Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

A thin mist divided the old Huayang battle formation in two.

Lin Xiao stood in the fog.

Outside the fog.

Su Daji's foxfire darted along the edge of the mist.

The pink foxfire crashed into it, but only penetrated half an inch before being pushed back by an invisible force.

She lowered all nine tails at the same time.

A murderous glint flashed in her eyes, but she forcefully suppressed it.

"Your Majesty."

She only called out once.

There was no forced entry.

Because she knew that no one could choose for Lin Xiao in this crucial moment.

The moonlight from Chang'e fell, spreading inch by inch along the misty surface.

The next moment, the frost was swallowed up by the thin mist.

Not even a trace of water was left.

Michael unfolded his three-layered wings of holy flame.

The holy flames pressed closer inch by inch, only to be pushed back inch by inch.

The old seal on Ye Jia's palm cracked open.

Dark red lines climb up the wrist bone along the palm and then drill deep into the forearm.

She did not back down.

Instead, it took another half step forward.

Four divine powers.

Everything was blocked just half an inch away.

That layer of fog didn't look like a wall.

It's more like an invisible ledger.

The rules were written on the paper.

It says "Do not cross this road".

This moment.

For the first time, the four women clearly realized—

They couldn't protect Lin Xiao.

At least for this moment, we can't protect them.

Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel.

The golden patterns on the stick gradually lit up.

Zhu Qingyan suddenly reached out and gently stopped him.

Her voice was very low.

"What he hears now is home."

Sun Wukong did not scold her.

He didn't shake her off.

He stared at the azure planet in the fog, his face gradually darkening.

"The accountant."

"They've stretched their arms quite far."

In the fog.

Lin Xiao did not move.

He only looked at the planet emerging from the gray marks on his chest.

Azure.

The clouds slowly swirled around the ocean.

The familiar outlines of the continents swept across the planet's surface.

Under the cover of night, tall buildings stand tall.

Traffic flows through the city, forming beams of light.

The signs of the small shops on the street are lit up.

The lights reflected on the road after the rain.

Everything was ordinary.

So ordinary it makes your heart ache.

It's not Earth.

It is Earth.

It was the place he abandoned eighteen years ago.

That instant.

Lin Xiao's hand paused for a moment.

That year, he memorized many names.

Chen Sanshi.

South Gate Guard Battalion.

The side gate leading home.

Leave a record.

And then there are the thirty-seven people behind the door who didn't have time to go home.

But where did he come from?

It was always suppressed in the deepest part.

They said they didn't want to reply.

That's a lie.

Even emperors miss home.

There's nothing shameful about it.

The voice of the Heavenly Emperor came from the depths of the gray marks.

It's very light.

There is no imperial power.

There was no murderous intent.

She was even so gentle that it seemed as if she was considering his best interests.

"Lin Xiao".

"Don't settle their accounts."

"If you settle their accounts, you'll only end up being crushed by their lives."

"You can save them."

"But you can't go back to your own home."

"I'll send you back to Earth."

"You don't need to carry these anymore."

The golden thread on the spine of the Emperor's Sword suddenly tightened.

Outside the fog.

Smoke rose from the old bronze badge on Qin Weiguo's chest.

The blackened copper plate continued to heat up, its interior radiating intense heat.

Liu Bo stared at the old fire board, sweat starting to bead on his forehead.

"wrong."

"Someone is bypassing the old fire link and modifying the question separately."

Chu Shanhe immediately asked, "Can it be cut off?"

Liu Bo shook his head.

"Cannot be intercepted."

"This is not a public link."

"It's not the royal court's main file either."

He pointed to the gray fluctuation on the monitoring board.

"It's like a private door opened from the gray mark on Lin Xiao's chest."

On the monitoring board.

The gray trace fluctuation increased for the third time.

However, there was an unusual gap in the publicly available link to the Wangting website.

Chu Shanhe looked at the blank area.

"If it's a private site, why is there a reaction even on public links?"

Liu Bo's face turned even uglier.

"It's not that a private link entered the public blockchain."

"Someone proactively cleared a section of the public link at the same time."

"To cover up this private door."

He paused, then added.

"And it's not that he didn't use it before."

