"Impressive indeed..."

In the midst of endless space fragments, through a pair of pitch-black eyes, someone watched the entire situation unfold.

And behind those eyes were a man and a woman, far away in the Capital City yet observing everything as if it were in plain view...

"Truly worthy of being the First State Preceptor personally appointed by Myself, hahaha, you see, impressive, right?"

"Impressive indeed..." the Empress chuckled foolishly beside him, looking at the sky filled with fragments, even harboring a kind of desire!

"The Divine Blood of the Divine Image, it seems that the King of Qin really couldn’t control it."

"The Twilight Avatar represents the will of freedom, not subject to any restraint in this world. So many ancient beings couldn’t make the Twilight Avatar submit; what talents or capabilities could your King of Qin possibly have?"

"Heh... that’s also true..." The towering figure rose to his feet, walked in front of the Empress, and squinting said, "How is the Beihai plan going?"

Greedy for the sight of the majestic Emperor, the Empress giggled foolishly, "Everything is going smoothly..."

As the fragments shifted, the image of Beihai appeared before their eyes, with ice and snow connecting the entire North.

The warriors bathed in Dragon Blood were full of fighting spirit, facing the Thousand-Fathom Giant Snake without fear.

They managed to carve a bloody path out of it.

The frozen ground prevented burrowing, securing the Human Race’s retreat.

Those iron-blooded fighters stood like the most reliable walls in the world, blocking countless monsters. They truly intended to save the billions of common people by turning the tide and bringing them back to Jiangnan.

While everyone’s attention was on the battle on the Beihai ice field, many overlooked that deep in the Beihai Dragon Palace, a ghostly figure was slowly approaching an underground palace.

That figure... was Xiang Tianyu, who had escaped.

At this moment, his body was emitting black qi as he walked to an underground palace surrounded by ice mountains.

Here... were Dragon Transformation Objects that were too numerous for eyes to take in all at once.

Without the disturbance of the Ancient Sorcerer, this vast treasury was eerily quiet.

In the image, Xiang Tianyu laughed excitedly, clapped his hands, and behind him, a huge space began to twist. An enormous bronze gate emerged and slowly opened, and on the other side of the bronze gate was the endless void.

Within the void, huge Giant Serpents coiled, each with a terrifying length surpassing a million zhang.

Unlike the giant snakes of the North, the aura of these monsters gave off a bone-chilling sensation far beyond mere size.

Just one look from their horrifying eyes could freeze your blood, clearly showing they were not on the same level at all.

And these creatures began to crawl out through that massive gate!

The fearsome Giant Serpents entered the Beihai Dragon Palace, greedily eyeing each of the top Dragon Transformation Objects, while in the depths of Beihai, countless nobles of the Dragon Palace had fear flashing in their pupils!

The Emperor nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene unfold: "Xiang Tianyu is indeed stronger than that waste surnamed Fei. He’s finally done the task properly. Of all the seas, only he could accomplish it..."

"Don’t be too harsh..." the Empress said with a flirtatious smile: "After all, the opponents are not the same, are they? The Duke of Wei, willing to sacrifice his own dragon form for the Northern People, and Siao Mingyue, who turned hundreds of thousands of her bloodline soldiers into living corpses for her own purposes and even used her own daughter as bait— which one is more difficult to deal with? Isn’t it obvious? "

"That’s true..." the Emperor smiled and stood up: "Let’s begin. Don’t let a single one escape. As you saw, they are all such troublesome creatures!"

"Okay..." the Empress laughed and hooked her arms around his neck, pressing her body against his once more: "My King!"

--------------------------------------

"Will they find us?"

Facing Liu Yu’s confident declaration, Chen Qing didn’t know what to say for a moment. The idea of people from the second dimension aspiring to find the creators of the third dimension... sounded quite terrifying...

"You don’t believe it?" Liu Yu turned his head to look at Chen Qing.

"I don’t believe it..." Chen Qing shook his head without hesitation.

"Why don’t you believe it?" Liu Yu stared intently at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing sighed, "Why are you so sure you can predict the death of Siao Mingyue and the others?"

Liu Yu: "...."

"In terms of cunning, tactics, and courage, both Siao Mingyue and Chen Baifeng are no less than you. So why did they lose so utterly?" Chen Qing sighed and looked at Liu Yu, "It’s because they lacked intelligence. They didn’t know you possessed Divine Blood, let alone understand the terrifying abilities it contained. If they had known any of this, you wouldn’t have been able to plot against them.

In essence, it was their ignorance that led to their downfall. "

"Ignorance?" Liu Yu laughed, "Is that your conclusion?"

"That’s the conclusion!" Chen Qing said earnestly, "Ignorance made them overconfident, caused them to lose the caution they once had, allowing you... to take advantage of their vulnerability. But I’m sorry.

