All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Before the entrance to the spacetime portal connecting all the heavens and myriad worlds, bathed in shimmering light and with gentle currents, Sabella and Luo stood side by side, their gazes fixed on Yue Gui and Karen, their voices soft yet full of concern: "Are you ready?"

Yue Gui raised his hand and gripped the divine spear possessed by Wei Yu. The spear was slightly warm and surrounded by a faint halo. A resolute look flashed in his eyes as he slowly nodded: "Yes, last night at midnight, the divine spear suddenly emitted anchor point guidance, seemingly guiding us to some unknown place."

He paused, his fingertips lightly tracing the gun barrel, clearly sensing the urgency and expectation Wei Yu was conveying. "Its consciousness has become exceptionally active; it seems that the anchor point is very important to it."

Karen gripped the sword of the hero at his waist, a faint divine aura surrounding him. Even with his luck greatly diminished, the hero's nonchalance and determination remained unchanged. He looked at Sabella, his eyes full of smiles.

Sabella looked at the two of them, all ready to go, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. Her tone was sincere: "Don't forget, this is your home too."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it. A golden light emanated from her palm, and two slender strands of light slowly flew out, landing on Yue Gui and Karen's foreheads respectively. "I've sent you the anchor coordinates. This way, even if the world's core continues to evolve and the world continues to advance, you will still be able to find us accurately."

"If you encounter any trouble or need help, you can contact us at any time through the anchor coordinates." Sabella's gaze grew increasingly solemn. "If we encounter any more transmigrators from Earth in the future, we will do our best to help them. This means that our world has officially formed an alliance with Earth."

"An alliance with Earth?"

Karen's eyes lit up, and she burst into laughter, her hearty laughter echoing all around. "Alright! It's a deal! We'll form an alliance with Earth! Once we successfully return home, or if we encounter any powerful transmigrators from Earth, we'll definitely inform them of this news."

He paused, a hint of certainty flashing in his eyes: "I believe that among the lost souls in all the myriad worlds, there must be some truly outstanding individuals who are also searching for their way home. Perhaps they can be a source of mutual support for each other."

Yue Gui nodded slowly, his tone solemn: "That's right. If we can gather the power of all the Earth's transmigrators, we can not only find our way home faster, but also have a place in all the myriad worlds and no longer be alone and helpless."

Sabella looked at their resolute expressions and nodded with satisfaction. Without saying anything more, she simply whispered, "Goodbye."

"goodbye!"

Yue Gui and Karen spoke at the same time, waving to Sabella and Luo, their eyes filled with reluctance, but even more so with anticipation for their journey home.

Then, Yue Gui gripped the divine spear tightly, and Wei Yu's consciousness was fully activated. A dazzling golden light burst forth from the spear, and a clear anchor point emanated from the spear, pointing directly to the entrance of the space-time tunnel ahead.

"Let's go, follow the guidance of the divine spear." Yue Gui said in a calm tone, and took the lead in walking towards the entrance of the space-time tunnel.

Karen followed closely behind, her divine power surging slightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation. The two of them gradually stepped into the spacetime tunnel, enveloped by the chaotic flow of spacetime.

Sabella watched the two figures disappear, then slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Luo beside her. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke softly, her tone tinged with a hint of probing: "Mother, don't you... want to go back and see? Perhaps, the anchor point that the divine spear is pointing to is Earth."

Luo stood there, gazing in the direction of the entrance to the time-space tunnel, remaining silent for a long time, his aura becoming soft and complex.

The Earth that existed ended countless years ago. Those past memories, those joys and sorrows, have all become fleeting clouds, and can never be returned to.

Now, she belongs to this world. Here, she has her child Sabella, people she cares about, a home she needs to protect, and comrades who fight alongside her. This is her true home.

As for Earth, it is her home, but it is only her home now. Rather than clinging to the past, she should cherish the present and protect everything in front of her.

Seeing her mother's silence, Sabella understood her meaning and didn't press further. She simply held Luo's hand gently and said softly, "It's okay. Whatever decision you make, Mother, I'll be there for you."

Luo slowly turned her head to look at Sabella, her eyes filled with tenderness and relief. She nodded gently, all her words becoming silent companionship—with her daughter by her side, she had no worries.

Meanwhile, Yue Gui and Karen are rapidly traversing the space-time tunnel, guided by the divine spear possessed by Wei Yu.

Inside the spacetime tunnel, it was pitch black. Countless chaotic currents of spacetime surged wildly, emitting a piercing howl, like the wailing of countless wronged souls. Countless tiny fragments of the world floated around, colliding aimlessly in the air currents and emitting a faint aura.

