“There are very few Clans in the Zhuo Clan’s territory that retained their Human Form. I wonder which Clan they belong to… But, it’s pointless to think about such things now. The terrifying murderous intent of that Zhuo Clan Elder has already caught up with me…”

 

Mu Yan stared at the figure in white, standing on the hill in the distance. She was clearly stunned by the sight. It was not until she returned to her senses that she turned her gaze to the other two.

 

The woman was wearing a veil, so her true appearance could not be seen. Nevertheless, the vague outline of her facial features indicated that she was an extraordinary beauty. Above the veil, her eyes gleamed brightly like the reflections on the surface of water in autumn.

 

Meanwhile, the slightly stooped Elderly man appeared to be very old yet seemed to radiate with a profound aura that was as deep as the ocean.

 

These three figures did not seem to be members of the Zhuo Clan. Their appearances were no different from those of the Human Race.

 

Naturally, there were indeed Humans in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. It was just that they were not many in numbers. Moreover, their Cultivation Methods were not only different from most of the Clans in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation but also incomplete. That was why they had difficulty producing truly strong experts.

 

In such a remote galaxy, Mu Yan could not help feeling slightly taken aback and astonished to see such a transcendent and ethereal young man. Regardless, she knew that she was currently facing a dangerous and critical moment. It was not the time to think about such things.

 

Her figure swiftly approached Gu Changge and the others. At the same time, the extremely precious Offering Space Talisman in her hand began to glow once more. It was about to penetrate the void and open a portal through Spacetime in front of them.

 

“If you don’t want to die here, then quickly follow behind me. Time is short, and there is no room for you to hesitate… I have a way to leave this galaxy.”

 

Gritting her teeth, she quickly considered the situation and eventually decided to speak to them. She intended to bring these three people, whom she had implicated in her troubles, along with her.

 

Their origins were unknown, and they were not related to her in any way. Be that as it may, she did not wish to involve them in her troubles for such an obscure reason. If she had not seen them, then she would not have cared about their fates. It was just that they were right in front of her. She could not ignore their plight, especially since such actions were not in line with her cultivation.

 

Her words were spoken hurriedly. In fact, she arrived in front of them before she even sent the voice transmission. The Offering Space Talisman in her hands simultaneously glowed and exuded an ancient yet sacred aura. Immediately following that, the spacious void in front of them became blurry. A series of space fluctuations flooded the void, and a broad passageway that connected to a distant universe vaguely emerged.

 

However, she caused her injuries to worsen when she activated the Offering Space Talisman. Several trickles of blood leaked out from the corner of her mouth again.

 

The Offering Space Talisman was very precious. It was an exotic Treasure that she obtained by coincidence. Unfortunately, the Offering Space Talisman could not be activated for long. Travelling through Spacetime countless times today to escape pursuit had caused cracks to appear all over the talisman. It was apparent from these cracks that the Offering Space Talisman would soon shatter after a few more uses.

 

The Spirit Empress obviously did not expect the young girl, who was not only drenched in blood but also fleeing for her life, to make such an offer to them or to bring them along and escape together. Despite facing such a crisis, the young girl was determined not to implicate innocent bystanders in her troubles and even planned to save them.

 

For the Spirit Empress who had become accustomed to constant scheming and intrigues, such a kind-hearted nature made her uncomfortable. Thus, she glanced toward Gu Changge with a questioning look to seek his opinion.

 

The strange look in Gu Changge’s eyes had grown deeper. He was quite surprised. It did not occur to him that the young girl with such abundant Fortuity would bring them along to save their lives. Nonetheless, he said nothing at the time.

 

When Mu Yan opened the passageway and vanished into the passageway, he quickly followed behind her. The Spirit Empress and the White Bone Ancestor King hastily followed after him, stepping into the passageway together.

 

Just as those figures vanished from the spot, the overwhelmingly powerful and gigantic hand that spanned the entire starry sky descended.

 

The boundless pressure that followed rapidly caused the galaxy and the surrounding crystal planets to crumble and disintegrate into nothing. If they had hesitated in the slightest, they would also have been reduced to powder, just like the starry sky.

 

When Mu Yan saw that Gu Changge and the others had not hesitated to follow her and escape together, she involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief. She broke into a relieved smile even though she was in the middle of fleeing for her life.

 

Be that as it may, now was not the time to relax yet. The murderous intent belonging to that Heavenly Elder had not dissipated. It was still persistently tracking her aura and chasing after her. She currently had no means to get rid of the murderous intent, so she could only repeatedly activate the Offering Space Talisman to escape from one starry sky to another starry sky.

 

Her only option was to wait for the murderous intent to exhaust itself and dissipate on its own.

