"Alright."
The Daoist gently exhaled.
He smiled wryly: "Perhaps I’m just too suspicious, always feeling that sothing is too fishy there. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and everything we gain cos at a price."
Amina blinked, "Actually, I’m a bit puzzled too."
"Puzzled about what?"
"It’s just," Amina pointed at herself, "the Core Circuit is the continuation of their civilization, and I am the holder of the Core Circuit. By right, shouldn’t I be the successor? Why would they choose you, a cultivator who has nothing to do with us, as the successor?"
Wang Jixuan nodded: "That’s reasonable. Anything else?"
Amina carefully recalled.
After the initial excitent passed, she cald down and began to reflect on what she had seen and heard over the past few days.
The majestic city;
The magnificent subspace;
Various incredible spiritual technologies;
The harp swaying with the wind;
The excessively slender depictions and sculptures of ancient civilization humans;
And those eyes filled with a hint of resentnt and helplessness...
Amina shook her head: "I can’t say much more, it felt empty there, like experiencing a collective funeral. Or maybe it was originally a place of refuge, but the disaster happened too quickly for the people outside to escape inside."
Wang Jixuan nodded, sitting there in thought for a long ti.
He sighed: "Let’s check the situation first."
"How do we check the situation?"
"First close the interstellar gate. If everything goes smoothly, and there’s ti to cultivate, then it will be enough for to enhance myself."
The Daoist swept his sleeves and stood up:
"If the Blade Beast continues to strike, and we cannot resist, then we’ll have to take our chances there.
"One cannot do things half-heartedly, that’s one of the few principles my master taught .
"Since I’m already involved in the affairs on Earth, naturally I can’t back out halfway."
"Wow," Red Snake exclaid, "Teacher, you really are quite responsible."
Wang Jixuan shrugged with open hands: "My cultivation relies on exploiting the Blade Beast. If I don’t side with the opposing force of the Blade Beast, I will also be wiped out by the Blade Beast."
Red Snake:...
As if she didn’t praise!
...
After reporting to Wang Jixuan, Amina returned to her cold and high-profile deanor and headed straight for the Arctic Circle.
Facing the Three Spirit Cultivators of the Bright Wings, she decided to take out twelve Spiritual Energy Circuits capable of effectively countering the Blade Beast. As for the rest...
In the past, how she was isolated, now she would naturally isolate back.
However, Amina was also quite pessimistic about one point.
This batch of ancient Spiritual Energy Circuits ca too late;
The Spirit Cultivators were almost wiped out, and even with new support, their chances of victory were not great.
Moreover, to truly unleash the value of these Spiritual Energy Circuits, they would need to successfully leave Earth and find other Spirit Cultivators trapped in various places.
Amina was unsure of what lay ahead;
She was now like Wang Jixuan said, only able to take one step at a ti.
After Amina left, Wang Jixuan hesitated repeatedly before inviting Gao Huating for lunch.
This was not a date, and the lunch was kept simple—two standard research institute lunchboxes on a low table, with them sitting on small stools, indulging in their als.
However, Gao Huating still paid great attention to her image, eating her als in small bites.
Wang Jixuan directly asked: "How do you feel about the soul of your previous life?"
"The feeling..."
Gao Huating responded softly:
"Very proud and very stubborn. It’s hard for to counter what she has set her mind on, but she should be a kind person, that’s how she feels to ."
Wang Jixuan seed sowhat preoccupied.
Gao Huating brushed her hair behind her ear and asked softly: "Is there a problem?"
Wang Jixuan responded: "She wants to inherit the heritage of the ancient civilization, and I’m a bit afraid to go."
"Oh?"
Gao Huating pondered seriously.
She asked softly: "Will there be traps below?"
"I don’t know."
"Logically, she should just want to continue the fla of her civilization."
Gao Huating said:
"I haven’t communicated with her many tis, if it weren’t for certain events, she would almost never appear.
"I thought I would receive her ability’s inheritance."
"In reality, though, she was more inclined for to live as an ordinary person, without involvent in Spiritual Energy matters. I vaguely rember hearing her say...
