When Bai Chen saw the ceiling from the familiar bedroom that he had been seeing for thousands of years, Bai Chen was a little confused.
His thick and curled eyelashes flutter up and down like a fan. His clear and beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement.
Bai Chen sat up from the cloud bed suspiciously. Looking at the familiar bedroom where he has lived for thousands of years, for a moment, it was almost impossible to tell whether what was in front of him was a dream or reality.
He remembered that his soul was wounded, then the system took him to those thousands of small worlds, and then he met...
Mo Yuan!
Bai Chen opened his mouth, the familiar names came out of his mouth covered with intense lingering love.
He woke up startled. Did he return to the god realm?
What about Mo Yuan?
Where should he go to find him?
Bai Chen was at a loss for a moment, then got out of bed barefoot. His soles had yet to touch the ground before a multicolored cloud of mist floated over, wrapping Bai Chen's white feet tightly.
Bai Chen was shocked.
Looking down at the colorful clouds under his feet, he slowly squatted down. With a little hesitation, excitement, and apprehensive, his palm touched the colorful clouds.
The moment he touched it, Bai Chen's eyes suddenly lit up like the brightest star in the sky!
It's Mo Yuan's aura!
Mo Yuan, he was here!
[Little master, you are awake!] The system's excited voice interrupted Bai Chen's thoughts.
[Wu wu wu. Little master, you finally woke up. I am so happy.] The mass of red light, the system, flew from the outside. Its body was shaking with excitement, trembling as it rushed towards Bai Chen.
Bai Chen, like every time before, catches the system precisely in his arms and rubs it gently.
Although the system appearance is like a cluster of light, the touch felt like a soft furball. It was soft on his arms, it felt great. When Bai Chen used to be in a daze, he would always unconsciously hold the system like this and rub it.
Re-experience its little master's caress, the system was so excited that its body seemed to wave. Its red light body trembled incessantly. It shed tears of joy. A red light dot the size of a human tear fell from the system to the ground and then disappeared.
Bai Chen touched the system, soothing the system. After the system calmed down, he asked: "System, did you see Mo Yuan?"
The system suddenly stopped crying.
Bai Chen's expression is filled with confusion: "Since he has come, why didn't he wait for me to wake up?"
Without waiting for the system to answer, Bai Chen frowned again: "Is it because of the god palace's power?"
Since Bai Chen can remember, he has always lived in the god palace.
Bai Chen didn't know how the god palace came to be, but Bai Chen has an intimate feeling for the god palace. He loves this god palace.
And the god palace has always protected him.
The god palace is located at the top of the chaos. Apart from Bai Chen and the system, no other god can enter it.
Although Bai Chen is the supreme god, he doesn't care much about the gods' affair. The gods affair has always been managed by the system and a god emperor.
The god emperor is loyal to Bai Chen, and his divine energy has been suppressing the gods in the god realm. In this huge god realm, his power is only lower than Bai Chen and the system.
But he still couldn't go to the god palace.
One is that Bai Chen deeply rejects people other than the system from stepping into the god palace. The second is, with the god emperor level, it is impossible for him to enter the god palace.
There is a powerful divine force surrounding the god palace. With the god emperor's power, it is not possible to break it.
Bai Che suddenly became curious about Mo Yuan's identity.
The system is created by Mo Yuan, and Mo Yuan can also appear in the god palace, but why hasn't he heard any information about the powerful god Mo Yuan?
The system has grown up with him!
What is the relationship between him and Mo Yuan?
Bai Chen's heart was beating fast.
[Little master!] The system suddenly made a sound: [Master asked me to tell you, he is waiting for you in the next world.]
Bai Chen recalled his thoughts, his pupil suddenly constricted. He suddenly increased his strength, almost squeezing the system flat: "The next world?"
"Am I still in your space?" Bai Chen keenly captured this information.
The system is not clear so it replied: "Master is always here."
"I didn't fully recover?" Bai Chen asked again.
The system lowered its head guiltily: [Little master, it's my fault.] It was it who harmed its little master's state of mind, making him break down.
However, Bai Chen, who captured the key information, didn't care about the system's emotion this time.
He let go of the system. With eager steps, he stepped on the colorful clouds under his feet and staggered to a corner in the god palace.
In front of the system puzzled gazes, Bai Chen suddenly raised his palm, reaching through the god palace's walls.
Powerful divine energy poured into the god palace from his palm.
Bai Chen's lips trembled violently.
His eyes filled with disbelief.
How come?
How come?
The system saw that its little master's expression was obviously wrong, it can't help but worry. It quickly floated to Bai Chen's side: [Little master?]
His body trembled slightly, his eyes were covered with a thin layer of misty water.
He is sure!
Before a problem occurs in his soul, his relationship with Mo yuan must be very strong!
But why is there no Mo Yuan in his memories?
And, what makes his soul collapse?
Bai Chen's soul began to get restless again.
His head hurt badly.
