Ancient Magic Realm, vast and endless.

Countless beings have arrived here, and this is the land of culmination.

According to legend, the virtuous go to heaven, while the wicked go to hell. The creatures that come here will likely suffer the torment of the eighteen levels of purgatory. The more wicked they are, the more severe their punishment, and they may never escape!

However, that is only for mortals!

At this moment, above the black continent covered in boundless red-brown mist, a black-haired youth appeared out of nowhere. Standing beside him was a tall, blue-haired girl.

Yes, Xu Chen is now suspended in mid-air! And the blue-haired girl, Yule, who cannot fly, can also float in the sky of the magic realm while leaning on Xu Chen!

What is going on?

Long story short!

The story goes back several months ago when Qingyin ventured into the deepest level of the magic realm alone.

Xu Chen could only silently watch her leave, knowing full well the endless dangers ahead of her, but he could do nothing. It was related to the safety of his sister, Star Dance, and Xu Chen knew he could not stop Qingyin.

But this feeling of helplessness made Xu Chen very uncomfortable!

This is not his character!

He would not just resign himself and entrust hope and danger to a girl! Should he just wait here???

If Xu Chen had done so, he would not have had the experiences he has now! His sisters would have left him a long time ago!

So Xu Chen began his own training!

However, he knew he didn't have much time!

Whether or not Qingyin and Star Dance encounter any trouble, they probably won't hold on for more than a few years. If they go years without trouble, that also means they have gained the power to protect themselves!

But what can he achieve in just a few months?

How much can he improve his strength???

So Xu Chen started considering another path, not about how to become stronger himself, but about how to gain time!

Yes, as long as there is enough time, there will always be a chance to become stronger!

And what is time? Physical time? It seems unchangeable!

But what about the mind?

As the saying goes, a dream of a thousand years!

Unable to change real time, but if Xu Chen's mental power allows him to accelerate his thinking, thinking at a normal speed but thousands, tens of thousands of times faster, then Xu Chen's conscious time would slow down, right!

Following this train of thought, Xu Chen began a painfully long comprehension! This way of thinking that exhausts one's mental power made his days feel like years, extremely painful!

Yes! Days feel like years! That's exactly what Xu Chen wanted!

Xu Chen found a brand new space!

That is the realm of the conscious void!

There, Xu Chen can control the speed of time according to his consciousness!

However, Xu Chen also discovered the immense risk of the conscious void.

It is very likely that once immersed in it, one may never come back!

The higher the achievement in the conscious void, one thought could be equivalent to billions of years. Perhaps it would only be a few months in the outside world, but for someone immersed in it, it would be like never returning!

This is very contradictory!

But Xu Chen has no choice!

After much contemplation, he envisioned a plan, a chance. In case he becomes engrossed and trapped in the endless cycle of the conscious space, there needs to be a trigger to awaken him and bring him back!

And at this moment, he thought of the person who might be able to do it!

That person is the girl who was there at the beginning of his legendary journey!

Perhaps, Qingyin, Izayoi, and Star Dance have a stronger bond with Xu Chen and are more suitable, but they are not by his side!

Now the only one he can rely on is Yule from the Colang tribe!

However, this poses great risks for Yule as well. Exploring the conscious void together with Xu Chen may also mean falling into it, never to return!!

Nevertheless, Yule agreed without hesitation!

At this moment, any words of gratitude are meaningless!

At this critical moment, Yule's selflessness will be remembered by Xu Chen!

She and Yule will definitely come back! They will definitely come back!!!

It was just a few months ago that Xu Chen entrusted a lot to Devol, and then, with Yule, embarked on the path to Xu Chen's consciousness!

This journey lasted for billions of years!!!

Yes, the fact is that Xu Chen and Yule returned to the ancient demonic realm, in the physical space, in just a few months!

But in the consciousness space they entered, the two of them had already experienced billions of years of adventures, endless cycles. It was only in the most recent cycle, the past decade or so, that they coincidentally met and triggered an opportunity to come back!

The things they experienced during that time were... so long and so painful, it's truly unbearable to think of!

Torture, suffering, struggles, despair!!! Billions of years!!!

For Xu Chen and Yule, those were truly billions of years!!!

Yet today, they returned!

Finally, they came back!

And, they brought with them the power of the consciousness void!

Yes, although Xu Chen still couldn't use the power of chaos in the ancient demonic realm because there was no chaos origin there!

However, Xu Chen's heart could connect to the consciousness void, where he had his own heart's origin!

This gave him unimaginable power!

Xu Chen is probably one of a kind, the only existence who can use the power from the consciousness void, the power of the heart's origin!

"Yule... I really don't know how to express it. This time, I can never repay you for enduring billions of years of suffering," Xu Chen, although back, looked at the girl beside him with immense guilt.

Yule's expression was complicated, but there was a smile on her face. "Actually, I don't have any memories of those billions of years. My memories only go back to before we entered the consciousness void, until the most recent sixteen years. So, I don't have any particular feelings about it."

"Well, my memories are similar to yours. But I can deduce that I must have gone through unimaginable cycles of pain during those billions of years. Yule, I've caused trouble for you... I'm truly sorry!"

Yule didn't speak, tears streamed down her smiling face. "Hurry, save our sisters first, don't delay any longer! I'll be waiting for you here!"

With a thought, Xu Chen used the power of the heart's origin from the consciousness void to create a flying ship in the real world.

Xu Chen sent Yule onto the ship.

"Yule, this ship is incredibly powerful. It's enough to escort you back to Demonic Capital. When you get there, bring Devol and everyone else onto the ship. It's much safer in the ship than in Demonic Capital!" Xu Chen said.

"Yes!" Yule nodded.

Watching Yule's graceful figure board the ship, the ethereal form hidden beneath her light blue dress, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel a tremor, but now wasn't the time to think about such things.

"Yule!"

"Yes...?"

"Wait for me... to come back!"

Yule looked at Xu Chen with a seemingly different gaze, her face blushing slightly as she nodded.
