All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

The sorrow in the palace had not yet dissipated, and Yingfu was about to speak and reveal all the remaining secrets when a violent tremor suddenly erupted from the foundation of the palace.

"BOOM—!!!"

The deafening roar shook the pink jade palace violently, the crystal chandelier above trembled wildly, countless fragments fell in a flurry, and the pink flowers around it had their roots broken and scattered all over the ground. The sacred atmosphere in the air instantly became chaotic.

Everyone instinctively stood up, steadying themselves, their expressions instantly turning serious. The previous complex emotions were dispelled by the sudden change, leaving only vigilance and unease.

Yingfu's expression changed drastically. Her gentle brows tightened instantly, and the sadness in her eyes was replaced by extreme panic. She looked up sharply at the palace dome, and the pink light at her fingertips unconsciously surged, trying to stabilize the order of the palace.

"not good!"

Sakura shouted, her voice trembling slightly and filled with despair, "The torrent has breached the outer defenses of the world barrier ahead of schedule and has begun its assault on the main barrier!"

Before the words were finished, an even stronger tremor came. Cracks instantly appeared on the palace walls, pink jade shattered, space began to distort, and an even more terrifying destructive pressure surged in through the cracks in the palace, making everyone feel cold and their souls tremble slightly.

Yuki stood up from her seat almost simultaneously. Her previously calm eyes instantly ignited with urgency. She didn't look at Sakura or Sabella and the others. The white primal power around her surged again. Her tone was cold and urgent, with a hint of impatience, but hiding an imperceptible urgency.

"If you want to leave, then get out of here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Ji stopped and suddenly raised her hand, gathering a dense white primal power in her palm. She then fiercely tore open the space in front of her, instantly creating a dark spatial rift that caused the chaotic spatial airflow to surge wildly.

Without the slightest hesitation, she turned and leaped into the spatial rift. Her figure flashed and disappeared, and the spatial rift immediately closed, leaving only a trace of the original aura and her sense of responsibility hidden beneath her indifference.

The group looked at the direction where Xue Ji had disappeared, exchanging bewildered glances, their doubts resurfacing – Xue Ji had clearly wanted to keep them here, yet now she was urging them to leave, indicating that the threat of the torrent was more urgent than they had imagined.

Sakura slowly withdrew her gaze, her face full of guilt. She turned to look at Sabella and the others, the pink light at her fingertips gradually dimming. Her tone was heavy and self-reproachful: "I know that Yukihime's actions were indeed inappropriate. She forcibly imprisoned you before, and even resorted to violence, but I did not stop her."

She paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, along with a hint of hope: "Actually, I also have a glimmer of hope. If she really succeeds and really keeps you here, perhaps our world can truly be saved."

Sakura bowed her head slightly, her posture sincere, looking at everyone with a face full of guilt. There was no arrogance of a goddess, only apology to everyone and concern for the fate of the world.

Yue Gui and Karen exchanged a glance, seeing tacit understanding and determination in each other's eyes. They didn't speak, but turned to look at Sabella and Luo, their eyes filled with questioning, but also with approval.

In fact, at this moment, the answer is already self-evident.

They were once heroes. Although Yue Gui now considers himself a demon king, he may have been chosen by the will of the world and be able to bear the destiny of all heavens. How could he really ignore a world that is about to be destroyed and those innocent lives?

Luo looked at everyone's gazes, then glanced at Sabella beside her. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, a hint of resentment towards the world—a world that had brought her endless harm, imprisoned her, tormented her, and separated her from her daughter for so long.

But more than anything, she was worried about her daughter, and a little wavered—Sabella was a creation of this world, and this was Sabella's hometown. She couldn't let her daughter lose her home, and she couldn't let her daughter bear the responsibility of saving the world alone.

Sabella seemed to sense her mother's thoughts. She gently took Luo's hand, the warmth of her fingertips passing over her. Her tone was gentle yet firm, her gaze fixed on Luo: "Mother, I know you may still hate this world because it has hurt you and made you suffer a lot."

