# Chapter 1403: He Must Make Him See the Future He Wished For! (Bonus Chapter)
Jiangnan looked at Yu Shen's skeletal remains and fell silent in the end!
Though they were just white bones, the figure before Jiangnan seemed infinitely towering!
What kind of unwavering will must Yu Shen have possessed to make such a decision?
To stake everything on a vague and intangible future!
To engrave curses on his bones, using his own remains to refine a driving source for the Star Ring!
Even in death, he was still burning for this era!
Spanning a thousand years, he still sat upright at the center of the formation!
Those nearly thirty thousand Tears of Yu Shen were his blood, sweat, and hope!
They were filled with Yu Shen's will!
For the first time, Jiangnan felt how heavy this thing was!
So heavy it was suffocating.
It was as if the ancestors had crossed endless time and passed the torch to him.
Bai Kou gently untied the ice bell from her ankle, her eyes moist.
"I left before Yu Shen fell, taking a Star Ring with me. I didn't want to watch someone so strong die in loneliness."
"Before the last trace of spiritual energy in the world dissipated, I used my spirit skill to freeze myself and that Star Ring together in the permafrost!"
"Waiting for the right moment to awaken and complete the unfinished tasks of the previous generation."
Jiangnan suddenly understood. So that was why Bai Kou had a Star Ring in her possession, and why she had already reached Dao Heaven when she emerged from the permafrost?
He then looked at the Blue Ice Wall behind the altar—there was a huge ring-shaped indentation on it!
That must have been the original position of the Star Ring left in the Oracle Lingxu!
Later, due to the space shattering, the extreme cold snowstorm caused by the out-of-control Silver Wing Wind Falcon...
For various reasons, the Star Ring shattered and scattered to different places?
Since Yu Shen's corpse had been absorbing spatial power from the Dimensional Gap here for years, was that why the space of the Oracle Lingxu became so unstable, with the space around the altar shattered like this?
Bai Kou walked up to Yu Shen's bones, tears streaming but forcing a smile!
"I've come to see you! I return what you gave me."
As she spoke, she tied that ice bell onto the wrist of Yu Shen's skeleton.
Bai Kou vaguely remembered that the last time she saw Yu Shen was also here.
Since he couldn't get up, Yu Shen smiled and tied the ice bell to Bai Kou's ankle.
"Go, and remember to return it to me the next time you come see me, so I'll know you came back..."
"By then, it might already be the future I wished for, right? But unfortunately, I won't get to see it. Don't cry. Forgive me for leaving first."
"Maybe when you wake up, the world will be so unfamiliar—seas change into mulberry fields, things are not what they used to be."
"But don't be afraid, you've never been alone. We're all watching over you from the heavens..."
"Go and see the future for me! The future era will surely be even more splendid!"
Bai Kou had forgotten many things, but she remembered clearly what Yu Shen had said to her!
It was engraved in her bones!
Bai Kou stood before Yu Shen's remains, biting her lower lip tightly, silently shedding tears.
That farewell had been a permanent separation between heaven and earth. But as promised, Bai Kou had come to see him!
Watching the Tears of Yu Shen fall from the dark eye sockets of his skeleton, Bai Kou's delicate fists clenched white, her eyes filled with unwavering determination!
"I, Bai Kou, swear! I will make this future as you wish!"
Jiangnan watched Bai Kou's profile from the side.
In that moment, Jiangnan felt some admiration for Bai Kou.
Carrying on Xiao Di's legacy and Yu Shen's promise, she had lived alone with the hopes of two eras until now.
Sometimes, the one who survives is the one who suffers the most, isn't it?
Bai Kou wiped her tears and looked at Yu Shen's arms.
A long blade lay across his knees!
The blade was sheathed, entirely made of crystal material. Jiangnan recognized it clearly—the same material as the Star Chart and the Void Nail!
Extremely precious; for this thing, Igor had even been harassing Odin endlessly!
This thing could inflict real damage on Bose-forms!
Jiangnan had once used the Star Chart to smash off Ruiya's arm!
Through the sheath, Jiangnan could even see the blade hidden inside!
The blade was long and narrow, the edge chipped like a sawtooth!
Jiangnan's scalp tingled. He knew how hard the crystal material was—only a Small Stool could break it!
Blackstone was nothing compared to it!
What kind of intense battle could have chipped the blade to pieces like a saw?
Jiangnan also noticed nine star marks lined up on the sheath!
And these star marks were exactly the symbol of the Holy Star: ✡.
They weren't neat, as if carved casually.
Bai Kou seemed to notice Jiangnan's gaze on the sheath.
"Are you curious about what these star marks mean?"
Jiangnan nodded like a pecking chicken.
Bai Kou gently traced the star marks: "Every time Yu Shen slew a god, he would carve a star mark on the sheath..."
"The nine star marks on this sheath are his achievements!"
Jiangnan swallowed hard. Was he really that fierce?
Humans had always been as insignificant as ants in the eyes of Bose-forms!
But Yu Shen was strong enough to hunt Bose-forms!
So what if they were ants? So what if they were gods?
