In an antique room, Ye Xingchen slowly woke up from his coma.
Swish!
After regaining his senses, he suddenly stood up, and his gaze gradually turned sinister.
Wasn't I snatching the Glass Stone? Why am I lying on the bed like a fragment?
Here.
Where is this place?
Creak!
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open.
A woman who still retained her charm walked over and sat down on a chair. She very naturally used her hand to tuck the hair in front of her shoulder and smiled. "You're awake?"
This woman was very beautiful.
Her face was like jade, and her skin was so delicate that it could be broken by the wind. There were no flaws at all.
However, in front of one of the two super straight men in the Sect of All Times, Ye Xingchen, the other party only had a graceful figure. As for her impeccable face, it was like a blank slate.
"Who are you?"
"Zhongli Ziyan."
"I don't know you."
"Don't you know me now?"
Zhongli Ziyan was smiling from beginning to end. Her smile was so captivating.
If it was Little Dou or any other normal martial artist, they would have been overjoyed.
Ye Xingchen's expression didn't change. He said coldly, "You saved me?"
His memory stopped at the moment when he was about to put the Glass Stone into his spatial ring. At the same time, a few dragon beasts rushed over and the situation was critical.
"I don't have that much ability."
Zhongli Ziyan smiled. "The one who saved you is my Alliance Master."
"Alliance Master?"
Ye Xingchen asked, "Who?"
"Night King." Zhongli Ziyan said.
Hearing these two words, Ye Xingchen's expression instantly stiffened.
Ever since he saw the scene of the future in the cave, he had always been conflicted about this name. Now … he was actually saved by him.
Could it be that the future was going to be revealed step by step? In the end, he would have to leave the Sect of All Times and live with that woman forever?
"…"
Ye Xingchen clutched his chest.
If it was before, he would definitely firmly deny it.
But now, he didn't express his opinion. It seemed that he was wavering.
What made Ye Xingchen waver wasn't Jie Lingyao, but the child in her belly. Blood was thicker than water.
"Little fellow."
Zhongli Ziyan smiled. "The alliance head is waiting for you. Follow me to the main hall."
Should I go or not?
Ye Xingchen was struggling internally.
The fearless him was now especially afraid. He was afraid of what would happen in the future. He was afraid that he would slowly walk down the path of no return and leave the Sect of All Times.
Zhongli Ziyan seemed to have seen through Night Emperor's thoughts and said, "Some things are destined to be unchangeable. Since we've come this far, the only thing we can do is face it calmly and not be overly cautious."
"That makes sense."
Ye Xingchen relaxed.
When he walked out of the room, he realized that he was in a moving mountain, surrounded by extremely tall buildings.
That was right.
This was the headquarters of the Nightking Alliance.
The reason why the mountain moved was because of the Mountain Moving Black Tortoise.
Strangely enough, Ye Xingchen was no stranger to him. In fact, he felt a little familiar. He thought to himself, Maybe it's because of what I saw in the illusion.
…
Nightking Alliance Hall.
In terms of scale, it was much more luxurious than the Sect of All Times.
Ye Xingchen walked in. He could no longer calm down because the decorations inside were no different from what he saw in the illusion.
Zhongli Ziyan didn't follow him in.
Thus, he was the only one in the hall.
The atmosphere was so quiet that he could even hear the sound of breathing.
"You're here?"
Just as Ye Xingchen was looking around, a gentle voice came from behind him.
He didn't turn around and calmly said, "I'm here."
"Are you familiar with this place?"
"Yes."
"Are you curious why it's so familiar?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will soon replace you and sit on your chair." At this point, Ye Xingchen finally turned around and looked at the mysterious masked man sitting on the alliance head's throne.
Their gazes met and the atmosphere became even more silent.
"Haha."
Night Emperor raised his head and laughed. "It seems like you've already been to the Sky Spill World and obtained the memories left there."
"You left it?" Ye Xingchen frowned.
"No."