"But I am not only your daughter, but also a creation of this world. This land, this world, is also my hometown." Sabella's eyes were full of determination. "I am not a hero, but I am a member of the hero's party. I cannot stand by and watch my hometown be swallowed up by the flood."

After speaking, Sabella released Luo's hand, slowly turned her head, and looked at Karen and Yuegui. Her posture was upright, her eyes were sincere, and she made a pure request: "I know I have no right to ask you, after all, you have already given so much to this world, but I want to ask you two former heroes as friends if you can help me save this world that is about to be destroyed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sabella lowered her head slightly, her posture sincere. She was not confident, after all, Yue Gui was now the Demon King, and although Karen was a hero, she might not be willing to take on the responsibility of saving the world again.

Looking at her daughter, Luo's resentment gradually faded, replaced by relief and determination. She gently patted Sabella's shoulder, reassuring her that she would stay by her daughter's side no matter what.

Lancelot stood aside, his eyes resolute. Although he was not protected by luck, he had long regarded this world and Sabella and her daughter as things he wanted to protect. But at this moment, he could only remain silent, because he knew that his strength was insufficient to support him to go beyond the world's barrier.

Just as Sabella was feeling uneasy, Yue Gui suddenly laughed. His laughter was hearty and domineering, carrying the arrogance of a demon king, yet hiding a trace of tenderness: "Hahaha, I am the demon king, I am never bound by anyone, I only do what I want to do."

He slightly raised his hand, and a wisp of black demonic power emanated from his fingertips. With a gentle tap in the air, a black contract pattern instantly formed and floated in front of Sabella. The contract exuded a rich magical power and aura of fortune, complementing each other.

"Since you're already praying to the Demon King, then the contract is in effect." Yue Gui's eyes hardened, his tone domineering. "I'm determined to save this world!"

The black contract slowly fell into Sabella's hand and merged into her body. A faint magical bond quietly formed between Sabella and Yuegui. It was the Demon King's promise and their mutual agreement.

A flicker of ecstatic joy flashed in Sabella's eyes. She looked up at Yue Gui and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Yue Gui!"

Karen couldn't help but laugh as she watched this scene unfold. Her voice was cheerful, carrying the determination and nonchalance of a hero: "You said it yourself, I am a hero, and protecting the world is my duty. Besides, we are partners, so your business is our business."

A simple sentence, yet carrying an unwavering strength, instantly dispelled the unease in everyone's hearts and made Sabella even more determined to save the world.

Yingfu stood aside, watching the interaction between the three. Her tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and the worry in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief and hope. She nodded gently and said solemnly, "Thank you, thank you for being willing to lend a helping hand. You are the hope of this world."

At this moment, the palace trembled more and more violently, the cracks in the walls grew larger and larger, the pink jade continued to shatter, and the speed of spatial distortion increased. Clearly, the impact of the world barrier was becoming more and more intense, and they had no time to waste.

Sakura suppressed her emotions, her gaze instantly turning serious. She looked at Lancelot and Law, her tone solemn and tinged with concern: "Let's go. We'll head to the World Barrier now. Lancelot, you and Law stay in the God Realm."

Lancelot and Law exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with understanding, not doubt. Law nodded gently, his tone calm: "I understand. Without the protection of external fortune, going to the world's barrier would only be a burden to you."

"That's right." Yingfu nodded, her tone tinged with guilt but also with unwavering determination. "You have no external fortune to protect you, and Luo, ever since you passed the Earth's seed to Sabella, the fortune of all the heavens within you has completely dissipated. Without the protection of fortune, you are simply unable to withstand the destructive pressure of the torrent. Staying in the God Realm is the safest option."

She paused, then continued, "I have already ordered the lifting of the warrants for your arrest. All the guards in the divine realm will no longer make things difficult for you. You can wait in peace in the divine realm. We will definitely defeat the flood as soon as possible and return to join you."