A strong ant could also slay gods!
The somewhat sloppy nine star marks, in Jiangnan's eyes, were an even greater roar of Yu Shen's defiance against fate!
Bai Kou gently tried to lift the blade, but Yu Shen's skeleton held it tightly, with no intention of letting go.
Bai Kou gave a bitter smile and shook her head.
Jiangnan took a deep breath and bowed deeply from a distance to Yu Shen's remains.
Few people could make Jiangnan bow, but Yu Shen definitely counted as one.
"I have received your will. I, Jiangnan, will definitely go to that moon!"
Then he glanced at Bai Kou, and she nodded.
Only then did Jiangnan go to collect all the Tears of Yu Shen accumulated over the years and put them into his Alternate Dimension!
There were 34,726 in total. Bai Kou had no place to store them, so Jiangnan held them for her for now.
After they got out, he would give her every single drop she deserved.
No matter how much Jiangnan loved treasures, he wouldn't short Bai Kou on this matter.
The Tears of Yu Shen were not just treasures; they were the will of the ancient Gusu era!
Since he had taken them, it meant he had to carry out that will.
After all, Huaxia's moon landing was, in a sense, inheriting the will of Gusu.
If it weren't for the moon landing, Jiangnan wouldn't have taken a single tear.
A gentleman loves wealth but takes it in the right way.
Jiangnan had his own code of conduct.
Just after collecting the Tears of Yu Shen, Jiangnan looked at Bai Kou.
"What about this place? What do you plan..."
Before he could finish, Jiangnan's expression changed drastically. The spatial cracks around them crazily surged toward the altar!
Jiangnan: !!!
Over thirty thousand Tears of Yu Shen piled together could emit a thick spatial power, stabilizing the entire space.
But now that the tears were taken, there was nothing to stabilize the space, so it began to collapse completely.
"Boom!"
A rumbling sound like thunder erupted. The entire space could no longer withstand the damage and shattered like a mirror!
It collapsed into a massive hole dozens of kilometers in diameter.
Directly facing the dimensional gap, this time there was even no place to stand.
No place to hide!
Bai Kou's face turned pale as her gaze locked onto the Blue Ice Wall.
It was the end of the Oracle Lingxu.
"Use your strongest spatial spirit skill to attack the Blue Ice Wall! Hurry!"
Jiangnan was stunned: "What?"
What good would attacking the Blue Ice Wall do?
Bai Kou urged anxiously: "Just do it! Attack!"
Without hesitation, Jiangnan condensed a Rift-Saw Blade.
The sixty-meter Rift-Saw Blade let out a deafening roar. Jiangnan hurled it toward the Blue Ice Wall.
An amplification curse array suddenly appeared in front, and the blade passing through it swelled to nearly two hundred meters.
It struck heavily, sending countless spatial blades exploding in all directions.
"Boom!"
The Blue Ice Wall was violently slashed open, emitting a thick spatial fluctuation.
Behind the ice wall was actually a thin spatial membrane!
And now that membrane was directly torn open into a massive rift by the powerful Rift-Saw Blade.
Behind the rift, the ice wall crumbled, and a new Lingxu appeared before Jiangnan's eyes.
Jiangnan: ???
"Holy crap? What's going on?"
"How is there another Lingxu?"
But there was no time to think. If they didn't leave now, they would really fall into the dimensional gap.
Jiangnan pulled Bai Kou into his arms and teleported instantly, vanishing from the Oracle Lingxu.
They suddenly appeared in another Lingxu.
It was still a frozen wasteland, but dead silent.
The air was filled with rich spatial energy, giving Jiangnan a feeling of coming home.
Countless massive icebergs floated in the sky, some of the iceberg peaks were sheared off, as if a fierce battle had taken place not long ago.
It gave Jiangnan a feeling of returning to Void Sea.
Jiangnan was dazed for a moment, then teleported with Bai Kou to the top of a flat-topped iceberg.
Looking back, he saw a huge rift on the Blue Ice Wall that he had just cut.
It was rapidly closing.
Jiangnan urgently asked: "We escaped, but what about Yu Shen's remains? If they fall into the dimensional rift, we'll never get them back!"
Bai Kou bit her lower lip, her face pale, her eyes unwilling.
"Just... just let it be. Sitting in meditation for a thousand years, Yu Shen is very tired. It's time he rests."
Jiangnan's expression turned fierce, his eyes bloodshot.
"This isn't fair! Yu Shen staked everything on the future, waited a thousand years, hoping to see the future he wished for!"
"Now the moon remains unclaimed, the world has not yet shined, his wish remains unfulfilled. To let Yu Shen vanish in the dimensional gap like this? Absolutely not!"
"The future Yu Shen bet everything on—I must let him see it!"
"Wait here for me! I'll bring him back right now!"
Bai Kou stared blankly at Jiangnan, suddenly stunned.
Then she anxiously called out to him.
"That's the dimensional gap! Do you want to die? Don't go!"
But it was already too late!
Jiangnan's entire body radiated intense spatial fluctuations.
"Spatial... Displacement!"
