Chapter 1574 Chapter 1567: Heart of a Galaxy (7)

"OH! WOW!!" This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Is this the green zone?!"

"I get it now!"

The exclamations of awe and wonder resounded on Minor Elysium as the ship, under the escort of five thousand, entered the green zone. The view they came across changed and they were besieged by an explosive shift in the environment. The White Abyss was the epitome of a single color, yet their expectations for the green zone were subverted.

The green zone was not a space engulfed by the green color, horizon unknown, distance incalculable, but a world of transparent liquid resembling water, devoid of any color, yet the feeling of liquid touching their skin and hair was unmistakable.

The Minor Elysium's protections were deliberately lowered under Wei Wuyin's instructions. It was no different than being underwater. Beneath them was a solid earthen mass that resembled an uncultivated continent, while all around them, long, slithering creatures looking similar to eels of varying sizes and various shades of green swam freely and rapidly. They numbered in the millions, perhaps billions. Some were as little as snails, others were as large as whales.

"They aren't eels! Don't let them touch you!" Violet Sea shouted to remind others. She was taken aback after noticing that the slithering creatures had gotten through the ship's defenses, but she didn't hesitate to take action alongside the others. They used their palms, fists, and claws to eliminate every last eel that neared the Minor Elysium.

The escorts outside were already working in tandem, launching coordinated attacks, erecting joint defensive wards, and dealing with any eels that came within a ten-mile range decisively.

"What are those things?" Cao Cuifen asked.

"We call them Greels. If they touch you, they'll burrow into your body as a ray of light and exhaust your life force. Don't let them touch you under any circumstance!" Crimson Blade announced as he used his fingertips to unleash swathes of sharp mystic power, slicing the greels into the tiniest bits until they were thoroughly eradicated.

Violet Sea kicked out. Her kick was like thunder, sending a sonic wave of booming power forward, leaving the ship unharmed, but shattering tens of thousands of greels with a single move. Her power was devastating.

"I'll take care of that one!" Fairy Silence announced as she gazed intently at one that looked as large as a baby whale. She whistled. The greel trembled violently before crumbling into light.

A group was careless and the greel touched a Demi-Mortal Lord. He shrieked painfully and it reverberated loudly in everyone's ears, sounding like the death throes of someone being mercilessly drained. Yue Songli flinched. The greel had transformed into green light and silently burrowed itself into the Demi-Mortal Lord's ears, eyes, mouth, nose, genitalia, and anus. Every single orifice was entered. The sight was enough to render anyone speechless.

They watched as his skin withered and his eyes dried out, sinking into his skull. The life aura he was exuding began to rapidly age at a pace that resembled a single second was equivalent to ten thousand years. The Demi-Mortal Lord lasted a second and a half before his life aura dissipated entirely.

A desiccated corpse remained.

Watching this unfold, some of the escorts were fearful while the Abyssal Overlords kept working fiercely, keeping the greels at bay while avoiding damaging the ship. The greels did nothing to the ship, seemingly only rushing toward living things, and when they touched the ship, they slid across it harmlessly until they found another target in their line of sight.

Fortunately for him, while a desiccated corpse would typically be death for mortals, an Ascended being was far beyond mortal limits, and killing them by draining their body of lifespan was extremely difficult. With his Mystic Soul and Mystic Core still active, his Sea of Consciousness, Mind's Eye, and Soul were tethered, seeking to escape and find salvation among the others.

Unfortunately for him, the green zone was not safe. The entire White Abyss exuded a type of chaotic pressure that disrupted spiritual properties such as Spiritual Sense and Spiritual Strength. The moment he sought refuge by abandoning his body, the chaotic pressure enveloped him as a few members had thoughts of pity and frustration.

Without his physical body to support him, the Mystic Core was already crumbling, including everything that was contained within.

Yue Songli's eyes watched this unfold and her heart pounded. She gripped Wei Wuyin's arm that was holding her waist. However, her discomfort was immediately alleviated as the scene of the Highlord on the verge of perishing began to rapidly revert.

A terrifying authority of time exerted itself, and the Highlord's agonizing state was regressed as if they watched it all unfold on rewind. When he returned, his lifespan returned with him, and the Highlord began sweating bullets as he had felt death encroach upon him. The others immediately rushed to aid him, preventing other greels from touching the Highlord.

This caused every one of them to redouble their efforts, and those ignorant of what would happen upon touching the greels, especially the males of the group, were enlightened and held nothing back to prevent that outcome.

The fighting began to grow incredibly fierce.

Meanwhile, Wei Wuyin whispered into Yue Songli's ear. Whatever he said caused her eyes to brighten with realization, her anxiety melting away. She pursed her lips in a pout, "You could have just told me."

Wei Wuyin laughed. "Seeing it yourself is a far better experience, and ruining your cute reaction wasn't worth it. As for these so-called Greels, those things are precious materials. To think everyone is so careless in ruining such a blessed opportunity."

