Chapter 395 - Chased (2/2)

The young woman was named Qian Li, and she said, ”Master Qiankun, the other Celestials have tried to impede our advancement. If we obtain the 'Key' first, wouldn't we struggle to retain it?” Her words were tinged with worry and uncertainty.

The old man remained looking ahead, ”You're wrong.”

”Wrong?” The young woman was confused.

”Our goal isn't to obtain the 'Key', it is to befriend it.” The old man's wizened voice and calm tone caused the young woman to frown in confusion.

To befriend it?

While they had this conversation, on the crimson and black skyship that housed that imperial figure, another conversation was being held.

”Your Majesty, will Master Qiankun actually lead us to the 'Key'? He is a Celestial, after all.” A young man, strapping and handsome, wore a crown and regal attire. He seemed like a prince from legends, valiant and befitting.

The middle-aged man with his emperor robe coldly laughed, ”Yes. Despite being a Celestial, he's long since been abandoned. He wants nothing more than for the 'Key' to stay out of the Celestials reach. If that wasn't the case, why else would all these hegemonic rulers of their regions follow him without hesitation?

”If it wasn't for him, we would've all been trapped in the spatial void, restricted by the Celestials. It was him who allowed all of us to enter.” The middle-aged man, Emperor Bloodfire, said calmly.

The young man, Crown Prince Crimsonblaze, was somewhat startled. He pondered deeply before his eyes brightened with a light of realization.

”He wants to use us to fight against the Celestials!” The Crown Prince exclaimed.

Emperor Bloodfire looked towards this son of his and shook his head in disappointment, ”If only it was that simple.”

On one of the worldships, there was a world of light, endless and bright. A feminine figure that seemed to originate from the source of all light was standing before a gigantic mirror. This mirror exceeded a thousand meters in height and was circular. The mirror didn't reflect the image before it, but seemed to reveal a different image.

It was of a young man with black hair and amber-gold eyes flying swiftly beside a young woman with grey hair. They were incredibly fast, yet the mirror continued to reveal their actions. They were unable to escape it.

”The 'Key' is finally before us.” The woman immersed in boundless light said, her voice echoing infinitely in the distance, as if it traveled at the speed of light instead of sound.

”Praise the light!” The voices of billions emerged simultaneously. Directly behind her figure was billions of individuals, of varying cultivation bases, and yet they were emitting waves of unified belief. The most shocking aspect was that...they were all Celestials!

A figure adorned in heavy armor emanating a dimmer light than the woman arrived before her. He kneeled. ”Light Sovereign Queen, we've received a message from Master Qiankun.”

The woman didn't turn her gaze from the mirror. ”What is it?”

”He said that we should halt our advance,” the figure relayed.

”...Halt.” She said, her orders rippling endlessly. No one dared to question her word as they worked to halt the gigantic planet-sized worldship that housed billions. In the outside world, the three worldships that had arrived and were hastily following the skyship underwent a change in formation. One of them slowed down until they reached a complete stop.

The other two didn't cease their pursuit, blazing a devastating pathway ahead. Similar to the worldship with a realm of light within, the others had billions of celestials as well. They too received Master Qiankun's advice, yet refused to halt.

For them, they couldn't trust the simple words of an old, forgotten, disgrace of a celestial!

The chase will continue!
