Zi Yuan
The story Yun Xi had just told him about the Terror God King Fiend and the Eternal Supreme of the Abnormal Race struck his heart like a heavy hammer, making him realize the seriousness of the situation.
His gaze gradually shifted from initial anger and doubt to a deep and steady one, like a calm lake, undisturbed yet unfathomable.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, a smile that carried a hint of apology and a touch of gratitude towards Yun Xi.
He took a step forward, leaning slightly forward with a humble posture, and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Thank you for your reminder earlier, young lady, which saved me from a great disaster. My name is Zi Yuan, what is your name?"
Seeing the change in Zi Yuan's attitude, Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior Zi Yuan, you're Yun Xi kind. It's my honor to fight alongside you. The situation was critical just now, and I didn't have time to explain in detail. I hope you don't mind."
"Haha, Miss Yun Xi, don't say you mind. It was my impulsiveness that almost caused a big mistake. If you hadn't stopped me in time, we would probably be in trouble today."
At the same time, when Yun Xi heard his name, her heart skipped a beat, and she finally remembered where Zi Yuan's face looked familiar.
Yun Xi frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on Zi Yuan's face, scrutinizing him carefully.
As she gazed at him, Zi Yuan's face gradually became clearer in her vision. His high nose bridge, deep eyes, and resolute jawline gave her a sense of déjà vu.
In a daze, a flash of inspiration struck Yun Xi. She finally remembered that Zi Yuan's face looked familiar. That familiar outline was extremely similar to that of the Zi Yue Prefecture Lord.
Yun Xi's heart was filled with turmoil. She secretly wondered: Could Zi Yuan also be a person from the Purple Abyss Divine Realm? If that were the case, then there might be some special relationship between them.
Yun Xi looked at Zi Yuan, her lips slightly parted, as if she was about to ask a question, but she swallowed the words back. She was worried that her guess was too abrupt, and it wouldn't be good if she guessed wrong.
So she decided to try a more tactful approach. She cleared her throat, put on a friendly smile, and said, "Senior Zi Yuan, I find your face somewhat familiar. It reminds me of a senior from the Purple Abyss Divine Realm. I wonder if you know anything about the Purple Abyss Divine Realm?"
"The Purple Abyss Divine Realm? Purple Abyss..."
When Yun Xi mentioned the Purple Abyss Divine Realm, a hint of surprise flashed in Zi Yuan's originally calm eyes. He was slightly stunned, as if something had suddenly struck the softest part of his heart.
His gaze became somewhat unfocused, his thoughts suddenly drifting back to 100,000 years ago, to that era filled with passion and fervor. In his memory, the Purple Abyss Strange Domain was where he was born and raised, a place filled with his childhood laughter and tears, his familiar relatives and friends, and every detail of his cultivation journey.
It was a land full of life and hope. Although it was just a strange place, it was an invaluable treasure in his heart.
Zi Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He looked at Yun Xi with a hint of questioning and expectation in his eyes, and slowly said, "I was born in the Purple Abyss Strange Domain. Could it be that the Purple Abyss Strange Domain has been promoted to a God Domain?" Although his voice was steady, Yun Xi could hear a hint of tension and excitement hidden in it.
Looking at Zi Yuan's expectant eyes, Yun Xi couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. She nodded gently and said firmly, "Yes, several years ago, the Purple Abyss Strange Domain was already promoted to a divine realm." Her words struck Zi Yuan's heart like a heavy hammer.
When the Purple Abyss Strange Domain was promoted to a Divine Realm, it was also the time when Yun Xi Becoming a God.
Zi Yuan's body trembled slightly, a hint of surprise and pride flashing in his eyes. The fact that Purple Abyss Strange Domain could advance to a God Domain was an incredible achievement! It meant that over the past 100,000 years, Purple Abyss Strange Domain had overcome countless hardships and obstacles, continuously developing and growing stronger, and finally gaining a higher level of recognition.
His thoughts began to drift away, imagining what the Purple Abyss Divine Realm would be like now.
After regaining his senses, he frankly said, "Yun Xi, to be honest, I left the Godfall Continent a hundred thousand years ago and just came here."
Upon hearing Zi Yuan's words, Yun Xi's heart surged like a stormy sea. Ten thousand years was an extremely long time even for a God-King.
Looking into Zi Yuan's deep, somewhat weathered eyes, a strong sense of curiosity welled up within her. Where had this powerful senior, Zi Yuan, gone after leaving the continent for a hundred thousand years?
However, since it has been 100,000 years since then, it is probably no longer a close relative of the Zi Yue Prefecture Lord, after all, the Zi Yue Prefecture Lord is not even 10,000 years old.
Perhaps, this Senior Zi Yuan is an ancestor of Zi Yue Prefecture Lord?
Zi Yuan slightly raised his head, his gaze passing over Yun Xi, looking at the distant sky dyed crimson by the blood-red sunset, and murmured, "So much time has passed..." This sigh seemed to carry his 100,000 years of wandering and vicissitudes, the loneliness, confusion and perseverance of those long years, all subtly revealed in this short sentence.
After a while, Zi Yuan withdrew his gaze and focused on Yun Xi, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry. He asked, "So, you are also from the Purple Abyss Divine Realm?" His voice was deep and magnetic, echoing through the somewhat quiet mountain region.
Yun Xi met Zi Yuan's gaze without flinching and said frankly, "Yes and no. Although my current household registration is in the Purple Abyss Divine Realm, my hometown is not actually here."
No matter what, Yun Xi will never forget that her hometown is Blue Star, the place that raised her. No matter where she is or how much time has passed, this will never change.
Zi Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
Then he remembered the precious treasure Yun Xi from the Blood Rock Mountain Domain before.
Zi Yuan coughed slightly and said with a somewhat serious expression, "By the way, Miss Yun Xi, the precious treasure you just took..." He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
In his view, honest communication was the best approach. He didn't feel embarrassed about asking about this treasure, after all, he was the first to discover it in the Red Rock Mountain region, and although Yun Xi later acquired it, he still had the right to know.
Yun Xi slightly taken aback by Zi Yuan's words. She had been lost in thought about the relationship between Zi Yuan and the Zi Yue Prefecture Lord, but Zi Yuan's sudden question pulled her back to reality.
