Chapter 1066: Unanswered Mysteries

[But why haven’t I disappeared?

[Am I an oversight?]

The Star Dancer looked up at the blue figure outside the battleship with a confused expression.

She soon realized that she was wrong.

She was also slowly dying as the vitality gradually drained from her body.

The Star Dancer’s heart was filled with shock and horror. She didn’t even know just what power was draining her vitality! It was as if she should not be alive, and death was her natural state of being.

Just one word from that God-like creature had wiped away all of the living beings on the battleship.

In the face of the crushing despair from witnessing the deaths of her entire crew, the Star Dancer suddenly calmed down and began to carefully assess the situation.

She hadn’t disappeared, but she was dying in another way!

If there was something that set her apart from the other crew members of the battleship, it was probably the fact that she was the only one among them to have mastered the power of the divine dao.

Did that mean that mastering the power of the divine dao and merging the power of dao with one’s body would allow them to keep that terrifying being’s attack at bay to a certain extent? Even though it was only an alternative way of dying…

The Star Dancer immediately came to a decision.

The existence above the mushroom cloud was something she most definitely could not stand up against.

The only thing she could do was to conceal her presence before finding a chance to return to the West Sea. She had to transport the Starfire Battleship back to the West Sea at the very least!

The hope was very slim, but it was the only thing she could do.

The Star Dancer, who was even able to stand up to Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures, suddenly felt at that moment what it was like to be a powerless ant.

“This battleship can fall as well.”

A voice that seemed to be far away but also sounded like it came directly from within her consciousness suddenly erupted.

The Star Dancer didn’t even have a chance to react before a peerlessly sharp blue blade projection suddenly fell from the sky and almost sliced the gargantuan battleship in half!

A thunderous boom reverberated through the entire ocean.

The battleship seemed to be wailing in anguish as it fractured, but it couldn’t do anything to resist as it plummeted to the seabed continent…

The Star Dancer’s expression was full of despair. The battleship’s propulsion system had been sliced apart with extreme precision and accuracy.

How could there be a power like this? How could there be an existence like this?!

What is this thing?!

Boom!

The Starfire Battleship crashed into the seabed continent, sending sand and dirty rocket into the ocean for hundreds of thousands of feet.

The Star Dancer’s entire body was trembling, but she couldn’t do anything.

The blue figure slowly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

It had only uttered two sentences to relegate the Starfire Battleship to the bottom of the ocean forever.

The Star Dancer suddenly came to a realization that the only thing she was able to do was to await her death…

Her life force was still constantly receding, and her power of the divine dao was also becoming weaker and weaker.

At this rate, she probably wouldn’t even last a single day.

She had envisioned many dangerous situations that could befall the battleship, but she had never envisioned something like this.

So be it. I’ll record everything on my sailing journal…

At least there would be a chance that a successor of the Spirit Fish Clan would stumble upon the journal and learn about everything that had happened here. Even though it was scarcely believable.

Prior to her death, the Star Dancer activated the Starfire Battleship’s spatial positioning signal to the very max before sealing away what remained of her power to a piece of Hong Meng Divine Wood.

After doing all of this, she closed the journal and sat silently on her bed, thinking back on her life, awaiting her inevitable death…

That was the final entry in the journal.

An Lin and Lan Xiaoni both fell into silence.

“Big Boss An Lin… What do you think that blue figure that killed the Star Dancer was?” Lan Xiaoni broke the silence first.

“Hmm… Probably a mighty figure on the level of Nuwa, the Daoist Trinity, Pangu, and other Gods of Creation,” An Lin replied with furrowed brows.

Lan Xiaoni shook her head in a rare display of conflicting opinions. “I don’t think so… I’ve seen Nuwa, and I’ve also seen Cyril fight. Even mighty figures above Dao Integration Stage are not necessarily able to decide the fate of the entire Starfire Battleship crew through words alone. Big Boss An Lin, don’t forget that at the height of its powers, the Starfire Battleship possessed power comparable to a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure… That blue God-like creature was at least equivalent to Big Boss An Lin at the Dao Integration Stage!”

An Lin’s expression darkened upon hearing this. “Please stop. I’m going to suffer divine retribution if you keep boasting about me like this!”

