Chapter 242 White Emperor
It feels so good to do something and then run away!
Nine heavens, beneath the springs, Russell suddenly came back to life.

The two pills he handed to Qiao'er were carefully prepared by him.

One pill for Gangzi, and one for myself.

No matter how brilliant Liang Gangzi was, he would never have imagined this, and in the end, he still had to obediently submit.

whee.

Beside him, Jiang Chen slowly awoke, his eyes brimming with tears, as if filled with unspeakable sorrow.

What did you see?

Back on shore, Russell saw Jiang Chen still kneeling on the bank, staring blankly at the water, and couldn't help but ask him curiously.

“Going back to the past, I changed some things that were originally unchangeable, but it all feels like a dream…” Jiang Chen clenched her fist. She was unsure whether what she had experienced was reality or a fictional dream.

If this is reality, then why hasn't anything changed?

If it's a dream, then why are the people in the dream so real?

According to Jiang Chen's account, she returned to two hundred years ago, before the Yu Ling tribe was destroyed, on the eve of Si Yu Dan's marriage to the emperor, and she returned to her own body.

With her current inner strength and vision, she effortlessly wiped out the invading Li tribe and lived the life she had always dreamed of for a long time, until later, she felt a rejection between her body and soul, which forced her to withdraw and return to the present.

Is that so?
Russell roughly guessed what had happened.

This extraterrestrial meteorite can take them back to the place they most want to go and the time they most desire.

He returned to the era of Tiangang because that was the only period he had an impression of.

Jiang Chen returned to the time before the destruction of the Feather Spirit Tribe because that was where her inner conflict lay.

The reason why he is in the primordial spirit form while Jiang Chen is in his childhood form is simply because he was not yet born at that time.

As for why his return to the past became history, while Jiang Chen's altered trajectory did not cause any ripples in the world, Russell speculated that it was mostly due to the difference in the weight of their lives.

“It’s true,” Russell said confidently from behind Jiang Chen.

"I hope so." After a while, Jiang Chen and Russell walked out of Jiu Gai and returned to the outside of the valley. "Now that my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, I must go to Rao Jiang to find Ying Gou and the others. What are the plans, Grand Preceptor?"

"Me?" Russell looked up in the direction of Qi Kingdom: "Of course I'm going back to Qi Kingdom to get married."

……

Da Feng, overseas.

The night was deep, a full moon hung in the sky, casting its pure white light, and the stars were few and far between.

The cabin of the Thousand Machine Ship.

"Hey Russell, what's that commotion outside...?"

Li Miaozhen, who had just fallen asleep after being tossed around by Russell, yawned, opened her eyes sleepily, and spoke in a coquettish tone with a hint of laziness.

The brocade quilt slipped off, revealing her fair and delicate body, like a flawless piece of jade, with large patches of hickeys remaining on her chest.

"The fox has successfully broken through."

Russell turned his head to look in one direction, his eyes gleaming with a glassy hue, and through the cabin he saw a silver-haired enchantress with a graceful figure and an infinitely beautiful back view under the moonlight.

Her skin was as white as jade, her arms were slender and long, her collarbones were delicate, and her body lines suddenly narrowed at her waist, revealing her sexy and charming belly button.

She was so elegant and noble, like a spirit born of heaven and earth, full of holiness, with nine fluffy fox tails dancing freely behind her.

"I'll go take a look," Russell informed her.

"Okay." Li Miaozhen nodded, tilted her head back and lay down to sleep again; all she wanted to do now was rest.

Russell immediately got out of bed, quickly put on his robe, dressed himself properly, and then collapsed into a shadow and disappeared into the room.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on achieving the first rank."

Russell approached the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and offered his congratulations.

"It's all thanks to you, my lord." The nine-tailed celestial fox, completely disregarding her naked state, smiled sweetly.

The sea area where they are located is called Guixu, which is located in the southern part of the Kyushu land, equivalent to the South Pole of the Earth.

Beneath the Ruins lies an island called "Gods and Demons," where the corpses of gods and demons who perished in ancient times are piled up, and all sorts of spiritual energy permeates the island's perimeter.

The bloodline of the nine-tailed fox originates from the Qingqiu fox, and its remains also exist on this island.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox successfully broke through and advanced to the first rank by devouring this relic.

The two humans and the fox met on Dragon Island, which was inhabited by the dragon people. They then traveled together and, through Russell's insightful understanding of the heavens, "accidentally" discovered the island.

The "gate" symbolizing the authority of Heaven in the Great Feng World is located on this island.

