Chapter 751 Source Star
Seeing La Nan's ugly expression, Yu Cang's heart also sank.
He rarely saw such a bewildered expression on La's face.
When getting involved in a process, you can usually guarantee success throughout the entire process.
Since we have seen it, it means that the current situation... is extremely bad.
Is there anything that even La couldn't think of?
At this time, La had closed his eyes, as if sensing something.
Seeing this, Yu Cang did not disturb him, but began to observe the surrounding situation on his own.
This is a... extremely desolate land.
They were standing on the top of a low hill, looking around. Everywhere they looked was a scorched earth. The earth was dark and desolate, and there wasn't even any plant life on it!
Only some dark brown fibers seeped out from under the earth, and under the blowing of the strong wind, they endlessly touched the sky.
In fact, Yu Cang's vision could not see too far, because endless and extremely violent storms were raging on the earth. Above the earth, several storms penetrated the sky and the earth, and flying sand and even some huge rocks hundreds of meters high were swept into the air, which made the visibility in this world extremely low.
Fortunately, La held up a magic shield and used magic to purify the surrounding air immediately, maintaining a clear vision within a thousand meters.
Looking at the exaggerated performance of those storms, if Yu Cang rushed into them without any protection... the result would probably not be being blown away, but being directly cut into a bloody mist by the exploding sand.
And the sky... was also in ruins.
There was no way to find the position of the sun or the moon in the sky, and everything was almost pitch black. Even the stars could not be seen, so let's just assume it was night time.
Occasionally, there was a tiny bit of night light moving in the wind and sand, but after Yu Cang carefully sensed it, he found that those lights... should all come from some wild beasts, and they were using their energy to emit light.
And if you use magic and look towards the deepest part of the sky, you can see huge dark clouds rising straight up while hovering, and gradually thinning until they disappear and fade into nothingness.
In the deepest part of such a sky, a faint breath can be heard.
After careful perception, Yu Cang was stunned.
That breath... is so familiar.
Is it chaos?
However, Chaos should not be able to directly border the real world.
But the extremely strong aura of chaos that he sensed did not seem fake.
What could it be...and where exactly is this place?
Yu Cang stroked his chin, lost in thought.
They came out of [Shuyoucaixi] and came directly here.
Logically speaking, during this period of time within the [Moment of Cutting], the body of the Past Bubble Soul Card will be anchored in place and enter a state where no existence can interfere.
Therefore, after seven days, they should still appear in the same place.
In the current situation... putting aside the possibility that the Parliament of Offa was razed to the ground in just seven days, it is obvious that they were only transferred to other places.
And just now, Laludi cried out that he had been tricked... Could it be St. George's doing?
But St. George had not found the spare body that La had hidden in the rift of time. [Cutting the Gap in a Moment] was an ability as powerful as the rift of time. Logically, St. George should not have been able to interfere.
Not to mention, they are all in the Council of Arcane Magic, where they cannot use their own spells. When they cannot cast spells, what can even St. George do?
Yu Cang frowned.
Could it be...that something went wrong with Ornn or the Council of the Olympians?
No way.
...Let’s not talk about those things for now. Where on earth were they teleported to?
Looking at the desolate area nearby, which looked like the end of the world, Yu Cang was also confused.
Could it be some place on the main continent? Before my eyes, was this the scene after the illusion of the distorted sanctuary was stripped away?
And just at this moment.
As if he noticed Yu Cang's confusion, La opened his eyes.
"This place...is no longer Roland Sky Realm."
“…”
"Come to think of it, you've been to this place before."
"I've been here before?" Yu Cang blinked. "Could it be that we've returned to Blue Star now?"
"no."
La shook his head, wanting to speak but hesitant. Finally, he sighed and said:
"This is 'Source Star'."
"Source Star? Wait, can't it be..." Yu Cang's eyes suddenly widened, "Is this the world where I rescued you?"
"That's right." Ra nodded, his expression serious. "Do you still remember... the method of originating from the star?"
