I only want to win over the fairy.

“Calm down a bit. Rushing in recklessly will only make you pay for it.” Seeing her silence, Shen Tu loosened his grip and began to persuade her: “Try to contact them first and see what exactly happened.”

The more anxious the other party was, the happier she became, because the more anxious Qiu Yuelian was, the easier it would be for her to achieve her goal.

Furthermore, to cause the other party to be in such a state of panic, either they died in vain, or...

Problems have arisen within the palace of the Emperor.

She ruled out the possibility of Bai dying without even thinking about it. After all, Bai wasn't someone who would die easily. His vitality was like that of a cockroach; even if you killed him, he would suddenly emerge stronger from somewhere else.

Moreover, the only way to kill Bai is when he encounters an enemy that is not easy to fight. But Bai is not the kind of guy who will die silently. The opponent will definitely fight back, and I will definitely be able to sense the battle momentum that will be generated!

Shen Tu's seemingly kind demeanor immediately put Qiu Yuelian on high alert. Normally, she would have engaged in a struggle with him, but now, she was not in the mood for that.

She took out the communication artifact exclusive to the Human Emperor's Palace, trying to contact the sect, but found that she couldn't get through at all.

Switching to the Qiu family's exclusive channel yielded no reply either.

Her face instantly darkened, and the magical artifact in her hand was crushed as easily as tofu.

"It seems the situation is quite dire." Shen Tu suppressed his inner joy and methodically explained the current situation and the best course of action to the other party: "In this situation, you alone cannot accomplish anything, so you need help, someone capable of resolving the current situation. I would be happy to do you a favor, but it seems my power is insufficient to resolve your crisis. After all, a disaster that can completely cut off the Imperial Palace's ability to communicate is something I cannot withstand no matter what. So, who can resolve this crisis for you now?"

"Your scheme is so elaborate that the whole of Kyushu can hear it," Qiu Yuelian said through gritted teeth. "You're a truly despicable and shameless bastard!"

"The enemy's insults are a form of praise for me." Shen Tu knew very well that he was an ancient demon race, and there were many conflicts between him and the human race, even mortal enemies. Moreover, as an enemy of the human race, that is, a villain, he naturally had to do what a villain should do: "As long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter if some despicable and shameless means are used. Besides, don't you humans have an old saying that history is written by the victors?"

"If I ultimately achieve my goal and win in the end, who will care whether I used some underhanded means? Perhaps future historians will even praise my behavior for being unconventional."

Ha, how could someone like you possibly have the last laugh?

Since you're so eager to find Bai Yi, then I'll take you there. I just hope you don't end up like Li Yu, beaten to the point of not even leaving ashes!

Qiu Yuelian has made her decision: she will go directly to Tianxuan Peak to find Bai Yi and then use the card [White Emperor - Pacifying the Forbidden Zone].

The situation has now reached a point where this card is absolutely necessary.

However, given her current relationship with Bai Yi, he might not help her. But if she used all her assets, plus the cards she had collected, she should be able to get him to help her.

Despite having made her plans, she still wore an expression that showed four parts anger, three parts resentment, two parts compromise, and one part helplessness. She agreed to the other party's conditions and took them to find Bai Yi.

At this very moment, at Tianxuan Peak.

Bai Yi looked up at the sky, which was bluer than usual, and his pupils rippled with emotion.

The world's environment has undergone a slight change. To ordinary people, these changes may just be caused by weather or seasonal changes, but to him, it is undoubtedly a manifestation of a powerful being trying to bring back the distant ancient times.

Aside from the changes in the world environment, there was another major event that also concerned him.

That means a new emperor has been born.

"Your Majesty, I can sense that a new Human Emperor has been born on this land, but..."

The Human Emperor Sword told Bai Yi all the information it had sensed: "This Human Emperor is very special. It seems that she only occupies the position of Human Emperor, but does not receive any benefits from being Human Emperor. It also seems that the fortune of the human race does not favor her."

“It’s Gui Ming.” Bai Yi knew that the only being capable of influencing the world’s environment and the [Human Emperor’s Throne] in such a short time was Gui Ming, who had already returned to the Great Emperor realm.

No, it's that throughout the entire land of Kyushu, only the other party can achieve this in this world.

From the moment Bai Yi discovered these two things, he never considered looking at them separately, because when two incredibly difficult things happen at the same time by sheer coincidence, then it's 1000% certain that they were done by the same person!