.. what you just said is even more ignorant than they were.

You have no idea how arrogant it sounded. "

"Arrogant?" His eyes held a flash of realization, then turned fierce as he stepped closer to Chen Qing, "I would like to see just how arrogant it is!"

"Aren’t you going to make your move?" Chen Qing sneered, "Wang Ye!!"

"Wang Ye?" Liu Yu laughed, "What are you thinking about? Haven’t I made myself clear before?"

"From the moment Mister Hua Pi transformed Wang Ye, he was no longer himself, just my puppet!"

"He was himself..." Chen Qing said seriously, "His personality, his look in the eyes, none of those changed. The time he spent with me, including the mourning for you afterward, it was all genuine."

"Of course, I know it was genuine!" Liu Yu laughed loudly, "How could I have deceived you otherwise? How could I have deceived the two from the Siao Family? Aren’t you supposed to know all the secrets of this world? Have you never heard of the method of soul imprinting?"

"I have..." Chen Qing sighed, he could roughly guess what had happened. The moment Wang Ye was captured and transformed, Liu Yu had already arrived, having everything schematically planned out in advance, engraving his own spiritual imprint deep within Wang Ye’s soul.

Using Wang Ye as the seed, the day it blossomed, would be Liu Yu himself.

The demonic cultivation technique that countless evil deities used for rebirth stemmed from beyond the heavens; one had to admit, Liu Yu was quite the daredevil to play with such dangerous matters from ancient times.

However, Chen Qing wasn’t overly impacted.

After all, the Twilight Avatar Successor had always been a troublemaker, a daredevil.

In many versions of their lore, these dangerous entities were all lured out by the reckless Twilight Sorcerers.

"But have you ever heard of the parasitism technique?" Chen Qing looked helplessly at Liu Yu.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is... have you forgotten something, or overlooked something?" Chen Qing sighed, "Is it that the things you’re dealing with now are so powerful that you’ve forgotten to be wary of a certain monster that should have been on your radar?"

"Am I right, Wang Ye?"

Liu Yu’s pupils constricted, being exceedingly intelligent, he immediately thought of a possibility from Chen Qing’s words, but... how could that be possible?

Before he could express his denial, an anomaly occurred—several pieces of spatial fragments rocketed toward Liu Yu’s location at an incredibly fast pace.

Inside those fragments, carrying an extremely terrifying and chilling aura, one could almost guess without thinking—it was the spatial prison where Siao Mingyue and Gu Ying were locked!

And the only thing that could allow them, not in the same fragment, to lock onto him here was...

Flying Star!

Liu Yu violently scanned his surroundings. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he had to...

Wang Ye hadn’t died, and he had been waiting nearby for the right moment this whole time.

And if this was true, it meant the situation had never been under his control from the start. That guy... had been counter-scheming him from the beginning.

This should have been impossible, no matter how one calculated it, but Liu Yu knew there was one possible explanation...

"When did you realize it?"

The voice... unexpectedly came from Mister Hua Pi, not far away!

Chen Qing looked at him and sighed softly, "After confirming that Murong Yunji’s memory had been altered, I started to ponder one question—who might the last Ancient Worm be?"

"I thought of many people, the Shen Family, Chen Ying, Chen Ying’s teacher, even your teacher Liu Yu.

Even before encountering Liu Yu, I never considered it might be you, not until Liu Yu’s identity was revealed.

His pristine background eliminated any doubt in my mind, and I knew it was highly likely to be you! "

"You’re that sure?" Mister Hua Pi tilted his head, puzzled.

"The nine Ancient Worms, you hid the deepest, and you must be in someone of great value to have persisted for so many years without any preparation. You’ve been in the Human Race world for many years and should be well aware of the people around you.

Raising an independent force under the watchful eyes of such sharp people would be nearly impossible, which is why Fifth Elder Shen and Elder Shen chose to cooperate with Siao Mingyue, and Elder Shen acted crudely and straightforwardly.

You chose to learn from neither, which left only one method—to hide within someone of absolute value, who could absolutely make their way into the game. "

"So... you locked onto Liu Yu!"

Liu Yu: "...."

Hahahaha!

The piercing laughter came from Mister Hua Pi’s mouth, the aged body seemingly unable to withstand such exaggerated laughter, bending at the waist.

"Chen Qing, Chen Qing, you really are something special..."

Without hesitation, Liu Yu activated his technique, twisting Mister Hua Pi’s body horribly into a tangled knot!

"Too late..." The mocking voice came from all directions: "Teacher!"

Boom!

As the voice fell, several pieces of space that had been successfully isolated by Liu Yu smashed together!!
