Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 1059 Return to Saint Gold (4K views, please vote!)

In the boundless star realm, billions of stars converge, transforming into a torrent of starlight that surges and crashes through the void, with a long, mournful cry of a whale echoing from within the starlight every now and then.

Wherever the whale's cry passed, the void creatures living in the astral void moved aside with remarkable skill and speed.

There's no other way; living in the astral void requires keen eyesight, which is the most important factor for survival.

Within the astral void reside void creatures, evil gods, ancient evil beings, divine abominations, astral behemoths, and many legendary powerhouses qualified to traverse the astral realm, even divine avatars.

In this environment, to survive, one must understand what can be provoked and what must never be provoked.

Right now, the giant astral Kun that is speeding through the astral void is something that most beings living in the astral void cannot afford to provoke.

The giant astral kun wasn't particularly large among astral void creatures, but the key point was the terrifying figure sitting cross-legged atop its head.

The human simply sat there quietly, yet he seemed like a divine mountain capable of crushing countless planes. Countless skeletal remains and wronged souls surrounded him, cursing, wailing, and crying out, but there was no possibility of escape.

The terrifying sword energy that occasionally burst forth made everyone who sensed it tremble with fear.

Those roaming freely in the void of the star realm were naturally Gao Yang and Fatty Kun Kun.

After leaving Eberron, Gao Yang rode the chubby Kun Kun all the way towards the crystal wall system where the Holy Gold World was located.

Now, unless a deity personally intervenes, ordinary beings in the void cannot cause him any trouble.

Because he was confident enough, Gao Yang acted unusually domineering and arrogant in order to save time.

During his nearly two-week journey, there were attempts to harm him, but he always managed to kill them all with a single sword strike.

Later, Gao Yang directly unleashed his aura. Under the crimson aura of natural disaster, it was as if a natural disaster was sweeping through, and countless creatures took the initiative to avoid it, which made Fathead Kun Kun even more excited.

As a colossal beast, he had never roamed the astral plane as freely as he was now.

His bloodline memories told him that until he truly came of age or even grew into a mature, powerful astral giant, he needed to be cautious on his journey through the astral realm.

But now, the master sitting on his head is telling him with the most powerful aura that he can fly freely!
With its short, thick tail lashing against the starlight behind it, the Fathead Kunkun's massive body burst through the passage cleared by numerous void creatures in an instant, speeding towards the distant void beneath the tassel-like streaks of starlight.

After an unknown amount of time, Gao Yang reached out and patted the chubby Kun Kun's thick skin.

Fathead Kun let out a satisfied whale cry, and its speed began to decrease rapidly.

Soon, it came to a stop in a dark part of the starry sky.

Gao Yang stood up from its head and looked into the darkness ahead.

This is the dimensional coordinate of the Holy Gold World in the astral void. At such a close distance, he could feel the faint dimensional fluctuations emanating from the Holy Gold World.

That fluctuation was very similar to the frequency of his heartbeat, because he had mastered the unique skill of the Blazing Sun Furnace with the help of the consciousness of the Holy Gold World plane.

It's normal to have such a connection.

Gao Yang lightly tapped the fat-headed Kun Kun, which immediately transformed into a large amount of starlight and entered his left arm.

Putting away the starlight, Gao Yang looked at the darkness before him, stretched out his right hand, and scorching golden battle qi spread from his palm, which was then restrained into rays that shot out towards the darkness ahead.

Soon, the battle aura ray seemed to encounter something and disappeared into space.

wow~
Space rippled like water, and within that undulating space, a corner of the Holy Golden World's plane was revealed before Gao Yang's eyes.

Gao Yang felt a familiar yet unfamiliar aura. In a flash, his fighting spirit covered his entire body, and he directly merged into the plane revealed by the Holy Gold World.

The next instant, Gao Yang appeared ten thousand meters in the sky, with a desolate and barren land below him, gloomy and dark clouds around him, and a star that had almost lost all its light hanging in the sky.

With just one glance, Gao Yang was certain that the Holy Gold World was about to reach its end.

This world, including its dimensional consciousness, has no surplus power left to improve the living environment of dimensional beings.

'If we had arrived any later, the Holy Golden World might have collapsed at any moment.'

Gao Yang sighed inwardly, then sensed the surroundings before flying towards the Yongyao capital of the Holy Gold Empire.

