Amon looked at Bai Lin and asked gently, "Have you handled everything in your tribe? This space is still unstable, so after I leave, the other Amons will try to reduce the tearing of this space.
"For a short time, you won't be able to leave. Be prepared to stay here for a few years, or even more than ten years."
Bai Lin nodded slightly, "I've completely handed over the White Snake Tribe to Bai Qing, and for the tribe, exchanging me, an ugly and useless Tribe Leader, for the pills produced by Huang Tao's practice, is a very cost-effective deal, isn't it?"
She showed a self-mocking smile.
Amon smiled and "comforted" her, "At least your time as Tribe Leader was without any problems. The choice you made was very correct. Compared to others, you have a strong sense of self-awareness."
A strong sense of self-awareness... does that mean you think my self-deprecating remark about being "ugly and useless" is accurate?
Although what Amon said might have been true, Bai Lin still felt provoked.
Amon's smile slightly receded, and he spoke with a more serious and earnest tone:
"The Dou Venerate level and above powerhouses here have already been dealt with by me, but there are still many remaining Dou Ancestors. With your current strength, you probably can't deal with them."
"I will leave a Dou Venerate level Amon to assist you. Also, stretch out your hand and don't resist."
Bai Lin extended her right hand, and a starlight shot out from Amon and into her palm.
The latter subconsciously retracted her hand. She only felt something drilling into her body. Considering what Amon had said before, she tried very hard to suppress the instinct of her Dou Qi to spontaneously counterattack.
"This is my Magical Beast form. It is now residing within your body. If anything happens, you can call me in your mind and borrow my strength." The Amon parasitizing Bai Lin's body communicated with her through her soul.
Because Bai Lin cooperated voluntarily, Amon only chose a shallow Parasite, which would not affect her independent cultivation.
"It can be like this?" Bai Lin felt the power emerging from nowhere in her body, looking at her hands with pleasant surprise. This power fascinated her.
She felt as if she could tear the surrounding Space with a casual grab.
"I advise you not to do that... I just opened this Space not long ago, and it is still very fragile and unstable. If you tear it casually, the tear might cause a chain reaction, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire Space," Amon reminded.
"Space collapse? What would happen then?" As soon as Bai Lin heard the term, she felt the consequences would be severe.
"Everything would be shattered by the Space Storm. Even a Dou Venerate would not be able to survive under such power."
"Oh..." Bai Lin smiled awkwardly and pulled back her hand, which had been embedded in the Space, leaving five holes poked by her fingers.
These five small holes were dark and deep, as if one might be sucked into them if not careful.
Silver-white flames flashed in the darkness, and the holes were quickly filled. This was the Space Fire left by Amon, fulfilling its mission.
Amon tore open the Space and arrived outside the Ming Snake World. He repaired and consolidated the Space, which had become somewhat unstable due to his entry and exit with Bai Lin.
Afterward, he flew towards the depths of the void.
Inside the Ming Snake World, Bai Lin rested her chin on her hand, pondering where to start. Her short legs unconsciously scratched, leaving claw marks on the dome of the palace.
"You can go and see the Amon who remained in this Space first. He is in the deepest part of this palace." A voice sounded in Bai Lin's mind.
Although she had just conversed with this Worm of Spirit, Bai Lin was still a bit unaccustomed to this method of communication.
"The deepest part of the palace?" Bai Lin flew down from the dome of the magnificent, mountain-like palace and entered through the main gate.
The palace was very bright, with a wide passage leading straight ahead, seemingly endless.
This long passage gave Bai Lin the feeling of walking through a snake pit...
No, this really was a snake pit... she muttered to herself.
The passage was empty. After walking for a long distance, she finally saw some fifth- or sixth-tier giant snakes at the crossroads where the passage connected to other passages.
They coiled at each intersection, occasionally hissing, and watched the passing Bai Lin with cold gazes.
She continued forward, guided by the Worm of Spirit.
At the end of the passage was a very spacious hall, which was now filled with people, making the originally huge space seem crowded.
Most of those standing here were Dou Ancestor level, including Snake People who maintained a half-human, half-snake appearance, and also transformed seventh-tier Magical Beasts.
They conversed with each other; some had formal smiles, some openly showed their worries, and some were expressionless, showing no joy or anger.
The Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe was known for its vast number of affiliated tribes. While they didn't have too many Dou Saint or Dou Venerate level powerhouses in their tribe, their numbers dramatically increased from the Dou Ancestor level onwards.
