I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

I'm not familiar with this ancient Tang Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Emperor Yu looked at Wang Wei in surprise.

He had lived through countless ages, witnessed the decline of countless races, and the emergence of a sea of ​​blood; he knew all too well the weight of the words "Ancient Tang."

Above the sea of ​​blood, the man with blood-stained face stared intently at Wang Wei.

"No wonder they are descendants of the ancient Tang Dynasty; their styles of doing things are exactly the same."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei felt a headache coming on. Was this person planning to cling to him?

"You call yourself the shop owner," the blood-stained man stared at Wang Wei, "and claim your reputation is trusted by all humans in this star field? Then let me ask you—"

He stepped forward, his tone increasingly aggressive, "Then let me ask you, how do you intend to repay the eternal blood debt of the ancient Tang Dynasty—its destruction of the starry sky, its enslavement of all races, and its purging of the universe?"

Wang Wei frowned: "My reputation as the shop owner is beyond question. But what does Gu Tang's debt have to do with me?"

Why should this debt, which dates back to who-knows-how-many years ago, be pinned on him?

Ancient grievances, a blood feud spanning millennia.

He was just an ordinary person born in a small world, who gradually rose to where he is today, diligently protecting humanity and resisting the cataclysmic disaster.

Having never been tainted by even a trace of the sins of the ancient Tang Dynasty, why should I bear this blood debt for the ancient Tang Dynasty for no reason?

"Heh..." The man with blood-stained face looked at Wang Wei coldly.

His expression seemed to say, "I knew you'd renege on your promise."

A sense of absurdity rose in Wang Wei's heart—wasn't he here to deal with the cataclysmic disaster?

Why do I feel like I owe the other party something now?

"Ahem." Wang Wei coughed lightly, and his eyes lit up when he saw Yu Huang.

"This is Emperor Yu! Following the ancient Tang dynasty came the Yu dynasty; it would be more appropriate for you to collect your debts from Emperor Yu."

A voice resounded from within the sea of ​​blood: "Yu possesses no aura of the ancient Tang Dynasty; they are not of the same race as you. You are the true descendant of the ancient Tang!"

"That's right, the debt should be settled with you!"

"You are a descendant of the ancient Tang Dynasty!"

Amidst the sea of ​​blood, sounds rose and fell.

Wang Wei said helplessly, "You've sensed it wrong. Yu and I come from the same small world."

"Take us there!"

A sea of ​​blood surged, and another group of figures emerged.

This group of people was clearly different from the previous ones—they were also blood-red, but their features were more rugged, like savages who hadn't fully evolved.

One of the burly men spoke in a deep voice: "Our race was once one of the myriad races of the starry sky. After being betrayed by the ancient Tang Dynasty, we have been clinging to life by relying on the Blood Sea."

Wang Wei's face darkened. Another debt collector!

"You've already located the coordinates of Yu Ruins," Wang Wei said softly. "That's also our little world."

Emperor Yu suddenly looked at Wang Wei.

He didn't expect Wang Wei to say it so easily.

"Go—go—go!"

The sea of ​​blood instantly boiled.

The entire dark red sea surface surged upwards from the bottom.

The endless sea of ​​blood detached from its original territory, transforming into a crimson torrent that surged toward the coordinates of Yu Ruins.

The scene resembled a blazing galaxy stretching across the sky—a dark red light spreading from the edge of the battlefield into the distance.

Every planet and every star field that the Blood Sea passed through was briefly stained red.

Within the territory of the eighteen empires, countless people looked up and saw that crimson color flowing overhead.

It occupied most of the sky, moving slowly and irresistibly, like the entire universe tilting.

"Go!" Emperor Yu glanced at Wang Wei and ordered the Yu army to follow.

The 32,000 Yu soldiers simultaneously closed their formation, transforming from a horizontal column into a long, vertical golden line. The entire array resembled a straightened longsword, its tip pointing towards the distant sea of ​​blood.

They passed through the area that had just been stained by the sea of ​​blood. The remaining dark red light briefly shone in the reflection of the golden trail before fading away.

Yu Jun's pursuit speed was slightly slower than Xue Hai's, but the distance between them remained stable, neither shortening nor widening.

"You!" Qi frowned deeply. "Aren't you going to stop them?"

Wang Wei said helplessly, "The entire Yu army couldn't stop them, how could I possibly stop them myself?"

Qi's expression turned grave: "You did this on purpose!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei looked at Qi and said softly, "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

Qi was taken aback: "What did you say?"

Wang Wei walked towards Qi and reached out to touch Qi's cheek.

Qi was about to resist when Wang Wei touched her.

She was startled, but maintained a forced composure. "What do you want to do?"