"If I remember correctly, it should be a string of numbers..."
Back then, in Mudu, Xingchen performed surgery on Zhao Yang and removed the consciousness worm in his brain.
However, at the last moment when the Identification Bug was removed, a string of golden numbers suddenly rushed out from it... It was a string of coordinates, pointing to the Source Star!
At the beginning, La was trapped in the giant sun tree and couldn't escape. He had no choice but to spread out countless such coordinates. These coordinates had been reinforced by La and would not be easily digested by insects or beasts.
Later, a string of coordinates was eaten by the Identification Bug and entered Zhao Yang's brain. Then, after encountering Yu Cang's complete rhythmic body, it was inspired and briefly teleported his rhythmic body to the vicinity of the Source Star.
At the beginning, the trapped La had little ability to cast spells. The reason he chose this way to ask for help was because... this string of numbers was special.
In the star realm, as long as the coordinates of the source star are written down, even with the most ordinary ink, paper and pen, a teleportation force can be generated when the conditions are met.
La guessed that this string of numbers must have been blessed by some existence or power a long time ago, which is why it has such a miraculous effect.
Because he had little contact with it, La did not fully understand the activation mechanism of this string of numbers. He only knew that... because of this reason, there were many time travelers in Yuanxing. They came from various civilizations in the star realm, and each of them seemed to be a son of destiny.
However, the material and resources of Yuanxing are also quite abundant, which can support the growth of these sons of destiny.
However, no matter how powerful a planet is... in the end, it cannot escape the fate of being eroded by the wilderness.
And now…
"It was my mistake." La rubbed his brow. "It must be that St. George left this string of numbers in the Great Hall... That's why the entrance anchor point of [Momentary Gap] was teleported here."
It just leaves behind a string of numbers, which is not considered a spell at all, so it can be concealed from the Council of Arcane Law.
"I only discovered the Source Star after escaping from the Roland Sky Realm... I thought St. George wouldn't know about this place, but now it seems that he might have discovered it a long time ago."
Although every wizard is knowledgeable, the star realm is so vast that it is impossible for them to know everything.
At the beginning, when La was still studying with St. George, he had never heard St. George mention Yuanxing. In addition, he only found out about it later, so he subconsciously thought that St. George did not know about Yuanxing.
But it is obvious that St. George not only knew about the source star a long time ago, but also had very in-depth research on it. He knew the method to trigger the teleportation coordinates 100%!
I'm afraid that this was something he hid as a trump card in the beginning... The opportunity for ultra-long-distance teleportation without any casting conditions is indeed qualified to be regarded as a trump card.
Now, it is being used on them.
Upon hearing this, Yu Cang frowned slightly. He had already realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Can we go back?"
"It's difficult... Relying solely on Jieying, it would take me more than a month to prepare the 'Great Return to City Spell'. And in Yuanxing's current state, there are almost no spell materials and energy to utilize... With so much time passing, I'm afraid the battle between Di Changan and St. George would have ended long ago."
Yu Cang: "..."
It turned out to be a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Lead them away, and then Saint George defeats Di Chang'an with his prior preparations, and then does some unspeakable bad things to him. When Yu Cang returns to Roland Sky Realm, it will be a fait accompli. Di Chang'an has been defiled and cannot come back.
By then, even if Di Chang'an was still conscious, he probably wouldn't dare return to Blue Star... Who knew what St. George had done to him? Could he be the trigger for another creation?
One who transcends myth and whose power alone is enough to rebuild the Blue Planet!
St. George does not need to completely control Emperor Chang'an. He only needs to add some "leverage" to his power to cleverly achieve his goal.
“…What should we do then?”
“…”
La fell silent.
After a long moment, he finally said, "...There is a way."
"What?"
"I need a staff." La took a deep breath, "But the materials..."
"Where should I look for it?"
"There's only one place near the Source Star that has the materials for the staff—" La said solemnly, "The Sun Tree!"
