Chapter - 3575

At that moment, Zeke had yet to regain his composure, his face a picture of utter bewilderment.

"I-"

The palace protector seized him, tearing through the void before them and instantly plunging in.

He only felt a gust of wind rushing past his ears, and in no time at all, he found himself standing in front of the Worldly Palace.

As Zeke drew closer, he could feel even more intensely the grandeur of the palace. It was as if countless towering mountains were looming before him, looking down upon him from their lofty heights.

In such a grand palace, there was not a single soul to be seen or a hint of vital energy.

It was desolate and despondent.

The palace protector who had brought him here had inexplicably vanished at this point, and the golden rope around him had also been untied.

In front of him was only a towering gate, seemingly waiting for his approach.

Zeke carefully recalled the words previously spoken by the palace protector. Vital energy is needed to comprehend the past, present, and future?

It's really strange.

However, it seemed that this was the only path laid out before Zeke now.

In truth, he yearned to leave, driven by the uncertainty of Lacey's fate.

There was an inexplicably pulling force behind that door. He felt as if he could sense Lacey's aura just by thinking about her. It was as if Lacey's aura permeated the confines of the Worldly Palace.

He found himself somewhat drawn to it.

He slowly made his way over and pushed the door open.

Creak!

Before him wasn't a palace, but a vast expanse of white mist.

As he moved further in, the white mist gradually dissipated. In its place, silhouettes of people appeared. They were engaged in lively conversations. Along with them, the familiar sight of a modern street came into view, and skyscrapers emerged.

It was as if he had traversed through time, appearing in the middle of the city.

Cars were coming and going, bathed in the brilliant glow of the streetlights.

"Zeke! You're here!"

Suddenly, a charming figure appeared beside him. He turned his head and to his surprise, it was Lacey.

Lacey gently tapped his shoulder from behind, then moved to his side and wrapped her arms around his.

"Lacey?" Zeke was lost in thought for a moment.

No...

She's not Lacey. This Lacey has no vital energy.

But every move she makes perfectly matches the image etched in my mind.

"Let's go..."

Throughout their journey, Lacey was incredibly enthusiastic, just as she used to be, joyfully spending her time with Zeke.

Gradually, Zeke became lost in it, slowly starting to believe that this was not an illusionary realm. It was as if he had discarded the memories from the Secret Realm of Mount Kush.

He had no idea how much time had passed, perhaps only a few hours, when the sound of ancient war bells echoed in his mind.

The scenery before his eyes whirled away, turning into dust.

In front of him, there was still a vast expanse of white mist.

The white mist gradually grew murky, transforming into a sensation akin to the chaos that the Force of Annihilation had previously brought to Zeke.

A look of confusion surfaced in Zeke's eyes as he emerged from the chaos, beholding a vast expanse of land.

In the sky above, several enormous stars dominated, casting a shadow over the sun.

It wasn't his world.

Across the land, countless remnants and skeletal remains were scattered.

Several terrifying presences, surpassing the strength known to Zeke, seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle. The earth was continuously cracking under the immense. force, and the sky alternated between being overcast and brilliantly lit.

Several cloaked cultivators were being pursued relentlessly.

The aura about them was unlike those of Eternal Class that Zeke had previously perceived.

It was beyond that.

Their pace was swift, continuously shattering the void as they traveled.

From behind, dozens of massive emerald swords were in pursuit.

Zeke was stunned to see that each of these emerald swords was significantly larger than the one he had seen with Emerald Sword God in the Ancient Graveyard.

It was simply because the world was so vast that it could accommodate everything.

"Run! Emerald Sword Sect, don't you dare push it too far! People from the Pantheon are almost here!" the ones being pursued cried out in alarm.

A series of chilling, mocking laughter echoed.

"So what if they're almost here? You aim to shatter the heavens and earth, to obliterate all existence. You are the common enemy of every living being! Today, I'm going to annihilate all of you cultivators in this realm!"
