Have I persisted for so long only to meet my end?
At that moment, Chen Mo, who had been in a state of meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them.
"Heaven and Earth are positioned, mountains and lakes connect energy, thunder and wind intersect, water and fire counteract... I’ve finally calculated it. It’s actually four arrays arranged in reverse of the Five Elements. No wonder I couldn’t find the life gate!"
"To bear Heaven and carry Earth, Kun Yuan establishes the ground!"
He tossed the Xuanhuang Pearl toward the northeast, and the Glazed Treasure Pearl spun rapidly in the air, unleashing an endless stream of yellow sand that transformed into towering pillars, lifting the array plate upwards.
"Evil flames return to truth, Li Fire burns the void!"
The Mystic Fire Treasure Mirror hung in the north, and fierce flames surged from the mirror, as if wanting to scorch the air dry.
"Gui Water returns to its source, Kan Water traces the path!"
The Profound Ming Jade flew toward the south, transforming into raging waves, surging like a terrifying tide!
These three forces intertwined and continuously impacted the array plate, causing the brilliance of the engraved letters to abruptly extinguish, dissipating the immense pressure along with it.
"One of the array hubs of the four features was missing, which delayed things a bit, but ultimately it was unraveled." Chen Mo glanced at the Female Demon’s tragic appearance, his brows twitching slightly, and murmured, "Qingyi, you’ve worked hard."
"Not hard at all." The Female Demon replied earnestly, "I am the essence of Heaven and Earth, I can’t die, but if you die, I will have no friends."
Upon hearing these words, Chen Mo fell silent for a while.
Moments later, his lips moved slightly, "Actually, I’m not..."
"I know." The Female Demon interrupted, "There’s residue of his aura here, it seems his luck wasn’t great enough, and he couldn’t survive after all."
Chen Mo froze upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Since you knew, why did you still help me?"
"Because you really resemble him, and the Mystic Fire Treasure Mirror has also recognized you, indicating you’ve inherited his will..." The Female Demon blinked cautiously, "We’ve made a pinky promise, you’re not thinking of going back on it, are you?"
"..."
Chen Mo seemed to comprehend her thoughts.
Compared to her eternal lifespan, the lifespan of the Human Race is truly fleeting, like a spark that vanishes in an instant.
And the name "Sikong Che" is more of a symbol to her, a motivation resisting loneliness for thousands of years. If even this attachment no longer exists, how would she endure those empty times?
"Of course not, we’re lifelong friends." Chen Mo said solemnly.
The Female Demon then breathed a sigh of relief, her lips curving into an innocent smile, nodding forcefully, "Good friends, lifelong!"
Chen Mo considered using Vitality Essence to heal the Female Demon, but realized it wasn’t necessary at all. As the Spiritual Energy from the Earth Veins surged into her body, her shattered form healed in the span of breaths.
"If I’m not mistaken, the World Gate is hidden within this Sun and Moon Array Plate."
"If we delay further, there might be changes. It’s almost time to leave, but before departing, I certainly won’t let you off easily..."
Chen Mo gazed at the phantasmal shadow within the center of the array plate, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
