"Xiaogu definitely wouldn't die, but I might not be so lucky."
"Sigh, just when I finally tasted what it's like to have a husband, I'm about to kick the bucket. Damn, what a rotten fate."
The soul waves of Big Gu Qingcheng fell into utter silence.
The others could hear the gloom and desperation in her voice.
Ziran shot Xiao Ye a glare and said, "We can't send Qingcheng back to the future, she wants to stay in this period, so let her stay!"
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "I'll respect Sister Qingcheng's choice,"
Staring at the two soul bodies inside the soul space of the Soul Capturing Pearl, he said seriously,
"Sister Qingcheng, Sister Qingcheng, I'll save you both, I promise!"
Big Gu Qingcheng had already given a method to bring her back to life.
That meant both of them could be saved!
If they could be saved, that was enough.
Cheng Bingxi furrowed her brows and said, *But which method should we choose anyway?*
"The first one, sending her back to the future, is off the table."
"The second one is transferring their will to the Destiny Rule Origin, but after reviving, they wouldn't have their memories."
"The third, both Sister Qingcheng's soul bodies are already breaking apart, and pretty soon, they'll be totally dead. There's no way they'll last until we get strong enough."
"As for the fourth, sending them to the Land of Silence—how is that any different from killing Sister Qingcheng? Saving people, my ass."
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Right now, only the second option is solid."
"As long as we can bring Sister Qingcheng back, even if her memories fade, we have to save them!"
Ziran rolled her eyes and said, "If she doesn't have her memories, is she even still Qingcheng?"
"It's straight up like swapping someone else in."
Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Let's save Sister Qingcheng first. Maybe later, we'll find a way to get her memory back,"
"The most urgent thing is to bring Sister Qingcheng back!"
Ziran let out a sigh and said, "That's all we can do, then."
Suddenly, the Space Ancestor Empress looked up to the sky and stood up, exclaiming with joy,
"Sister, you came!"
"Mhm." An ethereal voice fell from the sky, and a tall woman wrapped in mysterious mist arrived beside Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye grabbed Cheng Bingxi and Ziran, stepping backward several paces to put some distance between them, then cupped his fists and said,
"May I ask who you are?"
From the mysterious mist, which obscured her features, came a melodious, graceful voice,
"I am the Time Empress, the elder of the Space Ancestor Empress,"
The Ancestral Empress nodded furiously, delighted, and said, "Yeah, that's my sister, the Time Empress,"
"She's the one who brought the twin-tailed, white-haired maiden back to life."
"Sister, now that the Human Emperor is in trouble, will you help?"
Xiao Ye cupped his fists pleadingly and said, "Please, Time Empress, help bring the two Sister Qingchengs back to life,"
"I still remember how you revived Bai Mao before, and I'd never forget your kindness. If I ever get the chance to return that favor, I promise I will."
The Time Empress's beautiful eyes lit up, then dimmed again.
"I figure there's no way to save your Sister Qingcheng,"
"Senior Qingcheng used a Great Divine Power, so my Time Rule Origin has developed an autonomous defensive instinct, or rather, my Time Rule Origin can't override the Great Divine Power or erase its traces. It's impossible for me to reverse time on Senior Qingcheng and bring her back."
"As for repayment, it just so happens I need your help with something. It's not time yet, but when the moment comes, I'll tell you."
Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Cheng Bingxi listened, their brows gradually knitting together.
*Listening to that voice, how come it sounded a bit like Mu Qingxue?*
Xiao Ye looked up, his gaze faintly piercing through the mysterious mist, barely making out the silhouette of a stunningly tall woman.
*That figure, it was similar to Mu Qingxue's, but there were some subtle differences too.*
As for her face, there was no way to see—it was hidden too well by the mist.
The Time Empress curved her lips and said, "Human Emperor, why are you staring at me like that, you got a crush on me or something?"
"How about you ditch those beast girls, and I'll take you and fly far, far away."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Xiao Ye was so shocked he choked on his own saliva.
He hurriedly waved his hand and said,
"No, please don't tease me, Senior, I don't have the guts to covet you at all,"
"I just think you look kind of like someone I know."
Ziran and Cheng Bingxi also nodded and said, "Yeah, kinda like Qingxue, but also a little different,"
The Time Empress chuckled and said, "There are gazillions of humans on Blue Star. It's normal for people to resemble other people,"
"The reason I came today is to let you know,"
"Those divine spirits on Blue Star who are after the Destiny Rule Origin have already started moving, combing through Blue Star to find where the Destiny Rule Origin is,"
"You all need to hurry, or else the Destiny Rule Origin is going to be taken,"
The Space Ancestor Empress's eyes lit up. *It'd be great if they took it. Wait until the Human Emperor is so anxious and freaked out, then I'll swoop in and snatch the Destiny Rule Origin back. That'd totally win the Human Emperor's favor, ha ha ha ha!*
*She was thrilled inside.*
"!" Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Cheng Bingxi's faces changed dramatically.
Xiao Ye quickly pulled out the treasure-seeking pointer and gave it a command,
[Blue Star Destiny Rule Origin]
BZZZZZZ!
The treasure-seeking pointer trembled, and a red chain shot through the void, plunging deep into the emptiness.
Xiao Ye felt a jolt of joy.
The red chain appeared. That meant he had found it!
Soon, he would obtain the spatial node of the Destiny Rule Origin!
But suddenly, there was a crack.
The red chain broke.
He got a feedback message from the treasure-seeking pointer.
[Affected by universe laws, search interrupted, unable to locate, beep beep beep]
The treasure-seeking pointer crashed.
Xiao Ye: "..."
He shook the treasure-seeking pointer, then thumped it with a fist, trying to reboot it.
His expression turned ugly—dark enough to drip ink.
Ziran and Cheng Bingxi's faces changed. "Xiao Ye, what's up, did you get the coordinates of the Destiny Rule Origin?"
Xiao Ye shook his head and said through clenched teeth, "Affected by universe laws, I can't find it,"
Then, the Space Ancestor Empress's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said out loud,
"Human Emperor, why don't you just ask me if I know?"
Xiao Ye: "Ancestor Empress, you know where it is?"
The Space Ancestor Empress raised her head proudly and said, "Of course, I'm the spatial controller of the Milky Way Galaxy,"
"As long as it's on Blue Star or within the Milky Way, if it exists in space or the void, I know where it is,"
The Time Empress glanced at her, finding her oddly funny. "Ancestor Empress, just spit it out, where is it?"
Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Cheng Bingxi all stared at her eagerly.
The Space Ancestor Empress said, "In the 985!354! spatial node,"
Xiao Ye made a note and waved his hand, "Little maid, get out here—we got work to do!"
Jiang Xue'an stepped out from the Golden Light Gate and turned into a Starry Sky Giant Beast. Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Cheng Bingxi hopped on.
Xiao Ye repeated that spatial coordinate in his head, pointed in a direction, and said seriously,
"Let's go!"
Whoosh—like a shooting star, the Starry Sky Giant Beast darted forward as a Constant Star.
The Space Ancestor Empress frowned. "I could send him there directly, not even one second needed. Why didn't the Human Emperor ask for my help?"
The Time Empress replied, "He still didn't see us as his own people. His instinct is to rely only on himself, to handle everything personally,"
The Space Ancestor Empress: "..."
"You've literally become his benefactor, and he still doesn't see you as one of his own?"
The Time Empress: "..."
The two stunning divine spirits stared at each other, big Cartland eyes wide in shock and confusion.
