Something has happened!
Ye Xuan looked at Mi Shen, his brows slightly furrowed. “What’s wrong?”
Mi Shen said in a grave voice, “That Mu Shen, Ming Shen, and Yin Shen may have gone to tip off the enemy!”
At those words, Ye Xuan’s expression instantly darkened.
Are you lot messing about?
Mi Shen’s face was extremely overcast. “Truly foolish! If we join forces now to resist that True God, we still have some chance. But if we start fighting amongst ourselves, once the True God wipes us out, they won’t escape doom either.”
After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan asked, “What should we do now?”
Mi Shen said heavily, “If they really have gone to inform the enemy, then the True World is very likely to make a move!”
She hesitated, then added, “I don’t know whether that True God will target your universe!”
Ye Xuan hesitated too, then asked, “That so-called True God, why wouldn’t she target you lot first?”
Mi Shen glanced at Qin Guan, then said, “If she truly discovers the existence of anti-dimensional technology, it will threaten the True World! Because right now the True World holds an enormous advantage over other universes precisely because of this dimensional barrier. If Miss Qin here succeeds in researching it, that means we could also enter their homeland and hunt them down! That is definitely something the True World cannot accept!”
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then said, “In other words, they might launch an all-out attack on us?”
“Yes!”
Beside them, Yu Shen suddenly spoke. “The ones who attacked our universe before were only ordinary gods and spirits. The main powerhouses of the True World never paid us any real attention. But now, they may come for real!”
He looked at Ye Xuan. “You need to prepare!”
Ye Xuan and Qin Guan exchanged a glance. Ye Xuan gave a bitter smile. “I thought we would have time to develop a bit more. Looks like that’s not possible now!”
Qin Guan looked at Ye Xuan. “I can research a way to counter the dimension.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I believe in you!”
Qin Guan said, “Let’s return to the Void True World!”
Ye Xuan gave a slight nod. “Good!”
He turned to Mi Shen with a smile. “Mi Shen, we’ll take our leave!”
Mi Shen suddenly said, “Is there anything I can help with?”
Ye Xuan thought for a second, then asked, “Got any money?”
He himself no longer needed money! But Qin Guan did. The things she researched truly burned through cash!
Mi Shen nodded. She spread her palm, and a storage ring flew towards Ye Xuan and Qin Guan. Inside the ring were hundreds of millions of spirit essence crystals.
Ye Xuan put the ring away, then said, “Many thanks!”
Mi Shen shook her head. “Resisting the True God is everyone’s shared responsibility!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Yu Shen. Yu Shen’s eyelid twitched. “Why are you looking at me? You’ve already borrowed everything I own! I’ve got nothing left!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “We now have a common enemy. Aren’t you going to chip in a little?”
Yu Shen fell silent.
Damn it!
You’ve taken everything I have, and you still want me to chip in!
You really are Ye the Skinflint!
Yu Shen sighed softly, then said, “I truly have nothing left! All my treasures are inside those six pagodas, and you took all six pagodas! I’m completely broke now!”
Ye Xuan said, “If you’ve no money, then lend some strength instead!”
Yu Shen gave a bitter laugh. “That won’t do! If I act now, it would be equivalent to breaking the Cosmic Covenant!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Hasn’t that True God already been breaking the Cosmic Covenant?”
Yu Shen said gravely, “She intends to break it, yes! But she hasn’t yet. If I strike first, that would give her the perfect excuse! At that point, the other universes would no longer dare to help us!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
You lot really are being completely controlled by her!
Mi Shen also spoke up. “Yes, we cannot let her seize the pretext first!”
She smiled faintly. “Don’t worry too much. She may not attack your universe immediately!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “We still need to prepare in advance!”
He turned to Qin Guan. “Let’s go back to the Void True Battlefield!”
Qin Guan nodded. “Alright!”
Ye Xuan spread his palm, the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand, and he directly took Qin Guan and vanished from the spot!
Back where they had stood, Yu Shen looked towards the horizon, his eyes filled with worry!
Mi Shen said softly, “It seems that True God is growing rather impatient!”
Yu Shen smiled. “That’s normal. She has already reached that level. If she wants to advance further, the only way is to devour us cosmic spirits. Only by doing so can she take another step forward!”
Mi Shen suddenly said, “That sword in the young man’s hand is extremely special. The person who forged it is no ordinary individual!”
Yu Shen smiled and shook his head.
Mi Shen asked, “What?”
Yu Shen turned to gaze at the far end of the sky and said softly, “Actually, most of the time, many people hope he will just be a mountain king who stays put.”
Mi Shen frowned slightly, not understanding his meaning.
…
Inside a space-time tunnel.
Qin Guan looked at Ye Xuan. “Are you worried?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “Of course I’m worried, but it’s alright!”
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “No matter what, we’ll face it together!”
Ye Xuan nodded and laughed. “With those words from you, I’m instantly not worried anymore!”
Qin Guan rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan. “I can’t fight!”
Ye Xuan grew serious. “You can’t fight, but you’re far more terrifying than those who can!”
Qin Guan smiled and said nothing.
Ye Xuan turned serious again. “You didn’t have to get involved in this.”
Qin Guan blinked. “If I left you to carry it alone, wouldn’t you be exhausted?”
Warmth filled Ye Xuan’s heart. He smiled. “This time, let’s have a proper showdown with those gods!”
Qin Guan nodded. “Good!”
Soon, Ye Xuan and Qin Guan returned to the Void True Battlefield.
They immediately gathered all the powerhouses of the Void True Battlefield and equipped every single person with gear!
During this period, these Void True World experts had cultivated inside the little pagoda, and their strength could no longer be compared to before. Especially after Ye Xuan and Qin Guan obtained the cultivation methods and treasures of cosmic gods and spirits, Qin Guan had improved those methods before distributing them to all the Void True World experts. Coupled with the countless spirit veins and spirit essence crystals inside the little pagoda, it could be said that the current batch of Void True World experts was countless times stronger than the group once led by the Master of the Great Dao Brush.
After everything was arranged, Qin Guan resumed her research on the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.
The most urgent task now was to figure out how to break through dimensions, so that people from the Guanxuan Universe could also enter the True World. Otherwise, the Guanxuan Universe would forever be passively beaten within its own borders!
Therefore, her top priority right now was to develop a method to breach dimensions!
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan quietly left the Void True Battlefield. This time, he returned to the Guanxuan Academy. He did not inform the Cabinet members, but instead went to find Mo Yunqi and the others.
Inside a small hall, Ye Xuan sat quietly. In front of him were Mo Yunqi, Bai Ze, and Ji Anzhi.
Mo Yunqi looked at Ye Xuan, his face grave. “Is a great war coming?”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “It’s fine, don’t worry. You have me!”
Mo Yunqi was about to say more, but Ye Xuan continued, “Let’s not talk about that today! Us brothers should just catch up properly!”
As he spoke, he lay back in his chair, hands behind his head, and said softly, “Honestly, I do miss our days at Canglan Academy a little…”
Ji Anzhi suddenly reached out and gently held Ye Xuan’s hand, whispering, “Is something going to happen?”
Ye Xuan turned his hand to hold hers, smiling. “It’s nothing!”
Then he stood up. “I’ll cook for you all one more time!”
With that, he walked towards the kitchen in the distance.
