Three thousand universes.
After Ye Ling eliminated the Heavenly Dao Emissaries in the real world and erased the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, he returned to the Pure White, living with Su Ruoxue. He occasionally taught Bailan and sometimes traveled to the Eastern Profound Continent for leisure, living a rather carefree and happy life.
On this day, Ye Ling, who was guiding Bailan's cultivation on the Eastern Profound Continent, suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura appearing outside the Primordial Chaos. A massive rift appeared in the sky above the Eastern Profound Continent, and beyond the rift… was nothingness!
"Master, what is that?"
Bailan's eyes also changed slightly as she saw the huge rift suddenly appear in the sky. "It seems to be hiding something very ominous inside."
Ye Ling's brows furrowed slightly. He stared at the massive rift in the sky and murmured, "Strange… the Heavenly Dao Emissaries should have all been cleaned up. Why are there still Heavenly Dao Emissaries, and they even broke into the Pure White?"
"Master, do you know what that is?"
"I'll go take a look!"
Ye Ling didn't say much more. He immediately soared into the air and rushed into the massive rift.
"Master, wait for me!"
Seeing Ye Ling rush into the rift, Bailan didn't think much of it and quickly followed.
As soon as they passed through the rift, Ye Ling saw a giant monster, comparable in size to the Primordial Chaos, coiled outside the Primordial Chaos. Its eyes, larger than the three thousand universes, stared intently at the Primordial Chaos, and its eyes burned with furious flames.
At this moment, Bai Yue, dressed in white, had already blocked in front of the giant beast, using runes to restrain its movements.
"Bai Yue."
"Dad!"
Ye Ling and Bailan spoke at the same time. Bai Yue turned around and said, "You're here… The Pure White seems to have some problems, causing something to break through from reality into nothingness."
"The Pure White has problems?"
Hearing Bai Yue's words, Ye Ling's brows furrowed. "How could that be?"
Bai Yue shook her head. "I'm not sure either, but didn't you and Shan'e go to the real world? That thing came from there. Do you know anything?"
Ye Ling said, "This monster is a Heavenly Dao Emissary, a remnant of the异神 (Yi Shen). I should have cleaned them all up."
"Then you must have missed something. We're in big trouble now," Bai Yue replied calmly. Then, a ball of white light emerged from her palm and was sent to Ye Ling. "This is the memory I extracted from this monster's brain. Take a look."
Ye Ling took the memory sent by Bai Yue and found that it contained a large amount of garbled code. However, amidst the chaotic garbled code, he discovered that the monster seemed to be afraid of something.
Bai Yue said, "For such a big fellow, I can only barely deal with it. If the one it fears comes, we might not be able to stop it, and we'll have to ask Shan'e to resolve it."
Ye Ling gave a wry smile. "We probably can't ask Shan'e."
"Can't ask?" Bai Yue frowned.
Ye Ling: "After dealing with the 异神, Shan'e had already left the real world's Earth, saying they were going to deal with the aftermath of the 异神. I can't contact them now."
Bai Yue said solemnly, "Shan'e went to deal with the aftermath of the 异神, and now the remnants of the 异神 have broken the barrier between reality and fantasy and descended into the Pure White… The situation seems rather grim."
Ye Ling frowned. "Are you saying Shan'e failed?"
Bai Yue: "It's not impossible. One subordinate of the 异神 is enough to crush the Pure White. No matter how powerful Shan'e is, they came from the Pure White, and their limit is there… The forces behind the 异神 are probably beyond our imagination."
Bailan, standing by, listened in confusion and couldn't help but say, "Master, Dad… what are you talking about? I don't quite understand. What kind of force can defeat Shan'e?"
Boom!!!
Just as Bailan was speaking, the void trembled. An incredibly huge palm tore open a gap in the void, and then a being larger than the Primordial Chaos appeared outside the void, staring directly at Ye Ling within the void.
"Finally, I found you, Ye Ling!"
An extremely cold voice came from outside the void, and then the giant palm grabbed the monster that Bai Yue had suppressed and directly pulled it out of the rift.
Soon, Ye Ling and the others heard the monster's screams and the sound of huge chewing!
The being outside had directly eaten the Heavenly Dao Emissary!
Seeing this, Ye Ling immediately blocked in front of Bailan and said to Bai Yue, "Bai Yue! The other party seems to be an 异神-level being. We are no match for them. You take Bailan and go!"
"Go? Where can we go? Look at where the rift leads outside! I'll fight with you!"
Bai Yue shouted sternly. Ye Ling couldn't help but look at the rift in the void and found that outside the rift was the endless starry sky of the real world!
The giant outside had directly broken the barrier between the real and fantasy worlds!
In other words, as long as that giant wanted to, it could easily destroy the void… and even the entire Pure White!
"Damn it!"
Ye Ling realized this and knew that it was meaningless to let Bai Yue and Bailan escape. He looked at the giant outside the rift and said loudly, "You're here for me, aren't you?"
"That's right! My name is Ernest, captain of the幽神号 (You Shen Hao), and the 奥赛维尔 (Ao Sai Wei Er) you killed owed me a lot of money."
"Now that Ao Sai Wei Er is dead and no one will pay my debts, this debt can only be settled by you and your world!"
"Ao Sai Wei Er…"
Hearing Ernest's words, Ye Ling's expression changed slightly. "The guy you're talking about, could it be the 异神 who seized the Heavenly Dao authority?"
"That's right, that idiot!" Ernest said in a deep voice. "That guy owed me a lot of money on 源星 (Yuan Xing), was exiled to Earth to pay his debts, and ended up being killed by beings like you from a two-dimensional world. It's truly a disgrace to 源星!"
Ye Ling's mind raced, and he then asked Ernest, "Your goal is to have me pay off the debt owed by Ao Sai Wei Er, right?"
"That's right… Ao Sai Wei Er is dead, and you only have two options now."
"One, let me destroy your two-dimensional space to vent my anger!"
"Two, you come to the 幽神号 to be a slave and work off Ao Sai Wei Er's debt until it's fully repaid!"
"Master!"
Bailan's expression changed as she heard Ernest wanted Ye Ling to become a slave. She was about to say something but was stopped by Ye Ling!
Ye Ling blocked in front of Bailan and said to Ernest, "As long as I go with you, this matter will be over, right?"
Ernest laughed. "That's right. As a two-dimensional being, you were able to kill Ao Sai Wei Er. That's quite interesting. You'll fetch a good price on 源星."
"As for your world, destroying it would be as easy as a sneeze, and it wouldn't compensate for my losses. I have no interest in destroying it."
Ye Ling fell silent after hearing Ernest's words.
Although he didn't know why Ernest was convinced that he had killed Ao Sai Wei Er, in this situation, with Shan'e absent, the only way he could protect the Pure White was to go with Ernest.
Without much hesitation, Ye Ling took a deep breath and said to Ernest, "Alright! I'll go with you!"
