Hearing this, General Wan, who thought Jing Heng had figured it out, was almost torn apart.
He grabbed his old friend by the collar and said in a panic, "What on earth are you thinking about, Jing Heng!"
"Wen Yu rescued you because he believed you could protect the people of Da Yan, not because he wanted you to be so stupid as to die again!"
"...I know." Jing Heng lowered his eyes, and his emotions calmed down a lot. "I'm not going to die, I'm just going to...see her. Even if I forget her after this."
"If we want to implement this plan, we must also let Ayu, who is staying in the secret realm, know the current situation."
Hearing this, Mu Yuyue thought for a moment and said to Jing Heng, "If you want to enter the secret realm again, Your Majesty, please let me go with you."
"Hirazuki...?" Wen Li looked at her. That was a dangerous place where even a ninth-rank legendary beastmaster would risk their lives. Hiirazuki wanted to go in too?
"I have something I want to verify, and I have to enter the 'Outer Star Sea' to do it. "Mu Huoyue comforted her friend, "Don't worry, with Eren here, even if we can't defeat the polluted beast, we will have no problem escaping from the shadow space. ”
Jing Heng nodded, agreeing to Mu Chuyue's request. Wan Tiandong couldn't persuade him, so he had to start preparing to enter the secret realm again.
The young emperor looked at Wen Li and asked, "Do you have any idea about the timing of the sacrificial activities?"
Wen Li thought about it carefully and answered, "The celebration dance of Phoenix Mountain is held every month at the time of the flames. Converted to the current calendar, it is after the third day of this month."
"Very good, let's do it the way you know." Jing Heng said, "Before that, we will seize the opportunity to enter the "Outer Star Sea". ”
…
The preparations to re-enter the secret realm were quickly completed. Jing Heng did not let any outsiders know about this action. Compared to the previous advance investigation team composed of more than a hundred court beastmasters, the only people who re-entered the "Outer Star Sea" this time were him and Mu Chuyue.
On the way to the secret connection point, General Wan couldn't help but show his worry.
In any case, he didn't want Jing Heng to take this risk again.
Jing Heng was not used to seeing him like this, "Wan Tiandong, why do you become so fussy after being in danger? Haven't we experienced enough desperate and dangerous situations along the way?"
General Wan was too lazy to refute him. They all knew that the "Outer Star Sea" was different from all the previous dangerous places.
"I will come back alive. Didn't you hear them say that in the future I will be a tyrant who mobilizes the whole country to find elixirs and magical beasts, intending to live forever. There is no way I will die here." Jing Heng said.
If someone had said to Wan Tiandong a month ago that Jing Heng would be a tyrant in the future, he would have definitely sneered and put that person in prison, but after witnessing his current actions with his own eyes...
General Wan sighed in his heart and said, let him go.
If the plan of the Great Shaman Wen Yu really succeeded, the person who would suffer the most would probably be Jing Heng.
There is not even a chance to feel uncomfortable.
Three days later, the group arrived at the connection point of the "Outer Star Sea".
This was a chasm-like crack that appeared out of nowhere, stretching straight across the air. A faint ink-like chaotic aura dripped from inside. It was exactly the same crack that Mu Chuyue saw in the sacrificial hall of Phoenix Mountain six hundred years later.
The connection point at this time has not yet been transformed into Star Swirl, and is an unstable connection point belonging to the Flashing Period Secret Realm.
Jing Heng took out the amulet used to explore the secret realm. This was an amulet made with the highest-level light skills, which could protect the wearer from saneness when crossing the secret realm.
Mu Huoyue opened the investigator bracelet and activated the [Mind Calibration Mode] to explore the sudden secret realm.
The two looked at each other, then walked towards the chasm-like gap, and their figures disappeared at the same time.
…
After a moment of feeling light and weightless, Jing Heng's feet stepped on solid ground.
The sky was a dark and deep sea of stars, and beneath his feet was a barren earth. He seemed to be standing at the end of eternal time.
When he came here again, Jing Heng was not as nervous and flustered as when he first arrived. He released his spiritual sense through the beast-controlling space, but he could not find Mu Chuyue's breath within the sensing range of more than one city.
This was also one of the situations that had been planned for before entering the secret realm. After all, the causality of time and space was disordered in the chaos, and individuals from different time and space were likely to step into different spaces.
Jing Heng calmed himself down and focused on the purpose of his trip. He soon saw where Wen Yu was.
A huge layer of fiery energy covered the area in front of the line of sight, shrouding the most critical location of the Lord of the Secret Realm. While preventing the Star Evil from further leaking out, it also blocked people like him who were willing to risk their lives to enter the secret realm.
This is the imperial domain of the advanced imperial race, the Vermillion Flame Bird, the Burning Ash Seal.
The Red Flame Bird's domain skills, combined with the incantations of the Phoenix Shaman clan, made the blocking ability more powerful than any other imperial domain.
Jing Heng seemed to have anticipated the appearance of the Burning Sealed World and raised his hand to summon his contracted pet.
This is the Xia Wang Sword which has not yet evolved into a [Spirit Attached God] and is still in the [Spirit of the Weapon] stage.
Jing Heng made some calculations with his fingers, then mobilised the Xia Wang Sword, which split into eight sword shadows in the air and all sank into the energy layer of the barrier.