"The side door of the return route just lit up."

"It gave Gray Mark an entrance that could be disguised as the 'way home'."

Chu Shanhe's eyes darkened.

"So, this was triggered by the side door on the return route?"

Liu Bo lowered his head to take notes, speaking rapidly.

"A conclusion cannot be written."

"But the data is already criticizing us."

Qin Weiguo's face also darkened.

"The Heavenly Emperor is giving him a separate option."

He pressed down on the cracked copper sheet.

"If I were a door key."

"Don't let the royal court decide what to do with it for me."

Chu Shanhe did not hesitate and immediately gave the order.

"Relevant information concerning the Qin family remains undetermined and sealed."

"Unconvicted, unnamed, unidentified person."

"No one is allowed to investigate the collateral branches of the Qin family privately."

The direction of Sanqiancheng.

Zheng Aiguo's voice followed immediately.

"Military review."

"pass."

"Those who violate this rule will be treated as if they were engaging in wartime civil unrest."

Qin Weiguo nodded.

"Can."

There was no explanation.

There was no dissatisfaction.

This is the wartime procedure.

Trust is trust.

The lock must also be put on.

Three thousand cities.

Bai Potian stood on the city wall.

The tip of the knife pressed against the brick seam, and sparks flew from the brick surface.

He cursed.

"You bastard."

"Fighting a war won't work."

"They're quite good at ripping out hearts."

In the fog.

Lin Xiao finally spoke.

"Do you really know where Earth is?"

The Heavenly Emperor answered quickly.

"I know the way."

"I also know why you came here."

Lin Xiao's gaze paused for a moment.

This statement carries more weight than Earth's coordinates.

Of course he wanted to know.

Why did he come here from Earth?

Why are Blue Star, the Celestial Realm, the Old Fire, and the Royal Court all intertwined with his origins?

But he didn't follow up with the question.

The more the Heavenly Emperor wants him to ask a question, the more likely it is to be a trap.

Lin Xiao looked at the gray marks on his chest.

"And the price?"

The Heavenly Emperor chuckled.

"You don't have to pay the price now."

"Just stop first."

Deep within the gray marks.

A thin path of light appeared.

It does not pass through Blue Star.

It does not pass through the celestial realm.

Not included in the royal court's main archives.

They even bypassed the old Huayang formation and the Three Thousand City Army Soul Tower.

That road points directly to the Earth's projection.

At the end of the road, city lights twinkled.

Just take one step forward.

Lin Xiao will be able to stand on that rain-soaked street once again.

The Heavenly Emperor's Way:

"As long as you stop."

"I can give you the Earth's coordinates."

"We won't follow the old path."

"Not to be tried in the royal court."

"Untainted by the karma of Earth."

"If you leave, they won't die."

"If you stay, they will die because of you sooner or later."

"Lin Xiao, you are more clear-headed than they are."

"So you should understand this even more."

"The road to the Emperor is not the road home."

"The more people you carry on your back."

"The further away from your own home you are."

Sounds from outside the fog were cut off.

No one could hear what the Heavenly Emperor said.

But the "Door Retention Register" on the old fire board was trembling.

The half-pattern of the door on the side gate of the return route flickers on and off.

An invisible force pressed heavily upon it.

Chen Sanshi's fame also dimmed for a moment.

The thirty-seven faint sparks behind the door all shrank half an inch into the darkness.

Liu Bo gritted his teeth.

"He changed the question to a choice between two options."

"Lin Xiao is going home."

"Or perhaps Earth will suffer the consequences."

Qin Weiguo said coldly, "File it."

The archivist hesitated for a moment.

"minister."

"No sound was recorded."

Qin Weiguo pressed down on the monitoring station.

"Then record the phenomena."

"First, the old fire link was suppressed by external forces."

"Secondly, the registration book was also disrupted."

"Third, the gray marks seem to have opened a private road that is not publicly accessible."

Fourth, there are obscured gaps in the public access links of the Royal Court.

"Tentative conclusion: The Heavenly Emperor is suspected of using the homecoming coordinates to induce the Human Emperor's seed to withdraw from the clearing account."

His permissions have been reduced to read-only.
