Chapter 259: Chapter 137: Forming an Ordinary Golden Core_1

The starry sky gleamed, the Milky Way strewn across it.

The universe was vast and profound, desolate yet expansive.

As far as the eye could see, countless stars twinkled.

A lone star, burning with endless fire, radiating boundless heat, seemed so close to Qi Yuan, as if he could touch it with an outstretched hand.

Hot, searing, sweat beaded on Ningtuo’s pale, delicate face. Her black, long dress clung tightly to her petite frame, accentuating her dainty figure. Even as the great sovereign, she felt the heat now.

Gazing at the universe, her face wore a strange expression, tinged with a touch of fear for the unknown.

The so-called stars were all associated with the gods of legend.

And in this universe, there were so many stars...

Qi Yuan wrapped his arms around Ningtuo, his body burning hotter than hers. His voice trembled, "This is a brand new universe..."

According to the concept of the universe, the Vast Wave Realm, Wangyue Continent, and the Flowing Wind Realm all existed within the same universe.

Above the dome of the sky, there were the same stars, the same divine projections, or rather, reflections.

Of course, the situation in the Flowing Wind Realm might be somewhat special.

Qi Yuan had arrived in a brand new universe through the Door of Diversity.

This universe was eerily silent.

Qi Yuan sensed no living beings here.

Or perhaps, there were living beings, but he did not sense them.

But, the sun, moon, and stars here, were real.

They were not divine reflections, not false projections.

With Ningtuo in his arms, the Great Sun Golden Lotus within him was burning everything, and his consciousness started to blur.

Departing from the Flowing Wind Realm, he seemed to have stepped out of the game, not needing to return to the Vast Wave Realm immediately.

However, his current physical condition needed to be addressed.

The Great Sun Golden Lotus continued to burn.

Looking at Ningtuo, his expression showed a ripple of emotion, "I should go."

Otherwise, the Great Sun Golden Lotus might hurt Ningtuo.

Ningtuo stood in the vast void, looking at the familiar figure so close to her. Her expression was firm, holding tightly onto Qi Yuan’s sleeve. Her slender legs wrapped in black stockings gripped Qi Yuan’s waist tightly, as if afraid of him disappearing suddenly, just like in the past.

Seeing the timid Ningtuo, Qi Yuan squeezed out a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."

As Qi Yuan spoke, he looked at the star ahead that seemed so close yet not far.

He said, "See that? That small sun is about to become my Golden Core."

A glimmer of doubt flashed in Ningtuo’s eyes.

She didn’t understand, but listened quietly.

"I’m going there to swallow it." Determination showed in Qi Yuan’s eyes.

"You don’t need to worry about me, I... am building my Heavenly Foundation. Swallowing a star is nothing at all!

I once heard of a strong man who swallowed a universe.

So, me swallowing a star is nothing in comparison."

"Blood Pearl... You mustn’t lie to me!" A mist of tears welled up in Ningtuo’s eyes.

She feared that Qi Yuan was deceiving her.

Qi Yuan intended to leave her alone here to face the all-consuming Great Sun Golden Lotus by himself.

"When have I lied to you?" Qi Yuan’s thoughts were complex as he grasped Ningtuo’s soft hand, his expression gentle.

The bond between them was deep.

At this moment, the burning of the Great Sun Golden Lotus became even more terrifying, instantly burning Ningtuo’s clothes to ashes. But she seemed to deliberately not resist the burning.

Qi Yuan’s hand rested on Ningtuo’s smooth, pink back, her jade-white body fully exposed to him.

Her petite body slightly twisted, her full breasts brushing against his arm, suppressing his desire.

Ningtuo whispered into Qi Yuan’s ear, her voice soft but tone imperious, "Blood Pearl, you’ve seen my body, regardless of how ugly I am, you can’t reject me!

If you leave without saying goodbye, I... I will bind you to my side for all eternity!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan couldn’t discern whether the charming girl in his arms was the Canary or Ningtuo.

All he knew was her eyes were captivating.

"I won’t." Qi Yuan looked down at the girl, his eyes resolute but his voice tinged with worry, "It’s just... after refining the star into my Golden Core, I might... I might leave here too. I’m afraid... only the Golden Core will remain.

If the Golden Core forms, don’t keep looking at it. It might affect your memory."

He would leave a part of himself here.

Ningtuo seemed to understand, she tilted her head, her moist red lips approached Qi Yuan’s, a triumphant smile on her face. "I left my mark. Dear, now you belong to me."

However, her smile soon vanished, replaced with a fearful expression, "Blood Pearl, you take a bite too, I... I want to be yours!"

The daring and flirtatious one was Ningtuo, the shy and proud one was Canary.

Qi Yuan lowered his head and got closer to her, a faint fragrance hit him. He said, "Our combined mental ages don’t even add up to other people’s shoe sizes.

Little Ningtuo, I have to go."

This kind of innocence, simplicity, and purity dispelled the gloom in Qi Yuan’s heart.

Ningtuo hugged Qi Yuan’s head, her face flushed. A black dress reappeared on her body, as did black stockings on her slender, pale legs.

At their level, it was simplest to form a piece of clothing from cosmic dust, of course, mana could also be used to form it.

She looked at Qi Yuan, her voice carrying a hint of stubbornness: "You know it."

Qi Yuan nodded, he looked deeply at Ningtuo and then turned his gaze to the countless stars in the vast universe.
