After escaping from the judgment platform, his interactions with the system became infrequent.
This was because he did not follow the plan the system had set for him.
He disrupted everything the system had tasked him to execute.
The system found itself helpless against Xiao Ye, opting to avoid him rather than confront him.
"Above divinity..."
Xiao Ye mused slightly, uttering words that sent a jolt of fear through the system, "Does that belong to this world?"
The system feigned death once more.
Sitting on his throne, Xiao Ye chuckled, "They had you entangle me in this world, were they so certain I wouldn't pose a threat to them one day?"
"Host, please don't say such things..."
"They will hear, won't they?"
Xiao Ye was testing the waters repeatedly, but the system remained tight-lipped.
Afraid of endangering its host, it dared not reveal anything to him.
Xiao Ye felt trapped in a vast scheme, with countless terrifying eyes observing him from across Blue Star.
They might be beings that transcended all existence, watching the amusement Xiao Ye provided them.
Whether it was the sorrow of his seven rebirths!
Or the decade of his life on the run, with everyone seeking his life, Xiao Ye was branded with the crime of shame.
These eyes seemed to be fixated on his destiny.
Xiao Ye looked towards the sky above the hall, the clear azure expanse pure and transparent.
Yet, his smile was dark, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Ye..."
Hearing Xiao Ye's loud laughter, Xiao Xi couldn't help but walk in.
She was wearing that red dress, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
"Be careful..."
Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Xi with surprise, rising from his throne.
Xiao Xi held a plate of pastries, her gaze falling upon the swirling dark energy surrounding Xiao Ye.
The untamed aura of his peak power was beyond his temporary control.
The potent dark energy filling him was about to harm Xiao Xi!
As the dark energy surged towards Xiao Xi, he also lunged forward.
When Xiao Xi was caught in the wave of dark energy, Xiao Ye quickly pulled her into his embrace.
Xiao Ye frowned, examining Xiao Xi closely to see if she was alright.
"Good, I almost hurt you."
Xiao Xi tilted her head up blankly, gazing at Xiao Ye, "Have you broken through again?"
Xiao Ye drew the surrounding dark energy back into his arm.
The entire hall, shrouded in mist-like darkness, gradually became clear.
Xiao Ye nodded at Xiao Xi.
"Ye, are you harming your body by breaking through so quickly?"
Xiao Xi asked with concern.
Xiao Ye smiled, "How can breaking through cause harm?"
Xiao Xi lowered her gaze; her own breakthroughs had been agonizingly painful...
Each time, it was excruciating.
This was what set Xiao Xi apart from ordinary people.
She had awakened a certain talent from the age of eight.
For a human on Blue Star to advance from C-class to B-class, it would take at least five years.
She had broken through in half a month.
And within half a year, she had reached A-class...
At that time, Xiao Ye had noticed the strangeness about Xiao Xi; her young body simply couldn't control the power.
She was highly likely to suffer a backlash from her cultivation realm.
When Xiao Ye was about to head to the judgment platform, he arranged for her to enter a deep sleep.
During these ten years, Xiao Xi occasionally awoke...
However, she couldn't open her eyes or control her body.
Xiao Xi's cultivation progress slowed.
She had still reached the SS-class realm.
On the vast Blue Star, this was enough to astound everyone.
"Ye, are you hungry? These are the pastries I made."
Xiao Xi presented the pastries she held to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye saw that she had shaped all the pastries into rounds, making them look incredibly cute.
He ate one, "So sweet."
Xiao Xi's eyes sparkled, and she said obediently, "It still tastes like before, doesn't it?"
"Mmm."
Xiao Ye picked up another piece, savoring it with a sense of nostalgia.
He now had the power to protect everyone in the entire Godslayer City.
Unlike ten years ago, when countless infected had died.
Xiao Ye had lost all hope and surrendered to the Blue Star Alliance.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Xiao Xi carefully tucked the half-eaten pastry into her sleeve.
She followed Xiao Ye with light steps. They saw Gu Feng and the others looking expectant.
Upon seeing the tall and imposing Xiao Ye, the oppressive aura he exuded had indeed intensified.
Gu Feng and Zhao Chen revealed looks of joy, "Congratulations, Master, you've become stronger again."
Xiao Ye nodded slightly, his demeanor calm.
He and Xiao Xi walked along the houses.
Gu Feng and the others, unsure of Xiao Ye's intentions, tentatively asked, "That... the female War God is still unconscious. Do you want to go see her?"
"No need."
Xiao Ye shook his head.
His gaze fell on the houses in the distance, where many infected were laboring to build.
"These are humans from the small cities who became new infected. We're having them repair the cityscape..."
The leader managing the new batch of infected immediately became respectful and fearful upon seeing Xiao Ye.
The new batch of ordinary infected remembered Xiao Ye's face.
He had killed countless people and breached the city.
"Greetings, our King..."
These infected trembled and knelt before Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye calmly withdrew his gaze, seeing countless new infected being brought in.
They were all helping the humans of Dragon Slayer City.
The city hadn't been this lively in a long time.
"Where is Wei Qi?"
Hearing Xiao Ye stop, the infected behind him immediately reacted.
"We'll go fetch him now..."
Wei Qi, holding a worn booklet, followed Zhao Chen, sweating profusely.
He didn't know why Xiao Ye was looking for him.
Was it because he hadn't been infected yet, and Xiao Ye didn't trust him enough?
Upon seeing Xiao Ye, Wei Qi's first words were, "Your Majesty, there are still some humans who haven't been infected, and I can't get in line!"
Seeing Wei Qi, a keeper of historical records, looking guilty with a pen in hand.
Xiao Ye showed a hint of amusement, placing his hand on Wei Qi's back.
The old man trembled, his eyes squeezed shut.
"Let's go."
Xiao Ye grabbed Wei Qi by the back, and his figure streaked away like a shooting star.
...
In a room.
"No!!"
Gu Xiaosu woke up with a pale face, sitting up abruptly.
Was this Godslayer City?
She remembered Xiao Ye destroying the small city and killing the strong individuals of Blue Star.
After Gu Xiaosu fainted, she had a terrible nightmare.
She dreamt that Xiao Ye had destroyed the Blue Star Alliance, forcing billions of humans to become infected.
Billions of humans watched Xiao Ye laugh maniacally as he blocked out the scorching sun.
He extended the hand of death towards everyone.
She greatly feared this dream becoming reality.
Xiao Ye must not triumph... he must not become the overlord of the Blue Star Alliance.
She had to stop him!
Gu Xiaosu wiped the sweat from her forehead, threw off the covers, and rushed out of the room.
The infected guarding outside saw Gu Xiaosu wake up.
"Where is Xiao Ye?"
"The King went to the northwest."
Upon receiving the infected's reply, Gu Xiaosu sped off.