Those words were said openly, and every last person was paying extreme attention to Wei Wuyin, so when he said that, the four Abyssal Overlords immediately restrained their destruction and looked at him.

"What? World-Saint Neo-Dawn, is there something special about these greels?" After Wei Wuyin revealed his Minor Authority of Time, their reverence reached an absolute limit, and they no longer considered him a True Sage but an existence beyond the Mystic Ascendant Realm! This was genuinely a sightseeing expedition! And while this still felt unreal, the feats and events thus far only supported that Wei Wuyin was here without the slightest sense of urgency.

"Firstly, greels is such a simple name for them. Let's see," Wei Wuyin hugged Yue Songli closer, whispering into her ear: "Hold out your hand. Call for them using your innate Spatial Resonance, and expel a ripple. When you do, don't hold anything back."

Yue Songli's eyes exuded a curious light as she did as instructed. She held out her hand and expelled a spatial ripple. The liquid rippled instantly. Suddenly, the greels that were flying wildly about began to redirect their attention toward Yue Songli. They approached madly, like fishes drawn to a lure or a moth to a flame.

Her heart tightened a little, images of that Highlord's near-death flashed in her mind. Wei Wuyin gently held out her hand. "I'm here."

"I'm not finished. The White Abyssal Galaxy will be a Galactic Vessel State of my Neo-Dawn Empire. I'm willing to assist all four of you into reaching the True Sage Phase if you're fortunate and talented enough to do so."

"..." Galactic Vessel State! A galaxy that was under the control of another force! The idea wasn't foreign to them, but dominating an entire galaxy was absurdly difficult. However, the prospect of reaching the True Sage was far too alluring.

Moreover, if they refused, Mystic Lord Violet Sea would be cultivated into a True Sage eventually, conquer the entire galaxy, and likely become a vessel state by marriage or something! They didn't really have a choice!

Resist? Resist how?!

Since Wei Wuyin had already shown a fraction of his astonishing power, they were already mentally defeated, unable to even discern his cultivation base. But none of that mattered! Because he was a Worldly Saint Alchemist who could confidently declare the ascension of a True Sage! If someone told them he didn't have an Alchemic Knight or Dao Protector at that level, they would laugh and spit in their face for being fools.

And refusal would only lead to them dying in the White Abyss!

Violet Sea was visibly excited. She was the third strongest in the White Abyssal Galaxy, and she was bound to lead any Galactic Vessel State by riding Wei Wuyin's lap in more ways than one. She wanted them to refuse.

Kill them all!

For a single human to decide the fate of a galaxy ruled by the Abyssal Race felt absurd, but they couldn't do anything about it!

Seeing Wei Wuyin change the topic, Yue Songli was equally as excited as Violet Sea by this. Witnessing Wei Wuyin conquering with persuasive words alone was amazing.

"I agree," Grey Rose suddenly exclaimed. She didn't hesitate for longer than a second.

The expressions of Crimson Blade and Fairy Silence changed. Wei Wuyin had an empire! And he was trying to conquer them in a single move! Moreover, two of the Abyssal Overlords already sided with him. Fortunately, they were the weakest of the two.

Agreeing to rule the White Abyssal Galaxy and agreeing to rule while acting as a Galactic Vessel State under the Neo-Dawn Empire were two very different things! Even Fairy Silence had some hesitation. What if Wei Wuyin treated the Abyssals like they did humans? With neglect and the purpose of labor or servants?

How could Violet Sea agree so recklessly?!

What if he enslaved them all?

But then again...they would be True Sages...maybe? So...

They grew confused and uncertain.

Wei Wuyin flatly stated, "I abhor discrimination and racial disparities. I won't treat the Abyssal Race unfairly, nor any differently than I treat beasts, demons, or humans," Wei Wuyin stated as Qing Qiumu's gaze toward him shone. She knew first-hand that this was the truth!

They all did!

The escorts could only listen. They didn't have the right to intervene here, but the humans were silently excited upon hearing that Wei Wuyin wanted to conquer the galaxy under his empire. A human-led Empire! Their fates would be better, the legacies more abundant, and their futures far brighter.

"..." Fairy Silence and Crimson Blade glanced at each other.

After a long while, Fairy Silence smiled. "Can you allow the Mystic Lord among us four, the first to become a True Sage, to lead the White Abyssal Galaxy for the next ten thousand years?"

OH! The crowd knew that she had agreed!

"I can agree with that," Crimson Blade relented under such a concession.

"Sure," Wei Wuyin nodded.

Sighs of relief resounded in many hearts, fearful that Wei Wuyin might have acted against them.

Ming Shufeng was awed. Did Wei Wuyin just...conquer a galaxy? By just stating his intentions while holding a beauty in his arms?!

She felt her entire worldview shift!

Author's Note: Wei Wuyin was going to trim the fat, take over the galaxy as a shadow ruler, and just said nah. I'll take all of you. In broad daylight.
