Prophetic Words

In truth, the reason Sima Gao had shown up in Little Nora's live stream was that he was in too much agony. His heart was tormented by hatred, while his body suffered excruciating pain from the taint of the Abyss—pain that drugs could barely alleviate, not that he dared rely on them in the first place. By chance, he had wandered into Little Nora's stream and was immediately captivated by the mukbang. In doing so, he had actually forgotten his pain, finding instead a long-lost sense of happiness in Little Nora's channel. From then on, he became one of Little Nora's most loyal viewers. Whenever he had free time, he would stay in the stream watching Little Nora eat, allowing him to briefly forget both his hatred and his physical agony. It could be said that he was one of the viewers with the longest watch times in Little Nora's stream. However, now that Little Nora had volunteered to take the field, the rest of the fans wailed in protest, begging her not to go. They wanted to keep watching the food stream and didn't want Little Nora doing anything else. Just watching Little Nora eat non-stop brought them immense happiness. "But I want to help my fan. Sima is so pitiful," Little Nora said hesitantly, looking at the other viewers in the stream. Yu Xian placed a hand on Little Nora's head, giving it a vigorous rub as he chuckled. "If you want to do it, just do it. Don't tie yourself in knots. We're meant to live freely. Streaming is for fun, and helping others is for fun too. As long as it makes you happy, why not?" "Mm, then I'm coming along too," Little Nora nodded. Moved to tears, Sima Gao said, "Thank you. Thank you, Duckie. Thank you, Freeloader." "We want to watch too! Don't end the stream! Let us have some sense of participation!" fans immediately pleaded in the chat. Yu Xian gave a wry smile. "Once Duckie heads into the Death Calamity Sea, there probably won't be any reception. Most of you won't be able to watch the live broadcast anyway. Just watch the recording later." Currently, Little Nora's live streams were broadcast to the Myriad Realms. Wherever there was a network, she downloaded the local streaming apps, so each time she went live, countless platforms ran simultaneously, broadcasting across the realms in real time. However, this feature was limited to the God Vault Space. Once she left the God Vault Space and lost the network provided by the Super-Linked Signal Station, she could only rely on whatever local network was available. As soon as Yu Xian said this, countless viewers broke into howls of despair. It took Little Nora quite a while to soothe everyone and get them to accept the reality. "Alright, Big Brother, let's head out," Little Nora then said to Yu Xian with a smile. Yu Xian nodded and immediately returned from the God Vault Space to the Everlasting Silence Prison Tower. In a room within the tower, he and Little Nora materialized at the same time, before leaving the tower together. This time, they appeared in their home on Earth. Although Yu Xian no longer lived in this three-mu Chinese-style villa, it hadn't been sold. Instead, it was kept as a keepsake. Occasionally, when Su Zhuo returned from the company, she would give it a clean. With Yu Xian's support, Su Zhuo was now also a Transcendent. She spent most of each day cultivating, occasionally heading to the company to handle business. As for the rest of her time, she either shared meals with Yu Xian, traveled around the globe with Nora, or went shopping with Niman in Crescent Bay. Now, standing inside the house, Little Nora asked, "Big Brother, how are we going to get to the Death Calamity Sea?" "Hail a ride, of course," Yu Xian said with a grin, pulling out a bus transit card. He held up the card. Instantly, the surrounding space began to warp, and a bus drove right out of the distorted space, coming to a halt in front of the two of them. *Beep!* The Miraculous As-You-Wish Card. When the bus doors slid open, Yu Xian stepped on and tapped the card directly against the card reader. [Miraculous As-You-Wish Card: Upon use, summons a bus headed to a specified destination. Can carry up to 33 passengers. Usable 33 times per month. Guaranteed to arrive at the destination after 33 minutes per use.] This miraculous item was not something Yu Xian had crafted using a singularity, but something he had found in the storage ring of Feng Laixian, the Sun Emperor. At first, he hadn't known how to use it, and it had taken several trials before he figured out the mechanics. Yu Xian and Little Nora sat on the bus. Its doors slowly closed, and it then sped through the warped space. Outside the bus windows, the scenery gradually cleared up. The Abyss flashed by frame by frame, revealing the wreckage of countless planets and even shards of broken worlds. Occasionally, the wreckage of starships and carcasses of creatures appeared beyond the glass. However, the bus and the outside world seemed to exist on two parallel tracks; nothing in the Abyss could affect the vehicle. Little Nora was somewhat interested in looking outside at first, but after watching for ten-odd minutes, she simply settled into her seat, clapped her paws together, conjured some food, and started eating. Even off stream, she was a glutton. In fact, having done food streams every single day all these years, the amount of food she had consumed would be larger than the moon if piled together. Naturally, eating this much brought steady growth in power, putting her within spitting distance of late Star Rank. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the Death Calamity Sea appeared before the bus. It was a colossal golden barrier. Once the bus crossed through it, an endless golden ocean unfolded before them, along with countless islands suspended above the water. Every single island was enormous; even the smallest among them was comparable in total surface area to Earth. "Whoa, a shimmering golden sea!" Little Nora was instantly captivated by the gorgeous scenery of the Death Calamity Sea. Looking at the ocean outside the window, she gasped in wonder. Yu Xian smiled faintly. "The Death Calamity Sea is actually the bladder of Feng Laixian, the Sun Emperor. This golden seawater is actually his urine. Still think it looks pretty?" "..." The smile on Little Nora's face vanished in an instant. Yet a second later, Yu Xian burst out laughing and chortled, "Hahaha! Little Nora, you actually believed that?" "..." Little Nora stared at Yu Xian in silence, her expression devoid of any smile. Gradually, the smile faded from Yu Xian's face as well. Several years ago, Little Nora had awakened a new bloodline ability called [Correct Error]. In short, whenever anyone spoke to her, she could discern whether the words were true or false. Although Yu Xian had only meant to tease her just now, he had triggered her ability—and returned a result of "correct." In other words, this golden ocean truly was urine from the bladder of Feng Laixian, the Sun Emperor! "..." In the end, Yu Xian and Little Nora stared silently out the window, neither of them smiling anymore. The Death Calamity Sea was truly terrifying. Both of them silently resolved in their hearts that no matter what happened, they could never, ever fall into that seawater under any circumstances! Just then, the bus gradually slowed down and finally came to a stop at the edge of an island. As the bus doors slowly slid open, Yu Xian and Little Nora suddenly found themselves reluctant to step outside. Outside the bus, Sima Gao emerged from his hiding spot, limping toward the vehicle. Overcome with excitement, the skinless half of his face twitched violently. Yet he didn't care in the slightest, gazing with burning eyes at the two figures on the bus who seemed unwilling to get off. At long last, he could avenge his compatriots.
