"You brat …" "You're so unreasonable."
The elder, who had just left the room, sat back down in the room after hearing Ye Zichen's words.
He's back?
！ Ye Zichen, who was still criticizing the black-robed man, quickly smiled when he saw the elder appear in front of him.
"Senior."
"I was just kidding."
Ye Zichen ran in front of the chessboard and sat down, then looked at the elder.
They were clearly already sitting across from each other.
The chessboard was less than half a meter apart, but he still couldn't see the elder's face clearly.
"Senior."
"Let's begin now."
Ye Zichen couldn't wait any longer. The elder glanced at him, then slowly placed a piece on the chessboard.
"I admit defeat."
Practically the instant he placed his piece.
Ye Zichen's words followed.
The elder wasn't surprised at all. It was as if he had already expected this. He silently put away the chessboard.
"You lost!"
"Yes, I lost."
All Ye Zichen wanted to do was to leave this place. Who knew how long he would have to play with this elder? What's more, he didn't know much about chess.
Since I'm going to lose eventually … There's no difference between losing now and losing after a while.
"Then I'll accept it."
The moment the elder said that, Ye Zichen's gaze froze.
"Wait."
"Senior, what did you mean just now?"
"Accept it?
！”
"What did I lose to you?"
Ye Zichen's heart trembled for some reason.
From the elder's words, he should have lost to the elder with something.
Ye Zichen opened his hands.
He used the power of the universe to look within himself.
Then he looked at his elemental spirit.
Up until now, he still couldn't sense what he had lost.
"You'll know in the future."
"Perhaps this doesn't really affect you. Back then, Yin He, who walked out of the Eight Trigrams, also lost to me."
The elder's aged laughter echoed throughout the room.
"Alright, don't think about it anymore. No matter how much you think about it now, you won't remember it when you leave."
"I can tell that you really want to leave this place."
The elder's words were very confusing.
Ye Zichen didn't lack anything, and the geezer said that he would find out in the future, so it might not affect him at all.
She really didn't know what he was trying to express.
So … Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to think about it, so he nodded and answered the elder's question.
"Yes!"
"Senior, hurry up and let me out. I've already stayed here for more than two years. If I don't get out soon, the people outside will really think that I'm dead."
"You have a test before you go out."
The elder snapped his fingers, causing the elder to disappear from Ye Zichen's sight.
The clocks in the room started to move again.
At that moment … Ye Zichen suddenly realized a problem.
Just now, when he was gambling with the old man, time had stopped.
That was to say …
In that kind of situation, even if they stayed here for a long time, it wouldn't affect their time.
In order to get out as soon as possible, he took the initiative to admit defeat and lost to the old man an item that he didn't know what it was.
"Imperial Star!"
"Look over there …" Just as Ye Zichen frowned, Lil 'Fire pointed forward.
Right in front of them … an ice sculpture stood in front of them. Sealed inside this ice sculpture was … rouge and face powder?
！ Ye Zichen was stunned for half a minute, then hurried towards the ice sculpture.
"Rouge Powder!!!"
Ye Zichen slapped the ice sculpture. The sealed Rouge Powder had her eyes closed the entire time, as if she was conscious.
"You know each other?"
The elder's voice suddenly sounded out in Ye Zichen's mind.
"I-I'm not too sure."
All of a sudden, Ye Zichen wasn't sure if the person in front of him was the person he knew. "Is she a time elemental fairy?
！”
"Yes."
The elder's figure slowly emerged from the side of the ice sculpture.
"This elemental fairy forcefully devoured other elemental fairies, causing the elements in her body to collapse.
If you know her, then staying with you might be a good choice. "
"Stay with me?
！”
Ye Zichen frowned.
"This is why you walked out of the Eight Trigrams of the Five Elements. You are also the only one who fought your way out with martial strength. Back then, Yin He came out with her domain, and I gave her the opportunity to become an overlord.
This time, just treat her as my personal reward for you. "
"How to free her from the ice sculpture will depend on your comprehension of the five elements. She also holds the key to leaving this place, so I'll leave her to you."
Comprehension of the five elements?
！ If there were no surprises, then it should be the comprehension of the origin that the Tyrant of Five Elements had given him.
"Lil 'Fire!"
"Brother Fire has already started to comprehend it," Sister Feng looked behind her.
The fire elemental fairy sat cross-legged on the ground, while the flame brand between his eyebrows shone brightly.
"You guys …" "Don't worry, Imperial Star," Sister Feng smiled.
Sister Feng smiled and said, "We know how to break this seal. We just need to wait for Brother Fire to comprehend it first."
"Alright!"
Ye Zichen nodded heavily, then his gaze fell upon the rouge and powder on the ice sculpture.
He never would've thought … that he would meet her here.
She really is an elemental fairy.
However, Ye Zichen was very confused. The elder said that she forcefully devoured other elemental fairies, causing the elements in her body to become chaotic.
From the looks of it … The battle between the elements was like this.
But just how much did she have to devour in order to cause the elements in her body to become chaotic?
Among the elemental fairies of the five elements … Lil 'Fire was the only one who had absorbed the origin energy of another elemental fairy. That elemental fairy had given it to him, and Lil' Fire had only woken up after several months of slumber.
She could devour to the point of causing her own elements to become chaotic.
She must've devoured quite a bit of rouge powder as well.
"I really couldn't tell, but you're quite the stubborn one."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but smile. When he thought back to how she confessed her love to him in the Second World, he never would've guessed that Rouge Powder would have such a personality.
Devouring other elemental fairies in order to become stronger?
！ Of course … Ye Zichen wasn't really against it, because that was what he was doing right now. However, he hadn't met any other elemental fairies. If he did, he would've made Lil 'Fire devour them no matter what.
Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.
Based on the amount of time the other elemental fairies took to absorb, Ye Zichen estimated that it would take another five to seven days.
But right at that moment … "Break!"
Lil 'Fire, who was sitting on the ground, frowned, while the other elemental fairies also reached out their hands.
The ice sculpture containing Rouge Powder instantly shattered.
"Lil 'Fire."
"You comprehended it?
！”
Ye Zichen revealed an expression of surprise when he saw Lil 'Fire catch the powder.
"More or less."
"I comprehended about seventy or eighty percent. Didn't we break this ice and save the people here?"
Lil 'Fire grinned.
At that moment, Rouge Powder slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw Ye Zichen, she subconsciously opened her eyes wide.
"I'm dreaming, right?"
She quickly rubbed her eyes, then looked at the elemental fairies around her to confirm that she wasn't dreaming … "…" Ye Zichen patted her shoulder as he looked at Rouge, who had leapt into his arms.
"Rouge Powder?
！”
"Great deity!"
Rouge Powder looked up with a joyful smile.
A simple signal was enough to confirm their identities.
"It really is you. You're actually an elemental fairy," Ye Zichen sighed.
"Let's not waste any more time. Just now, this geezer told me that you can take me out of here, right?"
"Sure."
"Then hurry up. I've already stayed here for two years. If we stay any longer, then we really won't make it!"
