Chapter 164 - Chapter 164 : Echoes of the Past, Steps into the Future

Apotheosis World, Sky Wind Kingdom.

A flash of light appeared and disappeared as quickly as it came, but from it emerged three people—two girls and one man.

The man was tall, standing at 190 cm, with black and white hair tipped with gold and a pair of blood-red eyes. He wore elegant black clothing and exuded a calm, cultured aura.

As for the girls, they were incredibly beautiful.

To the right of the young man stood a girl with long black hair that reached her lower back, black eyes, and milky white skin. She had a mature figure for her age and wore elegant, semi-modern clothing. A noble aura radiated from her, impossible to hide.

This girl was none other than Zhu Zhuqing. Ever since the inter-world travel function was unlocked, she had been living in Yun Yun's world, training in the Misty Cloud Sect. Yun Yun had spared no resources, money, or guidance for her, which led to her rapid growth in strength. Her current power was comparable to the Emperor Profound Realm, an incredible achievement.

As for the other girl—or rather, woman—she was stunningly beautiful, with brownish-pink hair and captivating pink eyes. She had a fully mature body, with a proud chest and a rounded figure. Her aura was mature and enchanting, surpassing Zhuqing's. Not only that, but she also carried the natural aura of a ruler, something ingrained in her bones after years of governing others.

"Brother Tian!!" Before Yu Tian could say anything, Zhuqing threw herself at him, hugging him tightly as if trying to merge with him.

Yu Tian hadn't expected such an emotional embrace from Zhuqing. He knew she was usually a very cold girl and hadn't anticipated her showing such affectionate and charming expressions.

"Qing'er, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You've become even more mature and beautiful," Yu Tian smiled lightly, unbothered by Zhuqing's overly strong hug, and gently patted her hair.

"..." Ning Yudie watched silently, her curiosity piqued. She knew how cold Zhuqing usually was when dealing with others. The only times her cold expression changed were when there was an opportunity to grow stronger or when Yu Tian was mentioned. This made Yudie extremely curious about Yu Tian, who seemed to be someone everyone relied on and missed.

I have to admit, he's very handsome, but he doesn't seem particularly strong, Yudie thought as she stared at Yu Tian, who appeared to be nothing more than a handsome, cultured man without any noticeable power. However, she was soon shocked when she realized she couldn't sense his strength at all, which meant he was stronger than her—and she was at the 5th Limbo Realm.

But when she thought about Karen's constant descriptions of Yu Tian, Yudie could only believe that this seemingly ordinary, handsome mortal was far stronger than her. In her eyes, he didn't look any different from a mortal, which only highlighted the vast difference in their power.

"..." Upon hearing Yu Tian's praise, Zhuqing couldn't help but blush. She was happy to hear his compliments, as she held a deep attachment to him.

When she first joined the chat group, Yu Tian had been extremely kind to her. He gave her pills to help her heal and grow stronger, and even spent his own points to enhance her strength. For Zhuqing, who had never experienced such kindness before, Yu Tian became the object of her respect and affection. She grew deeply attached to him and nearly fell into despair when he left the chat group. However, she managed to pull herself together with the help of the other members, especially Karen, who assured her that Yu Tian would return but was busy with other matters.

Although nearly three years had passed since then, Zhuqing had always asked about him and never forgot him. Fortunately, Karen didn't hesitate to share updates about Yu Tian with them, even occasionally sharing pictures of him. This was how Zhuqing recognized him immediately.

"I apologize for interrupting this touching reunion, but I think it's best if we introduce ourselves first," Yudie said with a hint of annoyance. She felt like she was being forced to watch a romantic scene, and she had to admit she felt a bit jealous of Zhuqing. The young girl hadn't even reached her twenties, yet she had a man who loved her, while Yudie, who had lived for nearly five centuries, was still a virgin and had no one who loved her.

Although she had some feelings for Luo Zheng, that despicable man had left her alone in Cloud Temple while he went off to The Four God's Countries by himself after defeating Cui Xie. His Sword Spirit had been damaged in the fight against Cui Xie, and he decided to venture into The Four God's Countries to find a type of wood to help repair her spirit.

Because of this resentment, Yudie couldn't help but interrupt the intimate atmosphere between the two in front of her. Jealousy gnawed at her from within, and she vowed to give Luo Zheng a good beating the next time she saw him.

"That's right..." Yu Tian smiled reluctantly and stepped out of Zhuqing's embrace. He wanted to continue hugging her soft, warm body, but unfortunately, this wasn't the right time to indulge in such things. "My name is Yu Tian. It's a pleasure to meet you, Yudie. I'll be relying on you during this Quest."

"Ning Yudie, Lord of Cloud Temple. My strength is at the 5th Limbo Realm," Yudie said with a frown, placing her hands under her chest, which only accentuated her impressive bust. "Can't you say anything besides your name?"

"..." Yu Tian stared at Yudie's impressive chest for a moment before shifting his gaze to her beautiful face. "Well, I'll introduce myself further. As I said before, my name is Yu Tian. I rule my world—or more accurately, my planet. My strength is at the 1st Divine Tribulation Realm. By the way, I'm a dragon, not a human."

Although Yu Tian's race wasn't Dragon but Celestial Devourer, it was better to say he was a dragon. Despite being a Celestial Devourer, he still retained his dragon abilities, which hadn't disappeared. The same applied to the powers of the Phoenix and Golden Crow bloodlines, among others.

"Zhu Zhuqing. I'm the second daughter of the Zhu Family, and my strength is at Spirit Saint," Zhuqing said quietly, though there was an unmistakable hint of displeasure in her eyes as she stared at Yudie. She had wanted to hug Yu Tian for longer.

Although every member of the chat group now used the Cultivation system, these systems were very similar, and there was a detailed explanation in the chat group. Yudie knew that Spirit Saint was comparable to someone at the Limbo Realm, and Zhuqing's strength wasn't inferior to hers.
