Chapter 447 Bloom
The truth finally came to light.
In the curtained space filled with gorgeous crystal colors, Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He noticed that the crystal-textured "curtains" around him had become much dimmer than before, and a discordant "noise" could be heard faintly all around.
Yun Qingzi seemed not to care about these changes. He still just stood there with a slight smile on his face, looking extremely relaxed - it was a feeling of relaxation as if a thousand-year burden had finally been lifted. Apart from that burden, everything in the world was meaningless to him, so much so that every minute and every second, every breath now was just comfort to him.
Yu Sheng then asked one final question about the other party’s plan: “What happens if it fails?”
Yun Qingzi didn't say anything for a moment.
"You led the Derivative Star Body to Taixu Lingshu, hoping to use the 'abnormality' of this planet to kill Him, but have you ever considered that the Dark Angel has extremely strong vitality - He may not die immediately, and this process may even last for years, then..."
Yun Qingzi nodded gently: "Many people will die."
Yu Sheng: “…”
"I have said before that this method is very reckless and has the possibility of failure. But I had no other way to go at the time. In comparison, this is at least the only feasible way - and no matter what, as long as the Derivative Star Body takes root in Taixu Lingshu, He will never have the chance to leave here. The energy required for reorganization and ascension is astonishing, and He cannot get any supplies on this planet. As long as Taixu Lingshu can survive for some time, there will be one less disaster in this world forever. As for the price..."
Yun Qingzi paused when he said this, and suddenly grinned.
"I have been integrated with the Star Body for many years. Although many things were not my own will, I have already committed many evil deeds. After the Falling Star, I will be infamous for thousands of years, so this little sin of destroying lives is not a big deal."
Seeing the old man's reaction, Yu Sheng was a little surprised, but he soon came to his senses, and then shook his head with a complex emotion that he couldn't explain: "That's right, you still want to save my life."
Yun Qingzi's expression froze for a moment, and he bowed to Sheng with a complicated look: "To be honest, you really scared me at that time. Besides, I do owe you..."
"Let's not talk about whether I owe you or not," Yu Sheng waved his hand to interrupt him, "After all, you were fused with the Derivative Star Body at the time, and most of your thoughts were influenced by that 'Dark Angel'. The specific responsibilities are unclear - and my life is not worth anything."
Yun Qingzi listened to Yu Sheng's words in a daze, his facial expression changing several times. All his emotions and confusion finally turned into a sigh of relief.
His figure flickered a few times between the crystal curtains, and became slightly dimmer along with the surrounding environment.
"There are indeed too many things in this world that we cannot understand. The pursuit of truth is endless. What a pity..." The old man sighed, but then smiled and shook his head, "Well, at least now I don't have to take that risky move - Daoist friend, the disaster of the star body has been resolved in your hands."
Yu Sheng looked solemn: "Your condition..."
"What other state can this old man be in?" Yun Qingzi still smiled, "The Star-Evolving Body is truly 'dead' this time - I have long been a part of this wandering race, and will naturally follow Him now. In fact, this moment should have come when I left Shuji, but this old man was thinking..."
He slowly stopped, turned around, and looked at the vast space outside through the hazy veil, and the distant and shining Taixu Lingshu behind layers of defense.
"Thinking about coming back to take a look."
The old man's figure became dimmer, and then every part of his body began to flicker slightly as if the signal was bad.
It was not until this time that Yu Sheng suddenly noticed that it was not a complete "figure" at all.
The Yun Qingzi in front of him was actually just an image formed by the overlapping projection of a large amount of phantom light refracted at various angles by countless crystal "curtains" around him - Yun Qingzi, who was teleported all the way here from Shuji, could no longer even maintain a spiritual body.
Yu Sheng stretched out his hand, but before he could speak, Yun Qingzi, with his back to him, had already taken a step towards the vast space.
After one step, the old man's figure disappeared in a rippling crystal curtain.
The next second, the entire space began to shake violently, and the crystalline curtain that filled his vision instantly fell into chaotic flickering. Then all the flickering light and shadows quickly collapsed. Yu Sheng felt that he was "pushed" out by an irresistible force, and at the moment when his vision was quickly peeled off from this strange space, he felt as if he had passed through a chaotic light and shadow crack -
The mother star glittering in the sun, the crystal vines and leaves bathed in the sun, as magnificent as mountains, the lush garden, the noisy little creatures, the interesting things, thinking, cognition, observation, discovery, those creations, the stars falling from the sky, the seeds, the darkness...
