Even after experiencing cataclysmic tribulations and encountering unfathomable enemies, Zhao Qi had never felt such a spine-chilling sensation before. Every hair on his body stood on end, trembling uncontrollably.
However, the feeling came and went quickly, as if it were an illusion.
Zhao Qi's expression remained uneasy. He tried again to deduce the vast coordinates of the Mountain and Sea True World.
Fortunately, this time, there was no trace of the earlier dread and fear.
"What exactly happened just now?"
Zhao Qi couldn't figure it out. With his current cultivation level, he couldn't comprehend what he had just experienced.
"Forget it. In this vast world, there are countless strange, incomprehensible, and inexplicable things. This is just one more."
Zhao Qi sighed slightly and decided not to dwell on it.
After several attempts at deduction, he had already determined the vast coordinates of the Mountain and Sea True World.
Soon, Zhao Qi led his men, tore open the fabric of the universe, and left the Endless Yang True World, beginning his journey through the vast expanse.
Far, far away, Gu Changge also withdrew his gaze.
"I haven't even started dealing with you yet, and you're already causing trouble for me."
He chuckled softly, not particularly concerned about this minor matter.
Zhao Qi naturally wouldn't be able to deduce the current vast coordinates of the Dao Prosperity True World.
When he arrived, he would be in for a surprise.
However, this incident gave Gu Changge another idea.
He had originally planned to deal with the backup plan he left in A'Man at a later time.
But now, it seemed he would have to act sooner, especially since the Endless Yang True World had left such a glaring vulnerability for him to exploit.
How could he not take advantage of it?
Immediately, Gu Changge slightly closed his eyes, awakening the mark he had left in A'Man back then.
The Endless Yang True World was separated from his current location by an immeasurable distance.
But when Gu Changge had left that mark, he had done so in the form of a legacy, embedded deep within A'Man's memories.
As long as her memories remained intact, the mark would remain forever.
No matter how powerful others might be, they would never be able to detect the existence of this imprint.
Soon, images began to appear before Gu Changge's eyes once more.
A young woman in white sat cross-legged within a lush life star, enveloped in strands of immortal mist.
From every pore of her body, bone and blood energy surged like mist, a testament to her terrifying physique.
Over the years, many of this young woman's memories had flowed past like water, flashing before Gu Changge's eyes.
"The fortune of the Endless Yang True World has declined to this extent, which is somewhat unexpected."
"Compared to the Prime-Origin Civilization, the Endless Yang True World is indeed much weaker. It's a pity it's so far away from me."
Gu Changge shook his head slightly, feeling a hint of regret.
At this moment, within the territory of the Cosmic Annihilation Mansion in the Endless Yang True World.
Tianlan Star.
A'Man, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart.
It was as if she had heard a faint yet familiar voice calling out to her from a great distance.
"A'Man…"
Someone was calling her name?
The voice was gentle and familiar, as if buried deep within her memories, gradually emerging as the mist cleared.
Every time she entered a dream, this voice would come to her ear, reminding her of those beautiful times in the Barbarian God Continent.
Was this another dream?
But even if it was a dream, she wanted to see him again, even if only in a dream, to thank him and properly say goodbye.
"Senior…"
A'Man called out softly, suddenly opening her eyes.
Before her was an ancient, lush forest, the night sky quiet and dotted with stars.
A full moon hung high, and the night wind blew, making a low, mournful sound, creating an empty, cold atmosphere.
This was within the Barbarian Tribe.
A bright bonfire burned, and many tribesmen sat around it, drinking and eating heartily.
Some of the tribesmen began to dance, their faces glowing red and dark under the light of the fire.
A'Man hadn't expected to see this scene again—the night she had parted ways with her senior.
She remembered that she had been drinking with her tribesmen, happily reminiscing about the past.
But when she came to her senses and tried to find her senior, he had already disappeared, just as he had arrived—silently, without leaving a trace.
The only thing he had left behind was the white robe he had worn, still carrying his scent.
A'Man looked at this scene, which seemed etched into her memories, and a flood of emotions surged within her—joy, but also deep regret.
If she had found her senior earlier back then, could she have properly bid him farewell? And could she have called him "Master" to his face?
"Long time no see. You haven't disappointed me."
Suddenly, a voice spoke beside her, causing A'Man to freeze.
She turned her head and looked beside her.
A figure in white stood not far away, a faint smile on his lips as he spoke to her.
A'Man stared at this familiar figure.
The familiar features, the familiar expression, the familiar demeanor—she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, stunned once more.
Her entire body seemed to stiffen, her eyes widening slightly, unable to believe what was happening.
"Hmm? Has it been so long that you've forgotten me?"
Gu Changge shook his head slightly, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Senior… Senior…"
"A'Man… A'Man could never forget you."
In the next moment, A'Man's cold expression melted like ice, unable to hide the excitement and joy in her eyes.
Her voice trembled slightly.
She didn't know why she was suddenly seeing Gu Changgo again in this dream-like scene.
But for her, being able to see this senior again, who had given her a second chance at life, was already a tremendous blessing.
"It's good that you haven't forgotten."
"If you had forgotten me, I might have been a little sad," Gu Changge said with a light laugh.
A'Man quickly shook her head. "That's impossible. How could I ever forget you? I could never forget you, not in this life or any other."
If Gu Changge hadn't appeared back then and helped her break free from that nearly inescapable tragic future, she might still be trapped in that endless cycle of reincarnation, drowning in pain, vengeance, and despair.
To her, Gu Changge was exactly as he had said when he first appeared—he was her benefactor.
"You're almost at the Immortal King Realm. It seems you haven't been slacking off during this time."
Gu Changge smiled, his gaze falling on A'Man as if assessing her cultivation level, checking to see if she had been lazy.
A'Man was quite confident in her current cultivation level.
However, this was largely thanks to the many cultivation techniques and divine abilities Gu Changge had taught her back then.
