Instead, she continued to stare at Lin Xun as if he were the only thing that existed in her eyes and heart.

It was as if the rest of the world and the food in front of her didn’t matter in the slightest.

Lin Xun was taken aback. "What is it?"

He stopped what he was doing and looked at Xia Zhi. A faint, unexplainable feeling rose in his heart as if something that surpassed all of his expectations was going to happen.

Xia Zhi shook her head and didn\'t say anything. She lowered her eyes, picked up a slice of meat, and placed it in her mouth.

Lin Xun noticed that Xia Zhi\'s eating speed was clearly increasing. Her movements were calm and steady yet her heart didn’t seem to be there as if she merely was eating for the sake of eating.

Lin Xun silently watched as he secretly wondered if something had happened in her last Obliteration Cycle that caused Xia Zhi to become a little off.

Xia Zhi had already cleaned up all of the food by this juncture. She lifted her perfect, picturesque face, stared at Lin Xun with her clear, star-like eyes, and said, \'\'I\'m going to leave for a while."

The voice was airy, clear, and gentle.

However, it sounded like a thunderclap in Lin Xun\'s ears. His heart trembled violently as his expression abruptly changed slightly. \'\'Leave?"

Xia Zhi nodded and said, \'\'The fifth Cycle of Obliteration will be different from previous ones. It requires me to be reborn through battle and to transcend in the darkness."

Lin Xun took a deep breath and asked, "Where will you go?"

Xia Zhi rose to her feet and looked at the sky.

At some unknown time, a curtain of eternal, night-like darkness had appeared in the sky. It was as thick as ink, blocked all light, and gave off an oppressive sensation.

In the distance, Toady and A\'lu were also alerted and looked over in unison.

The darkness seemed to seal off the sky like an iron curtain as if the darkness of the final days had arrived. It also contained a stiflingly silent power.

"There."

Xia Zhi\'s voice was almost muffled. Although her beautiful face was as tranquil as before, it now contained an unyielding determination.

Lin Xun’s expression turned somewhat grave as he gazed at the darkness in the sky. \'\'What kind of place is that? Can I come with you?"

Xia Zhi shook her head. \'\'It is a battlefield that belongs only to me. No one else can enter."

A stifling silence descended as a mysterious portal gradually emerged in the darkness. It seemed to hide in the darkness, refusing to be clearly visible.

"There is not much time left."

A spear silently appeared in Xia Zhi\'s hand. It was entirely pure white and was suffused with wisps of clear, dream-like light.

Meanwhile, an unrivaled killing aura spread from Xia Zhi, causing her clothes to flap. She gave off a sensation of being completely untouchable as she seemed to ride the wind into the sky.

Lin Xun\'s expression fluctuated indeterminately.

His earlier joy was gone. His heart felt desolate, and something seemed to be stuck in his chest.

This was the very first time since Feiyun Village that Xia Zhi had voluntarily said she wanted to leave!

Although Xia Zhi had once been taken away by the Dark Night Queen, Lin Xun knew that she would be in no danger with the Dark Night Queen taking care of her.

However...that was clearly not the case this time!

Xia Zhi was going to fight all alone...

For a time, Lin Xun\'s heart was in turmoil. He wanted to stop her yet he couldn\'t bring himself to because Xia Zhi had said that her fifth re-cultivation cycle required her to be reborn in battle.

This was her path, so how could he stop her?

Suddenly, Lin Xun felt a pair of arms wrap around his torso as a warm body plunged into his chest. He looked down and saw Xia Zhi.

He stiffened as her voice sounded in his ears, "Wait for me."

Her clear voice contained an authority that could not be refused.

Lin Xun subconsciously nodded.

Xia Zhi took a few steps back. She looked deeply at Lin Xun again before turning around and stepping into the air.

Her spear hung from her hand as her clothes fluttered lightly. As she took one step forward, a path made of darkness coalesced in the air, leading straight into the sky.

She didn’t turn back because it wasn’t their last goodbye.

She didn’t waver because it wasn’t a one-way trip.

Xia Zhi ascended toward the sky with steady steps. Her figure grew farther and farther away, becoming more and more indistinct as she was swiftly engulfed by the darkness of the eternal night.

Lin Xun stood on the lone island, watching her silhouette gradually disappear. He felt as if his heart was being entirely emptied away as he desperately struggled against the impulse to follow her!

Rumble!

His aura rumbled around him as the power of the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array began to circulate. Resplendent starlight rose into the air, transforming into an endless rain of light that rushed toward the heavens.

However, the sky was too high and far away. The forever darkness was too eternal and impossible to shake.

At this moment, Xia Zhi also arrived in front of the darkness portal at the end of the sky and paused.

A howl rippled through the clouds, "You must stay safe! I\'ll always be waiting for you—"

The corners of Xia Zhi\'s lips curled to form a knowing smile as her otherworldly beautiful face seemed to glow like never before. At that moment, even the eternal night seemed to become a little lighter and dimmer.

She stepped into the portal and disappeared.

The eternal night and darkness that had covered the sky like a curtain also vanished along with her as the clear sky and shining stars reappeared.

On the lonely island, Lin Xun was frozen on the spot as his clothes flapped loudly in the wind.

"Alas, love can be the most hurtful of all."

Toady’s sigh sounded more jarring than usual.

