Wasting No Time

As fate would have it, a crack in reality appeared, catching Squad 5 off guard. However, instead of dwelling on the sudden departure, they chose to bid Kate a positive farewell. With smiles on their faces, they exchanged heartfelt goodbyes, expressing gratitude for the time they had shared.

Meanwhile, as Kate fell into the black abyss, she looked back at her team with a serene smile. Though her journey in this world was coming to an end, the memories she had created with Squad 5 would remain with her forever. Despite the uncertainty of what awaited her on the other side, Kate felt a sense of peace knowing that she had forged strong bonds and left a lasting impact during her time in this universe. With hope in her heart and determination in her soul, she embraced the unknown, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

The squad pondered over Kate's departure, acknowledging the significant impact she had on their missions. Bronya remarked on the increased ease of their tasks with Kate's presence, while Fu Hua observed the telltale signs of a cultivator's aura lingering in the air.

Mei and Kiana reflected on Kate's character, noting the trust and determination she exhibited. Fu Hua cautioned about the dangers of the cultivation world and the necessity to remain vigilant, even in the face of newfound camaraderie. However, Kiana remained optimistic, emphasizing Kate's positive influence and the motivation she instilled in them to strive for greater strength.

As they resolved to honor Kate's memory and continue their endeavors with renewed determination, a sense of solidarity and purpose enveloped Squad 5, propelling them forward on their journey.

As Su Yan made her way toward Kate's temporary residence, her steps slowed to a halt as she noticed a sudden crack forming in the sky above. The sight was so unexpected that she couldn't help but stare, her mind racing with questions. What could cause such a phenomenon? Was it some kind of celestial event, or perhaps a manifestation of powerful Technique? Su Yan's curiosity mingled with a hint of apprehension as she continued to watch, her senses on high alert for any further developments.

Su Yan's voice echoed with concern as she witnessed Kate's sudden descent from the cracked sky, her surprise evident in her tone. Rushing over to where Kate had landed, Su Yan's worry deepened as she saw Kate on the ground.

"Kate! What happened? Are you alright?" Su Yan asked urgently, kneeling down beside her to check for any signs of injury. The unexpected appearance of the crack and Kate's fall had left her with a whirlwind of questions, but for now, her primary concern was Kate's well-being.

Kate stood up, brushing herself off, and smiled reassuringly at Su Yan. "Yes, I'm fine, thanks, Ms. Su," she replied, her tone calm despite the dramatic entrance.

"What are you doing here?" Kate asked, curious about Su Yan's presence near her temporary house.

"I was just coming to check on you," Su Yan said, still looking a bit shaken from the spectacle. "But then I saw that... crack in the sky. What kind of technique was that? It looked like you tore through space itself."

Kate laughed softly. "It's a bit complicated. Let's just say it's a method I use to travel between different places." She paused, noting Su Yan's

"The Legacy Cave is located at the Blood Battle Group. Let's go," Su Yan said, turning to lead the way.

"Wait!" Kate shouted, urgency in her voice.

Su Yan turned back, puzzled. "What?"

Kate extended her palm, and the Void Archives materialized in her hand. "Please keep this safe," she said, her tone serious.

Su Yan's eyes widened in surprise. "What's that?"

Before Su Yan could get an answer, Kate suddenly disappeared, leaving the Void Archives to fall. Reacting quickly, Su Yan managed to catch it mid-air, holding it securely.

"Where did she go?" Su Yan muttered to herself, examining the mysterious object in her hand. The Void Archives felt both ancient and powerful, its presence radiating a strange energy.

Su Yan, with a determined look, secured the Void Archives and set off towards the Blood Battle Group, hoping to find answers and ensure Kate's return.

In a vast expanse that seemed to stretch infinitely, a lone woman faced eight formidable enemies, remnants of a brutal battle evident in the surroundings. The skirmish unfolded on the petiole of a single leaf, which, from her perspective, spanned the size of one or two white dwarf stars.

"You won't escape this place," the woman declared, showing no sign of exhaustion despite the relentless combat.

"Our Ancestral Court won't forgive you if you don't let us go!" one of the enemies shouted, desperation evident in his voice.

"I don't need the forgiveness of those old pigs," the woman responded coldly. As she spoke, ten magic circles of varying sizes materialized above her adversaries.

"KILL HER!" the leader of the enemies commanded, their voices tinged with fear and resolve.

The woman's eyes glowed black, and with a single word, "Disappear," her enemies began to turn to dust, their forms disintegrating instantly. The power she wielded was overwhelming, leaving no trace of the once-threatening opponents.

With the battle concluded, the woman stood amidst the fading remnants of her foes, her expression resolute. The vast petiole, a battlefield that could rival celestial bodies in size, seemed eerily silent in the aftermath of her might.

"The seeds I sowed must Bloom beautifully," the woman said, her eyes scanning the endless, starry expanse. The cosmos stretched out before her, a tapestry of twinkling lights and distant galaxies.

She murmured to herself, her face reflecting a longing, "The Ancestral Land of Chaos needs your assistance." The weight of her responsibilities and the vastness of her journey were evident in her expression.

