Chapter 126 The Finale
The moment the entire formation was activated, Zhou Jiu quickly retreated to the surrounding area before anyone noticed her.
After running a long way, Zhou Jiu stopped.
She quickly glanced at Zhou Yu, who was chasing after her, and then swiftly boarded her mecha.
"Don't you want to know about your origins? Stay here, and I'll tell you."
It was Zhou Yu's voice. Zhou Jiu smiled slightly and said through the mecha's external communicator, "It doesn't matter anymore, it's no longer important."
The people who lived in her memory have long since disappeared, so what's the use of knowing or not knowing?
"Xuan Nu, let's go!" Zhou Jiu happily typed on the keyboard, his crimson-gold mecha leaping across the boundless wilderness, like a flame rushing into the distance.
He vaguely heard Zhou Yu shouting something behind him, but Zhou Jiu didn't stop to listen anymore.
The mechs were long gone, and the energy creatures on the ancient planet Blue Star gradually disappeared in the vortex.
"Are we just going to let the demon return directly to the demon realm like this?" Zhou Yu asked softly, looking at the spacetime vortex in the sky after Zhou Jiu left.
Zhou Zhi's figure appeared. "The boundary has opened, which is ultimately a good thing. We accidentally trapped the demon and closed the Soul Realm, preventing us from reincarnating and reducing the number of people who can cultivate. The people of the outer realms are becoming stronger and stronger. We can't just shut ourselves in and wait to die."
“Even if we open up Blue Star, outsiders will still come in, and sooner or later they will invade our culture.” Zhou Yu frowned.
"But those Blue Star people who were exiled to the outer realms, if we hadn't trapped the demons for our cultivation, they shouldn't have left. This is already very good."
“If they were doing well, that would be fine, but now they're not. Let's go, we should take them home.”
Not all energy beings are willing to enter the vortex to go home. Just like people, everything can change. Zhou Jiu ran extremely fast, moving quickly between the energy beings who were about to devour their food.
His vital energy was rapidly depleting, and the mecha's energy warning was also alerting Zhou Jiu.
"Jiu Jiu, alright, alright, let's get out of here quickly, you can't keep going like this."
“I have to drive them away, let them know that there are still powerful opponents if they stay here, so they might as well go back.” Zhou Jiu’s voice was very soft.
"You will die."
"I'm not that stupid. I won't give my life for anything again, silly Qiqi."
"But I can feel your life force weakening, stop hitting me."
While helping Zhou Jiu, Qi Qi urged him to hurry up.
Zhou Jiu continued walking quickly, occasionally striking out and then scooping people out of the energy creatures' mouths.
Another mech landed in the cabin of a flight deck that flew in from the sky. Zhou Jiu recognized the mech team, quickly put away the mech, and swiftly pulled Qi Qi away to run to another place.
"Strange, I clearly saw a mecha just now."
"You must be seeing things."
Zhou Jiuxin, who had walked a distance away, jumped up and down and rushed to the cave of the energy creature she had visited before, where she slowly sat down.
"I'm alright, Jiu Jiu."
Zhou Jiu gently waved her hand to indicate that she was alright. She sat quietly to rest, using the breathing techniques she had learned during this time to regulate her breathing.
"Jiujiu, something is approaching." Zhou Jiu had just opened her eyes when she saw the shattered copper coins blocking her way, falling in all directions.
"Qiqi." Zhou Jiu's eyes suddenly reddened.
Zhou Jiu's blood and qi surged upwards, causing him to spit out half a mouthful of blood. He was unable to muster any Xuan power and was lifted into the air.
Zhou Jiu gripped the mecha's buttons, preparing to seize the opportunity to enter the mecha's cabin.
"It was you who opened the passage, human."
Zhou Jiu recognized the energy creature in front of her as the one who had once let her off the hook, but she still couldn't forgive it.
"Yes, it's me. Are you going to kill me?"
Zhou Jiu stared at the creature in front of him without blinking.
"There's no need to be so wary of me. Your spirit has entered the thing in your palm. So, before I leave, I'd like to have a word with you."
Zhou Jiu's eyes flickered slightly, but he still stared at the other person cautiously.
