CHAPTER 992: CHAPTER 766: FLYING FAR AWAY (PART 4)

"True devouring, annihilated all the Spirit Realm creatures... solved the crisis once and for all..."

He lowered his head, looking at the Earth beneath his feet, the confusion in his eyes slightly dissipated.

He gazed at the mountains, at the rivers, at the Sun and moon...

"What I did is better than you."

Gu Jinlai listened, yet throughout the entire process, he did not dare to move.

Afraid that any of his actions might provoke this Divine Calamity, causing it to devour the entire Longevity World in a breath, transforming hundreds of billions of lives into Spiritual Power to strengthen itself.

Though he remained motionless, he was secretly observing this Divine Calamity.

He always felt that this Divine Calamity...

was very strange.

Especially the way it regarded the Earth, the Sky Dome, the "gaze" around, also seemed strange.

But exactly what was strange, he could not say.

"Yes, better."

This Divine Calamity continued muttering to itself.

Perhaps for its stature, this was more like a murmur of self-realization.

After a long while...

"I... am free."

The "confusion" in the eyes of this Divine Calamity gradually faded away.

The gaze also gradually withdrew from this peaceful and safe mountains, rivers, Sun and moon.

Then...

slowly landed on Gu Jinlai in front of it.

Their "four eyes" met.

Time, space, at this moment, seemed to freeze.

Three seconds, four seconds...

It might have been only two seconds.

No words exchanged, no conversation.

This immense Divine Calamity, which had always brought a different kind of prosperity to the Longevity World, spawning a brilliant cultivation civilization, yet pressed down on everyone’s hearts like a shadow of death, just moved its body, flying towards the outside of the Longevity World.

Gone.

Its body spanning dozens of miles stretched entirely, blocking the Sun, traversing through the sky, flying far away.

Just like that, it disappeared into the Heavenly Track, delving into the Star River, without a trace.

This scene left Gu Jinlai standing still in place, gazing at its disappearing silhouette, unable to speak for a long time.

A Divine Calamity born of the Evil God, yet different from the Evil God, would ultimately transform into an Evil God.

This kind of being with the same essence as the Evil God, even if possessing its own intelligence and thought, logically should not spare a world filled with numerous lives and spiritual essence, to refine it.

But yet...

This incomprehensible event occurred right before his eyes.

"This Divine Calamity... this Divine Calamity..."

Gu Jinlai repeated the words.

Because he utterly did not know how to describe this situation.

Everything before him exceeded his understanding.

"What on earth is..."

Gu Jinlai pondered endlessly.

He recalled when that Divine Calamity’s gaze met his own, the kind of humane...

Well, a Divine Calamity is in itself a kind of independent living entity, possessing such a "gaze" is not strange.

What he contemplated was the kind of...

familiarity that came from that "gaze".

"Yes, familiarity."

Gu Jinlai exclaimed heavily: "But it’s not my familiarity with this Divine Calamity, rather... this Divine Calamity’s familiarity with me."

His mind was filled with an inconceivable thought.

This Divine Calamity...

knew him.

At least, it knew of him.

"Who are you?"

Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.

For a long time, he suddenly took a virtual step, risking possibly provoking that Divine Calamity, and crossed into the atmosphere, arriving at the outer perimeter of the Longevity World.

Only...

That Divine Calamity had already vanished into the endless Star River, far away, with no trace to be found.

It departed without any hesitation, nor left any words.

It seemed, it did not need anyone to remember it.

Or perhaps, no one would remember it again.

Gu Jinlai’s expression was very complex.

"It knew me, this, is a Divine Calamity without malice towards the Longevity World."

Gu Jinlai thought of the "protection" terminology it seemed to have mentioned.

This result made his emotions surge for a while.

A Divine Calamity without malice towards the Longevity World.

If not awakened, with its protection of the Longevity World...

Very quickly, Gu Jinlai already cast this thought aside.

A Divine Calamity cannot possibly remain here forever.

"It was never meant to belong to this world."

Gu Jinlai said.

He once again gazed at the starry sky, looking in the direction where that Divine Calamity disappeared, recalling the changes it brought to the entire Longevity World over these years, bit by bit...

Perhaps...

For the Longevity World, for him, and even for that Divine Calamity, this was the best outcome.
