As Ye Han spoke, he pulled out a small crystal and crushed it. Another portal opened up, this time right behind Xu Shan.
"Why do I have to leave?" Xu Shan asked, confused.
However, Ye Han didn't answer him. Ye Han placed his hand on Xu Shan's chest, gently pushing him inside the portal behind him.
Xu Shan didn't expect it. With the slightest push, he was sent inside the spatial portal.
However, even as his body fell in the spatial portal, his eyes were in the sky. He finally saw a person coming out of the portal... A person dressed in all black.
Xu Shan's eyes revealed a look of shock as he saw that person. The portal he was pushed inside, closed on its own. Ye Han didn't enter it after him.
However, Xu Shan still heard Ye Han's voice as he fell. "I'll catch up. Until then... Survive!"
The other end of the spatial portal opened in one of the Multiple Lower Realms far away from the Celestial Realm.
Xu Shan's figure fell out of the spatial portal in the sky. After sending him out, the spatial portal exploded within itself, leaving no trail behind!
The Celestial Mark in Xu Shan's eyes shone brightly. His Heavenly Realm aura spread out. However, as soon as his aura came out, he felt a pain course through his entire body as a lightning bolt fell straight on him, from the sky.
It was as if it was Heaven's Punishments for him to try and use strength beyond the limits of this world.
Xu Shan roared in pain, being directly hit by the lighting bolt. He had finally realized that he was in the Lower Realms!
Even as his body was trembling with pain, he knew he had to balance himself.
He adjusted his position in the air, even as he fell. Fortunately, he was able to do that on time and didn't crash straight on his hand.
A crater developed under his group as he finally landed. A loud booming noise also spread out.
Xu Shan felt the unstable energy flowing all around him. He dropped to his butt, feeling exhausted.
However, his mind was still on the person that he had seen coming out of the spatial crack! He couldn't believe it was that person!
At first, he thought it was going to be Qin Ye, trying one last time. However, the reality was different. It wasn't Qin Ye, or any other Book Holder... It was the person he had seen in one of his dreams!
It was the same person whose wedding he had crashed in his dream, and the same person who he was almost about to kill!
"Who is he?"
Xu Shan didn't remember meeting that person in this life, at least not in reality! He also had no interaction with that person, so he didn't understand why Ye Han told him to escape! Just what was the relationship between him and that guy, whose strength... He couldn't even measure!
Moreover, another strange thing was Ye Han! When Ye Han sent him inside the spatial portal, he noticed that Ye Han was actually much stronger... Even stronger than the Eternal Emperor!
He finally understood why the Sky Emperor died! Ye Han had given him an excuse that they used some ancient formation to trap and kill the Sky Emperor but it was clear now, that wasn't the truth!
The peace that he had finally received to some extent, was snatched from him. And now he had even more questions. Just who was Ye Han actually? If he was that strong, why was he working under the Eternal Emperor? And who was the man that came out of the spatial crack?
And the biggest question in his head was, how was he connected to all this!
"Are you alright?" Xinren reached out her hand to help Xu Shan up.
"You know who that guy was?" Xu Shan asked, not taking the hands of the Book Spirit before him.
Xinren shook her head. "I don't. All I know is that he was very strong... Strong beyond your imagination!"
"Can Ye Han and the others win against him?" Xu Shan asked, finally taking the hands of Xinren even though he still didn't believe that she told him everything that she knew.
Xinren looked at the sky. She lightly shook her head. "Unlikely... We should take this time and go to the Celestial Lotus. You should be prepared for everything."
Xu Shan nodded. He was quite curious about what was happening in the Celestial Realm. If that person was there for him, was he going to leave after not finding him? Or was he going to destroy everything? Was the Eternal Dynasty going to disappear? There were many questions in his head as he thought about what was happening back there.
However, he had no intention of finding his way back now. No matter who it was, they weren't more important than his life.
As for the person who came out of the Spatial Crack... Xu Shan left that matter for later since he wasn't strong enough to do anything to that guy for now. First, he needed to find more information about that guy, and about their relationship!
"What are the chances that we are lucky and out of hundreds of Lower Worlds, we are sent to the one with the Celestial Lotus?" Xinren asked Xu Shan, walking behind him as they left to find out where exactly they were.
"Unlikely..." Xu Shan shook his head. "We are in the wrong world. However, it really would've been perfect if we were on the right Lower Realm."
"How do you know we aren't in the right place?"
"The Book of Truth... It just issued me a quest to get to the right Lower Realm before the Celestial Lotus matures... That can only mean we are in the wrong place.."
"We need to get to the right place and we don't have much time... But before that, we need to find out where exactly we are...."
