Chapter 496:
The terrifying dark tide surged, hundreds of meters high. Its roaring sound seemed to bring World to ruin, while within the deep darkness, there appeared to be an indescribable creature howling in anger.
Scarlet Moon remained still, not even closing her eyes, calmly gazing at the breathtaking waves before her.
She let herself be carried away by the tide, but her body remained unmoved in its original position.
Not a single inch was moved.
It was just water.
The Scarlet Moon’s inspiration didn’t sound the alarm, the threat of the tidal wave could be considered so small that it was negligible.
As for the silent warning, the Scarlet Moon certainly remembered it.
So, faced with the current situation, she didn’t utter a sound.
The Scarlet Moon In an unexpected moment, a thousand-meter-high sea water crashed onto her, but it only managed to completely shatter her clothes, unable to inflict any harm upon her fortress-like body resembling a human form.
Bai Yan, standing beside, remained unharmed and stood there calmly.
He didn’t even have a single tear on his clothes. Just now, Bai Yan didn’t rely on his physical body like the Scarlet Moon; instead, he used his power possession, Nightsaber, to instantly disappear into the dimension of darkness.
After the tide receded, it engulfed the two of them in the dark ocean.
The Scarlet Moon returned to her original form and silently reached out for the other person’s hand in the seawater. Without saying a word, they swam towards the deepest part.
It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like just a moment. The two of them had reached the deepest part of the sea, where the water was completely dark, with no light at all.
At that moment, the Scarlet Moon’s intuition began to bubble up with excitement!
She felt that something incredibly powerful was approaching.
That was…
In the darkness, she couldn’t see anything clearly, but she had a sense of the general shape of the enemy.
It was a gigantic monster, hundreds of meters tall, with numerous tentacles. Moreover, a great number of tentacles were surrounding the two of them, holding hands.
"…"
In the Scarlet Moon’s idle hand, crimson flames flickered and danced!
She kindled the deep darkness of the abyss!
The horrifying tentacled monster finally revealed itself, resembling a pitch-black mountain adorned with rows of sharp fangs and menacing mouths. Its black tentacles thrashed wildly, but it dared not approach the blazing crimson flames!
Bai Yan held the Scarlet Moon’s hand tightly, but the flames didn’t harm him in the least.
He just felt warm.
In the next moment, the crimson fire had already forced the monster to retreat, howling in an attempt to escape.
The Scarlet Moon, of course, didn’t want to let the other side go. She always wished to eliminate them completely.
But in the eerie depths of the sea, the boundless waters harbored a mysterious power, greatly weakening the Scarlet Moon’s ability to attack.
Wanting to finish off the opponent like this wasn’t enough.
Without hesitation, she abruptly turned back and bit Bai Yan’s neck.
Blood rushed into her throat.
The crimson flames suddenly swelled, resembling a scarlet giant spear piercing through the darkness. In an instant, it tore apart the boundless deep sea and struck heavily upon the colossal monster’s body!
"Boom!"
The entire ocean split in two, dispersing to both sides. The formidable power of the Scarlet Moon had already surpassed the upper-ranked Apocalypse’s utmost display of strength!
In the blink of an eye, the enormous giant that spanned hundreds of meters crumbled and disintegrated, turning into ashes within the flames, ceasing to exist!
"You’re such a reliable power bank," the Scarlet Moon wanted to speak to Bai Yan like this, but she held back.
That person had just said, "You must not make any sound."
After the seawater dissipated, Bai Yan suddenly spoke, saying, "You were amazing, Scarlet Moon. You did so well… I couldn’t help but fall in love with the you from just a moment ago."
"Now, let’s go back."
However, the Scarlet Moon let go of the hand she was holding and remained silent.
"…"
Bai Yan smiled and said softly,
"You are such an obedient little puppy, Scarlet Moon. Now, you can already speak and make sounds."
Scarlet Moon understood that this was just an imposter.
Where did Profligate go?
So she clenched her fists once again, filled with immense anger.
"Boom!"
The terrifying power of Crimson Blood surged once again, and Bai Yan cried out in agony as he vanished without a trace…
The Scarlet Moon opened her eyes again, only to find that the seawater had receded, and she was still holding hands with that profligate scoundrel.
Was the recent illusion a curse emitted by the monster in its moment of death?
If it starts speaking, then…
The Scarlet Moon stared at the scoundrel before her, feeling a sense of annoyance and discomfort.
Um, this time it was a real profligate!