"It's probably her. I can sense that the new Human Emperor is extremely powerful, no less so than Your Majesty in your prime. With your current strength, you probably don't have much of a chance of winning in a head-on confrontation." The Human Emperor Sword reminded, "However, since she is the Human Emperor, I can use the human race's fortune to limit her to some extent. But in that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare any extra power to help you fight."

"It's alright, limiting her power is enough." Bai Yi nodded, his eyes swirling with ripples.

The immense and pure Yin energy bestowed upon him by his master, Xiao Jinxuan, combined with the wisp of Heavenly Dao power from Xuanyuan Meng, seemed to act as a catalyst, greatly enhancing his understanding of the power of reincarnation. He had even come to touch upon entirely new and more powerful techniques.

The strongest move that can unify all of one's power!

The true application of the cycle of reincarnation!

The bonuses from the effects of "Lord of the World" and "Firing the First Shot to Overthrow the Heavenly Court" are not only intuitive, but also affect one's understanding and talents.

The former enhanced his understanding of heaven and earth, while the latter strengthened his comprehension of Buddhism.

The great paths of the world are often interconnected. They may seem to be independent of each other, but they are inextricably linked. Therefore, a deeper understanding of Buddhism can, to some extent, enhance one's understanding of the cycle of reincarnation.

By increasing their own strength, they can narrow the gap with Guiming, which will increase their chances of winning.

.........

Although few people noticed the impact of Guiming, Xuanyuan Meng was definitely one of them.

As the Heavenly Dao, she might not be able to detect that the subtle changes in the world are precisely because some beings are trying to use their outdated Heavenly Ruler Mark to devour the current human race's fortune and replace the race that rules the world.

She used to be indifferent to all of this, believing it to be part of the changes in the world, letting living beings develop on their own, which is why the world has become such a terrible place.

Now that she has gained a strong sense of self and the ability to think critically, and has regained her rationality, she naturally will not stand idly by.

Races that should have faded into the dustbin of history should not be resurrected.

The world has developed to this point through countless years of changes. To try to make the world go back to how it was before is to turn back the clock, to disrupt the order of the world, and to show contempt for the way of heaven!

For guys like this, we have to strike hard!

However, the culprit behind all this, Guiming, the ruler of Guiming Heaven, is no ordinary person who can be easily dealt with, so she has to treat him with caution and even have to rely on the power of others.

"Bai Yi needs your strength."

The moment Xuan Yuanmeng saw Zi, she immediately got straight to the point: "Now, for your sake, he has to face an enemy that is too powerful to be easily defeated, so I hope you can temporarily entrust everything to me."

“I know.” Zi nodded. She had already glimpsed some of the current situation through the fusion of their souls, and she was prepared for it: “However, I do not hope that you will follow his plan, but rather follow your original plan.”

"What do you mean?" Xuan Yuanmeng frowned slightly, clearly already knowing what plan Zi was referring to.

“It’s very simple.” Zi stretched out her hand and placed her palm on her heart, her expression still calm: “My original purpose was to serve as a trap to eliminate those beings that are temporarily unable to fight back. This is the meaning of my birth and the original purpose for which you created me. Now I have deviated from the original purpose for which you created me, so I hope that you, as my creator, can pull me back to where I should be.”

As a prop, what she should do is strictly fulfill her mission as a prop, rather than going beyond the mission of a prop and doing what a human should do.

Swords have their purpose, oxen and horses have theirs, and flowers have theirs...

If an object that was meant to be a sword suddenly deviates from its purpose and goes on to fall in love or get married, then it has already violated the user's original intention in creating it, which is undoubtedly a sign of error.

Especially because of her mistakes, she brought unimaginable disasters to others.

Bai Yi shouldn't have had to fight such a powerful enemy as Gui Ming. The culprit who forced Bai Yi to confront such an enemy was himself. Therefore, he had an obligation and a mission to make up for his mistakes.

"you....."

Xuan Yuanmeng sighed helplessly, then said, "I must say, as expected of the puppet I created, this arrogant personality is just like mine. However, you made a big mistake, which is the wrong way you define yourself."

"Beneath your seemingly indifferent and calm exterior lies endless arrogance. You see yourself as a savior who must be sacrificed to save everything, believing that only you can save everything and only you can stop everything. That's why you want me to sacrifice you."

"Foolish puppet, do you consider yourself the guardian of the world, or even the will of Heaven?!"

Pride is the original sin.

The doll-like girl in front of him believed that only she could solve the current crisis, which was the greatest arrogance. Little did she know that even without her, the supreme beings of the forbidden zones in Guiming would be dealt with one by one sooner or later.

