I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

What was I thinking?!

Yan Ziming suddenly woke up, but her body was still difficult to move. She felt that her mind was all foggy and she could not concentrate on thinking.

The reason was that the oppression of heaven and earth was so strong that it was trying to obliterate her, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

Oh, right! I was shocked by the amount of radiation emitted by that "Purple Star"...

Yan Ziming moved his head with difficulty, shifting his gaze to find that the direction towards "Ziwei Star" had been blocked by a black barrier.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that this black barrier emits a faint purplish-black light, which instills fear in one's heart.

But for Yan Ziming, this thing was her only savior at this moment.

These are the scales that Si Mo previously branded on her right foot, now serving as Yan Zi Mo's 'sunshade,' shielding her from the direct impact of nuclear radiation. Furthermore, the purplish-black light spreads into the shape of an eggshell, protecting her from all 360 degrees.

However, the situation was still very bad for her, because the scale was riddled with holes, and the purplish-black light flickered, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Oh no, my teeth are white... Am I doomed?

Yan Ziming mustered his strength and carefully treated his body, only to find that it was in a terrible state, with his combat power severely suppressed.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she had absolutely no fighting ability at this moment.

She was now just like an ordinary person, powerless and helpless. In this situation, she was almost certainly going to die.

"Hehe... I was too overconfident..." Yan Ziming chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Her physical constitution, combat strength, and the opportunity to be 'reborn' multiple times combine to create her natural and enormous advantages.

I thought that with these conditions, although I wouldn't live a life of great success, I could at least establish myself on this land and wouldn't be in danger of losing my life.

The result was still unexpected. The world is full of wonders, and today she was going to be defeated by this mysterious "Ziwei Star".

"What exactly is this thing? It's not a mutated species at all, so what is it?"

All that had happened before wasn't her imagination; "Ziwei Star" had indeed been watching her. Was it really her identity as Lei Ling that attracted her?

Now Yan Ziming can finally understand why Lao Wang compared himself to the "Purple Star" when he first saw it.

Calm down and reflect, Yan Ziming realized that the other party seemed to have some connection with him.

This doesn't mean they had any prior connection, but rather that their entanglement dates back to a very, very distant past...

It's gotten so far that it's impossible to cut it off or untangle it.

But there is only one thing that Yan Zimo can be sure of at present—the "Purple Star" is something that was born in response to some kind of will.

Like itself, it possessed a pure aura, but it had been polluted, causing that pure aura to be almost completely tainted.

This is probably why Lao Wang thinks it's 'somewhat like' him, rather than 'completely the same'.

Even now, the "Purple Star" is still releasing nuclear radiation that makes Yan Zimo's heart tremble. The concentration is so great that it is like a raging sea and howling wind, forming tangible lightning that blows in all directions.

Yan Ziming even doubted whether human nuclear technology could actually produce such a concentration of nuclear radiation, as it was completely unreasonable!

If it weren't for the scales protecting him, Yan Zimo would probably be dead by now.

However, Yan Ziming discovered something—this lightning could be used to contact her.

It is a true creation belonging to the realm of lightning, which is one of the reasons why Yan Zimo is certain that it has a great connection with him.

"Really... what terrible things have I done!"

That being said, it's a fact that Yan Ziming can't hold on any longer. Once he loses the protection of that layer of scales, everything will be over...

Finally, amidst Yan Ziming's despairing expression, the scales that had been acting as his 'protective umbrella' shattered with a crash.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The death storm she had imagined would not come; instead, she felt much lighter, and the suffocating feeling that had been pressing down on every part of her body disappeared instantly.

Yan Ziming tried to move and found that he could sit up very easily. Moreover, he could also mobilize his combat power, which was at its peak!

With her combat abilities restored, it meant her chances of survival were much higher, and Yan Ziming regained hope for the future.

However, she wasn't blinded by elation. Knowing she was still in danger, she began to observe her surroundings.

"This is... a road?"

Yan Ziming looked around in surprise and found that the nuclear radiation that made her feel cold had all been 'pushed' aside, forming an unobstructed road.

However, this road leads in the direction of "Ziwei Star".

Looking back, there was no way out. Where I was now was the starting point. There was no way back; I could only move forward.

"Tsk! I'd like to see what tricks you're up to!"

Yan Ziming clicked her tongue in annoyance. Since staying here was a death sentence anyway, she might as well give it a shot. It was too early for her to give up.

—As long as a person still yearns for light, no matter how unbearable their past may be, they are never truly dead.

These are the words I once said to my younger sister, and as her older sister, I should put them into practice.

