Old Friend? Black Wind!

[You didn't use a clone just now.]

[Actually, all nine attacks were launched by you alone.]

[You're just too fast.]

[You're so fast it feels like you're in nine different places at once.]

[This is a Movement Method!]

[This is a brand new Divine Art you comprehended after combining the Divine Travel Divine Ability with the fifth-grade Law Technique <Seven Divine Steps of the Starry Sky>.]

[You named it -- "Quantum Ghost Steps"!]

[Once this Divine Art is activated, your Movement Method will become as fast as a ghost, leaving afterimages everywhere.]

[Each afterimage can be your true self, because these afterimages are left behind when you slow down at a certain moment.]

[Slowing down is obviously for the purpose of attacking.]

[So it gives the impression that you are attacking from multiple directions at the same time.]

[The Earth-Binding Ghost Chain successfully bound the nine individuals at the Desolate Realm together, restricting their movements.]

[But this obviously cannot last.]

[If the nine of them work together, the Earth-Binding Ghost Chain will definitely be destroyed.]

[You want to take this opportunity to finish them off in one fell swoop.]

[But this is a risky move.]

[Because your destructive power may not be enough to effectively kill the opponent against their various defenses, such as Divine Art, Spirit Treasure, and Divine Pattern.]

[If we fail to kill all nine of them, we'll miss our best chance to escape.]

["Brother Chen! Let's go! A hundred miles to the west, there's a solitary mountain where an old friend of yours is waiting for you! He can lead you away from Blaze Star!!"]

"An old friend?"

"Hurry! I'll cover your retreat!"

"Senior Shen, you..."

[You suddenly see Shen Yifeng slap his own dantian, pulling out his Origin Core!]

[You may not understand this move, but you can imagine it's definitely not a good thing.]

[Whoosh!]

[You used the Quantum Ghost Steps, transforming into countless afterimages, and vanished from the Star Harbor battlefield in the blink of an eye.]

[Shen Yifeng's loud laughter came from behind.]

["Hahaha! I, Shen Yifeng! I've lived a cowardly life under the rule of Alien Race!! This is the moment I've been waiting for!! Death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai!!!"]

[And the terrified cries of the nine Alien Race leaders who were destroying the Desolate Realm Earth-Binding Ghost Chain.]

"Stop!! You're Madman!!"

["It's the forbidden Law Technique Origin Core Detonation! Get away from him! If you get too close, you'll be blown up!!"]

"Forget about this broken chain! Run!!"

"Run to the left!!"

["On the right!!"]

["Hey! Keep going forward!!"]

[Nine Desolate Realm, nine different thoughts.]

[By the time they reached a consensus, it was too late.]

[A ray of light, so bright it dimmed the sunlight, shone from the earth; a billowing mushroom cloud climbed ten thousand meters into the sky, startling away the endless white clouds.]

["Boom!!!!!"]

Shen Yifeng perished along with the enemy.

[Throughout his life, he maintained a small, obscure Human Race, barely surviving under the rule of Alien Race sect.]

With his cultivation level, he could easily retreat into the deep mountains and live a carefree and happy life.

But he didn't.

[It was nothing more than a single thought to save all living beings.]

Unfortunately, I don't have that much ability; I can only do my best.

[He used forbidden Law Technique to detonate his own Origin Core, killing both the enemy and many friendly soldiers.]

[But no one will blame him.]

[Because everyone involved in this operation had signed a waiver of liability before setting off.]

[Born, blessed by Heaven.]

[To die for the continuation of one's race is to have no regrets before Heaven and Earth.]

In a world where immortality reigns supreme, strength represents power.

If all Human Race were mortals, they would be reduced to nothing more than ants.

[Only by preserving the talents capable of cultivation can we sow the seeds of hope for the future.]

[It is precisely because our predecessors have always done this that the torch has been passed down, allowing some Human Race sects to still exist on Blaze Star today.]

If people today do not emulate those of the past, then what are people today?

[You stand a hundred miles away, the light from the Origin Core Detonation shining on your face.]

"It's happening again..."

[This applies to both the Fortune Star and the Blaze Star.]

Your fists are clenched tightly.

[You know perfectly well that this is not a problem with the Fortune Star, nor with the Blaze Star, nor with the Winged God Sect, nor with the Three Great Sects.]

[There's something wrong with this world!]

[The boundless Cangqiong, the vast universe, the myriad races of heaven and earth, yet none can accommodate the Human Race?!]

[Where exactly did things go wrong!]

[Your gaze extends into the void, piercing through time and space, and once again meets the gaze of your counterpart outside the simulation.]

In reality.

Chen Yi was watching the simulation exercise in his own yard.

Seeing this left me feeling quite uneasy.

Although it was just a simulation, it revealed a larger truth: in the vast Real Realm, the Human Race's situation is likely similar everywhere.

Stories far more tragic and heartbreaking than what they experienced in the simulations happen every day.

"Brother, we will definitely find out why all this happened, and we will try our best to live and make the most of our lives."

[You turn to climb the mountain, and as you approach the summit, you sense a familiar presence.]

["It seems like..."]

You seem a little unsure.

[Until we reached the summit and saw that black steed.]

"Black Wind?!"

"Boss!!"

[After a fierce battle, covered in blood, you embraced Black Wind by the neck, and they held each other tightly.]

"Black Wind, what are you doing on Blaze Star?"

[The year you embarked on the Ascension Path, you sent Black Wind to the Real Realm on the Ascension Path the following year.]

[You know Black Wind will definitely come to the Real Realm, but the Real Realm is so vast, and there are so many forks in the Ascension Path, you have absolutely no hope of reuniting with Black Wind in this lifetime.]

[Life has given you an unexpected surprise.]

[Black Wind tells you that after he came up from the Ascension Path, he didn't appear directly on Blaze Star.]

[Instead, we arrived at a place called Water Grass Star.]

[That habitable planet is covered in grasslands, so Black Wind won't have to worry about food there.]

No intelligent races reside on the Water Grass Star, but caravans occasionally travel there to gather resources.

[The Black Wind was discovered by a caravan.]

"They say I'm Ancient Divine Beast."

["Ancient Divine Beast? Oh my, Black Wind, I knew you were powerful. You're clearly a unique being!"]

["There are countless people like me in another local galaxy..."]

"Yes, I see."

[Black Wind belongs to the Dragon Scale Horse Clan, which is further subdivided into the Soul Horse Race.]

[The Dragon Person Race, Winged Race, Human Race, and Demon Race are all part of the same race, called the "Humanoid Race."]

[You are currently in a galaxy called the Heaven River Galaxy. The Dragon Scale Horse is in another galaxy, at an unimaginable distance.]

"That caravan respected me a lot. They said the Dragon Scale Horse Clan was very powerful and they wanted to make a good connection with them. They asked if I was lost on the Water Grass Star and if I wanted to take their Star Boat to find my compatriots."

So I boarded their Star Boat and traveled to many planets along the way.

Not long ago, we arrived at Blaze Star.

I heard there's Human Race here who once killed Dragon Person Race at the Heaven-Reaching Realm while only at the Core Formation Realm. It sounds a lot like our leader's style, so I stayed and inquired about him everywhere..."

I'll be live on Douyin tonight at 8 PM. Everyone's welcome to join the chat and watch!
