609: Chapter 609 Desolate Universe

Nolan walked up to Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao looked up at him, her expression complex: "Grandpa Nolan—"

Nolan smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Zhao Zhao, you have grown up. There are some things I no longer need to worry about for you, but there is one thing I still want to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Cooperate with Chen Yi. No matter what he wants to do, cooperate with him."

"Grandpa Nolan, you know about those things too?"

Nolan did not answer, only waving his hand: "Go, he is waiting for you!"

After saying this, he turned around, his figure dissipating into the air.

Zhao Zhao stood in place, watching the direction where Nolan had disappeared, silent for a long time.

She had originally thought she could live a stable life with Chen Yi, living until the end of time—

But she never expected that such a thing would happen.

The mission on her shoulders was truly too heavy—

At this moment, Chen Yi thought about it and decided to invite Yue Wen to have some tea and chat.

Without any communication, it would be almost impossible to win her over.

Yue Wen was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

Fiya, Zhao Zhao, and Emilia also consciously stepped back, not disturbing them.

—

The highest-spec pavilion in the Void Realm was named the Star-Plucking Pavilion.

The pavilion was built on a floating mountain, surrounded by a churning sea of clouds, with a brilliant starry sky overhead.

The air was filled with the faint fragrance of tea, brewed from spirit flowers plucked from the deepest parts of the Void Realm; a single pot cost over a hundred energy purple crystals!

It was simply not something a normal person could afford to drink!

Chen Yi was silent for a long time.

Looking at Yue Wen's calm expression, he finally decided to speak first: "Young Miss Yue Wen, you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden change occurred!

Countless silver-white Formation runes suddenly appeared in the space around the pavilion.

Those runes swam, intertwined, and condensed in the air, forming a huge ring that enveloped the entire pavilion!

In the center of the ring, a pitch-black vortex was slowly forming.

Yue Wen was suddenly shocked: "Who dares to plot against this seat?"

No one responded.

The vortex grew larger and deeper, like a giant eye, coldly staring at them.

The suction force grew stronger and stronger, sucking in all the tables, chairs, tea sets, and snacks in the pavilion.

Chen Yi immediately took out a wind-attribute secret treasure from his bosom, wanting to activate teleportation.

However, he discovered that his space ring could not be used, and his internal space could not be opened either!

All items and skills related to space were completely sealed!

"This is—"

Chen Yi frowned.

This enemy knew his System's abilities very well.

Knowing he would use the wind-attribute secret treasure to teleport, they had sealed all spatial abilities in advance!

Everything had been calculated to the death!

Yue Wen directly raised her hand, intending to cast time reversal to pull everything back to before the vortex appeared.

But the next second, a hand reached out from the Void Realm and squeezed gently.

Yue Wen's time power shattered instantly like a mirror!

Time power, actually shattered so easily?

"Is this—the power of a God Emperor?"

"Who is it? Come out!"

"Stop hiding there!"

But still, no one responded.

In just two and a half seconds, the vortex had expanded to its limit, swallowing the entire pavilion.

Chen Yi and Yue Wen's figures were pulled by that suction force, flying uncontrollably toward the center of the vortex, completely swallowed.

With a flash of light, the two disappeared without a trace.

In the pavilion, only the tables and chairs that had been sucked askew and a few broken teacups on the ground remained.

And just at this moment, the Void Realm cracked, and a figure slowly emerged.

A white-faced, black-bottomed mask, dark gray eyes, a black robe moving without wind—it was still Alke!

He stood in the center of the pavilion, looking at the direction where Chen Yi and Yue Wen had disappeared, and let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, you don't even know how to pick up girls, and yet you still need me to make a move—"

"I really don't understand how you managed to get so many women."

"Can we still return to the past? Chen Yu, Linna—"

—

In the distance, Nolan stood in the sea of clouds, silently watching this scene.

His expression was calm, but complex emotions churned in his dark gray eyes.

At least for now, his goal was the same as Alke's.

Both hoped that Chen Yi could form a contract with Yue Wen to achieve the final key!

But after that, he would likely have to become enemies with Alke!

To become enemies with this obsession that has lived for tens of millions of years and belongs to the past!

He shook his head and turned to leave.

—

Don't know how long passed, Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

The moment his consciousness returned, he felt his body light and airy.

No gravity, no resistance, no restraints of any kind.

He was floating in the Void Realm, surrounded by endless darkness, with only faint starlight flickering in the distance.

This was not the Void Realm, not Blue Star, not any place he had been to!

There was no ground beneath his feet, no sky overhead, only endless darkness and those large and small stars in the distance!

They floated quietly in the Void Realm; some shone alone, some were in groups of three or five, and some were surrounded by circles of halos—

This place was just like the Universe!

No, one could say that this was the Universe!

The pitch-black background, the brilliant stars, the endless Void Realm—it was exactly the same as everything before his eyes!

But the Universe of Blue Star was the real Universe, a vast space where countless life planets floated.

But what on earth was this place?

Chen Yi took a deep breath.

With his current life form, he could survive in the Universe even without air.

An existence above Tier 14 no longer needed to rely on the external environment to provide oxygen.

His body would automatically extract everything it needed from energy to maintain life functions.

But the problem was, who the hell had teleported him to the Universe?

He looked around, but did not see Yue Wen; she did not seem to be by his side.

It was just him who had been teleported here alone.

An existence at the God Emperor level should be fine.

Chen Yi took out all his wind-attribute secret treasures from his internal space.

"System, help me teleport back to the Void Realm!"

[Ding! Exceeded the distance limit for teleportation! Please find a higher-grade wind-attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasure, or use teleportation from a location closer to the Void Realm!]

"As expected, it doesn't work!"

Chen Yi clicked his tongue and put the secret treasures away.

From the very beginning, when the opponent used that move to seal his internal space, he vaguely sensed that this person must know about his System's power.

Since they knew about his System's power, naturally, they wouldn't just leave him here where he could teleport back at any time.

However, the only good news was that this person didn't seem to have any killing intent toward him.

Otherwise, judging by the power to teleport him and Yue Wen away, killing him would have been easy.

Now it seemed that the opponent just wanted to trap him and Yue Wen here for a period of time to achieve some goal.

For example, the target was Zhao Zhao or Emilia—