Now, with the powerful blessing of "My Heart Is Free," his speed has become unbelievable, and the distance of his various teleportation methods has increased exponentially.

With his full speed ahead, Gao Yang saw the magnificent yet dilapidated city appearing at the edge of his field of vision in less than an hour.

That was the last pride of the Holy Golden Empire, and the most dazzling pearl created by humanity across the entire plane.

But as time has passed, the Eternal Glory Kingdom has fallen into decline, yet it still stubbornly carries on the legacy of the last remaining people of the Holy Gold World.

Gao Yang extended his senses and discovered that the city closest to Yongyao's capital, Agamemnon, had become a dead city. The original traces of life had been completely submerged by various dark brown vines, and the entire city was devoid of any vitality.

Gao Yang didn't stop moving. In just a few flashes, he appeared outside the city walls of Yongyao Capital.

He looked down at the city gate, where some ragged residents, carrying baskets woven from black vines, were slowly walking from the black earth outside the city.

The baskets behind them appeared to contain some tuberous roots and some animal carcasses of unknown origin.

He turned to look at the city gate. Beneath the massive gate stood only four middle-aged and elderly guards. They wore tattered armor and had no new wounds, but none of them were unharmed.

Gao Yang recognized the guards; they had once been members of the Eternal Radiance Knights.

After the passage of time, the once spirited knights who followed the Knights Order on their long march to pacify the Holy Golden World have begun to show signs of aging.

Beneath her gray hair were wrinkles etched with the marks of time. As a world on the verge of collapse, the Holy Gold World no longer produced enough resources to sustain all its survivors.

But they wore peaceful smiles, talking to every resident returning from outside the city, patting them on the shoulder familiarly, and chatting with them.

Despite the hardships of life, everyone is tenaciously surviving and waiting.

Gao Yang took a deep breath, without alerting anyone, and in the next instant, he appeared above the camp of the Eternal Radiance Knights.

In the stables on the north side of the camp, only a little over a hundred emaciated Nightmare Beasts remained.

The once unruly and powerful Nightmare Beasts, strong as dragons, have lost their former glory and now struggle to survive in a scarcity environment.

Inside the camp, many knights were undergoing simple training.

The leader was none other than Commander Hank, who had once fought alongside Gao Yang.

The one-eyed man who was once as strong as a bear now only has his left arm intact, while the sleeve of his right arm flutters in the wind.

His muscles had atrophied, his facial skin drooped, and he looked very old, but his spirit was still strong, like a senile lion, passing on his combat experience to the new generation of Eternal Radiance Knights in front of him.

With a flash of sword light, Gao Yang appeared beside Hank.

Hank, who was instructing the new recruits, suddenly stopped, a fierce glint flashing in his one eye. Like a startled lion, he quickly locked onto Gao Yang, who had suddenly appeared there.

Faced with Hank's almost predatory and violent aura, Gao Yang's smile remained unchanged. He simply looked calmly at the tall, one-eyed, burly man before him and said softly:

"Hank, long time no see." The familiar voice, the familiar face, the strong body struck Hank like a thunderbolt. The violent aura that had just risen vanished instantly, replaced by a barely perceptible tremor.

"Lord Li Li!?"

Hank stepped forward and reached out his left hand toward Gao Yang, seemingly wanting to pat Gao Yang on the shoulder.

But halfway through reaching out, he slowly stopped, hesitating and not daring to go forward.

He was afraid, afraid that all of this was just a hallucination before his death, afraid that as his hand fell, the young man he had been looking forward to for so long would just vanish with the wind.

Gao Yang looked at Hank, took a step forward, and patted Hank's left arm.

bang bang bang~
The dull rumble of flesh colliding suddenly rang out, and Hank's expression suddenly became vivid. He grimaced and swung his arms as he looked at Gao Yang in front of him, a light more dazzling than the stars shining in his single eye.

Hank looked at Gao Yang before him, his voice trembling slightly: "Lord Li, it really is you! You're back!"

Gao Yang withdrew his hand, smiled and nodded, "I'm back, and I've brought some good news. Hank, would you like to hear it?"

Hank grabbed Gao Yang's arm, his fingers like eagle claws, his strength so great that they almost dug into Gao Yang's muscles.

"Lord Li, is it the thing you promised before, the new... new home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hank's heart began to pound, and he felt a pang of anxiety and uncertainty.

Faced with Hank's longing gaze, Gao Yang didn't beat around the bush. Instead, he nodded decisively and said, "Yes, I have found a brand new plane that can serve as the plane where you will live from now on."

