Chapter 254

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"Something's strange. The people you healed didn't return to their old places after they left. Instead, they gathered together, seemingly plotting something. However, they haven't participated in any wars, and they've been unusually quiet considering their numbers."

Bai Yan frowned upon hearing this.

The Nightingale put it very euphemistically. In reality, what he really meant was that this group was being far too low-key and was definitely planning something big.

After escaping death once again, Bai Yan's powers have completely gone astray.

Using ancient material concepts, the Four Pillars refine illusory reflections into temporary, false creations; after being mixed with the Imaginary Tree, they can recreate worlds that existed in the past through influence, thus achieving the revival of worlds.

Whether it was by chance or not, Rochu gave him a small life-saving item, which led to his first connection with the Path of Abundance.

Bai Yan wasn't sure if this relationship was one of the triggers for the Abundance's sudden intervention.

But now, his Phase World Technique has evolved into a "repair" ability that ignores species.

He can't help if a person dies, because finding a soul is outside his area of expertise.

But if you're still clinging to life, no matter how severe your injuries or how many parts you're missing, Bai Yan can restore you to full health, as if you'd never been injured at all.

War is often inevitably accompanied by plague.

However, once Bai Yan takes over, this conspicuous virus will simply disappear during the evolutionary process.

Because you weren't in the "blueprint," you disappeared after the evolution.

When Bai Yan arrived here, he only felt that Abundance a bit stingy and that he, as the Emanator a bit inadequate.

One day in the second month after arriving on this planet, the Nightingale brought a child who was not yet two years old and an old man who was far too old.

The old man is nearing the end of his life, and his granddaughter has no one to support her.

The original intention was to find a way to send samples, but Bai Yan felt that with orphanages, finding a good one depended on fate.

So he decided to try his luck with the old man and see if he could pull some tricks.

A minute later, the old man's body became twenty years younger, and he kowtowed to Bai Yan twenty-four times, shouting "May the true god have mercy!" twenty-four times.

They then sent the two away without much trouble, because they believed they should not disobey God's will.

After this incident, a group of strange people gradually appeared on the planet.

Clearly, the Nightingale had guessed why these people had gathered together.

Thousands of years ago, didn't the Xianzhou Alliance set sail precisely for the purpose of achieving immortality?

"I have a bad feeling— Nightingale, what are your plans for the rest of the trip?"

"Well, actually, the performance and recording here are almost over. Next, we might go to another planet to take a look."

For the Nightingale, this is a journey of maturation as a true singer, a journey of forging its own path.

Bai Yan's plan was to slip away along the way and not linger here.

Mainly because I'm afraid of the hassle.

Another half month passed, Nightingale was already planning to move on to its next destination; meanwhile, the war on this planet was gradually subsiding, and many forces began to secretly gather together, plotting something unknown.

The next stop is a civilization ravaged by the Stellaron, still struggling to survive.

This time, Bai Yan didn't rush to save people, and the Nightingale acquiesced to his choice.

After all, the latter, though kind, is not foolish.

This friend from Earth is clearly the type who's always ready to help, but he absolutely doesn't like to cause trouble.

While this might leave some regrets, if you can't resist, you'll probably create even more regrets.

The two reached a consensus through tacit understanding, and soon someone arrived to verify the necessity of this consensus.

On the morning of the eighth day after arriving on this planet, a girl who was almost unrecognizable as human was taken by a group of people to the Nightingale's camp.

Then the group of people knelt down one after another, not saying anything else, just kneeling and begging for help.

After a dozen or so people had bowed to the eighth system, half of them had collapsed and entered a state of shock.

The Nightingale couldn't bear it any longer and told Bai Yan what had happened.

After Bai Yan arrived, he did not make a move immediately, but first carefully observed the girl.

Ten minutes passed, and he still couldn't see anything wrong, so he told the others to leave and indicated that he was going to start rescuing the people.

"I'm sorry, Bai Yan..."

"It's alright, you've already done a lot of work to get this far."

Bai Yan raised his right hand and waved it gently as he spoke.

After laying the girl flat on the hospital bed, he made a hand seal with one hand and performed the Evolution Phase Technique.

A strange energy fluctuation emanated from his fingertips, and soon the girl felt a vitality awakening within her body.

This vitality constantly circulates within the body, making every cell seem to be reviving, and some permanent wounds are even repairing themselves, a miracle that even surpasses the healing of flesh and bone.

Bai Yan's handsome face was reflected in the girl's eyes, as if it were gradually turning into eternity.

The girl's gaze even seemed somewhat unfocused.

The next moment.

She reached out her fair hand and gently grasped Bai Yan's neck.

Bai Yan was slightly taken aback, then said, "Stop fooling around."

"My benefactor is compassionate and merciful, I simply..."

In that instant, the hand unleashed a power beyond its appearance, gripping Bai Yan tightly and rendering him immobile.

Bai Yan's eyes widened, and he immediately tried to pry the arm off with both hands.

He possessed considerable strength, yet he was unable to budge that inconspicuous arm.

