Chapter 981: Chapter 978: Each Has Their Own Concerns
In the forest, a bonfire blazed!
This might be the first bonfire lit in the Mist Ghost Forest in a hundred years.
Li Chen, Xin Qingxue, Lian Hongshang, and Little Demon Immortal sat around the bonfire.
Whether due to exhaustion or so other reason, they remained silent.
Only the Lightning Weasel on Xin Qingxue’s shoulder made “zizi” sounds as it watched the flickering flas, either out of excitent or curiosity.
After a long while, Little Demon Immortal suddenly turned her gaze to Li Chen, her dimples spinning gently.
“Li Chen, you don’t have to co back with and take this risk. Whether it’s Dao Luohen or the Black Demon King, they’re not easy opponents!”
Li Chen didn’t respond directly but gazed into Little Demon Immortal’s eyes.
For so reason, perhaps guilt or sothing else, Little Demon Immortal instinctively looked away.
It was then that Li Chen spoke, “Once you draw the bow, there’s no turning back. At this point, we can only see it through to the end. Besides, with or without you, I would still venture into the Demon Domain!”
“Oh!”
Little Demon Immortal replied casually, her eyes revealing a complex expression.
She picked up a piece of wood and tossed it into the bonfire.
However, because the wood was a bit damp, it didn’t catch fire imdiately, but instead emitted thick smoke.
Little Demon Immortal was choked by the smoke, coughing violently, even shedding tears.
Lian Hongshang seed to understand Little Demon Immortal’s feelings, and she handed over her handkerchief.
Seemingly not wanting others to see her in such a state, Little Demon Immortal thanked Lian Hongshang and used the search for dry wood as an excuse to leave.
But Little Demon Immortal wasn’t going to find dry wood. She jumped onto a thousand-year-old tree, gazing toward the Demon Capital, and began to sob quietly.
This was perhaps her most vulnerable mont, especially ntally.
Since birth, she had never seen her mother; her father was her everything.
But now, her world had crumbled.
This was sothing she had never imagined before.
But now, it was happening right before her eyes.
Yet she felt so powerless, so helpless, even despairing.
Always carefree and laughing, Little Demon Immortal wiped her tears this ti.
The cold wind picked up, lifting her bangs, revealing a tear-streaked, doll-like face. Like a child lost from their parents, fearful and helpless.
“Why are you crying all of a sudden?”
Li Chen’s voice suddenly sounded behind Little Demon Immortal, startling her.
Little Demon Immortal quickly wiped her tears, hurriedly saying, “I’m not crying, just had sothing blown into my eyes by the wind!”
Li Chen looked at Little Demon Immortal’s already red and swollen eyes but said nothing. Instead, he sat down on a nearby branch, gazing at the vast starry sky.
Even though he couldn’t see the interstellar warships of the Mayan Star people, he knew these invaders were on their way to Earth. When they arrived, it might be the end of this blue planet.
He couldn’t see the Turquoise Pool of the Ziwei Star Domain either, but he knew that a woman nad Beiming Xue sat there, perhaps playing the zither, admiring flowers, or simply pondering in silence.
He couldn’t see the inside of those stars, but he knew that within, a story of the survival of the fittest was playing out, even more exciting than the one here by hundreds or thousands of tis.
“What are you thinking about?”
Seeing Li Chen staring at the sky, deep in thought, Little Demon Immortal curiously asked, blinking her big eyes.
Hearing Little Demon Immortal’s question, Li Chen withdrew his gaze and casually asked back.
“Little Demon Immortal, do you believe in the end of the world?”
“The end of the world?”
Little Demon Immortal was quite surprised, not understanding why Li Chen would ask such a question.
Li Chen nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, when that ti cos, the Human Clan, the Barbarians, the Demon Clan, even all living beings on this planet will face an unprecedented catastrophe, perhaps even total extinction!”
After hearing Li Chen’s description, Little Demon Immortal shivered instinctively.
She initially thought Li Chen was joking.
But when she saw Li Chen’s serious face and deep eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
Human Clan, Demon Clan, Barbarians… All races facing an unprecedented catastrophe, even extinction, how could this be possible, it was too incredible, right?
Moreover, what kind of powerful force could bring such a catastrophe to the humans, barbarians, and demons simultaneously, even the legendary Divinity Transformation True Monarch couldn’t achieve this, could they?
Besides, since Emperor Yu ascended with the nine cauldrons, has there been any trace of a Divinity Transformation Expert in this world?
Seeing the doubt in Little Demon Immortal’s eyes, Li Chen said calmly, “No need to worry, I was just talking about a possibility earlier. There’s still so ti, and the final result is an unknown number!”
Little Demon Immortal pondered for a while, then asked with wide eyes, “Do you need to gather the nine cauldrons to save this planet?”
Li Chen didn’t answer, but his silence seed to agree with Little Demon Immortal’s words.
Actually, even without the Mayan Star people’s invasion of Earth, he would still gather the Nine Yu Emperor Treasures to unlock the shackles of the world and restart the path to ascension.
However, the sudden appearance of the Mayan Star people forced him to accelerate this process.
Li Chen never considered himself a Savior; he just wanted to protect the people he loved and those who loved him, and do what he was supposed to do.
The magnitude of information Li Chen disclosed was overwhelming for Little Demon Immortal, and she found it hard to digest at once.
Little Demon Immortal needed to calm down, organize her thoughts, and process the information. Li Chen also remained silent, just sitting quietly on the treetops, feeling the breeze.
Both of them stayed silent, looking at the boundless starry sky, listening to the sound of the wind.
Suddenly!
A gust of eerie wind rose, and there ca a “huff huff” sound from within.
Little Demon Immortal’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked urgently, “What is that sound?”
Li Chen listened intently for a while and replied, “Soone is cutting down trees!”
“Cutting down trees?”
Little Demon Immortal was surprised, her big, bright eyes blinking back and forth.
At this mont, Xin Qingxue and Lian Hongshang also heard the sound from their side and cautiously ran over.
However, when they saw Li Chen and Little Demon Immortal sitting together on the tree, their expressions turned sowhat complex.
“Chen, did you hear that it sounds like soone is cutting trees?” Lian Hongshang broke the silence first, asking Li Chen.
Li Chen nodded and replied, “Yes, I heard it. It’s very weird, everyone be careful!”
After saying this, he floated down from the tree.
“Follow and be careful, let’s go take a look!”
Just like before, Li Chen led the way.
Little Demon Immortal, Lian Hongshang, and Xin Qingxue walked side by side, closely following behind.
To be safe, they all summoned their respective Magical Treasures, ready to respond to unexpected situations and face any formidable enemy…