The woman stood alone, the silence of the vast petiole amplifying her thoughts. The universe around her, with its countless stars and mysterious depths, seemed to echo her yearning and determination. The battles she fought, the enemies she vanquished, and the seeds she planted were all steps towards a greater purpose, one that connected her to the boundless expanse of the cosmos and the Ancestral Land of Chaos.

At the same time, inside the Void Archive, Kate was examining the Tong Xuan Realm entrance, which was blocked by a mysterious energy. "Is this also the result of that woman?" Kate thought to herself. The barrier was impenetrable, a force that even her formidable powers couldn't bypass easily.

"There is no choice but to take a look at the planet where I came from," Kate decided, shifting her gaze to another location within the Void Archive. "The first planet the Void Archives copied is where it was first activated: my home planet, the planet of Ur."

Determined, Kate walked towards the grand arc gate that led to Ur. The gate stood tall and imposing, a testament to the monumental task of preserving entire worlds within the Archive. As she stepped through, she braced herself for whatever lay ahead, ready to uncover the secrets and memories of her origin.

The transition was seamless, and soon Kate found herself standing on familiar ground. The landscape of Ur stretched before her, a blend of nostalgia and latent power. This was where it all began, where her journey started and where many of her questions might finally find answers.

Kate took a deep breath and began her exploration, ready to delve into the mysteries of her home planet and the forces that shaped her path.

Standing on the physical copy of the planet Ur, Kate observed the landscape before her. The remnants of the Inter-Universal Great War were still evident, scars left on the planet's surface from the conflicts that had ravaged it. Kate's thoughts drifted to the planet's history, recalling its origins and the events that had shaped its destiny.

"So this is the physical copy of the planet Ur," Kate mused to herself, surveying the terrain. The name "Ur" resonated with a sense of familiarity, a connection to her past that ran deep. Memories stirred within her, fragments of a time long gone.

"But it'll be faster if I just read it," Kate thought, considering the vast repository of knowledge stored within the Void Archive. Despite the convenience of accessing information digitally, there was something compelling about experiencing it firsthand, standing on the very ground where history had unfolded.

"The result of the Inter-Universal Great War is still fresh," Kate reflected, her gaze sweeping over the scarred landscape. The conflict had left its mark on Ur, shaping the course of its development and influencing the lives of its inhabitants.

"If I remember correctly, this planet was originally named Kur by the Dusk Universe," Kate recalled, tapping into her knowledge of the planet's history. The Dusk Universe's conquest of Ur had left behind a legacy of technology and research, laying the foundation for advancements that would shape the planet's future.

With a sense of purpose, Kate began to explore the physical copy of Ur, eager to uncover its secrets and unlock the mysteries of its past.

Kate hovered above the landscape on the golden throne of the Vimana, a majestic flying vehicle from the treasures of Gilgamesh. The panoramic view from her elevated position allowed her to take in the full extent of the damage and the remnants of the planet's history.

"Gilgamesh can fly, right?" she mused, a smile playing on her lips as she maneuvered the Vimana effortlessly through the air. "And I can open gates even if the Void Archives is not with me."

Deciding to make the most of her abilities, Kate opened a huge gate from the Gate of Babylon, allowing the Vimana to glide through. The landscape below began to blur as she increased the speed, exploring the remnants of research facilities scattered across the planet of Ur.

As she flew over the various structures, she used the Gate of Babylon to access the archives and retrieve research papers and books. Each document she collected was stored meticulously, ensuring she could study them in detail later.

"This will save me a lot of time," Kate thought, her eyes scanning the terrain for more points of interest.

The first research facility she approached was a massive, decaying structure, its exterior covered in cracks and overgrown with vegetation. She opened a gate near the entrance, allowing her to extract a trove of documents and artifacts from within.

Moving on, she repeated the process at several other locations, her collection growing with each stop. She noted the advanced technology left behind by the Dusk Universe, marveling at the ingenuity and progress that had once thrived on this war-torn planet.

The Vimana's flight path took her across different terrains, from mountainous regions to sprawling ruins of once-great cities. Each location offered more insights into the planet's history and technological advancements.

As she continued her exploration, Kate's thoughts turned to the potential applications of the knowledge she was gathering. The technology and research from Ur could be invaluable in her quest to grow stronger.

"This planet holds so many secrets," Kate murmured to herself, a sense of excitement bubbling within her. "If I can unlock even a fraction of its knowledge, it will be worth the effort."

With renewed determination, she guided the Vimana towards the next point of interest, ready to uncover more of Ur's hidden treasures.

Kate guided the Vimana down towards the ground, intrigued by the entrance she had spotted near the north pole. The entrance was almost hidden among the ice and snow, a testament to the planet's harsh conditions and the advanced technology that had kept it sealed for so long.

"This facility must hold something important," Kate thought as she carefully landed the Vimana nearby. Approaching the entrance, she examined the structure. The doors were made of a material she couldn't immediately identify, smooth and unyielding despite the passage of time. Using a scanning device, she analyzed the entrance, searching for a way to unlock it.

"This technology is far beyond anything I've seen," Kate mused, her curiosity piqued. "But there must be a way to access it."

After a few moments, she detected a hidden panel. With a combination of skill and intuition, she managed to activate the panel, causing the massive doors to slowly slide open with a hiss of pressurized air. The darkness inside was oppressive, but Kate was undeterred.
