After listening to Long Qianqian’s account, Lu Chenxing couldn’t help but feel a little regretful, not expecting that her knowledge was also limited.
However, he also learned some new information from her: all humans were once in a Great World, which was divided into five major regions—East Desolation, West Desert, South Region, North Sea, and Central State—and the Dragon Slaughtering Clan was in the East Desolation.
At that time, there was no Zhu Tian Battlefield. The Human Realm was connected to several other affiliated worlds to facilitate mutual exchange, but sometimes other races would also enter the Human Realm through those affiliated worlds.
The dragons killed by the Dragon Slaughtering Clan were mostly of this type. After all, no matter how arrogant they were, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to rush into the Dragon Realm to kill dragons. However, the dragons were very dissatisfied with humans being the strongest race and always came to cause trouble.
The reason why humans are now scattered across various realms is because the Great World was shattered at that time, which led to the current Canglan World and numerous secret realms.
“So, the secret realms now filled with Alien are mostly former human territories?” Lu Chenxing asked, somewhat incredulously.
Long Qianqian nodded and said, “Yes, it should be. Perhaps other Little Worlds were also shattered, but judging by how the allied foreign races were united against a common enemy at the time, most of them being human territories should be correct.”
This left Lu Chenxing momentarily speechless. No wonder the damaged secret realm cores he had seen before came in strange and varied shapes, but most were broken swords, shattered knives, or four-pointed stars, with only a few resembling insects or broken horns.
Lu Chenxing took a deep breath, committing all this information to memory, then asked, “Then, Senior, what are your plans now?”
Hearing this, Long Qianqian smiled faintly, “No plans. My mission is complete, and my power is almost depleted. I should be dissipating soon… Hmm?”
As if sensing something, an expression of disbelief appeared on Long Qianqian’s face. This remnant of hers, which was already incredibly ethereal, had actually stopped dissipating and was even slowly solidifying!
“What… what’s going on?”
Lu Chenxing, however, smiled. Although his spiritual world wasn’t particularly large yet, it was truly the Prototype of a world, complete with various rules and energies, and with the subtle influence of the Source of Spirit, it had extraordinary benefits for soul entities!
Even though Long Qianqian was only a remnant now, if she could stay here properly, it was very possible for her to become a complete soul entity!
Of course, this soul entity would not be the original Long Qianqian, but a brand new soul entity with the name Long Qianqian and partial memories.
“Senior, if you don’t mind, please stay here and live well, recover your soul power. Perhaps later, you’ll even have the chance to see the current world,” Lu Chenxing said with a smile.
Long Qianqian’s red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but looking at the surrounding green mountains and rivers, the flying birds and walking beasts, this vibrant scene left her unable to refuse.
Any self-aware creature or object would not want to reach the point of demise; they simply cannot refuse, and thus have no choice but to accept.
Now that Lu Chenxing had given Long Qianqian a new choice, she almost didn’t hesitate at all, revealing a brilliant smile and nodding, “Thank you.”
At the same time, she deeply etched Lu Chenxing’s kindness into her heart, awaiting the day she could repay him.
“You’re welcome.” Lu Chenxing also smiled, because this way, if Xiao Zhi encountered any problems in her cultivation in the future, he could directly ask Long Qianqian. Although her memory was incomplete, she remembered things like cultivation and combat, which were almost instinctive, very clearly.
“Senior, which mountain do you like? I’ll build a house for you,” Lu Chenxing asked. In this world, he was the Creator God; everything was up to him, and building a house was effortless.
Long Qianqian looked around and finally pointed to a spot at the foot of Huaguo Mountain, right by the river. “That spot.”
“Alright,” Lu Chenxing agreed, then with a casual wave, an exquisite small wooden house appeared there, complete with various daily necessities and some vegetable seeds. Although a soul entity didn't need to eat, the necessary sense of ritual still had to be there.
Whether she used them or not was none of his business, but he definitely had to prepare them for her. After all, she would be Xiao Zhi’s teacher on her cultivation path in the future.
After settling Long Qianqian, Lu Chenxing withdrew his consciousness projection. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Yuntian and Long Qifeng standing beside him, as well as Yan Pingsha, who was worried about him, standing nearby.
The moment she saw him open his eyes, her previously worried expression finally relaxed, while Long Qifeng complained, “Little Lu, don’t do such risky things again! You almost gave me a heart attack!”
Bai Yuntian, however, didn’t say much, only smiling, “It’s good that you’re fine.”
He didn’t think Lu Chenxing would have any problems. After all, Time Mages were notoriously hard to kill; at most, they would lose some lifespan, and once they became stronger, that bit of lost lifespan wouldn’t matter.
“Sorry, I chatted with Senior Long Qianqian’s remnant for a bit and got delayed,” Lu Chenxing said somewhat apologetically, then looked at the giant cocoon, still red and white, in the sky and asked, “Is Xiao Zhi alright?!”
“She’s fine. The energy inside the cocoon is very stable; it seems to be nurturing something,” Bai Yuntian replied, then asked, “The Long Qianqian you mentioned, is she the same Long Qianqian that soul just spoke of?”
Lu Chenxing nodded, “Yes, she is, but it’s just a remnant she left behind. That spear shadow earlier was formed from the remnant…”
He then wanted to tell the two of them what Long Qianqian had told him earlier, but Bai Yuntian stopped him with a look, then shook his head slightly, and a voice entered Lu Chenxing’s mind, “This is not the place to talk. These matters cannot be known by others, including Old Long!”
This made Lu Chenxing slightly stunned, but he soon understood. This was to prevent more people from knowing about this, thereby causing panic and boosting the prestige of the Church of the Myriad Gods. For the sake of internal stability among humans, these matters indeed could not be known by others.
So he stopped talking and turned to the matters of the Dragon Slaughtering Clan, choosing what he could say about them and telling it to the two.
“No wonder, no wonder Xiao Zhi has foreign race characteristics! So that’s how it is!” Long Qifeng exclaimed in sudden realization after listening. Such a method, accumulating power through bloodline inheritance generation after generation, was almost unheard of!
Perhaps it was also because the Canglan World had developed independently for too many years, with almost no records of such things, and had formed rigid stereotypes about the definition and appearance of humans, which led to Xiao Zhi almost starving to death on the streets.
At this moment, Bai Yuntian asked, “Then, is the remnant of Senior Long Qianqian still here?”
Lu Chenxing nodded slightly, “She is, but she’s only a remnant after all. Her power has been overdrawn, and she can’t do anything.”
So Bai Yuntian nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
