On the day the pillar of heaven collapsed, all living things in the world saw that the azure sky was quickly stained blood red by a splash of red.
Screams and wails filled the air.
The entire sky seemed to have been dyed red, and all living things scattered in all directions, not knowing where to escape to.
"Sheng Ning is still not awake?"
Inside the Invincible Sect, Yan Qingqing directly pushed open the door to Sheng Ning's courtyard.
Seeing Su Daiyuan and the others standing in the courtyard, all with calm expressions, he couldn't help but frown.
Beside them, Pigworm and Xuanwu turned around upon hearing the sound.
“My mother said she is still trying to find a way to get out of that predicament.”
It's been too long.
Sheng Ning remained unconscious for seven days, but showed no signs of waking up.
Yan Qingqing and the others were also encountering the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar for the first time, and they discussed it for seven days without coming to a conclusion.
Even Qin Chuan, who knew that they had actually been living in a storybook all along, didn't know what to do.
The storybook doesn't mention the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar; instead, it focuses on how Shi Yueyao used the situation to enhance her cultivation and ultimately achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
During this time, as everyone waited for the pillar to collapse, their tempers became increasingly volatile.
Upon hearing that Sheng Ning was still asleep, Yan Qingqing turned and walked directly into Sheng Ning's room.
In the room, Sheng Ning, pale-faced, lay motionless on the bed, her chest not even rising or falling.
If it weren't for the fact that the pig-worm and Xuanwu who had made a contract with her were still alive, they would have learned from the pig-worm that Sheng Ning was doing well.
Right now, not only the common people, but even they themselves are probably as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Yan Qingqing stood by the bed, looking at the familiar face before her. She bent down and pinched the other person's cheek.
"If you still haven't woken up by now, it doesn't fit your personality of always wanting to be a hero and save the world."
“Sheng Ning, the Heavenly Pillar has begun to collapse. The Heavenly Pillar has manifested, and things that were previously invisible to the world have fallen to the lower realm.”
"The people you so devotedly protected ten thousand years ago are about to die a violent death once again."
"You should wake up and save them one more time."
"But your senior brother is right. You've only just been reincarnated, yet you're already burdened with so much. It's fortunate that you have such a strong will; if it were me, I would have given up long ago."
"If you're tired and don't want to wake up, that's okay. Last time you protected us, this time it's our turn to protect you, alright?"
Before Yan Qingqing could withdraw her fingers from Sheng Ning's cheek...
She then heard a call coming from outside.
"Mother, are you here?!"
Upon hearing the call, Yan Qingqing clicked her tongue softly. "You were right back then. I should have traveled the world with you, sword in hand, and become the envy of the world as sisters."
"Now I have a burden on me, and wherever I go, it's always 'Empress,' it's so annoying!"
When Qi Wenyao entered the house, all he heard was his mother's complaints.
His movements faltered, and his eye twitched slightly. "It's not me looking for you, it's my father."
Yan Qingqing immediately looked up and rolled her eyes at him, "You two are both a burden."
Qi Wenyao: "...The thing that fell from the Heavenly Pillar landed on the edge of Youyun City. Father sent me to find you."
Qi Wenyao had no way to express his suffering.
Since Sheng Ning fell into a coma, his mother's temper has become visibly irritable.
He was so frightened that he couldn't even hide from his mother, so why would he risk his life to get close to her?
It's all his father's fault; he used him as a shield.
If it weren't for the fact that the rock that landed on the edge of Youyun City was too big, and that rocks were constantly falling from the Heavenly Pillar, he wouldn't have come here to suffer.
Yan Qingqing was even angrier when she saw her son shrinking his neck and looking cowardly.
She left the bedside, went to her son's side, and pinched his cheek.
"Can't you straighten your back? The collapse of the pillar of heaven is not child's play. You always look like a coward. You might as well go home and go drink milk from your wet nurse!"
After saying that, she let out a long sigh and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
Qi Wenyao followed behind her, and seeing his mother's disappointed look on his face, he couldn't help but feel wronged.
"Mother, wait for me!"
Despite feeling wronged, his father was still waiting for his mother to come over by the pillar.
Qi Wenyao ran out of the room. Before leaving, he glanced at Su Daiyuan and the others standing in the courtyard. He only glanced at them once before quickly looking away and following his mother.
Lu Jingshen looked up at the sky, which was now so red it looked like it could drip blood, and then looked away. He said, "Senior Brother, we should go together too."
Su Daiyuan and his two companions had already changed into their tight-fitting clothes and were just waiting for this day to arrive.
The Heavenly Pillar has materialized, its mottled surface appearing as if it might break at any moment.
Over the past seven days, they have gathered all the monks they could.
The remaining cultivators who couldn't come have also sent messages, urging sects in the four directions (east, west, south, and north) to pay close attention to the recent changes in the sky.
Now that everyone has headed towards the Heavenly Pillar near Youyun City, they can no longer stay here and must also go and help.
As for the junior sister...
Su Daiyuan's gaze fell on the slender figure lying in the house not far away.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he said in a hoarse voice, "Yu Ye, go and set up an array for Junior Sister to prevent any accidents from happening to her."
The Invincible Sect isn't far from Youyun City. What if the items on the Heavenly Pillar fall into the Invincible Sect, and there happens to be no one to protect Junior Sister...?
"Good boy and Senior Xuanwu will accompany us to Youyun City."
The reluctance in his eyes was gradually replaced by calmness.
After making the final preparations, Su Daiyuan turned and left with his two junior brothers.
The cracks on the pillar are beyond serious.
The cylinder, which originally required hundreds of people to barely encircle, is now riddled with cracks, from which light continuously pours out.
The cultivators near the Heavenly Pillar could clearly feel that the spiritual energy around them had become much denser.
At first, they were even thinking that the cracks in the Heavenly Pillar were not a bad thing.
After all, the spiritual energy on the continent is gradually depleting, and there are not many cultivators who can now reach the advanced level. Everyone is complaining bitterly.
Now, spiritual energy is continuously pouring out from the Heavenly Pillar. After everyone greedily absorbed this spiritual energy, they finally realized that something was wrong.
Why is the light pouring from this pillar of heaven becoming increasingly dim?
"Could it be that the pillar of heaven will collapse after the spiritual energy leaks out?"
Someone in the crowd said something like that.
Immediately, the cultivators who were still absorbing the spiritual energy in the air raised their heads and looked at the celestial pillar in front of them.
As the man said, the light pouring out from the crack in the pillar was much dimmer than before.
They had only stood there for two hours when the red color on the horizon became even more intense.
More and more stones are falling from the Heavenly Pillar...
