My gorgeous wife Chapter 2507: I Will Protect Everything of Yours

“Running quite fast, indeed.”

The middle-aged man slowly approached, his entire being blending seamlessly with the cosmos around him, making it appear as if he was walking through the vast nihility.

Yet it could be judged clearly that this man was not simply standing in the vast nihility. The nihility was a boundless expanse devoid of light or darkness, but even standing there, the man’s presence was unmistakable.

“He truly does run fast.” Watching Liii Miao rapidly vanish into the distance, Lin Yi commented disdainfully, “Even if he’s in the Founding Realm, I don’t take him seriously.”

Tai Chu paused briefly, then chuckled, “Saint Yilin has great courage.”

No matter what, there is an absolute gap between the Founding Realm and the Palm Source Realm. Even if a Peak Dao Saint has mastered the strongest path, it is rare they would stand a chance against even the weakest path of a Origin Realm Powerhouse. Achieving even a draw remains nearly impossible.

Yet despite witnessing Liii Miao’s methods, Lin Yi still held such disdain, revealing that Lin Yi indeed has considerable cards held that make her unafraid of Liii Miao.

Moreover, Tai Chu felt that, even if he were not present, this brilliant woman might have had other ways to rescue others.

“Mom, who is this person?” Nearby, Li Haoheng furrowed his brows slightly.

He felt a natural wariness toward the origins of this unknown man.

In the current Starry Universe, indeed, they couldn’t withstand much turmoil. The Era-Ancient Civilization was a threat, but the greater threat was the impending awakening of the World-Destroying Beast.

And now, the World-Destroying Beast seemed truly close to awakening, for lately, even the figures of the Doomsday Beast Soul were scarcely seen.

Those Doomsday Beast Souls seemed to be waiting.

What they were waiting for was clear to all cultivators of the Starry Universe.

Simply waiting for the true awakening of the World-Destroying Beast.

From the mouths of the Era-Ancient Civilization, it wasn’t hard to grasp: the World-Destroying Beast was more than a monster large enough to consume the cosmos; it was the true executor of cosmic will.

No matter how strong they were, they cannot contend with such an existence.

For cultivators, no matter their strength, cannot contend with a Great Universe.

And this Great Universe is the source of all their power.

“This is Senior Tai Chu, from the Tree Realm Universe beyond the Starry Universe.” Lin Yi softly expressed, “It was from Senior Tai Chu’s mouth that I learned that our Starry Universe is but a mere corner in this endless nihility. And the corner within which our Starry Universe exists is called… the Cosmic Ruins.”

“Cosmic Ruins?” Li Haoheng’s heart trembled.

“Our universe is situated in ruins?!”

“Young one, you’ve misunderstood.” Tai Chu smiled, waving a hand, “The term ‘Cosmic Ruins’ is merely a name. In truth, where your Starry Universe resides, though now called Cosmic Ruins, was once extraordinarily illustrious, a thousand times more prosperous than where we currently are. At that time, it was called… the Sea of Realms!”

“During that era, aside from hundreds and thousands of large and small universes, there were countless powers established in the vast nihility, like the Void God Temple and Secret Realm Inheritance…” Tai Chu’s eyes gleamed with yearning, “Sadly, I didn’t have the fortune to witness that era; only our Prime Ancestor had the experience of such a magnificent age.”

“Prime Ancestor?” Lin Yi turned to Tai Chu.

“The Prime Ancestor is indeed one of the true founders of our Tree Realm Universe, and our Tree Realm Universe’s true Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits.” Tai Chu’s eyes showed respect and then dimmed, “The final order from the Prime Ancestor was for me to come to the Starry Universe to find you, Yilin Dao Friend.”

Li Haoheng furrowed his brows, “Senior, could I inquire, the reason such a figure of the Prime Ancestor sends you to the Starry Universe to seek my mother, what matter is it exactly?”

“No need for concern, little Dao friend.” Tai Chu shook his head gently, “It is not anything that would trouble you; it’s just before his dissipation, the Prime Ancestor once told me that your mother might play an exceptionally important role in a future war that may engulf all present universes.”

“Exceptionally important role?” Li Haoheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief and then remarked to Lin Yi, “Mom, it seems even the powerhouses from other universes recognize your wisdom.”

“Little brat, shut your mouth!” Lin Yi’s eyes widened, covertly transmitting, “You sneaked away this time and I haven’t yet settled with you! I’ll deal with you when we’re back!”

Li Haoheng blinked innocently twice, then promptly fainted.

Lin Yi was instantly amused, though this guy had matured considerably; in her eyes, he was still that mischievous little demon lord who often gave the elders a headache.

“Yilin Dao Friend, have you considered?” Tai Chu swiftly asked again.

Though not long in the Starry Universe, he quickly discerned its tense atmosphere.

Though aware it was awkward to ask, due to the Prime Ancestor’s wish, he had to express it.

Lin Yi fell silent for a moment and then spoke, “Senior Tai Chu, your request, it’s not that I refuse, but right now, I cannot agree.”

“I presume you’ve seen the current state of the Starry Universe, I can promise your request, Senior Tai Chu, but I also hope you can agree to a few conditions of mine.” Lin Yi stated earnestly.

“Speak freely, Yilin Dao Friend.” Tai Chu’s expression grew serious.

Thoughtful for a moment, Lin Yi started, “First, before the war in the Starry Universe concludes, I cannot leave with you. I’ve mentioned before, our Starry Universe is facing the Era’s Calamity; what we are about to face is the Starry Universe’s Era’s Calamity, and we must attempt to overcome it, regardless of success.”

“Second, you saw that person earlier; those are the races and civilizations of the Era’s Calamity failures, surviving by clinging onto a Minor Universe in the Founding Realm.” Lin Yi said.

“According to my intelligence, the Era-Ancient Civilization had five people slain by our Starry Universe’s Origin Realm Powerhouse in eras past, remaining but two or three, and mostly weak in strength. I wish Senior Tai Chu to hold them off when our Starry Universe faces the Era’s Calamity.”

“I don’t wish you to fight desperately, just do your best, and I’ll strive to assist your matters in the future!”

Tai Chu gazed complexly at this exceptionally brilliant woman, “Yilin Dao Friend, for such meticulous effort, is it worth it?”

“For my homeland, for what my husband wished to protect, it is worth it.” Lin Yi smiled, her beautiful face revealing a determination that even Tai Chu found startling.

Lin Yi quietly mused to herself, “Since you are not here, as your wife, all of yours shall be guarded by me.”
