Limitless Chapter 544

He looked at the elder, then at Chu Yu, murmuring, "But no matter what it's hard to think that this would happen so quickly... Sealed away for millions of years! This is almost like the work of gods. The higher being in our human realm is…... really something. It felt like a blink of an eye to me, yet countless years have passed by just like that. A pity that it did not occur to that higher being that after the seal was released, we…...would instead be left in a state that's neither human nor ghost."

There was silence in the hall.

This news was too surprising, and too heavy to bear.

At this moment, Xu Xiao Xian reined in her mischievous side and looked towards Chu Yu. She asked, "Is there any way you could turn them back into normal people?"

Chu Yu's brows creased slightly as he thought about it.

Xu Xiao Xian spoke again, "The old man from the Jing Po Glaciers is a creature of Yin.... Isn't he still out and about in the human realm now?"

With a bitter laugh, Chu Yu replied, "Creatures of Yin are also a kind of living spirit from the three realms. It's a known way of existence to us. But we don't even know what form these people exist in... Are they creatures of Yin? Or are they something else?"

Xu Xiao Xian could not help but fall silent at his words.

"So if that's the case, we won't be able to leave this restaurant ever again?" A young woman asked, unable to hold back her tears.

Opposite her sat a handsome young man, who took her hand into his in silent comfort.

Someone in the crowd laughed coldly, "Isn't it good if you can never leave? Aren't you afraid your husband will find out that you're secretly meeting a lover here and kill you two with a strike of his sword?"

The young woman snatched back her hand from the young man's grasp as if she had been electrocuted and sat there sobbing without a word.

The seeds of anxiety began to sprout within the hearts of everyone in the hall.

After realising that all this was real and that they would not be able to return to their original lives, almost no one could maintain their cool.

"There is…...something we could try, just that..." Chu Yu frowned and looked at the elder, then at the people. "I cannot guarantee that it will work."

"Brother, if there is anything that can be done, just say the word." A large, middle-aged man stood up and walked shakily to Chu Yu. He bared his teeth and spoke, "That drunkard who rushed out and died was a good friend of mine. We were inseparable ever since we were young boys. Now that he's gone, there isn't much meaning in living on for me either. So, I can be your guinea pig..."

Chu Yu gazed intently at this person, "If this fails, you could disappear from this realm just like that."

The big man laughed, and a strong smell of alcohol wafted from his body. "I've known women at thirteen, carried a sword to slaughter my enemies at fifteen, become a True Lord at twenty, attained the status of Divine Lord at thirty and entered the Legendary Emperor realm at seventy. I'm a hundred and forty four this year, and I've entered the Saint Realm! Compared to a normal person, I've had an incomparable wealth of experiences. And now that my friend is no longer around, I have no regrets even if I were to die this very moment."

With another laugh, he looked at Chu Yu, "Besides, if I'm only going to be trapped in this goddamned building for the rest of time, then is there really a difference whether I live or die? Brother, if you have any solution, just test it out on me. I... am not afraid of death!"

"You truly are a great man!" Chu Yu praised from the bottom of his heart, giving the man a thumbs up.

Afterwards, Chu Yu wasted no words and cast a spell of the three realms technique on the man.

"Just this will do?" The man glanced at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu nodded.

"Good! If this fails and I disappear, then there really is nothing much to say; If this works, I'll treat you to a drink! And if you ever need help with anything in the future, just call upon me!" The man declared. Laughing heartily, he pushed the door open and walked out.

He may have walked out in a carefree manner, but the people in the hall all felt their hearts stop for a moment. They were incredibly nervous!

This concerned the future of everyone at the scene!

If this failed, then there would be no future to speak of for this group of people in the hall.

Just like what the big man had said earlier, if they were to be trapped in this building forever, then what difference would it make if they were dead or alive?

No, death would probably even be welcome in this state!

But should this work, it would mean that... all of them who had lived in an era from millions of years ago could now successfully enter the world of today!

What did that mean then?

Would that not be like immortality?

At this moment the big man was already outside.

His body had not disappeared at all.

He stood at the door of the restaurant in a bit of a daze.

Indeed, the man had said that he had seen past the trappings of life and death, and that there was nothing to hold on to in life any longer now that his friend was gone.

But while one could still live, who would really be alright with disappearing from this world?

Even with reincarnation, once one had been reincarnated, who would remember the people around them in their next lives?

Neither was there knowledge of one's past lives nor did anyone know anything about their next lives.

Just how many people could retain their consciousness and wisdom throughout the process of reincarnation in this world?

Did they all not just live in the moment then?

"Hahahahaha!" The big man stood outside laughing wildly, his arms outstretched. In this moment, he felt as though the whole world was his.

Boom!

The hall of the restaurant had blown apart in an instant!

There was a look of utter joy on everyone's faces.

The way they gazed at Chu Yu was as if... they were beholding a statue of that Great Emperor they spoke of.

He had the respect worthy of a god!

This was truly the respect accorded to a god!

