"It's out of control..."
Tian Yun muttered, looking at Tian Ji and Kui Ling locked in combat, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
"I still don't understand. Our top priority is Ye Ling, followed by the Primordial Wise King. The personal grudges between Tian Ji and Kui Ling can be resolved later... Moreover, Tian Ji has already gone berserk and won't live much longer. Why would 'The Brain' choose this moment for Kui Ling to deal with Tian Ji?"
"Isn't this just giving Ye Ling an opportunity?"
Mr. Bai said, "'The Brain' thinks differently from us. It controls the balance of the entire Primordial Chaos. It has its own scales, weighing the importance of everything."
"Since 'The Brain' considers Tian Ji a greater threat than Ye Ling, then for 'The Brain', eliminating Tian Ji is the most effective way to maintain the balance of the Primordial Chaos."
"Also..."
Mr. Bai paused here before transmitting his voice to Tian Yun, "'The Brain's' power has begun to wane."
"What did you say?"
Tian Yun's pupils contracted sharply. He looked at Mr. Bai with a shocked expression, a tempest raging in his heart!
At this moment, he no longer cared about the fight between Tian Ji and Kui Ling. He only wanted to understand what Mr. Bai meant by saying such a thing!
Mr. Bai looked at the berserk Tian Ji and Kui Ling, his eyes narrowing slightly, and continued, "Recently, the Seven Pillars have been going berserk more and more frequently... First Jiu Yuan, then Tian Ji, and now the new Seven Pillar Kui Ling can also go berserk directly..."
"'The Brain's' control over the Primordial Chaos is weakening. It can no longer suppress the power of the Primordial Chaos..."
"Mr. Bai... You can't just say such things!" Tian Yun's hands trembled slightly. "If 'The Brain' knew you were spreading such rumors, you know the consequences."
"Hmph! Whether I'm spreading rumors or not, as a Seven Pillar older than me, don't you truly know nothing in your heart?" Mr. Bai sneered. "'They' are also about to return. Do you think 'they' would return if 'The Brain' wasn't having problems?"
"This..."
Tian Yun pursed his lips, his expression shifting.
Although he didn't agree with Mr. Bai's words, he had also vaguely sensed 'The Brain's' weakness recently.
'The Brain' summoned them with increasing frequency. The entire Seven Pillars had undergone a significant reshuffle. Even wanted criminals in the Primordial Chaos were increasing.
Not only Ye Ling, but many new stars had appeared in other universes, threatening the rule of the Overseers.
In the past, the Overseers alone could manage every universe in the Primordial Chaos effectively. But now, with more and more geniuses emerging, the Overseers were gradually losing control over the various universes...
Although the Overseers still held absolute dominance in the Primordial Chaos, the disruption of the Primordial Chaos's balance represented the beginning of 'The Brain's' decline.
"So..." Tian Yun took a deep breath, looked at Mr. Bai, and transmitted his voice, "What are you going to do next?"
"Nothing," Mr. Bai replied indifferently.
"Nothing?" Tian Yun was stunned, not understanding Mr. Bai's meaning.
Mr. Bai said, "In this situation, as long as you do nothing, you won't make mistakes... 'The Brain' won't target you, and those horrors hidden in the Primordial Chaos won't prioritize dealing with you."
"A Liu, Jiu Yuan, Bai Dao... and even Tian Ji and Kui Ling, they all did too much."
"But..." Fine sweat appeared on Tian Yun's forehead. "Are you sure you won't get into trouble by openly slacking off like this?"
He had been puzzled before why Mr. Bai, whose strength was not inferior to Tian Ji's, did nothing. He hadn't even made a move when he knew Ye Ling was in the virtual world...
If Mr. Bai and Tian Ji had joined forces, Ye Ling would have had no chance of survival!
Now he finally understood... Mr. Bai was indeed slacking off, deliberately not exerting himself!
Mr. Bai did not answer Tian Yun's question, merely smiling, "As an old colleague, I'm just kindly reminding you that Ye Ling is involved in too many matters. No matter who interferes in Ye Ling's affairs, they will not end well... As for how you choose to proceed, that is your freedom."
With that, Mr. Bai no longer blocked Tian Yun and disappeared from his original spot, retreating into the broken void in the sky.
Tian Yun watched Mr. Bai's retreating figure, and his killing intent towards Ye Ling inexplicably weakened.
Although he was also loyal to 'The Brain', after being severely injured in the war against the Seven Primordial Kings, his strength was no longer at its peak. The reason he could still serve as a Seven Pillar was due to his seniority and the support of the other Seven Pillars.
Mr. Bai had always been good to him and often helped him heal his injuries... Now that Mr. Bai had said so much, he had to consider it.
"Tian Yun, what should we do now? Should we stop Tian Ji and Kui Ling?" Not long after Mr. Bai left, the other three Seven Pillars came to Tian Yun's side and asked.
Tian Yun took a deep breath, as if having made a decision, and said, "Let's stand by for now and let Tian Ji and Kui Ling decide the victor!"
"What about Ye Ling and the Primordial Wise King?" a younger Seven Pillar asked, still concerned about completing the mission.
"The virtual world is sealed by Tian Ji, so Ye Ling and the Primordial Wise King cannot escape. Moreover, this mission was initiated by Kui Ling. Even if it fails, we won't be blamed. Don't act rashly!" Tian Yun instructed.
"Alright, we'll listen to you."
These three Seven Pillars trusted Tian Yun implicitly and all agreed, ceasing their interference and watching Tian Ji and Kui Ling fight.
As the other Seven Pillars remained indifferent observers, the battle between Tian Ji and Kui Ling reached a fever pitch. The residual shockwaves from their fight alone were enough to destroy the entire virtual world.
However, Kui Ling's raw strength was significantly inferior to Tian Ji's. Even with 'The Brain's' blessing and successfully going berserk, Kui Ling was still suppressed by Tian Ji.
If Tian Ji hadn't been entirely focused on killing Ye Ling, Kui Ling would have perished long ago.
"Tsk tsk tsk... What a brutal fight!"
Ye Ling, hidden in the shadows, exclaimed as he watched the battle between Tian Ji and Kui Ling. However, to create this situation, he had sacrificed half of his body. At this moment, he didn't intend to stand idly by. He quietly moved towards the space where the Primordial Wise King was, preparing to take this opportunity to eliminate the Primordial Wise King.
However... just as Ye Ling quietly arrived at the broken void in the sky and intended to re-enter the space where the Primordial Wise King was, Mr. Bai, as if knowing where Ye Ling was going, directly stood at the entrance to the Primordial Wise King's space, blocking Ye Ling's path.
"This..."
Ye Ling looked at Mr. Bai blocking his way, his expression instantly turning grim.