 

It was just that she had no confidence as to whether her Life Force would be consumed first or whether the murderous intent would be exhausted first. After all, she was heavily wounded. If she did not find a place to recover from her wounds, then her wounds would only worsen over time. There was a high likelihood that she might even exhaust all of her Life Force in the near future.

 

The murderous intent of a Heavenly Elder could pulverise stars, split Astral Rivers, and annihilate Great Universes. The extent of the horrifying power contained within was beyond her imagination.

 

Fortunately, Mu Yan had experienced countless hardships and dangers throughout her cultivation journey. It was thanks to these experiences that she was not particularly scared.

 

It did not take long for her to regain her spirit. Then, she consecutively activated the Offering Space Talisman to move from the current universe to another universe. After travelling through a dozen universes, she finally found a relatively hidden spot where she could temporarily rest and recover from her injuries.

 

“It seems that there are not many uses left…” Mu Yan stared at the Offering Space Talisman that was covered in cracks, feeling a little upset. To her, the Offering Space Talisman was an extremely important life-saving Treasure.

 

It had saved her on many occasions in the past. Unfortunately, it was now on the verge of shattering and could only be used for a few more times. If the murderous intent of that Heavenly Elder were to strike again, she would be left completely helpless at that time.

 

“Young Lady, how can you fearlessly bring us along with you while fleeing across various universes in such a roundabout manner? Aren’t you afraid that we might take advantage of your severe injuries to steal your Treasure? That Treasure is certainly quite mysterious. I can’t believe it allows you to open passageways through Spacetime, allowing you to pass through numerous Great Universes in an instant. Such a priceless treasure will inevitably bring great bloodshed once word spreads to the public, yet you revealed your Treasure to us in such a grand manner. Are you actually testing us?”

 

Just when Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and decided to recover her strength in this place because she did not sense the demented and frosty murderous intent coming after her, the gentle and pleasant voice of a young man that resembled a bubbling spring entered her ears.

 

Her body stiffened when she heard the voice, and then she swiftly turned to look behind her. Even her beautiful eyes with a hint of dark gold had widened in astonishment. It was not until she looked behind her that she realised the three figures whom she brought along with her at the beginning were standing there leisurely.

 

The person speaking at this moment was the Celestial-like young man who had attracted her earlier. There was a small smile on his face, and he seemed to be faintly amused.

 

“Y-You… Why are you still here?”

 

She was so taken aback that she froze for a moment, feeling as though her brain had stopped working.

 

[What’s going on? Where did things go wrong? Why are they still here with me? Shouldn’t they have stayed behind after escaping to another universe with me? Why did they continue to follow me? After all, the horrifying murderous intent was not aimed at them! They only needed to escape to another universe to be safe from danger.]

 

For a moment, she simply froze in confusion.

 

Just where did things go wrong? She had saved those three out of kindness, but it turned out that she had failed to save them completely. Was it because she was rushing too much at the time? She was so focused on running that she had forgotten to remind them to ‘disembark the getaway train’. Was that why they simply followed her until they arrived here?

 

“It’s over…” Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. It seemed as though she was having a hard time accepting the situation.

 

Ordinary people would have stayed far away from her, right? Ordinary people would have stayed behind in a safe place. Who would be so stupid as to follow her until the end? Were they unable to perceive the horror of the murderous intent? It would not have taken much effort for the murderous intent to annihilate an entire galaxy.

 

At this moment, to her, Gu Changge and the two others seemed to be idiots. That was especially true in regards to Gu Changge. He was probably the leader among them. Despite his youth, his aura was extraordinary. Moreover, the woman wearing the veil and the Black-Robed Elder seemed to be very respectful towards him.

 

[Although he is very handsome, it seems he is not very smart.]

 

“Why did the three of you follow me all the way here? Didn’t you know you were supposed to leave in the middle of the journey?” Mu Yan was a little angry. Nevertheless, she did her best to keep her tone calm and composed.

 

“Didn’t you say we should follow behind you if we wanted to survive? I’m certain we followed your instructions perfectly,” Gu Changge replied, sounding slightly surprised.

 

Mu Yan was very tempted to roll her eyes at Gu Changge.

 

[So, does that mean he will blindly do whatever I ask him to do? He doesn’t even know me, how can he trust me so easily? In this day and age, isn’t he afraid of being deceived to the point where he loses even the clothes on his back?]

 

“Judging by the situation, he is probably the foolish Young Master of a Hidden Clan who brought his servants with him to gain experience in the outside world,” She murmured softly.

