Tian Xing stood high in the sky, feeling an unprecedented clarity. Every blade of grass, every tree, and every living being in the chaotic battlefield was within her gaze.
Tian Xing looked out, able to see the wing patterns of a mosquito millions of light-years away with perfect clarity!
"This feeling... it's so marvelous."
Tian Xing murmured. With a mere thought, the mosquito's wings, millions of light-years away, were precisely cut into hundreds of fragments!
Seeing that Tian Xing had inherited her origin legacy, the Shadow of the Upper Realm said to Bai Qing, "Bai Qing, as agreed, I have handed over my origin legacy. You should also keep your promise and spare my life."
"Alright!"
Bai Qing smiled faintly at the Shadow of the Upper Realm, then clenched his five fingers, crushing the Shadow of the Upper Realm directly, scattering its soul to the winds!
Ye Ling was stunned to see Bai Qing kill the Shadow of the Upper Realm directly. "Senior, you?"
Bai Qing chuckled, "Although the Shadow of the Upper Realm has handed over its origin legacy, its existence is still a threat. Killing it will eliminate all future trouble."
"Little one, remember this: the promises of supreme beings are meaningless, for there is no power in the world that can restrain them. Therefore, when you go to the Origin Upper Realm in the future, you need not trust anyone, not Tian Xing, nor me."
Hearing Bai Qing's words, Ye Ling was deeply shaken. He then respectfully bowed to Bai Qing. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
"You're a good kid, I like that."
Seeing that Ye Ling had taken his words to heart, Bai Qing nodded approvingly and said to Ye Ling, "With the Shadow of the Upper Realm dealt with, I have also fulfilled my promise to Shan and E. It's time for me to head to other Origin Lower Realms to search for the Seed of Origin. Little one... goodbye."
Ye Ling quickly called out to Bai Qing, "Senior, wait!"
Bai Qing asked Ye Ling, "Is there something else?"
Ye Ling immediately took out the World-Destroying Spirit Fire and asked Bai Qing, "Senior, this is a friend of mine. He swallowed too much dark power while saving me, and is about to become a substitute for the Upper Realm Lord. Can you please help me save him?"
"Oh? Bring it here, let me see."
Bai Qing took the World-Destroying Spirit Fire into his hands and examined it carefully. He then said, "This fellow's will has not been completely consumed. It won't be difficult to save him."
Upon hearing Bai Qing's words, Ye Ling's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Please, Senior, lend your aid!"
Bai Qing looked at Ye Ling deeply, then smiled, "Little one, if you want me to help save him, you need to do something for me."
Ye Ling said quickly, "Please, Senior, tell me!"
Bai Qing asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to ask me what I want you to do?"
Ye Ling replied, "I must save the World-Destroying Spirit Fire. I will spare no effort for it, so whatever request you make, I will agree."
Bai Qing continued to ask, "What if my condition is something you cannot accomplish with your current strength?"
Ye Ling replied, "Then I will increase my strength until I am qualified to fulfill your request!"
Seeing Ye Ling's determined and serious demeanor, Bai Qing chuckled again. "Truly a lovely child. Then I shall entrust that matter to you."
Ye Ling: "Please, Senior, tell me!"
Bai Qing said, "When you go to the Origin Upper Realm, go to the Shangqing Palace and slaughter everyone there."
Ye Ling asked, "May I ask, Senior, what kind of force is the Shangqing Palace?"
Bai Qing replied, "It's related to you. The Shangqing Palace was founded by the Upper Realm Lord and is quite famous in the Origin Upper Realm. However, I'm busy searching for other Origin Lower Realms and don't have time to deal with the Shangqing Palace, so I'm leaving this small matter to you. How about it? Can you do it?"
Ye Ling said without hesitation, "Rest assured, Senior, I will not fail you!"
Bai Qing chuckled and said, "I believe you. Since that's the case, I should fulfill your request now."
As he spoke, green sprouts grew from Bai Qing's palm, entwining the World-Destroying Spirit Fire. A soft green light slowly seeped into the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's body.
Soon, the dark power within the World-Destroying Spirit Fire was completely cleared, and even its aura had increased significantly!
"Alright, he will wake up automatically after some time."
Bai Qing returned the World-Destroying Spirit Fire to Ye Ling and asked, "Do you have anything else?"
