Life Drain System

Chapter 208 - Opening The Portal

    While walking back, Yueliang looks around, and questions. "By the way grandpa, where is Ai Lan? I have not seen her for a while now, but seeing as you knew what I told her, either she told you, or it was just your observation. Has she really not shown up yet? If not, I should go find her." His face filling with worry as he thinks about all the things that could have happened considering recent incidents.

    '*Sigh. With the size of the meteor now becoming ever more apparent and visible, it seems that chaos will quickly spread and things will become troublesome. I guess it would not hurt to do it.'

    Thinking about what Yueliang said only mere moments ago, Rin ignores his grandson for a moment as he starts swiftly spreading his chi out in every direction. It does not take more than 10 seconds before the emperors chi surrounds the planet.

    Feeling that his chi has enshrouded the planet he speaks, and his voice resounds around the globe softly but clear enough that all may hear. "Fear not my people, this is your emperor speaking. While many if not all of you may have seen the incoming meteor, I assure you we will be out of harms way long before it comes in contact with us. However the decision is still up to you if you wish to flee, although I certainly do not recommend such a choice of action. Please go about your business, everything will be resolved before the day is out."

    Hearing his grandfathers voice saying such things, Yueliang feels confused about what is going on and why the emperor was seemingly talking to himself while dazing off into space. Yet deciding not to question it, he keeps his mouth shut as he waits for his gramps to answer his question, or at the very least come back to his senses.

    A few minutes later, as Rin feels his grandsons confounded piercing stares on him, Rin faces him once again and says. "Apologies for the delay, I had to address the people of this planet and ensure that chaos will not run rampant. Regardless, where were we again?"

    With this, Yue quickly asks to sate his curiousity. "What do you mean address you people? Could not have done that with a thought? Why did you talk, and how would they hear you? Sorry, we are getting off topic here. Anyways, I was asking where Ai Lan is..."

    "To answer your other questions first, I spread my chi around the globe, and then used it like the speakers of your old world. That should be what they were called if I am not wrong. Anyways, I sent my voice and projected it through my chi, thus allowing everyone to hear it. Now back to the point at hand, once little Ai was dressed, she ran outside. Although for what reason I am not certain, and now that I think about it, it worries me that I can no longer sense her..." Rin answers as his voice grows worried.

    Feeling shocked that his gramps lost his daughter, even with his divine sense covering who knows how far, he takes a breath to calm himself before he asks. "Grandpa, what do we do? Is there some way to find sister? She is not dead right?"

    "She is likely not dead, as even if she were, I would be able to sense her location. But please do not speak such thoughts. While I would be happy for her, I would also feel sad to lose yet another family member..." Rin answers

    "My apologies, I did not take your feelings into consideration when I asked. So do you have a plan?" Yue comments, before his gramps could answer.

    "It is fine, ugh, I really do not like this method, but at least it works. Sadly it is the only one that we can use at the moment given the circumstances." Rin says as he lifts his sword from its scabbard a little, and lets it fall back in as it slices his thumb open.

    Seeing this happen before his eyes, Yue feels dumbfounded, but just keeps quiet to watch and see what happens despite not knowing what method his gramps meant.

    As the blood quickly flows out of the emperors thumb, Rin mumbles some incomprehensible words, as he pushes his chi into the blood that is leaving his body. Although, as the blood leaves, the wound quickly heals up visibly.

    It is not but a moment later when the blood starts floating in the air, and flying away. At this very same moment, Rin says without looking away from the blood, and moving forward. "Either keep up or stay here, up to you..."

    Hearing this, he laughs a little and starts chasing after the blood as well, having to use the void steps to fold space a few times as both the emperor and the flying blood are evidently far faster than him.

    However when the blood leaves the atmosphere, Yueliang closes his eyes and folds space back to the room they just left as he thinks. 'Clearly I cannot follow as I can not breath and likely not withstand the pressure in space... Guess I just have to wait here or with the others until he returns.'

    It is about thirty minutes later, that Rin returns to see the room he just left filled to the brim with Yueliang's people, as well as many from this world or others, but all being people that he knows. As he opens the doors everyone looks back expecting the bride to be, to be appearing.

    Rin just smiles a little awkwardly at all the expectant stares, and then steps to the side, allowing for Ai Lan to step beside him and then continue into the room dressed in her red traditional Chinese wedding dress, with a large golden phoenix embroidered on it.

    Yueliang swiftly appears before she can take two steps down the red runner, wearing his traditional Chinese wedding apparel as well, with a large golden dragon embroidered on his. The two walk together happily down the aisle and so to does the wedding commence.

    Each step of the ceremony is completed respectfully and well, especially as they bow to heaven and earth, the ancestors, and each other. Eventually when all is said and done, they begin the celebrations, with the cake and other wonderful dishes layed out, thus producing an array of treats not only for the eyes but for the stomach as well.

    As the ceremony is coming to an end Blake walks up to them emperor who is taking a drink, and bows lightly before saying. "Sir emperor, I feel that we should get started on the plan to move the planet, we have the energy shield generators up and running already, and are currently working on the rockets to adjust the alignment, however if you do not mind could we move the planet now? If not now, our chances of pulling this off will dwindle swiftly from here on in."

    The Emperor Rin swallows his drink before looking at Blake, and says. "Alright, I was wondering when I would get to play my part in this grand scheme of yours. If you would gather all those cultivators and tell them to send their chi into the air in this room, I will take care of it immediately. We will be free from the currently impending doom, and ready to face the next." He adds semi jokingly.

    "It will be done." Blake says seriously before going to every person in the room who is not one of her own people, or otherwise. Telling them roughly the same thing. "The emperor has decreed for all cultivators to release their all the chi they can into the air, as it is now the time that we will be saving the planet and its inhabitants now." 

    With these words, they all did as instructed save a few who either felt there was no need or too arrogant to do so. Either way, all the high orcs, high goblins, and even Yueliang start feeling their insides stir as they are exposed to so much strong and purified chi at once. Despite there being chi everywhere, and even making up ones body, places that are packed with such density of chi are not all that common, hence most of such places being called immortal caves or something similar.

    As the room fills with chi, Rin absorbs it swiftly, and begins opening the portal to the location that Yueliangs people have previously shown him, and as seconds turn to minutes, the portal in front of the orbit of the planet gets larger and larger until it is large enough to engulf the entire planet, and depending on the timing, maybe even the moon, however unlikely that would be.. However he still tries to make it large enough to do so, despite the timing likely not being right.
