With only one percent of his strength, he wouldn't even be qualified to contend against this high-level creature. However, Qin Lang had managed to block two of its attacks. This was already a miracle.
However, miracles were not formed by chance. The reason why Qin Lang was able to create such a miracle was because he had created it himself.
That's right, Qin Lang's strength was only one percent of this high-level creature's. He wasn't qualified to contend against it, and it would be difficult for him to even escape. However, Qin Lang still had a potentially powerful ally — the Heavenly Sunflower Holy Maiden!
Although the Sunflower Saintess hadn't even reached the half-step era overlord realm, she was the host of the zeroth universe. In other words, the zeroth universe was still a part of her body. In that case, her mind and willpower could enter the zeroth universe and even affect it.
According to Qin Lang's speculations, if these high-level creatures wanted to turn this zeroverse into a true mysterious passageway, they would have to borrow the Heavenly Sunflower Holy Maiden's body and absorb her vitality to "nurture" a mysterious passageway that connected higher and lower universes. However, these high-level creatures naturally didn't expect that Qin Lang would use the Heavenly Sunflower Holy Maiden to affect this zeroverse.
Just as Qin Lang had said, he didn't know much about the zeroverse or the higher universes. In fact, he basically didn't know much about them. However, this didn't stop him from daring to oppose these high-level creatures, and it didn't stop him from destroying their plans either.
Qin Lang didn't understand his opponents, but he understood himself. He understood the structure and nomological powers of the lower universes. Since this zeroverse was parasitized in the body of a cultivator from a lower universe, this meant that Qin Lang still had a way to affect its operations.
As long as the Heavenly Sunflower Holy Maiden stood firmly on Qin Lang's side, it was equivalent to Qin Lang having an "external aid" in this zeroverse. The Heavenly Sunflower Holy Maiden couldn't help Qin Lang defeat this high-level creature, but she could guide Qin Lang and help Qin Lang find a way to survive and even find a small chance of victory.
The onlookers saw the game more clearly than the players involved. At this moment, the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden was actually a spectator in the battle between Qin Lang and a high-level creature. Although the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden's power was far inferior to that of Qin Lang and this high-grade creature, the Holy Maiden's advantage lay in the fact that she could freely enter and exit this universe with her mind and will. Even the high-grade creature could not stop her from doing so. Furthermore, the high-grade creature did not wish to harm the Holy Maiden at a time like this. After all, if the Holy Maiden were to be severely injured, then their plans would completely fail.
This high-level creature had originally held the absolute advantage, but the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden's psychic power had caused the situation to change. In fact, if Qin Lang made use of it, it was very likely that he could use the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden's spiritual power to leave this Nullverse and successfully escape.
However, Qin Lang had no intention of escaping at this time. Both sides were very clear about this. If Qin Lang really wanted to escape, there would be no need for him to enter this Universe Zero.
"Qin Lang, I never thought that you would actually use the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden!" The high-grade creature's will once again spoke to Qin Lang, as if it wanted to drive a wedge between the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden and Qin Lang. "However, Qin Lang, by doing this, are you prepared to push the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden to the point of no return? If she stands on your side, then perhaps she will be reduced to ashes along with you in the next instant! "
"Uh … Didn't you just say that you could guarantee to kill me with a single blow? It's obvious that your guarantee is actually worthless. Therefore, if you want to shake the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden's trust in me, then it's all in vain, "Qin Lang replied to the high-grade creature.
"Perhaps the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden won't think that way." The high-grade creature continued to play mind games. "Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden, you should think this through. If you stand on our side, then you can become the most powerful existence in the entire lower plane universe. You will even have a higher status than this Qin Lang. However, if you oppose us, then there is only one outcome for you — you will die with him! Therefore, I believe that you should know how to make the most suitable choice for yourself, right? "
This damned high-grade creature's threat to the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden was simple and direct. However, this kind of threat was often very effective. It was simply telling the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden one thing — if she stood on the high-grade creature's side, then she would have an incomparably powerful cultivation base and an extremely high status. If she stood on the other side, then she would only be able to accompany Qin Lang in death.
To any cultivator, powerful cultivation base and power were fatally attractive, especially to cultivators like the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden who had yet to become an era's overlord. They had yet to transcend the laws of their own universe, so it was even more impossible for them to transcend the limitations of cultivators. If they wanted to live forever, they wanted to break through the laws of the universe! As for other things, such as the life and death of all the living beings in the lower plane universe, perhaps they were not things that she truly cared about.
This was not to say that the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden had a bad temperament. Rather, a person's vision and perception were often limited by their realm and status. For example, if a human world was about to be destroyed, then it seemed that everyone in that world should work hard to avoid the apocalypse. However, who could expect a beggar who could not eat enough and wear warm clothes to have the grand goal of becoming the savior of the world? This was not to say that a beggar was heartless and did not understand the greater good. It was just that the only things he considered were his three meals a day and a place to sleep. When would he think about saving the world?
Similarly, with the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden's current cultivation base, why would she think about saving the entire lower plane universe? To her, her greatest wish was to become an era's overlord. This was also the greatest expectation that the Sky Sunflower Celestial Sect had for the Sky Sunflower Holy Maiden. After becoming an era's overlord, one would have endless possibilities. Otherwise, even if one's cultivation base reached the peak of an era's overlord, even if one's lifespan was as long as the sun and the moon, it would still be useless. This was because the sun and the moon also had a limit to their lifespans. Once the sun and the moon's radiance dimmed, and the universe they resided in collapsed and perished, it would be useless even if one's lifespan was as long as the heavens. Only by becoming an era's overlord would one have a chance of escaping.
There was no need to doubt how tempting it was for a cultivator to become an epoch overlord. Hence, there was no doubt that the Sunflower Holy Maiden wanted to become an epoch overlord. Moreover, the reward that the higher being offered her was not as simple as just becoming an epoch overlord. Instead, it was to make her the most powerful existence in the Lower Plane system. Naturally, the temptation of such a reward was immense.