"Who are you?!"

The girl smiled sweetly, and then her entire appearance transformed in the blink of an eye.

Her long hair flowed freely, her lips were bright red, and her eyes shone with a dazzling light, resembling azure flames.

"It's you again!"

"Long time no see, you seem to have grown a lot. However, you still seem to lack some experience; you were caught off guard and I managed to fool you."

"... What do you want?"

"I'm very interested in your immortal power—would you like to join my ranks?"

Bai Yan forced a cold laugh, "A Heliobus actually asks the host's opinion before possessing a body?"

"That's certainly a good idea, but as you know, what I really want is something else..."

"Still eyeing the Jianmu?"

"You who have been blessed by the bounty of Abundance, do you not feel even the slightest bit moved by the Jianmu?"

"No, I'd rather side with my master than with the Abundance."

"Heh... it seems I talked too much nonsense just now."

Huanluo composed himself and released a slight burst of power from his hand.

The Destruction force flowed in and began to slowly search for certain structural elements of this body.

Carbon-based life forms will always generate various problems.

Even though he has now received a blessing, he still has not chosen to leave the realm of humanity.

Therefore, it is always possible to create such a problem by using the power of the Lord of Annihilation.

"Um?"

Huanluo was slightly taken aback, as if he had sensed something was amiss.

Then she saw a smile appear on Bai Yan's face.

"What are you laughing at—this is... an illusion?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, "Bai Yan" vanished, and the surrounding scenery changed in that instant.

Beneath my feet lies an endless desert, and above me are countless, Stars.

A bright moon had just risen, its faint light illuminating a person beneath it.

Bai Yan walked slowly across the sand to Huanluo.

The latter put his right hand behind his back, looking at Bai Yan with some apprehension.

But Bai Yan, who was opposite her, seemed to have flames burning in his eyes, with golden light that seemed to pierce through the night sky.

"I don't like to cause trouble, but since you've come looking for me, I don't mind if we have a go at it."

"It just so happens that when I was still very weak, I learned a principle: true strength always requires going through cruel trials to forge a body that has been tempered a thousand times."

"I have long heard that Lord Huanluo is skilled at the Destruction opponents on a spiritual level... I am unworthy, but I would like to experience Lord Huanluo's divine powers firsthand."

Huanluo looked around, but couldn't see through the world before him.

--Isn't this fictional?!

Her face was ashen as she stared at Bai Yan and said, "You are not simply Emanator of Abundance."

Bai Yan nodded. "I just can't stand suffering, which is completely different from a madman like Shuhu."

"I see... But you think this will trap me?"

As he spoke, a weapon appeared in Huanluo's hand.

With a gentle wave of the fan, the world changes color.

Within the Phase World, countless Fragmentum were created, and monstrous things, twisted into monsters, poured out and rushed towards Bai Yan.

They are endless, covering the desert in an instant, with no end in sight.

Bai Yan smirked, snapped his fingers, and instantly vanished from the spot.

Huanluo frowned, then transformed into a wisp of green smoke and chased after Shansheng along the path the other had taken.

After sensing that she had overcome some kind of obstacle, Huanluo found herself in a civilization that seemed to be made entirely of steel.

The Setsuna it entered, countless mechanical constructs launched an attack.

"So this is your power. Developing special grottoes based on your opponent's weaknesses to fight them... No wonder they were targeting you!"

Lifeless steel, devoid of will, operates a cold war solely on simple commands.

Unable to attack the will behind it, Huanluo's abilities were temporarily restricted.

The battle of wits between the two sides unfolded in a peculiar way.

After Bai Yan saw through the deception, he took advantage of Huanluo's arrogance and lured him into a trap, ultimately using the Phase World Technique to suppress him.

However, even after losing the initiative, Huanluo showed no signs of weakness after being suppressed. Within the giant trapping array composed of infinite phase worlds, he unleashed the power of the Destruction, continuing to annihilate one civilization after another.

The power of this battle was so immense that even the Phase World could not conceal the terrifying fluctuations, and once leaked, they quickly spread throughout the starry sky.

After Nightingale Bai Yan suppressed Huanluo, Robin immediately had him sent away.

Bai Yan then chose an uninhabited starry sky as the battlefield, with the Phase World floating within it in an invisible manner.

The battle Emanator- level beings quickly attracted attention, Huanluo was the first to consider retreating.

Immediately afterwards, the defenses of countless phase world structures were breached, Huanluo finally appeared in the starry sky.

Bai Yan stood on a continent, gazing at it from afar, his face filled with anger.

"Trying to run away? Weren't you so arrogant before? Why are you chickening out now?"

"Hey old man, don't run away! Come and fight me again!"

"I'll beat you to a pulp, or I'll change my name backwards!"

Looking at the boy who was furious because his identity had been exposed to the world, Huanluo couldn't feel happy at all.

Unable to defeat each other, she was forced to reassess this new enemy.

Immediately, Huanluo gritted his teeth and said, "I was only ambushed by you this time. Next time I see you, I'll make you a Voidranger!"

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
