Auffa Empire.
Near the border, by the shores of Long Lake.
Wu Xiaode had already left with Nina.
Prince Anglu still hovered in mid-air, continuously issuing commands.
As ti passed, one follower after another returned from all directions, each kneeling on one knee on the ground.
After releasing the last bundle of dark light, the prince spoke:
"Have you found Nina?"
"Your majesty, we have searched everywhere, but we have not found any trace of the princess," one follower replied.
A flicker of rembrance passed through the prince’s gaze.
"Hmph, Father always felt her talent was higher than mine, but now it seems she also hides strengths that I do not know of..."
"But in our family, having soone with that kind of Bloodline Power, one is enough!"
The words fell.
Surrounding Void erupted with bursts of ringing sounds.
One powerful professional after another stepped out from the Void.
Prince Anglu looked around at these formidable beings and softly chanted:
"Servants of the great Master of Law, there is an evil Divine’s Vessel. You must destroy her."
"Co, feel the Bloodline Power within ; find my younger sister, whether she has fled to the Elf realm or another world."
"Kill her!"
...
Death Demon Cave.
After Little Ulysses and the Enchanting Demon had left.
Wu Xiaode waited a few more breaths.
Finally, the place cald down, with no Demon God approaching any longer.
With that Token, this place was nominally his territory now.
What right did these Demon Gods have to co here?
Wu Xiaode glanced at the sleeping Nina and couldn’t help but sigh.
— Let them go, for now.
He had to ensure Nina’s safety first.
At that mont, Nina opened her eyes.
"How long have I slept?"
She sat up and asked.
"Half an hour? Maybe an hour—you alright?" Wu Xiaode asked.
Nina bit her lip and suddenly threw herself into Wu Xiaode’s arms.
Wu Xiaode was stunned.
"Listen, Brother Wu, I’ve awakened," she whispered.
"Ah, what?" Wu Xiaode was utterly baffled.
"In the ancient tis, our family was rumored to have a very close relationship with the Death God, so our bloodline is also extrely special," Nina said.
"Death God? The one from the Demon God’s palace?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"No, the real Death God, which was said to have ruled over countless Death Worlds. But it vanished into the depths of a Death Realm after the Epoch ended," Nina explained.
"What I always wondered is why your brother has always wanted to kill you—"
"Last ti, he sent you in here to feed the One-eyed Giant, and this ti, he’s searching everywhere to have you killed," Wu Xiaode said.
"Because the Death God once made a strict prophecy:"
"In our family, over twelve generations, at most one who possesses the ’Divine’s Vessel’ talent will erge."
"In the nine generations before us, no one awakened this talent."
"My brother and I are the twelfth generation."
"If he kills , he’ll be the sole heir of our bloodline."
"If the prophecy holds, he will definitely beco ’Divine’s Vessel.’"
Wu Xiaode didn’t understand: "It’s just a talent, and he’s willing to kill his father and sister for it?"
The Chi Xiao Sword Spirit suddenly interjected: "So, you are the heirs of the Epoch’s End lineage, the rumor that ’Divine’s Vessel’ can revive all depleted great powers is true?"
"It’s true," Nina said.
"Your legend has been circulating for too long, and a person with such talent awakens only every twelve generations—how can you be sure all this is true?" the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit asked.
"Because I’ve awakened this talent, I am certain it’s true," Nina replied.
The Chi Xiao Divine Sword trembled as if it couldn’t withstand the shock of this news and flew rapidly back and forth in the Death Demon Cave.
Wu Xiaode felt sowhat bewildered.
Well.
Even if it could revive all great powers, so what?
Nina lowered her head and said softly, "Brother Wu, I want to avenge our father. Will you help ?"
Wu Xiaode snapped back to his senses and imdiately slapped his chest: "Help? Of course, I’ll help—we’ve been through life and death together. If I don’t help you, who will?"
Street hooligans are usually hearty and carefree n.
Normally, they don’t whine or wallow.
Unless sothing real happens.
Typically, that ans a family crisis or lack of money for illness, and no one else to rely on but the brothers to give a hand.
That’s the ti to test the brothers.
Are they fair-weather friends?
