"Resurrect the dead Creator God?"
Ye Ling was completely stunned, never expecting to hear such a thing from the former guardian!
The former guardian continued, "I once went undercover in the Void Organization and worked with Huang for a period of time. He told me all of this personally."
"Moreover, the Void Organization also has a branch in the outer realms, named the Void Palace."
"The Void Palace is a branch of the Void Organization in the outer realms?" Hearing the former guardian's words, Ye Ling was even more shocked, thinking he had misheard.
Forces in the outer realms were generally stronger than those in the inner realms, and their powerhouses were not comparable to those in the inner universe.
Although the Void Organization was top-tier in Earth's Three Realms, if it were to be transplanted to the outer realms, it would likely not even be considered a third-rate force!
Ye Ling couldn't understand why the Void Palace would be a branch of the Void Organization.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
The former guardian continued, "Huang is the sole descendant of the Void Realm royal family. It is said that his bloodline is incredibly precious, and countless people in the outer realms desired to seize it. Therefore, Huang had to flee to the inner universe to escape pursuit from the outer realms."
"The person who established the Void Palace was a servant who previously guarded the Void Realm royal family, and they were all loyal to Huang."
"So that's how it is... I underestimated that fellow..." Ye Ling was immensely shocked, never imagining Huang had such a background!
Seeing Ye Ling's reaction, the former guardian knew Ye Ling had already interacted with Huang and felt compelled to remind him, "It seems you've met Huang too... Don't be fooled by his cultivation being inferior to yours. That person's schemes and ambition far exceed your imagination. Be extremely wary if you encounter him again!"
"Mm... Thank you for the reminder." Ye Ling nodded solemnly, thanking the former guardian, and secretly marked Huang as someone to be cautious of.
"You're welcome. This is just my duty. Cough, cough..." The former guardian smiled weakly, then coughed several times, his hands covered in blood.
Seeing the former guardian cough up blood, Ye Ling's expression changed slightly. He quickly stepped forward to support him, "Are you alright?"
The former guardian waved his hand and smiled, "It seems my time is running out... But I've said what I needed to say, so there's nothing to regret."
Ye Ling said, "I can use my soul power to extend your life for a while. Even without the reincarnation information, you can still live for another century."
The former guardian shook his head, "There's no need. I've lived long enough, and it's time for me to rest. However, there is one thing that still weighs on my mind."
Ye Ling: "Tell me."
The former guardian glanced at the little boy not far away and said to Ye Ling, "For all these years, I have been alone. My former friends and family all died by my hand after I was controlled by the Corrupt Remnants."
"That little fellow is the only friend I've had since I was sealed in the valley. If possible, I hope you can look after him a little after I'm gone."
Ye Ling took a deep breath and replied, "I promise you."
"Thank you..." The former guardian smiled with relief, placing his emaciated hand on his chest, as if intending to do something.
A moment later, the former guardian said to Ye Ling again, "Can you lend me some spiritual energy? I want to retrieve something."
"Of course." Ye Ling replied quickly, unhesitatingly channeling his spiritual energy to the former guardian.
Boom!
As Ye Ling's spiritual energy flowed in, the former guardian's aura surged. His gaunt body also became stronger with the help of Ye Ling's spiritual energy, as if a withered tree had regained its vitality. Even his spirit seemed to improve.
The former guardian quietly felt the spiritual energy flowing within him. After a moment of lingering, he activated the spiritual energy within his body.
Ch!
The former guardian's five fingers suddenly exerted force, piercing into his own chest!
Ye Ling was shocked: "You!"
World Annihilation Spirit Fire said, "Kid, don't interfere. That fellow is planning to give you a final gift. Don't let his good intentions go to waste."
"A gift?" Ye Ling was bewildered but still took a few steps back, watching the former guardian with a complex expression.
The former guardian took out his own heart. Blood dripped from his fingers, and the heart pulsed in his palm.
"Cough, cough!"
The former guardian coughed up more blood, but he endured the pain of digging out his heart and poured his internal spiritual energy into it.
Hum—!
A strange sound suddenly echoed from within the pulsing heart, and then the heart began to glow with a blue light, emitting a peculiar aura.
Soon, the heart transformed into a crystal-clear gemstone!
Within the gemstone, one could see the vastness of the universe and its starry sky.
The former guardian handed the gemstone in his hand to Ye Ling, smiling weakly, "This is the Heart of Myriad Realms. It is the core of my Myriad Realms Insight Domain. Only by possessing the Heart of Myriad Realms can the Myriad Realms Insight Domain be fully unleashed."
"Now that I am a dying man, the Heart of Myriad Realms is of no use to me. Since you already possess my Myriad Realms Insight Domain, giving you this Heart of Myriad Realms... will prevent this treasure from being wasted."
Ye Ling looked at the gemstone lying in the former guardian's palm, his expression complicated, unsure how to respond.
"Don't be polite. With the Heart of Myriad Realms in you, my will can be passed on..."
Seeing Ye Ling hesitate, the former guardian chuckled and, before Ye Ling could reply, directly sent the Heart of Myriad Realms into Ye Ling's body.
The Heart of Myriad Realms transformed into a beam of light and merged with Ye Ling, converging in his heart.
A wondrous power surged from Ye Ling's heart throughout his entire body and into his mind!
Ye Ling instantly felt as if he were at the center of the universe, with endless star rivers flashing before his eyes.
The surrounding space felt like a part of his own body, under his control.
And the starry expanse of the myriad realms was like his home; he could go anywhere he wished.
This was an experience Ye Ling had never had before!
"The Heart of Myriad Realms is truly wondrous..."
As Ye Ling's consciousness roamed the myriad realms and he finally returned to himself, he discovered that the former guardian had turned to stone, and the little boy was crying, leaning on the former guardian's body.
Ye Ling looked at the petrified former guardian before him, his mouth opening, but he didn't know what to say.
World Annihilation Spirit Fire sighed, "Alright... I have to admit, that guy was quite selfless and magnanimous. Even on his deathbed, he was thinking of passing on his power. I can't compare to him as a person."
Ye Ling sighed, "Having received such great kindness from him, in the end, I don't even know his name..."
Regarding this predecessor, Ye Ling felt both admiration and guilt at this moment...
However, just as Ye Ling was feeling guilty, World Annihilation Spirit Fire said, "I know that. He mentioned his name while you were wandering the cosmos."
Ye Ling's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly asked, "What is his name?"
"He said his name is... Xuan Xiao."
"Xuan Xiao?"
Ye Ling's entire body trembled, and he was once again stunned!
