Chapter 1024: Chapter 543: Touring the River of Time

Time flows gently by, more than a year has passed since the third catastrophe tide.

Within the protective range of the Oasis City Wall, the hundred domains enjoy a relatively stable environment, but outside the walls, other Great Domains have deteriorated continuously, becoming extremely perilous and inhospitable.

These conditions are not much different from those on the fringes of the Ghastly Realm.

Perhaps the power of the Evil God is reviving, as more and more of its minions emerge from the Ghastly Realm and settle in the Northern, Eastern, Western, and Southern Guai Realms, establishing their tribes and empires within various Great Domains.

The skirmishes among the Evil God factions are bloody and ruthless, but their slaughter of beings in the Guai Realm is even more cruel.

Outside the Oasis City Wall, no oasis remains. To the servants of the Evil God, the oasis is too conspicuous, and no matter how well it is hidden, it will be discovered. Even the hidden refuges created by the Old Ones seem to be becoming unsafe as well.

A message is circulating among the Old Ones: the hidden refuges are being breached, swarmed by the Evil God’s minions and servants, who cruelly kill the Old Ones and offer their blood in sacrifice to the Evil God.

Suddenly, every Old One feels imperiled.

Resistance is futile. Even if they could defeat and kill some of the Evil God’s servants, stronger followers would come after them, and resistance would only accelerate their demise.

All they can do is hide far away.

But the infinite cosmos outside the Guai Realm is no safer. If discovered by the powerful of the Evil God’s faction, they would have nowhere to flee.

Where can they hide? Only in the hundred domains sheltered by the Oasis City Wall.

Some Old Ones have taken refuge in this region, creating simple hidden refuges, while others, reluctant to exhaust themselves building anew, have entered human cities to reside temporarily.

And some of the Old Ones...

"The Master of the Abyssal Depths and the Foolish Elder have already left this universe," said the Great Sun God Honourable.

These two were among the top-tier Old Ones, their prestige even slightly surpassing the three of them.

"We should leave too. Otherwise, when the Evil God truly awakes, it might be too late."

He looked towards the Moon Lord and the Lord of the Myriad Stars.

There were another twenty or thirty Old Ones who followed them.

The faces of these Old Ones showed their bafflement about the future. After all, beyond the universe lies the true ’nothingness’: no passage of time, no concept of space, where they may wander for thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years and encounter nothing.

Even if they would not perish due to the depletion of their power, they might still go mad.

Old Ones accustomed to pleasure find it hard to accept such a future. Even those few who are willing to endure the hardships of asceticism are not willing to face it. Normally, time flies during cultivation, but outside of the universe, they can’t even practice their cultivation.

Who knows, there might be greater terrors beyond the universe, which could simply engulf them.

Isn’t the Evil God from beyond the universe?

But they have no choice.

One option is imminent death, the other, at least, is to fight for a slim hope.

"Moon Lord, you’re hesitating," the Great Sun God Honourable remarked, "That’s not like you."

The Moon Lord sighed, "Indeed I’m hesitating, contemplating whether to leave this universe or to stay and fight."

Hmm?

The Great Sun God Honourable and the Lord of the Myriad Stars looked puzzled.

They thought the Moon Lord’s hesitation was due to nostalgia for her homeland. They too found it hard to let go.

But why would the Moon Lord entertain such a foolish thought to stay and struggle?

Could it be that she is contaminated by the Evil God, and losing control?

The two great power wielders’ expressions subtly shifted.

"Is the disappearance of the Lord of the Nine Seas related to Flamefire? But even Flamefire that can cause the fall of the Lord of the Nine Seas, is still far from touching the Evil God. Moon Lord, abandon such naive thoughts!"

The Moon Lord shook her head slightly; she knew it was futile to say anything at this point.

Weren’t her thoughts in the past just as resolute?

She extended her hand slightly and in the palm, the dazzling brilliance of sovereign power emerged, grasping infinite might.

Many of the Old Ones were perplexed, not understanding the meaning of this.

The Lord of the Myriad Stars’ gaze sharpened, "Moon Lord... have you fully recovered?!" With his injuries, he was unable to exert his full power, let alone act as if it was effortless.

The same was true for the Moon Lord!

Even if the Moon Lord hadn’t fully recovered, she was close to complete recovery.

The power of the scepter dispersed, with not a trace of contamination.

But how did she manage it?

The Lord of the Myriad Stars had spent years struggling, only slightly diminishing a small part of the Evil God’s taint.

"No, not just fully recovered, but you’ve advanced further! Is this also related to Flamefire?"

"Indeed, this is related to Flamefire," the Moon Lord paused, then said, "After all, I’ve resided in the City of Raging Flame for a few months and gained some rewards."

You call this a slight gain?

No wait, you’ve only been there for a few months, is that long?

If it weren’t for their dignity, both the Great Sun God Honourable and the Lord of the Myriad Stars would have their mouths twitching—it took hundreds of years for beings like them at the pinnacle of their paths to eradicate contamination or advance further, not months.

A few months, what kind of joke is this?

But the Moon Lord has truly recovered, they wouldn’t mistake that. Besides, Flamefire is, after all, the miraculous force that created the Oasis City Wall and is on par with the wonders of the Candela Empire. It’s not outrageous that they might have achieved something more.

Just moderately outrageous, then.
