# Chapter 1401: Gambling on the Future
Bai Kou: !!!
What kind of jinx are you? Yu Shen's Tears is already coming before you even finished speaking?
Normally it wouldn't be a problem!
But in such fragmented space with dense spatial rifts, once Yu Shen's Tears explodes!
The entire space can't withstand the impact and will shatter completely!
Then there won't even be a place to escape!
Watching Yu Shen's Tears about to strike Jiangnan's chest!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth tightly, what to do?
Fight it or not?
The distance hasn't exceeded 100,000 meters yet, Jiangnan can still sense the coin in Lan's hand!
He can swap back to save his life at any time!
But if he does, all the path he's traveled so far will be wasted!
In an instant, Jiangnan made his decision!
A spatial wormhole unfolded right in front of his chest at the smallest possible size!
With the exit behind his back!
Minimizing spatial fluctuations!
Yu Shen's Tears instantly passed through Jiangnan's chest, piercing through!
⁍̴꒨(ಠ～ಠꐦ)꒨─=≡⁍̴
It didn't shatter!
But it headed straight for Bai Kou. Jiangnan opened another pair of spatial wormholes around Bai Kou!
Yu Shen's Tears passed through the two at alarming speed and disappeared into the distance!
Only then did Bai Kou's tense mind relax a little.
If not for Jiangnan leading the way, she would have already fallen into the dimensional gap this time!
However, the fluctuation from the spatial wormhole still triggered a series of chain reactions!
Hundreds of rifts slashed straight toward Bai Kou!
Jiangnan's eyes widened. "Watch out!"
He forcefully pulled the void chain, accompanied by Bai Kou's startled cry!
Her body crashed into Jiangnan's embrace. With a muffled *thump*, Jiangnan's chest felt so tight he could barely breathe!
)`ﾛ´(
His vision was completely blocked!
Bai Kou had no time to blush!
(❅ᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌) "Dodge quickly!"
Because behind Jiangnan, a giant spatial rift was already devouring them!
Jiangnan gritted his teeth and muttered, "Time to go all out!"
With a teleport, he took Bai Kou and disappeared from the spot without a trace!
The next instant, the two fell into weightlessness, surrounded by pitch-black darkness, even losing the sense of time!
Spatial winds blew Jiangnan's Glazed Armor with a clanging sound!
This feeling Jiangnan knew all too well!
Teleporting into a dimensional rift—how ridiculous was that?
Looking up, he saw a massive rift rapidly drifting, with faint light of the sky shining through!
Jiangnan's expression turned fierce!
He teleported again, following the opening back into three-dimensional space!
But rifts slashed at them again from all directions, leaving absolutely no way out!
Bai Kou's eyes turned ice-white, and an extreme chill spread out!
*⁂❆(❅⁰̷̴～⁰̷̴❅)❆⁂*
"Thousand-Mile Freeze!"
Countless spatial rifts were frozen solid by endless frost, sealing the openings!
Jiangnan was stunned. Spatial rifts can be frozen too? Is Bai Kou really that strong?
But in just the moment they were frozen, all the frost was mercilessly destroyed by the rifts!
However, even that single moment was enough for Jiangnan!
...
"Cough—"
Jiangnan spat out a mouthful of old blood. After repeatedly dancing on the edge of death, Jiangnan and Bai Kou finally reached a relatively stable area!
Jiangnan had over a dozen wounds, blood pouring out as he frantically stuffed small ginseng into his mouth to heal!
(#˃᷄ཀ˂᷅)
Even Jiangnan was grateful to still be alive right now!
Meanwhile, Bai Kou's white dress was also slashed to tatters, large patches of snow-white skin exposed!
She was busy right now, using both hands to cover the tears in her clothes!
੧(❅ŏ﹏ŏ❅)୨
But the clothes were as torn as a fishnet stocking—there was no way to cover them!
"Stop covering! If everything ahead is this intense, we'll really die!"
The two were now in a calm area, but the spatial rifts ahead were dense to an astonishing degree!
Like dancing strands of hair, not even enough space to fit a human body through!
Just breaking in, they had encountered three Yu Shen's Tears and nearly died!
It was predictable that the deeper they went, the more Yu Shen's Tears there would be!
This made Jiangnan even want to eat a Little Cherry!
If he ate a Little Cherry in this situation, even the spatial rifts would probably make way for them!
But the problem was that the effect of Jiangnan's Word Spirit gum hadn't worn off yet. Who knows what would happen if he ate a Little Cherry now?
The system had seriously warned him not to eat them together!
In such a dangerous environment, Jiangnan didn't dare take that risk!
Yet Bai Kou stubbornly stared into the fragmented space!
(งᵒ̌～ᵒ̌)ง "We must go in! Otherwise..."
(❅ᵒ̌⌂ᵒ̌)☛ "It's right there! That's it! The end of the Shenyu Lingxu—the Blue Ice Wall!"
Bai Kou pointed excitedly at the very center of the fragmented space!
Following where she pointed, Jiangnan could vaguely see a huge blue ice wall standing in the distance!
Beneath the ice wall, an altar was faintly visible!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up, shining with renewed brilliance!
(๑¥﹃¥) "Let's go! What are spatial rifts anyway?"
He was instantly re-energized at the sight of treasure!
Bai Kou: ???
Weren't you just saying we'd die? Now you're all fired up again?
Since eating a Little Cherry was risky, he had another trick!
