"Hmm... that guy said he was half a Remnant Evil race member." Ye Ling nodded, not hiding anything from Xuan Yu, and told Xuan Yu everything about Cang Feng.
Xuan Yu looked at the Remnant Evil power floating in Ye Ling's palm and clicked his tongue, "Although I've fought with those guys before, this is the first time I've seen Remnant Evil power in a calm state... I didn't expect your Devouring Domain to be able to seize even this kind of power, truly monstrous."
Ye Ling said, "Although this power is strong, I sense an ominous aura from it, so I haven't absorbed it yet."
Xuan Yu said, "You did the right thing by not absorbing this Remnant Evil power. While these powers are strong, no less than the Creation Legacy, they are the foundation the Remnant Evil race uses to control outsiders. If you were to absorb this power, you might be fine for a short time, but in the long run, you would definitely become a Remnant Evil race member."
"The guy you just killed was probably a lackey recruited by the Remnant Evil race."
"Is that so..." Ye Ling frowned, then looked at Xuan Yu again, "Then how should I deal with this energy?"
Xuan Yu said, "Destroy it. Although it's a shame to waste this energy, keeping it will always be a disaster."
"Alright."
Ye Ling did not question Xuan Yu's words and immediately used white runes to seal the Remnant Evil power, obliterating it completely with the power of the runes.
Seeing Ye Ling unhesitatingly erase the Remnant Evil power, Xuan Yu smiled and teased, "Why are you trusting me so readily this time? The power you just destroyed could have created a new Supreme."
Ye Ling smiled, "Although this Remnant Evil power is strong, it is ultimately an evil path. Moreover, I have already obtained the legacy of the Creation Gods, and it is natural for me to be enemies with the Remnant Evil race. I don't need their power."
"Good thing you have some conscience and didn't defect," Xuan Yu chuckled, then glanced at the statue in the hall and sighed, "Although the invaders have been dealt with, the legacy was stolen by them. What a pity."
Ye Ling was quite nonchalant, smiling, "There are gains and losses. As long as the universe is safe, that's what matters. As for whether the legacy was obtained, it's all a matter of fate, no need to force it."
Xuan Yu looked at Ye Ling deeply and said, "I'm starting to understand why my father and the others chose you as their successor... You are indeed different from other people who chase legacies."
Speaking of which, Xuan Yu stretched lazily, "That's right, it's just a legacy, nothing major. I'll go find others. I'm leaving now."
"Goodbye." Ye Ling smiled slightly at Xuan Yu and watched him leave.
After Xuan Yu left, Ye Ling took action to clear Cang Feng's body and the scattered corpses, then walked towards Ye Qingyan.
Seeing Ye Ling approach, Ye Qingyan, still thinking about Xuan Yu who had just left, curiously asked, "Who was that beautiful person just now?"
Ye Ling: "A descendant of a Creation God from beyond the domain. We currently have a cooperative relationship, and you will likely interact with her in the future."
"Oh..." Ye Qingyan nodded slightly and asked again, "Now that the great enemy has been resolved, shouldn't we go back?"
"There's one last thing. I need to repair the cosmic barrier here."
Ye Ling placed his hand on the wall again, pouring his soul power into the hole smaller than a needle's eye.
The cosmic barrier here was too weak, and Ye Ling had to reinforce it before the people from beyond the domain discovered this place.
However, as Ye Ling injected his spiritual power into the cosmic barrier, the entire pyramid structure suddenly began to shake violently.
The statue in the center of the hall suddenly lit up, and the missing half of it actually grew back!
Ye Qingyan's eyes widened in shock as she saw the statue in the center of the hall become complete. She quickly said to Ye Ling, "Ye, Ye Ling... look at the statue!"
"What happened?"
Ye Ling's entire focus was on repairing the cosmic barrier, and he couldn't pay attention to what was happening in the hall. He could only ask.
Ye Qingyan quickly said, "The statue has become complete!"
"The statue has become complete?" Ye Ling was greatly alarmed and wanted to turn back to see what had happened, but the cosmic barrier was like an unfillable chasm, constantly devouring his spiritual power and soul power, preventing him from diverting his attention.
Just then, the entire hall shook even more violently, and the statue in the center of the hall began to come to life, looking as if it were about to awaken!
"It's, it's alive!" Ye Qingyan exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"It's alive?" Ye Ling was also extremely curious at this moment, desperately wanting to know what was happening behind him, but the cosmic barrier was devouring power at an ever-increasing speed. If he wasn't careful, his soul might be sucked in to fill it!
With no other option, Ye Ling had to ask Ye Qingyan, "I can't get away right now. Can you describe the situation to me?"
Ye Qingyan stared at the statue, which was becoming more and more lifelike, and said, "The stone has turned into a person... The statue seems to be coming alive... Wow! So beautiful..."
As the statue transformed into a real person, its peerless beauty was revealed before Ye Qingyan, even causing her to lose herself.
Ye Qingyan's beauty was already considered stunning, and coupled with her ethereal sword immortal aura, she was a sight rarely seen in a thousand years. Yet, even so, she paled in comparison to the statue that had come to life.
"Perfect" was no longer enough to describe the woman who had materialized from the statue.
The awakened woman gracefully leaped down from the platform, her toes lightly touching the ground, causing ripples of light to emanate.
The star chart above the hall also lit up, and beams of blue light shot down from it, painting a star map in the center of the hall.
Ye Ling, who had been having his spiritual power siphoned by the cosmic barrier, was suddenly bathed in starlight. He felt the restless spiritual power within him calm down, and the weak cosmic barrier began to thicken rapidly, becoming extremely robust.
"Done?"
Ye Ling broke free from the cosmic barrier, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected the cosmic barrier to repair itself!
However, Ye Ling didn't overthink it. He turned to look at the hall, where the woman transformed from the statue was dancing. Her exquisite beauty was instantly imprinted in his mind.
"I've seen her..." Ye Ling murmured, lost in thought, as he watched the woman dancing in the hall.
He remembered that it was when Zhang Xiaoling took him to the Nine Heavens Realm that he first saw the statues of the three Creation Gods.
The woman dancing in the hall before him was the third Creation God.
The lost Creation God!
