This is one of the very few times Long Yi directly used the power of the contract. Ruosha, who was sleeping in, was summoned out, her expression unwilling. But upon seeing Long Yi’s face, she immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Long Yi initially planned to inform Emperor Kirei about this matter, but after thinking about it, he decided to just go ahead. First, time waits for no one, and by the time Kirei found out, it may already be too late for some things. Second, by now, Ai Lin already knows, so it is highly likely that Kirei knows as well. So once he hears about Long Yi’s movements, he will understand what he is doing.

There are indeed some benefits to having a clever friend.

Between Xiaoyou’s wings, fighting aura was brimming. Gale winds howled around them, but the surging fighting aura formed a shield around Xiaoyou’s body, like a razor-sharp blade, keeping all resistance at bay.

Ai Lin left in the morning. At least six hours had passed since then, and Long Yi found it hard to imagine what could have happened in these six hours. However, he always had an uneasy feeling in his heart. He attributed this uneasiness entirely to his concern for Suolin, but as time went on, this uneasiness became more apparent.

"Xiaoyou! Go faster!"

Long Yi roared in a low voice. In fact, Xiaoyou had already sensed Long Yi’s unease. Not only Xiaoyou, but anyone who has a contract with Long Yi, even the Dragon Hunting Spider sisters far away in the White Dragon Empire’s military camp, felt this touch of unease.

Because of their unique nature, Isrile and her three followers did not participate in any combat. They were Long Yi’s secret weapons, sitting at the base of the legion. According to Long Yi’s arrangement, they should not send them into battle unless they have broken face with the Dragon Clan and started the final battle. The appearance of the Dragon Hunting Spiders didn’t necessarily mean the exposure of Long Yi’s identity as a giant, but the Dragon Hunting Spiders were weapons created by giants to hunt countless members of the Dragon Clan. Their appearance on the battlefield would be seen as a taunt and would definitely trigger a mad attack from the Dragon Clan.

Isrile understood her unique position. Fortunately, other than eating, she and her sisters didn’t have any special hobbies. As spiders, they loved sitting around waiting for prey to walk into their trap; they never lacked patience.

However, even as Dragon Hunting Spiders, they were slightly worried about the current situation in the White Dragon Empire. The Black Dragon Empire’s invasion of one hundred thousand black dragons was absurd! Had the Dragon Clan gone mad?

Of course, thinking was too difficult for the Dragon Hunting Spiders. So, they chose to do what they were best at.

Eat.

After dinner, Isrile and her three sisters patrolled the military camp as usual. Since Long Yi wanted them to hold the fort here, they had to perform their duties.

A Fine Gold Golem was walking towards them.

"Big sister, hello!"

Isrile quickly lined up with her followers to salute. Since something happened, Isrile was exceptionally respectful to the Fine Gold Golem, and even the fearless Ruosha respected it, which was confusing.

"I didn’t see Long Yi. Hasn’t he already returned?" The Fine Gold Golem asked.

"Yes, he returned. But due to an emergency, he left again." Isrile said.

"An emergency?"

"Yes, the Black Dragon Empire invaded the Green Dragon Empire. In the morning, Suolin secretly returned to her country to provide aid, and Long Yi left in the evening." Isrile explained.

"What! The Black Dragon Empire invaded! That shouldn’t happen!" The Fine Gold Golem looked up at the starry sky. Right now, stars were twinkling all over the sky, providing excellent visibility. A faint voice came from Isrile’s body.

"Time line being modified, re-synchronizing time line."

"Damn it!" The Fine Gold Golem swore, "The timeline was still affected! The invasion of the Black Dragon Empire has come earlier than expected!"

"What?" Isrile did not understand.

"Nothing! I have to go to the Green Dragon Empire right now. I’ll leave the military camp in your care!"

After saying that, the Fine Gold Golem ran away quickly, found the Thunder Eagle outside the military camp, and flew straight to the Green Dragon Empire.

Along the way, the lips of the Fine Gold Golem were pressed tightly together. Faint voices continuously came from its body.

"Checking the first timeline... The first timeline is normal."

"Checking the second timeline... A slight correction has occurred in the second timeline."

"Checking the third timeline... The third timeline is not closed, a time traveler has been detected."

"Checking the fourth timeline... Warning! The fourth timeline is extremely unstable, a god-level high energy is exerting an unknown influence on the timeline!"

"Damn it! Long Yi, you fool, don’t you dare do anything stupid!"

The Fine Gold Golem muttered, urging the Thunder Eagle to fly faster.

Meanwhile, at the Green Dragon Empire.

The Imperial City.

The Imperial Palace of the Green Dragon Empire was currently a mess.

In the massive city ruins, there were traces of corrosion by the Black Dragon’s breath everywhere. Soldiers in tattered clothes were cleaning the ruins, and occasional faint cries for help proved that countless people were buried under the ruins.

In the broken walls of the palace, an inexplicably heavy atmosphere pervaded the area.

Long Yi, Ai Lin, Ruosha, and Little Zi stood there, their eyes blank. Bajie and Xiaoyou were crouched on the ground on one side, their faces full of anger and sorrow.

In the middle of the crowd, on a shattered stone wall, Suolin was lying there, a huge hole in her chest, her body cold.

Long Yi stood there, silently, his mind completely blank!

They hurried over as fast as they could, but they were still a step too late. The Black Dragon had already turned the Green Dragon Empire’s palace into ruins and was still slaughtering people of the Green Dragon Empire. What they saw was Suolin, who had lost her Dragon Heart and entered a pseudodead state.