This island is covered with the spiritual essence of "time" and "space". Spatial rifts are everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be separated and teleported. Moreover, all living and dead things in the world will be slowed down tenfold after entering it.

Russell was too lazy to put much effort into this; his path lay elsewhere, and there was no need to waste his energy on this door.

It's more appropriate to leave the arduous task of being a gatekeeper to Xu Qi'an.

"Once we return to Kyushu, my lord will command all demons to launch a counterattack on the Western Regions. I hope you will not hesitate to lend a hand then." The nine-tailed celestial fox crossed her arms, leaned forward, raised her heavy expression of sincerity, and rubbed against Russell's arm.

"..." Russell's gaze lingered on the nine-tailed fox's body and chest for a few seconds. Just as he was about to try dribbling, his right eye twitched, his expression changed immediately, he took a step back, and glanced away: "Men and women should not touch each other. What is Your Majesty doing?"

"Russell, what are you doing?!"

Just then, Li Miaozhen stormed out of the Thousand Machine Ship, her face flushed with anger. She was only wearing a moon-white undergarment, and the silver spear in her hand gleamed in the moonlight. She had sensed something was wrong earlier. Her family's Russell was always popular, and sure enough, she knew that this fox had no good intentions.

Especially these two large fruits growing on the slender branches, they're so big, yet they're still heavy!

The nine-tailed fox casually took out a set of clothes and put them on, then looked at Li Miaozhen with a charming smile: "Master Li, please don't be angry. I just saw that you were fast asleep and wanted to reward Luo Langjun." "Hmph, Luo Su, let's go." Li Miaozhen glared at the nine-tailed fox, took Luo Su's arm, and turned to leave without saying another word.

Inside the cabin, Li Miaozhen earnestly advised, "Russell, there are too many bad women out there. You must protect yourself."

Russell's actions and answers naturally did not disappoint Li Miaozhen. He put his arm around Li Miaozhen's slender waist and licked her earlobe: "Don't worry, in my heart, Miaozhen, you are unique."

"That's more like it..." The intimacy of her lover brightened Li Miaozhen's mood considerably. Feeling her chest being covered by a large, burning hand, she looked down and couldn't help but purse her lips: "Hmph! A vixen is a vixen! What's the use of being so big? It's inconvenient even in battle."

"Yes, yes, yes." Russell agreed, while hugging Li Miaozhen's waist and lifting her up so that her back was to him. Li Miaozhen quickly said in a coquettish voice, "Oh dear, I just took a bath."

"Let's take another shower together later."

……

At dawn, a thin mist hangs over the South China Sea, and the vibrant colors of the sunrise separate the sky from the sea.

The morning stars were few and far between in the azure sky, and a few seabirds glide leisurely by, flying freely close to the blue-purple sea surface.

Russell stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, and sailed forward as if cutting through the waves.

A few feet behind, a nine-tailed fox with a fur coat tied around her waist, which served as a skirt, sat leaning against the ship's railing, squinting her foxy eyes as she gazed at the distant sea. Li Miaozhen stood on the lookout platform, her hands on her hips, her cloak fluttering in the sea breeze.

They've been at sea for three months now, and it's about time they returned to Kyushu.

Whether it's the battle between heaven and man, the Hidden Dragon City, or the God of Gu, there should be a conclusion.

The ship had been sailing for a long time. According to the established route, they should have landed in the southern border region. Now he had enough confidence to face the Gu God directly and ask for the truth.

"Hey, Russell, there's an island up ahead!"

Suddenly, Li Miaozhen on the watchtower transmitted her voice. Russell looked closely and saw that there was indeed a small island in the sky above the sea not far away.

The island was extremely abrupt, teeming with life, with countless rare trees and precious treasures, a scene completely unlike anything that should exist in this desolate sea area.

"Something's wrong." The nine-tailed fox also noticed this illogical scene and narrowed her eyes to stare at it.

“Not only is there a problem, but the problem is huge,” Russell added, diverting a wisp of his mind to envelop the ship.

Of the three, Li Miaozhen's cultivation was insufficient in every sense, and the Nine-Tailed Fox's vision was too limited. Both the human and the fox only noticed the empty island in front of them, completely unaware of the terrifying killing intent hidden beneath the sea.

Only Russell, whose cultivation level had reached the limit of the first rank in this world after being superimposed, could easily pass through the illusion array that covered nearly a hundred miles above and below the sea surface, cross the dark and lightless deep sea, and glimpse the extremely deep underwater rift valley.

