"Master..."
Bai Lan heard Ye Ling's words and was quite speechless. However, after thinking carefully, Ye Ling indeed had no need to abide by the original Martial King's rules anymore.
Now that the Overseers knew Ye Ling intended to absorb the power of the Seven Kings, they would undoubtedly try every means to obstruct him to prevent it.
On the other hand, the mutated Heavenly Mystery had also been coveting the power of the Primal King.
Under such circumstances, if Ye Ling were to still adhere to the original Martial King's rules, it was likely that by the time Ye Ling truly gained the Primal Martial King's recognition, the Primal Martial King would have already been dealt with by the Overseers or Heavenly Mystery.
"I understand. Are we going to the Extreme Martial Domain now?"
After thinking it through, Bai Lan asked Ye Ling, ready to lead the way.
"No rush. Before going to the Extreme Martial Domain, I want to return to the Time Void Realm."
"What are you going to the Time Void Realm for?" Bai Lan was stunned. "Not long after we left, that place was occupied by the Overseers. If we go there, we might come into conflict with them."
Ye Ling smiled. "Once Heavenly Mystery realizes he's been tricked, he will definitely return to the Time Void Realm. Even if there's a conflict with the Overseers, Heavenly Mystery will be the vanguard."
"Don't worry, we're not going back to do anything dangerous. We're just going to construct a complete cycle for the Time Void Realm."
"Construct a complete cycle for the Time Void Realm..." Bai Lan was startled. "Master, you... are you going back, risking exposure, just to do this?"
"Of course! After all, I promised you!" Ye Ling chuckled lightly.
"Master..."
Bai Lan was deeply moved. She never expected Ye Ling to remember this promise.
After recovering her memories, she herself had almost forgotten about it.
Thinking of this, Bai Lan's eyes became a little moist, her eyes turning red. Her affection for Ye Ling also increased significantly.
"Why are you crying all of a sudden, you little girl?" Ye Ling, on the other hand, was surprised by Bai Lan's reaction and looked at her in astonishment.
"N-nothing... My eyes just got some sand in them. It'll be fine soon!" Bai Lan rubbed her eyes. "I'll go with Master. With my power, it will be easier to guide the beings in the Time Void Realm into the cycle."
"Alright."
Ye Ling did not refuse Bai Lan and directly activated his Source Text, teleporting back to the Time Void Realm with her.
Amidst the endless primordial chaotic storms, Ye Ling and Bai Lan appeared in the center of the storm.
"Master..."
Bai Lan glanced at the surrounding chaotic storms and looked at Ye Ling with confusion. "Are you lost?"
"That's not right... This is the Time Void Realm." Ye Ling frowned slightly and spread his divine soul, only to find that besides the primordial chaotic storms, the Time Void Realm was nowhere to be seen!
However, before absorbing the core power of the Primal Time-Space King, Ye Ling had specifically left his Source Text in the Time Void Realm, intending to return there to construct a cycle after completing his breakthrough.
But now, the Source Text was still there, yet the Time Void Realm had vanished...
"This is the Time Void Realm?" Bai Lan also frowned slightly, then closed her eyes to sense the surroundings, connecting with the primordial chaos.
"This... is indeed the coordinate where the Time Void Realm is located. There are also residual turbulent spiritual energies left from the aftermath of the battle. Could it be that during this time, the Time Void Realm underwent some major upheaval?"
Bai Lan slowly sensed the existence of the Time Void Realm and traces of battle, and then asked Ye Ling, "Master, do you think it's possible that Heavenly Mystery and the Overseers fought, and the Time Void Realm was destroyed in the end?"
"It's possible..." Ye Ling nodded. "Before the Primal Time-Space King perished, he requested aid from the Overseers. When Heavenly Mystery realized he was tricked, he would also return to the Time Void Realm to find me. They likely encountered each other then."
"But I don't understand why Heavenly Mystery would fight the Overseers. Weren't they on the same side before?" Bai Lan was still somewhat confused.
"Heavenly Mystery betrayed the 'Brain' and inherited the will of the Primal Wisdom King. Seeing that he was also targeting the Primal Time-Space King, I estimate he learned some method from the Primal Wisdom King to absorb others' power to strengthen himself."
"If I'm not mistaken, since Heavenly Mystery didn't obtain the core power of the Primal Time-Space King, he turned his fangs towards the Overseers and began hunting them."
"Heavenly Mystery, as the leader of the Seven Pillars, has actually started hunting the Overseers... I never thought I'd witness such a fantastical event one day," Bai Lan exclaimed, feeling incredibly shocked by Heavenly Mystery's transformation.
After all, Heavenly Mystery was once the most loyal of the Seven Pillars to the 'Brain'. It could be said that Heavenly Mystery was half responsible for the 'Brain's' smooth rule over the primordial chaos!
But now, not only had Heavenly Mystery betrayed the 'Brain', but he was also openly attacking the Overseers. It was as if Heavenly Mystery had been 'brainwashed'.
Ye Ling didn't overthink it. After roughly reconstructing the truth of the events, he began to construct a new Time Void Realm within this primordial chaotic storm, gathering all the remnant souls of the Time Void Realm who had tragically died due to the battle between Heavenly Mystery and the Overseers, placing them into the new Time Void Realm for reincarnation.
After completing this, Ye Ling asked Bai Lan, "Lan'er, can you now locate Heavenly Mystery and the Overseers?"
"Master, are you going to find Heavenly Mystery?" Bai Lan asked.
Ye Ling nodded. "Yes, Heavenly Mystery is hunting the Overseers. This is an excellent opportunity for us to pick up the spoils."
"With Heavenly Mystery's current strength, sending mere Seven Pillars from the 'Brain' is meaningless. Those who can fight Heavenly Mystery must be 'them'."
"Even the Singer we encountered wouldn't be so easily dealt with by Heavenly Mystery. If we go now, we might just catch Heavenly Mystery and 'them' in a fierce battle."
"If we're lucky, Heavenly Mystery and 'them' will both have to die today!"
When Ye Ling said this, Bai Lan couldn't help but shiver, feeling that Ye Ling was serious.
"Gulp!"
Bai Lan swallowed, calmed her emotions, and said, "If they are fighting, the commotion must be huge. I'll try to contact the will of the primordial chaos and see if I can find them."
"Yes, I'll leave it to you." Ye Ling nodded, trusting Bai Lan's power implicitly.
And Bai Lan did not disappoint him. Not long after contacting the will of the primordial chaos, she indeed found Heavenly Mystery's location.
"Master! I found them... Heavenly Mystery and the Singer are indeed fighting. I'll take you there now!" Bai Lan said excitedly, about to rush to the location she had pinpointed.
"Wait!"
Ye Ling suddenly pulled Bai Lan to his side, startling her.
"Master?"
Bai Lan looked surprised. Before she could react, she saw a dark, pointed monument appear without warning in the spot where she had just been!
That pointed monument exuded an extremely strange power.
If Ye Ling hadn't pulled Bai Lan back just now, she would have likely died on the spot!
