Chapter 556: Visitors from the Great Star Domain

Qi Yuan extended his finger, and the turtle, with its limbs pointing towards the sky, struggled futilely, its stupidity and dullness evident as it tried to grasp and bite the finger. However, its limbs were too short, and its strength too feeble, making it impossible for it to even flip over.

A formidable existence in the second layer of the Yang Emperor, now behaving as foolish and ordinary as a turtle—how could this not startle anyone?

The four, including Immortal Spirit Handsome, stared at Qi Yuan, and one can only imagine the shock in their hearts.

The Yang Emperor hiding within Wu Chun's consciousness also revealed herself at this moment.

She looked at Qi Yuan, her body trembling as she bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Senior," she said.

Wu Chun and Tong Chang also snapped out of their daze and hurriedly bowed in reverence.

"Paying respects to Senior!" they exclaimed.

Qi Yuan's previous action had truly stunned them.

A majestic being in the second realm of the Yang Emperor was effortlessly manipulated by the man before them.

What kind of realm was this?

Could it be the legendary Great Principle Realm?

As for higher realms like the Sovereign, they dared not even imagine it.

To them, a Sovereign was akin to a Yang Emperor to a mortal, an existence far beyond their reach.

Immortal Spirit Handsome blinked, his face contorting, "You... you've really become a Sovereign?"

He recalled the content of Qi Yuan's communication artifact.

Initially, he had been astonished.

Later, he had convinced himself that his brother didn't drive a Land Rover, and that had calmed him.

But now, his brother was driving a freaking sky battleship!

The other three's hearts skipped a beat.

A Sovereign?

The Cosmic Overlord Sovereign?

This overly youthful man before them was a Sovereign?

"Yes, I'm a Sovereign. Didn't I already tell you?" Qi Yuan said calmly. "Unless you've developed amnesia and forgotten?"

Immortal Spirit Handsome's heart raced with a mix of emotions. He stared at Qi Yuan, his mind swirling with thoughts.

The expressions on the faces of the other three were even more fascinating.

A Sovereign, the legendary Sovereign!

In the Zhou Universe, Sovereigns were exalted, rarely appearing in the mortal realm.

Ordinary Yang Emperors might live their entire lives without ever qualifying to meet a meet a Sovereign.

And they had encountered a living Sovereign!

However, in the next moment, Immortal Spirit Handsome's reaction caught them off guard.

"Hey... Brother Qi Yuan, cough, don't you owe me some favors?" Immortal Spirit Handsome asked boldly, his expression both obsequious and comical.

The other three were dumbfounded.

Calling out a Sovereign's name without fear of death, even the eradication of their true spirits?

And to directly tell a Sovereign that he owed them a favor—wasn't that a lack of social skills?

Didn't they fear the Sovereign losing his temper and killing them all in a fit of rage?

"Yes," Qi Yuan nodded calmly.

"Then how about this... I'll recognize you as... my grandpa?" Immortal Spirit Handsome shamelessly suggested.

He dared not ask to be a foster father or godfather, as the gap between them was too vast.

The other three, witnessing this, felt both awe at Immortal Spirit Handsome's audacity and disgust at his shamelessness for uttering such words.

"No, I don't want my daughter to have another godson. She's still so young," Qi Yuan directly refused.

Qi Yuan couldn't bear the thought of little Qi Jian becoming someone's godmother at such a young age.

Unfazed by the rejection, Immortal Spirit Handsome continued, "Then how about I become your disciple?"

He was quite hopeful.

If it were any other Sovereign, he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

But Qi Yuan was different.

To Qi Yuan, all the beings in the world seemed insignificant.

"I'm too lazy to take on disciples. It's troublesome... How about this, I'll help you revise your cultivation technique to improve your strength, or maybe even help you comprehend a rule prototype?" Qi Yuan offered.

This explanatory NPC had indeed helped him a lot, and Qi Yuan always repaid his debts with clarity.

Although sometimes, the repayment far exceeded what others had given him.

But he didn't care in the slightest.

In life, one should do as they please, following their heart's desires.

Immortal Spirit Handsome's eyes shone with wild joy.

The other three were deeply envious, but they dared not show it.

After all, they weren't familiar with this Sovereign.

What if... what if this Sovereign decided to eliminate them? No one could save them.

They didn't dare to casually guess the Sovereign's thoughts; it would be like an ant trying to comprehend the mind of a deity.

...

[Devious Origin, the essence of Black Heaven, has split, possessing polluting properties... Where the Devious Origin is, Black Heaven is present.]



Qi Yuan's eyes flickered with curiosity as he examined the Devious Origin in his hand.

He had extracted a strand of Devious Origin from the Yang Emperor.

As for the Devious Origin on Qi Huang, it couldn't be extracted due to its activation.

The Devious Origin before him resembled a grain of long-grain rice, translucent and captivating, almost mesmerizing to behold.

"It seems that the Yang Emperor of Black Heaven and Black Abyss intends to invade the Zhou Universe through the Devious Origin," Qi Yuan deduced.