Who was this young man from the future?

No, they could not call this the future, he was from this era!

It was them who had…...been through the millions of years to see the world of today!

In a blink of an eye, they had been transported through the ever-shifting sands of time. It was almost as if they had risen from the dead to live again!

"Can- Can I go out and see too?" The delicately pretty little girl next to the elder blinked up at Chu Yu through big, sparkling eyes, her face pleading.

Now, the strangers were no longer bad guys.

"I'll go first." The eighteen or nineteen year old youth spoke, his face calm and stable.

"Why? I want to go first!" The little girl was miffed.

Though smart and alert, the little girl was too young to understand her brother's intentions of looking out for her safety.

The elder looked at the two of them, and a kindly smile appeared on his face. "I'll go first." He said.

At this, the little girl was even more displeased. Even her grandfather, who normally indulged her, was fighting her for this opportunity. Those big sparkling eyes of hers began to glisten with tears as she felt wronged.

Then, Xu Xiao Xian scooped her up in her arms and gently pinched her soft, powdery cheeks. Laughing, she said, "Little girl, your brother and grandfather are afraid that something bad will happen to you!"

"Evil older sister, don't pinch me!" The little girl huffed and glared at Xu Xiao Xian. But then she turned and asked nervously, "Is that true? Then will they disappear?"

"No they won't! All of you are going to be alright!" Xu Xiao Xian pinched the girl's small cheeks again.

Mm, what a nice feeling.

After Chu Yu cast his spell, the elder walked out breezily.

There was no problem!

At this, everyone in the restaurant could not help but start cheering.

There were brilliant smiles to be seen everywhere.

For some unknown reason, Chu Yu suddenly felt as if he had fulfilled some prophecy.

It was as if he had traversed eons of time just to fulfill a promise he had once made.

He recalled Chi You telling him that he was the Great Emperor.

It all seemed increasingly ridiculous to Chu Yu. "How could this be?" He thought to himself.

Amongst the people in the restaurant, only the young woman and the young man with her were not as excited about recent developments.

Their secret meeting here had already been exposed by the people around them. If this sort of news got out, she was afraid that...

The young woman could not help but shudder as she thought about it.

It was not like her husband was exceptionally skilled, but he was still a practitioner of the Legendary Emperor realm.

And her lover was only just a mere True Lord.

The more the young woman thought, the more afraid she got. The young man sitting opposite her looked troubled as well. He had not thought that their secret meeting here would have been exposed by the others.

He naturally knew the husband of this woman.

He was scary. Even if there were to be ten of him fighting together, he would still be no match for the woman's husband.

If only... Her husband could just simply die!

It would be best if he could just step out immediately after the seal had been broken, then he would disappear completely.

These were sinister thoughts, but the frightened young man had no other choice but to hope for something like this to happen.

Suddenly, the young woman turned to gaze at him gently, "I don't regret anything."

"Hm?" The young man was taken aback.

The young woman smiled and continued speaking, "You gave me something he couldn't give me at all. The days I spent with you were the happiest in my life. Truth to be told, if I could, I would be willing to spend eternity with you."

At the young woman's words, silence instantly fell over the previously cheering people in the hall.

The young woman stood up, her expression calm. Smiling, she said softly, "I was thinking, what exactly does forever mean? It never occurred to me that millions of years could just pass like that in a moment. Perhaps this is a kind of forever!"

After she spoke, she dashed out and disappeared in an instant.

She had been reduced to nothing.

The people had watched the scene unfold in shock.

It was contemptuous of her to have cheated on her husband behind his back.

Yet one still felt for her last words and her final decision to forgo life despite there being hope of living on.

Chu Yu had wanted to stop her. But in the end, he only let out a sigh.

The idea of ending her own life had sprouted in the young woman's mind from the very moment she had been discovered and exposed by the others.

Even if she had been able to live through this moment, she would most likely have chosen death in the end.

The young man had sat there in a daze as though he had lost all sense. It was only at the moment when the young woman disappeared that he had suddenly shouted, "No, I'll take you to..."

Regrettably, he was too late.

Everything had been reduced to nothingness.

The big man who had gone out earlier came back in. His eyes flashed coldly as he spoke, "She dared to die for love, why aren't you going along with her?"

"I... I don't want to! I don't want to die!" The handsome young man's face was the picture of weakness.

"To hell with it, what good is it if someone like you continues living on in this world? Seducing a good woman, yet not taking responsibility for her. You should just die!" The big man grabbed the handsome young man and dragged him out.

"No, don't kill me... Don't kill me! I- I'm willing to be your servant..." The handsome young man howled, tears streaking down his face.

The big man remained unmoved however, and he threw the man out.

The young man's howls were cut off in an instant as he disappeared into thin air.

Then, the big man turned to look at Chu Yu, an embarrassed smile on his face. "Sorry about that my dear brother, I can't stand looking at this sort of trash."

Chu Yu nodded, "You did a good thing. I can't stand it as well."