Lancelot nodded, his gaze falling on Sabella. His tone was solemn, carrying a hint of admonition: "Sabella, take care of yourself and protect everyone. I will be in the realm of the gods, guarding this place, and waiting for your return."

"Don't worry, Lancelot." Sabella nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "We will definitely be back."

Luo also held Sabella's hand, his eyes full of concern, but he didn't give her any further instructions. He simply said softly, "Be careful, your mother is waiting for you to come back."

"Yes." Sabella nodded vigorously, keeping her mother's concern in her heart. This was her motivation to move forward and the belief she had to uphold.

Without further delay, Yingfu suddenly raised her hand, and a dense pink light gathered in her palm. She waved her hand fiercely at the space in front of her, and a huge pink portal instantly formed. Inside the portal, a soft yet firm light shone, and at the other end, a dense destructive pressure could be vaguely felt.

Let's go!

Sakura gave a low shout and took the lead in walking towards the portal, her pink figure gradually enveloped by the portal's light.

Sabella, Karen, and Yue Gui followed closely behind, stepping into the portal one by one. The divine spear possessed by Wei Yu hovered beside Sabella and entered the portal together. Before leaving, Sabella turned back one last time and glanced at Luo and Lancelot, her eyes filled with determination.

Lo and Lancelot stood there, watching the portal slowly close, their faces filled with worry and anticipation. They could only wait in the realm of the gods, praying that everyone could successfully repel the flood and return safely.

As the light from the portal faded, Sabella and her two companions instantly appeared outside the world barrier. An overwhelming pressure of destruction enveloped them, causing them to stiffen and making it extremely difficult for them to breathe.

There is no sky, no earth, only an endless turbulent flow of time and space. In the pitch-black void, countless chaotic air currents surge wildly, emitting a piercing howl, like the wailing of countless wronged souls, which is terrifying.

In the void, fragments of the world occasionally flash by. These fragments vary in size, some like dust, others like mountain peaks, covered with cracks and retaining a faint trace of the world's aura, but have long since lost their vitality. They drift aimlessly in the turbulent flow of spacetime, and could be torn apart at any moment.

On some of these fragments of worlds, one can still see the remnants of buildings and the skeletons of living beings. Clearly, those worlds were swallowed up by the flood, leaving only these fragments to prove that they once existed. The desolation and barrenness are chilling.

Sabella forcibly steadied herself, and the power of authority within her body and the fortune of all things subconsciously surged, forming a barrier to resist the impact and destructive pressure of the spatial turbulence. She looked up, her eyes filled with shock and solemnity.

Not far from them, Xue Ji was suspended in the void, her white primordial power surging to its limit, forming a huge white light shield that enveloped her, struggling against the continuous suction force of the torrent.

Yukihime's face was as pale as paper, her forehead was covered in sweat, her primal energy was being rapidly depleted, and her breathing was becoming disordered. Clearly, resisting the suction force of the torrent had exhausted most of her strength.

Her body was covered with pitch-black spatial rifts, which continued to expand, allowing chaotic spatial currents to surge in wildly, and terrifying void storms to rage around her, whipping up countless fragments of the world and hurling them at her.

While resisting the suction of the torrent, Yuki also had to deal with the attacks of the void storm and spatial rifts. Her body swayed constantly, and she was almost pulled over by the suction of the torrent several times, but she still did not give up. She held on to the world barrier and did her best to block the impact of the torrent.

Sabella looked in the direction of Yuki's resistance, her heart clenched, and the shock in her eyes reached its peak—at the far end of the void, there was a yellow storm that stretched as far as the eye could see, like a giant wave, surging wildly and rapidly approaching the world barrier.

The yellow storm was incredibly violent, without a fixed shape, churning wildly. Wherever it passed, the void was completely annihilated, and countless fragments of worlds were swept into it, instantly torn into dust without leaving a trace. Its world-destroying momentum made one's soul tremble.

The storm's rotation accelerated, and within the yellow airflow were countless tiny black specks of light. These specks were the devoured origins of the world, emanating a dense aura of destruction, further intensifying the terror of the torrent.