This Yang Emperor from Black Heaven and Black Abyss had been using Devious Origin pollution as bait.

In the Void Playground, there were numerous tasks related to detecting Devious Origin energy.

Countless Void Travelers arrived in the Divine Wood Universe to record the Trickster Source's aura.

At this moment, the Yang Emperor of Dark Heaven Black Circle would take action, controlling these Void Travelers and implanting the Devious Source into their True Spirits, allowing them to carry it into the Void Playground.

In this way, the Devious Source would take root in the Zhou Universe.

For Dark Heaven Black Circle, the Zhou Universe was like a second Divine Wood Universe.

"Is Dark Heaven Black Circle so confident?" Qi Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

The Zhou Universe was not the Divine Wood Universe.

The Zhou Universe had the existence of a Heaven-Creating Realm Sovereign.

In terms of strength alone, even a hundred or ten thousand Divine Wood Universes were no match for the Zhou Universe.

Dark Heaven Black Circle actually had the audacity to make a move on the Zhou Universe.

"What exactly is Dark Heaven...?"

"I really want to see Dark Heaven."

Qi Yuan murmured.

If he could see Dark Heaven with his own eyes, he would know its true nature.

He also wanted to see this so-called Dark Heaven and find out who this revered being was.

...

Cosine Realm.

Shangguan Qingteng, dressed in black, looked like an ordinary old man.

Shangguan Qingmiao sipped on some wine, her eyes carrying a hint of sadness.

"Qing Miao, it's useless to be sad now that things have come to this," Shangguan Qingteng consoled her.

Following Yuan's instructions, the two of them rushed from the Great Star Domain to the Chaotic Star Domain to rescue Qi Yuan, a talented individual with the potential to break through to the Ancestral Deity Realm.

Before their departure, seventeen armies from the Great Star Domain, including the Green Cloud Army, the War Star Army, and the Paint Star Army, rushed to the front lines to block the Dark Heaven Black Circle's forces.

The number of these armies, when combined, exceeded a hundred million.

They marched at full speed, without rest, one after another, undeterred by the elements.

It took three years to reach the battlefield, and in less than three months, they were all defeated.

Sweat and blood filled the front lines.

In the end, the front lines still fell.

Upon receiving this news, Shangguan Qingmiao's mood was indescribable.

She was deeply saddened.

"Big brother, do you think... their deaths were worth it? Can future generations... protect this land?" Shangguan Qingmiao's face was filled with sorrow.

This was not an isolated incident; countless souls had been buried on the front lines of the Divine Wood Universe for many years.

The Void Sea was like a giant blood-soaked meat grinder.

Shangguan Qingteng sighed, helplessly saying, "Do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Surrendering would undoubtedly mean death, but so would fighting. However, at least they would die standing.

"I say, we might as well surrender to the Radiant Assembly. Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope!" Shangguan Qingmiao said with dissatisfaction.

Shangguan Qingteng's eyes flashed with a profound expression, "In a universe, there can be those who are cautious, but there also needs to be those who dare to fight, and we happen to be the latter."

In the Radiant Assembly, the highest leader of the Divine Wood Universe was Yuan's younger brother, Yi.

Yuan chose Human Enlightenment.

Yi chose Divine Enlightenment.

If Human Enlightenment failed, Divine Enlightenment could carry some of the Divine Wood Universe's legacy and rekindle it in the Radiance Universe.

In the 1619 book bar, there's an error-free version!

Of course... the Radiance Universe is good, so they'll give us a chance to live? This was something no one could have predicted.

"Forget it, I'm used to being arrogant and domineering. I can't bring myself to surrender to the Radiant Assembly," Shangguan Qingmiao muttered, finishing the wine in her hand.

Shangguan Qingteng tapped the table, his emotions also showing a hint of melancholy, "Once we bring Qi Yuan to the Great Star Domain, if he breaks through to the Ancestral Deity Realm, it will be a boost to our strength."

"Yes, according to the boss, Qi Yuan has high talent, and there might still be a chance to break through to the second level of the Ancestral Deity Realm in the future," Shangguan Qingmiao said, her face showing a hint of excitement.

This was also considered good news.

Currently, what the Great Star Domain lacked the most was high-level combat power.

Both the Human Enlightenment and Divine Enlightenment plans had been underway for tens of thousands of years.

Countless Artificers had died for this cause.

There were now seven Human Enlightenment Treasures.

Facing the invasion of Dark Heaven Black Circle, the Divine Wood Universe was no longer helpless in resistance, unlike hundreds of years ago when Yuan went to the Void Sea alone to face multiple times the number of enemies.

Now, what they lacked the most was high-level combat power.

"Heh, now that Dark Heaven Black Circle is invading, we'll bite off a piece of their flesh," Shangguan Qingmiao chuckled.

As for the final outcome, they knew it, but would they not resist just because they knew?

"Hmph, even if they have the Trickster Source and can revive infinitely, we can still wear them down and deplete some of their Trickster Source!" Shangguan Qingteng said.

In truth, he also understood that the Trickster Source was infinite and could never be exhausted.