61. Unhindered and unstoppable

In the endless dark void, a dark torrent fell from the sky, tearing through the darkness ahead and passing through into that realm.

Darkness enveloped the earth, robbing all light of its glory; wherever it passed, everything was swallowed up, even light itself.

It was not merely an existence containing elements of "fear" and "oppression," but also presented a godlike "greatness" and "oppression," emanating a low growl that could inspire awe in all holy spirits and evoke the deepest chill in one's heart.

Whew whiff whiff whiff...

Amidst flying sand and swirling stones, the black calamity no longer chose to move by traversing space, but instead traversed the land of Tibet with an invincible presence, seemingly with a sense of intimidation. The storm, carrying immense pressure, spread in all directions.

And so this magical scene appeared.

—A black sun traversed Tibet, bringing darkness and silence. No living being dared to look up and face it directly. Before it passed, they fled thousands of miles away, like subjects bowing their heads to their king.

In an instant, all the powerful beings in Tibet looked up, traversing countless distances, and focused their gaze on the supreme being who had graced this land.

This time, he is there in person, not just with a wisp of his aura as before.

Is this almost invincible super entity going to return to Tibet Province?

They chose to observe for the time being and did not move. After all, that guy was not easy to mess with. If he got angry, it would be enough to cause bloodshed for miles.

When the black calamity had traveled more than halfway through the entire Tibet Province, it withdrew its sky-covering body and transformed into a chaotic human figure less than 1.5 meters tall, yet it still exuded an unparalleled aura.

"Hoo hoo... I haven't been back since I left last time, and it seems there are some new guys I've never seen before~~"

Si Mo paused briefly, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings, clicking her tongue in amazement. This place was teeming with powerful beings.

She originally lived in the Himalayas, but after many events, she moved to the Beian Military Administrative Region.

Upon returning today, I discovered that the giant steel bird I had previously spotted in the Himalayas was also there.

"It's really a wonder that Yan Ziming has been able to act so arrogantly here for half a year. Even if he were a ninth-level cultivator, if he acted half as arrogantly as her, he'd probably be dead..."

"So, where is she?"

More than a year later, she returned because the lewd... pattern she had forcibly branded onto Yan Ziming's body had lost contact with her.

This is quite serious. I gave her the scales not only because of her own wicked sense of humor, but also because I wanted to protect her.

Can Yan Ziming now be considered my daughter-in-law? No, she should be called my daughter-in-law? Oh, that's too much trouble, I'll just call her my wife (?)!

In short, she is now considered his wife, and she carries his great aspirations, so there can be no mistakes on her behalf.

Si Mo is currently unable to locate Yan Zi Mo, since she only arrived after sensing that the connection had been severed.

Tibet has more than two million square kilometers of land. If we search blindly, Yan Ziming might really die.

"While SSS-level fighters could do it, Yan Ziming could easily escape. Eliminating them leaves only a few..."

Si Mo's eyes flickered slightly as she turned her attention to a few 'old friends' who were entrenched in this area.

Judging from the faint glint of death in her eyes, if any of them were to harm her daughter-in-law (?), an epic battle would almost certainly break out!

There aren't many ranks in the world, just a handful, and today it's very likely that another one will be removed from the list...

It concerned Yan Ziming, but she didn't call Liu Mengxian because she was extremely arrogant and believed she could solve everything herself without Liu Mengxian's help.

Even though this opponent is someone of the same level as me, this is still the case.

It's actually quite normal. With her strength at that level, what in the world is there to fear? As long as Hun Tian doesn't appear, no one can truly threaten her.

"Let's go check out that big bird first."

Si Mo made up her mind, tore through space, and traveled through the endless void at the fastest speed in the world towards the Himalayas.

Ten minutes later.

boom--

The Himalayas seemed to have experienced a massive volcanic eruption, shaking the landscape. Day turned into night, the mountains and earth trembled, and the wind and clouds shifted. Gale-force winds swept the snow to the farthest reaches, as if two supreme beings had defied the laws of that place. Birds and beasts scattered, not daring to cross the line.

The gazes of all powerful beings focused on that spot once again, their eyes darting around.

After all, it was a clash between two of the major powers in Tibet, so it's normal that it would attract their attention, as it involved too many things.

Unexpectedly, the two supreme beings did not fight. The strange phenomena in the heavens and earth quickly dissipated, returning to silence, as if what had just happened was an illusion.

Only a few truly powerful beings knew that what had just happened was merely a probing contest between two supreme beings.

"Tch, you're lucky it wasn't you. Who told you to take over my original residence? You have to pay some price."
