Coordinates

"Found me? What does that mean?" Ye Chuan frowned, seemingly a bit confused.

But the next moment, the system panel slowly emerged—

On the screen, the Ten Thousand Worlds Landlord APP opened automatically.

A line of scarlet prompt popped up.

[Warning!]

[Illegal anchor detected in the real world.]

[Anchor location: Isolated Island Tower.]

[Detected that tenant Bai Qianshuang and associate Luo Xi are making contact with a high-risk pollution source.]

[Echoes of the Old Immortal Realm detected.]

[Outer God coordinates detected.]

[Unknown authority is attempting to locate your plane!]

[Return immediately?]

Ye Chuan looked at the screen and frowned.

Qianshuang... Luo Xi?

Who dares to touch my Xi Xi and Qianshuang?!

...

Real world, Isolated Island Tower.

The battle on the twenty-first floor had been going on for a long time.

Bai Qianshuang slashed down with her sword, the sword light like snow, forcibly splitting an Ascension Realm monster in half from the middle.

But the monster's split body did not die immediately. Instead, dozens of grayish-white tentacles extended from the severed ends, as if both halves of the body had grown new consciousnesses, screaming as they lunged at her.

Luo Xi raised her hand, and ice-blue cold air rose from the ground, freezing the two halves of the body in mid-air.

But the ice only lasted for a breath.

Grayish-white pollution drilled out of the monster's body, unexpectedly eroding backward along the patterns of the ice. On the originally crystal-clear ice layer, tiny eyeballs grew out, staring densely at Luo Xi.

Luo Xi's expression changed slightly, and the Emperor Seal on her forehead suddenly lit up.

Boom!

The ice exploded from the inside out, shattering those eyeballs into powder along with it.

She landed beside Bai Qianshuang, her breathing noticeably more rapid than before.

"These things are different from the ones before." Luo Xi stared at the monster's corpse on the ground, which was gradually melting into a puddle of gray water.

"They are not pure monsters. There is something else inside them."

"It's pollution." Bai Qianshuang took a deep breath. The residual memories in her Emperor Seal contained the existence of these things, and—

"It's very similar to the Outer Gods Ye Chuan mentioned before."

"Outer Gods?"

Luo Xi looked around. "It seems that is indeed the case."

The space on the twenty-first floor was several times larger than the twentieth floor, and the tower walls were completely covered in ancient runes.

Those runes were initially just dark gold, but as they continuously slaughtered monsters, grayish-white light began to seep from deep within the runes.

Those grayish-white lights gathered into thin threads, all pointing towards the top of the tower.

It was as if this tower was confirming their auras through the battle.

Or rather, confirming the auras of the people around Ye Chuan.

This tower is a coordinate!

The Emperor Seal on Bai Qianshuang's forehead suddenly stung. Her vision blurred for a moment, and countless indistinct voices rang in her ears.

"Hold the door..."

"We can't let them pass..."

"Immortal Realm..."

"The last spark..."

Bai Qianshuang abruptly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her palms were covered in cold sweat.

Luo Xi noticed something was wrong with her and asked softly, "Did you remember something again?"

"Yeah, a little..." Bai Qianshuang nodded but did not explain immediately.

She recalled a very blurry scene.

The stars in the sky shattered, and an indescribably massive shadow reached over from beyond the heavens. Countless immortals fell like rain.

She stood before a dilapidated palace gate, the sword in her hand broken in half. Beside her was a woman whose face she couldn't see clearly.

That woman also had an Emperor Seal on her forehead.

Behind them was a door that was closing.

A man stood in front of the door.

The man didn't look back; he merely raised his hand and sent everyone out, tearing apart this space.

He said, "Go."

Bai Qianshuang couldn't clearly understand the meaning of those words.

But she remembered that back.

That was Ye Chuan.

After hearing her description, Luo Xi's expression also became complex.

"I've also seen a similar scene," Luo Xi said softly.

"Only what I saw was him plunging a black sword into the center of the Immortal Realm, and then the entire Immortal Realm shattered like a mirror."

