Earth, mainland.
In front of the flaming palace, Bai Yijun, who was dressed in a snow-white robe, stood quietly. She was like an ancient stone sculpture. Her body was covered in dust and gradually became a greyish white sculpture. But her expression was vivid and lifelike.
She stood there for ten thousand years.
For the past ten thousand years, she had been staring at the flaming palace without even blinking. Countless dust particles fell on her body and accumulated day by day, eventually forming a limestone sculpture. She did not even feel it. Only her unwavering will remained in her heart.
In the clear sky, the clouds were drifting.
Suddenly, the flames above the flaming palace fluctuated violently. Then there was a low and ancient rumbling sound. From the door of the flaming palace, a fan-shaped light shone on the open space outside, reflecting the ground into a dark red color.
A figure walked out of the palace. It was a slender figure, dressed in pitch-black clothes, with a head of soft and wild black hair draped over his back. His sharp eyes were filled with indifference, and his spine was as straight as a javelin. After stepping out of the palace of flames, he immediately saw the lime sculpture at the entrance.
When Ye Chen saw this familiar sculpture, it was as if the figure sealed in the depths of his memory overlapped. His body shook and he quickly walked in front of the sculpture. Looking at the familiar face, his voice trembled. "Is, is it you …"
Crack!
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the silent sculpture. Then, it quickly spread to the entire body. Suddenly, it exploded with a boom.
A figure dressed in snow-white clothes broke out of the cocoon and landed in front of Ye Chen. Soft hair like black jade, exquisite cheeks, thin curved eyebrows, white skin like mist, and a pair of gentle, clean, and clear eyes ….
Bai Yijun!
Ye Chen's heart shook. He felt like his eyes were covered with a layer of mist. His vision was a little blurry. "Xiaojun …" He opened his mouth and said these two words in a low voice. It was as if he used all the strength in his body.
"You came out."
Bai Yijun looked at him. Her eyes were blurred with tears. She leaned into his arms. "To be able to see you again, everything is good."
It was a simple sentence, but it contained tens of thousands of years of feelings.
Ye Chen silently hugged her tightly. After a long time, the two of them finally separated. Ye Chen suddenly thought of the White Dragon and the others. He quickly turned around and saw that there was only Bai Yijun in the open space.
"They've been waiting for you for a thousand years," Bai Yijun said in a low voice. "Something happened in the Ancient World, and they were summoned by the moon spirit. It seemed like something urgent had happened, so they rushed back first."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, feeling the warmth on his chest. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Let's go as well."
"Okay." Bai Yijun nodded obediently.
Reuniting after thousands of years, there weren't too many words. Everything could be felt with just a glance and an action. True love was heart to heart. It was an excitement that couldn't be expressed with words. That was true excitement.
It was a love that no words could express. That was the true pinnacle of love.
Ye Chen immediately turned around and left with Bai Yijun. Before leaving, he bowed towards the flame palace. Then, he held Bai Yijun's hand and rushed into the distance.
"Where are we going?" Bai Yijun snuggled in his arms and asked softly.
Ye Chen looked at the misty clouds in the sky and smiled. "We're going to see Earth's secret."
"Earth's secret?" Bai Yijun looked at him suspiciously.
Ye Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "When I came out, I said goodbye to the fire-blooded phoenix senior. Before I left, I asked him if the mysterious magnetic field on Earth was caused by it. He said no."
Bai Yijun was also surprised. "It wasn't caused by it?"
Ye Chen nodded slightly. His eyes looked into the distance and flashed with wisdom. "This is very suspicious. Back then, the apocalypse happened many times on Earth, and many civilizations were destroyed. All of this happened on a single planet. There are many planets with life in the universe, but only Earth is in such a situation. Also, when I was on my way here, I heard someone say that Earth is called Shen Yuan Planet!"
Bai Yijun thought. "Could it be that Earth isn't an ordinary planet, but a powerful weapon or some kind of animal?"
With her experience, she knew that there were many powerful weapons in this world. After being enlarged, they could form a universe, a long river, or a dragon. It was normal for them to be able to form a planet.
In addition, there were some animals with strange life forms that could form all kinds of situations. She wouldn't be surprised if Earth was a giant egg.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. "It's very possible."
At this time, the two of them had arrived at the edge of the continent. They saw the Green Scale Dragon there. However, compared to ten thousand years ago, the Green Scale Dragon was even more majestic. The scales on its body were shining brightly, and two sharp horns protruded from its head. The aura on its body had reached the peak of the God Realm!
Ye Chen took a look and directly flew past, not going down to greet them.
