Yue Qingning and Xuan Yu faced each other, like natural enemies, both on the verge of bristling. The surrounding atmosphere grew increasingly tense, as if sparks were about to fly at any moment.
Even the World-Destroying Spiritual Fire on Ye Ling's wrist felt immense pressure. It hid within the runic seal on Ye Ling's wrist, drooping its head, daring not to make a sound, lest it attract the attention of the two.
However, just as the hostility between the two parties was about to reach its peak, Yue Qingning and Xuan Yu simultaneously smiled, and the almost solidified atmosphere between them suddenly dissipated.
Xuan Yu chuckled, "Since younger sister is unwilling to leave, then stay in the domain a while longer. After Ye Ling wakes up, I'll have him thank you personally."
Yue Qingning replied with a smile, "There's no need to trouble you, elder sister. Although I've known Ye Ling for a short time, we've been through a lot. He has already promised to do three things for me unconditionally. With his promise, I am content."
Xuan Yu's lips twitched slightly, but she maintained her smile. "This Ye Ling, he just loves making promises. I've known him for so long, and he's never given me anything. It seems we're too familiar with each other..."
Yue Qingning and Xuan Yu exchanged words, their voices exceedingly gentle. Yet, Tai Yuan, standing by, felt a hidden murderous intent in every sentence, making him profoundly uncomfortable.
Tai Yuan involuntarily looked at the unconscious Ye Ling and murmured, "Imperial Ancestor... I don't know whether to call you lucky or unlucky..."
Whether it was Xuan Yu or Yue Qingning, they were both unique women in the world, and terrifying powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the universe. Either one of them could suppress billions of stars with a single hand!
To be favored by such women was already a blessing accumulated over eight lifetimes. And Ye Ling was favored by two simultaneously... This fortune, even the patriarch of the Chaos Divine Clan like Tai Yuan, envied immensely.
However, such women clearly could not tolerate not being the primary consort. Ye Ling had provoked two at once. Tai Yuan knew without even thinking that Ye Ling would have plenty of headaches in the future.
Thinking of this, Tai Yuan couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.
After an unknown amount of time, Tai Yuan could no longer bear to let the situation worsen. He could only brace himself and interrupt the subtle confrontation between Yue Qingning and Xuan Yu, forcing a smile and saying, "Two ladies... let's return to Earth first. There are still quite a few extraterrestrial invaders there. I think it would be better to deal with them first."
Tai Yuan had now recognized Ye Ling as the Imperial Ancestor and firmly stood on Ye Ling's side.
Since he and Ye Ling were on the same side, he naturally thought from Ye Ling's perspective.
The extraterrestrial invaders were trouble for Ye Ling, and Ye Ling would definitely want to eliminate them.
If that was the case, all those extraterrestrial invaders had to die!
With Tai Yuan speaking up, Yue Qingning and Xuan Yu's tension eased. The two women, smiling, held hands and said in unison, "Indeed, let's return to Earth and clean up the mess."
Seeing their smiles, Tai Yuan shivered and chuckled, "Let's go."
The three, carrying Ye Ling, broke through the void and departed.
This expanse of starry sky once again became deathly silent.
Half a month later, Earth.
Under the powerful sweep of Yue Qingning and Xuan Yu, all extraterrestrial cultivators who had invaded Earth were cleared out. The three realms of Earth returned to peace.
However, this time, the three realms of Earth were undergoing unprecedented upheaval.
More chaotic than the Primordial Era!
Although the extraterrestrial invasion brought chaos to Earth, their arrival also caused the spiritual energy density of Earth to increase manifold. Furthermore, the fall of a large number of extraterrestrial cultivators left Earth with many new extraterrestrial treasures and techniques. Coupled with Ye Ling's previous effort to develop a new cultivation system with the power of the entire universe, Earth entered an era of universal cultivation.
Within a mere half-month, strong individuals emerged from among mortals, including many ambitious figures. The balance between nations was shattered, and wars began to break out.
It was not just the mortal realm; the major divine kingdoms in the immortal realm also experienced turmoil. Many gods who had obtained extraterrestrial relics and surpassed the Saint realm were no longer willing to be ruled, and their ambitions began to swell.
The emergence of numerous Emperor Realm and even Supreme powerhouses plunged the immortal realm into chaos, with frequent wars.
Many of the once-lofty Saints, including the original rulers of the major divine kingdoms, had already perished in this conflict.
Under the grinding wheel of this era, both gods and mortals appeared incredibly insignificant.
Old legends fell, and new legends rose.
As for Chaos Rulers like Yue Qingning and Xuan Yu, they naturally did not have the leisure to manage the development of Earth's three realms. After reinforcing the spatial boundaries of the three realms, they allowed Earth's three realms to evolve on their own, letting the gods and mortals fight amongst themselves.
One day, the turmoil would end, and Earth would welcome a new face—becoming the top martial arts civilization in the inner universe!
On this day, in the Ye Family Manor in Jiangcheng, Ye Ling slowly woke up under the care of Su Ruoxue and Ye You.
Seeing Ye Ling awake, Su Ruoxue's eyes lit up with joy. She quickly took Ye Ling's hand and said excitedly, "Ling! You're finally awake!"
Upon opening his eyes, Ye Ling saw Su Ruoxue's haggard face. He immediately got up, stroked her head, and said with concern, "Silly girl, how many days have you not rested?"
Ye You, standing nearby, said with a hint of annoyance, "Brother... don't always get yourself into such a mess when you go out. Sister-in-law has slept less than ten hours in the past ten-plus days. If sister-in-law hadn't started cultivating, she probably would have collapsed long ago."
Hearing Ye You's words, a flicker of guilt crossed Ye Ling's eyes. He said to Su Ruoxue, "You've worked hard."
Su Ruoxue shook her head, "What hardship is this? I've heard everyone talk about what you've done. You did it for the common people, and I couldn't help in any way. The only thing I can do is support you silently from behind."
Ye Ling smiled, "As long as you and Xiao You are safe, that is the greatest support for me. Without you, saving the common people would be meaningless."
Ye You chuckled, "Alright, brother, stop saying such mushy things. While you were unconscious, the world underwent earth-shattering changes. The Demon Palace has many matters waiting for you to handle. Hurry up and get busy..."
"In the current situation, you can't afford to be lazy."
"You girl... you don't know how to care for your brother." Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, but he still got up, put on his clothes, and walked towards the door. "Then I'll go and get busy."
Su Ruoxue said, "Ling, be careful not to overwork yourself. You are the most important."
Ye You nudged Su Ruoxue with her elbow and smiled, "Sister-in-law, you're worrying for nothing. With my brother's current cultivation, he probably won't get tired until the universe is destroyed. You can rest assured about that."
Hearing Ye You's words, Su Ruoxue's cheeks immediately flushed red. "Xiao You, what are you talking about?"
"Hahaha! Sister-in-law, you're blushing!"
Hearing the laughter from behind, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, pushed open the door, and looked towards the clouds.
Xuan Yu and Yue Qingning were already waiting in the clouds.
