Chapter 572: Sisters Protection

Chapter 572: Sister's Protection

Ye Guan swept Nalan Jia into his arms, twirling her around as he burst out laughing.

Nalan Jia's cheeks turned pink, which made her look bashful yet beautiful.

After a moment, Ye Guan set her down. With his eyes sparkling, he asked, "Is this from last time?"

Nalan Jia shot him a shy glare, her cheeks flushing even more.

Ye Guan chuckled and pulled her close.

Nalan Jia nestled against him, whispering softly, "With the Past Clan gone, there's much to do here. I have to stay and assist Mother."

Ye Guan nodded in understanding. "Mm."

Qin Guan certainly needed their help right now.

In the vast Time River, countless unknown worlds awaited exploration. Qin Guan intended to integrate all of them into the Guanxuan Universe.

Opposition?

Within the eons of time, no force dared challenge the Guanxuan Universe.

After a tender night with Nalan Jia, Ye Guan went into the True Universe the next day.

He was here for Cishu, but Cirou and Cijing were present as well.

"Heading to the Divine Academy?" Cirou asked.

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

"To the Old Era?"

Another nod from Ye Guan.

"The Old Era..."

If any force could pose a threat to the Guanxuan Universe, it would be the Temple of the Gods and the Old Era.

Ye Guan reassured her with a smile. "Don't worry. I'm going to the Old Era to learn about them.”

The First God—a figure revered even by the Great Daoist Brush Master—had to be an extraordinary being. Ye Guan aimed to learn more about him while also becoming stronger.

Cirou just nodded silently in reply.

"Big Sister..." Cishu trailed off.

Ye Guan grasped her hand and offered a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. She'll be fine."

Holding onto his hand, Cishu softly whispered, "I'm not trying to pressure you. I'm just really worried about her..."

"I get it." After glancing at the trio, Ye Guan added, "Don’t worry about Sister Zhen. I'll handle it. Trust me."

After a brief pause, he broached another topic. "Regarding the relationship between the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe..."

"Don't worry about those matters," Cirou gently interjected. "Your mother and I will handle them."

Surprised, Ye Guan looked at her. "My mother?"

An awkward smile graced Cirou's lips.

Ye Guan held Cirou's hand and grinned. "Ours."

He had to take this seriously. If he didn't, Qin Guan definitely would. He couldn't afford to be careless.

Observing his earnest expression, Cirou nodded slightly.

...

Realm of the Gods.

Bishop Yuan had an extremely grim expression.

Besides him, the other major bishops and elders were also in the hall. All the core figures of the Temple of the Gods were there.

Everyone currently had somewhat unsightly expressions. After all, the Guanxuan Universe had issued them an ultimatum: surrender or die.

When had the Temple of the Gods ever suffered such humiliation?

However, upon learning that the Past Clan had been destroyed by the Guanxuan Universe, the Temple of the Gods dared not offer any resistance.

What else could they do?

Bishop Yuan was especially gloomy. He truly was at a loss now.

Surrender definitely not an option.

Would the gods even allow them to surrender?

Although the Temple of the Gods had lost to the Past Clan in the past, they had never submitted.

If they didn't surrender, they would have to confront the Guanxuan Universe head-on. There was no way they'd win, though.

The Guanxuan Universe's attitude was also very resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

While Bishop Yuan pondered their situation, an elder suddenly walked into the temple. The elder respectfully saluted Bishop Yuan and then excitedly said, "Bishop, an oracle has come."

The participants of the meeting suddenly stood up. After millions of years without an oracle, one suddenly appeared?

Bishop Yuan exited the hall, and everyone followed right behind him. Once they were outside, a golden light descended from the sky, to which they immediately knelt.

Bishop Yuan, who was in front of them all, also slowly knelt on the ground. Feeling extremely excited, his face was filled up with emotions.

An oracle! It has been millions of years since one had appeared! Now, when the Temple of the Gods is facing a great calamity, one has been sent to us. This means that the gods haven't forgotten us. On the contrary, we've never left their minds!

After a while, a golden plaque burst out of the golden light and slowly flew toward him. He respectfully accepted the golden plaque, the contents of which stunned him.

The other bishops stared at him, their eyes full of curiosity.

After a moment, Bishop Yuan stood up and announced, "The Temple of the Gods is to leave the Realm of the Gods and evacuate to the Old Era."

The gods were abandoning the Realm of the Gods. Although Bishop Yuan was puzzled, he had no choice but to comply.

He had thought that perhaps the gods would appear and lead them into battle against the Guanxuan Universe. He certainly didn't expect them to ask their followers to abandon this realm and head to the Old Era.

Did the gods also not want to go to war with the Guanxuan Universe?

As Bishop Yuan mulled over his thoughts, a flicker of concern flashed in his eyes. Acting swiftly, he issued commands to evacuate the Realm of the Gods with the utmost urgency.

Recognizing the impossibility of evacuating everyone, they prioritized getting the core members of the Temple of the Gods and a few exceptional talents out. Regrettably, the ordinary citizens were now nothing but mere burdens to their departure plans.

Soon, a divine path materialized within the realm, allowing them to leave.

A few days later, Bishop Yuan stood before the Temple of the Gods and observed the faithful believers kneeling in the distance. Their pleas for salvation echoed in vain.

As the Temple of the Gods left, hordes of believers flocked to the scene, desperate to join the movement. Unfortunately, time was not on their side; the Guanxuan Universe allowed no delay.

Looking toward the distant expanse of space, Bishop Yuan spotted Qin Guan. Without further hesitation, he entered the divine path, which then slowly disappeared. The believers cried in despair as they were abandoned and sacrificed by the gods.

Moments later, Qin Guan arrived at the Temple of the Gods with a group of powerful beings. With serene determination, she ordered the removal of the five towering god statues.

As she turned to leave, she suddenly stopped at the doorway. “Erect a statue of my son here.”
