Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 1351 Kali’s great achievement

Following his farewell to Shangguan Xinyue and Bai Shilin, Bai Zemin wandered solitary through the expansive hallways of the palace.

The palace's scale was outrageously vast, potentially requiring a regular human up to four hours to traverse from the eastern section to the western. As he moved alone along those extended passages where profound silence dominated, with merely the reverberations of his footsteps bouncing off the walls, Bai Zemin couldn't avoid sensing himself as the planet's final survivor.

A ceaseless stream of reflections surged through his mind without respite, especially regarding his exchange with Lilith from the previous evening, along with the declarations from the Flame of Burning Wrath.

Considering the Flame of Burning Wrath, Bai Zemin inevitably allowed his musings to drift back toward Kali.

That young woman represented an enigma comparable to his own, or perhaps surpassing it, since nobody held any knowledge about her background. A dense veil of secrecy enveloped everything concerning her, impenetrable to all.

Reaching a massive window spanning from floor to ceiling, Bai Zemin halted and gazed outward at the external landscape in quiet contemplation for an extended period.

From the elevated palace atop the hill, the panorama was genuinely stunning, and with the white clouds drifting amid the transformed Hero City, it presented a scene of true splendor hard to fathom as originating from mortal hands. In his view, this was a metropolis befitting a deity, far beyond the grasp of a mere minor sovereign.

For reasons unclear, the visage of a certain man surfaced in his thoughts, prompting a complex look in his gaze: "He probably must have felt very lonely during all this time uh..."

Abruptly, a detached voice emerged from a short distance behind him.

"Who is this 'he' you're talking about?"

Bai Zemin jolted initially but quickly regained composure. He hadn't detected the approach of the visitor, yet it wasn't overly shocking given the identity of this individual.

He pivoted with a faint grin and inclined his head toward the golden-haired stunner advancing toward him merely 15 meters distant, "I felt your presence last night around but couldn’t find you. I thought you walked away."

Evangeline wore a dark scarf masking the lower half of her face, yet her green eyes retained the chill and detachment Bai Zemin recalled. These days, though, that striking duo of eyes appeared somewhat more alive, with occasional flickers of feeling sparkling within their depths.

She offered no reply to his statement, so they regarded one another quietly for several seconds until Evangeline at last shattered the quiet.

"Congratulations on your marriage. I wish you an eternity of prosperity and happiness."

"Thank you." Bai Zemin nodded bearing the prior smile. He detected genuine warmth in her utterance.

Following a brief interval, Evangeline extended a hand into her rear pocket and extracted an item before flinging it his way.

Bai Zemin seized it swiftly and, upon nearer examination, identified it as a stone roughly the size of a palm. The stone gleamed in pure obsidian hue and resembled a commonplace pebble apart from the immense magical energy swirling within.

"This is..." A spark of astonishment lit his eyes as he examined the stone.

The volume of magical energy within that stone sufficed to shatter a sizable continent into myriad fragments upon explosion. Indeed, should that stone be obliterated in a Lower World prior to its third evolutionary phase, such a realm faced an 80% likelihood of vanishing eternally.

"I’ll take your advice and go visit other worlds. It’s hard to level up here on Earth now that peace reigns under your control... Just break the stone if you need me for anything. I’ll be there in an instant no matter where or when."

Bai Zemin lifted his gaze upon hearing those words, but when he peered forward, he saw that the figure had vanished.

After a stretch of quiet, he abruptly shouted aloud, "If you want to level up fast then stay close! I’ll do something big soon!"

"Got it."

Following that, no further stir occurred, and Bai Zemin felt certain Evangeline had departed.

A bittersweet grin, blending mild sorrow and joy, formed on his countenance. He rejoiced that a valuable ally had returned rather than departed, yet he grieved for that admirable young lady so harshly maltreated by fate, who never truly lived for herself and ultimately met her demise defending the one she strived hardest to safeguard—even if it demanded bartering herself and her kin to malevolence of her own volition.

