I make a contract with myself

Chapter 485 The Extinct Light

The sea god returned to the ocean with the ancient whale.

Looking at the sea creatures that had hardly changed, the sea god tapped the ancient whale's head: "Is this how you protect them?"

The ancient whale spouted water, pushing its old friend a little further away: "At least, things haven't gotten any worse, have they?"

Poseidon looked at it and said, "Tell me honestly, do you usually sleep?"

The ancient whale's eyes darted around, then it quickly changed the subject: "And you? What level are you at now?"

"Half-legendary."

"Go and beat up the seven major clans, and then build a sea clan pass."

"Ha ha……"

After exchanging only a few words, the two fish, unable to stand each other, started fighting, each creating waves.

The sea people watched from the sidelines.

Having just gone through a major battle, everyone wanted to rest and had no energy to mediate.

Besides, the ancient whale and the sea god had overexerted themselves before and were both low on health. Although they seem to be fighting fiercely now, they are actually just good brothers sparring. Fighting is a sign of affection.

Just watch it for fun.

The same applies to other ethnic groups after they return home from fighting abroad.

It's true that those who leave home are of high seniority, and they also have many elders in their families. For example, Xuan Che of the human race has lost all the people two generations above him, but there are only two people one generation above him.

One of them was Elder Luo, the ancestor of the Lingjue Holy Land. He had just returned home when he was stunned by Xia Ling'er and almost killed at his doorstep.

It was truly a tragic situation.

Now, after leading his descendants to victory in a tough battle, even though the old man is seriously injured and seems like he might die at any moment, he still has a smile on his face.

He dragged those young people around the house for several days, and they just couldn't stop.

The other was the leader of the Star God Cult. Yearning for the stars and the sea, he passed the leadership to the young leader, abandoned his followers, and left the Ancient Spirit World.

Now that I'm back, everything has changed.

The old cult leader felt as if the sky had fallen.

"My vast Star God Cult, is it reduced to just this few people?"

Even with his rock-solid composure, he was still shaken by this devastating news.

Ji Zhuyi opened her mouth, but finally lowered her head, speechless.

Only Elder Luo truly knows what has happened in the Ancient Spirit World over the past few hundred years. The others at the time were far removed from it, but they fought without hesitation because they believed in Elder Luo and the younger generation.

Who would have thought that after going through countless hardships and finally crossing the starry sky to return home, they would find that their entire home was almost falling apart?

Sun Yan handed him the edited video.

After reading it, the old cult leader fell into a long silence.

The former leader, Yi Shan, exposed the Ancient Spirit World to the starry sky, a crazy, extremely crazy act.

In any case, he had been wandering in the starry sky for thousands of years and had never seen any world so bold as to actively expose its location just for that tiny possibility.

This will bring unprecedented changes to this vast world, allowing us to glimpse beyond the ninth rank and ninth level of the Spirit Realm...

In terms of achieving his goal, Yi Shan succeeded.

The concept of legend has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

As for himself, he had to thank this mad cult leader; without Yi Shan, he would never have been able to find his way home.

As for the war that ensued due to the exposure of our location, and the lives lost in the war...

To be honest, the former leader was a beneficiary of the system, and Yi Shan's goal was to reach a higher realm, perfectly embodying the saying "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." He couldn't blame the former leader.

For those who are lost, the best summary is: their merits and demerits are hard to judge.

The old leader looked at the current leader and immediately felt a headache coming on.

This guy is clearly not a qualified cult leader.

But ironically, without him, the Star God Cult might not even have been able to preserve its last remaining lineage.

Therefore, he is the leader.

I can't even beat him, so I can't even retreat if I want to.

The old cult leader sighed deeply, rose, and walked out of the main hall: "I want to be alone."

Sun Yan called out to his retreating figure, "Remember to come back for dinner!"

The moment the words were spoken, the person vanished.

Sun Yan chuckled and turned his head: "Any ideas?"

Ji Zhuyi said calmly, "The old leader and the current leader are not in conflict."

Sun Yan asked with great interest, "Then whose advice do you take?"

Ji Zhuyi remained silent for a long time, so long that everyone present thought she wouldn't answer. Unexpectedly, her answer surprised everyone.

"Listen to me."

"Tsk, are they making me a figurehead?"

"Anyway, the cult leader doesn't get involved, does he?"

Ji Zhuyi smiled, her bright eyes carrying an air of leadership.

Sun Yan stretched and yawned, swaying slightly as he stood up, but he managed to steady himself.

Now that this matter is settled, I should go back and recuperate.

With the four star-studded passes temporarily liberated, those who were not seriously injured and could still fight would naturally go to support the other four passes.

However, the starry sky is very quiet now.

The remaining outsiders were not part of the counterattack plan, but perhaps intimidated by the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the locals, they felt the situation was hopeless and left.

Of course, that's impossible.

Sun Yan was too lazy to think about it too much. It was a rare opportunity to have a few years of peace and quiet. Wasn't it better to spend time with his wife and children?

"Father, aren't you curious about other people's experiences?"

"Not curious."

"You're curious!"

"...If you want to go see the excitement, then go."

Xingwan looked at him. Her once all-powerful father was now so weak that he could hardly even walk using his spiritual energy. In the end, he gave up.

Liu Xian glanced sideways and saw that her daughter had suppressed her curiosity and hadn't run off to join the fun, but instead stayed by her father's side. A thousand emotions welled up in her heart.

My daughter has grown up and is now more considerate.

The children's aunts exchanged smiles, everything understood without a word.

Lin Xiaoyu hugged the rabbit and said enviously, "It makes me want to have a child."

Xia Ling'er raised an eyebrow: "Then let's take it."

Lin Xiaoyu sighed softly, "It's just a pity that men can't do it."

Upon catching the keyword, Sun Yan suddenly turned around, only to be quickly pulled back by Duan Rong.

Honestly, my daughter is still here, why are you saying such dirty things?

Shameless!

The others burst into laughter.

It's truly a rare moment of peace.

Chu Shudai suggested, "How about we throw a banquet to celebrate?"

Xie Xintong nodded repeatedly: "Good idea."

Yun Yun turned her head and asked, "Sect Master, what do you think?"

Sun Yan pointed to himself and asked in return, "Does my opinion matter?"

Chu Shudai paused upon hearing this, and then Xiao Qi raised her hand to answer, "I know, it's just a routine question. Husband only needs to smile and nod 'Mmm'."

Sun Yan's lips twitched, then he smiled and nodded: "Mm."

The innocent little girl has grown up now.

I've been led astray, sob sob...

……

Outsiders began to gather.

Before this, they fought independently, without organization or discipline, which is why the Ancient Spirit World has been able to resist until now.

But now, having suffered a major loss, they are afraid.

Their instinctive fear led them to form an alliance, exchange intelligence, and launch a premeditated attack on the Star Pass.

Just as they were discussing, everything suddenly went dark.

The world in the distance was dark and without light.

The Ancient Spirit World ceased to shine; even the radiance that once belonged to her had vanished.

However, the extinguished light became people's hope.