Seeing that Zhou Jiu didn't believe him, the other party threw Zhou Jiu down.
Zhou Jiu took this opportunity to enter the mech cabin.
“Jiu Jiu, you can’t beat him, he’s very strong. He broke the copper coin with just a light touch.” Qi Qi looked at Zhou Jiu, whose eyes were red with guilt, and then pretended to be tough as she said, “I’m afraid to go out, and besides, I’ve already died once. If it weren’t for the good material of this mecha, I would really be dead.”
Zhou Jiu opened the external communication interface. "What do you want to tell me?"
"Do you want to know who your parents are?"
Zhou Jiu was amused. Today was truly a good day. The matter here was resolved, and now people were starting to urge her to tell them about her background.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. It just means that her background is something they can use her for. Otherwise, why would she only tell them now when she wants to know?
"I don't really want to know. You should take your babies home."
"And what about you?" the energy being asked, its tone remaining calm.
Zhou Jiu's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly calmed down. "This is my home."
"Good luck, you human-raised brat."
Zhou Jiu leaned back in the mech cockpit seat, resting with his eyes half-closed.
"Jiujiu, what did he mean?"
"Who knows, whatever."
"Jiu Jiu, your communicator is ringing."
"I know."
"Aren't you going to answer?"
"Who cares?" Zhou Jiu said, his eyes still closed.
Sun You's name remained lit on the communicator for a long time before going out.
Zhou Jiu came out of the mecha cabin and hung the mecha button back around his neck.
As Zhou Jiu looked at the cave, she remembered why she felt it was familiar the first time she saw it.
This is the place where she met Chu Zhao in her dream, and it was the first time she felt so at ease, which is why she took advantage of the mission to get so close to him.
But isn't this just Ms. Liu Ci's memory of being hypnotized?
Could it really be a precognitive dream?
Will he get hurt?
As Zhou Jiu was thinking this, he looked up and saw Chu Zhao coming in, clutching his wound.
For some reason, Zhou Jiu suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She silently walked over, without saying a word, and helped Chu Zhao up, leading him inside to hide.
Chu Zhao didn't say anything, but leaned against Zhou Jiu and followed him away.
Continuing into the cave, past the cliff on the other side, Zhou Jiu sat down, brought out firewood, and lit a fire.
Chu Zhao began to treat the wound, and the two of them, without disturbing each other, felt exceptionally warm and cozy.
Zhou Jiu propped his head up and quietly looked at Chu Zhao, without asking why he was the only one left.
He just looked at it, a smile spreading across his eyes.
"It's too much of you to just watch me get bandaged like that." Chu Zhao looked up at Zhou Jiu, who was only smiling at him, and he smiled back.
"I thought you'd just stay silent like this forever." Zhou Jiu came over and helped wrap the gauze properly.
"Not as good as you, you heartless man." Chu Zhao smiled and gently rested her head on Zhou Jiu's shoulder.
The two leaned against each other and slept for about three hours. Zhou Jiu opened his eyes and saw that Chu Zhao had also opened his eyes. The two smiled at each other.
"I'm leaving now," Chu Zhao said gently, stroking Zhou Jiu's hair.
Zhou Jiu replied, "I know."
"Where should I look for you after everything is over?" Chu Zhao took a few steps, then turned around and asked.
"The marriage certificate hasn't been deactivated. I'll come find you after everything is over."
Zhou Jiu stood up and made a gesture.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Seeing Chu Zhao leave, Zhou Jiu drew an array, sat cross-legged in the cave, and began to recover. From the other side of the cliff, Zhou Jiu looked at the ever-changing stars in the sky and gradually revealed a smile. She took out the communicator, crushed it directly with her Xuan power, and the powder gradually fell with the wind.
Following Zhou Zhi's example, Zhou Jiu slid down the cliff.
Facing the wind, Zhou Jiu felt all the burdens on her body gradually being blown away and scattered, and her steps became lighter and lighter.
It felt incredibly free in the wind.
From now on, she will only be Zhou Jiule, Zhou as in cycle and Jiu as in long and lasting.
