The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

"Make way, make way!"

Zhang Daoxu, with a forced smile, quickly squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the Chaoxi duo's side.

As he got closer, his expression turned serious again: "You two girls, why do you keep running off to dangerous places?!"

day by day?

Gu Yi's brows lifted slightly.

"This time is an exception."

Yan Xixi spread her hands, explaining somewhat helplessly, "We just came to the Hundred Refinement Pavilion to browse and see if there are any suitable treasures to buy..."

Who knew this would happen?

“Xixi is right.”

Xi Zhaozhao nodded and added, "This was an unexpected situation. We didn't expect that an unintentional outing would lead to something like this."

"But Senior Zhang, I remember..."

She asked in surprise, "Weren't you traveling around looking for 'ancient prescriptions' to solve this problem? How come you're here too?"

"Could it be that he stumbled upon it by accident?"

Xi Zhaozhao was happy to be with the burly Zhang Daoxu for no other reason than that Senior Brother Xiao was too busy, Senior Brother Gu was too silly, and Senior Brother Ye was too unpredictable.

Only Senior Zhang would patiently share with her some interesting experiences from her senior brother's life.

"No, the dragon race should have been extinct after the Dragon Lord fell into the Abyss. How could this human possess a dragon source...?"

The long-haired barbarian muttered to himself, a look of confusion in his eyes.

There was no time to mourn the fallen comrades.

Because the long-haired barbarian tribe discovered an even more terrifying truth!

As a powerful race that fled from ancient times to later generations, the Great Wilderness Clan, which has revived in modern times, knows some little-known secrets from before the great destruction of antiquity.

Almost every member of the Wilderness Clan is a refugee who survived the reckoning of "Heaven" before the destruction of the ancient times, and has lived from the distant past to the present.

In the missing memories of the Long-Haired Wilderness Clan, he clearly remembered that the Lord who commanded the Dragon Clan gathered the fortune of the entire clan and even all living beings, and slammed the Lord of Nothingness back into the Rift Abyss!

After the Dragon Lord died, the Dragon Clan's fortune withered away, and the surviving members of the clan were also tainted by "Void" because of the Dragon Lord.

Logically speaking, once the fortune of a race is exhausted, they are destined to slowly perish, because the exhaustion of fortune means that the race has come to an end.

This signifies that this race has been abandoned by this world.

In other words, there is no place for the dragon race in this world!

Not to mention, the dragon race has also been corrupted by the "illusion".

The Void Envoys are not invincible; they can also die. This was proven to all races by the Flame Emperor, who once proved his Dao through fire.

But the "emptiness" is indelible!

Even the Flame Emperor, who later ascended to the ranks of the Human Race's Celestial Venerables, fearless of cause and effect, and whose lifespan was equal to that of the heavens, leaving behind powerful Dao traces in this world, could not completely burn away the "Void"!

Even the Flame Emperor himself could not avoid being devoured by the "Void".

Only the name "Flame Lord" remains, to be passed down through the ages.

"Could it be that the Dragon Lord is still alive after falling into the Abyss?! The Dragon Clan's fortune has not declined, and like ours, it has been continued?"

This idea was rejected by the long-haired barbarian tribe as soon as it came to mind.

Whether the Dragon Lord is still alive or whether the Dragon Clan's fortune has been continued, as long as they are tainted by "Void", they will eventually be completely decomposed by the dark matter!

Even the Flame Emperor, who had transcended the realm of immortals, could not escape this calamity.

Without the protection of the Dragon Lord, how can the dragon race avoid danger?

However, if "emptiness" is unavoidable...

How did Longyuan come to be here?

It happened to a human!

It seems that the demon race has also become extinct...

I haven't run into a single one in all these years...

Many unsolved mysteries surfaced in the minds of the long-haired barbarian.

For a moment, my thoughts were like overgrown weeds, a chaotic mess.

The more the long-haired barbarian clan tried to understand all of this, the more terrifying it became.

Because he discovered that he knew absolutely nothing! Even things he had personally experienced were gradually being erased from his memory unconsciously!