The main material used for the wizard's staff is the body of the beast.
Near the source star, anything could be possible, except for this consciousness beast, which is absolutely impossible.
After all, this is a rare place where even the Starry Sky Vision has been infected by the wilderness!
It can be said that there is no grass growing.
There is only the giant sun tree - when Yu Cang destroyed the giant sun tree, he saved most of the beasts in it. Now, perhaps there are still some remaining limbs and broken arms.
If he went to look for it, maybe he would have a chance to piece together a staff.
But... it's a bit dangerous.
It has been less than a year since the source star's sun was completely extinguished. On the scale of the universe, this time is very short, not enough for the corpse of a star to dissipate all the heat. Not everyone can get close to that place.
But, this is the only solution for now...
"Wait." Yu Cang suddenly said, "La, there's something wrong with you."
“…What’s wrong?”
Yu Cang didn't say anything, just stared into La's eyes.
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
La Pingjing nodded. "I studied the contaminated beasts when I was on the Sun Tree. Their bodies can't be used as the main material for the staff, they can only be used as auxiliary materials. So I plan to use myself as the main material."
The rhythmic body is essentially very similar to the body of the beast. The rhythmic body of a mage, especially a mage like La, is also an excellent material for making a staff.
Plus this body... Ra had also added a lot of precious materials to it back then. As long as he could complete the re-training before it collapsed, it could be used to craft the staff.
Hearing this, Yu Cang frowned: "Are you crazy?"
What's the difference between this and making a banned card!
"That's all." La just said.
In fact, to be honest, this is not the only way.
There is another way - that is to make the shadow of the world into a magic wand.
But La knew in his heart what Jieying meant to Yu Cang. He was a comrade-in-arms, not an object.
Therefore, La would not throw this cruel choice to Yu Cang.
And the most important point is that La believes that the current situation is caused by him, so he must take full responsibility. How can he let Jieying pay the price on his behalf?
So, since he is capable of self-sacrifice, self-sacrifice is the only right path.
Looking at La's calm expression, Yu Cang seemed to guess what he was thinking.
"Stop." Yu Cang said decisively, "I know what you're thinking—I won't agree to make Jieying into a staff, but will I agree to your self-sacrifice?"
“This is what I should do.”
"What about me?" Yu Cang stared at La. "I'm primarily responsible for this matter. If I had agreed to let you make those beasts from Blue Star into staffs and bring them here, this situation wouldn't have happened."
Yu Cang rescued more than a hundred sentient beasts from the giant sun tree at one time. After rescuing them, he distributed them to various laboratories and universities in Yan Country.
He knew in his heart that both Stardust and La had more thorough ways of utilizing animal recognition, which would definitely be more efficient than the current one.
However, Yu Cang could not treat the equally intelligent beasts as consumables, so he just chose the current path.
As someone in a high position, this is actually considered indecisive.
But Yu Cang insisted on doing so.
Yu Cang stared at La intently: "According to your thinking, should I be the one to sacrifice myself now?"
"...Of course not."
"So, put those thoughts away—now, listen to me."
When saying this, Yu Cang's expression was firm and unquestionable. Under Yu Cang's gaze, even La couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The young man in front of me now has the qualities of a true king.
"you……"
"Any other questions?"
"...No more." He lowered his head, his eyes drooping slightly. "But...we don't have much time. If you haven't figured out a solution before my body completely collapses, then...I, I, will bear the responsibility for this mistake on your behalf. Yu Cang, you can't disregard your own civilization for the sake of a personal relationship with me."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Yu Cang patted La's arm, "We will go back together."
“…”
"Okay, now, take me somewhere."
"Where?"
"You mentioned before, the 'relic' from the last era."
"...There?" La raised his eyebrows slightly.
Once, he concluded that the ruins would contain chips to fight against Huang.
He studied the ruins for a long time, until one day... the key to the ruins was eaten by two knowledge bugs.
The two insects were named "Kong" and "Xu".
"...Okay, I'll take you there."
