Chapter 298 Time and Space Stand Still
Time goes back to an hour ago!
Just as countless soul clan attacks were about to fall, the black cat face tattoo on Gu Xun'er's wrist appeared out of thin air.
In just a moment, the entire space and time seemed to stand still.
Or on the other hand, it should have accelerated Gu Xun'er's time, making her moment infinitely prolonged.
It allowed her to jump out of time from this moment and enter another time branch.
"I, I am..."
Gu Xun'er opened her eyes in a daze, but she came back to her senses the next second.
She remembered that she was attacked by a man in black.
But Gu Xun'er, who had just shifted her attention to reality, was shocked.
She was in a doomsday scene, with flowing rocks and volcanoes everywhere.
Even she...
"Father!"
Gu Xun'er saw her father, and he still looked anxious.
Subconsciously, Gu Xun'er wanted to pounce on him.
But before she moved even one meter, she felt as if she had hit an infinite wall.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not move forward at all.
Anxiously, she began to try other routes, but she seemed to be wrapped in a ball and had no way to escape.
At the same time, after exploration, she also saw the current situation.
She and her father were surrounded by dozens of strong men, and countless attacks were about to fall on her and her father.
Although she didn't know why time in the outside world had stopped flowing, she couldn't leave here at all.
Looking at this doomsday-like scene, Gu Xun'er could barely see a glimpse of what the ancient world used to look like.
She even saw some familiar figures among the ruins.
But now they seem to be dead.
"No, it's impossible. How is this possible?"
Gu Xun'er looked at this scene with some madness, her eyes full of disbelief.
What on earth is going on!
How did the ancient world become like this?
Also, why can she move when time is still?
Suddenly, she sensed something and quickly raised her wrist.
It was discovered that the patterns on the black cat's head that were supposed to be buried under the skin were flickering as if they were breathing, and were even slightly warm.
"Sister Zhuqing!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Xun'er seemed to understand something.
This tattoo was left by Zhu Zhuqing when she was a child. It is said that it can be used to summon ten shadow slaves to serve her.
Over the years, she has been using it as a token. Although the strength of the shadow soldier is still weak, it has always been her most trusted tool.
But unexpectedly, this mark has become a guarantee for her salvation.
Seeing that the mark was just flashing but had no other effect, Gu Xun'er quickly injected her fighting spirit into it.
The moment the fighting spirit was injected into it, Zhu Zhuqing's projection appeared in front of Gu Xun'er.
Originally, Zhu Zhuqing should have been in the Flame Realm at this time.
In fact, he is indeed in the Flame Realm now.
While the Devouring Realm digested the energy provided by the Flame Realm, it also diverted a portion of it to Xiao Yixiang and Cai Lin for their breakthrough.
However, even though she was making a breakthrough, Zhu Zhuqing still hadn't forgotten about the ancient clan.
Using the power of fate to spy on what happened to the ancient clan, Zhu Zhuqing didn't care about the tragic deaths of the ancient clan members, but when Gu Xun'er was about to die, she still chose to take action.
However, she did not directly rescue Gu Xun'er.
The reason she took action was entirely because Gu Xun'er really treated her as a sister.
But that wasn't enough for her to come to the rescue herself.
Gu Yuan's choice has determined the life and death of the Gu clan and himself.
She just wanted to give Gu Xun'er a choice.
So she used the law of time to pull out the time of her and Gu Xun'er and created a new time branch in another place. Here, as long as she could maintain it, even if she stayed there until her death, only a moment would have passed when she returned to reality.
And why do we need to contact Gu Xun'er through the black shadow mark?
That's of course because without a medium the consumption would be too great.
And it was mentioned before that Zhu Zhuqing doesn't like to pry into other people's privacy, so although the black shadow mark can sense Gu Xun'er's location, if Zhu Zhuqing wants to project the image over there, she needs Gu Xun'er's consent.
The moment Gu Xun'er saw Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes turned red and she subconsciously wanted to pounce on Zhu Zhuqing.
But it is conceivable that how could a mere projection be touched?
"Sister Zhuqing, what on earth is going on?!"
Seeing that she failed to pounce on Zhu Zhuqing, Gu Xun'er burst into tears.
She looked as aggrieved as a 200-pound girl.
"Emperor Hun Tian has led the Hun Clan to invade your Ancient Clan..."
Zhu Zhuqing roughly talked about the invasion of Emperor Hun Tian but did not go into too much detail. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that she had known about it all along but did nothing?
"You and your father are the only ones left in the Ancient Clan now. I'm still in the Flame Realm and can't make it here in such a short time.
Time standing still is not as useful as you think. To you, it may seem that it is others who have been stopped, but the reality is that I have extended your time countless times.
You are now out of touch with real time, and so am I, which is why I can communicate with you.
But because of the time disconnection, you and I are trapped in the cracks of time, and the real world is like an insurmountable mountain for us.
Neither you nor I can get over it.
So if I want to get to you, I have to stop time and let the passage of time return to normal, but then you will die instantly and your father will also die in the subsequent bombardment.
All I can do now is to keep you alive a little longer."
Zhu Zhuqing was right. It was extremely difficult to cross space when time stood still.
Zhu Zhuqing is currently unable to cross long distances, otherwise the consumption would be horrific.
It is estimated that once I reach the ancient world, I will no longer have any strength to fight. I will just be a dead end if I go there, so it is better to be direct.
I just can't go.
"What should we do now?"
After hearing this, Gu Xun'er fell into sadness.
Originally, she wanted to ask Zhu Zhuqing if she could come to save them, but when she heard that Zhu Zhuqing was now in the Flame Realm and could not move too far as time stood still, she became depressed.
Are she and her father really going to die here today?
Looking at Gu Yuan, Gu Xun'er shed tears.
She had only been home for a short time, but why did those damn soul tribes attack her?!
Gu Xun'er was just a young girl in her twenties. She had always been under the protection of Gu Yuan and had no idea of the dangers of the world. She didn't know how to deal with things when she encountered problems.
"Now you only have two choices!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Xun'er and said softly.
