Chapter 1933 - 994: Remnants of Past Light (Part 2)

Under the blessing of Taia, the possibilities he saw and manipulated, how could they not exceed his limits by hundreds of times?

The consequences, naturally, would be a hundred times more severe!

"Luckily, you know your limits and chose a soft target to test, without altering much... Although there is pressure now, it's still within bearable range."

The Dispatcher warned, "Compared to the compounding loans replete with interest those bugs can't ever repay, yours is merely akin to a credit card installment, just temporarily uncomfortable.

But if you don't restrain yourself, it could be troublesome later."

"Just this bit of pressure?"

Ji Jue was stunned, then eagerly tried: "Then I feel I seem... ooh!!!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the Dispatcher glanced at Beagle beside him, and Ji Jue's vision instantly blackened again, bending over vomiting, the world spun.

Only when Beagle called out again did Ji Jue's dizziness and pressure vanish in a flash.

Reaching this point, if one couldn't recognize who the true master was, Ji Jue could find a high place to jump and restart.

"Brother Beagle, indeed, I love you too!"

Ji Jue lovingly picked up Beagle from the ground, but unfortunately, Beagle gave him no face, casting a sidelong glance with its large, black-lined eyes, uttered a contemptuous sound.

For some reason, there was no longer the previous ear-piercing noise, like hearing divine music enlightening the ears!

You understand, we've always been good pals... As for the Dispatcher, I wish him luck!

"Now I can tell you, Beagle's task is to help you withstand the pressure and backlash resulting from time manipulation during work."

The Dispatcher slowly said, "As a Spirit derived from the Gate of Eternity, its tolerance is hundreds, even thousands of times stronger than humans.

For you, the stress requiring a ten-day half-month rest is merely sneezing for it."

Ji Jue hesitated immediately, "Then why was it so uncomfortable before..."

"Oh, that's because it wasn't happy."

The Dispatcher casually remarked, causing Ji Jue's facial muscles to twitch.

"Alright then, I was blind to not recognize greatness, thanks for Brother Beagle's care."

Ji Jue held Beagle, lifting it onto the materials exploded from Root of Death, taking a deep breath, waving a pained goodbye:

"Eat, it's all yours!"

"..."

For a moment, Beagle widened its eyes atop the giant fossil-like crystal before it, looked down at the fossil ten times its size, then back at Ji Jue.

Incredulous.

Until Ji Jue waved repeatedly, gritting his teeth as he averted his eyes.

It lowered its head, opened its mouth over the stone stump, then suddenly paused.

As if after some hesitation, it opened its mouth again, closing it.

Crunch.

The originally whole stump suddenly lost half, as if invisible jaws had bisected it, amidst the hair-raising chewing sound, Beagle's mouth continuously opened and shut, instantly digesting.

Finally, it jumped off the remaining half stump, shaking its big ears towards Ji Jue, snorting at the stump half.

A cold snort, seemingly disdainful.

This half's for you!

"Ah, say no more, brother, I'll just use this thing then!"

Ji Jue grinned, retrieving the half stump without disdain, hugging his newly recognized thigh, leading a bunch of little brothers, continuing to cleanse the Border Hell Layer's pollution.

Smoothly onward.

After all, beings as hefty as Root of Death are still rare, the rest are merely an unpromising cluster of Little Kalamis.

With Taia's suppression and so many trusty brothers, the process went without much effort, within one afternoon, they had cleared most debris from this layer of the Border Prison, at least half a week ahead of the Dispatcher's predicted progress.

The collapse's rumble was unending.

Every time Ji Jue cleared an area, the Dispatcher would shrink, fold, and absorb the entire region into void, while the remaining parts grew increasingly compact.

Watching the Border Hell Layer continually shrink under his cleaning, until only the grand halls remained empty, really soothed Ji Jue's compulsiveness.

Just as Ji Jue took care of the last sludge creature, a cracking sound echoed above again.

At the center of the Border Hell Layer, the last hall's dome, like one-way glass, abruptly shattered, cracks spread swiftly, falling apart.

A vast crack appeared instantly atop the dome.

Like an immensely deep hole, suspended inverted in the sky.

Through that crack extending indefinitely, countless star-like flashes could be observed, endless time remnants rising and falling from the darkness's end, swirling into a grand cosmic display like a galaxy.

Amidst each twinkling gleam, a winding, translucent beam gushed like a torrent from the darkness's deepest star point, stretching towards Ji Jue and his comrades.

Behind that huge crack, occasionally, something seemed to fall downward, yet most behaved like meteors entering the atmosphere, quickly dissipating into ash during descent.

Occasionally, a few specks of Dust would fall, soon disappearing completely.

Now, Ji Jue finally understood where all the drifting debris originated.

And this near-bottomless, dizzying hole overhead...