Hadn't the Void Realm Lord of the Zhou Universe also avoided provoking Dark Heaven Black Circle?

However, being able to take a bite out of Dark Heaven was a good thing for them.

"Sir, bad news!"

At this moment, a Celestial Armament Controller approached, his face filled with anxiety.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Qingteng felt a sense of foreboding.

"The recent teleportation array... I'm afraid we can't use it." The Celestial Armament Master spoke with concern.

The energy required for a Celestial-level expert like him was immense.

Therefore, Shangguan Qingteng and Shangguan Qingmiao had been waiting in this realm for the person from the Human Enlightenment to arrange a passage to the Gold Quail Realm.

"What happened?" Shangguan Qingmiao asked anxiously.

"I heard... fifteen Yang Emperors are heading towards the Gold Quail Realm, and the surrounding worlds are on high alert. Something major must have happened in the Gold Quail Realm," the Celestial Armament Master said gravely.

Shangguan Qingteng's face paled slightly. "Could it be...?"

A terrifying thought crossed his mind.

Yuan had once mentioned that the ninety-nine Trickster Gods of the Gold Quail Realm were hunting for Qi Yuan.

The Gold Quail Realm's Qi Huang was a famous second-generation rich heir, possessing numerous treasures that could surround and kill Mythical beings.

With over a dozen Yang Emperors heading to the Gold Quail Realm, it implied that... Qi Huang was most likely killed by Qi Yuan.

It was highly possible that Qi Yuan had advanced to the Yang Emperor realm during the battle.

Such talent was truly fearsome.

But...

"With over a dozen Yang Emperors... Qi Yuan is undoubtedly doomed."

Even if Qi Yuan had just advanced to the Ancestral Deity realm, facing a dozen Yang Emperors would be a challenge.

"We can't hesitate; we must forcefully break through the teleportation array and take Qi Yuan to the Great Star Domain. It's our only chance for survival." Shangguan Qingteng.

This was their only opportunity, and every second counted. There was no room for hesitation.

"Agreed!" Shangguan Qingmiao nodded.

He knew that one wrong move could lead to their demise in the Chaotic Star Domain, but there was no better option.

They could die, but the seeds of Human Enlightenment, the ones who could lead the Divine Wood Universe, must survive.

They were the hope of the Divine Wood Universe.

"Let's go!"

Two terrifying auras soared into the sky, rushing towards the teleportation array.

Their combined might was awe-inspiring, and the Trickster Gods who tried to block them were no match, falling within an instant.

By taking action, they had exposed themselves, and an endless pursuit would soon follow.

"Let's go."

At that moment, in the Gold Quail Realm.

Qi Yuan appeared relaxed.

"As expected, no one has disturbed me, and my Mortal Transformation is progressing much faster."

Now, his Mortal Transformation was advancing at a remarkable pace.

"If I can continue like this for three or four years, I should be able to complete the transformation and succeed in my Mortal Transformation." Qi Yuan muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, a gem will shine no matter where it is."

"Even with my handsome looks, if I stay indoors all the time, those Trickster Gods will still find me and try to stop my Mortal Transformation."

"So... why don't I... slaughter all the Trickster Gods in the Chaotic Star Domain? Then I can focus on my Mortal Transformation."

Qi Yuan had a sudden idea.

No one could stop his Mortal Transformation! Just then, two terrifying auras descended from the sky.

These auras were enough to make even the Trickster Gods tremble.

A vast voice echoed through the realm.

"Where is Qi Yuan? We are from the Human Enlightenment, sent by Yuan to escort you to the Great Star Domain. With over a dozen Unique True Spirit Yang Emperors chasing after you, we must hurry!"

The two Ancestral Deities showed no hesitation and quickly introduced themselves.

They had sensed that the dozen Yang Emperors were closing in on their location, and they would arrive soon.

If they didn't leave now, it would be too late.

"From the Human Enlightenment?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

He hadn't expected Yuan to send someone to retrieve him.

"Don't worry. With my divine power reaching its peak, I've become a Sovereign. These minor enemies are no match for me; I can easily slay them with a wave of my hand." Qi Yuan spoke calmly.

Hearing Qi Yuan's response, Shangguan Qingteng and Shangguan Qingmiao, who were watching from above, initially had looks of joy, but their expressions changed to confusion the next second.

This Qi Yuan... has he lost his mind? How did he become a Sovereign?

Without hesitation, they descended and landed in Qi Yuan's courtyard.

"We must leave now; the Great Star Domain is safe."

The Gold Quail Realm, situated in the War Star Army, was the Trickster Gods' territory, and they couldn't stay there for long.

"Wait, it's safe here. I'm a Sovereign; who dares to provoke me?" Qi Yuan said casually, "Besides, I'm in the middle of my Mortal Transformation to advance to the Yang Emperor realm, and I don't have time to go to the Great Star Domain."

Hearing this, Shangguan Qingmiao was speechless.

Qi Yuan's words were incoherent; he claimed to be a Sovereign and then mentioned his Mortal Transformation to the Yang Emperor realm.

"Let's go!"
