Chapter: Chapter 524
“An aura that makes the Feng feel scared? Hmmm, this is quite interesting.” Leticia, who had been rescued from her sister’s demonic clutches by Bai Ling, rubbed her face as she walked over. There was now a small fist print on her cute little face, clearly indicating that she had been caught up by her sister before Bai Ling could even speak.
“Let me take a good look.”
Taking Bai Ya’s wrist, Leticia’s brow furrowed. She had intended to use her magic to explore Xiao Ya’s body, but as soon as her magic entered Xiao Ya’s body, it was as if it was absorbed by something, eliciting no response at all.
It was very strange, and she had no idea of the principles behind it.
After trying various methods, Leticia could only regretfully admit that she had no idea what was going on.
“As your sister, Xiao Ya is quite the qualified one.” Patting Bai Ling on the shoulder, Leticia said with a hint of teasing. The abilities of these two sisters were more mysterious than the other. She still couldn’t figure out what Bai Ling’s ability was.
And now Xiao Ya had this special ability. All she could say was, well, Leticia was used to it.
Neither of these sisters was normal.
“This secret is for you to find the answer yourself. I can’t help you.”
Hearing Leticia’s words, Bai Ling’s mouth drooped. She hated things that required her to use her brain, especially mysteries about her origins. This matter made her feel completely at a loss.
Her parents had disappeared long ago. If she wanted to investigate her origins now, wasn’t she asking for too much?
“Don’t make that face. It’s okay even if you don’t know, right? Our most important goal now is to get the prophecy book.”
If she couldn’t figure out the source of the ability, so be it. As long as it was useful, in the current situation, where was the leisure to care about such trivial matters?
Leticia’s words did comfort Bai Ling a little. At least she now had a clearer goal, which was to have a good chat with Senior Sang and get the prophecy book.
In the following few days, Leticia and Bai Ling spent a rare period of leisure with their sisters. The scenery of the beastmen race was overwhelming for Xiao Ya, a young lady who had almost always lived in cities. When Yin appeared and told everyone it was time to leave, the little girl looked regretful.
The beastmen were so enthusiastic; she was reluctant to go back.
But there was nothing they could do. Bai Ling couldn’t possibly leave Xiao Ya here alone. Although Linglong and Yinya were trustworthy companions, leaving Xiao Ya, a weak woman with no ability to fight, in a place like the beastmen territory was something Bai Ling, no matter how bold, couldn’t do.
“This is the passage back to the human world. Bai Ling, Bai Ya, and Kira will return to the human world first. I will take Leti and the others to the elf world before returning to the human world to send Kira back to the demon world.” With a pull in the air, a dark spatial rift appeared before everyone’s eyes. This spatial passage was the same one Yin had used when she brought Kira and Xiao Ya over.
In the past few days, the connections between worlds had been gradually strengthening, and the existence of passages had become much more stable, enough for the three girls to safely return to the human world.
“Then we’re leaving.” Bai Ling nodded to Yin, holding Xiao Ya’s hand with one hand and Kira’s with the other, and stepped towards the spatial passage.
Just as she was about to step into the dark passage, Leticia suddenly said, “Be careful. If necessary, wait for me to come back!”
“Don’t worry, I’m not someone without a brain.” Bai Ling turned back and smiled at Leticia. Receiving Leticia’s reminder at this moment warmed her heart.
“Kira, you too. Don’t push yourself.” After admonishing Bai Ling, Leticia also cared for her sister.
However, Kira didn’t seem to appreciate it as much, clearly unhappy that Leticia had found a new sister.
“Got it, my dear eldest sister.” Elongating her voice, Kira glared at Leticia fiercely. “When I get back to the demon world, I’ll go and complain to Sister Xue’er. Just you wait!”
“Haha… Say hello to Xue’er for me. We’ve been gone for so long; her pressure must be immense.”
“Yes, Sister, you know that too. Then when you ran away from home, didn’t you ever think about how much pressure I was under?”
“Cut it out, just stop! Don’t bring up old accounts!” Leticia quickly cut off the topic. If they continued to discuss it, it would never end. Moreover, the more they discussed it, the less confident she felt in front of her sister.
No matter how she looked at it from any angle, what she did back then was utterly crap.
Therefore, let the past just go with the wind. Didn’t any major problems arise? No major problems, no major problems.
“Sister Leti, you haven’t said goodbye to me yet!” Xiao Ya jumped up, feeling as if she had been ignored.
Sister and Kira had both received admonitions from Leticia, so why hadn’t she received a single word?
This was blatant favoritism!
She was indignant!
“You? What can I say to you?” Leticia showed a helpless expression. “Uh, listen to your sister obediently and don’t cause her trouble.”
“Eh? That’s so perfunctory.” Xiao Ya muttered softly, but she didn’t care much about it and still bid farewell to Leticia with a sunny smile.
“Then we’re leaving. You take care of yourself too.” Bai Ling turned back, pulled her two sisters, and stepped into the spatial passage, disappearing from view.
Watching their retreating backs, Leticia’s heart suddenly twitched. An inexplicable feeling surged from her chest. She felt as if she had forgotten something, as if she had overlooked something, but no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out where she had overlooked something.
“This feeling…” She clutched her chest, her expression looking somewhat complicated.
Infinuo noticed that something was wrong with Leticia. She walked to Leticia’s side, placed a hand on Leticia’s back, and asked softly, “What’s wrong, Leti? Reluctant to part with Bai Ling?”
“Not to that extent. It’s just that I suddenly have a bad premonition, as if I’ve forgotten to say something.”
