Chapter 900: Departure
The 4 beasts arrived close to Ning and saw the bloody tiger standing in front of an unhurt Ning.
It didn’t take the 4 beasts very long to reach a conclusion on their own.
“Who are these folks?” Ning couldn’t help but ask.
A snake quickly flew next to White Depth Field and started healing him with his water skills. “We came as soon as we could. Were you fighting all alone?” he asked.
“Yes, I was,” White Depth field said. But he couldn’t bring himself to say that it was just a normal bout, nothing serious.
“Who is that person?” the bird asked from the side.
Ning narrowed his eyes when he finally realized who these beasts were. ‘Ah, they’re from that land,’ he thought. He had remained in their world for a hundred thousand years, but he had only ever lived near the tigers.
The snake, bird, and the rest were the other beasts from the world that Ning simply didn’t bother visiting.
They were of the same status as the tiger and were thus some of the most well-known families in the whole world.
Before Ning could explain that he wasn’t here for trouble, the beasts immediately started attacking him.
‘Well, whatever,’ he thought and fought back. He didn’t even try as much and the beasts were already getting hurt
The beasts were bloody and battered, and Ning felt a little bad about it all, but he couldn’t help but put on a snarky little smile to chide them even more.
The four beasts were starting to get scared that they were going to die.
“Guys, let me handle this,” the tiger said.
“You can—”
“Just leave, I will handle everything here. You don’t have to worry about anything,” the tiger said.
The beasts paused a little and decided to trust him. “Good luck,” they said and left.
“Should I heal them?” Ning wondered. “Well, the snake looks like it can do that.”
“They finally left,” the tiger said. “I think they misunderstood your intention and believed you were here to cause trouble.”
“Hmm, I can see why they would think that,” Ning said.
“Anyway, you are truly very strong, master,” the tiger said.
“Of course, he would be,” Black Halo removed his concealment and spoke. “If the Sage of Ten Thousand treasures, the one named Godkiller was weak, then you would never find anyone strong in this world.”
“Godkiller?” the tiger’s eyes went wide. “He’s supposed to be dead.”
“Yeah, I faked my death to get away from it all,” Ning said. He turned to look around and saw Black Halo giving him a knowing look.
Ning’s eyes narrowed before he turned around toward the tiger and sighed. ‘It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy,’ he thought.
“Depth Field,” Ning called. “I’m leaving for my universe. Do you want to come with me?”
“Me? Leave with you?” the Tiger asked. “Is where you are going too far away?”
“Very far away,” Ning said. “This is perhaps the only time anyone from your world would make contact with a different universe. No one else would ever get such a chance.”
White Depth Field couldn’t help but be interested when he heard that he was going to be the very first to bring in the other universe.
But…
“I’m sorry, master,” White Depth Field. “I cannot leave with you. I have a family now that I can’t leave.”
Ning was a little surprised at the refusal. He gave a side glance towards Black Halo who showed no expression and sighed as he turned back. “Of course, I wouldn’t want you to miss any years with your family.”
“Miss any years? You say it as if I will only miss a few years,” White Depth Field said.
“Of course. I wasn’t going to keep you on the other side always. I would just find you a way back if you went along with me,” Ning said.
“Wait, I can come back?” White Depth Field’s eyes widened in unhidden glee.
‘Ah, here’s the future Black Halo was talking about,’ Ning thought. “Yes, I can get you back. At most, you will miss about 10 thousand years.”
“Then I want to go, master,” White Depth Field said.
“You’re fine now? Didn’t you have some responsibility or something to this land?” Ning asked.
“I always stayed lowkey because I didn’t want any responsibility anyway,” White Depth Field said.
“You may not want responsibility over anything, but you will find the most important responsibility of this entire world thrust upon you,” Black Halo said from the side.
“Well, then get ready, we will leave any minute now,” Ning said.
“Wait, I need to tell my wives what I’m doing,” White Depth Field said.
“Sure, but let’s make it quick,” Ning said. “We only have a few minutes.”