Or are they truly loyal, the kind to stick by their side through thick and thin?
Wu Xiaode furrowed his brows.
——He would always rember Nina lying in a pool of blood, tossing the Battle Armor over to him.
If...
Without that Battle Armor, he would have died long ago.
Just like his other selves in parallel worlds, silently vanishing in this epoch.
Wu Xiaode felt the trembling body of the little girl in his arms and the tears streaming down her clothes, and couldn’t help but gently lift his hand—
He touched Nina’s head and whispered,
"Even if your brother is the favorite of the Master of Law Beast, I’ll beat him half-dead and drag him before you."
"Of course, I can’t beat the Master of Law Beast yet."
"But I will definitely stand by your side, and when I can beat it, I’ll handle this matter!"
The trembling on Nina’s body disappeared.
She lifted her head, her eyes silently streaming with tears, yet she stared unblinkingly at Wu Xiaode.
Worried the little girl might despair, Wu Xiaode continued,
"Not just your brother, anyone who bullies you, I will definitely kill them."
"Really?" Nina asked.
"Really," Wu Xiaode said.
"Brother Wu, when I was asleep earlier, my shadow sensed that the Master of Law Beast near my brother is very strong, we can’t beat it," Nina said.
"Is there absolutely no way?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Unless you help find another Master of Law Beast, or a spirit from the previous Epoch, I might have a way," Nina said.
A flash of spirit light crossed Wu Xiaode’s mind.
That prince tirelessly rallying the powerful from all realms to fight in an Interdiate Layer World.
"Wait... Maybe I really could find a Master of Law Beast, or a spirit," Wu Xiaode said.
"You can find them?" Nina was stunned.
——"The enemy of a Master of Law Beast must not be ordinary; it could be another Master of Law Beast or a spirit!"
Wu Xiaode strode to the grand door on the ground and kicked it fiercely.
Boom, boom, boom——
The bronze door slowly opened.
What appeared was an endless Dark Void, dotted with countless, innurable stars.
Every star represented a world.
"I rember your brother saying that world is beneath the Red Castle, the third world west of Holy City!" Wu Xiaode exclaid excitedly.
"But we have never been to these worlds," Nina said.
Wu Xiaode chuckled and grasped the Chi Xiao Sword in his hand.
"Holy City?" the Chi Xiao Sword asked.
"Let’s go!" Wu Xiaode said.
"I have to remind you, this was three days ago; you cannot go deep into Holy City and change what is about to happen to you in three days. Otherwise, it will cause great chaos."
"Of course, we are just using it as a coordinate to find the way to the third world to the west," Wu Xiaode said.
He took Nina’s hand, ready to step through the bronze door.
"Wait a second," Nina suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"Wait for , my talent has awakened, and it lets sense that there seems to be sothing in the Death Demon Cave..."
Nina let go of Wu Xiaode’s hand, looking around as she walked deeper into the Death Demon Cave.
"What did you find?" Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Nina didn’t answer but just walked around the cave with a vacant look.
Wu Xiaode casually waved his hand.
Quiet Demon Mist followed, enveloping Nina.
"All great beings of death, their power invariably leaves traces in this world. Her ’Divine’s Vessel’ can collect those residual powers, then revive such powers," the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit said.
"What is the exact situation?" Wu Xiaode asked, crossing his arms.
"Unclear; it’s rely a legend—too old a legend, no one knows its effect," the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit said.
While the man and the sword were chatting leisurely, Nina had already turned around and walked back toward them.
Wu Xiaode glanced at her.
Her hands were empty, with no power fluctuations on her body.
It seed like there was no gain.
"Let’s go, check out the place where your brother is going to battle," Wu Xiaode said.
"Okay... and now, I have a little power to help," Nina said.
"Power?" Wu Xiaode asked curiously.
"Want to try it?" Nina asked.
"What is it?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Just try it. We’ll be fighting side by side in the future, so you need to get used to it," Nina said, reaching out and patting Wu Xiaode.
In an instant—
Wu Xiaode disappeared.
A massive figure thunderously landed on the ground, causing the floor to burst with a dull sound.
——This was a One-eyed Giant!
It roared in confusion,
"What is this situation, how have I turned into this!"
