Chapter 629: Small Thousand World

"The Great Void has not been peaceful lately."

"True, true. I don't know which idiot dared to set up a Lighthouse in the Great Void, which is teeming with crises. But that idiot has some skills; the Lighthouse hasn't been extinguished yet."

"How about we go take a look?"

"Look at what? Don't you know that eating melons and watching the show is the safest thing to do? Those idiots have high skills and bold hearts, but can we do the same? You're a Sacred, don't embarrass yourself."

In a certain part of the Great Void, at a distance neither far nor near from Xianshi Tiandi, stands a Small Thousand World. It is only the size of a Solar System, and its space is not particularly stable.

In any case, it belongs to the type of cannon-fodder world that is casually obliterated by the aftermath of battles between powerful beings of the galaxy—the kind often described in accounts where, as two Supremes clash, the Great Dao trembles, Chaos Qi surges, and countless worlds are born and destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Yet, this Small Thousand World has stood in this part of the Great Void for countless ages; even some veteran Multiverses or Infinite Spaces might not be as ancient as it is.

And in this Small Thousand World, one knows not how many Swallowing Heaven Parties that lived by devouring worlds have fallen, nor how many Main God Spaces or Infinite Spaces that burned, killed, and looted across various worlds have been ruined.

These existences, which should have been able to destroy Multiverses, all capsized in the gutter within this Small Thousand World. Before dying, they all shed tears of regret, roaring in their hearts: how could such a tiny world produce Peak Divine level powerhouses?

And there are two of them!

And these two Peak Divine powerhouses, in the eyes of those existences, are currently like retired senior officials. Each holds a thermos cup with goji berries steeped inside, blowing on it and taking a sip from time to time, sitting in a pavilion in a city, sighing up at the sky together.

"But speaking of which, Xinghai, how long has it been since we left?"

"A long time, right? I can no longer remember how long. Ever since the Emperor Lord left and the Heavenly Court collapsed, we two have only fled here like stray dogs."

"What, Earth Mother, do you want to leave?"

Xinghai looked at Earth Mother and said calmly.

"I want to, yet I don't. It's just that I keep thinking, does the light of this Lighthouse, which has stood here forever and spread through the Void, serve as a signal? A reminder for us old folks who should have perished to move, to see what it is and what lies there."

"Perhaps, we might even see some old friends."

Earth Mother said with a complex expression and emotion.

Xinghai chuckled, "It seems I really am old. My determination as a man is actually not as good as yours, a woman."

"Xinghai, you've been a mortal for so long that you've become muddled, haven't you? At our level, why care about the difference between men and women? It's just that I feel you are drifting further and further away from the Xinghai Emperor Lord of the past."

Earth Mother said calmly.

"Don't use reverse psychology on me. Fine, let's go; I'm tired of staying here anyway. Besides, isn't it strange? We've stayed in this Small Thousand World through countless Reincarnations, yet the life in this current Reincarnation has developed very quickly. How long has it been, and they've already started exploring the Starry Sky? And you know, the Starry Sky of this Small Thousand World is just a texture map; I'm really too lazy to update the Starry Sky for these living beings."

"It's better to just leave."

Xinghai shook his head and smiled.

"Then you are being irresponsible."

Earth Mother gave her criticism without reservation.

"I'm just lazy. Let's go."

Xinghai shook his head, his figure disappearing from where he stood, having already left this Small Thousand World. Earth Mother was silent for a moment, then her figure also disappeared, likewise leaving this world.

All the living beings in this Small Thousand World, and even the ignorant World Consciousness, did not realize that the two powerful Sacreds who had protected this world for countless ages had left. The world continued to operate quietly, and the planet named Earth continued to rotate.

At this moment, the fighting over at the Present World Lighthouse was intense.

The taunt effect of the Lighthouse was truly too fierce, attracting many powerful Disasters and monsters, such as the Gospel Calamity series that Li Heng had encountered before.

And besides the True Gospel and Death Gospel that Li Heng encountered, two more Gospels had appeared. One was the Plague Gospel, seemingly the embodiment of all diseases, and the other was the Famine Gospel, seemingly the embodiment of all dissatisfaction. Furthermore, each was at the Peak Divine level, plus some other messy Disaster monsters...

Even the current Xianshi Tiandi could hardly hold them back!

If it weren't for the fact that the War Gospel had not broken its seal earlier because of Li Heng, the Four Gospels of the Apocalypse would likely have completed their bond by now, summoning the Great Terror and directly destroying the Present World.

The main force blocking these Disaster monsters was Tian Yao.

Xianshi Tiandi had undergone a major upgrade and was currently climbing at every moment, so Tian Yao was now also an extremely powerful Sacred. With the assistance of Xuantian and Xuanyang, they could barely hold them off.

"How is it? Have you contacted Li Heng?"

Tian Yao struggled to block a wave of impact from the Disasters and monsters and hurriedly asked Xuantian and Xuanyang beside her.

Xuantian and Xuanyang shook their heads.

"Shennü, although I don't want to say this, we really must be prepared—prepared for the fact that the Imperial Teacher might not make it back in time."

"No, he will definitely come back."

Tian Yao said firmly.

"But now, even the Transformation Body of the Imperial Teacher has gone silent. I fear the Imperial Teacher has encountered some troublesome matters."

Xuantian and Xuanyang said, not feeling optimistic.

No matter what reasons they used to explain or describe it, they felt they had always underestimated the power of the Present World Lighthouse.

Ever since Li Heng's true self left, the Lighthouse had begun to continuously attract Disasters and monsters to attack. At first, they could handle it, but one after another, they were becoming unable to cope, and now they were on the verge of collapse.

"Even so, we should believe in him."

Tian Yao shook her head.

Xuantian and Xuanyang were dumbfounded; they did not understand where this Shennü's confidence came from. But to be honest, they themselves also had this blind confidence.

It was not based on their own reason.

It was based on the impression that Li Heng was almost omnipotent.

"You have done well. Now, I am back."

Li Heng chuckled and appeared before the three of them.

"However, your development has disappointed me somewhat. How long has it been? How come only the three of you are at the Sacred level? Was my Heaven and Earth upgrade for nothing?"

He shook his head to express his dissatisfaction.

The three were overjoyed at the sight. Speak of Li Heng and Li Heng arrives!

He had finally returned.

They directly filtered out Li Heng's dissatisfied words. After all, Li Heng's high demands were not a one-day affair. What did he mean by "how long has it been"? It clearly hadn't been long, okay?

Did he really think Sacreds were Chinese cabbage?

"But since I'm back, leave it to me to handle. Some of these Disaster monsters are, in a way, my old friends."

Li Heng chuckled, turned his head to look at the Gospel Calamity before him, and spoke.
