Blind Spot

Chapter 639: 587 causality three

Unknown region of the Black Sea.

A giant humanoid figure floated in mid-air like a massive floating island, surrounded by numerous black specks resembling flying insects.

If anyone could get close enough for a detailed look, they would realize that these black specks were actually giant blind spots that should have been immense in size.

Countless black blind spots danced like dust around the giant’s nostrils and mouth with every breath it took.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a black three-headed giant bird appeared out of nowhere above the giant, looking down upon it.

The giant bird was much larger than the blind spots, but compared to the giant, it was at most the size of a palm.

"Yuan An, His Majesty is about to awaken, and a Hundred Flowers General has disappeared without a trace; you need to investigate this matter," instructed the three-headed giant bird.

"Don’t pressure me with His Majesty’s name; I hate your tone..." the giant slowly opened its mouth, its vast breath scattering countless blind spots and emitting a terrifying vibration wave.

"You can choose not to go," said the three-headed bird coldly. "In this era, the Source of Evil will once again be purified, and the Royal’s City will be restored, marking the epoch where we will rule over everything. When His Majesty starts his inspection..."

"Are you threatening me?!" The giant lifted its hand and reached for the three-headed bird.

In such a scale, its motion seemed slow, but the distance it moved every second far exceeded the speed of light, annihilating swathes of blind spots with its hand’s touch.

Despite being small blind spots, they all exhibited their terrifying proportions and power.

Pop!

The three-headed bird was easily crushed and exploded into countless purple shadows.

But quickly, a new three-headed bird appeared on the other side of the giant.

"Make your choice," the giant bird turned to leave, dispersing into numerous purple shadows before the giant’s hand could reach it again.

Earth-Moon.

Everything returned to normal, and time resumed its flow.

Li Chengyi hovered in mid-air, feeling that the terrifying stasis that had immobilized his entire body had truly disappeared.

His tightly wound heart also finally relaxed. When he had barely been able to move, he kept a close eye on the situation, several times nearly unable to resist donning the Divine Flower Gourmet and resisting.

He had not anticipated Tian Ju Pavilion’s true dominance; the old Taoist who had transmitted the message didn’t even ask why, directly dispersing the mysterious shadow on the spot.

His emotions rose and fell greatly, but in the instant that everything resumed flowing, he momentarily lost sight of the old Taoist.

Obviously, the other party had no intention of letting him know that this had happened. Without saying a word, that person had already left.

This unique attitude of not asking where you come from, not caring about your identity, not babbling, just killing first and asking later made Li Chengyi realize for the first time just how arrogant the headquarters of Tian Ju Pavilion really was.

While floating in mid-air, momentarily lost for words, he originally disliked such unreasonable powers the most, but at this moment, when he became one of their number, he couldn’t help but feel two words rise from the bottom of his heart.

Delightful!

’The key question is, who was that shadow?! The Royal’s City of Primordial Soil... could it be the Flower Emperor of the previous generation attempting to make a comeback?’ After his emotions surged, Li Chengyi quickly began to ponder the identity of the shadow from just before.

He was attacked out of the blue, and the assailant actually came from the source of the Evil Flower, the Primordial King City.

Recalling when he had summoned the building of King City, an original version option appeared out of nowhere.

Li Chengyi’s expression suddenly became grim.

The difference between the original version and the other versions was the risk warning, which meant that if he failed the eligibility test and couldn’t unlock the original version, he wouldn’t even know if there were any risks.

Quite clearly, The First Generation or the Second Generation might have laid a significant trap for their descendants.

Looking at it now, The First Generation Flower Emperor and the Second Generation Flower Emperor had possibly made some preemptive arrangements.

If it hadn’t been for the intervention of the Taoist from Tian Ju Pavilion just now, he might have donned the Divine Flower Gourmet and desperately fought the figure.

The Divine Flower Gourmet’s amplification was strong, but the adversary was clearly a Saint-position powerhouse, freezing space-time with their action, giving them too great an advantage.

If a real battle had broken out, it would be difficult to determine who would win or lose.

According to the Yin Canon, a Saint was an existence capable of easily destroying a common blind spot.

And he, when wearing the Divine Flower Gourmet, could only just manage to do so.

With this in mind, Li Chengyi felt a deep gratitude for that Taoist.

No matter what, if he had fought that shadow, whether he won or lost, Earth-Moon could have suffered significant damage.

Immediately, he cupped his fists in gratitude towards his surroundings.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

He spread his consciousness power rapidly, extending it outwards in all directions.

No matter what, the other party had given him significant assistance, so it was best to thank them first and then find an opportunity to return the favor.

After expressing his thanks, Li Chengyi looked down at the many subordinates emerging from the base, instructing them to return.

He then returned in front of the Tower of Wisdom, gazing at the seemingly simple white tower.

’Although I don’t know why that guy suddenly attacked me, it’s likely related to the Evil Flower. At my level, my power is far from theirs; the only thing that might interest them is this...’.

He subconsciously caressed the mark on his hand.

"Bai Lu," just then, a familiar voice of the ethereal Taoist from before resounded by his ear.

"You have passed the preliminary selection, and an envoy from Silent Oblivion City will soon arrive. Prepare for your departure."

"Senior, can one return from Silent Oblivion City?" Li Chengyi asked anxiously.

"Silent Oblivion City is situated on the true inner side and is a small world under its jurisdiction. It is a special place only accessible to the most outstanding newcomers from various branches of Tian Ju Pavilion. Returning is quite troublesome, it requires advance application, and it’s mostly under lock-down."

After pausing, the Taoist continued.