In the dark depths of the sea, the water ripples, and the Great Rift Valley is like the gaping maw of a monster, waiting for lost fish to walk into its trap.

At the very bottom of this rift valley lies a colossal monster, its body resembling a goat, covered in keratinous patches, with a face that closely resembles a human's, two rows of eyes on its cheeks, and six long, curved, sharp horns covered in mysterious patterns on its head.

Great wasteland.

A survivor from the ancient era of gods and demons, a powerful super-grade god and demon, possessing the innate ability to devour all things. Due to severe damage suffered during the civil war between gods and demons, half of his spiritual essence returned to the Great Dao. He escaped by feigning death and hid overseas to recuperate.

As luck would have it, on their return journey, in this vast ocean spanning hundreds of millions of miles, they unexpectedly met again.

And He also discovered them, otherwise the island could not have appeared out of thin air.

“Russell?” Li Miaozhen leaped onto the deck and came to Russell’s side. She had never seen Russell show such a cautious expression before. “This enemy is very troublesome?”

“A little, but not much.” Russell chuckled and comforted her, then turned to the Nine-Tailed Fox and instructed, “I’m going to the island to check the situation. You guys avoid the island and continue forward. If a fight breaks out later, you take Miao Zhen and leave at full speed. We’ll meet in the capital.”

His cultivation has improved to the point where it can no longer be measured by so-called ranks. The boundary between first rank and super rank is not in essence, energy, and spirit, but in authority. Right now, he is only one step away from that position: mastering a path that belongs to him.

This line was not an insurmountable barrier for Russell.

He had long wanted to test his skills against a top-tier expert, but now the Great Wilderness had stumbled upon him; he could only say he was unlucky.

“Okay.” The nine-tailed fox nodded, bent her legs slightly, and suddenly exerted her strength to reach the cockpit of the Thousand Machine Ship, connecting herself to the ship’s hull with her own energy.

Seeing this, Russell did not hesitate any longer and leaped onto the island.

The island is not large, but it is full of vitality. A terrifying, azure vortex that seems to have no end quietly sits in the center of the island.

Just as Russell approached the vortex, it suddenly began to boil. Then, a point of silver light appeared, formed from white light. Its body resembled a deer, covered with snow-white scales, with deer antlers, horse hooves, a snake tail, a cow nose, crocodile lips, and a lion mane. Its eyes were azure vertical pupils, beautiful yet eerie.

The moment He fully manifested, the surrounding vitality surged to a new level.

"The successor of the Gu God." The White Emperor's tone was low and calm, its azure eyes fixed on Russell. As it spoke, the scales on its cheeks opened and closed, revealing tender red gills: "You've been to God and Demon Island?"

Russell frowned. It wasn't just boasting; at his current level, saying he could come and go without a trace was definitely not an exaggeration. Whether it was the Witch God Sect or the Western Regions' Aranka, he was confident he could come and go freely without disturbing the sleeping Witch God and Buddha. How come today he was not only discovered by the heavily injured Great Wilderness, but his whereabouts were also confirmed by him?

As if sensing Russell's confusion, the White Emperor took the initiative to explain: "'Time' and 'space' are the most fundamental rules of this world. When we surrounded and killed them, I also participated in it, paid a huge price, and also devoured some of their spiritual essence."

It turned out to be the case.

Russell nodded.

The scent of time is the hardest to dispel. Out of curiosity, he had previously explored the outer areas of the God and Demon Island and absorbed some of its spiritual essence.

"Is there any unusual activity at the gate?" Bai Di continued to ask.

Russell did not reply, but stared directly at the White Emperor. This White Emperor clone in the Great Wilderness was also a strong one among the first-rank beings. Apart from the mechanism restraint of the terrestrial immortals and the numerical crushing of the first-rank martial artists, he had almost no rivals.

Even Russell would need to exert a full ten percent of his strength to completely extinguish His life force.

"Why don't you answer?" the White Emperor said slowly. "I have no ill intentions. The Nine Provinces are about to change, and this world is about to change. This is the second time since the beginning of time that the world has changed. The last time the world changed, the era of gods and demons ended. Apart from the Gu God, no god or demon born from heaven and earth could survive. If there are changes in the sect, we should communicate with each other."

“What I mean is,” Russell put his index finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, then grinned, “beat me and I’ll tell you. If you win, I’ll also give you a bonus piece of information about the goalkeeper.”

In Bai Di's azure eyes, the vertical pupils contracted sharply, like a cat encountering bright light: "You know the gatekeeper?"

“Beat me and I’ll tell you,” Russell repeated.
