Chapter 2862 - 2863: The Wasteland of Time

Chapter 2862: Chapter 2863: The Wasteland of Time

This is the endless and vast time wilderness.

Dimensions, matter... everything has lost its meaning here.

All you can see are the countless rivers of time, crisscrossing and weaving into a web as dense as a spider’s web.

One seemingly insignificant small stream could be related to the life and death of a world.

This is a place mortals cannot tread; only true deities are qualified to enter.

And at this moment, there lies a dying giant dragon upon the time wilderness.

The dragon’s body spans countless miles, but most of its covering dragon scales have shattered, revealing the ghastly white bones beneath, shocking to behold.

Despite such severe injuries, when lying across the wilderness, the dragon still emanates an endless pressure and awe.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of existence could injure such an incredible giant dragon this way.

No one knows how much time has passed.

Suddenly, a wisp of fluctuation from the Netherworld drifts in.

This very fluctuation prompts the dragon to slowly open its eyes.

Those eyes are unimaginably large vertical pupils, with no emotion in the icy depths—only the serenity after seeing through all illusions.

"The clone I sent out is dead; it’s not surprising. I didn’t expect to rely solely on it to kill Xue An, but what’s with this light aura transmitted here?"

"Could it be that the little fellow who governs the rules of light also intervened? This is interesting!" the dragon muttered to itself.

Speaking of this, you might have guessed correctly. Yes, the giant dragon is the true form of the Giant Serpent, Shuming.

Yet it’s unclear what happened to cause such injuries.

After all, holding the status of controlling both time and destiny rules, it’s a top-tier existence in this high-dimensional universe.

How terrifying must one be to inflict such a wound?

At this moment, Shuming sighed softly.

"Forget it, whether the Lord of Light intervened or not, now’s not the time to dwell on these thoughts. It’s best to heal soon!"

As he spoke, Shuming’s body slowly sank into the time wilderness.

The countless time rivers immediately began to nourish his body.

The broken dragon body started to recover, and those massive wounds began to close.

For one born from time, the time of all things is its best supplement.

But just then, the wounds that had just partially healed suddenly tore again under an indescribable force.

Blood dripped down, and Shuming’s eyes opened wide, letting out a muffled grunt, with pain and fear evident in his previously cold eyes.

Yes!

Fear indeed!

Even as one standing at the apex of a high-dimensional universe, governing the forces of time and destiny, he was afraid.

It was a fear stemming from the heart.

No one knows how much time passed, but the wounds that had healed mostly were torn open again.

Shuming floated back to the surface of the time wilderness, muttering.

"Such terrifying power, even after so long, it still prevents me from healing!"

Speaking of this, Shuming seemed to recall something, and even his tone quivered slightly.

"It’s fortunate; exhausting the evil god’s power from the entire high-dimensional universe, even at the cost of several top evil gods’ deaths, we finally defeated you! Yet even now, your body was never found, truly an admirable and fearsome opponent!"

This top evil god who should hold the power of life and death over the entire universe, now seemed to grumble like an old man from the village.

After a long while, he finally recovered from his fear.

"It’s the same with this Xue An; logically, my clone should have been enough to destroy him, but instead, my clone was annihilated. Are all the Hua Clan people this terrifying?"

The last sentence seemed like a complaint but was in fact Shuming’s inner thought.

After all these years of dealing with the Hua Clan, he finally clearly understood one thing.

That is, the Hua Clan is indeed hard to defeat.

Even if you destroy his body, you cannot extinguish his spirit.

It’s precisely this spirit of resilience and perseverance that gives this once glorious and later weakened, yet again rising to glory clan an extremely terrifying potential.

So terrifying that even an existence like Shuming dares not underestimate them.

"Fortunately, his strength isn’t too outrageous yet. Once I heal, just a finger is enough to crush him; anyway, now without any backstage support for him, let’s wait until then!"

Shuming muttered, then slowly closed its eyes, returning to slumber.

....

"That little girl seems quite fond of you!" Watching tearful Tuan’er leave, Shu Jingchu couldn’t help but say softly.

Xue An chuckled and didn’t reply.

"I can actually see that two other girls are quite interested in you as well!"

"Did you keep me here just to tell me this?" Xue An raised an eyebrow.

"Certainly not!"

As she spoke, Shu Jingchu waved her hand, and suddenly two sofas appeared in the vast Temple of Light, with a small table beside them, atop which were two steaming cups of drinks.

"Have a cup of coffee! These are treasures I’ve painstakingly gathered!"

Without waiting for Xue An to respond, Shu Jingchu sat on the sofa.

Her posture was peculiar, sunk deep into the soft sofa like a pool of mud, while a ray of white light brought the steaming coffee to her lips.

Shu Jingchu took a sip, sighing contentedly.

"Damn, this is life! Only when those old guys aren’t around can I dare to be this carefree! Hey, why aren’t you sitting?"

Xue An looked deeply at the rather inelegant sitting Shu Jingchu and finally chose to sit opposite her.

"Have some coffee!"

"Sorry, I’m not used to any drink other than tea!"

"Tea... Actually, I used to love milk tea the most, from the Snow Honey Ice City, OCOC... just thinking about it makes my mouth water! But drinking coffee has one advantage: it helps me stay awake!"

Shu Jingchu seemed invigorated, quite ready for conversation.

Xue An had no interest in continuing on this topic.

He scanned the empty Temple of Light, especially noting that the Elders Council was no longer visible beneath the distant high platform.

This made him focus slightly.

Shu Jingchu noticed his gaze and chuckled.

"Don’t bother looking; after I forcibly stripped their leader of all his powers, they fled faster than anything!"

"Isn’t that what you wanted!" Xue An smiled.