"The path is wrong.
"Based on the Core Circuit instead of humanity itself, it beca the source of all calamity. The sins they committed hundreds of thousands of years ago still affect this Star Domain today."
Wang Jixuan nodded thoughtfully.
He suddenly asked, "Do you eat at?"
"Hmm?" Gao Huating blinked, "I don’t eat at..."
The Daoist placed the untouched pieces of at from her lunchbox into his own.
Gao Huating hurriedly picked out the at in front of her.
Wang Jixuan shook his head with a smile: "I’ve been fasting. When I took your at earlier, what did you think? Did it feel abrupt? Did you feel a sense of loss, even if just a little?"
Gao Huating blinked and nodded, sowhat understanding.
Master Wang sighed:
"It’s essentially the sa concept; those things never belonged to .
"If that lady had chosen a Spirit Cultivator or even an ordinary human—of course, logically, it should be you who inherits that Ancient Civilization—then I would have had no hesitation.
"These things are extensions of their civilization.
"But I’m just an outsider; she knows this clearly.
"She might have a favorable impression of a Cultivator, but at most it’s giving a piece of at, not the whole dish."
"True," Gao Huating said with a hint of loss, "Lady Amina said she wouldn’t be returning. I haven’t had the chance to properly bid her farewell."
Wang Jixuan suddenly felt an impulse to pat her head.
Like how a senior would care for a junior.
But it’s not quite appropriate due to the gender difference.
"Don’t overthink it," Master Wang said with a smile, "If I really have to descend later, it would definitely be to drag you as a human shield."
Gao Huating imdiately laughed: "Then I shall gladly oblige."
"You truly want to be a human shield?"
"Willing to serve the Black Storm with all my might!"
"People like you in your past life might have died of rage."
"Well, she’s she, and I’m ," Gao Huating puffed her cheeks, "Becoming soone related to her is my honor, but becoming soone like her, I might not be able to do."
Wang Jixuan gave a thumbs up.
She always maintained a good mindset.
"Hurry and eat," Wang Jixuan placed his two pieces of at back in front of her, "Later, I’ll arrange a tour for you nad ’Before the World Ends.’
Gao Huating’s eyes shone brightly: "Where’s the tour going?"
"The military."
Wang Jixuan said without looking up:
"The great space battle is imminent; no one knows how many will die.
"Use your song to inspire the soldiers on the front line."
"Okay!" Gao Huating nodded vigorously, "I’ll imdiately assemble a performance team and rehearse the repertoire, striving to depart tomorrow!"
The Daoist continued eating but had already made a plan in his mind.
This ti, he should face danger head-on despite knowing it’s perilous.
But there’s no rush for that yet.
According to Amina’s calculations, they now have a 60-70% chance of closing the Star Sky Gate, worth a shot. Better to close the gate first and then assess the situation.
If there are no new Blade Beast Groups within a few years, Wang Jixuan doesn’t have to enter the Ancient Civilization, just continue drawing power from the Sixth Pillar.
What he’s afraid of now is the Blade Beasts causing new trouble for him.
...
Lingtong lay quietly in the cockpit of the lightweight Horror cha.
The chanical arms and spine were fully integrated with the cha’s control system, preparing for the upcoming space war.
Due to the microgravity environnt of space, the Horror cha could carry more ammunition, turning it into a mobile arsenal, making Lingtong’s piloting skills increasingly crucial.
"How are you feeling?"
Ms. Wan asked softly.
"Good," Lingtong nodded, beginning to take deep breaths.
Scenes from daily training flashed through her mind, and Wang Jixuan’s smiling face suddenly surfaced, slightly distracting Lingtong.
Stay calm, stay calm.
She took a deep breath with determination, hearing the familiar dinging sound beside her ear, and imdiately opened her eyes.
The cockpit had settled into the nape of the Horror cha, with the light curtains softly shimring, revealing the deep starry sky outside and the dense, surging beast herd ahead.
"Full-line fire saturation delivery!"
Ti: Fifteen days later.
The Star Sky Gate annihilation battle has fully comnced!