The last memories of the derivative star body swept through the cracks in light and shadow like gushing bubbles, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into countless faded fragments at the end of time. Yu Sheng fell into reality from the cracks and opened his eyes in the darkness.
The wreckage of the fortress torpedo was stuck between the cold crystal branches, and faint flames were jumping in the torn body. The crooked crystalline matter was twisted and entangled. Between the crystal tentacles, the stars were cold and the deep space was dark.
Yu Sheng lowered his head and saw that his body was covered with scars and pierced by a sharp crystal branch. His blood soaked the crystal branch and dissipated into space, turning into tiny ice crystals that floated around him.
Those gray-black crystal tentacles were silently disintegrating in the vacuum. There was no sound in space, but Yu Sheng seemed to be able to hear the sound of the seed being torn apart bit by bit.
He slowly closed his eyes in the darkness, listening to the tiny tearing sound, the faint fragmented noises coming from the core of the astral body, feeling the passing of another life, and the feeling of his blood gradually turning cold.
After an unknown amount of time, he sighed softly in his heart.
The next second, his body turned into ashes on its own initiative. Under the guidance of his consciousness, countless pieces of ashes floated towards the depths of the wreckage of the star body, and then swept into the gray-black crystals.
In the vast space, there was a glimmer of light.
At the Taixu Lingshu defense node, an alarm suddenly sounded on the large immortal ship "Tai'a". The monk in charge of monitoring the movements of the "Dark Angel" shouted a warning: "Report - the temperature inside the 'Derivative Star Body' has risen! There are signs of activation!"
Alarms suddenly sounded everywhere, and everyone's nerves were instantly tense. The monks hurried to their battle posts, but Yuan Ling Zhenren, who was standing in front of the star table, just raised his head without saying a word, and quietly looked at the black shadow in the space.
As he watched, a patch of pure white light suddenly blossomed from the gray-black crystalline "vine".
Then, in an instant, the phantom-like whiteness suddenly expanded - magnificent crystal vines grew wildly from seeds, and plant structures larger than mountains spread wantonly in space. Within a few breaths, it turned into a cluster of dazzling crystals like a new star, and then within a few more breaths, countless crystalline leaves and huge flowers that could almost be described as "magnificent" blossomed on the crystal cluster!
More majestic than the mountains, more vast than the ocean, the crystal flowers bloomed wantonly in the dark and cold space. The brilliant sunlight of a foreign land splashed on the white and dazzling sea of flowers and leaves, as if a bright and fierce flame was lit in the space. The glittering light reflected by the crystals even illuminated the night part of Taixu Lingshu, making the pure white light flow and spread on the boundary between dawn and dusk.
Then, within a few more breaths, the star-like sea of crystalline flowers suddenly lost all its luster and shattered silently in space like a popped soap bubble.
The crystal cluster turned into countless fragments of different sizes, and the fragments turned into phantom dust without weight and substance in the blink of an eye. The tiny crystalline fragments evaporated instantly in the sunlight. Everything happened so quickly that it seemed like a dream in the early morning that one did not have time to record.
Several immortal ships activated their artillery under stress, and several balls of blazing light cut through the darkness, but they only had time to pass through the scattered light dust. Before the weapon systems of other immortal ships could react, the "new star" that bloomed violently and withered in an instant had disappeared in the orbit of Taixu Lingshu.
Even the gray-black "ascending body" debris at its core was completely turned into ashes in this violent explosion.
The monks on the immortal boat looked at the scene in space in astonishment. They looked at each other blankly, and discussed the current situation in a low voice with nervousness and anxiety. Some of them hurried to the star disk platform of the "Tai'a" and asked the leader and deputy leader how to deal with it next. Another monk came forward to report that it was completely impossible to track the signals of the derived star body - even the gravitational reaction that material entities should have had disappeared.
Yuan Ling and Yuan Hao Zhenren seemed to be deaf to the sounds around them. They just waved to the uneasy disciples of the sect, and then their eyes fell on the Lingxi platform not far away at the same time.
The triangular emblem of "Alien Hotel" was floating in the phantom projection above the Lingxi Platform, but there was only silence in the communication channel.
After an unknown amount of time, just when Xuan Che's expression began to feel uneasy, the triangular emblem suddenly trembled, and then Yu Sheng's calm voice came from the communication channel -
"Angel has fallen."
After a brief silence and delay, cheers suddenly broke out!
Even Master Yuan Ling, who had a tense face, instantly relaxed his expression. Amid the cheers of the disciples around him, he took a long breath, then raised his head and looked outside the misty shield.
The mother star hangs high in the sky.
"Notice to the whole area, the angel has fallen!"