Hank's grip on Gao Yang's arm finally began to tremble. He looked at Gao Yang in front of him, then turned his gaze to the malnourished recruits standing opposite them. His only remaining eye began to redden.

"Thank you, thank you, Lord Li. The people of the Holy Golden World will always remember your kindness."

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "Hank, don't forget that we were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. There's no point in talking about this."

"By the way, where's Jenny?"

Gao Yang had not forgotten that woman, stronger than Hank at his peak, with a bright smile that seemed to never fade beneath her neat pink buzz cut.

Hank glanced at Gao Yang, his eyes revealing an almost numb sadness.

“Jenny, that woman collapsed thirteen years ago. The long-term high-intensity training, coupled with the injuries she suffered, left her in pain every day.”

For her, that should be considered a relief.

Now, I'm the only old man left. What a cruel bunch.

Gao Yang's smile vanished. He looked at Hank in front of him, silently patted him on the shoulder, and then said:
"So, Hank, how many people are left in the capital now? We need to leave."

Hank struggled out of his grief, looked at Gao Yang, and quickly said, "There are about 630,000 people left."

Are there only 630,000 people left?

Gao Yang fell silent. He clearly remembered that when he left the Holy Golden World, there were still more than two million people.

Seeing Gao Yang's silence, Hank assumed that the number was far too high.

He glanced at the new recruits with some concern, then gritted his teeth and said, "Aside from old guys like me, there are probably less than 500,000."

Gao Yang looked up at Hank and realized that his silence earlier had caused Hank to misunderstand.

He patted Hank on the shoulder and said casually, "Don't worry, Hank, we can take away not just 600,000, but even a million."

You, all of you, and all the survivors of the Holy Golden World, will go to a new home and begin a new life.

This is not just empty talk. Fathead Kunkun slept in the Bright Light Pool for more than five months, which translates to more than twenty years. This was extremely helpful for its growth.

It is precisely because of this accelerated growth that it has reached a size of 100 kilometers, and its internal space is so vast that it can be called a small world.

Hank was shocked and looked at Gao Yang in disbelief: "Lord Li, is this true?"

"Don't you need to consider that taking all of us old folks would be a burden for you?"

"Hank, I told you, you don't need to worry about anything."

Gao Yang patted him on the shoulder and continued, "What you need to do now is to get this news to everyone in the capital as soon as possible and let them prepare for the relocation."

Seeing Gao Yang's certainty, Hank finally confirmed that this matter was indeed not a burden for Gao Yang.

He quickly replied, "Don't worry, Lord Li, everyone will be able to prepare for the relocation in three days at most."

"There's no need to rush, we can slow things down a bit."

As Gao Yang spoke, he turned and asked, "By the way, Hank, how is the water supply handled in the Yongyao capital?"

"With water?"

Hank paused for a moment, then said, "There are seven underground water reservoirs in the capital, and the daily water for daily life is taken from these reservoirs."

Originally, there were more than twenty reservoirs, but over time, many of them have gradually dried up.

Gao Yang nodded to show his understanding.

He then took a Vitality Chloe from his backpack.

As soon as the Vitality Chloe was taken out, Hank's eyes were uncontrollably fixed on the fruit.

He hadn't felt that rich energy and plump flesh for a long time, and his body craved the energy within the fruit.

Gao Yang placed the Vitality Krogo in Hank's one arm and said, "Your body has been in a state of energy depletion for a long time, and your condition is very poor."

This fruit can replenish your fighting spirit; recover some first.

Upon hearing this, Hank immediately shook his head: "No, Lord Li, this is too precious, I cannot accept it."

Gao Yang ignored him and casually waved his hand, and sixty Vitality Chloe appeared in front of him.

"Put these fruits into the reservoir so that the residents of the capital can drink water with abundant energy for a few days, which will help you get through the next period of migration."

Hank looked at the pile of vibrant Chloe fruit, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat, leaving only an unconscious murmur: "Lord Li, thank you. Thank you."

Then, he turned to the recruits in front of him, his expression excited: "You little bastards, did you hear that? Get moving, all of you!"

"We're heading to our new home. Don't just stand there idly. Quickly do as Lord Li instructed and throw these fruits into the reservoir."

As soon as Hank finished speaking, the dozens of new recruits who had been stunned immediately sprang into action.