After a while, the burning seal melted open an oval entrance that was wide enough for one person to pass through. After Jing Heng entered, the entrance immediately melted away and returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
He had already mastered the technique of unlocking the Burning Ashes Seal six hundred years ago.
The unusual movement of the Burning Ashes Sealed Realm was soon discovered by the Beastmaster of the Red Flame Bird. Jing Heng heard a phoenix cry in the void of time and space. He saw the figure of the Red Flame Bird approaching from afar. The figure wearing a flaming sacrificial robe jumped off the bird's back and walked towards him.
Everything was exactly the same as when they first met, which made Jing Heng feel a little dazed, as if he was still the young man who fought all night to guard the village. He faced the first ray of dawn and saw the Phoenix Priest who was as brilliant as a flame.
"Jing Heng!?" Wen Yu was injured, and there were large bloodstains on his ceremonial robes, as if the flame patterns on them had been ignited.
"How did you come in? Everything I said to you before was——"
Wen Yu's voice sounded a little urgent, but it stopped abruptly after he landed and saw Jing Heng's figure clearly.
The young emperor had burst into tears without knowing when.
He stared at the person in front of him with eyes blurred by tears, making Wen Yu unable to say a single harsh word.
She had known Jing Heng for more than twenty years, and she had only seen this young man cry on the day they first met. After that, no matter what desperate situations and dangerous battles he went through, he never showed a trace of weakness until he ascended to the throne.
The battle that day was tragic. Countless people in Jing Heng's village were killed or wounded, with only one or two survivors. Jing Heng's parents were also among those attacked by the beasts...
No, that's not right. The beastmasters in the village fought all night and protected most of the civilians and ordinary people. That village was the only survival point she found. When the capital of Yuzhou was completely lost, she didn't expect that there was a surviving village left in the suburbs by miracle...
The crying young boy Jing Erliang and the young boy Jing Erliang whose eyes sparkled when he saw her overlapped, and it was difficult to tell which memory was which.
The connection between time, space and cause and effect is in disorder. The longer she is in chaos, the more likely she is to experience such symptoms, until all traces that define her existence are dissolved by chaos.
Wen Yu calmed himself down and stopped thinking about the memories that were becoming increasingly confused and losing their time logic.
She looked at the young emperor who was crying silently in front of her, and asked in a very normal tone: "...Speaking of which, when did you learn how to unlock the [Burning Embers Seal]?"
"Who is it that always tells me that I am extremely talented and have great potential?" Jing Heng couldn't help but smile and replied subconsciously, "You have used it so many times, you should have known how to solve it a long time ago."
However, Jing Heng would respect the High Priest's wish to activate the barrier seal, and he never thought that the skills he had casually mastered would be used at this time.
He wiped away all his tears and turned back into the appearance that Wen Yu was most familiar with: the guardian of Dayan, a ninth-rank legendary beastmaster, and a calm and reliable young emperor.
"...I went to see Wen Li, and it was just as you said. She came from the future and knew the special ritual method to trigger [Blood Burning]."
"Everything is going as you wish. If everything goes well, this will be the last minute."
Jing Heng couldn't help but slow down his voice, as if this would allow him to stay with the person in front of him for a while longer.
"I came here because I know the true meaning of karma burning out. I don't want you, Yu, to end up alone and facing a chaotic ending."
"Even if I won't remember anything after this, the things that happened in the past and the time we are spending right now...will not be meaningless."
Wen Yu's gaze fell on the young emperor.
"Then talk to me." She smiled slightly.
"To be honest, when I was left alone, I was very nervous. I didn't know if things would develop as I expected, if I could seal the pollution of the Star Evil, and if my decision was correct..."
"Sending the present catastrophe to the future may be unfair to the future. The sacrifices and casualties that may occur then will all be caused by me."
Wen Yu paused, "Apart from everything else, I am very happy to say goodbye to you for the last time, Jing Heng."
"…I'll find a way!"
Jing Heng looked at her with burning eyes, "Find a way to truly eliminate the Star Eclipse Heavenly Evil in hundreds of years, so that there will be no casualties and sacrifices in the future. It is everything you have done that has saved the present Da Yan."
Wen Yu was slightly startled, then smiled with relief.
More blood spread from the wound, covering every inch of her skin, spontaneously forming high-temperature flame patterns.
Her whole body seemed to be burning, and her face became blurred in the fluctuations of high temperature.
This is a sign of [Burning Blood] being activated.
She felt a strong resonance in her blood, from the first ancestor who established a connection with the Sun Phoenix in ancient times, to the descendants who would perform the sacrificial dance on the stage in the future.
This is the causal inheritance of the Divine Phoenix Witch Clan, the point that connects all time, and the cornerstone for her to realize this plan.
Wen Li did not disappoint her. The Divine Phoenix Shaman Festival from the future had already left a signpost in [Burning Blood].
"Looks like the time has come." Wen Yu looked at his burning body, then looked at the person in front of him. The domain of [Burning Ashes Seal] shrank infinitely until it completely enveloped Jing Heng.
Jing Heng gritted his teeth hard. He didn't want Wen Yu to see him losing his composure in the last moments. However, the surging emotions in his heart were so intense that just maintaining the most basic decency had exhausted all his strength.
The flaming energy layer enveloped Jing Heng, and Wen Yu said softly, "I believe you can find a way."
"So at the end of this journey, at the paradox of chaos and time, in the netherworld where there is no possibility of existence..."
"I will meet you there again, Jing Heng."