"I'm just a little curious," Wang Wei said.

"What?" Qi's gaze sharpened.

"You and I come from different worlds," Wang Wei said earnestly. "Do you think there's reproductive isolation between us?"

Qi stared at him intently with wide eyes.

"Hahaha..." Wang Wei smiled calmly, and his figure disappeared directly under the starry sky.

Within the territories of the eighteen empires, the sea of ​​blood continues to advance.

Dark red orbs of light filled the entire starry sky, stretching from the left to the right of the field of vision, from the orbits of nearby planets to the distant edge of the star map.

Yu Ruins. On the long white jade bridge, Wang Wei stood alone.

His gaze was fixed on the planet below—the small world he had lived in for over twenty years.

Ancient Tang, Yu, all races of the universe... If this planet is truly the ancient Tang world, then what about the ancient Tang itself?

Where did the mighty Tang Dynasty go?

According to the chaos, the ancient Tang dynasty has already taken control of the entire starry sky, so who can make the ancient Tang dynasty disappear?

Wang Wei gazed silently at the planet below, and at the six major cities on the surface.

It was nighttime, and the people in the six main cities had returned to their normal lives.

Jiangnan City, Shangjing City, Tianhai City... everywhere is filled with the warmth of everyday life.

People were still walking on the street, and warm yellow lights shone from the windows, accompanied by laughter and music.

But when Wang Wei looked down at all of this, he always had a strange feeling.

The fact that something is normal is itself abnormal.

His domain already covered the entire galaxy, and he could perceive every minute detail.

Wang Wei took a deep breath and compressed his domain layer by layer, enveloping the planet in the small world.

He observed the smallest details: every inch of soil, every drop of rain, the flow of air, the pulsation of the Earth's core beneath the surface.

Normal, everything is normal.

After Keqi sent the planet away, it returned on its own.

This proves that it is abnormal.

"He left... and then came back..." Wang Wei murmured.

He stood on the white jade bridge, just staring at it.

Time passed slowly, and the morning glow filled the sky.

A ray of light shone on Wang Wei, casting a long shadow on the white jade bridge that tilted slowly as the light moved.

Wang Wei turned his head to look at his shadow, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.

"Gu Tang, we've come to collect our debts!"

A voice echoed across the galaxy, and the starry sky above the planets turned blood red.

Chaos is coming!

Countless figures coalesced from the sea of ​​blood, like dark red meteors streaking down from the sky and landing on the ruins of Yu.

The entire Yuxu was instantly filled with dark red figures, which landed on the bridge, on the rooftops of buildings, and on the square, like a red carpet being laid out.

Emperor Yu and his army followed closely behind.

Qi was among them, but her expression was somewhat abnormal, and her gaze shifted rapidly between Wang Wei and Xingxing.

Wang Wei looked down and said softly, "This is my little world."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

An extremely ordinary planet floats directly below the Yu Ruins, its surface covered with continents, oceans, clouds, and lights.

Only a few million people live on this planet, spread across six cities.

Looking down from the height of Yuxu, the lights looked like tiny specks of light scattered on a table.

The man with blood-red markings on his face frowned, his dark red gaze sweeping across the planet's surface.

"Impossible—these people below don't possess any ancient Tang Dynasty aura. And this isn't the place where the ancient Tang Dynasty originated!"

Wang Wei smiled upon hearing this.

Without turning around, he continued, "Are you saying that in this small world, I'm the only one who is a descendant of the ancient Tang Dynasty?"

The man with blood-red markings on his face said, "That's right. Only you possess the aura of the ancient Tang Dynasty."

"Hmm." Wang Wei, with his back to everyone, nodded slightly. "Since that's the case—"

He said, "Then I'll give it a try."

Emperor Yu and Qi's eyes narrowed simultaneously.

Everyone looked at Wang Wei. What was he going to try?

Under the morning glow, Wang Wei stretched out his right hand, fingers spread, palm facing down.

He paused for a moment, as if to confirm that he really wanted to do it.

Then he gently squeezed it.

The hand didn't close quickly, but when his knuckles were halfway closed, cracks appeared on the entire surface of the planet at the same time.

Those cracks surged up from the depths of the earth's crust, traversing the streets and buildings of Jiangnan City, Shangjing City, and Tianhai City, like a net torn apart from the ground.

Large areas of the surface rock layer cracked, peeled off, and collapsed. Red-hot magma gushed out wildly from the cracks in the ground, staining the mountains and rivers red, swallowing streets and alleys, and overturning buildings. The once bustling and lively human world was instantly and completely covered by the raging flames.

The planet's outline suddenly distorted!

"boom--"

The ruins of Yu were deathly silent.

The planet below shattered before everyone's eyes.
