Chapter 755: Chapter 342: Before the World Ends_2

"Alright."

The Daoist gently exhaled.

He smiled wryly: "Perhaps I’m just too suspicious, always feeling that something is too fishy there. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and everything we gain comes at a price."

Amina blinked, "Actually, I’m a bit puzzled too."

"Puzzled about what?"

"It’s just," Amina pointed at herself, "the Core Circuit is the continuation of their civilization, and I am the holder of the Core Circuit. By right, shouldn’t I be the successor? Why would they choose you, a cultivator who has nothing to do with us, as the successor?"

Wang Jixuan nodded: "That’s reasonable. Anything else?"

Amina carefully recalled.

After the initial excitement passed, she calmed down and began to reflect on what she had seen and heard over the past few days.

The majestic city;

The magnificent subspace;

Various incredible spiritual technologies;

The harp swaying with the wind;

The excessively slender depictions and sculptures of ancient civilization humans;

And those eyes filled with a hint of resentment and helplessness...

Amina shook her head: "I can’t say much more, it felt empty there, like experiencing a collective funeral. Or maybe it was originally a place of refuge, but the disaster happened too quickly for the people outside to escape inside."

Wang Jixuan nodded, sitting there in thought for a long time.

He sighed: "Let’s check the situation first."

"How do we check the situation?"

"First close the interstellar gate. If everything goes smoothly, and there’s time to cultivate, then it will be enough for me to enhance myself."

The Daoist swept his sleeves and stood up:

"If the Blade Beast continues to strike, and we cannot resist, then we’ll have to take our chances there.

"One cannot do things half-heartedly, that’s one of the few principles my master taught me.

"Since I’m already involved in the affairs on Earth, naturally I can’t back out halfway."

"Wow," Red Snake exclaimed, "Teacher, you really are quite responsible."

Wang Jixuan shrugged with open hands: "My cultivation relies on exploiting the Blade Beast. If I don’t side with the opposing force of the Blade Beast, I will also be wiped out by the Blade Beast."

Red Snake:...

As if she didn’t praise!

...

After reporting to Wang Jixuan, Amina returned to her cold and high-profile demeanor and headed straight for the Arctic Circle.

Facing the Three Spirit Cultivators of the Bright Wings, she decided to take out twelve Spiritual Energy Circuits capable of effectively countering the Blade Beast. As for the rest...

In the past, how she was isolated, now she would naturally isolate back.

However, Amina was also quite pessimistic about one point.

This batch of ancient Spiritual Energy Circuits came too late;

The Spirit Cultivators were almost wiped out, and even with new support, their chances of victory were not great.

Moreover, to truly unleash the value of these Spiritual Energy Circuits, they would need to successfully leave Earth and find other Spirit Cultivators trapped in various places.

Amina was unsure of what lay ahead;

She was now like Wang Jixuan said, only able to take one step at a time.

After Amina left, Wang Jixuan hesitated repeatedly before inviting Gao Huating for lunch.

This was not a date, and the lunch was kept simple—two standard research institute lunchboxes on a low table, with them sitting on small stools, indulging in their meals.

However, Gao Huating still paid great attention to her image, eating her meals in small bites.

Wang Jixuan directly asked: "How do you feel about the soul of your previous life?"

"The feeling..."

Gao Huating responded softly:

"Very proud and very stubborn. It’s hard for me to counter what she has set her mind on, but she should be a kind person, that’s how she feels to me."

Wang Jixuan seemed somewhat preoccupied.

Gao Huating brushed her hair behind her ear and asked softly: "Is there a problem?"

Wang Jixuan responded: "She wants me to inherit the heritage of the ancient civilization, and I’m a bit afraid to go."

"Oh?"

Gao Huating pondered seriously.

She asked softly: "Will there be traps below?"

"I don’t know."

"Logically, she should just want to continue the flame of her civilization."

Gao Huating said:

"I haven’t communicated with her many times, if it weren’t for certain events, she would almost never appear.

"I thought I would receive her ability’s inheritance."

"In reality, though, she was more inclined for me to live as an ordinary person, without involvement in Spiritual Energy matters. I vaguely remember hearing her say...

