Chapter 2882 She finally arrived
The capital of Cangyan Kingdom, the Crimson Sky Golden Palace.
The stars have disappeared from the sky, and the east is already white.
Outside the Daoist temple of the Nine Nether Emperor stood a building called Lishan Tower, specifically for providing the Emperor's necessities. Du Shan and Liu Qingdao didn't go anywhere else; they simply stayed there to keep watch all night.
Before the Emperor left, he gave his last wishes, which shows that the journey was extremely dangerous. How could the two of them dare to go back to sleep?
All the bystanders had been driven out, and a small, palm-sized blood jade talisman was placed on a low table facing east.
After Liu Qingdao finished his meditation for the third time, he asked Du Shan, who was behind the desk:
"Still unable to contact the Emperor?"
He was restless all night, and even his meditation was interrupted several times.
Du Shan put down his pen and shook his head: "There has been no news for the past hour."
The waiting time was unbearable, so he moved all his official business to Lishan Tower to handle it. He tried to contact the Emperor several times, but failed each time.
Even with the Emperor's power, the fact that they hadn't received any news for so long weighed heavily on their hearts.
"Where is Mother Earth?" Du Shan was meticulous in his work, and Liu Qingdao knew perfectly well what was going on, but he still couldn't help asking.
“The last time we contacted each other, it said the secret realm was in danger, the Emperor was seriously injured, but it needed to enter the Great Pot to find a chance to turn the tide of the battle.” Du Shan sighed. “And now it’s like this. I guess it doesn’t have the energy to reply to me.”
This is not a good sign.
Just then, footsteps and the sound of brooms sweeping away fallen leaves echoed outside the building; palace servants were rising to sweep the courtyard. The entire city of Ju was slowly awakening in the morning light, a new day about to begin.
No one knows that the Lord of Cangyan is experiencing an unprecedented war on the distant other side.
The outcome of this battle is directly related to the rise and fall of humanity and the future of all living beings.
Just as Liu Qingdao was about to speak, a "click" sound suddenly came from inside the room.
The sound was faint, but it was exceptionally jarring in the quiet space. The two turned around and were horrified:
A crack has appeared on the blood jade talisman that was placed facing east!
"this!"
Even someone as shrewd as Du Shan was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief. Could it be...?
The two had barely reached the table when the crack widened, and the upper part of the Blood Jade Talisman fell off, wobbling slightly on the tabletop.
Until it came to a complete stop, both of them were speechless, unable to utter a single word.
Du Shan felt as if his heart had been thrown into an ice cellar; the chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and even his hands went numb.
Liu Qingdao grabbed the fragments of the Blood Jade Talisman in his hand; despite his thousands of years of cultivation, his fingers were now trembling.
"Could it be that the Emperor has encountered some misfortune?"
Du Shan bit his tongue hard, the metallic taste of blood exploding in his mouth, instantly pulling him back to his senses:
"impossible!"
He had been by the side of the Nine Nether Emperor for more than ten years and had personally witnessed the Emperor create countless myths.
The more he learned about He Lingchuan, the less he believed that this man would fall so easily.
"But the Blood Jade Talisman is broken." The Blood Jade Talisman was made from the hair of the Nine Nether Emperor. As long as the person lives there, the talisman exists; when the person dies, the talisman breaks!
Before He Lingchuan went into seclusion, he specifically gave this Blood Jade Talisman to the two of them.
If he returns safely, all will be well; but if the Blood Jade Talisman shatters, Cang Yan will enter an era without the Nine Nether Emperor.
This will be an unbearable pain for Cang Yan, and an unbearable burden for the world!
Even though the two of them refused to believe it, the fact remained that the talisman had shattered.
The room was deathly silent.
A loud bang came from the garden outside, probably from a palace servant who had bumped into a flowerpot, breaking the somber atmosphere inside.
Liu Qingdao said in a hoarse voice:
"The Emperor has given prior instructions; when should we begin to carry them out?"
"Let's wait for news!"
"but……"
"Let's wait for news!" Du Shan said decisively. "Even if the Emperor passes away, he must have made arrangements beforehand."
Given the ruthlessness and cunning of the Nine Nether Emperor, even in his sacrifice, there would surely be follow-up arrangements. Although he had entrusted his will to the two powerful ministers before heading to the Earth Mother Plain, the battlefield situation was constantly changing, and Du Shan insisted that they should wait until the situation became clearer before carrying out the Emperor's last wishes.
“With the Emperor’s power and the Earth Mother’s agility, even if they couldn’t defeat the Heavenly Demon, they should be able to retreat. But now this ominous sign has arrived…” He pointed to the Blood Jade Talisman and explained further, “I’m afraid the Emperor has something he is determined to protect and a goal he is determined to achieve.”
“The Great Pot?” Liu Qingdao blurted out. “Wait, you mean the world within the pot that the Emperor once spoke of…”
"The Earth Mother just mentioned that the Emperor entered the Great Pot to seek a turning point."
But if the Blood Jade Talisman shattered, wouldn't that mean the Emperor's operation had failed? This thought flashed through his mind, but Liu Qingdao didn't utter a rebuttal.
“There’s still plenty of time. Let’s keep the news a secret for now! The Emperor’s last wishes can be carried out at our leisure; there’s no need to rush.” Du Shan made the decision. “The Emperor’s passing will inevitably shake the foundations of the Cangyan Kingdom. You and I must keep our mouths shut!”
Liu Qingdao had no objection:
"it is good!"

General Hong took He Lingchuan's hand and remained silent.
Those around bowed their heads in mourning, and countless soldiers wept uncontrollably.
On the very day that Panlongcheng achieved its final victory, they lost Zhong Shengguang, General Huyi, Zhao Jinghe, and many other good comrades.
Just then, a figure stepped out from the crowd and walked towards He Lingchuan.
The wind blew through her plain clothes, outlining her slender figure from behind.
Somehow, as soon as she walked out, everyone else seemed to become just background figures.
She was not on the same level as the scene, the battlefield, the surrounding red mist, or even the somber atmosphere.
Xu Shichu looked up and saw her, then sighed deeply.
"He's gone. Master Sun, you're too late."
The visitor was none other than Sun Fuling, the person He Lingchuan most wanted to see on his deathbed.
I want it, but I can't have it.
“It’s not too late.” She shook her head, then knelt down, facing the Red General. “The timing is perfect.”
As soon as he finished speaking, time suddenly slowed down, and even the wind in the wasteland seemed to freeze.
The guard beside Xu Shichu was shedding tears, but the tear had not fallen to the ground since it left his cheek.
Everything around us fell into an eerie silence.
"Master Sun? You're Master Sun?" General Hong, wearing a mask, was first surprised, then asked sternly, "What's going on?"
With her keen perception, she immediately noticed that only she and Sun Fuling were talking normally, as if unaffected by the slow flow of time.
“I am Sun Fuling, and I have lived in Panlong City for many years, but we have never met.” Sun Fuling stared at her. “As long as we appear in the same space, it will cause the current situation, because it goes against common sense.”
Therefore, she and General Hong never met face to face.
"Why? Why do you exist?" General Red remained motionless, pondering deeply. "...And which timeline is this? What logic does it defy?"
The appearance of Sun Fuling had a great impact on her.
Having absorbed the insights of both the Dragon God and Mitian, she immediately realized upon seeing Sun Fuling that this was not a normal time-space!
