Eternal Time and Space

Chapter 40 Take Care of Yourself

Kunlun was promoted.

The form of a Qilin rose from the earth, with a dragon's head, deer antlers, ox hooves, and a lion's tail. Its body was covered with five-colored scales: blue, red, yellow, white, and black, with the power of the five elements perfectly integrated within its body.

The Qilin stood on the clouds, and auspicious clouds arose beneath its four hooves. Within the auspicious clouds, countless phantom images of Qilin could be faintly seen galloping. The Qilin raised its head and let out a roar. All the auspicious energy between heaven and earth gathered at this moment, illuminating the sky with a five-colored glow.

The supervising soldier was promoted.

The white tiger rises from the west, its entire body silvery-white, as if formed from condensed moonlight. Its eyes are like two silver suns, and its teeth are like two inverted divine swords.

The white tiger raised its head and let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. Countless stars in the western sky lit up at the same time, and the starlight gathered into a silvery-white pillar of light, which poured into the white tiger's body.

The white tiger's fur became even more silvery-white in the starlight, each hair like a drawn sword, its sharpness soaring into the sky.

Zhiming was promoted.

The shape of Xuanwu emerged from the north, with a tortoise and snake coiled together. Its body was entirely black, and countless natural patterns were engraved on its shell.

The Black Tortoise lay prostrate on the earth, with the Black Serpent coiled around its shell. The serpent raised its head and let out a low hiss. Countless rays of water converged from the northern sky, transforming into a vast, dark ocean that lifted the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise swam slowly in the ocean, each sway of its tail creating towering waves.

Five divine beasts stand in the sky: the Azure Dragon in the east, the White Tiger in the west, the Phoenix in the south, the Black Tortoise in the north, and the Qilin in the center.

Five-colored divine light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire heavens in a dazzling array of colors.

The auras of the five Primordial Golden Immortals intertwined, like five towering divine mountains, pressing down on the hearts of every warrior in the Allied Forces of Myriad Races.

The Allied Forces of All Races looked up at the sky and gazed at the five divine beasts that filled the universe. They erupted in thunderous cheers. This was their king, the leader of all races, and the hero who led them to victory over the ferocious beast race.

Now that all five clan leaders have simultaneously advanced to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, the strength of all races has reached an unprecedented peak.

But above in the sky, the atmosphere among the five divine beasts subtly changed.

The auras of the five Primordial Golden Immortals occasionally collided in the void. When the Azure Dragon's mist met the Phoenix's flames, it was a thunderous roar; when the White Tiger's sharp aura met the Black Tortoise's mysterious water aura, it was a violent storm; when the Qilin's five-colored divine light intertwined with the auras of the four divine beasts, the void trembled slightly.

With no external enemies, the ferocious beast clan was wiped out, Shenni fled, and Jidu disappeared, the mountain that had been weighing down on all races was finally removed.

After the mountains were moved, the contradictions, suspicions, and ambitions among the five tribes, which had been suppressed by foreign enemies for countless years, suddenly sprang out like a spring being released.

Meng Zhang's enormous dragon eyes swept over Ling Guang, Kun Lun, Jian Bing, and Zhi Ming. A cold glint flashed deep within his dragon eyes. The moment he advanced to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, he also understood the way to go further. By accumulating immeasurable merit, he could advance to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and uphold the Dao on behalf of Heaven. That was a higher position than the Hunyuan Golden Immortal and the strongest under the Heavenly Dao.

And now, he's not the only one who has this qualification.

Ling Guang, Kunlun, Jianbing, and Zhiming have all advanced to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm. They have all come to understand the will of Heaven. They are no longer allies fighting side by side, but rivals vying for the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal status.

The five divine beasts exchanged a glance and simultaneously concealed their auras. The Azure Dragon shrank its dragon body, the Phoenix folded its wings, the Qilin concealed its five-colored divine light, the White Tiger withdrew its sharp aura, and the Black Tortoise sank into the Xuan Water. The five figures turned around and transformed back into human bodies, descending from the sky.

Dressed in a green robe with dragon horns peeking out from his hair, Meng Zhang led the way to Mo Yun and Hong Qing, a smile on his face, and laughed loudly: "This time, we owe a great debt to the two of you! If it weren't for your help, our Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Races would have been annihilated by Shen Ni long ago. I am deeply grateful and would like to invite you two to the Dragon Palace for a chat, so that I, Meng Zhang, can do my part as your host."

Ling Guang, Kun Lun, Jian Bing, and Zhi Ming stood behind Meng Zhang, each with a different expression.

Ling Guang frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his crimson phoenix eyes. Meng Zhang's words implied that he considered himself the leader of all races.

Kunlun's expression remained unchanged, but a flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes and disappeared in an instant.

The guard remained expressionless, simply watching Mo Yun and Hong Qing.

Zhiming closed his eyes to rest, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Mo Yun looked at Meng Zhang without saying a word, his gaze sweeping over Meng Zhang and then over Ling Guang and the other three, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

Hong Qing looked at Meng Zhang with a calm gaze and said, "The great calamity has just passed, and all races have suffered heavy casualties. The clan leaders should first rest and recuperate their tribes. I will not disturb you any longer."

Meng Zhang's smile froze slightly, then returned to normal: "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. It is precisely because the great calamity has just passed that all races need to celebrate. In this battle, how much did all races pay, how many sons died? Now that the ferocious beasts have been wiped out, we should have a three-day feast to comfort the souls of the dead and boost morale. Fellow Daoist is the greatest contributor to this battle, how can you be absent?"

Hong Qing shook his head and said nothing more. He simply nodded slightly to Meng Zhang, then turned and disappeared into the horizon.

Meng Zhang's smile turned completely cold.

Mo Yun looked in the direction where Hong Qing had disappeared, then glanced at Meng Zhang, and said, "You all, take care of yourselves."

After saying these four words, Mo Yun's figure transformed into a golden streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Meng Zhang stood rooted to the spot, his face ashen, staring in the direction where Mo Yun and Hong Qing had disappeared. After a moment of silence, he squeezed out three words through gritted teeth: "Ungrateful wretch."

Turning around, Meng Zhang's gaze swept over Ling Guang and the other three, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing more. With a flick of his green robe, he strode away.

Ling Guang watched Meng Zhang's departing figure, a deep worry flashing in his crimson phoenix eyes.

Kunlun stared in the direction Meng Zhang had left, remaining silent, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. The Qilin Clan resides in the Central Plains, protected by all sides. Meng Zhang wants to become the leader of all races. Has he asked the Qilin Clan beforehand?

The supervising soldier turned and left expressionlessly. The White Tiger Clan lived in the west, hundreds of millions of miles away from the east. No matter how ambitious Meng Zhang was, he couldn't reach the west for a while. As for the future? Who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

Zhi Ming opened his eyes, glanced in the direction where Meng Zhang had disappeared, then looked at Kunlun, and sighed softly. He had a premonition that the days when the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Races fought side by side would be gone forever from this day forward.

Ten thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.

Over the past ten thousand years, most of the malevolent and calamistic energy between heaven and earth has dissipated. The dark red blood color that once permeated the sky has faded, revealing the long-lost blue-green color. The malevolent energy surging on the earth has sunk deep into the ground and been suppressed and purified layer by layer by the earth.

The order of Heaven once again covered every corner of the primordial world. The sun and moon revolved, the seasons changed, all things grew and flourished, and everything regained the vibrant vitality it had at the beginning of time.
