Chapter 1164A – Returning Home

Chapter 1164A – Returning Home

When Qin Yu opened his eyes, he saw the dividing line between light and darkness above him. He raised a hand and touched his wet face. He had been crying.

The bitter feeling hadn’t fully vanished. Qin Yu rubbed his hands and then pinched the bridge of his nose…mm, something wasn’t right…

As he rubbed his forehead at this time, he could feel something soft and cool…it seemed like…the finger of a woman…

This feeling only existed for an instant before it vanished.

But Qin Yu’s complexion turned even stranger. Because he was sure that what he experienced just now wasn’t a dream.

Since it wasn’t a dream, it meant that someone had helped him see the origin of light and darkness.

Accomplishing this was undoubtedly a very difficult matter. But Qin Yu just happened to know one person beside him who could achieve this.

She was also a woman!

Feature…or to be more accurate, she was Feature’s main body.

Just who was she? It had to be known that the cage Qin Yu was currently in was formed from the gathered strength of the bright world and abyss world.

Even the mysterious and formidable blue little lamp chose to temporarily hide away, yet she dared to interfere. And looking at things, she had been successful.

Qin Yu didn’t know that when the finger mark arrived, the strength of the two great worlds had almost erupted. If he did, he would be covered in a cold sweat.

After all, if he were to lose his life while he was sleeping, while not being able to react at all…that would just be horrible!

He took a deep breath and pushed down these complex thoughts. He looked up at the light and darkness above him, and his eyes began to bloom with radiance.

Light and darkness were originally one body. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, just how many people in the bright world and abyss world would dare to believe him? Expanding this thought further, it could be understood that the two hostile great worlds were essentially the same.

Because whether it was light or darkness, they were both born from the infinite chaos.

If this was true, it meant that the beings of the bright world and abyss world were no different. It was just that they lived in different worlds, thus they were entrusted with different types of strength.

Was this the reason why Feature had such a different attitude towards the life forms of the abyss? As expected, she already knew about this.

“The same, you are all the same…there is no difference between light and darkness…then when you become light, you also become darkness…”

Qin Yu whispered to himself. He closed his eyes once again.

But this time, he didn’t fall into a deep slumber. He kept replaying the previous images he saw in his mind.

In the light and darkness, the passing of time lost all meaning. When Qin Yu opened his eyes, he had no idea how much time had passed. But this was unimportant, because between the light and darkness, there was no concept of time.

“It’s probably like this.” Qin Yu muttered and stood up. Silently, he stepped towards the light.

One step, two steps, three steps…

He stopped!

Because this was the boundary of the balance point.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and stepped forward. He closed his eyes…and nothing happened. Everything was as calm as it was in the beginning.

He had succeeded!

…

After the tsunami passed, Black City was soon reconstructed. The wharf outside the city was rebuilt even faster.

Large ships swayed up and down on the sea. The conditions for entering the sea were ripe, but after the dramatic events of before, no one was willing to take the first step.

Without a doubt, a great accident had occurred in the Cold Sea. There was a high possibility it was a lucky chance…but it could also be disaster and calamity.

Old Fox’s complexion was pale. He left the wharf. He had tried every means possible, but no one was willing to take him out to sea. Or to be more precise, for the next few months, the ships at the wharf would be in a state of repair…after all, it was necessary to give the outside world an explanation so that they didn’t appear too cowardly.

But being cowardly was cowardly!

Old Fox spat onto the ground. Just as he was about to say something his complexion changed and he soared into the skies.

Soon, he returned to the inn and shut the door tight.

Shua –

Shadows twisted and Shadowless Demon appeared, “How is it?”

Old Fox didn’t even pause to answer. He flipped his hand. Demonic energy surged and a sealed iron box appeared. At this moment, the surface of the iron box was lit up. Demonic runes writhed like living creatures, squirming and intertwining into four words – wait for my return.

Old Fox and Shadowless Demon glanced at each other. With faces full of excitement, they laughed into the skies.

They knew that nothing would happen to the young master. How could such a character, who also had a True King guard, die easily?

Although they didn’t know where Qin Yu went, since he had left behind these words, he would certainly come back.

“From here on out, Black City is our home.”

“Mm, we’ll stay here and wait for the young master to return.”

…

A warm and familiar atmosphere spread out from the light as Qin Yu stepped into it.

Qin Yu knew that from this moment, he had returned to the bright world.

He looked forward. What was displayed in front of him was a vast and radiant celestial chart.

It was composed of countless dense spots of light. Some spots of light were large, and some were extremely small.

His eyes subconsciously widened. This was because he had discovered something. Each spot of light represented…a world!

That’s right, this was the vast brightness.

It was different from the abyss but there was no essential difference. The abyss was separated in layer after layer, but the vast brightness was like islands distrusted across a sea.

Their distances varied.

After his surprise passed, Qin Yu revealed a look of acclaim. So this was the vast brightness world.

Countless trillions of creatures were born because of it and lived in the endless vast brightness world, but how many people had seen its true appearance?

Thinking this way, Qin Yu was undoubtedly lucky.

But why did a map of the entire vast brightness world appear before him? Was he supposed to choose what place he wanted to return to?

Besides this, Qin Yu couldn’t think of any other possibility. Could this be that the vast brightness world was allowing Qin Yu to choose his ruling domain in order to commend his achievements in the abyss? For instance, if he casually pointed somewhere, that would become territory he ruled.

Tsk tsk, that was too fantastical of a story!

After taking a deep breath and focusing his senses, he could feel a weak and kind aura coming from the celestial chart. As he looked closer, the map enlarged in front of him. A small point of light appeared.

It was very, very small. If he hadn’t enlarged it many times, he would never have found its position on this giant celestial chart.

This was…his hometown!

It was the place where Ning Ling and You Qi were!

Qin Yu’s heart beat with excitement. Many years had passed since he crossed worlds. He was originally thinking that after returning to the vast brightness world, he would try to figure out a way to return to his home world as soon as possible.

He never imagined that the vast brightness world would be helpful. After looking at the small point of light, he slowly became aware of something. If he reached out a hand and touched it, then as long as he wasn’t rejected by the world’s aura, he would directly enter.

Home! I have to go home!

The vast brightness celestial chart was boundless. It was unknown how many small and large worlds had been born. But no matter how many places he traveled to or how powerful he was, there would only ever be one home.

Mm?

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows, because at this moment, he could feel something strange from the spot of light before him.

As if some very formidable aura…and more than one…was occupying this world.

But Qin Yu knew that as a small world, it was difficult for truly powerful existences to be born.

Moreover, these formidable auras felt strange and unfamiliar.

Something was wrong!

His face darkened. Then, the light in front of him flickered and a trace of dark aura was released from it.

Although it was weak, it wasn’t able to hide from Qin Yu’s senses. His eyes sharpened – the aura of the abyss!

As someone who was recently chased down and hunted by the abyss’ will, and who barely managed to escape death, he would never mistake it.

Just what had happened? Why would the abyss’ aura be there? Qin Yu lifted a hand and grasped forward, and this dark aura fell into his hands.

Sacrifice…summoning…

This seemed to be a special type of abyssal ritual. In exchange for sacrifices, a person could obtain the strength of the abyss or summon the projection of an abyssal life form.

Hou –

At this moment, a roar filled with blood and anger entered Qin Yu’s ears. It was indignant and angry that he had intercepted its sacrificial offering.

A cold chill flashed in his eyes. Qin Yu coldly snorted and the dark aura in his hands shattered.

The angry roar turned into a scream of panic and pain. Qin Yu didn’t delay any further. He took a step forward and vanished from sight.