Apparently, when Suolin arrived, she saw the entire army of Green Dragon Knights being wiped out. She immediately transformed into a White Dragon and tangled with several Black Dragons. The ability to freely deploy fighting aura techniques made her invincible against the Black Dragons! However, although she eventually killed dozens of Black Dragons, there were too many Black Dragons around. Suolin was ultimately caught by a Black Dragon and had her Dragon Heart shattered. Without the Dragon Heart, there was no strength. Suolin immediately turned into a human figure. She entered a pseudodead state to save her life, but her life was continually fading!

After hearing the sad old Emperor Jim Green finish speaking, Long Yi went mad. Bajie, Xiaoyou, Ai Lin, Little Zi, and Ruosha joined the attack and began a ruthless slaughter of the Black Dragons. However, the Dragon Heart was already damaged, and Long Yi had tried everything he could but could not reverse it.

Watching helplessly as Suolin’s life slipped away in front of him, Long Yi felt useless for the first time.

Think!

Think carefully!

He had to remember how he had helped Suolin in the first place!

With the Black Dragon’s corpses all over the ground, Long Yi tried to take another Dragon Heart to replace Suolin’s. However, the bodies of the Black Dragons, along with their Dragon Hearts, were rapidly withering away, their flesh and bone quickly turning into ashes!

What else can I do? What other options do I have?

Create a Dragon Heart?

Out of thin air?

Long Yi took out the Giant Staff and Giant Tablet, attempting to create a Dragon Heart for Suolin out of thin air.

But it’s impossible!

What is Suolin now? A human? A Black Dragon? A Green Dragon? Or a White Dragon?

Her incredibly complex genetic structure is causing a rejection reaction to every method!

What can I do?

Wait!

I still have an option!

Divine Power! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Initially, Yavenny’s mentor gave Long Yi a bit of Divine Power, of which, other than the small portion used at the beginning, the rest remained dormant.

The Divine Power is not a mighty force, in fact, it’s extremely gentle. Moreover, it’s simple to use. All you need to do is tell the Divine Power what you want to do, and the rest will be done by it!

The gentle Divine Power congealed in Long Yi’s hands.

I want Suolin to recover!

That’s what Long Yi thought in his heart.

However, Suolin, who had originally been in a shallow death state, stopped Long Yi.

"Brother Long, don’t waste such precious power for me."

"Are you out of your mind? How could this be a waste!"

"I’m not worth you using the Divine Power for my sake."

Suolin spoke weakly.

Suolin knew Long Yi was exerting Divine Power and understood that it could accomplish almost anything. Hence, it was extraordinarily valuable and should only be used at a critical juncture.

"In my blood-soaked life, I’m already extremely content to have met you, Brother Long. I carry immense sins on my shoulders. By dying now, it’s just a kind of atonement. And you, Brother Long, carry a far greater calling. You should not squander the Divine Power on me."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Long Yi didn’t want to listen to Suolin’s words. He pushed away Suolin’s hand and tried to forcibly heal her.

"It’s... too late." Suolin’s face was adorned with a smile as she gazed at Long Yi. Astonishingly, her body was wilting. Suolin was incinerating her own life!

"You fool! What are you doing!"

In the blink of an eye, the Divine Power in Long Yi’s hands was insufficient to completely heal Suolin.

"Stop! You idiot! Stop! Just stop!"

Bang!

The staff in his hands slammed heavily onto the ground, at which moment, everything in the surroundings seemed to halt.

A line of words quickly appeared on the tablet held in Long Yi’s hand.

"Super spatiotemporal life detected..."

Has time stopped?

Long Yi stared at the gemstone atop the staff that was emitting light. He knew the Giant Staff was enigmatically powerful. The giants used this staff to accomplish almost anything. When Long Yi first received it, he had crossed through different times and spaces.

Long Yi felt his entire body heavy as he entered the super spatiotemporal state. This state exhausts one tremendously. However, he ignored his own wellbeing and struggled to Suolin’s side. Yet, he despairingly discovered that Suolin was beyond saving.

Why is it like this?

How could it be so?

Anger, sorrow, unwillingness, all surged into Long Yi’s heart simultaneously. Everything had been smooth sailing until now, making Long Yi believe he could protect anyone. But now, reality told him he was too presumptuous.

If only he could switch places, he really wished it was he lying there instead of the ones beside him.

This is all my fault.

If only I had arrived a bit earlier...

If only I had ended the war sooner...

If only...

If only I could kill Yake Black! If only I could have directly killed Tilian back then!

If Tilian hadn’t existed, then the Black Dragon Empire wouldn’t exist now! The White Dragon Empire would reign supreme; the Dragon Clan would be involved sooner! By then, once I’ve slightly lowered the technological level of the White Dragon Empire, both sides would maintain a surface-level peace. Then, I would unleash the most advanced technology suddenly. Give me two years, and I will equip every warrior of the White Dragon Empire with the Light Cannon! I will turn any Dragon Clan member who stands before me into a bloody mess!

Long Yi lowered his head, looking at the Giant Staff in his hands and sensing the Divine Power within his body.

Giant Staff, Divine Power, I don’t know how you two work, but right now, I need your help!

I want to cross through time! I want to return to the past! I want to make up for all my regrets! I...want...to...kill...Tilian! (To be continued.