Moreover, as the creator of the other party, I naturally have the right to decide where everything about the other party should be used.

"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do." Facing Xuan Yuanmeng's question, Zi remained unmoved, meeting her gaze: "Besides, if we're talking about arrogance, what could be more arrogant than you?"

"That's a very good rebuttal. I am indeed incredibly arrogant, but as your creator, I naturally have the right to be arrogant!" Xuan Yuanmeng said, "You must understand that I created you, so I have the right to decide how to use you. Whether I use you as a bomb to make traps, as a limited-time puppet to play with, or as a wife, it's all up to me! So you just need to obediently follow my orders!!!"

“Is that so…” Zi closed her eyes, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips: “You and him really are exactly alike.”

They are all excessively self-centered.

Once a decision is made, it must be made. Just like when I refused to go with Bai Yi, but he forcibly knocked me unconscious and brought me back.

It was Bai Yi's arrogance that made her understand what feelings were and what it felt like to want to protect someone.

Arrogant and extremely self-centered children always need a qualified parent to keep an eye on them.

"So, what do you plan to do now?" Since Xuan Yuanmeng has come to him, and doesn't want him to sacrifice himself, there must be a solution.

“It’s very simple. Give everything back to me. All your power needs to be returned to me.” Xuan Yuanmeng stated her purpose.

Although Zi's power was not much, it was enough.

The only troublesome thing is the other party's consciousness and soul. Zi's body structure is not like that of a normal living being. Her entire existence is made of energy, and her soul and consciousness are also firmly bound to this energy. So once separated, it is equivalent to death. She can only be sealed in the White Emperor Sword of the same origin and resurrected in the future.

But if that's the case, it would be better to just let the other person's body self-destruct.

Fortunately, she had another solution: to find Zi a body to temporarily reside in, a body where her power, consciousness, and soul could all dwell.

Looking across the entire land of Kyushu, or rather, the entire world, there are only two bodies that can meet Zi's living requirements.

One is Bai Yi, and the other is himself.

While Bai Yi could fulfill the requirements, it would require many preconditions, and given the other party's current physical level, he would be unable to meet Zi's needs, so he would have to do it himself.

Of course, she also needed some prerequisites, but she had fewer prerequisites, and she had already met them.

She stretched out her hand, and a wisp of purple chaotic energy swirled in her palm. This was the reward she had chosen in the last simulation—Primordial Chaos Energy.

This thing no longer exists in this world, after all, it is a power left over from the beginning of the world's creation.

The primordial energy of this world was absorbed by the world at its very beginning, allowing it to evolve rapidly. Unless the Heavenly Dao is willing to use a large amount of the world's power as a price to re-condense the primordial energy, doing so would undoubtedly be putting the cart before the horse.

Spending a ton of gold to make diamonds—only a crazy person would do that.

After all, the application of Primordial Chaos Qi is far less extensive than that of the power of the world. It can only produce unimaginable effects in some special places, and these effects are completely unnecessary for the current Heavenly Dao and the current world.

As for why she was able to receive such a good reward, she could only say that as the Heavenly Dao, she sometimes received more benefits than living beings, especially when she set foot in other worlds. In many cases, she didn't even need to do anything; she just needed to stay in that world.

She planned to use this wisp of primordial energy as an energy source and carrier to hold Zi's soul and consciousness, and then temporarily store it within her own body.

And the way she absorbed Zi was quite simple.

"Swallow it whole."

Xuan Yuanmeng issued the order as if delivering a verdict. Immediately afterward, countless black tentacles with sharp spikes emerged from the dark shadow beneath her feet, coalescing into a gaping maw that swallowed Zi's petite body whole.

Eating is the easiest and fastest way for living beings to replenish their energy. The so-called refining and absorption are just things that are inedible, troublesome to eat, or hard to eat.

Refining and absorbing takes a lot of time, but eating only takes a short time.

As the Heavenly Dao, she doesn't need to be bound by human tricks like being handsome, cool, or elegant; she only needs to use the most efficient methods.

However, indigestion is inevitable when eating.

Is this your body?

Xuanyuan Meng tilted her head, staring thoughtfully at her fair palm, her right pale blue eye gleaming: "It feels... a bit heavy, especially in my chest."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and pinched her pair of full, white breasts. The soft, bouncy texture and the enormous size that she couldn't even grasp with one hand stirred something within her calm heart.

It's huge... at least dozens of times my size...
