I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

”How long has it been?”

”This time Ah Zhan has been away for far too long.”

”My eyelids keep twitching; could it be that Ah Zhan has encountered something unexpected?”

Within Julu Pass, at Han Zhan’s residence.

Under the heavy pressure of looming conspiracy, the Contracted Spirit girls murmured anxiously.

At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Gongyang Jin was the first to stand up, opening the door with hopeful eyes.

Upon seeing the person standing outside, a look of disappointment flashed through her eyes.

”Second Senior Brother?”

”Where is Han Zhan? Based on prior time patterns, he should have come out; why is there no news, and where is the next Land of the End?”

Lin Jingxuan asked directly.

”I don’t know, he hasn’t returned yet.”

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Jingxuan furrowed his brow.

”So it is indeed.”

Today Lin Jingxuan had been uneasy all day, in the realm of Divination, there is a saying about a sudden urge.

Especially for those whose Cultivation Realm is higher, such impulses in Divination usually prove true.

This unusual apprehension made Lin Jingxuan very attentive.

Thus he concluded to come to Han Zhan’s residence to have a look.

And indeed...

Thinking of this, Lin Jingxuan turned his hand, and the Original Dao Soldiers transformed into three copper coins, appearing in his hand.

”No worries, let me do some divination.”

”Fortunes and misfortunes, a single divination reveals all.”

Lin Jingxuan’s words made the Contracted Spirit girls’ eyes light up.

Yes, they almost forgot about this method.

With Second Senior Brother here, doing divinations on heavenly and earthly matters, everyone would be spared from worries here.

In the midst of speaking, Lin Jingxuan already tossed the three copper coins out.

In the next second.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three copper coins thrown out exploded simultaneously, turning into dust!

Lin Jingxuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the red droplets fell onto the ground as he stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

”What’s going on?!”

”The Original Dao Soldier exploded?”

”No, Original Dao Soldiers cannot be destroyed, but they have been severely damaged. This only proves one thing.”

Shang Siteng spoke with an extremely solemn expression, ”Second Senior Brother’s divination has far exceeded the scope of anything he could know.”

Simply put, the person or matter Lin Jingxuan was divining has completely surpassed his Realm.

Lin Jingxuan’s Realm is at Tier Nine Peak, and he has fused two types of authorities, only a step away from becoming a god.

If even he cannot divine the outcome of this matter...

Thinking of this, everyone’s face turned exceptionally grim.

”Is this time still a hexagram of certain death?”

Unable to resist, Gongyang Jin asked.

The pallid-faced Lin Jingxuan slightly shook his head.

”No, this is not a hexagram of certain death.”

”This is a portent of total destruction, the end of all things!”

”What about Ah Zhan? He won’t be in trouble, right?” asked Xia Youwei immediately after.

Lin Jingxuan continued shaking his head.

”I don’t know, the backlash has severely wounded me, I can’t clearly see the fate of the future, the road forward is pitch black.”

”I’ve already uploaded this information to the Celestial Net terminal, so that Bob is prepared for the worst-case scenario.”

...

That day, until 11:20 PM, Han Zhan still hadn’t appeared.

The weary Contracted Spirit girls, under the soothing lull of the Fu Xi Zither, could finally relax and sleep.

With the changes in the world, they appeared within Bob’s Endless Dream Realm.

”You’ve arrived.”

Seeing everyone, Bob nodded, greeting them with a grave expression.

”What should we do now?”

”Wait,” Bob replied in a deep voice.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Shang Jianyue and Lin Jingxuan both appeared separately within the Dream Realm.

They did not speak immediately but, like Bob, waited silently.

No one knows how long it passed.

Or perhaps just a few torturous seconds.

At this moment, a figure appeared within the Dream Realm.

Everyone jumped up excitedly, moving closer to it.

Because it was Han Zhan!

”Ah Zhan!”

”Han Zhan!”

Voices from everyone rose in unison.

But upon seeing Han Zhan’s current state, everyone’s face involuntarily showed worried expressions.

Han Zhan’s face was pale, even more severely than Lin Jingxuan who was heavily injured earlier today.

”What happened?” Shang Siteng asked with a heavy face.

”The World Tree imprisoned me,” Han Zhan spat out a breath, saying, ”Luckily, He didn’t discover the secret of the Dream Realm, I memorized the time of entering the Dream Realm today.”

”It’s just, the pain I feel is making it difficult for me to fall asleep, hence the delay.”

Han Zhan furrowed his brow, feeling little relief from successfully entering the Dream Realm.

”The World Tree? He has begun to take action?!”

”Yes, and no,” Han Zhan spoke weakly, ”Because the Fourth Bronze Conference was held, the final Land of the End has been confirmed.”

”The final Land of the End is... Blue Star.”

”The World Tree does not want me to interfere with the coming of the End, thus He imprisoned me; even though I fought back, I was no match for Him.”

The rank of the World Tree is definitely above that of a god.

His confrontation with Han Zhan never intended to kill him; otherwise, what they’d see now would not be Han Zhan but his corpse.

”You mean to say that the World Tree wants to force you to consume the bread of human blood belonging to Blue Star’s people.”

Han Zhan looked up at Shang Jianyue and grinned, ”Your description is precise, indeed so.”

Land of the End, Blue Star.

Upon hearing this news, everyone’s heart became incomparably heavy.

Especially the Contracted Spirit girls and Shang Jianyue, who had witnessed a planet heading toward its end, an image profound and tragic.

No one anticipated that Blue Star would become the next Land of the End.

”I think the most rational thing we should do is abandon most people and then leave Blue Star.”

Nonetheless, Little Dragon Man Bob put forth his ”coldest” suggestion.

Han Zhan unexpectedly shook his head.

”Impossible, leaving is not an option. Since it is the End, all indigenous inhabitants of this planet have shared a part in the causal fate; the World Tree’s purpose is for everyone except me to die on Blue Star!”

Even escaping is not permitted!

The message Han Zhan brought back left everyone in silence.

While Han Zhan’s safety need not be overly concerned for now, instead it’s about themselves... Now, with Blue Star being turned into a cage by the World Tree, waiting for the End to descend.

Are they just supposed to wait for death inside this cage?

No, that can’t be the case!

”We must leave, and we must leave now!” Han Zhan suddenly broke the silence, speaking sternly and decisively.

”Once the Land of the End officially opens, then it’s too late to flee!”

”During my confrontation with the World Tree, I caught sight of the numbers floating on the wooden gate; this countdown is twelve hours!”

Twelve hours.

Six hours have already passed, so only the last six hours remain.

This is Blue Star’s countdown to death!
