Indeed, the figure appearing at the far end of the long bridge was none other than Hong Lin!
The Honglin at this moment was clearly different from the one Cheng Shi knew. Although she was still dressed in animal skins, she was radiating a seven-colored glow all over her body. Her flowing long hair was like a crown of prosperity and a waterfall of life, trailing on the long bridge like a long skirt of vitality.
Honglin on the bridge also turned around to look, but when she saw that the person coming was Cheng Shi, she was first stunned, and then her face slowly darkened.
She brandished her spear, pointing it at Cheng Shi, and said in a deep voice:
You shouldn't have seen me.
Cheng Shi's breath hitched, and he remained silent.
The pressure from the other party was too strong, even stronger than any god he had ever seen. But what prevented Cheng Shi from speaking was not Hong Lin's aura, but the meaning behind Hong Lin's words.
He certainly shouldn't be here, but he never expected to see a big cat here!
Because the destination he envisioned was none other than the location where the [War] was launching its attack on [Yuan Chu]!
He knew that among the billions of fragmented universes, there were always those who no longer had any scruples and wanted to "see" [the Primordial One], but he thought he would encounter another version of himself, who knew...
What are you doing here?
Cheng Shi asked a question that didn't require an answer; it wasn't a rhetorical question, but rather an instinctive expression of concern.
Judging from the big cat's posture, if he had arrived a little later, that vibrant figure might have rushed up to [Yuan Chu]!
She must have been waiting for a "comrade-in-arms", but she never expected to be met by Cheng Shi.
Seeing that Cheng Shi in front of her did not have the same fighting spirit as her, Hong Lin smiled with relief, which meant that the world had not fallen to this state.
She turned her head and looked up at the sky, without answering.
Cheng Shi frowned slightly, wanting to get closer, but before he could take a step, Hong Lin raised his spear again, pointing it at him once more.
"Stop, don't come any closer, don't come near me."
"!!!"
Cheng Shi's pupils contracted as he looked at the unprecedented divine light surrounding Hong Lin, as if he had realized something.
"This is......!?"
"Where are you going?" Honglin interrupted Cheng Shi and asked in a deep voice.
"The Corpse Field of the Gods, I need to go there to find some... materials."
Honglin frowned; it was obvious she knew that place. "It's not safe there. Where's your friend? Why didn't she come with us?"
Cheng Shi knew, of course, that Hong Lin was referring to Hong Lin in his own world, but he couldn't bring so many people this time. He had escaped from under Le Zishen's nose under the protection of [Time]. Once he notified his companions, this adventure might not go so smoothly.
Fortunately, he wasn't without companions outside the world.
"The fraud plan has reached its most critical stage. She's being watched, and I can't go to her."
But don't worry, I'm not going on this adventure alone; Old Zhang is out there too.
When Honglin heard Cheng Shi mention Zhang Jizu, she nodded silently, clearly thinking the tomb keeper was reliable.
Where is he?
"..." Cheng Shi paused, touched his nose, and said helplessly, "I haven't found him yet, which is why I came here."
I just didn't expect to see you here.
Honglin, you..."
Cheng Shi's tone became extremely complicated, "I know you have your reasons for insisting on going. I won't try to persuade you, and I can't persuade you otherwise, but I would like to ask you for a favor."
Help me anchor in a world, so I can bring Lao Zhang back.
The gravediggers of that world inherited the authority of death—no, they all inherited that authority. Perhaps they have a way to help you solve your current problem?
Hearing Cheng Shi's words, Hong Lin smiled.
"Cheng Shi, you said you wouldn't try to persuade me."
Now that you've guessed what kind of divine power I possess, you should naturally know that divine authority is of no use to me.
I have my mission, and that is my path.
Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. I need your help with something too.
I had intended to wait for a comrade-in-arms, but that comrade-in-arms I have never met has not arrived yet. In that case, let us make one last deal, Fate Weaver.
"I'll help you find the gravedigger, and you take me where I want to go."
"......"
Cheng Shi didn't want to make this exchange; he knew it meant that the big cat in front of him would lie down in the starry sky where the [war] had disappeared.
But he couldn't refuse, because the big cat said it was a mission.
What a heavy word. What exactly happened in their world that made Hong Lin do this kind of task?
Is sending someone to their death considered a mission?
Time was running out, and there was no time for Cheng Shi to struggle with his thoughts. Perhaps he had figured something out, for his eyes became more resolute and his expression more composed.
He nodded: "Okay, let's begin."
Cheng Shi had never been to the world that Zhang Jizu had gone to. He could only describe the anchor as the [dead] Zhang Jizu and Old Zhang himself that he had seen, using their existence as anchor points to anchor that world, and then share the "coordinates" with Big Cat.
The two looked at each other from a distance and began to imagine the destination where both Zhang Jizu existed at the same time.
But after a few breaths, Hong Lin's expression changed slightly on the bridge.
She seemed to sense the subtle changes under the bridge, and soon shook her head at Cheng Shi: "Sorry, the place you anchored to no longer exists."
"!!??"
At that moment, Cheng Shi's mind went blank.
"What did you say?"
Hong Lin looked reluctant and sighed, "Either the anchor has disappeared, or that world has disappeared, but I think neither... is the result you want."
