The golden light dissipated.
No one knew where it had come from, nor where it had gone.
When the golden light disappeared, its destructive energy ceased as well. Elder Lin arrived at the spot where it had self-destructed almost instantly, but all he saw was an empty void.
Elder Lin's wizened face was filled with sorrow.
He stood in the void in a daze, staring blankly ahead with an empty gaze.
As someone who could manipulate the Laws of Heaven and Earth, he knew full well that it had truly died. Not even a wisp of its soul remained.
He dispersed the starlight around him. Su Mei 'er and the others hurried to his side as soon as the energy stopped wreaking havoc.
Ye Zichen was safe and sound. This was what they wanted to see more than anything else.
However, no one said a word, because they could sense the sorrow permeating the air.
"Holy Son."
Elder Lin stood there in a daze, muttering to himself. He couldn't agree with what the man in the golden light had just said.
The Holy Son was indeed a Holy Son. He was the Lord's only heir, and his blood flowed through his veins.
It could be considered as the only hope in their hearts. Elder Lin, who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, had always been full of expectations as he watched him grow.
Even if he'd lost his way along the way.
To Elder Lin, it wasn't impossible for him to change.
That was why he was willing to give it a chance. Even before it self-destructed, he was willing to give it a chance to repent.
But how had the man in the golden light done it?
He clearly had the power to stop it, but he hadn't. He'd allowed the Lord's only descendant to self-destruct in front of them.
Then he'd said something that Elder Lin didn't think made sense at all.
This was his disloyalty!
For an entire hour, Elder Lin just stood there with his back hunched.
"Is the Holy Son talking about him?"
Su Mei 'er couldn't contain her curiosity and asked through her divine sense. She was truly curious about the relationship between Elder Lin and him.
Ye Zichen nodded.
"So you're saying that this being above the Laws is actually working for someone else?"
"Perhaps!"
In truth, Ye Zichen didn't really understand either. An hour passed, but the man in the golden light's words still echoed in his mind.
Even now, he still didn't fully understand what he'd said.
Elder Lin was the only one who could explain everything to him. However, in his current state, it was unlikely that he would be able to get an answer to this question.
"Let's return!" For once, Ye Zichen didn't get to the bottom of the matter. He didn't want to burden himself any further. It seemed rather irresponsible. But he already had enough things on his mind. It took him a lot of effort to sort out the ups and downs, and he didn't want other things to add to it.
But it's a mess.
He would rather pretend that he didn't hear anything and that he didn't know anything.
He only needed to ensure the safety of the era and prevent it from being destroyed by the attack of the Outer-Realm Protoss. Then, he would safely bring the people who once belonged to the modern world back to the modern world and live an ordinary life.
As for the others …
If they didn't find him, he would pretend that he didn't know anything!
Hearing that, the others nodded. Ye Zichen looked at Elder Lin solemnly before turning around, then nodded towards him as a form of farewell. He didn't care whether Elder Lin saw it or not before turning around to leave.
Several streaks of light streaked across the sky, and only then did Elder Lin turn around.
Sensing their departure, he sighed softly, and then waved his hand to seal the spot where his mother had self-destructed.
This was the last place his mother could leave him!
He didn't want to return to this place years later only to find it swallowed up by the Outer Realm's black hole.
… …
… …
… …
In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month had passed since the Outer-Realm Protoss' attack.
It could be said that the Outer-Realm Protoss' attack had ended in failure. The era hadn't been destroyed, but the Outer-Realm Protoss had lost two divine kings and many elite gods.
However, this wasn't Ji Yuan's doing. It was the result of the God Race's infighting.
At most, Ji Yuan had reaped the spoils of war.
Even so, Ji Yuan had suffered a fatal blow.
The talisman his mother had given Zhou Wu had resurrected the dead. The resurrected were several times stronger than they'd been when they were alive. Their wanton destruction and slaughter were practically a disaster for the era.
Not only that, but the resurrected also had the ability to infect others.
It was like the zombies in the modern world's movies. After scratching someone, they could infect them and turn them into the same kind as the resurrected.
For a time, the era was plunged into misery and suffering.
Fortunately, there was no threat from the Outside, so the era's great emperors could throw themselves into the fray without worry. Quite a few experts who'd once lived in seclusion lent a helping hand when the era was in trouble.
The situation was still terrible, but it was gradually under control.
Chaos City, Alliance Headquarters.
News of Ye Zichen's transcendence spread like wildfire through Zuo Mo's official account. It was also because of his transcendence that the Demon Clan and the Divine Clan were truly united.
Of course, that didn't mean they were all unified.
There were still quite a few unscrupulous cultivators among the yao and god realms who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to plunder resources that would benefit them.
However, they hadn't expected Ye Zichen to transcend. Just as they were about to give up resisting, the Great Alliance voted to reject their request to take them in. As a result, the current era wasn't just purging the zombie-like resurrected cultivators, it was also dealing with the wantonly inciting conspirators.
As for Ye Zichen, who'd transcended ….
"Wah! I'm really going to break down! "
A series of miserable shrieks sounded out from behind a mountain of documents. Before long, Ye Zichen shot to his feet. Only now did everyone realize that he'd been sitting in front of the table the entire time. It was just that the pile of documents had completely blocked his view. Currently, the yao and god realms had sent him battle reports and requests for resources. Ye Zichen didn't go out to suppress the rebellion. Instead, he stayed behind to deal with them. Because to the gods and yao, Ye Zichen was the only one who could truly do it.
Truly fair. "I'm done! I'm done! I want to go out! I'd rather fight those zombies than stay here and look at these shitty things. What the hell is this? A substandard God Artifact and two bottles of elixirs, and they even need to send me a document? What's even more despicable is that they say they need cotton-padded clothes when the weather is cold.
Do they think I'm the head of logistics? "
The document in his hand was thrown to the ground. Not long after, a beautiful figure appeared beside him and gently picked up the document from the ground.
"What can we do about it? This is what the alliance voted for. All resources have been sent to the Tenth Divine Mountain. Right now, all of the yao and god realms' resources, down to a single piece of paper, are here for us to allocate. If they don't do this, what else can they do? "
It was none other than Xiao Yumei. She was just as warm and gentle as ever.
She knew that Ye Zichen was rather impatient, so she smiled warmly and hooked her finger towards the documents on the table. The documents floated neatly behind her.
"Since you're tired, take a break. I'll take care of this."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He wanted to take the documents back, but she gently pushed him away.
"It's fine. Rest well. You haven't slept for half a month because of Ji Yuan."
