Chapter 687 Am I the culprit?
It wasn't until they reached the continent above hell that Bai Xi's condition improved slightly, but her expression changed drastically when she saw the huge crack in the sky.
Roy had no time to worry about anything else. Although he knew that something terrible might have happened, he continued to fly forward with Bai Xi until they encountered a familiar figure ahead. Roy's face unconsciously showed a look of surprise, because it was Little Ghost.
"Garn!!!!"
His voice quickly reached the little ghost's ears, and the little ghost turned its head to look at Bai Xi and Luo Yi. Its expression changed instantly, and it flew towards them.
"Don't come out!"
The little ghost shouted at them, looking anxious.
As Bai Xi changed locations, she discovered that the situation was truly dire. The entire continent was overrun with Tartarus's minions, and monsters were wreaking havoc on the land and in the cities, causing suffering to both humans and other races.
The sky and the horizon were all marked by the erosion of the abyss. She had only gone back to the past, but when she returned, everything had changed.
Bai Xi disregarded her discomfort and climbed off Luo Yi's back, grabbing the little ghost with a serious expression and asking in a stern tone.
"What happened?! I was only gone for a short time, how could it have turned out like this? I had just severely injured Tartarus before I left."
The little ghost was taken aback by her words, then his face lit up with ecstasy. He grabbed her hand and his eyes lit up as if he had found a savior.
"You're back?!"
He said in a hurried tone.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Bai Xi had a bad feeling, as if something was out of her control.
"There's no time to explain now. Come with me and we'll get out of here first. Only Santa Fe City hasn't been invaded by Tartarus's minions yet, so we must protect you first."
The little ghost didn't even glance at Roy, whom she cared about most, but instead gripped Bai Xi's shoulders with both hands and said solemnly.
"What?"
Bai Xi had no idea what was going on, but she still trusted the little ghost and followed it directly toward Santa Fe City.
Not long after they left, a large number of flying monsters and an intelligent humanoid monster had gathered at the spot where they had just stopped.
"It's her scent..."
The monster's tone was filled with pleasure, as if it had caught something important and delicious.
Following the trail left by Bai Xi, the monsters also headed towards the city of Santa Fe.
At that time, Bai Xi had already arrived above Santa Fe City. Everywhere he looked, there was smoke and fire. Only Santa Fe City, which was isolated by the defensive barrier, looked the same as before. However, the atmosphere in the city was obviously very tense, and it was clearly in a state of war preparation. The protective shield of the Temple of Light, which was never opened before, had already been opened, and there were even traces of divine oracle.
"What's going on...?"
Bai Xi frowned as she watched all this, and it wasn't until they entered Santa Fe City that the little ghost's tension eased, and this time she finally turned to look at Bai Xi.
"After you left with the power of the Demon King, we also left with you, but for some reason we had no memory of it and fell into a deep sleep. When we woke up again, we found that two years had passed outside, and the power of the abyss had suddenly become much stronger for some reason, and began to launch a fierce counterattack against the continent."
His tone carried an unprecedented maturity, as if he had experienced something terrible.
If Bai Xi had just woken up, she might have found it strange, but looking down at the current state of the entire continent of Coral from the sky, there was no doubt that the creatures were in a terrible state, even paying a greater price than during the previous abyss attack.
"When we woke up, we couldn't find you and Roy. We only found out what happened after you left by asking around. After the Seven Gods successfully attacked the Temple of Angels, the angels all left. Originally, this didn't seem like a big problem, but..."
"The order seems to have been affected as a result, the chaos began to expand, and the abyss also grew rapidly during this period. In just two years, it became uncontrollable, with more and more minions and the abyss rifts appearing more and more frequently."
As the little ghost spoke, his expression grew increasingly somber.
"Although they are trying their best to remedy the situation, it has still had a huge impact."
As he finished speaking, Bai Xi stood there almost stunned. They attacked the Temple of Angels for her sake, how could this happen... Why did it have such serious consequences?
Bai Xi didn't speak, but the little ghost kept chattering, as if it wanted to tell Bai Xi everything that had happened during this time.
"Right now, the Seven Gods are doing their utmost to resist the attacks of the monsters and the abyss rifts, but they are starting to feel the strain. The King has also been confined to his quarters for some reason, and Philomona has been imprisoned in the Elemental Source Realm. None of us have been able to return to the Elemental Source Realm yet."
"Because we promised to protect this continent, we have been helping the Seven Gods. Finally, today we have waited for your return. Hell is now the most severely affected. If we do not stop the spread of Tartarus, Hell will really disappear completely."
While the little ghost was still chatting with Bai Xi, suddenly five figures flew out of the Temple of Light. Upon closer inspection, Bai Xi recognized them as Duluso, Leia, and the others. They had lost their previous juvenile forms and had become more mature.
Bai Xi suddenly remembered that before she returned, a power surged into her body, which was the magic of the elemental spirits.
She was in such a bad state just now that she couldn't examine her internal condition, but now that she's closed her eyes and looked inward, she has indeed discovered a ball of light composed of several kinds of magic mixed together, which is floating inside her body.
However, none of this was as chaotic as Bai Xi's current state of mind, which was shrouded in a thick cloud of gloom.
She returned to the past to completely eliminate the abyss, and all living beings regarded her as their savior, but in the end... the source of the disaster turned out to be her.
Bai Xi looked bewildered and couldn't utter a single word for a moment.
Is it really because of her?
Because her angel temple was destroyed and order was disrupted, Tartarus expanded as a result, plunging the continent into such a state. So what was the purpose of all this?
"Gal, have you already told her? The Seven Gods are also on their way here."
Instead of speaking directly to Bai Xi, Duluso asked the little ghost.
"Yes, I've already said that."
Seeing Bai Xi's distraught expression, the little ghost also had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
This is only what they know so far, and they have told Bai Xi as much as they can. But it seems that the Seven Gods are hiding something from them. Now that Bai Xi is back, she should know the whole truth.