In fact, as Bai Yan’s spawn, the Scarlet Moon naturally had a strong connection to his soul. She could completely sense the authenticity of her "master." However, this soul connection was like a special form of shackles, so in the perception of the freedom-loving Scarlet Moon, it turned into feelings of annoyance and discomfort.
However, because of this natural soul connection, the Scarlet Moon often wished to see Bai Yan. She would feel restless and very much desired… to absorb him, to touch him, to consume him.
Bai Yan simply smiled and made a "shushing" gesture at her.
"…"
Now, he still couldn’t speak.
Once he spoke, the "treasure" here would vanish and disappear.
Scarlet Moon nodded, her expression still as cold and indifferent as ever.
In the next moment, Bai Yan took Scarlet Moon’s hand and they left. He turned around and headed towards where everyone was, while vibrant red flames transformed into a stunning new outfit for Scarlet Moon.
"Alright, you can speak now."
After returning to the group, Bai Yan finally allowed Scarlet Moon to speak up.
She suddenly shook off his hand, looking down on him with disdain, and said, "Why were you just standing there watching? Is that all you can do?"
Bai Yan, slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "No, that’s not it. I was actually retrieving a treasure. Your abilities are best suited for battle, while I can retrieve our target from the boundless depths of the sea."
"So let’s divide the work nicely, shall we?"
"Hmph, useless."
The Scarlet Moon’s mouth had always been stubborn and harsh.
Bai Yan just smiled, then reached out his hand and magically produced the treasure he had just obtained.
This treasure is not just a simple relic-like object. It is a very special "droplet" that is encased within a transparent egg, suspended at the center of the transparent egg.
"What is this?"
With just one glance, Aurora, who was approaching, could immediately see its extraordinary nature.
"Gurgle?"
Bai Yan, the male character, approached, followed by a crawling slime. With just one glance, the slime wanted to eat… But Bai Yan wouldn’t let it eat.
The Scarlet Moon raised her eyebrow and asked, "A civilization-level relic?"
Bai Yan took a deep breath and said, "No, compared to this civilization-level relic, it is hardly worth mentioning… This thing is the ‘foundation of World’."
"As long as it is fully unfolded, you can create a new world according to your own will."
"What?"
Aurora and the Scarlet Moon were both shocked, with faces full of astonishment.
The beginnings of a world?
Was this egg actually an incompletely unfolded world?
It sounded unbelievably absurd!
Scarlet Moon and Aurora both gazed upon this peculiar thing, trying to discover its unique qualities.
The slime still wanted to eat it, but Bai Yan wouldn’t allow it.
"Its texture is barely discernible, as if it doesn’t exist in the physical realm. If I close my eyes, I won’t be able to find it," the Scarlet Moon paused and asked, "So, how does one use this thing?"
Bai Yan shook his head and said,
"We can’t use it yet, but maybe one day, the great Savior of the Babel Tower will find a way to use it."
What he said was true, for now, we couldn’t use this item. At least, one must possess a divine level to transform World’s prototype into a real world.
In today’s world, the prototype was out of reach for "fragile" beings like them, so they could only watch from afar.
Of course, perhaps they could also trade it with needy gods or mighty civilizations.
In a brand new world that they had created, there were resources and opportunities so abundant that it would make any being green with envy.
As for why he had to go get it… Bai Yan knew that Noah’s world was extremely unsafe, with doomsday crises happening one after another. Even though he possessed the Babel Tower, he had to have an alternative plan.
When there was no other choice left, they could preserve humanity by becoming wandering Noah.
Anyway, the Noah people originally migrated from other worlds, and the Rainbows also joined forces at that time, extinguishing the original inhabitants of this place, the Doomsday Race.
It seems that the Noah people don’t mind going through another migration.
"It seems that the treasure-hunting journey arranged by the Savior is quite interesting."
Scarlet Moon squinted her eyes and became interested, "I’m curious about what the next treasure to be obtained is."
"Don’t worry."
Bai Yan simply said these words, as if there was an invisible force that calmed Scarlet Moon’s heart.
"The next treasure we want to retrieve is not something that only you and I can obtain, but it requires everyone present to complete the corresponding challenges together."
Everyone, you say?
Aurora pondered for a moment, and she understood why the Savior had brought her along. It seemed that certain treasures required a sufficient number of people to obtain them.
Bai Yan continued speaking:
"As for the next treasure, what it specifically is… I can only say that it is something we must obtain, capable of changing the current state of the Babel Tower!"
