I alone am the Honoured One!-Chapter 723: Aftermath of the Annhilation [2]

"J-Jing’er..."

Ji Shuang’s eyes shrank in utter horror as she hurriedly stood up and glanced around at the debris flying around in the space.

"Please, please, please..."

She muttered under her breath as she searched through the vast emptiness, but all she could see was just debris scattering around.

Her lips trembled as she took a step forward, and her gaze darted frantically between the floating wreckage.

’Huh...’

As realization dawned on her, her foot staggered, and she took a step back "N-No..."

Her vision blurred as tears welled up at the corners of her eyes, and she felt her throat tightening "Jing’er..."

A quiet sob escaped her lips as she stumbled back and sat on the ark’s floor beside Zhao Tian.

*fwoosh* At this time, she felt an energy spiraling behind her and hurriedly turned back to look at the beautiful woman.

Qian Shi’s eyes were filled with sorrow as she looked at Ji Shuang "Shuang..."

Looking at Qian Shi, Ji Shuang hurriedly scrambled to her feet and asked desperately "H-Her Grace... Jing’er."

Qian Shi could only lower her gaze and kneeled beside Zhao Tian "Forget about her..."

She bit her trembling lip and pushed her words out "She... is dead."

Huh? Ji Shuang lost the remaining hope she had and stared blankly at the space.

Meanwhile, Qian Shi glanced down at Zhao Tian, and her heart clenched in immeasurable pain seeing him in a state like this.

She reached out and tried to take the blindfold off him

But the moment she touched it-

*sizzle* A searing pain shot through her hand, forcing her to pull away instantly. Hm?

Before she could even make sense of it—

*FWOOOOSH*

The blindfold ignited.

Golden embers flickered along the fabric before it burned away, disintegrating into nothing.

The long, dark wings on his back also began to burn as the edges glowed before they too, vanished into embers.

Qian Shi carefully placed a hand over the deep, jagged cracks that ran across his body and used her light energy to heal him.

The yellow energy spread out through his body as it spiraled around the cracks in his body, attempting to mend the damage flesh.

But it was not enough; as the yellow energy dimmed, there were red scars all over his chest and to his shoulders.

A quiet sigh escaped Qian Shi’s lips as she gently adjusted him, carefully lifting his battered body into her lap.

Her touch was delicate and her fingers brushed against his cheek as she cradled him close.

"Darling..."

Meanwhile, Ji Shuang just sat there silently, as she still couldn’t bear the loss of Ji Shuang.

But she gritted her teeth and forced herself to move.

She walked to the control panel as her fingers hovered over the glowing interface for a moment before she finally reached out, gripping the handles.

With a blue streak, the ark dashed from there... moving back to Jade Eclipse Star.

...

On that day, a piece of news spread through the whole High Star cluster.

The vampiric Star, one of the High stars, has been reduced to atoms.

At first, whispers of the catastrophe spread like wildfire among traders, travelers, and mercenaries.

Many dismissed the rumors as exaggerated nonsense.

But as the hours passed, more reports flooded in, all confirming the same horrifying truth... the entire star had been completely annihilated.

Panic erupted across everywhere.

What could have possibly caused this?

Many immediately suspected a catastrophic weapon failure.

They all thought of the recent invasion of the Jade Eclipse Star, where the vampiric forces had retrieved an artifact... the Brynnhilder.

Did the vampires tamper with its unstable energy?

Or did they trigger their own destruction in a desperate attempt to harness its power?

The uncertainty was maddening.

The High Star Cluster had long been governed by a delicate balance of power, maintained through alliances, treaties, and mutual deterrence.

If such an event could occur without warning, then nothing was truly safe.

Recognizing the severity of the situation, the High Star Emperors... the rulers of the most powerful High Stars, immediately called for an emergency assembly.

Invitations were sent through encrypted channels, bypassing official couriers in favor of direct Void Transmissions. The urgency was clear; there was no time for protocol, no time for delay.

Within hours, the vast and glorious Concordance Hall was filled with the most powerful figures in the entire High Star Cluster.

It was a sight to behold... Emperors and queens who commanded entire civilizations arrived there.

What the hell happened?

...

Li Jia hurriedly rushed to the mansion and looked at Xia Shenyi, who was sitting silently on the couch, consumed in her own thoughts.

"Sister Shenyi..."

Hearing her voice, Xia Shenyi snapped out of her thoughts and raised her gaze to look at Li Jia, who had a panicked expression on her face.

With trembling eyes, Li Jia muttered "News... just came, the Vampiric Star has been destroyed..."

WHAT?

...

A day has already passed-

After what felt like an eternity, Zhao Tian’s white eyelashes fluttered open, and he felt a warmth surrounding him.

"Urgh..."

A trembling groan escaped his lips as a searing pain rippled through his mind.

He felt his dry throat struggling to say anything, and his vision was still hazy.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his lips and he opened his lips instinctively.

He felt a stream of water passing down his mouth and he quickly gulped, moistening his dry throat.

He again blinked, trying to adjust his vision, and turned his head.

Shadows merged and separated, shapes gaining form...

A bit slowly, his vision cleared, and he saw the beautiful woman with purple hair looking at him in concern.

"Tian..."

Her voice echoed inside his head, and he again looked at Ji Shuang sitting beside him on the bed.

As he tried to push himself up, Ji Shuang reacted immediately.

She carefully slid her arms around him and helped him lean back against the bed’s headrest.

With one hand, she adjusted the pillows behind him, ensuring his comfort.

Looking at him, a deep sigh of relief escaped her lips "Tian..."