Jiangnan directly pulled out two Mouse Biscuits, ate one himself, and handed the other to Bai Kou!
"Here! Eat this! Then we can get in!"
Seeing Jiangnan eat, Bai Kou didn't hesitate and ate it too!
Then she made a strange expression!
With a *ripping* sound, Bai Kou, who was originally 1.8 meters tall, suddenly turned into a female giant 180 meters tall!
Her already tattered white dress couldn't handle that and instantly became tattered strips, fluttering in the wind!
Bai Kou's mouth hung open as she stared at her own hands, utterly shocked!
Below, Little Jiangnan's eyes bulged wide as he looked up at Bai Kou!
(๐꒪ͦ།꒨།꒪ͦ๐)
Every detail was laid out in plain view. Under Dali's Snow Dust, he witnessed the complete process of desertification of the land!
Two streams of blood spurted like raging dragons from his nose. Even the Small Whip couldn't handle it!
The powerful visual impact made Little Jiangnan take three steps back and quickly cover his nose!
He muttered blankly:
(⑉ԾლԾ⑉) "Th-this... now you really don't need to cover anymore!"
Bai Kou suddenly realized what was happening, blushed so hard she almost exploded, and let out a scream!
She reached out to cover herself!
Little Jiangnan shouted:
٩(๑•口•)۶ "Cover your face! There are too many places on your body to cover, but if you cover your face, no one will know it's you!"
In her panic, Bai Kou's brain short-circuited. She instinctively followed Jiangnan's advice and covered her pretty face!
Then she suddenly realized something was wrong!
˚‧º·(ﾉ)皿(ヾ)‧º·˚ "Bullshit! You just want to keep looking!"
Who wouldn't know it's me?
There are only the two of us here, okay?
[From Bai Kou, Resentment +1000!]
[From...]
Enraged, Bai Kou raised her foot to stomp Little Jiangnan!
Jiangnan's nose bled again!
(⊙།﹏།⊙) "Don't lift your leg! That makes it even clearer, doesn't it?"
Bai Kou: !!!
"Boom!"
Her snowy white foot stomped heavily on the ground, producing a loud rumble!
The next moment, ice armor formed over Bai Kou's body, covering her entirely. She glared angrily at Little Jiangnan!
(ꐦ͡’～͡’)
Jiangnan had also grown a hundred times taller!
Now he was a giant boy 120 meters tall!
His Hulk Brand Shorts remained sturdy!
Bai Kou's gaze could already kill!
[From Bai Kou, Resentment +1001!]
(❆`~´❆) "Is this what you call a plan? It was already hard enough to get through, and now we're this huge! How can we possibly break through?"
Jiangnan looked all-knowing!
(︶.̫︶⑉) "Once you get bigger, you'll naturally get smaller, right? Isn't that common sense?"
"Wouldn't a woman like you, over two thousand years old, know that?"
Bai Kou's eyes widened, her face red to the point of smoking. What do you mean by "once you get bigger, you'll naturally get smaller"? And "common sense"?
How can you say that kind of thing to a girl?
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ) "Pfft! You... you shameless!"
Jiangnan looked puzzled: (๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "I'm talking about the Mouse Biscuit? Where's the shameless part?"
"What did you think I meant?"
Bai Kou's expression froze, and she blushed even harder. She glared at Jiangnan in frustration!
Then she sat on the ground hugging her knees, turning her head away, not saying a word!
[From Bai Kou, Resentment +1001!]
[From...]
Her resentment points started refreshing like crazy. If not for needing Jiangnan to lead her in, she would have frozen him into an ice sculpture right now!
In the remaining stable space, Jiangnan also sat cross-legged on the ground. He took out a telescope, zoomed in a hundred times, and kept peering inside!
Waiting for the Mouse Biscuit's one-hour effect to pass. Everything that had been magnified a hundred times would shrink back by a hundred times!
Then he would become 1.2 centimeters tall!
Even the smallest space would be big enough to squeeze through. Jiangnan was best at finding cracks to slip through!
For this hour, all they could do was wait!
Jiangnan saw Bai Kou still refreshing her resentment points. He was worried that after leading her in, she might turn around and beat him up!
So he tried to change the subject!
(•︠～•︡) "Are you familiar with that Yu Shen? Is he strong?"
The mention of Yu Shen indeed diverted Bai Kou's attention!
"Very strong. Strong enough that I had to look up to his back!"
"So powerful that he cut down nine gods in a row on the Eternal Permafrost, making the world know that gods can also die. He single-handedly suppressed that era!"
"If not for the world sealing all spiritual energy, Yu Shen's achievements would never have stopped there!"
"He was undeniably the protagonist of that era! No one could contend with him. He crushed everything in his path! So strong that even the gods feared him!"
Jiangnan's mind went blank for a moment. He knew that the "gods" Bai Kou mentioned were the Bose entities of the Holy Star!
No one knew better than Jiangnan how troublesome Bose entities were!
Yu Shen killed nine of them by himself?
Holy crap!
As Bai Kou spoke, there was light in her eyes!
Then she turned her gaze to Jiangnan!
"And he... was also a spatial system!"
"If not for the world sealing all spiritual energy, his achievements would never have stopped there!"
"He could have left. He could have had infinite possibilities for the future! But he chose to stay and die on this soil that gave him life and raised him!"
"He bet everything—his life, his chance to win—all of it on the future!"