The energy around the two surged slightly, forming a barrier to resist the impact of the air currents and the collision of world fragments. Their figures steadily sped towards the direction indicated by the divine spear, their speed increasing rapidly.

"Wei Yu, how much longer until we reach the anchor point?" Karen asked, struggling against the turbulent air currents, her voice tinged with urgency—she desperately wanted to find her way home, to return to Earth, and to make up for the regrets she hadn't yet fulfilled.

Yue Gui gently stroked the gun with his fingertips, sensing the information Wei Yu was conveying, and slowly said, "It will still take some time. The aura of the anchor point is becoming clearer and clearer; it's not far ahead."

Just then, Karen's eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed ahead, her tone tinged with surprise and doubt: "Yuegui! What's that up ahead?"

Following Karen's gaze, Yue Gui looked in the direction she pointed, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes—in the pitch-black spacetime tunnel, several golden lights were slowly floating, their light soft yet condensed, radiating a faint aura of souls, remaining steadily in the turbulent airflow, undispersed.

The golden lights, varying in size like tiny stars, flickered slowly, conveying a familiar aura, yet also carrying a hint of unfamiliar urgency.

Just as the two were watching the golden light, the divine spear in Yue Gui's hand suddenly began to struggle violently. The spear trembled incessantly, and the golden light surged. It even broke free from Yue Gui's hand and flew rapidly towards the direction of the golden light, full of urgency and excitement—it was Wei Yu's consciousness conveying emotions.

"What's wrong?!" Yue Gui was startled and quickly followed the divine spear, flying towards the golden light. Karen didn't dare to delay and immediately followed. The two of them instantly increased their speed to the extreme.

Upon getting closer, Yue Gui could clearly sense that the golden light contained a rich soul aura, and this aura was actually of the same origin as Wei Yu's soul aura!

At the same time, Wei Yu's consciousness was clearly transmitted into Yue Gui's mind.

Upon hearing this, Yue Gui's eyes flashed with shock—it turned out that these golden lights were actually fragments of the Sentinel's soul! No wonder the Sharpshooter was so excited and eager.

Karen also stopped and carefully sensed the information conveyed by the golden light, her brows furrowing slightly.

He paused, then continued, "I can feel their urgency. They seem to want to go to a certain world, but there is an invisible barrier blocking their way. They can't break through it and are trapped here, drifting aimlessly."

Yue Gui also carefully sensed it, and sure enough, among those golden lights, there were faint fragments of sentinel souls. They were intertwined, conveying a strong sense of urgency and helplessness, as if they were crying for help, or as if they were longing for a place to return to.

"Do you want to take back these soul fragments?" Yue Gui asked the divine spear, his tone questioning.

The divine spear trembled again, conveying a sense of certainty. Wei Yu's consciousness was extremely urgent, roughly meaning, "These sentinel soul fragments are trapped here, unable to travel to other worlds to transmit information." (Still, only he knew he was speaking; others could only perceive the general meaning.)

Karen looked at the anxious soul fragments, then at the invisible world barrier in front of her, a determined glint in her eyes: "I wonder if the two of us working together can break through this world barrier and help them escape."

Yue Gui nodded, his tone solemn: "It's worth a try. Whether it's for returning home or for the soul fragments of these trapped sentinels, we must fight with all our might. Moreover, perhaps the world behind this barrier is somehow connected to our journey home."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Without saying anything more, they immediately mobilized all their energy and prepared to join forces to break through this mysterious world barrier.

Karen gripped the Warrior's Sword tightly, his divine power surging wildly, golden light bursting forth and enveloping him completely. A sacred and majestic aura erupted, and the patterns on the sword lit up, embodying the indomitable will of a warrior.

"The Holy Sword!"

Karen let out a low shout that echoed through the space-time tunnel. He raised his hand and swung his sword. A huge golden sword shadow, carrying immense divine power, crashed down towards the world barrier in front of him, determined to cleave a gap in the barrier.

At the same time, Yue Gui also fully activated the Demon King's power within his body, and the black light around him surged, forming a stark contrast with Karen's golden light. He gripped the divine spear that he had broken free from and returned to his hand. On the spear, Wei Yu's soul aura intertwined with his Demon King's power, unleashing an even more powerful force.

"Secret Technique: Heaven-Splitting!"

With a low shout, Yue Gui poured all his demonic power into the divine spear. He raised his hand and thrust the spear, a jet-black spear light, carrying a world-destroying aura, marched alongside Karen's golden sword shadow, crashing into the world barrier.

