### Chapter 1094: Chu Changqing

In the Tianshu Domain.

On the chaotic streets, vehicles from the Pantheon were rushing through. Clouds of dust billowed from the distant earthquake ruins, and countless figures worked together to dig for survivors under fallen boulders.

“Quick! There's still someone alive here!”“It's over… The two here are gone…”“Hurry up! Why do we have so few people?! Tell the Pantheon to send more people here!”“Everyone from the Pantheon has already been deployed. Now, people from other districts are voluntarily coming to help…”“Civilians can help too! Organize them well, search inch by inch! There must still be many people alive!”

From an aerial view, tiny black figures, like ants, were converging at an astonishing speed. They meticulously and swiftly searched the ruins, making it seem as if they were not individual beings but rather some grander, more colossal organism.

Su Zhiwei stood mid-air in the domain, gazing down at everything, the hem of her snow-white robe gently fluttering in the wind.

“Lord Hongchen, what are you thinking about?”The figure of the Pantheon Master materialized beside her.

“You are…”“I am the Pantheon Master, and one of the high-ranking officials of the Tianshu Domain.” The Pantheon Master’s expression was a little awkward. “There was a slight accident a couple of days ago… I just returned today.”

The Pantheon Master wanted to say he had been kidnapped by some inexplicable actor, but he couldn’t bring himself to. He, the esteemed Pantheon Master, had been knocked out in the Pantheon’s underground and forcibly imprisoned for so many days. If he hadn't desperately smashed that broken disc, he probably would still be missing. However, after learning about the situation outside and the news of the Limitless Domain being attacked by the Twilight Society, he could probably guess who that actor who kidnapped him really was…

Su Zhiwei glanced at him twice but didn't press for more, as she didn't know anyone in this era anyway.

“Humans are truly complex creatures. Sometimes, the internal conflicts arising from the evil within humanity are enough to destroy civilization… but then again, the power of human goodness often far exceeds what we can imagine,” Su Zhiwei said slowly, watching the bustling crowd below.“It seems that in any era, trust and unity are humanity's weapons against disaster…”

The Pantheon Master also looked down at the people below, letting out a long sigh.

Just as he was about to say something else,suddenly, a violent tremor emanated from deep beneath the Tianshu Domain!

Buzzzzzzzzzzz—A sound like enormous gears turning drowned out the cries of all the citizens, rumbling like thunder from the ground. Under everyone's stunned gaze, the streets and districts of the Tianshu Domain began to rotate, slowly opening like an incredibly precise machine…

The Pantheon Master seemed to realize something, profound shock appearing in his eyes.“This… this is…”

Nanhai Domain,Nanhai Base.

Bang—!!A sharp crack echoed from deep within the base. The next moment, all the lights in the base suddenly flared brightly, then sequentially exploded as if overloaded, plunging everything into darkness.

“What’s going on?! Why did the power system suddenly fail?!”“I don’t know…”“Repair it immediately! Quick!”

Amidst the chaos and urgency, a hazy starlight illuminated the dark corridor, like a captured sea of stars… As the starlight rippled, an aged figure slowly walked out.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the sweeping starlight instantly stunned all the base staff, and the previously noisy and chaotic environment plunged into dead silence.

The old man’s gaze showed no ripple. He slowly moved forward, passing through corridor after corridor, with starlight paving his way, gentle and deferential, like a close friend of many years accompanying him on his final journey.

Finally, the old man stopped before a massive stasis pod…

The starlight dispelled the darkness,revealing a long-haired young figure suspended upside down within the stasis pod in a deep blue glow, as if floating unsupported, eyes gently closed, looking as if asleep.

The old man looked at the familiar yet long-unseen face, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes…

He gently raised his hand, his wrinkled palm resting on the stasis pod’s surface, and spoke hoarsely, as if calling to a sleeping old friend:“Chu Changqing, it’s time for you to wake up.”

The dense starlight surrounding the old man slowly seeped into the stasis pod, making the deep blue glow even richer and more intense.

At the same time, the person inside the stasis pod seemed to sense something. Their closed eyes began to tremble incessantly, and an unusual radiance started emanating from their entire body surface!

Unlike Lord Aurora and Lord Tianshu, who awakened directly, this person in the stasis pod did not awaken immediately. As their brow furrowed and relaxed, their body visibly began to distort!

Suction cups like an octopus’s began to grow on their palms, then rapidly vanished; their flowing long hair gradually transformed into a horse’s mane, then reverted to human hair; eagle-like wings sprouted from their back; their legs fused into a fish’s tail; gills began to grow on the sides of their cheeks; their body swelled to the size of a bear… Within mere seconds, countless biological characteristics appeared on their body, only to vanish just as quickly…

A mysterious glow shimmered around them, but the old man, enveloped in starlight, seemed unfazed. He simply stood quietly outside the stasis pod, his eyes fixed on the constantly changing youth, as if waiting for something.

The transformations on the youth continued;After the common biological features had appeared, their body began to regress towards ancient forms; their hands gradually evolved into dinosaur claws, exaggerated skeletal dragon wings sprouted from their back, and their entire body shimmered with the sheen of unknown scales… They were like a living compendium of Earth’s species in human form, with each 'page' revealing an astonishing existence.

This process lasted a full five minutes before finally ending. As all non-human features receded into their body, the stasis pod once again fell silent.

A moment later,a pair of green eyes, like emerald bamboo, slowly opened in the darkness.

The light of life surged in those eyes, their narrow pupils encompassing countless past lives. Suspended upside down in the surging liquid, they gently raised a hand, and the stasis pod’s shell burst apart with a crash!The mysterious liquid flowed like a stream among the shattered fragments, and the long-haired figure slowly stepped out. Their green eyes glowed in the darkness like fireflies.

“Lu Xun…” Chu Changqing’s eyes focused on the old man before him, his expression complex,“You… how did you get so old?”

A wry smile appeared on the old man’s face,“Am I very old? I only woke up a few hours before you… I can only say that the stasis pod’s backlash was truly beyond expectation.”

Chu Changqing’s brow furrowed. Without hesitation, he picked up a fragment from the ground and drew it across a vein in his wrist…
