Chapter 1808 A Fleeting Year, The Best Opportunity
The void world.
On a huge rock by the coast, a stunningly beautiful woman sat with her hands supporting her chin on her knees, gazing absently at the distant, undulating waves.
Her eyes were filled with longing and worry, which made her seem somewhat contradictory.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and she disappeared from the reef in a flash.
When it reappeared, it was above the sea of clouds in mid-air.
Here, she saw a familiar figure.
It was Mo Fan!
"Brother Mo Fan, why are you back so soon?"
"Are you missing Qing'er?"
Qing'er looked at Mo Fan with a mixture of surprise and delight.
"Uh...yes, I miss you, Qing'er..."
Seeing Qing'er suddenly appear in front of him, Mo Fan couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment, and the words he uttered were not what he truly meant.
He didn't miss Qing'er at all; he clearly came here to seek refuge.
Not long ago, he received a warning from Grandpa Qian that a terrifying blood beast beyond the Great Saint Realm had detected Grandpa Qian's senses.
So, at the first opportunity, he quietly fled under Grandpa Qian's instructions.
Sure enough, Mo Fan soon heard a deafening roar from the depths of the crimson world, followed by endless roars, and then the entire earth trembled. A terrifying aura came from afar, which frightened Mo Fan quite a bit.
Only through his senses did Grandpa Qian realize that the blood beasts had rioted once again!
Left with no other choice, Mo Fan fled into a nest of corpse worms to escape this calamity.
In order to completely conceal his aura, he directly entered the Void Pearl.
And so, this scene unfolded before our eyes.
"Pfft... Brother, do you not even blink when you lie?"
Suddenly, Qing'er laughed. Seeing Mo Fan's embarrassed expression, she asked again, "Brother, did you encounter any danger outside?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan could only nod with a wry smile, then chuckled and said, "It's not exactly dangerous, just a bit troublesome. I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for quite some time to come."
"Brother, if needed, Qing'er can also help you fight!"
"Qing'er is no weaker than her brother now!"
Qing'er waved her fist at Mo Fan and spoke earnestly.
"Of course I know, but there's really no need. If I ever need your help, I won't hesitate to ask."
Mo Fan was touched by Qing'er's words and couldn't help but pat the girl's head, though he felt a little uncertain.
He knew very well that hiding like this was not a solution. He might be able to keep it from ordinary Great Saint-level blood beasts, but it was hard to say what would happen to blood beasts that surpassed the Great Saint level.
Given enough time, it's hard to guarantee that their tracks won't be exposed.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die, but there's no better way right now, so we can only wait quietly."
Mo Fan sighed inwardly.
Next, he stayed with Qing'er in the Void World, while also thinking about how to break the deadlock. Every now and then, he would have Grandpa Qian carefully sense the movements of the Crimson Space.
Another century has passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the course of a century, Mo Fan devised a plan: to comprehend the laws of time.
If he could comprehend the laws of time, he would be virtually invincible.
After all, the law of time is one of the fundamental laws of the world. When cause and effect are not established, time reigns supreme. Mo Fan believed that as long as he could comprehend the law of time, he would be able to reverse all of this.
However, for a hundred years, apart from occasionally spending time with Qing'er, Mo Fan had been struggling to comprehend the power of time, but ultimately failed to grasp the laws of time.
"The laws of this realm are flawed. I can't even comprehend 90% of the essence of time. It's still not enough..."
Mo Fan smiled bitterly, ultimately giving up on the idea of comprehending the power of time.
"Young man, don't be discouraged. The power of time is inherently ethereal and even more difficult to comprehend than other laws. Not to mention that it has only been a mere hundred years, the laws of this Void World are incomplete, which is inherently unfavorable for comprehending the laws."
"As long as you return to the Nine Provinces, I believe there will still be a chance."
Grandpa Qian's voice echoed in Mo Fan's mind, encouraging him, and he chuckled, "And this time, I, the Immortal Venerable, have brought you some good news!"
"What good news?"
Mo Fan's heart stirred slightly, and he asked in return, "Could it be that the commotion outside has finally subsided?"
"No, I discovered that there are actually two corpse worms among them that have surpassed the Great Saint Realm!"
"What!?"
Mo Fan was shocked upon hearing this, and then said in a depressed tone, "What kind of good news is this?"
He was already terrified by a blood beast that surpassed the Great Saint Realm, let alone the two equally terrifying corpse worms that appeared.
"Of course it's good news. Can you guess why corpse worms are called corpse worms, and what they eat?" Grandpa Qian sneered.
“I remember you said before that these corpse worms feed on the flesh and blood of corpses…”
As Mo Fan spoke, he immediately understood and guessed, "You mean, those two corpse worms might be coveting that heart?"
"That's right, it's not just drooling, it's definitely wanting to eat that heart!"
Grandpa Qian chuckled and said, "Do you remember when I was sensing something, there was that blood beast guarding the altar?"
Therefore, this immortal venerable one suspects that the blood beast is guarding the heart rather than the altar!
Although that heart had lost much of its vitality, its essence had not been completely extinguished; I suspect it belonged to that god or demon!
"Are you suggesting I incite a conflict between these monsters?"
Mo Fan seemed to be deep in thought, and then frowned and said, "That's not right! Could it be that the heart doesn't belong to the Devouring Demon Clan?"
I have a very strong feeling that there is something there with an aura similar to the Devouring Heaven Palm Bone!
"I don't know the answer to that, Immortal Venerable. Perhaps we'll find out the reason when we get closer," said Grandpa Qian with some helplessness. But then he changed the subject: "However, we may not need to risk provoking a fight between these monsters, because I've discovered that there is already a great deal of conflict between them."
"How so?" Mo Fan asked.
"Just now, this Immortal Venerable discovered that all the corpse worms in the three corpse worm nests within a ten-mile radius have inexplicably swarmed out, heading straight for the altar!"
"That's why I, the Immortal Venerable, say this is good news, and it's also an opportunity for us!"
"Is this happening?"
"Could it be that the corpse worms want to attack the altar and devour the heart?" Mo Fan was utterly shocked.
"This immortal venerable one suspects that these corpse worms originally attacked the altar once at a specific time, which is why the blood beast has been guarding the altar all this time, in order to prevent the corpse worms from attacking!"
"So, this might be our best chance?!"
