"Evil God Suruk… as sinister as expected!" The red-haired man muttered in a low voice.
That red-haired man was actually Chi Mo!
Aside from his pale face and weakened vitality, his body was completely intact.
Even He Yiming did not know that the Chi Mo who had been possessed earlier…
…was actually a clone created by Chi Mo using the power of the Great Emperor bloodline!
Although Chi Mo believed what Mu Xueying said about the so-called great opportunity, how shrewd was he? Using half of his essence blood, he refined a clone!
This was something only a bearer of the Red Emperor bloodline could accomplish!
Then Chi Mo's true body hid in this extremely secret location unknown to anyone. He transferred his consciousness and soul into the clone before heading to the opportunity Mu Xueying mentioned, where he encountered the Evil God's believers and obtained the power granted by the Evil God!
Sure enough, at the critical moment, the Evil God stabbed him in the back and possessed Chi Mo's clone! Chi Mo made a decisive decision—without resisting at all, he abandoned the clone and withdrew his consciousness and soul!
Even so, he was severely injured. After enduring great hardship to return to his true body, Chi Mo was now extremely weak.
But at least…
He survived!
"Putting the Evil God aside for now—damn you, He Yiming! You think you won? Heh. This genius never died. The power of the Great Emperor bloodline is beyond your imagination!"
"And now I already know how strong you are! Heh heh heh… Once I recover, I'll return to the clan and invite the elders!"
"When the time comes, crushing you will be effortless!"
"Hahahaha!"
The more Chi Mo thought about it, the more delighted he became, bursting into laughter.
"What's the good news? Why not share it with me?" A leisurely voice suddenly rang out.
"!" Chi Mo's face instantly darkened.
He turned around—
—and saw an impossible figure.
Young Master Six Dao.
Clearly, Young Master Six Dao had not just arrived.
He had been waiting here for quite some time!
"You… how are you here?!" Chi Mo was stunned.
This was a location he had carefully selected—absolutely safe and secure. Even the Human Emperor of this era would not be able to find it!
Yet Young Master Six Dao had found it—and had been waiting for a long time.
This meant that from the very beginning, Young Master Six Dao knew where his true body was hidden!
That was impossible!
Unless…
"Don't tell me… that bitch Mu Xueying told you my location?!" Chi Mo roared angrily.
"Looks like you're not too stupid." Young Master Six Dao smiled.
"You… were sent by that woman to kill me?" Chi Mo immediately guessed the truth.
After all, Young Master Six Dao was no good person either. Waiting here for him definitely wasn't to exchange pleasantries.
"Mm. If you're willing to reveal the Great Emperor opportunity, perhaps I can grant you a quick death," Young Master Six Dao said with a grin.
"Even if I haven't recovered my strength, you think you can kill me?!" Chi Mo roared furiously and was about to unleash all his power!
"Boom boom boom!"
However, a massive formation suddenly activated, forcefully suppressing Chi Mo's power.
This formation was not only extraordinarily powerful, but it had clearly been arranged long ago, and was specifically designed to counter Chi Mo's abilities!
"This formation…" Chi Mo's expression darkened further.
"That's right. Miss Mu Xueying also taught me this formation," Young Master Six Dao smiled again, slowly revealing six Divine Artifacts!
Each Divine Artifact was wrapped in a powerful, long-condensed Conceptual Intent!
"If you dare kill me, aren't you afraid you won't leave the Chaotic Star Sea alive? Do you think the Red Emperor descendants will let you go?" Knowing today might be his end, Chi Mo immediately invoked the prestige of the Red Emperor lineage.
"Your vitality is impure. Your soul aura is muddled. It seems the Evil God's power has indeed tainted your bloodline. In that case, killing you won't raise suspicion."
"In fact, after killing you, I plan to return immediately—go back to the Chaotic Star Sea first and tell everyone that you colluded with the Evil God and were slain by He Yiming! Oh right, those upper realm human geniuses? You killed them too."
"Since you won't live anyway, you might as well carry a few more crimes."
Young Master Six Dao smiled as he released the immense aura of half-step Nascent Soul Realm!
"Young Master Six Dao!!!" Chi Mo roared and unleashed all his strength!
In the next moment, the two engaged in fierce battle…
Three days later.
"The Other Shore Bridge has appeared again?" He Yiming opened his eyes. As the distant mist gradually thickened and the familiar bridge manifested once more, he slowly rose to his feet.
His gaze shifted to the distance.
There, several hundred players were gathered tightly around a delicate little girl.
Lian Duoduo.
The little girl Handsome Sanji had risked his life to save, the one who was originally meant to serve as the vessel for the Evil God's descent.
"Little Duoduo, is this tasty? It's Deep Sea King skewers!"
"Duoduo, try this! True Red-Eyed Black Dragon leg meat! I've been saving it since the second test!"
"Duoduo, the hotpot's ready! Let's eat together!"
Hundreds of players surrounded the little girl, taking out all kinds of delicious food and fun items, using every trick in the book to entertain her.
"Thank you!"
"Big brother, you're so nice!"
"Mm! This is so yummy!"
Lian Duoduo was extremely happy. These had been the happiest three days since she woke up!
Every one of these big brothers was kind to her—treating her like a real little sister!
For the first time, Lian Duoduo felt warmth.
"Move aside! You guys, damn it—take that Deep Sea King skewer away! How long has it been sitting there? What if it upsets my Duoduo's stomach? And you—move!"
At that moment, Handsome Sanji finally squeezed his way in with great difficulty.
"Big Brother Sanji!!!" Lian Duoduo was the happiest to see him. She immediately jumped up and ran to his side.
"I just killed a strange beast and picked this spirit flower from where it was guarding. I already made it into a flower crown—come, I'll put it on you!" Handsome Sanji grinned as he crouched down and gently placed the flower crown on her head.
"Thank you, Big Brother Sanji!" Lian Duoduo smiled brightly.
That pure and adorable smile left Handsome Sanji completely stunned.
"Ahhh! So cute!"
"Yeah! Way better than my sister who calls me disgusting every day!"
"Sigh, I'd give up a hundred years of my life for a sister like this!"
The surrounding players were all overwhelmed.
"Alright, alright! Disciples, the Other Shore Bridge has appeared! It's time for us to depart!" He Yiming stood up and waved his hand, signaling the players to prepare.
According to his guess,
This time, the Other Shore Bridge would likely take them to the final opportunity land!
Very possibly—the Lost Era!
Though He Yiming still did not fully understand the meaning behind the bridge's appearances, one day he surely would!
"Sigh, time to go!"
"Yeah, check your stuff, don't forget anything!"
"I want to stay with my Duoduo!"
"Keep dreaming!"
Though reluctant, the players stood and began heading toward the Other Shore Bridge.
He Yiming also stepped forward, preparing to cross.
"Big brothers… are you… are you going to leave Duoduo behind?" Lian Duoduo froze. Seeing everyone leaving, she panicked—and burst into tears.
"Brother Ming, we… we can't just leave Duoduo like this! How about I stay and take care of her!" Handsome Sanji gritted his teeth and shouted.
"No, I'll stay!"
"Move aside, I'll do it!"
Several players immediately volunteered.
"Enough nonsense!" He Yiming shouted sternly.
But even he hesitated.
Leaving Lian Duoduo alone in this Immortal Emperor era, was that truly okay?
The Evil God had already targeted her once. Who's to say it wouldn't happen again?
But…
Lian Duoduo belonged to the Immortal Emperor era.
Could she follow him across the Other Shore Bridge and travel through time?
He Yiming turned his gaze—
—and looked at Mu Xueying.
