Chapter 718

Kunlun Continent, East Wilderness, Binhai Land.

Today, two figures came from overseas on the waves. The moment they arrived on land, they stopped.

They were Gu Chen and Zuo Chunqiu. Looking at the familiar homeland, Gu Chen felt even more homesick.

Three years, he had been away for three whole years!

Back then, Gu Chen bid farewell to his family and friends to extend his lifespan and repair his Tyrant Bones.

Now that three years had passed, he had become an immortal. Returning home was supposed to be a joyous thing, but now he was very nervous.

He was not there when the Ancient Planet Cang Huang was in a precarious situation. After a year, he did not know how much had changed in Kunlun Continent.

Zuo Chunqiu noticed that Gu Chen's mood changed the moment he came ashore.

He did not say anything and looked around. "The scenery is not bad. This is the place where my Tiandao Sect ancestor fought for. I have wanted to come here for a long time."

"Speaking of which, where should we go next?"

Zuo Chunqiu asked. He did not believe Gu Chen said that there was a treasure on Kunlun Continent that could affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

Back then, the Heavenly Dao of Kunlun Continent was changed by his Tiandao Sect ancestor, making it difficult for experts to surpass the Celestial Being Stage to appear.

After being isolated for 85,555 years, he felt that there was nothing in Kunlun Continent that could catch his attention.

Of course, Gu Chen was an exception.

"To the Celestial Court."

Gu Chen took a deep breath and flew straight to the nearest Celestial Court Mystic Realm.

"Celestial Court? What a domineering name. "Zuo Chunqiu was amazed. This should be the faction that Gu Chen established in Kunlun Continent.

The two flew quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of the Celestial Court Mystic Realm.

Everything was the same as before. Gu Chen opened the Heavenly Gate and stepped into the Mystic Realm.

As soon as he entered the Mystic Realm, his expression changed!

White Jade Plaza, Merit Market, Information Pool, Falling Jade Pavilion … there was no one!

He suddenly raised his head. The illusory image of the Nine-Tiered Heavens that should have existed in the sky had also disappeared!

"Why is there no one here? This place is covered in dust. I'm afraid no one has been here for more than half a year, "Zuo Chunqiu analyzed as he looked around.

Gu Chen's gaze became gloomy. He turned around and walked out of the Divine Gate. "Go!"

"Aren't you going to look around?" Zuo Chunqiu was surprised. They had just entered the mystic realm, and now they were going to leave again.

"There's nothing here."

Gu Chen's voice was very cold. Zuo Chunqiu rationally realized that he was in a bad mood at the moment. He didn't dare to provoke him, so he followed behind him and left.

As soon as he left the secret realm of the Celestial Court, Gu Chen suddenly sped up and flew over thousands of mountains and rivers. Zuo Chunqiu almost couldn't keep up.

Gu Chen passed by many prefectures in the Eastern Wilderness and soon arrived at his hometown, the Feng Lin Manor.

Although Gu Chen's Feng Lin Manor wasn't as prosperous as Middle-Earth's, there were still many mountain cities within it. However, wherever Gu Chen passed by, many of the mountain cities were empty. Occasionally, he would be able to see the bones of the dead in the cities.

He arrived at Tiannan City, the place where he was born. This place was also empty!

He didn't know where all the mortals in the city had gone, causing this place to become a ghost city!

His expression turned increasingly gloomy. He flew up again and headed straight for the Forbidden Forest, heading toward the Ghost Ruins!

The Nine-Tiered Heavens had disappeared, and there wasn't a single person in the secret realm of the Celestial Court.

Many of the mountain cities in the Eastern Wilderness had become ghost cities. All of this caused Gu Chen to feel very uneasy.

He urgently needed to know what had happened in the past year, and the Ghost Emperor in the Ghost Ruins was clearly the person who could answer his question the best.

When he left back then, the Ghost Emperor was the strongest expert in the Kunlun Continent apart from him. Even though the Celestial Court had been destroyed, Gu Chen believed that the Ghost Emperor was still alive!

The Forbidden Forest flashed past, and Gu Chen soon arrived at the Ghost Ruins.

The ancient city of the past was still there, but the moment he approached, Gu Chen's sharp senses told him that something was wrong.

This place was no longer eerie. There were actually rabbits and deer playing in the city, and the mottled city walls were filled with flowers.

"Ghost Emperor!"

Gu Chen shouted angrily. His Divine Sense extended crazily into the ground!

The Yellow Spring, which was supposed to be under the Ghost Ruins, had disappeared!

And the Ghost Emperor was nowhere to be seen!

"Even the Ghost Emperor is gone?"

Gu Chen murmured in disbelief.

The Ghost Emperor, who had lived for 85,555 years, had left the Ghost Ruins. It seemed that the Ghost Ruins no longer existed!

Gu Chen's breathing became unstable. He clenched his teeth, went straight through the Ghost Ruins, and stepped into the territory of Baijing Mansion!

Along the way, Baijing Mansion was also empty. He couldn't find a single person. It was as if all the living creatures had disappeared.

When he returned to the Heavenly Star Sect, he saw that the protective Dharma Formation had been destroyed, and the Yunyue Restaurant at the top of Yunwu Mountain had collapsed!

Huang Pingzhang was not there, Yuchi Zhong was not there, the seven women and Lu Yichen were also nowhere to be seen!

Gu Chen stood in front of the collapsed Yunyue Restaurant and remained silent for a long time.

"Is everything over? Am I too late?"

After a long time, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He had already guessed that the Primordial Spirit Continent was at a disadvantage against the extraterrestrial forces, let alone the weaker Kunlun Continent.

He had always hoped that his old friends were safe. But now, even the old Ghost Emperor was gone, which made him very anxious.

"Not being here doesn't mean they are dead. There are not many corpses along the way. Don't jump to conclusions so easily."

Zuo Chunqiu had never seen Gu Chen so emotional, so he tried to comfort him.

His words reminded Gu Chen. Gu Chen looked around.

As the saying goes, concern makes one confused. Since he didn't see any old friends along the way, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

However, if he observed carefully, he would find that although many places in the Heavenly Star Sect were destroyed, there were not many corpses left.

It was the same for many mountain cities in East Wilderness. Instead of saying that the people were all dead, it was more like they had all disappeared!

"Earlier, there was a rumor that a group of so-called gods came to the Kunlun Continent, related to the gods that descended 85,555 years ago. They seemed to have taken a group of cultivators from this continent with them. So, your friends might not be dead. They just took them away."

Zuo Chunqiu guessed.

"They can't possibly take so many people away, right?"

Gu Chen frowned. Putting aside the cultivators, even the mountain cities in East Wilderness had lost a large number of mortals. What was the use of a large number of mortals to the gods?

"Think about where else can they go. I don't believe that there is no one left in this vast Kunlun Continent. As far as I know, many extraterrestrial forces have set their headquarters here, "Zuo Chunqiu said.

Gu Chen fell into deep thought. Currently, the closest places to Baijing Prefecture were Middle-Earth and Nanling Province.

There were billions of people in Middle-Earth Nine Prefectures. They couldn't be as desolate as East Wilderness, right?

At the thought of this, Gu Chen soared into the sky and entered Serene Province, which was connected to Baijing Prefecture.

When he passed by the border of Youzhou, his figure paused. The infamous Desolate God Valley had actually disappeared without a trace!