"Have you also been hurt before?"

A\'lu was puzzled. "There are actually people in this world who like toads? That’s f*cking disgusting."

"I’ll kill you, you peasant!" The furious Toady immediately engaged in verbal warfare with A’lu.

However, no matter how much of a fuss the two of them caused, Lin Xun seemed to not hear anything as he dazedly stood there with an empty expression.

This made both Toady and A\'lu worried. Could he be so trapped by love that he could no longer think straight?

Toady yammered, "Lin Xun, don’t dwell upon it too much. There\'s never a shortage of pretty maidens and fairies in the world. I’ll catch a few of them in the future to warm your bed and chase away your loneliness."

"Yeah, feel free to tell me which b*tch you like. I guarantee I’ll send her to your bed no matter who she is!" A\'lu also tried to console Lin Xun in his own unique way.

Lin Xun finally turned his head to glance at the two of them and said, "So noisy, what the hell do you guys know?"

Toady shrilly shouted, "Damnit, he doesn’t appreciate our good intentions at all."

A\'lu, on the other hand, suspiciously said, \'\'Could love have hurt him so much that he’s no longer interested in women?"

Toady froze. \'\'That will be troublesome if true. The great age is about to begin, so how can he allow himself to be so affected?"

A’lu earnestly said, "Hence, you’re the only one who can help him for now."

"Me?" Toady pointed at himself in astonishment.

A\'lu patted his shoulder and seriously said, "Yes, since you look so pretty, go and test if his tastes have changed to the other sex. That way, we can see how badly he has been hurt. Moreover, if he does swing the other way now, you will be a good match for him."

"You you...I\'m going to f*cking kill you!"

Toady flew into such a rage that his face turned green, and his neck bulged scarily. With a deafening roar, he charged at A’lu as if intent on murdering him.

Even Lin Xun was deeply revolted. If Toady hadn’t already charged at A’lu, Lin Xun would have thrashed the no-filter barbarian himself. However, the silly exchange also made Lin Xun feel much better.

In the end, Lin Xun decided that he would leave Star Chess Sea and return to the outside world!

Xia Zhi had her own path to walk while he also had to make preparations for the coming great age.

……

On the shore of Star Chess Sea, Toady yelled in excitement, "Great age, I, Jin Duyi, am coming! My name is destined to shake the heavens! "

He had been in seclusion for many years. Now that he was out, he couldn\'t wait to astonish the world and make a name for himself.

"This toad seems to love blowing his own trumpet." A\'lu displayed his contempt.

Lin Xun, on the other hand, could keenly sense that the aura of the world had changed!

Star Chess Sea was located at the Mysterious Ice Frost Plains. It was originally a cold and barren land where nothing lived except monster-beasts.

However, it had changed completely. Numerous plants grew from the snow, ice, and rocks while brightly colored flowers blossomed and swayed amidst the cold wind.

Even the air was no longer as bitingly cold as a blade. Instead, a dense warmness seemed to hang within it along with thick aeth qi!

Crack crack!

The ice beneath Lin Xun\'s feet split open inch by inch, revealing growing plants. As he watched, green leaves grew in the span of a few breaths along with a crystalline blue flower.

Lin Xun plucked the flower and scanned it with his senses, only to feel vibrant life energy rush at him.

This was only an ordinary flower. If aeth herbs or aeth grass were fed such life energy, they would most certainly undergo astonishing transformations!

Lin Xun murmured, "The great age is indeed coming..."

The land and everything within it was undergoing an astonishing change.

Moreover, this change was still ongoing!

Nearby, Toady cried out in surprise before an icy boulder, "Eh, someone inscribed some words here."

Lin Xun walked over and saw that words had been carved onto the surface of the icy boulder. They were left by Xiao Qinghe.

It was revealed that he had come to Star Chess Sea more than ten days ago but failed to meet Lin Xun because he was in secluded-cultivation. Hence, Xiao Qinghe could only leave a message behind.

He had come to invite Lin Xun to attend a gathering of the top young-generation members that would be held at Thousand Streams Mountain.

The gathering was initiated by the Moon Sun Sacred Palace’s Mi Hengzhen, a veteran supreme heaven pride who had risen to fame many years ago and possessed transcendent status in the Moon Sun Sacred Palace.

The goal of the gathering was simple. It was to give the younger generation’s top experts a platform to converse and interact before the coming great age.

Moreover, Xiao Qinghe strongly advised Lin Xun to attend unless he had other urgent matters to deal with.

Lin Xun immediately understood that the purpose of the gathering was more than a simple exchange.

"We’re not too late, it says the gathering will start in a month and it\'s only been a little over ten days since then."

Toady rubbed his palms together in anticipation.

He loved gatherings, especially those attended by the current era’s top experts.

"This toad looks like he can\'t wait to stand in the limelight."

A\'lu cast a sideways glance at Toady and exposed his intentions. "Of course, if we’re going to the gathering, I\'ll make sure to keep an eye on this toad and stop him from getting into trouble."

Lin Xun was barely able to resist rolling his eyes. It would already be a miracle if this cannon mouth didn’t cause any trouble and yet he still dared to claim he was worried about others causing trouble...

Annoyed, Lin Xun said, "Let’s go!"

With that, he plunged into the endless wind and snow.

Behind him, Star Chess Sea was peaceful and vast as it always was.
