Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 254 Lost in the Void

【Waaaaah... Master, you don't love me anymore. You don't care about me at all.】 The dog suddenly seemed to have suffered some kind of blow and started to whine and cry, rolling around while crying. It had already swelled up into a big ball, and its movement was so loud that it shook the earth.

and many more!

The earth really shook.

Qiu Ci felt a violent shaking of the ground, and the entire hall began to sway, with even small stones falling down with a whooshing sound.

"Doggy, stop playing around, this place is going to collapse!" She instinctively grabbed the dog system and tried to leave, but when she got to the door she realized... she couldn't pull it anymore, it was too big. "Can't you shrink a little?"

"No, Master, I have too much energy. This is already my compressed size." It had just devoured the main god and absorbed so much energy from the system that it simply couldn't digest it all.

She subconsciously tried to recall the system to her mind, but found that she couldn't. Seeing that the main hall was about to collapse completely, Qiu Ci had no choice but to summon her magic sword and cleave the door and wall in one stroke. Then she used her immortal power to condense a rope, tied up the dog, and flew out.

Fortunately, although the dog was large, it was actually just a mass of energy and had little weight, so it was easily dragged out.

When the two rushed out, they discovered that not only the main hall but the entire Ninth Heaven was collapsing. This place was originally a half-finished world created by the main god, and now that the main god had disappeared, the space lost its support and naturally began to collapse.

"We have to get out of here right away!" Qiu Ci's heart sank, and she flew away from the palace with the giant dog.

But it was too late. The space collapsed very quickly. In just a few breaths, the magnificent palace complex had completely vanished, leaving not even ruins. Then came the floating mountains below and the surrounding immortal energy, and then even the sky began to crack and close.

"Damn system, can you find a way out?" she asked anxiously while shielding herself from the surrounding gale.

"Master, this is a sealed space with no exit. We're trapped inside," the dog said weakly. "However, I can try to create a spatial passage."

“It’s too late…” Qiu Ci’s voice turned somber.

Sure enough, everything disappeared within a few breaths. The entire world had completely collapsed. The last thing to disappear was the light, as if a lightbulb had been turned off, and the person and the unified were plunged into endless darkness.

"Master, what should we do? The space has collapsed, and it seems we've fallen into the chaotic void." The dog system asked in a panic.

“Void…” Qiu Ci was stunned for a moment, looking at the darkness around her. For a moment, she felt as if her own existence had disappeared. Fortunately, the golden light on the dog system dispelled the feeling of being swallowed by the darkness.

All around was silent. The dog was large enough to radiate golden light like a sun, and it wasn't completely black.

“Dog system, do you know how to get back from here?” she asked.

[Master, the void is endless. Without any guidance, it's impossible to locate our original world. Waaah... Master, we can't go back.] The dog system was in despair and cried even louder.

Qiu Ci glanced at the pitch-black void, but inexplicably calmed down. "Since the Supreme God cleaved the Nine Heavens in this void, it proves this place isn't far from the original world. And since it can communicate with the Immortal Realm, it must have a way back." [Oh right.] The dog system suddenly realized. Although it had eaten the Supreme God, it hadn't had time to digest the data and naturally hadn't thought of these things. [As expected of the great master of Blue Star, I'll quickly digest the Supreme God and find a way back as soon as possible.]

As it spoke, the entire ball of light stopped moving, the golden light on its body began to flash, and a series of data on the sphere flashed by rapidly like a screen being refreshed, and the surroundings became completely quiet.

Qiu Ci didn't disturb her, but instead sat down cross-legged and began meditating in this void. For some reason, since entering this void, she didn't experience any negative emotions like panic. Instead, she felt unexpectedly peaceful, as if she had abandoned all distracting thoughts and returned to her truest self. Moreover, she had a vague feeling that something in this void was waiting for her.

The unification by one person came to an end, and the void returned to tranquility, as if all things had returned to stillness, and everything had fallen into slumber.

------

The Immortal Realm at this time.

Qinghe and Youming simultaneously withdrew their hands from the spell, then looked at the person in front of them whose injuries had finally stabilized and asked, "Fellow Daoist Juanshan, how are you feeling?"

Juanshan took a deep breath, and the pain in his body subsided a bit. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you both, Immortal Venerables."

“Fellow Daoist Juanshan, there’s no need to be so polite.” Qinghe waved his hand, then took out a pill and said, “This is a Heart Nourishing Pill. Taking it will protect your heart meridian and prevent damage to your foundation.”

Juanshan did not hesitate and ate it directly. Sure enough, the previously congested meridians became clearer, and the lost immortal power in his body began to recover.

"What exactly happened? How could the Western Immortal Realm suddenly suffer such a calamity? Where is Fellow Daoist Chu?" Youming asked anxiously.

“It was the main god…” Juanshan then recounted how he had been ambushed by the main god while protecting the monk, and how Qiuci had been taken away.

"Emperor...Emperor!" The two widened their eyes in shock. The one who made the move was actually that person from the Ninth Heaven. "Isn't Fellow Daoist Chu one of the Emperor's people? How could this be?"

"My master has never been anyone's person. On the contrary, the existence of the main god originated from my master." Juanshan frowned deeply, suppressing his anger as he looked at the two seriously and said, "I cannot go into the details of the matter, but could you please tell me the method to open the Nine Heavens?"

Juanshan felt extremely anxious. The Venerable One had been captured by the Supreme God and must have gone to the Nine Heavens. The Nine Heavens were independent of the Immortal Realm, and he had no idea where it was. Moreover, the Venerable One had left most of the spiritual energy machines in the Immortal Venerable Palace. Although he had faith in the Lord, he couldn't guarantee that other problems wouldn't arise.

Both of them paled. Although they were Celestial Venerables, considered the strongest beings in the Celestial Realm, the Emperor's unfathomable power was a universally acknowledged fact. His strength was such that even the ambitious Mu Xi and Ling Hua had never considered daring to challenge him, and naturally, they were no different. However…

“I will go with you!” Youming answered firmly after only a moment’s thought. “My life was given to me by Fellow Daoist Chu. Now that she is in trouble, I can simply repay her!”

"Senior sister..." Qinghe's expression changed, wanting to say something, but when she met the other's firm gaze, she could only sigh and say, "Fine, count me in too. If senior sister goes, I will naturally follow."

Juanshan truly hadn't expected the two to help, but thinking of the Venerable One, he figured having one more person meant more security, so he didn't refuse and bowed to them again, saying, "Thank you, Venerable Ones."
