Time kept rewinding, back through deaths long, long past.
The billions of years were all still, quietly resting amid silent dust. Bai Yujun accelerated Time Rewind, returning to billions of years ago to observe the blue dragon's final experiences.
At last, she saw the blue dragon while he was still alive, grievously wounded and on the brink of death, swimming back from the depths of chaos toward the rift.
Knowing that death was inevitable, he used every last bit of strength to let out a final mournful cry, sending word that the mission had failed. His closed eyes never opened again.
Bai Yujun continued rewinding time, following the blue dragon back into the chaos beyond the primordial wilderness.
Sure enough, Chaos God-Demons existed. Their forms were bizarre and their natures brutal. Only then did she learn that the expedition had consisted of three dragons. They had encountered a group of Chaos God-Demons amid the Chaos Dust outside the rift. There had never been any possibility of peaceful coexistence between them. The chaos creatures showed no willingness to communicate whatsoever; upon meeting, they slaughtered each other. Chaos God-Demons sounded terrifying, but they ranged from strong to weak. The three giant dragons were overwhelmingly powerful, almost carrying out a one-sided massacre.
The battle had lasted astonishingly long.
By the reckoning of primordial wilderness time, the three dragons had fought the endlessly appearing Chaos God-Demons for at least twelve years.
Creatures wandering through the nearby chaos kept gathering from all directions.
When the slaughter reached its end, the thing they feared most still happened. The ripples of battle drew five powerful Chaos God-Demons.
The three dragons guessed that their target might be the primordial wilderness. Although the dragon race had been driven out, they would never bring disaster back to the primordial wilderness.
