Fate of the Immortals and Demons

Chapter 374 Three Days After Transmigration

"Ouroboros? A closed spacetime loop?"

Mo Hei suddenly seemed to understand something. After calming down and carefully recalling his time travel back three days, he realized:

"No wonder you stopped abruptly when you mentioned the Candlelight Crystal Flame to me, and Ma Liang also questioned me about the Candlelight Crystal Flame. The reason you asked me about the Candlelight Crystal Flame was because of that drop of Chilong essence blood that was about to give birth to a spirit, while Ma Liang did indeed see me."

Faced with Mo Hei's barrage of questions, the little evil dragon patiently explained:

"The reason I told you about the Candlelight Crystal Flame in my haste was because it was revealed by the essence blood of the dragon that gave birth to the spirit. After all, this involves the cause and effect of your time travel. In order to avoid revealing heavenly secrets and causing chaos in time and space, I dared not say more, lest I suffer karmic retribution."

"Is that really the case? If the little evil dragon had truly told me that I would travel through time and space back to three days before the Dragon Soul Ruins were opened, I would not have traveled through time after I found out."

Wouldn't this be tantamount to creating spacetime chaos? Without a closed loop, not only would Ma Liang fail to see me, but I would also lose the candle flame and let it fall into someone else's hands…”

As he pondered this, a chill ran down his spine, and cold sweat poured down his dark forehead as he felt a nameless panic and lingering fear.

Thinking even deeper, if he had never joined the Shushan Sword Sect in the Demon Realm, he would not have experienced the three trials of accepting disciples in the Immortal Tower and personally witnessed the events of the future.

In this way, wouldn't I be able to avoid the tragedy by knowing about Die'er's death in advance?

That's why he chose to travel with Ying Xuwei, and instead went to the Earth Spirit Realm with Die'er. He might only pass through the Earth Spirit Realm and head straight for the Heaven Spirit Realm.

If that's true, then there's absolutely no way I could have entered the Ice God Palace Ruins and reached the ninth-grade Foundation Establishment stage.

Furthermore, it is absolutely impossible for this Snow Crystal Flower to cause enmity with Mingfang, thereby making the prophecy come true.

This is similar to the prophetic story of killing one's father and marrying one's mother.

If this prophetic story had not existed beforehand, he would never have been abandoned by his own father.

Perhaps it was from the moment they made the decision to abandon their loved ones out of fear that the prophecy would come true.

This already foreshadowed that the prophecy would come true, and there was no going back.

As Mo Hei pondered the matter more deeply, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his face turned deathly pale.

However, is it really as Mohei imagined?

"You little rascal, look at you so scared. Don't think so much. If you're afraid that your life will be in danger after traveling through time and space, you might as well keep this second-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill in your mouth for when you need it."

As soon as Zhulong Linghuo finished speaking, he indeed threw the second-grade Heavenly Rank Spirit Pill directly to Mohei, who was in a daze.

The little dragon saw this but did not try to snatch it. Instead, it said in a deep voice:

"It's good that you take this pill, kid. This way, it might actually buy you some time to cover things up. After all, if it weren't for the pill's essence, how could these Nascent Soul stage old monsters have come looking for it based on such a small clue?"

Mo Hei, who had initially intended to decline, upon hearing this and weighing the options, decided that it would be impolite to refuse.

After a moment's hesitation, just in case, he actually put it in his mouth.

Knowing that time was of the essence, he calmed himself down, sat cross-legged, and opened his left palm.

Having already experienced time travel back to three days prior, this time they didn't seem at a loss or clueless.

"Chirp!"

In this state of spiritual communion and divine exchange, one can hear the sound of birdsong.

This little crimson bird degenerated into a light egg directly in the dark left palm.

As this luminous egg formed, not only that, but the Time Crystal, which existed in Mo Hei's left and right palms, suddenly shone brightly with red light in his left palm, gradually engulfing Mo Hei's figure and shadow.

"……Fake!"

In a daze, just as the darkness was about to be completely engulfed by the flames, he suddenly heard a voice that sounded like his own...

In the darkness, his subconscious gaze followed the sound, and he could vaguely see a blurry figure gradually solidifying within the red light…

Looking at himself, he was being gradually engulfed by the flames, his figure fading away as if vanishing into thin air...

Even so, Mo Hei could vaguely smell a trace of blood. Could it be that he himself had been seriously injured and traveled back in time...?

"That's my own voice. What do you mean it's fake? Is it shouting at me? Or something else?"

For a moment, Mo Hei was lost in thought, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

When Mo Hei slowly came to his senses from his confusion, he couldn't help but feel deeply surprised.

He found himself in the pitch-black night, on a calm and tranquil sea.

It was as if I had silently vanished from the darkness of the night.

However, the night was as dark as spilled ink, eerily devoid of any starlight.

And faintly, Mo Hei could sense a demonic aura in the pitch-black night.

"call out!"

Shortly afterward, accompanied by the sound of something cutting through the air, a figure suddenly appeared.

Unexpectedly, the moment he crossed through time and space and appeared, he was locked onto and discovered by divine sense.

