Chapter 2859 - 2860: Taking Action!

Chapter 2859: Chapter 2860: Taking Action!

"Nothing. I just suddenly remembered something from the past, that’s all!"

The Lord of Light—or rather, this little child—nodded at her words, then asked.

"Big sister, was that boy outside just now the one you’re supposed to wait for?"

"He should be! He was holding other fragments in his hand, so he should be the person that the one who sent me here told me to wait for!" Shu Jingchu said.

"Big sister, I can tell that this guy is burdened with extremely deep karma, and there’s even a trace of that Time-Space Giant Serpent Shuming’s aura on him!" the Lord of Light said.

"You know the Time-Space Giant Serpent too?"

Shu Jingchu had just heard Xue An recount the past, and knew that this Time-Space Giant Serpent Shuming was an extremely troublesome and terrifying existence.

But she had never heard the Lord of Light mention it before, so she couldn’t help being so surprised.

"Of course I know it! That Shuming is a top-tier Evil God who governs the two great rules of fate and time, while I’m in charge of light, so the two of us know each other!"

"Then why haven’t I heard you mention it before?"

"How should I put it? I’m different from guys like Shuming. They always think about destroying everything, but I’m different. I only hope someone can keep me company!"

As he said this, the Lord of Light lifted his lustrous eyes. "Big sister, will you always stay with me?"

Shu Jingchu’s maternal instincts began to overflow.

Because the child in front of her was simply unbearably cute.

"Of course I will!"

"Hee-hee, that’s good!"

Then the Lord of Light continued, "But that guy probably won’t live much longer, because I can sense that Shuming’s aura is rapidly approaching!"

Shu Jingchu was slightly startled. "Then what should we do?"

"Let it be, I guess. Anyway, just based on this guy’s strength, there’s absolutely no way he can be a match for Shuming!"

Shu Jingchu fell into deep thought.

Even though her transmigration process had been muddled and confused, she had not forgotten that voice’s instructions in the slightest.

She was to help him through his tribulation.

But the problem was, how was she supposed to help now?

"Big sister, are you thinking of helping him?" the Lord of Light asked, tilting his head.

This movement made him unbearably cute.

Shu Jingchu nodded. "Yeah!"

"Alright then, I can help you repel this wave of attacks!"

"You... is that really okay?"

"Why wouldn’t it be? After all, this approaching aura is just an avatar. I could wipe it out with a single breath!"

"But won’t you have to bear a lot of pressure afterward?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine! After all, even among the top-tier Evil Gods, I’m a very special existence. The karma of this world can’t be projected onto me at all, so the time and fate rules that Shuming is so good at are ineffective against me!" the Lord of Light said carelessly.

Shu Jingchu nodded. "So your sudden descent was to tell me this?"

"Yup!"

Shu Jingchu looked deeply at the small figure before her. "Thank you!"

"Ay, big sister, you don’t have to thank me. After all, you’re one of the only two people who have stayed with me this long. The other big sisters usually don’t last very long before they end up dying!"

At this point, the Lord of Light’s tone turned a bit dim.

"Who’s the other one?"

"What?"

"I’m asking, who is the other person who stayed with you for a long time?"

"Her? She’s also a Holy Maiden. It’s just that after doing it for a while, she took the initiative to step down!" The Lord of Light’s tone held a hint of sadness.

Shu Jingchu still wanted to ask more, but at that moment, the Lord of Light’s tone became serious.

"He’s here! And my prediction was slightly off. This Shuming isn’t just a simple avatar; it’s obvious he’s already received a bit of instruction from his true body!"

Shu Jingchu shuddered in fright.

"Then what should we do next?"

"Big sister, no need to panic. You withdraw from here first and hand the fragment in your hand to that guy. I’ll lie in wait and act when the time is right!"

"Alright!"

Shu Jingchu didn’t hesitate in the slightest and immediately withdrew from that illusory scene of light.

"You..."

Shu Jingchu was just about to remind Xue An to be careful, since the existence chasing him had appeared again.

But before she could speak, Xue An had already said calmly,

"Have you finished explaining everything? If you’re done, hand me the Celestial Mirror fragment in your hand!"

Shu Jingchu didn’t know whether Xue An had sensed her conversation with the Lord of Light, but she still took a deep breath and handed over the Celestial Mirror fragment in her hand.

Xue An took it, and then took out his own Celestial Mirror fragment as well.

Without Xue An even needing to act, in almost an instant, the two fragments fused into one.

In that instant, a vast might shot straight into the sky, causing the entire Temple of Light to begin trembling.

Xue An, however, showed not the slightest hint of excitement. Instead, he lifted his head and stared coldly at the lofty dome.

"Since you’re here, why aren’t you showing yourself?"

"Kekeke, Xue An, I truly admire your composure. With death at your door, you can still remain this calm!"

"If I don’t stay calm, what else am I supposed to do? Kneel down and beg for mercy?"

"That’s not impossible either!"

As the words fell, the space at the dome began to fluctuate violently, and then Shuming swaggered out of the space that had turned soft and mushy like sludge.

Upon seeing him, the members of the Elders Council kneeling on the ground couldn’t help but start in terror.

Because they all felt the boundless pressure emanating from Shuming.

"Where did this top-tier Evil God come from?"

"Such immense pressure!"

"This is bad, protect the Holy Maiden!"

After Shuming appeared, he didn’t waste any words and launched an indiscriminate attack at those on the high platform.

Shu Jingchu was naturally included among them.

Seeing this, the members of the Elders Council couldn’t help but have their eyes split with rage as they roared and charged toward the high platform.

But just as they had rushed halfway, a strange sight appeared.

The attacks from Shuming were sent straight back as they were, as if a gigantic and incomparably hard mirror had appeared in midair, directly reflecting those attacks back.

But before these attacks could reach Shuming, they dissipated into nothing.

"The reflection rule from the Celestial Mirror, is it? That is indeed impressive, but it’s still far from enough to deal with me!"

"Oh, really?" Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then what about this move?"

As he spoke, Xue An raised his hand and tossed out the Celestial Mirror fragment that had already fused twice.

The radiance was dazzling beyond compare, carrying supreme might as it shot straight toward Shuming in midair.

Shuming merely let out a cold laugh.

"I already told you before, if this were a complete Celestial Mirror, I would turn around and leave without a word. But it’s only an incomplete fragment. What can it possibly do to me?"

Sure enough.

This time, the Celestial Mirror fragment didn’t even manage to get close to Shuming. At a distance of several dozen zhang from him, it began spinning wildly.

Zi zi zi!

The very space was being sliced into sparks, showing just how terrifying its power was, yet it still couldn’t advance any further.

And just then, a faint, almost imperceptible thread of pale white light appeared behind Shuming.
