Supreme Ba remained relaxed with a smile tugging at his lips.
The white-robed man's son was so weak, so how strong could he be? What if he was a bit strong? It would be great. Slaughtering the weak held no meaning, after all.
The Evil Spirit God's expression changed when she saw the white-robed man and the lady in a plain skirt. At the same time, a voice rang in her head. "Leave."
Leave? The Evil Spirit God was stunned.
The speaker was the First Hall Master!
The Evil Spirit God looked around but sensed nothing, so she frowned deeply in confusion. Despite that, she still turned around to leave.
"Haha." The white-robed man in the distance laughed and asked, "Did I say you can leave?"
The Evil Spirit God stopped. She turned around and looked at the white-robed man, raising her eyebrows slightly. "What, I can't leave?"
She was wary of the two in front of her, but she was not afraid of them.
Even if she couldn't beat them, could they stop her if she really wanted to leave?
The lady in a plain skirt standing next to the white-robed man frowned slightly upon hearing the Evil Spirit God's words. She extended her right hand and pressed it gently.
Thud!
The Evil Spirit God's legs weakened, and she fell to her knees.
The Evil Spirit God was dumbfounded.
Supreme Ba and the three Holy Kings were petrified on the spot.
Wu Yi froze in disbelief and stared at the lady in a plain skirt.
The lady in a plain skirt looked at the kneeling Evil Spirit God. "Now try to leave."
The Evil Spirit God roared. A crack appeared on her forehead, and an endless wave of Evil Dao energy rushed out of the crack. However, the energy inexplicably vanished without a trace.
The Evil Spirit God was completely stunned. She looked at the lady in a plain skirt in disbelief.
"Y-you..." the Evil Spirit God stammered.
The lady in a plain skirt ignored her and turned to look at Ye Guan. With just one glance, the Mad Demon Bloodline within Ye Guan instantly calmed down.
Ye Guan immediately returned to normal.
The Mad Demon bloodline was smart—it knew how to behave.
Ye Guan was speechless.
The lady in a plain skirt then looked at Chief Enforcement Officer Jing Chu's illusory figure and calmly said, "Whoever touches her, I'll destroy them."
Silence followed.
Boom!
The world trembled violently, and mysterious streaks of energy manifested up above. Under the astonished gazes of the powerful ones present, Chief Enforcement Officer Jing Chu's soul rapidly solidified.
Her fleshly body was recovering swiftly as well.
What?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Jing Chu's eyes widened in disbelief.
Rumble!
The spacetime trembled slightly, and a mysterious spacetime tunnel appeared before everyone. An old man slowly emerged from the tunnel. He was wearing a crown and was draped in a black robe. A jet-black book was in his right hand, while there was a black pen in his left hand.
Everyone was puzzled.
Who is he?
The old man bowed respectfully to the lady in a plain skirt and said, "I, Yama Dharmaraja, greet Great Destiny. We were unaware that she was one of your people. Please forgive us, Great Destiny."
The old man bowed even deeper, and there was beaded sweat on his forehead.
Ye Guan walked up to the lady in a plain skirt.
He looked at the old man and asked curiously, "Aunt, who is he?"
Aunt? The old man glanced at Ye Guan and silently memorized his face.
The lady in a plain skirt looked at Ye Guan and replied, "Aren't you curious about what people from a Tier Six civilization look like? He's from a Tier Six civilization.
"His name is Yama Dharmaraja, and he handles the reincarnations of those from civilizations below Tier Six. Whenever such beings perish, they'll enter his Reincarnation Pool, and he absorbs them."
Ye Guan was stunned, and his expression eventually became solemn.
A Tier Six civilization?! And he absorbs the souls of those who are from civilizations below Tier Six? Aren't there a myriad of universe regions out there? How many souls does he absorb every day? Ye Guan thought.
Wu Yi was horrified. "You're from the rumored Gui Zhe Civilization!"
The Gui Zhe Civilization? Ye Guan was curious. I remember Mother going there...
At the time, they assumed that the Gui Zhe Civilization was a Tier Five civilization, but clearly, they were wrong!
Yama Dharmaraja didn't straighten up but tilted his head to glance at Wu Yi. He couldn't figure out whether she was an enemy or ally of Young Master Ye, so he hesitated and replied, "Young Lady, are you familiar with my Gui Zhe Civilization?"
Wu Yi hurriedly responded, "Senior, have you heard of the Chaotic Ancient Era?"
"The Milky Way?" the lady in a plain skirt asked while staring at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan nodded.