Even more terrifying was that above the yellow storm, streaks of lightning would occasionally flash, tearing through the void. These lightning bolts were not the usual white or purple, but a strange blackish-red, as if they were interwoven with blood and ink, exuding a chilling, destructive primal law.

Each bolt of black and red lightning left a huge crack in the void, which could not be healed for a long time. The chaotic spatial air currents surged wildly, and even the spacetime turbulence was temporarily calmed by the power of the lightning.

A bolt of black and red lightning flashed, instantly striking a massive fragment of the world. The fragment was the size of a continent, but it shattered instantly upon impact, turning into countless specks of dust that were swallowed by the yellow storm, without even a chance to resist.

Even though they were still incredibly far from the yellow storm, the tremor and pressure emanating from the depths of their souls still washed over them like a tidal wave, chilling them to the bone and causing their internal strength to stagnate slightly.

Sabella's divine spear trembled involuntarily, and Wei Yu's consciousness also became extremely heavy, conveying a trace of fear: "Too terrifying... Is this the power of the torrent? Just the pressure alone makes my soul tremble." (He was only saying this to himself.)

Karen gripped the Hero's Sword tightly, her divine power surging unconsciously around her. Cold sweat covered her forehead, her face was pale, and her voice was strained: "This kind of power... is simply beyond our ability to resist. Even with your authority, Sabella, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to withstand it."

The demonic power around Yue Gui surged wildly, forming a black barrier to resist the pressure of the torrent. His expression also became solemn, and the arrogance in his eyes was gone, replaced by extreme vigilance: "As expected of a torrent that can devour countless worlds, this source of destruction is more terrifying than any power I have ever seen."

Yingfu stood beside the three, her pink light surging, forming a huge pink barrier that enveloped them all, resisting the pressure of the torrent and the impact of the spatial turbulence. Her face was pale, and her tone was heavy: "This is the terror of the torrent. It can not only devour the world, but also annihilate all power. Any living being that gets close to it will be completely torn apart, and even its soul will not be able to survive."

She paused, then continued, "Xue Ji has been resisting here for a long time, and her source power has been greatly depleted. If we don't help her soon, she will be pulled over by the suction of the torrent. At that time, the world barrier will be unblocked, and the torrent will completely flood into our world. It will be too late then."

Sabella took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and fear in her heart. The power of authority, the power of the goddess, and the fortune of all heavens within her surged simultaneously. The Earth Seed also vibrated, releasing a rich life force that perfectly merged with her power, and her aura rose once again.

She gripped the divine spear possessed by Wei Yu, her eyes hardening with unwavering resolve as she looked at Karen and Yue Gui, her voice solemn: "We cannot back down. No matter how terrifying the torrent may be, we must fight with all our might to defend the world's walls and protect this world."

Karen nodded, the fear in her eyes replaced by determination. The divine power around her gathered once more, and the white light on the Warrior's Sword grew ever brighter. Her tone was solemn: "That's right, we are partners. Even if it takes all our strength, we will repel the torrent!"

Yue Gui nodded slowly, the demonic power around him growing stronger, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Since I signed the contract, I will not go back on my word. Today, even if I am the Demon King, I will fight against the torrent to the very end!"

Seeing the three's resolute expressions, Sakura's eyes filled with relief. She nodded gently, and the pink light around her surged once more. Her tone was solemn: "Alright! Let's join forces to support Yukihime, defend the world's barrier, and resist the onslaught of the flood!"

At this moment, Yukihime's aura grew weaker and weaker, and cracks appeared in the white light shield, which could collapse at any moment. She was being pulled tightly by the suction force of the torrent, and her figure kept getting closer and closer to the yellow storm. However, the determination on her face did not diminish at all. She was still doing her best to hold on to the last line of defense.

The yellow storm drew ever closer, the black and red lightning grew more frequent, the destructive pressure became increasingly terrifying, the spatial turbulence intensified, and countless fragments of the world were swept into the torrent and instantly annihilated. The entire void was shrouded in an aura of despair.
