Chapter 39

Subsequently, only a breeze blew past the spot, and his figure had already disappeared.

Inside the domain!

Although it was a domain placed in a cliff, the interior was exceptionally spacious.

Floating islands floated in the sky, and churning clouds replaced the land, connecting into complex paths.

Glancing at the familiar Grotto-Heaven world, Hearing Luo Li knew that no one had broken into it for thousands of years.

Every flower and every blade of grass was exactly the same as it was in the beginning.

In addition to the barriers and spells that acted as obstacles from the outside, a large number of mechanisms and elemental guards made of immortal arts were placed inside the domain.

Reaching out, Hearing Luo Li stepped onto a floating stone that drifted over and flew toward the floating island at the very top of the Grotto-Heaven.

Not until he stepped onto the ground of the floating island did the entire island come into view.

Unlike most people's impression, a domain with such tight defenses should usually guard heavy treasures.

But what appeared before Hearing Luo Li was only a simple wooden courtyard, no more than ten zhang in length and width, surrounded by clusters of flowers, and the ancient trees growing around the courtyard had just sprouted new buds.

"In such a simple place lies the most honorable person in the world."

Hearing Luo Li whispered, walking across the ground full of mechanisms, without causing any change during the process.

When he stepped into the courtyard, a transparent crystal coffin emitting white light appeared in front of his vision, inside which lay a beautiful and elegant woman.

Dust Archon Guizhong.

"Long time no see."

Placing the wild Glaze Lilies he had picked along the way on the top of the coffin, and gazing at the Archon girl inside who had not changed at all, Hearing Luo Li greeted her as if greeting an old friend.

Guizhong, with her eyes closed, looked like a sleeping beauty, her hands tucked into her wide sleeves resting on her lower abdomen, her face as rosy as usual, not at all like a dead person who had lost her vital signs.

Beside her was a complex and cumbersome stone lock, but that lock had long since been unlocked.

The legendary Dust Lock, which contained all the wisdom of the Dust Archon, was opened by Hearing Luo Li one day, and inside were only the words the girl had recorded about all the feelings she had hidden.

Unfortunately, in the end, she never said those words out loud herself.

Watching the girl who was now only a shell, Hearing Luo Li did not feel sad.

"It's a pity that the Tenseiga is useless to you."

Once, when he drew the "Tenseiga," he had tried to resurrect Guizhong.

Regrettably, he didn't know if it was because of her Archon status or some other problem.

Even holding the Tenseiga, he couldn't see the messengers of the underworld beside Guizhong.

But as long as he kept signing in, Hearing Luo Li would always find a way to resurrect Guizhong.

At worst, when he became strong enough, he could go directly to the Imaginary Tree, enter the Sea of Quanta, and he would eventually get his wish.

Since the seed could sprout five hundred years ago, the withered ancient tree could also be reborn a thousand years later.

By then, he would just slowly tell her the stories of these thousands of years.

But by then, the usually noisy Guizhong would probably be so overjoyed that she wouldn't let him speak.

"Before that, lest I forget the experiences of these days, I'd better tell you once first."

A tiny breeze carried away his words, and Hearing Luo Li sat down near the tree roots and began to narrate slowly.

The corners of the lying girl's mouth curled up slightly, as if she were happy for his arrival.

PS: Please vote with flowers! Please vote for evaluation!

Because I'm still writing about five hundred years ago, many side stories and backgrounds are only mentioned a little in the game. I've searched for a lot of materials and tried my best to perfect the plot without leaving any omissions. It's a bit tiring to write, and I hope you all like it.

It would be even better if you could vote with more data!
