My gorgeous wife Chapter 2344 - 2312: The Coming of the Unknown Era

After observing for quite a while, the woman in green didn’t notice anything unusual. Eventually, she could only reluctantly withdraw her gaze and divine sense, shake her head, and vanish into thin air.

The sun set and the moon waned; Li Chen, half black and half white, lay on the desolate prairie like a corpse, for nearly half a year.

Over the half year, Li Chen did not awaken. Although during this time, his eyelids often struggled to open, he ultimately couldn’t wake up.

However, after six months, Li Chen no longer seemed like a breathless corpse, as he did when he first entered the Jianmu Universe.

Life began to gradually surround him.

Unknowingly, the white hair on his head became slightly more than the black hair.

After half a year, someone finally passed through this forgotten primitive prairie.

Not just someone, but a large flock of sheep, confused and aimless.

Among the cattle and sheep, a girl was shouting and driving the sheep along.

Undoubtedly, this was an ordinary shepherd girl.

As she herded the sheep, she suddenly noticed the person lying on the grass and couldn’t help but be stunned. She quickly stopped the flock.

More accurately, she saw not a person lying on the grass but a person lying ’in’ the grass.

For, after six months of wind and rain, Li Chen’s body was covered with weeds, and soon he might have merged with the land.

By that time, even the shepherd girl would have no way to discover Li Chen’s presence.

At first glance at such a ’person,’ the girl was startled, thinking she had inadvertently come across a corpse on the prairie.

But as she approached, she saw this ’corpse’s’ chest was slightly rising and falling.

"Alive?"

The girl was stunned again, looking quite dumbfounded.

If this were anywhere else on the continent, such an unknown person lying outside would at most be thought to be a body abandoned in the wild. People wouldn’t even glance at it, let alone approach it.

But on the prairie, most herdsmen are simple and honest. The girl, growing up in such an environment, couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with sympathy when she saw this ’person.’

"He is truly pitiful. Who knows how long he’s been lying here, with no one to help, and even grass growing on him." Thinking of this person’s miserable situation, the innocent girl couldn’t help but have tears well up in her eyes out of sympathy.

"I want to help him!"

The girl quickly made her decision.

She laboriously moved the person from the soil and weeds and then tied a few sheep together, arduously placing the stranger onto the sheep’s back.

"Let’s go home!"

With the stranger in tow, she drove her flock of sheep and gradually left.

The sunset’s glow shone on the girl, casting an inexplicable radiance upon her.

Countless years later, all beings of the Jianmu Universe regarded this seemingly ordinary and simple encounter as the most glorious and fortunate meeting in the universe’s history.

Even those ancient beings who were fortunate enough to live to the brink of death couldn’t help but sigh, "Thankfully, thankfully our Jianmu Universe still has such a kind child."

...

Outside the starry universe.

From afar, it appeared as an immense cosmic space, too vast to see its entirety.

No matter the distance, viewing such an existence filled your entire sight.

Apart from this, nothing else was visible.

Of course, that’s granted your eyes could see through the vast nihility of "No" to gaze at the starry universe directly.

This was the starry universe, an incredibly vast, nearly boundless colossal universe.

If you diverted your gaze from this gigantic celestial body, you would see a few ’miniature celestial bodies’ nearby.

Of course, ’miniature’ is relative to the starry universe, and ’nearby’ is only in relation to the starry universe’s size.

In fact, these ’miniature celestial bodies’ were also universes.

They were merely minor universes.

At this moment, in some places, there were clear signs of battle; amidst the vast nihility, there were remnants and fragments.

These remnants originally belonged to a universe.

And such a thing as a universe is the only thing the vast nihility wouldn’t ’negate.’

Hence, it’s inferred that a universe once existed here.

However, it no longer exists.

Nearby the remnants, several formidable entities exuding terrifying auras wore solemn expressions, discussing a recent event.

Compared to the ages they’ve experienced, tens of millions of years were indeed ’recent.’

Recently, something occurred here that shocked all minor universe beings around.

A universe was destroyed.

Even though it was just a minor universe, a creation of a founding realm powerhouse, without the protection of its creator.

But... it was still a universe!

Yet, this universe was obliterated just like that.

Along with it, most of the beings within that universe perished.

"What... exactly happened? Who was that black-robed guy? How could he be so powerful?" asked a Dao Saint, full of disbelief.

"If it were my ancestor, he could also destroy a universe lacking a founding realm powerhouse’s protection. However, according to the Ancestral Holy of Chaotic Thunder, that person wasn’t a founder realm powerhouse. He merely had some strange, powerful force within him, which led to the destruction of all Yu Clan powerhouses and eventually the destruction of the Universe of the Yu Clan," a Dao Saint, shrouded in silver-white, slowly spoke.

Hearing this, another Dao Saint gravely said, "In any case, there’s no doubt that this person is from the starry universe. Since such a powerful figure appeared in the starry universe, we should be cautious. Everyone remembers how vicious the Supreme of the Starry Sky was."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Supreme of the Starry Sky from back then was a monstrous entity who perished together with the five great founder realm experts whom all era-ancient civilizations combined with great effort.

Moreover, even after slaying five founder realm experts, the Supreme didn’t die!

After returning to the starry universe, the Supreme only fell due to sealing the world-destroying beast, exhausting all vital energy and spirit.

Such a terrifying powerhouse, even they couldn’t face a second one.

Now, the era-ancient civilizations can’t even gather five founder realm experts combined.

"Withdraw all personnel from the starry universe."

In conclusion, a Dao Saint from the mechanical civilization decided, "According to the highest computational core of my race, it seems a specific factor influences the premature awakening of the world-destroying beast. The starry universe only has 240 million years left in this final era."

"In these last two hundred million-plus years, we need to prepare for war with all our strength and try to cultivate more palm realm experts."

"Only by winning that final battle can we gather enough resources from the starry universe to survive this era’s... long winter."

The Dao Saints exchanged a determined look.

To the starry universe, they were incomprehensible robbers, invaders.

But to themselves, they merely wished... to survive.