"The path is wrong.

"Based on the Core Circuit instead of humanity itself, it became the source of all calamity. The sins they committed hundreds of thousands of years ago still affect this Star Domain today."

Wang Jixuan nodded thoughtfully.

He suddenly asked, "Do you eat meat?"

"Hmm?" Gao Huating blinked, "I don’t eat meat..."

The Daoist placed the untouched pieces of meat from her lunchbox into his own.

Gao Huating hurriedly picked out the meat in front of her.

Wang Jixuan shook his head with a smile: "I’ve been fasting. When I took your meat earlier, what did you think? Did it feel abrupt? Did you feel a sense of loss, even if just a little?"

Gao Huating blinked and nodded, somewhat understanding.

Master Wang sighed:

"It’s essentially the same concept; those things never belonged to me.

"If that lady had chosen a Spirit Cultivator or even an ordinary human—of course, logically, it should be you who inherits that Ancient Civilization—then I would have had no hesitation.

"These things are extensions of their civilization.

"But I’m just an outsider; she knows this clearly.

"She might have a favorable impression of a Cultivator, but at most it’s giving me a piece of meat, not the whole dish."

"True," Gao Huating said with a hint of loss, "Lady Amina said she wouldn’t be returning. I haven’t had the chance to properly bid her farewell."

Wang Jixuan suddenly felt an impulse to pat her head.

Like how a senior would care for a junior.

But it’s not quite appropriate due to the gender difference.

"Don’t overthink it," Master Wang said with a smile, "If I really have to descend later, it would definitely be to drag you as a human shield."

Gao Huating immediately laughed: "Then I shall gladly oblige."

"You truly want to be a human shield?"

"Willing to serve the Black Storm with all my might!"

"People like you in your past life might have died of rage."

"Well, she’s she, and I’m me," Gao Huating puffed her cheeks, "Becoming someone related to her is my honor, but becoming someone like her, I might not be able to do."

Wang Jixuan gave a thumbs up.

She always maintained a good mindset.

"Hurry and eat," Wang Jixuan placed his two pieces of meat back in front of her, "Later, I’ll arrange a tour for you named ’Before the World Ends.’

Gao Huating’s eyes shone brightly: "Where’s the tour going?"

"The military."

Wang Jixuan said without looking up:

"The great space battle is imminent; no one knows how many will die.

"Use your song to inspire the soldiers on the front line."

"Okay!" Gao Huating nodded vigorously, "I’ll immediately assemble a performance team and rehearse the repertoire, striving to depart tomorrow!"

The Daoist continued eating but had already made a plan in his mind.

This time, he should face danger head-on despite knowing it’s perilous.

But there’s no rush for that yet.

According to Amina’s calculations, they now have a 60-70% chance of closing the Star Sky Gate, worth a shot. Better to close the gate first and then assess the situation.

If there are no new Blade Beast Groups within a few years, Wang Jixuan doesn’t have to enter the Ancient Civilization, just continue drawing power from the Sixth Pillar.

What he’s afraid of now is the Blade Beasts causing new trouble for him.

...

Lingtong lay quietly in the cockpit of the lightweight Horror Mecha.

The mechanical arms and spine were fully integrated with the mecha’s control system, preparing for the upcoming space war.

Due to the microgravity environment of space, the Horror Mecha could carry more ammunition, turning it into a mobile arsenal, making Lingtong’s piloting skills increasingly crucial.

"How are you feeling?"

Ms. Wan asked softly.

"Good," Lingtong nodded, beginning to take deep breaths.

Scenes from daily training flashed through her mind, and Wang Jixuan’s smiling face suddenly surfaced, slightly distracting Lingtong.

Stay calm, stay calm.

She took a deep breath with determination, hearing the familiar dinging sound beside her ear, and immediately opened her eyes.

The cockpit had settled into the nape of the Horror Mecha, with the light curtains softly shimmering, revealing the deep starry sky outside and the dense, surging beast herd ahead.

"Full-line fire saturation delivery!"

Time: Fifteen days later.

The Star Sky Gate annihilation battle has fully commenced!