Not long after, Ye Chen flew to the continent on the other side of the ocean. He flew toward Youzhou. However, after passing through the ocean, the scene in front of Ye Chen shocked him. He saw an ancient city built on the barren land. Above the city was a huge translucent energy shield.
Through the energy shield, he could see the structure of the city. Various turrets and machine gun towers were erected. An endless stream of people carrying swords or machine guns could be seen coming and going freely from the city gates. It was a bustling scene.
The current Earth had become a world where monsters and prosperity coexisted. If it weren't for the many sophisticated technological weapons, it would have regressed to the barbaric era.
It was very difficult to create and build, but it was always much easier to destroy.
All it took was a doomsday disaster to make humans extinct or even return to the ancient era.
"I didn't expect that the catastrophe ten thousand years ago didn't completely wipe out humans from this land. Moreover, humans have evolved to the point where they are today. Although we haven't completely ruled Earth, we can already stand up to the monsters."
Ye Chen sighed in his heart.
"The greatest ability of humans is probably their ability to reproduce," Bai Yijun said with a smile.
Ye Chen smiled. He took her hand and suddenly descended into the ocean. He said, "Let's go inside Earth and take a look."
Bai Yijun didn't refuse.
She would never refuse any of Ye Chen's actions toward her.
The two of them landed in the ocean, creating a huge splash. The cold and deep seawater seemed to stick to Ye Chen and Bai Yijun's bodies. In fact, around the two of them, there was a wind barrier protecting them, isolating the seawater and extracting oxygen from it.
As soon as they entered the underwater world, Ye Chen saw many monsters swimming around in the sea. There were all kinds of mutated strange fish with strange shapes. The sharks from ten thousand years ago were simply docile babies among them.
Ye Chen took Bai Yijun and quickly sank to the bottom.
These strange fish monsters didn't notice them.
"For someone who can control the power of wind, it's easy to distort the line of sight," Ye Chen said to Bai Yijun with a smile.
The two of them sank to the bottom of the sea without any hindrance. Gradually, the light above their heads disappeared. The bottom of the sea was so deep that they couldn't even see their own fingers.
Ye Chen pointed his finger, and a warm flame emerged from his palm, illuminating the surroundings.
However, what appeared around the wind barrier wasn't the scenery of the bottom of the sea, but all kinds of ferocious monsters. They all turned their heads and stared at the two of them.
In this dark sea, the flame in Ye Chen's hand was like a bright lamp.
Ye Chen didn't panic. It seemed that the situation was within his expectations. He pointed his finger, and a wisp of black flame left his finger and flew out of the wind barrier.
As soon as the black flame left the wind barrier, the surrounding seawater suddenly boiled and then quickly evaporated. Even water vapor didn't appear. Instead, a large amount of water was directly swallowed.
Instead, the seawater in the surrounding thousands of kilometers boiled like fire. The intense temperature melted all the creatures in the sea and killed them instantly.
Ye Chen knew that he couldn't stay any longer. Otherwise, in less than an hour, the entire sea would be swallowed up by the black flame.
If he wanted to, the entire Earth could be burned to the tiniest specks of dust in an instant.
Ye Chen used the black flame to open a path and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea with Bai Yijun. Not long after, they arrived on a huge rock at the bottom of the sea. As far as the eye could see, the entire bottom of the sea was pitch-black. Countless mountains and strange rocks stood there. There were also many huge cracks, like the cracks in the earth. Inside the cracks was even deeper sea water.
The water pressure here was already extremely high.
However, Ye Chen's wind barrier could easily resist it.
Ye Chen put away the black flame, and a bright red flame floated above his head, illuminating the surroundings. He looked around and then flew straight ahead.
After flying for a short while, Ye Chen saw the ground at the bottom of the sea. There was a huge gully filled with seawater, and the water pressure was several times that of the outside.
Ye Chen's body didn't stop, and he sank straight in.
The fire illuminated the inside of the gully, and the uneven rocks on the walls on both sides of the gully could be seen in detail.
Ye Chen seemed to be taking a risk, and he kept sinking in this underwater world.
After an unknown period of time, Ye Chen suddenly felt a fluctuation in the water around him. He couldn't help but look down at his feet. He saw a huge light appear in the pitch-black sea water. It was like a dazzling light. When he looked at it, the huge light suddenly expanded upward, and a ferocious and sharp bloody mouth suddenly opened. The surrounding seawater seemed to have found an opening and crazily poured into it.
Ye Chen and Bai Yijun followed the flow of water around them and flew inside.