“Also, when did I become a unit of measurement for power?” An Lin added with a resigned expression.

Lan Xiaoni stuck out her cute little tongue as a cheeky smile appeared on her face. “Doesn’t that make the story more relatable to Big Boss An Lin?”

“No, it doesn’t! It just makes it weird!” An Lin retorted.

He thought for a moment before suddenly heaving a long sigh. “The more I know, the less safe I feel. To think that a being as powerful as the Star Dancer would just perish under such inconceivable circumstances…”

“What if I encounter a God like this, and it’s jealous of how handsome I am and tell me that I should disappear from this world?”

Lan Xiaoni: “…”

It was not unreasonable to be concerned, but was this what he should be concerned about?

Lan Xiaoni was still hesitating whether she should just come clean and tell An Lin what she thought about his looks when an expression of shock and horror suddenly appeared on An Lin’s face. “Crap!”

Lan Xiaoni turned to him with a confused expression. “What’s wrong?”

“The journal states that the Starfire Battleship crashed to the bottom of a seabed content in another world. We’ve also discovered the Starfire Battleship on an unfamiliar seabed continent. Could it be that this place…” An Lin speculated with a tense expression.

“This…” Lan Xiaoni’s eyes widened.

A terrifying thought welled up in both their hearts at once.

An Lin and Lan Xiaoni each drew a sharp intake of breath.

The place where the Starfire Battleship had fallen, the home of the Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial, the place where that mysterious God-like being had appeared…

An Lin was just making a joke about how unsafe he would feel if he was to encounter a similar God-like creature, and now his wish had been granted. The place they were located at right now was very likely to be the place where that mysterious God-like being dwelled.

“Are we screwed?”

Lan Xiaoni trembled with fear like a frightened little lamb.

An Lin took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Don’t panic! If you analyze the situation carefully, there are a lot of unanswered mysteries, and this seabed continent may not necessarily be the same place as the one described in the journal.

“Think about it. The place we have ended up in is referred to by Tian Chenji as the Heavenly Turtle Seabed Hell. This clearly has something to do with the Heavenly Turtle Tribe, so how could this be an alternate world?

“Furthermore, even if this alternate world has become the trial world within the High Priest and the High Priestess’ tomb, that would mean they’ve already conquered this world! The mysterious being is very likely no longer here, and this place has been transformed into the trial grounds of the tomb!”

An Lin was starting to even believe his own analysis.

Lan Xiaoni then offered a lethal piece of conjecture.

“Then… then what if Tian Chenji and Xi Haizi hadn’t actually discovered the Star Dancer’s sailing journal.”

An Lin fell silent.

That’s right… One had to realize that the Star Dancer was not an independent life form and did not have a complete memory. She might well have been used as a BOSS by the High Priest and High Priestess, who didn’t know anything about her history!

The wooden carving would appear only after the Star Dancer’s residual power disappeared.

In other words, the High Priest and High Priestess didn’t know about the wooden carving, they didn’t know about the golden key, they had never been to the Star Dancer’s boudoir, and they had never seen the sailing journal…

It was very possible… that they knew absolutely nothing about this world!!!

They could be using this as just a normal mystic realm world!

“Wait, this is the place where the Starfire Battleship has fallen. The two High Priests can’t be oblivious enough to just regard this as a normal world.” An Lin suddenly came to another realization.

Lan Xiaoni: “I’m remembering something now. The place where the Fallen God Seabed Tomb was erected was the place that the Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial had appeared. That’s definitely not a coincidence.

“There is a very big chance that we have entered an alternate world through the tomb.”

An Lin’s brows furrowed. “If this is the alternate world where the Ancient Heavenly Fiendcelestial had come from, didn’t it state on the journal that opening up the passageway between the two worlds was next to impossible? How could we have been teleported here by Tian Chenji?”

“Unless… unless another mighty figure is helping them from this world.” Cold sweat was beginning to roll down Lan Xiaoni’s forehead.

A peculiar silence ensued.

It was really bizarre that the High Priest and the High Priestess were able to open up the passageway between the two worlds so easily…

After a series of analyses, a thought began to well up in the hearts of both An Lin and Lan Xiaoni.

Could it be… that there was some unspoken deal between the High Priest, the High Priestess, and that mysterious God-like being?!
