"Wow, this thing is hot!" Xiao Meng exclaimed as she shook her hand vigorously. The Golden Runes in her palm flickered like fireflies, emitting a faint warmth reminiscent of freshly baked sweet potatoes, accompanied by a hint of an unusual sweet aroma.
Unable to resist, she leaned in closer to sniff it. Hmm, it smells like roasted chestnuts!
Wait, now is not the time to be thinking about food!
Xiao Meng snapped back to reality. What on earth are these Golden Runes?
Meanwhile, Qingmei was in a frenzy. She finally unearthed an ancient book that looked older than a grandmother's foot binding cloth from a pile of aged herbs and moldy tomes—The Star Chart.
The pages were yellowed and curled, exuding a strong musty odor mixed with an unknown herbal fragrance that smelled… well, it was just intoxicating!
Qingmei carefully turned the pages, afraid that she might accidentally damage this precious artifact.
"Awesome! I found it!" Qingmei pointed at a passage in the book, her voice trembling with excitement. "These runes… they are actually the key used by the Ancient Priestess to open the portal through time and space!"
Xiao Meng leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, the swirling lines on the page matched her Golden Runes perfectly!
It was like a copy-paste situation!
Could it be… could she be the reincarnation of an Ancient Priestess?
Just thinking about it made her a bit thrilled!
Just as the two were preparing to continue their research, an unexpected event occurred!
The crucial page of The Star Chart suddenly… ignited spontaneously!
Flames erupted fiercely, releasing a pungent sulfur smell that startled Xiao Meng and Qingmei into retreating quickly.
At that moment, a figure floated down from the top of the Herb Pavilion with astonishing speed, as if moving at double speed.
The newcomer wore a flowing white robe that gave off an ethereal aura, with long hair cascading down like a scene from a historical drama featuring a handsome man.
His wide sleeves fluttered slightly, revealing a glimpse of a Bronze Star Disk that sparkled with mysterious starlight.
"The Witch Bloodline should not recklessly touch the core code of the Three Life Era," he said in a deep, magnetic voice, carrying an imperceptible warning that sent shivers down Xiao Meng's spine.
Who… who is this deity?
Before Xiao Meng could process what was happening, Sunshine, who had been standing nearby, suddenly clutched his chest and began to cough violently.
Crimson blood seeped through his fingers, standing out starkly against his white clothing. At the same time, the inconspicuous star-shaped scar on his left eye began to flicker with an eerie light. What was happening?!
Xiao Meng was utterly bewildered. What day was it? Why were there so many strange occurrences?
Just then, the Time Sandglass began to act up again! It spun wildly, emitting a buzzing sound reminiscent of an old tractor. The chilling mechanical laughter of Black-hearted Grandpa actually... materialized!
Tendrils of Black Tentacles spread out from the laughter, waving in the air like the tentacles of an Octopus, releasing a nauseating stench. Xuan Wei Zi's expression changed as he quickly summoned the Bronze Star Disk in his hand. The Star Chart instantly expanded, forming a translucent barrier that kept the black tentacles at bay.
However, the strength of those tentacles was astonishingly powerful, and they forcefully tore a gap in the barrier! During the struggle, a portion of Xuan Wei Zi's sleeve was ripped away, revealing... revealing... mechanical joints?!
"What the hell! This... this..." Xiao Meng pointed at Xuan Wei Zi's exposed mechanical joints, speechless in shock. Xuan Wei Zi remained unfazed, casting a calm glance at Xiao Meng. "Now, be quiet." Before Xiao Meng could process the impact of discovering a "mechanical Taoist," Qingmei suddenly dashed over and forcefully shoved the moldy Star Chart into the Time Sandglass!
"What are you doing?!" Xiao Meng exclaimed, feeling her heart nearly leap out of her chest. That thing was a crucial clue; how could it be carelessly stuffed away? Had Qingmei also been infected by Black-hearted Grandpa's "madness virus"?
However, even crazier things were yet to come. Golden runes erupted from the hourglass like they had been injected with adrenaline, instantly swelling into a dazzling golden barrier that enveloped everyone within. The golden light was blinding, akin to several hundred-watt light bulbs, causing Xiao Meng to instinctively shield her eyes.
A buzzing roar filled her ears, like thousands of bees holding a concert in her mind.
At the same time, a powerful suction force emanated from beneath Xiao Meng's feet. She felt as if she were dust caught in a vacuum cleaner, helplessly being pulled toward the hourglass.
“Xiao Meng!” Sunshine's voice came from a distance, tinged with urgency and concern.
However, Xiao Meng could not respond; it felt as though something was blocking her throat, rendering her voiceless.
“Don’t look at me! Go find Teacher Lin for the real—” Qingmei’s voice sounded intermittent amidst the golden light, like an old radio with poor reception.
Before she could finish her sentence, she was drawn into the Time-Space Rift by an overwhelming force, disappearing without a trace.
“Qingmei!!!” Xiao Meng cried out in anguish, helplessly watching her vanish before her eyes.
The golden light gradually faded, and the roaring sound diminished.
Xiao Meng felt as if she had just been spun out of a washing machine; she was dizzy and weak all over.
She struggled to open her eyes and found herself still standing in place, though everything around her had changed slightly.
The hourglass no longer spun but lay quietly there, and to her astonishment, a photograph emerged at its base—an image of a young woman with gentle yet resolute features; it was unmistakably Teacher Lin in her youth!
What was happening?! What connection did Teacher Lin have with all of this?
Suddenly, a piercing siren echoed from afar, growing louder and clearer as it approached.
That sound… it resembled the sirens of the Time-Space Administration Bureau from a sci-fi movie!
Before Xiao Meng could ponder further, she saw a metallic limb slowly crawling out from the Time-Space Rift.
The limb glimmered with a cold metallic sheen, covered in intricate patterns and symbols that exuded a strong sense of technology.
Then came a second limb, followed by a third… more and more mechanical limbs emerged from the rift until they assembled into a… a Mechanical Warrior!
This… wasn’t that Erin?! How had she ended up like this?
Erin’s mechanical eyes glowed red as they fixed intently on Xiao Meng, and in a chilling voice, she declared, “Target locked, preparing for elimination.”
“Elimination? Eliminate what?” Xiao Meng instinctively took a step back, filled with fear and confusion.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind her: “Xiao Meng, don’t be afraid; I’m here to protect you.”
Sunshine… Sunshine had arrived!
Xiao Meng turned to see Sunshine holding a shimmering sword that sparkled like stars, its tip aimed directly at Erin…