"Many people were cursing him, and many were begging him to stop, but he didn't stop."

Bai Qianshuang fell silent.

"Yeah." Luo Xi nodded. "Although I don't know why, I feel the same way."

The two exchanged a glance and did not continue speaking.

Now was not the time to investigate past life memories.

The twenty-first floor hadn't been fully cleared yet, but the door leading to the twenty-second floor had already opened on its own.

There was only a quiet darkness.

That darkness was too quiet, so quiet that it made people uncomfortable.

Luo Xi raised her hand and condensed a piece of ice crystal. The ice crystal flew through the door, but lost contact the moment it submerged into the darkness.

Luo Xi frowned. "There's something inside."

Bai Qianshuang didn't hesitate. Holding her spirit sword horizontally in front of her, she said lightly, "I'll do it—"

Sword intent rose from her body.

A slash of the sword!

Then, a voice sounded from deep within the darkness.

"Found... you..."

Luo Xi and Bai Qianshuang looked up at the same time.

That voice didn't come from behind the door.

The ancient runes on the tower walls lit up simultaneously. The dark gold patterns were gradually covered by grayish-white light, as if something was crawling out along these runes.

The darkness inside the door of the twenty-second floor slowly churned. The sword light that Bai Qianshuang had slashed out unexpectedly did not dissipate; instead, it was caught by an invisible hand deep in the darkness, and then snapped with a crack.

The sword light shattered.

The fragments didn't fall to the ground, but hovered in front of the door, turning into tiny grayish-white eyeballs.

"This is..." Luo Xi raised her hand and made a gripping motion. Ice-blue cold air instantly spread out, freezing all those eyeballs.

But just as she was about to detonate the ice crystals, a slender finger reached out from the darkness inside the door and gently tapped the surface of the ice.

A bloody gash split open on Luo Xi's fingertip!

Her pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately took a half-step back. The light of the Emperor Seal on her forehead surged, forcefully suppressing the grayish-white aura that had drilled into her body through the wound.

"It touched me without any contact?"

Bai Qianshuang's expression turned cold.

She didn't speak, but merely took a step forward. She raised her longsword horizontally, and snow-white sword intent rose from beneath her feet.

Inside the door, that voice sounded again.

"Found... you..."

"Door..."

"Open..."

Deep in the darkness, something slowly approached.

What was revealed was a face covered by a film of light.

That face had no features, only a thin grayish-white film of light.

Beneath the film of light, the expressions of different people continuously surfaced: pain, fear, pleading, ecstasy. All the emotions were mixed together, making one's mind swell just by looking at it.

Beneath that layer of light film, Bai Qianshuang saw a familiar yet foreign face.

It wasn't the current Ye Chuan.

But rather the back figure standing in front of the dilapidated palace gate in her memories.

It was mimicking him!

Luo Xi saw it too, and a layer of coldness instantly covered the depths of her eyes.

"Don't use Chuan Chuan's face."

She raised her hand, and the ice-blue Emperor Seal unfolded in front of her. The temperature of the entire space plummeted.

Countless ice crystals condensed from the void, hanging densely around that figure like tiny blades.

The next moment, the ice crystals fell in unison.

Bai Qianshuang thrust her sword at the same time.

One ice, one sword, slashed into the body of that grayish-white figure at almost the exact same moment.

But the attacks passed right through.

The ice crystals submerged into the darkness and lost all sound.

The sword light slashed across the other party's chest, only bringing up a layer of water-like ripples.

The figure stood in place, its edges wavering slightly before returning to normal.

It slowly raised its hand.

Despite there being no fluctuation in the air at all, a spray of blood suddenly exploded from Bai Qianshuang's shoulder.

She let out a muffled groan and stumbled half a step back. A patch of red quickly stained her white clothes, and a grayish-white aura spread from the edges of the wound, acting like tiny roots trying to burrow deep into her Emperor Seal.

Luo Xi's expression changed. "Qianshuang!"

"Don't touch me."