Ye Ling collected the still-sleeping World-Destroying Spirit Fire into his wrist and bowed to Bai Qing again. "Senior, I do have one more matter. Your daughter, A Yu, is still in our Origin Lower Realm. Do you need to take her with you?"
"A Yu, that girl..."
Bai Qing pondered for a moment, then said to Ye Ling, "She won't learn much from me, and it's very dangerous. It's better to let her stay here honestly. With Shan and E's protection, and you as her master, I don't need to worry about her future."
Ye Ling: "Yes."
"Alright, that's all for now. Goodbye."
With that, Bai Qing did not linger and vanished from the spot.
As Bai Qing left, the hundred flowers in the valley, deprived of his power, withered rapidly. The vast and beautiful valley instantly turned into barren land.
Seeing the surrounding environment change, Ye Ling couldn't help but marvel at Bai Qing's immense power.
When Tian Xing saw Bai Qing leave, she landed in front of Ye Ling and knelt on one knee, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Master, for your fulfillment. From now on, Tian Xing will follow you forever and never betray you."
Seeing that Tian Xing was even more respectful towards him after becoming a supreme being, Ye Ling's mouth twitched slightly. "Your strength is far greater than mine now. Being called Master still feels a bit unaccustomed. Just call me Ye Ling. It will be more equal."
Tian Xing: "Yes..."
Ye Ling continued, "Also, you don't need to be so humble. Just be as you were before."
"Okay."
Tian Xing, obedient to Ye Ling's words, stood up and asked him, "We've dealt with the Shadow of the Upper Realm. Should we go to the Emperor's Palace to find the key next?"
Ye Ling nodded. "Yes, now that you've become a supreme being, there's not much left to do in the chaotic battlefield. Let's go directly to the Emperor's Palace."
"By the way, destroy this for me. Can you do it?"
As he spoke, Ye Ling threw the Heart of Darkness to Tian Xing.
Ye Ling had originally planned to use the Heart of Darkness to create a new supreme being specifically to annoy the Upper Realm Lord. Now that the new supreme being had become Ye Ling's subordinate, the Heart of Darkness was of no use to Ye Ling.
"I can do it."
Tian Xing took the Heart of Darkness and crushed it with a gentle squeeze of her fingers.
Meanwhile, the Upper Realm Lord, who was still recovering from his injuries in the Void Abyss, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura became extremely weak!
"Damn Tian Xing! How dare she destroy my Heart of Darkness!"
The Upper Realm Lord's face contorted with rage. He glared fiercely at Shan and E, who were playing checkers in the distance, his forehead veins bulging, his expression growing more and more distorted.
"You two scoundrels, if you have the guts, let me out!!!"
The Upper Realm Lord roared, and a vast amount of dark power surged from his body, rushing towards Shan and E in the distance.
However, at this moment, a glass marble whizzed through the air, easily piercing the dark power and shooting through the Upper Realm Lord's forehead.
The Upper Realm Lord dissolved into black mist.
E, without even looking at the Upper Realm Lord, said to Shan, "Hey? I'm missing a glass marble? This round doesn't count!"
Shan looked at E speechlessly and retorted, "Since when did you become so good at cheating? Can't you just admit defeat honestly?"
E replied, "You haven't won, so why should I admit defeat? This checkers is boring. Let's switch to another game."
Shan sighed helplessly, "What are you going to play this time?"
E smiled slyly, "I discovered an interesting holographic online game in Earth's year 2077. Let's each create a character, no pay-to-win, no cheating, and see who can reach the top first!"
Saying that, E raised his hand, and two holographic game helmets appeared before them.
Seeing the helmet in front of him, Shan sighed slightly, then said, "I will be the one to reach the top."
With that, Shan picked up a helmet, put it on, and began creating a character.
Seeing Shan enter the game, E smiled with ill intent. He then looked at the Upper Realm Lord, who was re-forming his body nearby, and sent him a helmet as well. "Upper Realm Lord, if you can kill Shan once in the game, I'll give you a backdoor to let you out. How about it?"
The Upper Realm Lord took the game helmet and asked E, "Are you serious?"
E smiled, "Of course I'm serious. Of course, the condition is that you can't cheat either."
The Upper Realm Lord sneered, "I couldn't beat you in reality, but I don't believe it's the same in the game. You two just wait!"
He roared, and his body turned into thick black mist, drilling into the game helmet in front of him.
And so, in a popular holographic online game born in Earth's year 2077, a bloody battle once again began...
