What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Xu Tianlin raised his hand and gently pressed it down.

The stagnant azure light beside Xuan Yi suddenly extended into the distance.

Mountains, wilderness, forests.

The life energy enveloping Dark Abyss Star stopped flowing almost simultaneously.

The rolling blue sea of ​​clouds remained fixed high in the sky, and the light mist drifting among the branches hung suspended without dissipating. Even the fragments that had just detached from the tree-man's body and were about to reassemble were frozen in place.

From a distance, the entire planet appears to have transformed into a giant piece of turquoise amber.

The mountains and rivers are sealed within.

The power of Canghuan Star, which was scattered in various places, was also sealed off.

Before the temple gates, the treant army, having just turned around, displayed various postures.

Some of them had their feet raised, their roots still clinging to the soil, but their bodies had already turned most of the way around, as if their trouser legs were nailed to the ground, yet they were determined to run away.

Some were holding up their companions' fallen arms, but before they could hand them back, they were left frozen in mid-air, arms and all.

Another tree-man reacted exceptionally quickly; as soon as the order to retreat arrived, it squeezed to the side.

As a result, his head went through, but his body got stuck between his two companions.

Now that it has come to a complete stop, the back of the branch is still sticking up, giving it a rather carefree and irresponsible look.

Dis stood by the door, holding the raft, looking at it, then at what he was holding.

If I'd known these guys weren't going to get away, why did I even try to steal it?

Even the rafts were saved.

A demon soldier beside him, still bent over picking something up, looked at the vines scattered on the ground, and hesitantly put down the pieces of wood he was carrying. He felt that what he had just treasured seemed rather insignificant.

Xuan Yi could no longer laugh.

It struggled to harness its life energy, trying to retract its frozen wings.

no respond.

Those powers that once flowed effortlessly from its grasp now seemed to have completely severed their connection. It could clearly sense them, yet it couldn't control even a single feather.

Its gaze passed over Xu Tianlin and looked into the distance.

Wherever the emerald light reached, there was utter silence.

Even the life energy that had gathered in other areas has solidified!

The chill in Xuan Yi's heart finally crept up little by little.

It is also the Starry Sky Realm.

It knew the extent of the destruction it could cause by going all out, and it also understood just how far the power of this realm could reach.

But the local man in front of him simply raised his hand and pressed down.

The life energy on the entire planet then ceased.

Such strength is in no way inferior to that of an ordinary star lord!

How is that possible?

Xuan Yi stared intently at Xu Tianlin, trying to find some clue in that calm face.

Having invaded Dark Abyss Star for so long, it knew perfectly well how capable these remaining natives were.

Breaking through the Eternal Realm is enough to establish a foothold at a single point.

As for Hodge, the guy who stepped into the Star Realm through endless battles, in its view, he had almost exhausted the remaining fortune of this planet.

It would be surprising enough if even one genius like that could emerge.

Now, this person has suddenly appeared before me.

Despite being shrouded in demonic energy, it stood there, preventing the creature from even struggling.

Where did this person come from?

Why did they not show up before?

Since you have such strength, why bother sending those monsters out in a raft to receive your attacks?

Xuan Yi's mind was churning with thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the less he could find a plausible explanation.

But one thing is clear.

If you continue to act, you'll definitely be the one who dies.

It had previously thought that the temple was sturdy and would eventually run out of power. Now it realized that the people inside had been standing by and watching it wreak havoc. The attacks it unleashed with its wings were probably not even worth mentioning in their eyes.

It looked at Xu Tianlin's hand, which was still not lowered, and after a slight movement in its throat, it finally spoke.

"Sir, please wait."

Xu Tianlin raised his eyelids.

Xuan Yi tried his best to calm his voice and put away the arrogance that had been looking down on the natives.

"With your strength, it's a real pity that you're still here guarding this ruin for the Demon Emperor."

It paused for a moment, and seeing that Xu Tianlin did not interrupt, it continued:

"After the Demon Emperor's defeat, she hesitated to return. Ultimately, she no longer had the ability to reclaim her home planet."

"But you are different."

"Your talent and strength are far more valuable than those monsters who are stuck at their anchor points."

Xu Tianlin stood still, slowly lowering his hand, but did not untie the restraints.

Xuan Yi's heart stirred slightly.

If you're willing to listen, there's still a chance.

He has said this many times.

Whether it's fear or resentment, as long as you find what the other person cares about, there's always room to continue the conversation.

"Our Star Lord of Canghuan Star possesses profound resources and numerous powerful subordinates. The places that even the Demon Emperor could not defend with all his might are now mostly under our control."

"You should understand how big the gap is between us."

Xuan Yi looked at Xu Tianlin, his tone gradually softening.

"What the Demon Emperor can give you, the Star Lord can give you as well."

"The opportunities she can't give us, we might be able to find on Canghuan Star."

At the temple gate, the joy on Shuoyang's face gradually faded.

He set the wooden plank aside, gripped the halberd again, and rubbed the shaft with his fingertips.

These are the same words again.

When Hodge was guarding the altar, Xuan Yi had given him the same advice.

Now, the topic has even come up in front of Lord Lin Tian.

Shuoyang took half a step forward, his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a sound.

He gazed at the frozen blue sea of ​​clouds in the distance, his chest still trembling with suppressed emotion.

Lord Lin Tian is so strong.

No wonder he was so composed when facing Hodge, no wonder he dared to stand in front of the temple gate and settle accounts with Xuan Yi over the thousand star clusters.

But after this initial shock, another sense of unease quietly emerged.

Would someone this strong really want to stay here forever?

Xuan Yi keenly noticed the commotion at the door, but he didn't get distracted; his gaze remained fixed on Xu Tianlin.

"The sea of ​​stars is vast."

"Dark Abyss Star is merely one of the lower-level planets. The assistance it can provide to you is ultimately limited."

"You've already come this far, are you going to spend the rest of your life on these remaining anchor points?"

It spoke with increasing sincerity.

"With your abilities, you should have been in the vast sea of ​​stars in the future."

"There are more powerful beings there, and resources that this planet cannot sustain. Why trap yourself here, waiting with them for a demon emperor whose return is uncertain?"

"Brother Lintian..."

Shuoyang called out softly.

His grip on the halberd tightened, and the sweat that had just dried on his palms began to seep out again.

He wanted to argue.

But as she looked up at Xu Tianlin's back, the words that were on the tip of her tongue suddenly became impossible to utter.

He couldn't completely deny what Xuan Yi said.

Lin Tian is so strong, he deserves a better place to go.

But Hodge wavered, and later even considered taking his place. What if Lin Tian also listened to these words and was willing to leave?

Those comrades who had just recovered from their injuries, those demon soldiers who finally dared to fight with smiles on their faces, all relied on the temple behind them.

This is their last resort.

The demon soldiers beside him lowered their breathing, and even his companions moving the raft stopped in their tracks. Hearing the silence behind him, Shuoyang's heart sank further. He knew everyone was waiting, but no one had enough leverage to decide where Lintian should stay.

Shuoyang raised his hand, as if trying to grab something, but in the end he only managed to clutch the hem of his own clothes.

He didn't dare to urge them.

He could only nervously watch Xu Tianlin, waiting for him to speak.

Xuan Yi was also waiting.

In the long silence, Xu Tianlin suddenly smiled.

"OK."

Shuoyang's vision went black.

The halberd in his hand suddenly sank, almost hitting the ground at his feet.

Finished!

A light suddenly shone in Xuan Yi's eyes.

Before it could continue speaking, Xu Tianlin had already spread his hands, his smile becoming even more amiable.

"Pay back the money first, and everything else is negotiable!"
