The two extraterritorial God Monarchs' psyche bodies left, but God Monarch Joy's threatening words still reverberated above Chaotic City for a long time.
Ye Zichen didn't rashly chase after them. First of all, he couldn't catch up to them.
What's more, the Gods were just outside the Era. If he chased after them rashly, the situation he'd just managed to stabilize might worsen.
Fighting God King Joy had consumed a great deal of Ye Zichen's energy.
He needed to take advantage of this opportunity to recover. Even if he couldn't return to peak condition, he couldn't risk facing the Outside's greater challenges.
The Era's self-healing abilities began to repair the ruined space.
Ye Zichen sat cross-legged on the ground, clutching several bottles filled with pills.
Suddenly, a beam of fiery light shot towards him. The surrounding temperature instantly surged.
Ye Zichen, who'd fused with the fire elemental spirits, didn't seem uncomfortable in the face of this heat. He swallowed two elixirs and looked ahead. The Purgatory Flame Demon that he had summoned was standing right in front of him.
"Great Era Leader!"
The Purgatory Flame Demon placed its fiery hands on its chest and bent its right leg, as if bowing to Ye Zichen.
Just as the demon was about to kneel, Ye Zichen raised his hand and gently held it in place.
"Flame Demon King, there's no need for that. I'll have to trouble you this time!"
"The Flame Demon Race is eternally loyal to the Era Leader. Planet Lord, please dispatch us at any time."
As he spoke, the Purgatory Flame Demon's body gradually turned transparent. However, before it disappeared, it looked at Ye Zichen with respect.
"My understanding of power is still too shallow. I can only summon the Purgatory Flame Demon for such a short time."
The fusion of the five elemental spirits calmed the three rampaging energies in Ye Zichen's body. They represented the five elements of heaven and earth, so naturally, Ye Zichen's Dao of the Five Elements reached perfection and condensed a dao heart.
As his dao heart condensed, Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness gained many new elemental mysteries.
Among them, the Purgatory Flame Demon was one of the fire elemental mysteries.
According to the records in the Dao Heart, Purgatory Flame Demons lived in the distant Purgatory Space outside the epoch. An adult Purgatory Flame Demon's combat strength was even higher than a Transcendent Epoch, and it could last for several hours.
However, Ye Zichen had just transcended, so he could only summon the Inferno Demon for a few minutes.
The Flame Demon could only use the most ordinary flames, and could not use any other combat skills.
If God Monarch Joy's fire-elemental profundity had been comprehended to the pinnacle, it would have been very difficult for her to leave this place easily.
Godly Monarch Pleasure had personally said that he felt an unprecedented sense of danger from the Purgatory Flame Demon.
Unfortunately —
Time was still too short.
Ye Zichen sighed regretfully, then couldn't help but look down at his hands.
The Five Elemental Arms allowed his Five Elemental Dao to condense his Dao Heart. However, their fusion was not only a good thing.
As they fused with him, Ye Zichen's Dao of the Five Elements grew exponentially stronger. This completely suppressed the power of his godheads and stars, which had once been the backbone of the Three Clans.
"I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse."
Ye Zichen muttered to himself, but before he could finish his sentence, he heard a childish retort.
"What do you mean by that? We are your saviors."
The one who spoke was the fire elemental spirit. He put his hands on his hips and spoke like a little adult. "A Purgatory Flame Demon with fire-elemental profundities can hold its own against multiple transcending experts for an hour. I'm sure you know the value of other elemental profundities. The few of us can even fight on our own, completely relying on our own will to control the natural elements. Yet you're hesitating?
Are they worth more than the power of godheads and the power of the stars? "
"Maybe!"
Ye Zichen didn't argue back.
From the elemental spirits' expressions, it was clear that they believed that their self-awareness and ability to control the elements on their own would be very valuable in real combat.
That was indeed the case. Just now, Ye Zichen had ordered the lightning elemental spirits to deal with Zhou Wu.
The fact that the elemental spirits could share Ye Zichen's burden was their advantage.
Little did they know, Ye Zichen was hesitating because of their self-awareness!
Having self-awareness meant that they wouldn't completely obey Ye Zichen's orders. They would make their own decisions based on the actual situation.
If, at a critical moment, the elemental spirits decided to quit!
The Second Era was a living example!
Ye Zichen rubbed his nose and pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind.
Now that he'd fused with the five elemental spirits, thinking about such things was pointless. No matter what, fusing with the five elemental spirits was beneficial. As for whether the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, he'd have to slowly figure it out.
Right now, he was more concerned about Zhou Wu!
After this battle, he'd gained a solid understanding of the God King's power.
Ye Zichen was certain that God King Joy wasn't serious yet. Even so, he couldn't take advantage of her. The God King had already sounded the horn to attack. Knowing that someone had transcended in the First Era, they wouldn't give themselves too much time.
Stubbornly defending wasn't a good idea!
The defense of the first era also ended up being destroyed in the end.
In this smoke-filled war, the best way to defend was to attack. The First Era's Master of the Stars had probably thought of this as well, which was why he'd sent so many resources and talents to the Third Era.
The First Era needed to fight back against the God Race!
As such, they couldn't do without top-tier experts!
Zhou Wu, who'd also transcended, was the perfect candidate. Of course, that was on the premise that they could snatch his soul back.
Ye Zichen looked at Zhou Wu. His soul was in God King Joy's hands. The torture he'd suffered just now had affected him considerably. However, Ye Zichen guessed that he'd recovered from it by now. He'd wanted to discuss how to snatch his soul back from God King Joy's hands ….
"Divine Arbiter …."
Zhou Wu knelt on the ground, his face contorted in pain. He held the Divine Arbiter, who'd long since lost all contact.
"Divine Arbiter, wake up! Divine Arbiter, it's me, Zhou Wu …."
Zhou Wu knelt on the ground, sobbing. He shook the Divine Arbiter in his arms, calling out to her without pause.
But ….
The woman who'd once loved him so deeply hadn't said a single word to him.
When he saw this, Ye Zichen could only sigh. He didn't want to see the Divine Arbiter die either. Even now, he could still remember how the Divine Arbiter had contacted them behind Zhou Wu's back. However, she'd sworn that she'd never betray Zhou Wu.
To outsiders, the Divine Arbiter was a foolish woman. Even though Zhou Wu had long since lost all reason, she'd used her own methods to save him. Even though Zhou Wu had attacked her with weapons, all she'd thought about was saving their child.
How foolish!
Was it worth it for Zhou Wu?
Anyone would think the same way. But if someone could see how Zhou Wu treated her ….
How petty he'd been to save her!
Ask yourself this.
Perhaps it had been worth it!
Zhou Wu had betrayed everyone in the world, but the Divine Arbiter still held an important place in his heart.
However ….