Bai Chen couldn't help holding his head and groaned.
"Baby, don't think." A gentle and majestic familiar voice sounded from the depths of Bai Chen's soul. Immediately after, a golden light flashed across Bai Chen's body. Then, Bai Chen's painful soul just now suddenly calmed down.
Bai Chen controlled himself to obey that voice and not think about it further.
Though, he still wants to confirm a few things with the system.
"System, the god palace was built by Mo Yuan?"
In Bai Chen's memory, the existence of the god palace predates him. In the past, Bai Chen had never thought about how the god palace came to be. He subconsciously closed to the god palace in his heart because the god palace made him feel at ease, and familiar.
But just now, Bai Chen discovered that the god place that the system space temporarily transformed into was exactly the same as the god palace at the top of the chaos in the god realm. That's why he mistakenly thinks that he has returned to the god realm when he first woke up.
The system thought of Bai Chen's strange behavior just now, it know that it can't hide it.
[Yes, littler master.]
The system is afraid that Bai Chen will continue to ask and it might again involve Bai Chen's soul that has yet to recover fully, it hastily continued: [Little master, master said that whatever you want to know, he will tell you in the next world.]
[Master, he is waiting for you in the next world.]
"The next world?" Bai Chen murmured, then there was a bright light in his eyes: "Let's go."
—————
Zixiao sect is located high above the mountain, as if in heaven. It was surrounded by clouds and mist, like an immortal land.
The beautiful white cranes spread their wings and flew high, freely hovering and chirping in the sky above Zixiao sect.
With heavy legs, Bai Chen walked among the hundreds of children breathing heavily, following some young men, who were at the forefront, with difficulty on the mountain road.
"Wu wu wu. I'm so tired. I can't walk anymore." A seven or eight year old chubby boy suddenly fell down on the mountain path full of stones. Tears streamed down his face as his two chubby little hands covered his eyes. His chubby cheeks and delicate clothes on his body all tell that this little chubby has never suffered before.
And this time, this once pampered and spoiled little chubby kid has honestly walked the mountain road with them for nearly an hour.
The mountain road is difficult to walk. The ground is full of stones, if not careful, one might sprained their ankle. Then they went higher and higher. These hundreds of children have not dared to complain to those young men, who were leading the way, until this moment. Little fatty couldn't take it anymore and dropped on the ground crying.
"I don't want to go. I want to go home. I don't want to become an immortal." Little fatty's eyes were red from crying, very pitiful. He howled loudly: "I want to eat chestnut cake. I miss my parents."
"Wu wu wu."
The crying got louder and louder, there were also several other children's voices mixed in.
Bai Chen stopped with the army and took in a breath quietly to let his weak and tired little body regain its strength as soon as possible.
He glanced slightly at the hundreds of children around him. Probably because crying and sadness really is contagious, it wasn't long before little fatty cries made the other children in the group start to cry too. Some are timid so they dare not cry, only silently shed tears.
Very pitiful.
Bai Chen looked blankly at the three young people who were leading the way. Sure enough, two of them were already frowning.
"Trouble!"
Bai Chen saw one of them open his mouth in disgust. He opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by a stern young man who had been standing in the middle with a blank expression.
"If you're tired, let's rest for a while." The stern young man tried his best to use his gentlest tone to say, but entering these children's ears, it was still the icy cold voice before, which they subconsciously feared.
They shrank their necks.
The stern young man saw this and his body froze slightly, then he changed his tone as if nothing had happened, from the previous rid tenderness to seriousness: "But this journey must be done by yourselves. The road to becoming an immortal has difficulties everywhere. If you can't even suffer so much, how can you talk about cultivating and becoming immortal?"
One of the delicate little girls wiped away her tears, looked at the young man timidly and said: "Big brother, I want to go home."
Little fatty, who was the first to cry, also immediately echoed.
The youth's lips pursed tightly, seems a little angry and disappointed. He flicked his wrist, two large packages appeared in his palm. He handed the package to the two young men beside him: "I'll ask two junior brothers to help distribute food to these children."
The two young men were a little unhappy but under the stern youth's gaze, they took it obediently: "Yes, senior brother Li."
After everyone gets their food, senior brother Li looked at the little girl and the little fatty and said: "After you have gone with us, there's no way out. If you want to go home, you can only go down the mountain by yourself."
"There are many wild beasts in the mountains. With your size and strength, not to mention the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid that there won't even be any bones left."
The group of children's bodies trembled, their tears stopped in fear.
Senior brother Li added: "After you have eaten, if you still want to leave, go down the mountain by yourself."
.....
The silence in the mountain road is terrifying, there were only occasional sobbing that were held back in fear.
After the hundreds or so children had eaten, no one asked to leave again.
Senior brother Li nodded coldly with satisfaction. With the two young men beside him, they continued to pave the way for the group of children.
T/N: If I didn't know better, I'll say that they were kidnapping the kids. Poor kids. _(┐「ε:)_