"You are the Holy Son of the Immortal Realm?"

Unexpectedly, before Mo Hei could react, a woman's voice rang out.

Mo Hei remained noncommittal, but through his divine sense, he detected the woman's indifferent question.

Although she had a graceful figure, her face was heavily made up, making her almost unbearable to look at.

Almost instinctively, Mo Hei frowned slightly, his face showing disgust.

The heavily made-up woman immediately noticed and retorted with a mocking tone:

"What? Is my makeup not pretty enough? Or have you forgotten me, but I still remember what you look like..."

Mo Hei was speechless for a moment, wondering if the woman had suffered a shock and lost her mind.

"Fairy Lin Yan is truly skilled and quick to react. No wonder she descended from the Immortal Realm in less than three days."

As the voices spoke, a handsome young cultivator appeared, seemingly shrinking the distance between himself and the earth, and arrived with ease.

"Young Master Wuyou is too kind. I only got there first because of the blood bead bestowed by my master, which gave me some insight."

The woman, known as Fairy Lin Yan and heavily made up, deliberately took out a blood bead as she spoke these words.

"How is it so different from the blood bead that Butterfly held?"

Mo Hei saw this and was greatly shocked. His eyes, which were filled with doubt, looked at the heavily made-up woman.

"Shh! Shh!"

Just then, accompanied by two whooshing sounds, two cultivators, one old and one young, arrived almost simultaneously.

"The Celestial Palace and the Heavenly Court really arrived just in time!"

The young cultivator, known as the Carefree Young Master, looked at the two men with a natural smile on his face.

"It is said that Ying Xuwei volunteered for the mission, but returned defeated from the Underworld. Unexpectedly, the Immortal Palace sent you, such a greenhorn, to cross over to the other world this time."

As the two figures arrived simultaneously, the older cultivator was the first to speak with sarcasm.

On the other hand, this young cultivator, who looked no older than twenty, smiled kindly and said:

"Perhaps the Celestial Palace is well-versed in this matter, or perhaps it is because peers are easier to communicate and get along with, that they specially dispatched this junior to sincerely invite the Celestial Saint Son, as foretold, to go to the Celestial Palace for further study."

"This brat who speaks nonsense, since he is a holy son of the celestial realm, our Heavenly Court is determined to have him. I suppose Fairy Lin Yan must have already received permission from her master!"

The elderly cultivator, who was already at the Void Immortal stage, stated his position directly, his tone extremely forceful.

"Something terrible has happened, Lord Xinghun."

Just then, amidst the exclamations, Fairy Zixia, from the Void Spirit Sect of the Immortal Realm, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, appeared, her face pale, and reported:

"The demons of the Demon Realm have breached the spatial barrier in the Netherworld's Dark Flame Territory and have invaded the entire Southern Sea."

"understood."

This young cultivator, who was not yet twenty, was surprisingly calm and composed, as still as a deep well.

Along with Fairy Zixia, there was also an elderly cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage named Yue Shan, who was much more mature and composed. However, he still bowed respectfully to the elderly cultivator who was already at the Void Immortal stage and made a suggestion:

“Venerable Wu, the demons of the Demon Realm have come with overwhelming force, surely for this child. A great battle is imminent, and this land of Tiannanhai will surely cease to exist. Why not take this person away as soon as possible…”

"That's too late."

The elderly cultivator at the Void Immortal stage, known as Venerable Wu, shook his head slightly and then commanded:

"Yue Shan, keep an eye on this boy."

"Why don't you return my Demon Prince at once? What are you waiting for?"

With this imposing momentum and furious question, in Mo Hei's shocked and speechless eyes, a figure wielding a long halberd charged straight into the pitch-black night.

Behind him followed only a handful of people.

"They actually dispatched five powerful Heavenly Demon Realm experts at once. It seems the Demon Realm has really gone all out this time."

The young cultivator at the Void Immortal stage, who had been calm and composed and was respectfully addressed as Lord Star Soul by Fairy Zixia, was slightly moved upon seeing this scene. Before setting off to meet the enemy, he glanced at Mo Hei and spoke in a deep voice:

"I have high hopes for the Holy Son of the Celestial Realm."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Fairy Zixia moved swiftly, and together with Yue Shan, she and Mo Hei stood guard and protected him closely on the left and right.

"What exactly... could this be what will happen in three days...?"

Protected by two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Mo Hei felt as if his entire body was frozen in ice, unable to move.

"How dare you resist! Are you truly willing to completely destroy this land of the South China Sea? Or perhaps even shatter the entire Earth Spirit Realm along with it!"

The demon cultivator from the demon realm who was the first to charge forward with his halberd had a blatantly cruel smile on his lips as he spoke.

"Unless a Celestial Venerable intervenes, you mere Demon Heaven Realm cultivators dare to dream of destroying my Earthly Spirit Realm? You are utterly arrogant!"

The cultivator who was the first to respond, a powerful cultivator at the Void Immortal stage who was respectfully addressed as Venerable Wu by Yue Shan, clearly had a hidden meaning in his words, which made him fearless.
