Sitting on the wasteland, Luo Shuangyue opened her eyes.
She let out a long, helpless sigh.
“What is it? Did you fail to find Mentor?” Xia Mo asked with confusion when she saw Luo Shuangyue in such a state.
Luo Shuangyue shook her head. It would have been better if she actually hadn’t found her.
After realizing what a massive mess she was currently facing, Luo Shuangyue felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
She was just a little one who had only been an adult for a few years — why did she suddenly have to persuade two old antiques, who had lived for who knows how long, to get along peacefully?
And more importantly, she had absolutely no idea how to communicate with those two World Consciousnesses.
They had already lost their heads, thinking only of making the other die.
A struggle at this level was simply too metaphysical and difficult for her to understand!
“I found her. Moreover, Mother told me many, many things. She also said our world is almost finished.”
“I can tell that much…” Xia Mo’s gaze drifted toward the army of monsters surging ahead.
If these monsters ever broke through White Night’s Defensive Line, they would undoubtedly bring total disaster to their world.
“Things aren’t as simple as you think. The extinction of all life in the entire world is just the beginning. After our people are all dead, they will all reincarnate into my Dad’s world, bringing total disaster to that world as well.” Luo Shuangyue briefly explained the current dangerous situation, where not a single mistake could be tolerated.
As long as the balance on either side was broken, life in both worlds would be finished.
As for when these two worlds would head toward destruction together, no one knew. Because when that day arrived, not a single living being would remain in either world.
“So, you understand why I’m sighing now, right?”
“Is there no solution? Not even Mentor has one?”
“There is. Persuade the world that raised us to let go of its hatred and live in peace with the world it crashed into, creating a beautiful future together.” Luo Shuangyue shrugged, speaking in a joking tone.
As for the possibility of success, it was basically zero.
“According to Mother, our world has completely lost its head. Even she cannot establish communication with it. What we need to do now is actually simple to say: make the two heated World Consciousnesses calm down for a moment and listen to us.”
“The World Consciousness is not heartless. In fact, they care for their children deeply. When the living beings in a world reach a consensus and make a collective request, the World Consciousness will actively comply with the prayers of its children. But the problem now is that the World Consciousness has lost its head; she can no longer hear those prayers.”
At this moment, the two World Consciousnesses were like two chess players in an intense match.
All their attention was focused on killing the opponent.
Anything anyone else said in their ears would be ignored as noise.
It was the same for the Holy Sovereign’s voice, and the same for White Night’s voice.
And what Luo Shuangyue had to do now was to make these two World Consciousnesses hear what their chosen Children of the World had to say.
“Then what should we do?”
“I don’t know. Mother said she can probably hold on for about one month. If we still can’t find a solution during this time, then…”
“Will we die?”
Xia Mo, who had just experienced a life-and-death crisis, asked abruptly.
However, she was wrong this time. They actually wouldn’t die.
“No. The Path Creatures are cleaning out our world, but this place won’t be affected.” Luo Shuangyue pointed to the grey earth beneath their feet.
This was the middle ground created after the two worlds collided, and also the bridge connecting the two worlds.
If they hid here, they wouldn’t be affected by those Path Creatures.
Of course, one could hide for a moment but not for a lifetime.
While they could indeed evade the Demon’s cleansing of the world here, when both worlds headed toward destruction together, those living in this rift would also face the end along with the world.
This might be something that would only happen a very, very long time from now.
But if things really reached the point where they had to scrape by here just to survive, then that destructive future would become an inevitable fact.
“So, don’t treat this place as our fallback. This is just a choice to linger on after our efforts have failed.”
“Besides, Xia Mo, could you really stand by and watch the comrades who once fought side by side with us be slaughtered by the Demons while we hide here and do nothing just to survive?”
Xia Mo didn’t answer Luo Shuangyue’s question because the answer was obvious.
She couldn’t do it.
Her bond with everyone was the source of her power, so it was impossible for her to abandon everyone and live a shameful life with Luo Shuangyue at a time like this.
“Mother told me that if things really head toward that ending we all don’t want to see, she won’t choose to hide here and watch her world be destroyed. She will go back and fight until the last moment.”
“I think it’s the same for Dad. No matter which side of this scale is overwhelmed first, it will eventually push our world toward destruction like falling dominoes. So, we only have this one month.”