The lady in a plain skirt pointed at the life seed and the soul. Moments later, they vanished into thin air.
Ye Guan was stunned.
Meanwhile, Yama Dharmaraja's eyes widened upon sensing something. What he had just witnessed had shattered his worldview, as the lady in a plain skirt had actually defied the laws of the vast expanse.
There was something wrong here!
Ye Guan blinked. "Is that it?"
The lady in a plain skirt nodded. Then, she patted Ye Guan's head and said softly, "In this world, with beauty comes regret. Your life cannot be all beautiful; there will be some regrets.
"This is the last time I will reverse life and death for you. If you don't want any regrets in your life, you'll have to work for it yourself, do you understand?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Understood."
The lady in a plain skirt nodded, and then she turned around to leave while holding the white-robed man's hand.
Just then, the white-robed man stopped and smiled at Ye Guan.
"Don't stress too much. You can slow down a little."
Ye Guan smiled. "Okay."
"Next time, you don't have to make a plea or anything. I will always have your back."
"Okay!" Ye Guan grinned.
The white-robed man said no more and held the lady in a plain skirt's hand as they disappeared. The lady in a plain skirt glanced at a certain point in the void just as they vanished into thin air.
Regret... Ye Guan stood in place, speechless for a long time.
Just then, Yama Dharmaraja suddenly walked to Ye Guan's side and smiled. "Young Master Ye?"
Yama Dharmaraja pulled out a storage ring and placed it in Ye Guan's hand with a smile. "I left in a hurry, so I only have a hundred thousand Creation Crystals with me. Young Master Ye, I hope you won't think too little of it."
Creation Crystals? Ye Guan was curious. He glanced at the storage ring and found a hundred thousand crystals, each about the size of a fist. They had a golden-purple hue, and each of them contained an incredibly pure energy that Eternal Crystals could only hope to compare to!
Ye Guan was tempted, but he did not want to take advantage of his status, so he said, "Senior, there's no need for this. I am too weak to return this kindness to you, so please take this back."
A look of surprise flashed in Yama Dharmaraja's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I understand!" he smiled and said, "Young Master Ye, I still have many things to attend to, so until we meet again!"
Ye Guan cupped his fist. "Until we meet again!"
Yama Dharmaraja smiled and disappeared. However, there was a golden storage ring in the void along with a black token.
Ye Guan was stunned.
"Huh? Did I drop something? Ah—never mind." Yama Dharmaraja's faint voice echoed throughout the starry skies. I "accidentally" dropped it. I did not give it to you!
Ye Guan was speechless and shook his head with a smile. He decided to put away the golden storage ring and the black token. Then, he looked at Jing Chu and said, "Let's go!"
Jing Chu nodded, and the two headed to the Great Zhou.
***
The Grand Sect Master slowly traversed a desolate starry sky. He was moving so slowly that he appeared like a walking corpse.
He had decided not to chase them to the Great Zhou, as the lady in a plain skirt's sword energy was there. The lady in a plain skirt had killed Qiu Baiyi, and the First Hall Master's words had also made him too apprehensive to give chase.
And he had made the right decision.
They were all dead!
They were killed in seconds!
The Grand Sect Master finally understood why the First Hall Master had told them not to make enemies of Ye Guan for the time being.
She was terrifying!
In fact, he had initially tried to persuade the Evil Spirit God against it, but she wouldn't listen at all. She believed that both Jing Chu and Ye Guan were already at their limits. If they were to give up now, wouldn't they hand over everything to the Great Sorcerer Clan?
The Grand Sect Master couldn't persuade her, and now she was dead.
Rumble!
The spacetime ahead of the Grand Sect Master churned, and a spacetime rift soon manifested. A man in a wide dark robe emerged from the rift.
The Grand Sect Master was familiar with him.
He was Wu Daotian, the Clan Leader of the Great Sorcerer Clan.
Wu Daotian stared at the Grand Sect Master. "Supreme Ba and the three Holy Kings are dead."
The Grand Sect Master replied in a deep voice, "The Evil Spirit God is dead as well."
Wu Daotian frowned. "Did they die at the hands of Ye Guan's backers?"
"No," the Grand Sect Master said, shaking his head. "Ye Guan's backers aren't that powerful. However, the Tianxing Civilization's founding ancestor had actually left behind a soul fragment, and it managed to bring everyone down together.
"As a result of the battle, Ye Guan is now in possession of the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone, the Tianxing Life Tree, and every single divine artifact of the Tianxing Civilization."
