Invincible Dad-Chapter 766 I Remember You_1

"The Supreme Emperor, the fog from the White Crane Elixir has dissipated!"

From outside Barrier No. 818233, Baize’s somber voice rang out.

Xu Lai turned to look at Shi Lan.

She knew it was impossible to rescue the Celestial Clan from their dire straits anytime soon unless the entire Tian Gui Tribe could be annihilated in one fell swoop.

"Supreme Emperor, please attend to your affairs," she whispered. "I... I will use this time to find the exact coordinates. I only ask that you save my clan when the time comes."

With that, she forced out a drop of her Soul Blood.

Xu Lai accepted it without ceremony. Even though he had confirmed the slave sigil in her bloodline, he still couldn’t fully trust her. He was a man who believed only thirty percent of what he was told, and he remained skeptical of most of that, too.

Shi Lan let out a long sigh of relief when Xu Lai accepted her Soul Blood. To her, this meant the Supreme Emperor had temporarily accepted her and was willing to save the Celestial Clan.

After a deep bow, Shi Lan turned and left, ignoring the fact that her injuries had yet to fully heal.

Xu Lai returned to the Heavenly Court’s treasure vault. "What happened?"

Under normal circumstances, the fog from the White Crane Elixir should have taken longer to fade. Its sudden disappearance was unexpected.

"I don’t know." Baize shook her head, pulling Yu Guiwan back a step as she fixed her calm gaze on Xu Lai.

Xu Lai fell silent.

Right, the Second Divine General wants me to go in first and check for danger. What a considerate subordinate.

After a moment’s thought, Xu Lai decided not to enter rashly. Instead, he manifested a clone. The clone, a perfect replica of Xu Lai himself, cracked his neck and gave a nod before stepping into Barrier No. 818233.

In an instant, the thread of Divine Sense connected to the clone was severed.

Xu Lai’s eyebrow twitched. His clone hadn’t been refined for long, but it could still hold its own against a First-Heaven Quasi-Emperor. Yet now, it had vanished without a sound.

"Senior Sister, care to go in and have a look?" Xu Lai asked, turning his head.

"???"

Yu Guiwan’s beautiful face was a canvas of question marks.

Xu Lai chuckled softly and, without further hesitation, stepped into the Barrier.

Inside the small Barrier, the fog was gone, no longer obstructing his Divine Sense. Xu Lai’s gaze immediately fell upon the two 100,000-zhang-tall giant corpses.

The male giant, Gu Yan, was unchanged.

However, the wounds on the unnamed female giant had almost completely healed, her skin now a heart-stopping, inky black. The weapons that had pierced her body countless eons ago had all crumbled, their remnants scattered on the ground like scrap metal, all their former sharpness gone.

Xu Lai kept his distance, standing about three thousand zhang away from the female giant and observing her from afar. He no longer sensed a deathly stillness from her body. Instead, he felt a shocking, vigorous surge of blood flowing furiously through her veins.

BANG.

BANG.

BANG.

The female giant’s decaying heart began to beat with immense power, causing the entire small Barrier to tremble as if it would collapse at any moment.

Xu Lai raised an eyebrow. Could it be true? Did the White Crane Elixir really awaken these two giants, just as Baize predicted?

Just then, a jolt of premonition struck Xu Lai’s heart—danger was imminent!

Without the slightest hesitation, he formed a sword with his fingers and slashed out with the Qingfeng Sword Intent. Not once, but a hundred times over.

The Qingfeng Sword Intent was subtle and silent, capable of instantly killing any Quasi-Emperor. Yet, the scene that unfolded left Baize and Yu Guiwan, who had just followed him in, completely stunned.

The 100,000-zhang-tall female giant had opened her eyes. She looked down at Xu Lai, who was as small as an ant before her.

Under her gaze, all one hundred streams of Sword Intent crumbled to dust.

"——"

Time and space seemed to freeze in that instant.

Spanning a hundred eons, this wasn’t the World of Obsession born from Gu Yan’s lingering will. This was real. Xu Lai finally met the female giant’s gaze.

That one look felt like a million years.

"It’s you." The female giant’s massive pupils constricted.

"You know me?" Xu Lai narrowed his eyes.

"Of course, I remember you."

’Remember...’ Xu Lai’s brow furrowed. She didn’t say she knew him; she said she remembered him.

A sudden thought made his scalp prickle with terror. Could it be... she remembers when I entered Gu Yan’s World of Obsession? Impossible.

Before Xu Lai could say anything, the female giant spoke, her voice hoarse and thick with hatred and killing intent.

"I remember you. That man came for the key. Because you entered Gu Yan’s body, it prevented him from undergoing ancestral reversion and summoning the No Righteous Sword. We both died in this Lower Realm because of you."

"I AM FILLED WITH SUCH HATE!"

Fueled by her towering rage, the small Barrier instantly shattered. If not for Xu Lai’s timely intervention to contain the blast, the collapse would have triggered a chain reaction, turning the entire Heavenly Court treasure vault to ash.

The female giant was in a frenzy. She thrashed her enormous arms, seemingly trying to destroy everything in sight.

Xu Lai remained motionless. "I have a way to awaken you," he said calmly. "And him."

The "him" she referred to was, of course, Gu Yan.

The female giant’s movements froze instantly. She looked down at the levitating Xu Lai, and after a long moment, she spat, "An ant from the Lower Realm dares to make such a brazen claim. If we six hadn’t been forced to guard the severed Boundary Path... why would we have ended up in this wretched state!"

Ancestral reversion... No Righteous Sword... Lower Realm... Boundary Path... Six people.

Xu Lai’s mind seized on the keywords in her speech.

He spoke with gravity, "My meeting with you in the World of Obsession took place in a vision of the past, a past from thirty-six eons before today. Do you truly believe I have the power to travel through time?"

Time and space. Those were terrifying laws capable of twisting all of reality. Even the Seventh Divine General, a master of such arts, couldn’t travel back three hundred years, let alone thirty-six eons. Though Xu Lai was in the Emperor Realm, he couldn’t do it either.

After a brief pause, he continued, "But awakening Gu Yan... that is possible."

"..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The female giant fell silent for a moment before bursting into mocking laughter. "You ant from the Lower Realm, do you really think a few pathetic elixirs can bring our two corpses back to life? Ridiculous."

"He is Human Emperor Xu Qingfeng, Lord of the Heavenly Court, revered throughout the Four Immortal Domains. Watch your tone," Yu Guiwan said sharply, her displeasure clear.

"The king of an ant world is still just an ant."

The female giant stared at Yu Guiwan’s face for a moment, and suspicion flickered in her expression.

"You are..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her enormous body began to crumble. She made no sound, merely watching in silence as her form disintegrated. Finally, her lips curled into a silent, knowing smile, as if she had expected this all along.

"Why?"

Ignoring Yu Guiwan’s attempt to stop her, Baize shot forward in a streak of light, her calm eyes burning with an intense thirst for knowledge.

Facing Baize, the female giant showed none of the hatred or anger she had directed at Xu Lai. Instead, her voice was incongruously soft and gentle for her immense size.

"The Poison Pill was indeed effective for us... but it came too late. If only it had arrived a dozen or so eons sooner..."