Two powerful energies, one gold and one black, intertwined in the pitch-black spacetime tunnel, forming a dazzling light that surged forth with immense force, crashing violently against the invisible barrier of the world.

"Buzz—!!!"

A deafening buzzing sound echoed through the space-time tunnel, and a faint ripple appeared on the invisible world barrier. Then, a slight cracking sound rang out, and a small crack appeared on the barrier.

The soul fragments floating nearby sensed the cracks appearing in the barrier and instantly became incredibly active, rushing towards the cracks with great eagerness to pass through and enter the world beyond the barrier, without the slightest hesitation.

"It works!" A hint of joy flashed in Karen's eyes. Instead of stopping the output of energy, she increased the energy pouring in again. The golden sword shadow became larger and larger, and slashed fiercely at the crack, trying to widen the crack so that all the soul fragments could pass through smoothly.

Yue Gui did not relax either. The power of the Demon King around him erupted again, and the light on the divine spear became more and more intense. The dark spear light continued to strike the cracks in the barrier, constantly widening the gap. Wei Yu's consciousness also became more and more excited, and he fully cooperated with Yue Gui.

The two continued to expend energy, their already dwindling strength rapidly depleting, their breathing becoming increasingly erratic, and their foreheads covered in cold sweat. Yet, they did not give up, gritting their teeth and persevering—if they could just hold on a little longer, all the soul fragments would be able to pass through smoothly.

Just then, Wei Yu's consciousness suddenly became extremely tense. A strong sense of crisis instantly transmitted to Yue Gui's mind. He urgently issued a warning, wanting Yue Gui and Karen to stop immediately: "Danger! Stop! There's danger!" (still a vague meaning)

But it was too late.

Just as Wei Yu issued the warning, an unparalleled counterforce suddenly erupted from that invisible world barrier. A terrifying energy, like a tsunami, burst forth from the barrier and swept over them, crashing violently towards Yue Gui and Karen.

"puff--!"

Before they could react, they were struck hard by the recoil. Their bodies flew backward like kites with broken strings, and a mouthful of blood spurted from their mouths, staining the air in front of them red.

The divine spear in Yue Gui's hand was also struck by the recoil force. A clear crack instantly appeared on the spear shaft, and the golden light quickly dimmed. Wei Yu's consciousness also weakened, conveying a trace of pain—his soul fragment had just left, and he was already weak. This attack made things even worse for him.

"Karen! How are you?" Yue Gui struggled to steady himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Karen with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Karen also struggled to stop his backward flight, his face ashen, his chest heaving, and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He shook his head, his voice weak yet firm: "I'm fine... I'm just exhausted. That recoil was terrifying!"

This recoil was several times stronger than the combined power of the two of them. If it weren't for the trace of the world's origin protecting them, they would have been completely annihilated by this force, their souls scattered.

Before the two could recover, an even stronger suction force came from the edge of the space-time tunnel, pulling their weakened bodies forward again and dragging them rapidly—the recoil from before had not only severely injured them but also derailed them from their original trajectory, sending them flying toward the edge of the space-time tunnel.

Unable to resist, the two could only let the suction pull them along, their bodies rapidly traversing the space-time tunnel. Finally, they were violently thrown out of the space-time tunnel and plummeted towards a world fragment floating at the edge of the space-time tunnel.

That fragment of the world was utterly desolate. As far as the eye could see, there were only broken bricks and tiles, and the ground was covered with cracks. There was no sign of life, and the air was filled with thick dust and a putrid smell, as if it had gone through a devastating battle and was now just a wasteland.

Meanwhile, the soul fragments of those sentinels, taking advantage of the tiny crack that the two had broken open together, quickly slipped into it, successfully passed through the world barrier, and entered the space beyond the barrier.

The moment it passed through the barrier between worlds, a vast and boundless universe appeared before the fragment of the soul—countless galaxies stood tall, like crystal-clear amber, silently suspended in the void. Within each galaxy were countless planets, some teeming with life, some desolate and lifeless, and some filled with unknown dangers.

The fragment of the soul did not linger, but swiftly traversed this vast universe, flying rapidly towards a planet that radiated a faint sign of life—the place it sensed as its destiny, and the place it desperately wanted to reach.

Yue Gui and Karen, who had been thrown out of the space-time tunnel, were falling rapidly toward the desolate continent of broken bricks and tiles. Their bodies were weak, their breathing was disordered, and they didn't even have the strength to lift their hands. They could only let gravity pull them down into this ruin, their fate unknown.