 

As for the words Gu Changge had spoken earlier, she did not mind them too much. Even if he could tell that the Offering Space Talisman was very special, there was no need for him to say those words aloud and make her more wary of them. Besides, if they had wanted to steal her Treasure, they would not have waited until now. There were plenty of opportunities to take action while she was frantically fleeing for her life.

 

She definitely did not reach her current position by relying on pure luck. In terms of reading people, she believed that she was quite capable and accurate.

 

With the cultivation level of the Spirit Empress and the White Bone Ancestor King, they naturally heard Mu Yan’s mutterings. Their expressions twitched slightly at those words, but they ignored the indiscretion since Gu Changge himself said nothing.

 

“I didn’t expect you to be so… ‘innocent’ either, but I was the one who forgot to tell you to leave. It was my negligence.” Forcing herself to calm down, Mu Yan patiently explained. She did her best to swallow the word ‘stupid’, replacing the word with ‘innocent’ instead. It would have been too hurtful to say such words directly to their faces.

 

At any rate, things had already come to a head. She had no choice but to help them to the end. After all, if they stayed by her side, it was only a matter of time before those three were caught by the murderous intent of that Heavenly Elder and stuck in the same life-or-death crisis as before.

 

“Stay here. If you follow beside me, there is no guarantee that you won’t lose your life easily like before.” she said.

 

Although this place was remote and secluded, which was suitable for her to rest and recover from her wounds for the time being, she could not afford to hesitate. The Offering Space Talisman that was already covered in cracks was activated once more, glowing dimly in preparation to open another passageway and leave this place.

 

A look of distress appeared in her eyes. The Offering Space Talisman was her life-saving trump card, but the more she used the Offering Space Talisman, the fewer uses she would have left afterwards. It was just that those three were implicated in her mess, so she was obligated to help them escape the crisis.

 

“Young Lady, are you planning to leave us here?” Gu Changge asked, feeling slightly stunned by the scene before him.

 

He was indeed rather surprised. The truth was that he assumed the young girl had other considerations and reasons for asking them to follow her just now. Who could have known that she was simply so focused on fleeing that she forgot to tell them to leave halfway through the journey?

 

The truth left him speechless for some time. How did such a foolish Fortuitous Lady survive until now? Did she simply rely on the blessings of Heaven to transform the dangers she faced into blessings instead?

 

“Do you still plan to follow me? You really are fearless,” Mu Yan muttered softly, resisting the impulsive urge to roll her eyes at Gu Changge.

 

Based on his appearance alone, he seemed to be around the same age as her. On the other hand, the Black-Robed Elder next to him seemed to be quite strong. Even so, would the old man be able to repel the murderous intent of that Heavenly Elder?

 

It had to be said that a Heavenly Elder must be recognised by the Immortal Spirit Civilisation as the existence standing at the highest peak. There were millions of living creatures who both worshipped and feared such beings.

 

[I’m sure he probably doesn’t know about how dangerous and terrifying the encounter I experienced before was.]

 

Those words made Gu Changge smile, but he did not say anything else. He initially gained interest in the young girl because of her astounding Fortuity. It was not an exaggeration to describe her Fortuity as monstrous.

 

With such astounding Fortuity, as long as she did not perish and her Fortuity was not stolen by others, she was bound to gain control of her destiny and reach the Dao Realm. She might even survive many Decay Tribulations and reach the Ancestral Dao Realm.

 

Although he had not deliberately deduced the young girl’s fate and her potential as a Variable, he knew that the current crisis would not impact her too much.

 

In the past, he might have given some thought to such abundant Fortuity. But he had long overgrown that. Now, he was currently targeting an entire Civilisation. No matter how astonishing or abundant her Fortuity was, how could a lone person compare with a Civilisation?

 

Besides, the young girl did not possess what he currently wanted. That was why he simply decided to let nature take its course.

 

*Buzz!* A dense burst of light emerged as Mu Yan activated the Offering Space Talisman to open another passageway. However, alarming cracks rapidly spread across the passageway as soon as she poured her Qi into the Offering Space Talisman.

 

Seeing that the Offering Space Talisman was about to shatter into pieces, she hurriedly withdrew her Qi in an attempt to minimise the damage. Unfortunately, a violent backlash was transmitted back to her.

 

She groaned from the resulting impact, blood trickling out from the corners of her mouth. The backlash had exacerbated her wounds again, and the wounds that she had been suppressing burst open at the same time.

 

The blood drained from her already pale face as a result, making her seem even more pallid than before. At the same time, she could feel her vision going blurry and her mind blacking out. Her body then went limp and slumped to the ground in the next moment.

 

She initially thought she would fall to the ground, but the pain she expected did not come. On the contrary, she seemed to have fallen into the embrace of a warm and broad chest. Waves of a refreshing yet masculine scent flooded her nose.