Ning grabbed White Depth Field and teleported him to his room where the Lynx, his first wife, was sitting in worry.
“Honey!” White Depth Field went to her and told her everything.
“You’re leaving for 10 thousand years?” the Lynx asked with shock. “What about—”
“I’ve thought about it,” the tiger said. “You should be the one to lead this place.”
The Lynx thought for a moment and sighed. “I’ve never seen you be this excited about anything. Go, I won’t stop you,” she said.
“Tell your sisters too. I don’t have the time to meet them all,” the tiger said.
“Okay, go on,” Lynx said. “But you should go meet your daughter before you leave.”
“Ah, right,” the tiger thought. “Can we go over to my daughter? She got married a few centuries ago, and we haven’t heard from her since. I’ve been worried about her as well.”
“Your daughter huh?” Ning asked the system to find his daughter. “You have one in the other continent, is that it?”
“Yes,” White Depth Field said. “That’s her.”
Ning grabbed the tiger and teleported again. This time, he arrived in a well-decorated room with a female cat laying on the bed.
When the two of them arrived, she jerked up in a hurry and got ready to attack. However, when she recognized who it was, her face went from anger and fear to one full of smiles.
“Father? How did you—”
“My daughter!” White Depth Field went ahead and hugged his daughter. “How are you doing?”
“I’m doing very well father,” the cat said. “Why are you here?”
“I am leaving for some time, so I came to meet you before I leave,” he said.
“Leaving? For how long?” she asked.
“Ten thousand years,” he said. “Don’t worry, you will be surprised how quickly time passes.”
“You will be gone for so long?” the daughter’s eyes drooped in sadness.
“We will meet after we return,” White Depth Field said. “I should go now.”
“Wait!” she spoke suddenly. “Before you go, there’s someone you should meet.” She went over to the bed and removed the blanket to reveal a small kitten, sleeping without a care in the world.
White Depth Field saw the little kitten and couldn’t help but be surprised. “Is… is she?” his face was blank.
“Your granddaughter,” she said.
“Ha… haha… I’m a grandfather now?” White Depth Field couldn’t help but smile with a face full of year.
“Here, hold her.” She pulled up the kitten with her Qi and brought her next to White Depth Field.
White Depth Field immediately took a human form, one with white robes and golden hair, and held the little kitten in her hands.
“Master, look. It’s my granddaughter,” he showed her to Ning. “She’s so cute.”
“She indeed is,” Ning said as he looked at the little cat. He thought for a bit and waved his hands. Immediately, 10 drops of blood floated next to Ning.
“Is that?” White Depth Field’s eyes went wide.
“It is my gift to your granddaughter,” he said and sent the blood into the little kitten. “It will remain dormant in her until she starts cultivating.”
“What’s going on?” the mother asked.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine,” White Depth Field said. “In fact, it’s more than fine.” Only he understood the severity of the situation that had just happened.
“If she wishes for it, this little girl will now have the power to become a great ruler,” he said.
“Oh,” the girl said.
“We should leave,” Ning said.
After a few more moments of looking at his granddaughter, White Depth Field gave her back to her mother. “I will leave for now, but I will come back soon.”
With that, the two of them left and arrived back at the place with no Qi. “Don’t change back to a tiger. I don’t think the people of earth can handle seeing a giant tiger like you roaming around.”
“Okay,” White Field Depth said. He turned towards Black Halo and said, “I think I understand what you meant about me having responsibility thrust on me now. I saw my granddaughter.”
Black Halo shook his head. “No, you don’t.”
Ning reached into the space in him. Not the interdimensional storage space, but the empty space he had created with the space stones.
That was where he had stored all the various Space Stones he had found in the last couple of hundred thousand years. Until now, he had gathered so many that it was large enough to be twice the size of the Space Stones he had used.
He brought one out from within himself and let the system use it. The system tapped into the Space Stone, empowering it to use the space within it to tear a hole in the fabric of space.
The world seemed to cave in on itself as the portal opened, and on the other side, Ning could see bright daylight with trees growing.
“Let’s go,” he said and stepped in.
