Chapter 155 - The Past
The night in Guixu Sect became exceptionally long and solemn because of this sudden change.
The little girl sleeping on the stone bed and the little beast in the light cocoon beside her pillow are like two stones thrown into a deep pool, quietly uncovering a dusty past of the stars in the long river of fate.
Inside the main hall, the pale golden light of the soul-soothing talisman array gently enveloped the stone bed like a quiet stream.
White Deer remained in a deep coma, his brow furrowed tightly as if trapped in an endless nightmare. Beside his pillow, the pale golden cocoon encasing the Moon-Eating Rabbit rose and fell slightly, like its breath.
Xie Zhao sat cross-legged at the outer edge of the talisman formation, the Jinghong Talisman Pen hovering before him, its tip radiating a gentle talismanic light, steadily stabilizing the formation's operation. His peach-shaped eyes were filled with solemnity, and his fingertips unconsciously calculated, attempting to deduce the truth behind the "weeping star."
Chu Linyuan stood quietly beside the bed, his dark clothes blending into the shadows of the hall. His cold eyes fell on Bai Xiaolu's pale face, then swept across the sleeping rabbit in the cocoon of light.
The dark golden dragon pattern on the left cheek was emitting a restrained golden glow under the dim light, as if sensing something.
"Brother," Xie Zhao's voice was hoarse with fatigue, "The Soul-Calming Formation stabilized their spiritual essence, but those memory fragments... seem to be sealed by some powerful force. Forcibly attacking them will only hurt Xiaolu again."
Chu Linyuan was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his right hand. His fingertips, without any gathering of evil spirit, instead carefully and with an almost rigid gentleness, touched the pale golden cocoon enveloping the Moon-Devouring Rabbit.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the light cocoon—
Buzz——!!!
The Moon Devouring Rabbit within the light cocoon suddenly opened its tightly closed ruby eyes! This time, instead of a strange vortex, an unprecedented burst of brilliant light, like a concentrated sea of stars, erupted!
Two beams of star-blue light, condensed to the extreme, shot out from Rabbit's eyes without warning! One beam precisely penetrated Chu Linyuan's fingertips! The other beam, as if spanning space, instantly connected with the unconscious Bai Xiaolu's eyebrows!
"Not good!" Xie Zhao's face changed drastically, and the light of the Jinghong Talisman Pen suddenly increased, and it was about to forcibly cut off the connection!
"Don't move!" Chu Linyuan's cold voice carried an unprecedented solemnity and a hint of...strange guidance!
He didn't withdraw his finger, instead allowing the star-blue beam of light to penetrate! The dark golden dragon pattern on his left cheek suddenly lit up, and a surge of equally ancient and domineering dragon evil power, originating from the depths of his blood, erupted. However, it wasn't an attack, but rather an indestructible bridge, forcibly carrying and sorting through the surging torrent of star memories!
Boom——!!!
Chu Linyuan and Bai Xiaolu's bodies shook violently at the same time!
A series of broken, chaotic, yet extremely real pictures, like a bursting dam of stars, instantly rushed into Chu Linyuan's sea of consciousness, and through the bridge of his dragon evil power, in a relatively gentle way, simultaneously poured into the depths of Bai Xiaolu's consciousness!
*The illusion unfolds:
In the boundless universe, the stars are not just embellishments, but are as dense and huge as dust! The burning stars are the lairs of giant beasts, and the cold nebulae are the battlefields of battle!
At the center of the image, a beast of unimaginable size loomed! It wasn't a rabbit, but more like... a prehistoric star beast, its feet treading the galaxy, its head crowned by a stellar crown, its body covered in silver armor shimmering with starlight, its back bearing a massive swirl of star currents! It roared heavenward, its invisible sonic waves shattering the stars, its massive claws waving, tearing through space! It was the true form of the Moon Devouring Rabbit!
However, its enemies were even more terrifying! They were numerous equally massive, hideously twisted beasts known as "World Devourers," emitting a deathly aura that devoured everything! They were like a cosmic plague, extinguishing stars and corrupting space wherever they passed!
A battle so brutal it was beyond description! The star beast's silver armor shattered, and what flowed out was not blood, but burning star marrow! The star vortex on its back spun wildly, devouring the enemy's attacks and tearing at its own essence.
Every collision is accompanied by the explosion of stars and the wailing of space!
Finally, besieged by several world-devouring beasts, the Star Beast let out a final, universe-shattering wail! Its massive body was pierced by a dark, deathly light that tore through the universe! The core star on its back exploded with a bang! The terrifying explosion tore through space, creating a vast, chaotic rift in spacetime!
The Star Beast's shattered original consciousness, carrying the last bit of its core star essence, fell into the endless dark crack like a meteor...
Deep in the cold, deadly crack filled with chaotic space-time turbulence.
That faint glow of star marrow was like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any moment. The star beast's remaining consciousness sank and blurred in the endless drift... The glory of the ancient world, the roar of battle, the agony of near death... everything became distant and shattered.
I don't know how long I drifted, but just when that little starlight was about to completely dissipate...
Amidst the turbulent flow of the cracks, a faint yet remarkably tenacious breath of life suddenly emerged! Like a straw in the abyss of despair!
A small hand, with the fragrance of soil and herbs, held the dying star with extreme precision and tenderness amidst the chaotic flow of energy!
Warmth! The indescribable warmth that came from the very source of life, through that tiny hand, instantly passed to the star beast's consciousness that was on the verge of dissipating!
The picture is focused, and the one holding the starlight is a little girl wearing coarse linen clothes, pigtails, with a dirty face but a pair of eyes so clear that it makes people tremble - it is the young White Deer!
She didn't know why she appeared on the edge of this dangerous space-time rift. There was no fear in her clear big eyes, only pure worry and curiosity.
She looked at the faint but beautiful starlight in her palm, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something.
