice choked with sobs.
“But Madam, we can’t just let all the beings in the Three Realms die like this. How can I bear it? How can I dare to live a life of dishonor?” Qingyan shook his head and continued to persuade her.
“But according to our previous idea, it would be possible to complete the patching of the sky only if you and the one on Earth merged into one. How can you do it alone now?!” Elder Qing was naturally unwilling as well.
Qingyan looked around at these people who could be considered her juniors, then at her only two elders, and then at her senior sister with tears in her eyes.
He then smiled and said, "Perhaps this is why I have been unable to ascend for four thousand years. Since the Heavenly Dao has already made the choice for me back then, why shouldn't I obey the will of Heaven?"
Elder Qing and Madam Luan intended to try to persuade him again, and even Qinglan couldn't help but want to speak up and offer advice.
But their words were interrupted by the earnestness in Qingyan's eyes, and all their attempts at persuasion were swallowed back.
Qingyan straightened her back, looked at everyone present, and suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, there's no need for that. I will definitely succeed."
"If I succeed, I will become the Heavenly Dao, and I will give you special treatment when you ascend to immortality."
As she spoke, she pulled off the wine gourd from her waist and drank all the wine in it in one gulp.
She vigorously wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth, smashed the wine gourd on the ground, and bowed, saying, "Everyone, wish me a victorious return!"
"Lord Qingyan, you will surely return in triumph!" Everyone bowed to Qingyan with tears in their eyes, their voices filled with sorrow.
Qingyan took a deep breath, said no more, waved his sleeve and flew straight towards the largest crack in the sky.
As they watched her figure disappear into the thousands of lightning bolts, the Spirit Clan members could no longer hold back their cries.
The Dream Clan members held the mirror and lowered their heads, but after a moment they raised their heads and looked at each other.
With heavy steps, they raised the mirror high, and the small mirrors in each person's arms merged into one large mirror, which then slowly floated into the sky.
The mirror hangs in mid-air, reflecting a distant banquet scene.
A moment later, a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of a Dream Clan member's mouth.
"You're all too reckless..." A human cultivator sighed upon seeing this.
"They're also worried about Qingyan." The human cultivator's close friend couldn't help but sigh, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered.
"Forget it, let's check on Qingyan first." A human cultivator next to them pointed to the demon race beside them and said again, "Look at them and the spirit race, they've already prepared to replenish their spiritual energy. Let's prepare as soon as possible too."
Upon seeing this, the nearby human cultivators all focused their divine senses on the Dream Clan member before turning their attention to Qingyan.