After listening to Luo Shuangyue, Xia Mo pressed her brow with a heavy expression.
That was all well and good, but what should they do now?
She really couldn’t think of any good way.
“Stop thinking about it. You’re not some great genius. It’s better for everyone to brainstorm on this kind of thing.”
“Huh? But there are only the two of us here…”
“Mother told me that Shuang Xing also felt her way over here. Since that girl dared to come, she must have a way to go back. We can just go find her directly.”
Although White Night, the mother, didn’t have much of a motherly personality, she was still quite reliable.
She hadn’t forgotten to tell Luo Shuangyue the news of Luo Shuangxing’s arrival.
She even gave Luo Shuangyue directions, saying that Luo Shuangxing could be found by heading that way.
What Luo Shuangyue had to do now was very simple: find her sister, return to the human world with her, and tell the Mentors the news she knew.
Then, they would pool the wisdom of all the Mentors to see if they could find a better way.
If the situation couldn’t be salvaged even like that, then Luo Shuangyue could only regretfully admit that the difficulty of the matter exceeded her imagination, and their world was surely doomed.
‘When the time comes, everyone will meet again in the other world. Then, you won’t know me and I won’t know you. We’ll all become Demons together to destroy the world and get our revenge.’
“Shuang Xing came over, too? How did she get here?”
“That child has had a stubborn personality since she was little. After she sent the two of us here, she definitely didn’t feel good. She would surely think of a way to make amends. Right now is probably her trying to come and fix her mistake.”
As for how to find Luo Shuangxing, that was a bit of a hassle. Fortunately, Luo Shuangyue had already mastered the way of moving in this Borderland where space was fractured.
Combined with the direction White Night pointed out, it shouldn’t take her much time to find her sister.
Actually, Luo Shuangxing wasn’t currently in this large spatial fragment they were in, but in another small fragment that had detached from this large one not long ago.
That was also the place where Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo had previously arrived through the Exile Magic Circle.
“Mother originally planned for us to go look for her directly after we arrived in this world. As it turned out, the place where the transmission beacon was set somehow detached from this piece of space.”
Because the friction between the two worlds was becoming increasingly deep and intense, this Borderland would naturally be affected.
Or rather, the impact here was the greatest.
The manifestation of this was that the space here was extremely unstable.
The spatial fragments they were in could shatter at any time, throwing the people inside into the perilous and terrifying Star Sea.
“So that’s how it is… Then the transmission magic circle we saw before was also Mentor’s handiwork?”
“Of course. Mother is so powerful. Even if space is shattered, she can still break through it to send her power over. Didn’t she directly send her sword to the top of my head earlier?”
Luo Shuangyue, who had almost been killed by her own mother with a falling object from a high altitude, spread her hands and spoke with a bit of a complaint.
But Luo Shuangxing definitely didn’t have Mother’s invincible ability.
That child was probably completely in the dark right now, struggling to find traces of the two within that small fragment.
If Luo Shuangyue didn’t go over to find her, she might never find where Luo Shuangyue was.
“I’ll open the spatial channel first. Wait a moment.” Starlight appeared from Luo Shuangyue’s hand, and a brand-new magic circle began to form in front of her.
This time, her goal was to find her sister!
“There are traces they left behind, and Mother’s aura… What exactly is this place?”
Nervously clutching several Sealing Cards, Luo Shuangxing walked alone across this lifeless Grey Wasteland.
She saw those White Phantoms and those pitch-black monsters.
She also saw that phantom that looked exactly like the mother in her memories, only dressed in White Night attire.
Undoubtedly, that was her mother — a magical creation of her mother’s.
Luo Shuangxing had tried to communicate with those phantoms, but in the end, she could only get the exact same answer.
These phantoms pointed out a path for her to leave this place.
When she followed this path to its end, she found a magic circle.
This magic circle had not been triggered, and Luo Shuangxing didn’t dare to bet on whether Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo had left this place through a similar magic circle.
The Recall Magic in her hand also had a distance limit.
If she was unfortunately teleported by this magic circle to a place even further away where the Recall Magic wouldn’t work, then Luo Shuangxing would have nowhere to cry.
Right now, Luo Shuangyue wasn’t actually that anxious to find her two sisters.
After all, there were so many traces left by Mother here; her sisters would definitely be fine.
