Gentle laughter rang out in everyone's ears. When they looked in the direction of the sound, they saw that it was none other than Ye Zichen, clutching the soul gem in his hand and smiling at the Green Rain Clansmen.
Qingli and the other Overgods were still under the soul gem's control.
How he'd managed to break free was something no one else knew.
"Ye-zi!"
Yang Jian and the Great Sage were delighted.
The Great Sage, who'd been suppressing the Green Rain Clansmen with his gaze, ran straight to Ye Zichen's side. He'd already prepared for the worst. He never would have guessed that Ye Zichen, who'd been under his control, would be able to regain consciousness.
As for the Green Rain Clansmen, the Great Sage no longer cared.
Now that he'd lost the soul gem, he'd lost everything he could rely on. He hadn't even reached the higher god level yet. In a place filled with Overgods, his status had fallen to the level of an ant.
"You're actually fine!"
At that moment, Yang Jian also ran over and patted Ye Zichen's shoulders.
He'd been frantic just now, especially when the monkey said he'd trade himself for Ye Zichen's return.
"You damned monkey, why are you trying to be a hero?"
Ye Zichen glanced at the Great Sage and Yang Jian. Judging from the Great Sage's expression and quivering lips, they were about to argue again. Ye Zichen smiled and walked past them, then walked up to the Green Rain Clansmen with the soul gem in hand.
The Green Rain Clansmen were in a panic. Their bodies trembled violently.
The soul gem had been stolen!
Not only that, but someone had cut off his connection with the gem. The soul gem no longer belonged to him at all.
How did this happen? He'd clearly controlled Ye Zichen's mind. He could clearly sense the imprint on his soul. That was why he'd dared let Ye Zichen stand by his side. Why had he suddenly broken free of the soul gem's binding?
The binding had instantly snatched away his soul gem and erased all connection between him and the gem.
"You …."
The Green Rain clansmen suppressed their trembling hearts, pointed at Ye Zichen, and glared at him. However, they didn't dare say anything too overboard. After much hesitation, that was all they could say in the end. The soul gem's light grew dimmer and dimmer in Ye Zichen's hand. It wasn't that Ye Zichen didn't know how to use soul gems; rather, he was doing it on purpose. He waited until the gem no longer shone, until it became completely ordinary.
Amethyst Ball.
The Sovereigns under the control of the soulgem, as well as Qingli, all regained their wits.
Thinking about everything that had happened before and seeing who the soul gems belonged to, these people could roughly guess who had released their souls.
Gu Xuande nodded towards Ye Zichen gratefully, then charged towards Qingli.
The other Overgods, even those who'd previously held enmity towards Ji Yuan, couldn't help but feel a great deal less hostile towards Ye Zichen.
No matter what, Ye Zichen had given them a new life.
Of course, most of them kept their gratitude to Ye Zichen in their hearts. Their pride prevented them from actually running over to Ye Zichen to thank him. All they could do was make a mental note to repay him in the future.
However, their hatred towards the Green Rain Clansmen was undisguised!
Countless resentful gazes and auras bore down on the Green Rain Clansmen from all directions.
He stood at the center of the crowd, trembling uncontrollably. After losing the soul gem, all that was left was boundless terror.
If it were them ….
He glanced at the War Goddess and Elder Lin. Earlier, when Ye Zichen was under their control, they hadn't reacted in the slightest. Now that Ye Zichen had obtained the soul gem and reversed the situation, they merely smiled faintly.
From this, it was clear that they'd known this would happen from the start.
They knew the soul gem couldn't bind Ye Zichen?
Why on earth was that? The Green Rain Clansman mulled it over. When he'd controlled Ye Zichen's soul, he'd imprinted it clearly. The only thing he found strange was that Ye Zichen's soul didn't seem complete. At the time, he hadn't paid it much attention.
Could it be that Ye Zichen had broken free because of his missing soul? "Ye-zi, this guy's a scourge! Controlling the others is one thing, but he even dared to do it to you? The way I see it, if there's no other way, we should just get rid of him. Without the soul gem, you don't even need to do anything. I'll send him to hell on his own. "
Cursed Yang Jian.
The Green Rain Clansman instinctively gulped and curled up into a ball.
He was truly flustered. Just now, Yang Jian hadn't been spouting nonsense. Without the soul gem, the Green Rain Clansman was like a soft persimmon; anyone could squeeze it.
Ye Zichen raised his hand to signal Yang Jian not to be too impulsive, then slowly walked up and patted the Green Rain Clansman on the shoulder.
When he did, Ye Zichen sensed the Green Rain Clansman's body stiffen. However, this wasn't incomprehensible. No matter what, the Green Rain Clansman's life was now in Ye Zichen's hands.
"In truth, the soul gem being in my hands is actually a good thing for you."
After a while, Ye Zichen looked at the Green Rain Clansman and finally spoke. "An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. I don't know if you understand this or not. You don't have enough strength. Having such a precious treasure isn't a blessing, it's a disaster. Like now, without the Soul Gem, you have nothing to rely on. About you.
Everything about you no longer belongs to you. "
"What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I just want to let you go!"
As soon as he said that, the Green Rain Clansmen, God Race, and Era experts all revealed confused expressions.
"Ye-zi, you want to let him go?" shouted Yang Jian. Ye Zichen smiled and nodded.
"What right do you have to let him go? Just now, he insulted the dignity of the God Race. We have to kill him and use his blood to …"
"What right do you have to lecture me?"
Before the God Race expert could finish his sentence, Ye Zichen coldly cut him off. The soul gem in his hand flashed with light.
"I'm still not particularly comfortable with this gem. Do you want me to practice on you?"
Gulp.
The God Race expert instantly fell silent. They were truly frightened by the soul gem. Even if they died, they didn't want to experience what had just happened again.
Ye Zichen had intimidated the God Race. He was the Lord of the Era, so the Era experts naturally wouldn't say anything against him. Besides, the Era experts hadn't suffered any losses over the soul gems.
"You can go now."
