Watching Shen Qian and his clone disappear into the black hole leading to the Heavenly Realm, Lao Jun pulled out a whisk from somewhere and gently waved it. The shattered black hole began to close at an astonishing speed.
Soon, as the last ray of light refracted from the celestial realm disappeared, the cave connecting the two places also vanished completely.
This space, seemingly deep within the universe, is nothing but profound darkness, and stars that twinkle with light, some near and some far.
Lao Jun stood alone in front of the thatched hut, glanced around, and a barely perceptible trace of lingering affection suddenly appeared on his face.
"After so much peace and quiet, I'm actually a little reluctant to leave..."
Laozi muttered to himself, then chuckled, "Is this what the mundane emotions of mortals are like?"
As he spoke, Lao Jun squatted down and picked up the scattered vegetable leaves one by one.
At that moment, the surrounding starry sky suddenly trembled.
Rumble!
At first, it was just a slight tremor, but later it gradually evolved into a violent tremor as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart.
The massive planet closest to this floating mud has cracks stretching for thousands of miles on its surface, volcanic eruptions, and seawater overflowing, resembling the end of the world.
The same scene is happening everywhere under this starry sky.
From the deepest darkness, a halo of light, as dark as ink, was spreading outwards. With each layer the halo advanced, the space collapsed inch by inch.
From behind those shattered spaces, a massive shadow slowly emerged.
The shadows were so dark they blotted out the sun, covering every corner of the field of vision, as if even the vast universe could not contain their size.
Laozi, however, was completely unaware.
He simply swept the ground calmly and then gently closed the door of the thatched hut.
After doing all this, Laozi slowly turned around and stared at the dark shadows surging in like a tsunami.
At this moment, there was no intact part of the starry sky in front of him. Countless fragments of collapsed stars drifted, or rather, were driven by the shadows, rushing towards him.
Lao Jun leaped into the air and stood in front of a drifting meteorite.
In the vast universe, amidst the enormous shadow, Laozi appeared so small, yet in the endless darkness, his white robes stood out so conspicuously.
"Taiqing... I've found you."
The universe trembled, and a cold voice with a slightly strange tone rang out.
"Unfortunately, you were a step too late."
Lao Tzu smiled slightly.
The voice trailed off at first, then, as if sensing something, a hint of curiosity mingled with its cold tone: "What did you do?"
"It was just... planting a seed."
Lao Tzu laughed.
"Seeds?" the voice asked.
"A seed that can overturn you," Lao Tzu said meaningfully.
This time, the voice had been silent for a long time, and when it suddenly rang out, it carried a hint of anger.
"How dare you steal time and space, and forge your own path?"
"Hahahaha... Otherwise, what do you think I've been hiding from for so long?"
For the first time, Laozi, who had maintained a calm demeanor, let out a hearty laugh.
"So it turns out that not only Yuqing and Shangqing, but you are also helping him."
The voice said coldly, "Overestimating yourself!"
"Yeah?"
Laozi stroked his beard and smiled, then suddenly said, "There's something else you might not know. I... have actually been waiting for you for a long time."
As Laozi finished speaking, the whisk in his hand suddenly shattered, and at the same time, a huge yin-yang fish slowly emerged from the starry sky behind him.
With the appearance of the yin-yang symbol, time and space seemed to freeze, and the encroaching shadows began to recede.
"go!"
Laozi's hair and beard bristled, and he suddenly let out a loud shout, accompanied by pointing his finger.
The yin-yang fish, whose length and width were unknown, suddenly transformed into a black and white giant sword with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters, and thrust straight towards the deepest part of the shadows.
boom!
The void trembled, the universe collapsed, and the explosive darkness completely swallowed the figure of Laozi.
When everything calmed down, the universe before them had been completely reduced to ruins of time and space. The shadows receded, and the figure of Laozi had also disappeared.
After an unknown amount of time, a dark shadow suddenly flickered within a spatial rift.
"who is he?"
"Since you are omnipotent, why do you need to..."
Laozi's faint laughter followed, but the sound quickly stopped, as if it had been abruptly cut off.
Shadows spread across the endless ruins like flowing water, as if searching for something, but ultimately found nothing.
Soon, the shadows dissipated, and the tattered starry sky fell into utter desolation.
Only a tattered whisk drifted out from somewhere and gradually disappeared into the depths of darkness.
...
Within the Heavenly Realm.
Shen Qian, who had been forcibly sent out by Lao Jun, looked back at the rapidly closing passage with a sense of helplessness.
He still had countless questions he wanted to discuss with Laozi, after all, the other party was probably the oldest person he had ever met, and must know countless secrets.
Unfortunately, Laozi did not give him that opportunity.
Let's go.
Shen Qian and his clone exchanged a glance before rushing toward the core area of the Heavenly Realm.
After walking for a while, Shen Qian decided to let his clone carry him forward.
Because he discovered... he wasn't as fast as someone who could split himself in two!
Yes, the clone after acquiring Star Power can only be described as a complete transformation.