Night Emperor was silent for a moment. "You left it."
"Me?"
Ye Xingchen was stunned.
Night Emperor stood up and walked down from below. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Xingchen and looked out the door. "Cang Ocean has 32 spirit seeds. One of them is the Spirit of Time and Space. It can peer into the past and future."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Xingchen didn't understand.
"I have a close friend who once fused with the most heaven-defying spirit seed in the upper universe," Night Emperor said.
"A friend from nothing?" Ye Xingchen said indifferently.
Night Emperor didn't mind the other's mockery and continued, "He's a proud person, but his talent is extraordinary. In just ten thousand years, he entered the Fate Realm."
"…"
Ye Xingchen was silent.
Ten thousand years to enter the Fate Realm. It was indeed worth bragging about.
Counting the time, Night Emperor had been reborn for less than a hundred years. Wasn't it even more exaggerated that he had reached the half-step?
He didn't think so. Because in this life, he had been able to improve so quickly all because of the sect and the Patriarch.
If it weren't for these factors, he would probably still be trying to break through to the Martial King or Wu Huang in the lower world.
"Your close friend can't be me, right?"
Ye Xingchen knew himself quite well. Just the fact that he was a 'proud and aloof person' was enough to make a connection.
"That's right."
Night Emperor said, "It's you."
Ye Xingchen wasn't surprised.
In fact, after entering the very familiar hall, he had already prepared himself. No matter what secret he learned, he would remain calm, unless … he couldn't help it.
"Later."
Night Emperor continued, "My close friend wasn't satisfied with the status quo. He wanted to pursue higher things, so he began to use the Spirit of Time and Space to peer into the future, hoping to be enlightened."
"What a pity."
"Although the spirit seed is powerful, every time it is used, its lifespan will decrease until one day it runs out of oil."
"Died?"
"Yes."
"…"
Ye Xingchen was speechless.
Entering the Divine Realm didn't mean absolute immortality, but at least one could live for a very, very long time. This kind of method of playing oneself to death was too amazing.
"Fortunately."
Night Emperor said, "He still has the Spirit of Reincarnation."
Ye Xingchen said in surprise, "He fused with two spirit seeds?"
As far as he knew, apart from the sect master, everyone could only inherit one Spirit Seed that existed in the upper universe.
"That's right." Night Emperor nodded.
"Heh."
Ye Xingchen said, "Your friend isn't simple."
"I forgot to tell you." Night Emperor said, "He fused with a total of ten spirit seeds. The other eight are the Spirit of Evil, the Spirit of Fire Soul, the Spirit of Space, the Spirit of Five Thunder, the Spirit of Sand, the Spirit of Withering Glory, the Spirit of Purgatory, and the Spirit of Frost."
"…"
Ye Xingchen opened his mouth and widened his eyes.
He had prepared himself, but this time … he couldn't help it!
One person.
Ten spirit seeds.
Even the Patriarch wasn't so freakish!
"What a pity."
Night Emperor shook his head. "Because he tried to pry into the secrets of the heavens, he was severely punished. After his death, all ten spirit seeds left him and became ownerless again. I don't know if anyone else has inherited them after all these years."
"…"
Ye Xingchen fell silent.
Of the ten spirit seeds, two were inherited by the Patriarch, one by Gu Zhaoxi, one by Ryu Sinan, one by Gongsun Hou, and one by Second Senior Brother. If he took the rest, it would be the same as the Sect of All Times taking them all.
"After saying so much, you should understand now, right?"
"I'm your friend. I have ten spirit seeds." Ye Xingchen lowered his head and walked forward. He stopped in front of the Alliance Leader's throne and said, "I'm still Night Emperor."
"That's right."
The person said, "You're Night Emperor."
"I'm Night Emperor. Who are you?" Ye Xingchen said with a dark expression.
The person stood in place, slowly removing the mask on her face, "You can call me Jie Lingyao, or Empress Lingyao."