“Things that can be forgotten are basically unimportant. With our memory, we wouldn’t forget important things.” Infinuo pointed to her head and chuckled. “I think, Leti, you’re just reluctant to part with Bai Ling.”
“It’s really not, I’m not a child!”
Leticia stated that she was not that childish. Such a short separation wouldn’t make her feel much sadness. After all, they would meet again soon; it wasn’t a final parting.
Waiting for about a few minutes, Yin closed the entrance to this spatial passage. She reached out and fiddled with the air nearby, this time pulling out a black rift that looked rather unstable.
An aura of chaos and disorder emanated from the spatial passage, causing Leticia to frown. Could this thing really accommodate them?
“I say, Yin, won’t this passage have any problems?” Leticia asked weakly.
“No major problems. With our physical condition, passing through it won’t be much of an issue. I’ve tried it a few times before. It’s just a little bumpy along the way,” Yin replied softly, scratching her head. “Even if we’re thrown out of the spatial passage, it’s not a big problem. We can just find a broken space to take shelter in, and I can find you.”
So there was a risk of being thrown out of the spatial passage?!
Leticia’s eyes widened. In her past impression, after being thrown out of a spatial passage, one would face extremely terrifying spatial turbulence attacks. Ordinary people could not survive in such a terrifying environment.
But from Yin’s current statement, being thrown out of the spatial passage didn’t seem like a big deal?
“Don’t be so surprised. Our physical bodies are enough to support us in traversing the river of space. Taking a more stable passage just saves more effort.” Infinuo chuckled, seemingly amused by Leticia’s reaction.
This ancestor probably did a lot of this back then.
“I’ll go ahead and stabilize the passage first. You guys hurry up and follow me!” Yin didn’t explain further and directly jumped into the dark rift.
As she entered, the previously somewhat unstable spatial passage gradually stabilized. In terms of space, this goddess lady was quite trustworthy.
“Let’s go, Leti.” Infinuo smiled, patted Leticia’s head, and was the first to step into the spatial passage, following Yin.
Seeing that Yin and Infinuo had already entered the spatial passage, Leticia grabbed Feng’s hand, gritted her teeth, and followed into the spatial passage.
Completely different from her previous experiences traversing spatial passages, Leticia felt as if she were riding a roller coaster this time. Her sense of direction was almost completely lost, and she could only move forward by instinct.
Feng’s condition was even worse than Leticia’s. The moment she entered the spatial passage, the little girl let out a cry of pain and closed her eyes, giving up on thinking.
Fortunately, Leticia was holding her hand, otherwise, this little fellow wouldn’t know where she would fall.
“This isn’t just a little bumpy. Yin, I’ll settle scores with her later!” Leticia muttered inwardly about Yin’s so-called minor bumpiness, using her remaining sense of direction to drag Feng forward.
Fortunately, not long after, she saw Infinuo’s retreating figure. Unlike Leticia’s disheveled appearance, the ancestor looked quite leisurely.
Golden chains formed a large net, protecting Infinuo within. Hearing the sound from behind, she turned around, showing a surprised expression. “You two just ran over here like this?”
Immediately, her expression changed to one of realization. “Oh, I forgot that neither of you has this kind of experience.”
The protective net of golden chains expanded slightly, enveloping Leticia and Feng. After being protected by Infinuo’s power, Leticia found that her dizziness had disappeared.
“I’ll teach you how to do this later. For now, we’d better wait for Yin to move aside the world fragment blocking the way ahead.”
“Ah?”
After Infinuo’s explanation, Leticia finally understood what had happened while she was on her way. The spatial passage that Yin had meticulously scouted had been hit head-on by a world fragment that had flown from God knows where. The Spatial God lady was currently busy clearing debris and repairing the passage.
“Just in time, let’s take this opportunity to see what our world has become.” Infinuo sighed lightly and pointed to the dark, lightless expanse ahead.
As her voice fell, Leticia suddenly realized that her perspective seemed to be very, very high. Four beautiful glass spheres covered in cracks appeared in her vision, and outside these four glass spheres were countless shattered chips.
Magnificent, spectacular. Leticia could only describe what she saw with these two words.
She turned to look beside her. Infinuo’s expression was solemn, but upon closer inspection, a trace of regret and shame could be seen on her face.
“What we did back then was indeed too much.” She shook her head and tapped Leticia’s forehead. “Look at what this world used to be like.”
An even grander and more magnificent scene appeared before Leticia. Unlike the current four barely complete glass spheres, the world back then was composed of countless large and small beautiful spheres, each representing a world.
From so many worlds back then to these four worlds on the verge of collapse… what had happened?
Lost in thought, Leticia’s perspective fell from above and returned to her own body. She looked at Infinuo, who was silent beside her, and a guess formed in her mind.
“Is this the work of gods?” Leticia asked.
“Most likely. The gods back then didn’t care about the consequences when they acted. Countless worlds were destroyed in the divine war. Although they reappeared later, it seems that all of this came at a price.”
“No wonder the competition for territories became more and more fierce back then. I always thought those gods wanted to fight for territory, but now I think it’s probably because the worlds they were in were no longer suitable for survival?”
“The worlds back then weren’t that bad. The last time I saw these worlds, they weren’t broken yet,” Yin’s voice came from afar. It seemed she had already cleared away the small obstructing objects. “The current situation is very strange, and I can’t say for sure why, but our battles back then shouldn’t have caused such terrifying destruction.”
“Now there are only four relatively complete worlds left… I really can’t imagine what happened during our long period of sealing. Perhaps only that existence can answer our doubts.”
