Chapter 62: Driving the Ghost Ship Unimpeded, Through Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood

The next instant, Mengchen and the others woke up simultaneously...

Vajra Pestle murmured: "This Paper Boat comes from the future; that woman must be a lone, valiant fighter from the future, and she released the Paper Boat to call for help..."

"Calling for help from the future..."

After saying this, Vajra Pestle circled around Mengchen, seemingly observing him closely, and murmured: "Could it be that the deduction he and Jiuyou Ao made that day was wrong, and this youth before me is not the one who can end the chaos of the ages?"

"No... that's not right. I once heard that day that his past life cannot be traced, yet he can manifest the chaos of the ages; he exists eternally, only manifesting in this present life. What exactly does this sentence mean?"

"What does this mean, what on earth does this mean..."

Vajra Pestle hummed and vibrated for a moment, continuously making hazy sounds; Mengchen and the others could not make out any accurate information.

"Gangzi, what is wrong with you?"

Seeing Vajra Pestle acting strangely, Mengchen spoke up to ask.

Off to the side, Heizi and the Tianhu girl watched with surprised expressions, at a loss, constantly looking at each other.

The more Vajra Pestle pondered, the harder it was to remain calm, "Could it be that in the future, there is an even greater terror..."

"No... I must deduce it myself! To catch a glimpse of the future..."

With that said! Vajra Pestle's entire body radiated divine light, incomparably intense, making it impossible for Mengchen, Heizi, and the Tianhu girl to open their eyes.

In an instant, Vajra Pestle traversed the river of time to catch a glimpse of a corner of the future: he saw that the vast lands were all mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The appearance of those corpses made his memory fresh; they were all those dark creatures! With another glance, he saw Mengchen gestating within six divine lotuses, and a hero holding the Supreme Sword Embryo—a hero he felt he had vaguely seen somewhere before, though he could not quite recall.

He saw the two of them treading over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, killing their way deep into the darkness; wherever they conquered, light would appear, with smoke rising from chimneys, peaceful and calm.

In the final scene, the two climbed into the high Heaven Domain, bidding farewell to this realm, and the image vanished there.

The deduction ended, Vajra Pestle's divine light gradually faded, and he murmured:

"The result of the deduction is the same; he truly joined forces with a supreme hero to end the chaos of the ages. Why is there still someone calling for help in the future..."

"Could it be that after they left this realm, the darkness was born anew... or perhaps it was never truly ended."

The more Vajra Pestle thought, the less he could understand, but from the deduction, he finally saw a glimmer of hope; no matter what the future held, at the very least, this life would not be completely obliterated.

If this life is not extinguished, then a sliver of hope remains; where there is hope, there is a solution.

Perhaps the affairs of the future will change due to the opportunities of the future, not the present! "So be it! Future matters, we shall see in the future."

"This life finally has a sliver of hope."

Gradually, Vajra Pestle seemed to be somewhat relieved.

"Gangzi, what is wrong with you? Gangzi..."

Mengchen's calling had not stopped for a moment; Vajra Pestle, who had been trapped in his own consciousness, had been completely unable to hear.

Now hearing Mengchen's urgent inquiry, Vajra Pestle calmed down from his humming vibration and said faintly: "I am fine."

"Let's go! You wanted to go to the Kunpeng Divine Nest, didn't you? Let us set off now!"

Although Vajra Pestle had been in a silent state, he had been aware of the outside world at all times; he was very clear about everything Mengchen had experienced.

"Okay!" Mengchen replied with a smile.

He knew that Vajra Pestle must have had things he had not made clear; since he did not say them, there must be a reason, and he would not ask.

In this short time, Vajra Pestle had saved him from the brink of death twice; Mengchen's heart was filled with deep respect and gratitude toward Vajra Pestle. Now that they were deep in the boundless sea, they had no choice but to travel by riding the Paper Boat.

Under Gangzi's powerful methods, the Paper Boat returned to its previous appearance, as large as a small hill, and still dilapidated.

Aside from the absence of the eerie black light, the large boat was exactly the same as before.

Gangzi steered the large boat forward, encountering no sea creatures blocking the way along the journey.

However, what Mengchen and the others found strange was that those creatures would turn and flee upon seeing the large boat, not daring to linger for even a moment, while simultaneously shouting: "The Ghost Ship is coming!"

From the mouths of those creatures, Mengchen finally learned that this large boat was called a Ghost Ship by the creatures of the sea.

Combined with the scene he had witnessed when he first stepped onto this large boat, it was indeed true; this ship possessed great terror, and if not for the existence of Gangzi, they would likely have already perished.

Just like that, they steered the Ghost Ship, moving forward continuously; the journey was smooth and unimpeded, with no creatures daring to approach.

Not long after, they encountered other Ghost Ships several times.

They chose to leap onto them proactively; mysterious black light still attacked, but it was all dispersed by Gangzi. After the ship bodies shrank, they all turned into Paper Boats, all inscribed with the words: "Only I am left."

Afterward, they headed in one direction.

All creatures were extremely wary of the Ghost Ship and did not dare to approach, quickly avoiding it; the journey could be described as smooth sailing.

Until they had pushed forward for several days, they steered the Ghost Ship past a stretch of sea surface floating with corpses; the seawater was completely dyed red by blood, which was exceptionally terrifying.

After traveling for another half a day, they finally caught sight of it.

Deep in the sea area ahead, there was a massive Kuya, even more magnificent than the Taigu Shenshan, exposed above the sea surface. On the cliff wall sat an ancient avian nest, primitive and unadorned, without Runes or divine light, yet wisps of chaos energy cascaded down; the sight was exceptionally horrifying!

"One of the Taigu Ten Fiends—the Kunpeng Yichao, we have arrived." Mengchen gazed at the ancient nest and exclaimed in wonder.

The sea surface was red, with numerous corpses floating; one could see how cruel the slaughter had been.

Gradually, large groups of fighting creatures appeared ahead, the sounds of slaughter shaking the heavens.

"Qingtian Python, you dare to kill my children and grandchildren? I will fight you to the death!"

A roar echoed from afar; a magma giant ape as large as a mountain rushed into the high sky and smashed down in anger. Instantly, a large amount of magma poured from its fists, the terrifying high temperature boiling the seawater.

On the other side, a fire phoenix flapped its wings and rose into the sky, its whole body flickering with endless divine flames. In an instant, a giant dragon several kilometers long emerged from the water with its blood-red maw wide open.

The dragon lunged upward, bit the fire phoenix in one gulp, and dragged it into the deep sea. Immediately, the sea surface hissed, and scalding blood floated to the surface; it was exceptionally bloody.

In another direction, a lightning dog covered in silver electric arcs moved as fast as lightning; it charged into a school of black sharks.

Silver light flashed, and as its sharp claws flew, black sharks were torn to pieces one by one... rolling blood flowed, merging with the seawater, and a thick, bloody stench permeated the air for a time.

This was a massacre!

Heizi and the Tianhu girl were left with lingering fear, their expressions extremely unnatural.

Although Mengchen was moved, compared to that dark memory of his, this was still considered mild.

Along the way, despite the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they did not stop, steering the Ghost Ship and crushing their way through.

"Not good, it's coming again!" The many living beings began to shout when they saw the Ghost Ship sailing toward them.

The living beings, whose killing intent had been at its peak, abandoned the battle and fled in all directions...
