The idea of Ye Ling customizing the Void gave him a stronger feeling that the Book of Void was highly likely to match his conjecture.
However, after a moment of excitement, Ye Ling quickly calmed down and began to consider the potential consequences of obtaining the Book of Void.
As the saying goes, to gain something, you must first give something. If the Book of Void truly had the ability to change the entire Void, then obtaining it would certainly require a corresponding price.
Even the Void God clan, because of the Book of Void, had fallen from being the strongest race in the Void to merely lying in the tombs of the Burial God Tomb, playing a game of guarding treasures with the Dominators who came to participate in the ranking competition in the Hidden Ruins.
For the Book of Void, the Void God clan had paid a great price. If Ye Ling obtained the Book of Void, could he bear the price required to obtain it alone?
As Ye Ling pondered, the members of the Void God clan also handed over their guarded pages. A large number of pages formed a book without a cover but incredibly thick in mid-air.
At this time, the God King had not yet handed over the part of the Book of Void he guarded, but the aura of the book in mid-air had already become exaggeratedly strong. Even Ye Ling felt considerable pressure.
Only now did Ye Ling understand why the Void God clan had covered the entire Burial God Tomb with a barrier before handing over the Book of Void.
If no precautions were taken, the aura of the Book of Void would now spread throughout the entire Hidden Ruins. At that time, no one knew what demons and monsters the Book of Void would attract.
The God King looked at the Book of Void suspended in mid-air, took a deep breath, then released his scepter and placed his hands on his chest.
Soon, the cover of the Book of Void and a portion of the golden pages flew out from his body.
And after the God King took out the part of the Book of Void he guarded, the Void Gods present all showed longing and greed in their eyes.
Many Void Gods present had the thought of snatching the part of the Book of Void in front of the God King.
However, before those Void Gods could act on their inner thoughts, a faint sound of chains dragging echoed from the Burial God Tomb.
All the Void Gods present immediately became obedient, and the terrifying thoughts in their hearts vanished.
The God King no longer dared to hold the Book of Void and sent the Book of Void in front of him into the air.
All the pages of the Book of Void fused together, and the entire book instantly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire Burial God Tomb.
The next moment, the Book of Void erupted with an incredibly terrifying aura, and powerful energy spread outwards, impacting the barrier covering the Burial God Tomb, causing the barrier outside the Burial God Tomb to show strong cracks!
"Not good! We underestimated the power of the Book of Void. The aura of the Book of Void is about to leak. Everyone, quickly stabilize the barrier!"
Seeing that the aura emanating from the Book of Void was about to break through the barrier, the God King's expression changed drastically. He no longer cared about anything else and immediately took action to strengthen the barrier!
The other Void Gods also seemed to have thought of something terrifying, their faces filled with fear. They all acted without hesitation, injecting their power into the barrier to strengthen it!
However, the energy emanating from the Book of Void was too strong. Even with the God King and all the Void Gods working together to maintain the barrier, the cracks on the barrier only grew more numerous!
Ye Ling still couldn't figure out what was happening, but he could see the fear on every Void God's face and guessed that something terrible might happen after the barrier broke.
Without hesitation, Ye Ling also began to act, using his power to help repair the barrier.
The God King immediately shouted to Ye Ling, "Kid! Stop worrying about the barrier! Hurry up and get the Book of Void's recognition. Only when you obtain the Book of Void and calm it down can everything return to normal! Otherwise, if we attract that monster, we will all die!"
Ye Ling quickly asked, "What monster? Why didn't you say anything before?"
God King: "The ancient evil beast that covets the Book of Void, it forever roams outside the Void, unbound by any rules of the Void, and cannot be understood by any living being. The reason our Void God clan has fallen to this state is due to that ancient evil beast!"
"Once it senses the aura of the Book of Void, no matter where it is, it will definitely come!"
"At that time, not only you and I, but the entire Hidden Ruins might be swallowed by it, and all the beings within will die!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
As soon as the God King said this, Ye Ling's expression changed slightly, and he immediately flew towards the Book of Void, "How do I get the Book of Void's recognition?"
God King: "I don't know either. Just go and take the Book of Void. If it doesn't work, forcibly divide it into many parts for us to seal together!"
Hearing the God King's words, Ye Ling almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was like being on the verge of entering the examination hall for the college entrance examination, only to find out he didn't even know what subject he was supposed to be tested on!
However, looking at the dense cracks appearing on the barrier, Ye Ling couldn't think of anything else. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the Book of Void!
Boom!
The moment Ye Ling touched the Book of Void, the Book of Void instantly erupted with a power hundreds of times stronger than before, all impacting the barrier.
"Everyone, work together to maintain the barrier!"
The God King was also startled by this scene. Without any hesitation, he immediately burned his life essence to maintain the barrier.
The other Void Gods also went all out, burning themselves like the God King.
If their life essence was burned out, their souls would scatter, but at least their reincarnation information would remain, giving them a chance to be resurrected... but if that ancient evil beast was attracted, they would leave nothing behind, and the Void itself would forget them!
No Void God dared to take that gamble!
"I'll help you!"
Seeing that the Void Gods were starting to fight desperately, Ye Ling no longer held back. He used his original text to construct the Great Transformation Heavenly Evolution Art and began to send infinite power to the Void Gods!
With Ye Ling's assistance, the pressure on the Void Gods was greatly reduced, and the barrier that was about to shatter slowly repaired itself!
Seeing the situation improve, the Void Gods all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Ling with gratitude.
No matter what, Ye Ling's power was a timely help, saving all their lives.
The God King also recognized Ye Ling's strength at this time and smiled at Ye Ling, "Well done... Now it's up to you. Go and take down the Book of Void."
"Mhm."
Ye Ling nodded slightly and looked at the Book of Void. Instinctively, he placed his hand on the cover of the Book of Void.
The golden light emitted by the Book of Void gradually coiled around Ye Ling's arm and flowed into his entire body.
Seeing this, the God King looked incredulous and exclaimed in surprise, "The Book of Void... is actually signing a contract with him? Who exactly is he?"
Not only the God King, but all the Void Gods present were attracted by Ye Ling and the Book of Void, and they all watched in a daze.
At this moment, a younger Void God, deeply attracted by the power of Ye Ling and the Book of Void, became lost in thought and completely forgot to use his power to repair the barrier.
Crack...
Suddenly, a small crack appeared in the barrier next to the young Void God.
And that faint sound of the barrier breaking was like a death knell, making all the Void Gods' hearts tighten. They all looked at the young Void God in terror.
Rumble!
Black lightning suddenly descended from the sky above the Burial God Tomb, and the space directly cracked open, revealing an incredibly huge claw reaching out from the fractured space!
