Dan Heng endured the searing pain in his body and staggered over to Stelle's side.
He shook Stelle hard, but she showed no response.
Dan Heng lowered his head and saw that Stelle was covered in wounds.
Several horrifying gashes deep enough to expose bone were still steadily bleeding.
Dan Heng himself had also suffered grievous injuries.
He knew very well that the carriage was still burning, and the flames were releasing lethal toxic fumes.
His hands trembling, Dan Heng first carried Stelle outside.
Then he hurriedly checked her over again and again.
Stelle still showed no signs of breathing.
Dan Heng's face was instantly filled with panic.
Next, he used the last of his strength to stop Stelle's bleeding.
Afterward, he anxiously checked for her breath again.
Stelle still had no breath. Her body was cold, like a lifeless corpse.
But he did not give up, treating Stelle over and over...
Until a chunk of rubble loosened from a broken pillar beside him and fell.
It smashed brutally into the back of Dan Heng's head, knocking him unconscious.
Only then did Dan Heng stop trying to save Stelle's "corpse."
The scene on the Sky Screen looked rather tragic.
But Dan Heng, caught up in the situation at the time, had no mind to examine it closely.
They could tell that Stelle's bleeding had not been stopped at all.
Her blood had clearly already drained away.
Dan Heng, who had come to Amphoreus together with Stelle—
What kind of despair had he felt then, trying to stop the bleeding and save a corpse?
In the end, he had been so frantic that he failed to notice the pillar beside him collapsing, and was knocked unconscious on the spot.
Stelle had died just like that.
Quite a few viewers could not help but feel deeply regretful.
She had only just arrived in another world and had not even properly set foot there before losing her life.
Stelle looked up at the sky, her eyes brimming with emotion.
She gave Dan Heng a thumbs-up. "Good brother!"
"Is he the reincarnation of Dan Feng that Blade is always talking about?"
Firefly leaned her head against Stelle's chest. Watching the scene of Stelle's death no longer seemed quite so frightening.
"Lord Dan Heng... he cares so deeply for the companions around him. Seeing you die before his eyes, his heart must have..."
Castorice placed a hand over her chest, her face filled with sorrow as she sighed again and again.
Mimi said with a relieved expression, "Fortunately, their companion exists in Amphoreus in the form of a memetic entity. Otherwise... Dan Heng's journey ahead would have been so lonely and agonizing."
On Douluo Continent, someone's eyes narrowed upon seeing Stelle's stockings, before they burst into laughter.
"Fake! Your strength is indeed all fake!"
"You died just from falling out of the sky!"
"Your companion is even more ridiculous—he actually got knocked out by a rock!"
"I'd say he couldn't even dodge a single sleeve arrow from me!"
Inside the hotel, Tang San watched the scene on the Sky Screen, a nearly crazed expression appearing on his face.
The fear he had felt before vanished completely.
All that remained was bone-deep hatred.
Once he made the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons, he would definitely make Stelle understand just how formidable he was!
As for his father Tang Hao being beaten to death by Stelle with a single strike of her bat?
Tang San had already come up with an explanation—the Martial Soul and Soul Power system in this world was simply too pathetic.
That was why Tang Hao had been unable to defeat Stelle.
But Tang San came from another world and possessed the incomparably powerful techniques of the Tang Sect.
He believed that as long as he made a few of the Hidden Weapons recorded in the Tang Sect's techniques...
When the time came, Stelle and everyone around her would all face his ruthless revenge!
There were actually quite a few people who doubted Stelle's strength.
The elders and worshippers of Spirit Hall gathered together, beginning to argue and discuss Stelle's abilities.
Some felt that Stelle's power was merely so-so.
It looked simple enough, possessing only a few rather fantastical special abilities.
For example, she could use the power of Finality to alter her companions' fates.
That was indeed quite powerful.
But others believed that Stelle's actual combat ability was truly nothing special.
A single spear could kill her—she was simply too weak.
At most, she only possessed the strength of a Title Douluo.
At that point, some people immediately began entertaining malicious thoughts.
They wanted to capture Stelle and bring her under their control.
They would find a way to seize that so-called Finality Divine Power from Stelle!
Of course, plenty of voices opposed the idea.
They believed that Stelle came from another world and that her strength was unfathomable.
Perhaps it was not that Stelle was too weak.
Rather, the enemies Stelle had encountered were simply too powerful.
Some people were able to explain it this way.
Someone said, "The Astral Express carriage that Stelle and Dan Heng rode in was once used by the Aeon of Trailblaze!"
"Throughout their Trailblazing journey, they travel to all kinds of dangerous worlds."
"The carriage's defensive systems must surely have numerous ways to handle every kind of extreme environment."
"Under normal circumstances, I believe it could easily withstand even a single strike from those so-called Emanators, with room to spare!"
"Yet after the train carriage entered Amphoreus, it was pierced through by a single attack and fell from the sky."
"That alone proves just how powerful the opponent's attack was!"
"It was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface!"
"If us Title Douluo elders or worshippers had gone there, even the aftershock of one of their attacks would probably have reduced us directly to a pile of ashes!"
Within Spirit Hall, everyone argued fiercely, each voicing their own opinions.
Only when the Grand Worshipper, Qian Daoliu, slowly stepped forward and released his oppressive aura were all the clamorous voices instantly and completely suppressed.
Qian Daoliu's gaze was profound. In truth, he had his own calculations as well.
How could he not wish to use Finality's divine power to return to the past and save his son, who had died young?
Or perhaps, from the very beginning, drive Yu Xiaogang out of Spirit Hall and deny him any chance to approach Bibi Dong.
But he was an upright man and had never been willing to do such things as taking advantage of another's vulnerability.
Moreover, even if Stelle's strength was not as unfathomable as everyone believed it to be, she still possessed, at the very least, combat power on the level of a Title Douluo.
And with Firefly, whom she had summoned, Spirit Hall would by no means have an easy time taking down the two of them.
What was more, Stelle's potential was immeasurable.
If they allowed such a powerful hidden danger to grow freely in the outside world, then one day, Spirit Hall would surely be destroyed by her own hands.
More importantly, Qian Daoliu could tell from the images on the Sky Screen
that the Astral Express Crew Stelle belonged to was by no means a group of vicious villains.
They explored unknown worlds one after another. Even knowing full well that the road ahead was fraught with danger, they still ventured into them without regard for life or death.
Their purpose was to allow those isolated worlds to connect with the stars.
Even Qian Daoliu could not help but feel admiration for that spirit of exploration and progress.
He even found himself faintly looking forward to whether Stelle's arrival on Douluo Continent was also part of a Trailblazing journey.
Perhaps she could allow Douluo Continent to connect with other worlds and gain entirely new, powerful strength.
But some people simply did not know how to use their brains.
Or perhaps they were simply far too blindly confident in themselves!
Yu Yuanzhen, the clan head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, raised his chin and strode directly out of the clan.
He intended to capture Stelle.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had once possessed quite a few geniuses, but they had all died in various accidents.
They had all held the potential to become Title Douluo. If their fates could have been changed through Finality Divine Power, then the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would definitely have more than just one Title Douluo now!
Quite a few other factions had suffered similar losses. They all wished to return to the past and save clansmen who had died under mysterious circumstances, or eliminate the powerful members of various clans ahead of time...
Even numerous Soul Beasts were eager to make a move, believing that if they ate Stelle, they would obtain all of her abilities...