I can't remember anything that happened in the past!

Fear is not scary; the unknown is the scariest thing!

What terrifies the long-haired barbarian tribe the most is...

Has the "sky" never truly left?

I've been waiting for them to show up...

"How can it be!"

Zhang Daoxu stared wide-eyed, his expression unusually serious, and solemnly said, "I came all the way from the Central Plains because I learned of the prophecy of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets!"

He Ying quietly pricked up her ears, not wanting to miss a single detail.

She vaguely remembered that Fellow Daoist Gu had told her that a meteor shower, a thousand years late and a symbol of calamity, would strike Hundred Refinement City one day in the future.

And this is the prophecy of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets!

"Wow! Fellow Daoist Gu wasn't lying after all!"

He Yingqing blurted it out involuntarily.

"what happened?"

Yuan Huanyan cast a glance at her.

"Senior sister, father!"

He Ying looked anxious and said urgently, "Something terrible has happened!"

He Chengxiang and Yuan Huanyan exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.

"Something terrible has happened" means...

Isn't the situation bad enough already?

"A shooting star! A shooting star is about to fall!"

He Ying made a big fuss like a fool: "Fellow Daoist Gu once said... no, it was the Heavenly Mystery Elder who predicted that a meteor shower would one day strike Hundred Refinement City!"

"Look!"

She pointed to the dense, scattered, and constantly flashing dots of light in the sky and cried out, "The stars in the sky are getting brighter and brighter!"

"The meteor shower is about to fall!"

He Chengxiang: ......

Yingzi, you're not a child anymore. That was just a lie Gu Xiaoyou made up on the spot, a trick to fool children. How could you take it seriously?

Also, those things in the sky are not stars!

Ignoring He Ying's sudden outburst, Xi Zhaozhao looked up at Zhang Daoxu, who was as tall and imposing as a small giant, and asked in confusion, "What's this about the prophecy?"

Zhang Daoxu, holding a golden alms bowl, solemnly declared, "A few days ago, the Heavenly Mystery Elder cast a divination before the Bright Mirror Pool of our sect. After interpretation by his disciples, it is predicted that an unprecedented calamity, capable of annihilating all living beings in the Five Regions, will befall the Northern Desert!"

"Indeed, I came here after hearing about this prophecy."

Xiao Qingyue nodded solemnly, then continued, "When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? Even the Hundred Refinement Pavilion could not withstand the disaster, so naturally we cannot remain unscathed!"

"In the face of imminent danger, we must unite as one and overcome these difficult times together!"

Zhang Daoxu added in a deep voice.

"Hmm, then... why did the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets need his disciples to interpret this divination instead of announcing it himself?"

"Wouldn't it be more convincing if the person himself came forward?"

Xi Zhaozhao voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

Having foretold such a momentous event concerning all living beings in the five regions, the Celestial Mystery Elder not only failed to personally oversee it, but also had the audacity to send his disciples to interpret it...

Isn't this just redundant?

Or did the Old Man of Heaven even predict the exact day the disaster would strike?

"because......"

Zhang Daoxu paused briefly, his expression more solemn than ever before, and said, "After predicting this disaster, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets died!"

Xi Zhaozhao looked up at the people from the five regions who were arriving one after another, but the unease hidden in her heart was not relieved by it.

On the contrary, it has expanded further, accompanied by some concerns.

"Xixi, what do you think?"

At this moment, Yan Xixi saw everything that was happening before her eyes, and surprisingly calmed down. She said seriously, "I smell a conspiracy!"

"how do I say this?"

Xi Zhaozhao pressed for an answer.

"What if it were truly a catastrophe capable of wiping out all living beings in the five regions..."

Yan Xixi stood with her hands behind her back, gazing into the distance as if she had seen through everything, and said calmly, "It's impossible that Senior Brother and Sister Qingxuan haven't made any moves."

"Unless, they've come here too!"

"Silently observing the situation here from a place where none of us can see."
