Zhao Tianling was flying around when she suddenly slowed down.
Her nose twitched slightly, and her expression grew serious. "Demon god bloodline? What is that freak doing here?" she wondered aloud.
"Could it be that he’s here for me?" The thought crossed her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. There was no way the demon god could have known she would end up in this place, even with his power. That was simply impossible.
Unless it was someone else pursuing her. When this thought entered her mind, she saw a vision of a woman walking through snow. The woman slowly turned around to look at her, and Tianling’s face paled.
"No, I shouldn’t..." she whispered urgently.
She quickly pressed her hand against her forehead. If she thought about that person, it would be game over. Without hesitation, she erased all memories from the past minute, wiping them completely from her mind.
She breathed heavily, looking around in confusion. "What happened?" she wondered, placing her hand on her head again. "I wiped my memories..." She realized, and her expression became serious. "Then I should leave this place immediately," she thought as she shot into the sky.
As she flew through the air, she reflected that this place was far more dangerous than she had initially thought. To think she would resort to wiping her own memories.
This meant that the threat was beyond serious. She used a mind technique to force herself to focus, deliberately avoiding any attempt to remember or figure out what she had erased.
At least not now.
As she flew, she suddenly noticed something in the distance.
"Hmm? What’s that? A huge mushroom? Wait, mushroom?" Her expression instantly changed to pure terror, and she spun around, flying desperately in the opposite direction.
But it was already too late.
"Dammit, this body is too weak," she cursed as she felt the shockwave from the explosion racing toward her.
"Dammit, it’s been so long since I’ve gotten another chance. I won’t let it end like this," she thought with determination.
Dark miasma erupted from her body. Her skin began to heat up and bubble violently, then started twisting and writhing until it became completely fluid.
Her entire body rolled itself into a tight ball, the dark miasma hardening around her like armor, forming a protective shell.
At that exact moment, the shockwave from the explosion caught up to her. The blast tore through the area, completely disintegrating some trees on the spot while others were uprooted and hurled through the air like missiles.
...
As the aftermath of the blast finally settled, a black sphere rose slowly from the rubble.
The hardened shell developed hairline cracks that spread across its surface before splitting open.
From within the cocoon, Tianling emerged and collapsed onto the ground, crawling forward on trembling hands and knees.
"I survived," she thought in relief.
"What was that anyway? I’ve spent almost all my remaining power."
"Dammit, I’ll need to go into hibernation for at least another thousand years."
As her crawling became slower and weaker, she managed a tired smile. "Well, no matter. I’ve waited a million years, what’s a couple thousand more?" she said aloud, her voice growing fainter. "It’s just a pity about the heavenly dao body..."