This existence proved truly merciless...

Countless conflicts, endless demise...

So numerous virtuous souls enduring torment and households ripped apart...

Unbeknownst to himself, Bai Zemin discovered his fists gripped with such ferocity that the surrounding space warped akin to crumpled parchment, folding repeatedly on the brink of shredding.

"Whew..." He exhaled the turbulent breath he'd held and gradually, his eyes—which had been reddening and intensifying—faded back to normal.

"Time to roll on."

He had already forfeited six months while comatose, thus he needed to accelerate if he hoped for even a minimal prospect of triumph in a year and a half when the Golden Domain launched its full assault.

He already harbored a grand scheme in his thoughts.

A scheme fraught with peril yet extraordinarily rewarding simultaneously.

A scheme he was compelled to execute despite lacking full assurance of extracting his followers unscathed... for time was scarce.

Suddenly, Bai Zemin’s urgent communication token illuminated. His face shifted sharply, as only a select few possessed such tokens due to their exorbitant crafting cost, even partially bridging world barriers.

Observing the glow from the seal, Bai Zemin’s demeanor altered further as he identified that hue as the unique marker from the seal held solely by Kali.

…

"So... You sent an emergency signal to give me some information?"

Bai Zemin regarded the porcelain-skinned girl in the wheelchair, who appeared far younger than her true years, with a disbelieving look.

Kali "gazed" at him with an inscrutable visage, and following several seconds of hush, she spoke in a neutral tone, "Wasn’t it you who said that this place is of utmost importance, even on the level of the portals to travel between worlds?"

"I..." Bai Zemin wished to argue that although this location held great significance, it didn't justify employing that token merely for sharing details.

He shot a stern glance at Cai Jingyi and Nangong Lingxin, serving as the girl's guardians, with a look conveying why they hadn't intervened.

Cai Jingyi averted her gaze and commenced whistling noticeably while clasping her hands behind, "The sun sure is hot today don’t you think?"

Nangong Lingxin nearly erupted in laughter.

How could sunlight exist here? They were buried countless meters below ground!

Bai Zemin rolled his eyes but ceased faulting them.

He had genuinely panicked and fretted upon receiving Kali's alert, prompting him to invoke his Emperor title's ability for instant teleportation to any Earth locale as the supreme sovereign. His own level of alarm regarding her caught even him off guard.

It struck him then that, since his discourse with the Flame of Burning Wrath the prior night, Kali's significance in his heart had swelled beyond his realization.

"Forget it." He shook his head and sighed, "It’s a good thing nothing bad happened."

Kali watched him wordlessly for an extended duration before murmuring softly, "I’m sorry..."

"Em?" Bai Zemin stared at her in bewilderment, and even Cai Jingyi along with Nangong Lingxin regarded her curiously.

This marked the inaugural instance where remorse permeated Kali's voice, typically indifferent to an extreme degree.

"I apologize for worrying you but it’s really urgent." Kali seemed to grasp his concern for her, stirring her emotions, though as one who rarely displayed feelings, she swiftly indicated a specific spot and resumed her flat tone, "I was able to decode that."

"What?"

Bai Zemin’s face transitioned from astonishment to outright disbelief.

He examined the area Kali indicated and struggled to accept her revelation. Nonetheless, exhilaration began surging in his eyes.

Why? Because their current position lay within the archaic runes under the Five Silver Pagodas; the site where Bai Zemin unearthed primordial technology and sorcery at the apocalypse's dawn; the location of his encounter with Kang Guiying's lingering soul, forging a brotherhood after mere dual clashes; the discovery site of the Sky Destroyer; the meeting place with Ant Queen Shi Lin yielding the egg birthing Bai Shilin!

The spot Kali had indicated was none other than the golden magic circle Bai Zemin had scarcely approached, much less contacted!