"Of course, if you really want to return, fearful of delaying matters, you can apply to slow down the space-time of the world you are in, or you can directly return to the moment after you left. However, both methods will consume a considerable amount of merit points."

"Thank you, Senior, may I ask for your esteemed name?" Li Chengyi hurriedly said.

"Xuan Yunzi."

"I’ll remember that," Li Chengyi seriously replied.

"Remember to keep away from the secular world, after all, there is no need to spend your achievements on such places," Xuan Yunzi reminded.

"Yes."

Silence resumed around them, and Li Chengyi stood up, sighing deeply.

’It’s time to leave and quickly determine the Divine Flower General.’

Once the twelve positions for the Divine Flower Generals were allocated, he could further stabilize the power of his forces; the roles of the generals were also directly proportional to his strength.

The stronger he became, the more powerful the Divine Flower Generals would be, meaning that their survival rate, including that of Rainbow Candy and the others, would be significantly increased.

’And there’s the summoning of the buildings.’ Initially, Li Chengyi thought of finishing the summoning as soon as possible to establish a new base and restore the Royal’s City.

But now, it seemed that summoning them prematurely, with insufficient strength on his side, would make it impossible to protect them.

It would be better to wait and summon them later.

Having made his decision, he immediately took action.

First, to visit the Star Spirit Garden and confirm Rainbow Candy as the second Divine Flower General, followed by Da Xiong, Xiao Zhong, the injured Dragon Gate Crane, as well as his senior brother, Huo Qingkong, and Chen Jiahan.

In Suiyang City Area, he found Xindela and Paine, who were supervising construction, to confirm their qualifications.

Nine qualifications were distributed; three remained. Unlike the Floral Beads, there were only twelve fixed positions for the qualifications.

The last three qualifications, Li Chengyi planned to keep in hand, to be bestowed upon those who proved worthy of trust.

Before leaving, he went to visit his parents and sister.

Li Zhao and Feng Yurong were holding their grandson in the yard, enjoying the sunshine and each other’s company.

His sister, Li Chengjiu, heavily pregnant, was chatting with her brother-in-law in the study.

She had completely stepped down from her role and no longer served as a Feiyi Master.

The once mighty Feiyi Master now appeared no different from an ordinary person in the eyes of today’s Li Chengyi.

He stood outside the door, not entering but concealing himself in the shadows, silently watching them.

"I wonder when Xiao Yi can come back... it’s been such a long time since we last saw him."

Suddenly, Feng Yurong, holding her grandson, sighed.

"He’s a big shot now; so many people’s life and safety depend on him. He must be incredibly busy every day; don’t think too much," Li Zhao consoled his wife with understanding.

"Sigh... What’s so great about being a big shot... he can’t even find the time to visit home. This child... the more capable he becomes, the further he flies away, and then we can’t even catch a glimpse of him. I feel it would be better if he weren’t so talented, then he’d have to rely on us and stay right before our eyes, safe and sound..."

"What do you know! If it weren’t for Xiao Yi, would we have the safety we do now?" Li Zhao, who had experienced the tumultuous events of the Earth-Moon cataclysm, was fearful and knew that the current peace was hard-won.

"I was just saying," Feng Yurong pinched the little face of her grandchild. "And Xiao Yi, I don’t know who he will end up with in the future. I think that Zhou Xingtong isn’t bad; she’s his secretary, and they are often together. Maybe something could develop. That girl is sincere, hardworking, smart..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Xiao Yi is much more capable than us, and he surely has his own plans," Li Zhao now evidently became a fan of his son, defending him in any conversation.

Watching the two of them return indoors with the child, Li Chengyi didn’t linger any longer; he sighed in his heart and with a flash of dark light, vanished on the spot.

Leaving home.

He strolled along the streets of the city area, still under reconstruction.

The flow of people passing by, though mostly dressed in tattered clothes, no longer had a numb expression on their faces but one filled with hope.

Aircraft continuously swept back and forth above while patrol vehicles, resembling flying motorcycles, zipped around at high speed.

Everything seemed full of vitality.

But to Li Chengyi, it all felt incredibly fragile.

The seemingly prosperous scene was sustained by the strength of his own person and the Mingyuan Group.

"Oh dear." Suddenly, a colorful children’s ball rolled and bumped into his boots.

A toddler, about two or three years old, waddled over unsteadily.

"My ball!"

Barely able to stand, the child ran over to grab the ball.

With a single touch from Li Chengyi, the ball clung to his fingers as if stuck there and was lifted.

"Here."

He handed over the ball, which left the little child stunned.

"Thank you," the child’s mother approached from behind, quickly thanking him.

"No need," Li Chengyi said, seeing that she wore a brand-new white-collar ensemble, and couldn’t help but ask.

"Did you just move to Suiyang?" He detected hints of a different region in her accent.

"Yes, we’re from another province. After all, the monsters are getting more numerous, right? The biohazard leaks are getting more severe. We fled several refugee bases outside, all of which were overrun. Finally, we moved here."

The child’s mother helplessly adjusted her hair, sighing.

"Is it better here?" Li Chengyi asked.

"Yes, it’s much better than other places. The surrounding government troops have also become much stronger. It’s said that surviving members of the Royal Family of Yi Country are on their way here too. Many other regions can no longer hold out. The defense army organized by the Mingyuan Group in partnership with the government has become a lot more powerful. I just hope it can remain stable here."

"It definitely will," Li Chengyi nodded.

"I hope so. Excuse me, I have something to attend to, so I must be going," the child’s mother sighed and smiled at Li Chengyi.

"Sure," Li Chengyi nodded, not adding anything more.

As he watched the mother and child leave, he turned around and continued on his way.

Yet within his heart, he harbored an indescribable sentiment.