Those in the hall were only a portion; they were not only Dou Ancestors but also held crucial positions within their respective tribes, representing various tribal groups.
Many more Dou Ancestors were scattered elsewhere and had not yet arrived.
Bai Lin's entry attracted the attention of several Snake People near the hall's entrance.
They quietly discussed Bai Lin's deformed and ugly appearance.
"Who is she? Which tribe's Queen Medusa?" someone asked.
"Never seen her, but that appearance is really disgusting," a beautiful female Snake Person scoffed.
A rather handsome man beside her nodded in agreement:
"Anyone who can come here is probably a tribal leader. It's my first time seeing a Queen Medusa who looks like this."
Another burly male Snake Person cast a disdainful look at the two who had scoffed:
"She's much more beautiful than you idiots who only know how to rut all day."
"What did you say?" The female Snake Person who first mocked Bai Lin glared sharply at the rugged-looking male Snake Person.
The male Snake Person ignored her angry gaze and said gruffly, "If I'm not mistaken, she should have started the Heavenly Flame evolution, but it wasn't completely successful."
"What?" Many Snake People's expressions changed slightly. Everyone knew the dangers of evolution, and very few dared to try it. After all, the success rate was simply too slim.
The mockery in their eyes when they looked at Bai Lin disappeared, replaced by a faint admiration.
"Is there a Heavenly Flame in her tribe?" A red-haired Snake Person's face showed a hint of greed.
The Snake People's bloodline was generally yin and cold, making them unable to absorb Heavenly Flames, but there were some fire-attributed Snake People. For them, Heavenly Flames held considerable allure.
"She just got lucky and found a Heavenly Flame, that's all. If I had a Heavenly Flame, I would try it too," the initial female Snake Person stubbornly retorted, though with a lack of confidence.
Bai Lin turned her head and glanced at her.
She ignored her and continued to walk forward.
On the other side of the hall was a closed door, guarded by two enchanting-looking women. They had no snake tails and were transformed seventh-tier Magical Beasts.
"Stop. Yao Feng is not seeing visitors at the moment."
"Let her in." A voice came from inside the door.
The two women looked at Bai Lin with surprise, speculating about the identity of this strange Snake Person.
They opened the door for Bai Lin, and after she entered, they closed it again.
Bai Lin's entry caused widespread discussion in the hall. Everyone present came from various parts of the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, all hoping to meet the only remaining Dou Venerate powerhouse and get more information from him.
However, the other party had been behind closed doors, and they dared not trespass, so they could only wait patiently in this hall.
Beyond the hall was a smaller room that looked like a conference hall.
A long red carpet stretched from the entrance to the very end. At the end of the red carpet was a throne, and seated on the chair was a young man with green hair, green eye shadow, dark lips, and emerald green eyes.
Bai Lin hesitated and spoke, "You are..."
"He is the Amon who remained here. From now on, you can communicate with him if anything comes up. I'm going to sleep now. Unless it's an urgent matter that requires my strength, don't bother me." The Worm of Spirit within Bai Lin's body left that message and then fell silent.
The green-haired Amon inserted a monocle into his right eye socket, revealing a hint of a smile:
"Perhaps this appearance will make you feel more familiar... You can still call me Yao Feng."
"A special Amon similar to Huang Tao? But I sense the aura of a snake-type Magical Beast from you." Bai Lin's eyes held some confusion.
Yao Feng adjusted his monocle, placing it in the most comfortable position for him:
"These small matters don't need to be concerned about. In short, my current identity is a high-ranking member of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe...
"With the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe heavily wounded and its high-end combat power wiped out, my cultivation and status are the highest.
"In a moment, I will announce to the leaders of those affiliated tribes outside that the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe has been conquered by someone, and you will be that person's representative."
"Eh? So sudden?" Bai Lin was slightly stunned.
"I don't need their recognition; I only need the Queen Medusas to be willing to cooperate... I believe you can do it..." Yao Feng gave an encouraging look.
After a slight pause, he continued, "According to Cai Lin's experience, it is said that those who actively initiate evolution, with the courage to burn their bridges and unyielding determination, have a greater chance of success."
"So, you need to find a way to make them crave evolution and initiate it actively, rather than us having to go door-to-door to coerce and entice them."
Bai Lin's eyes lit up... Isn't this exactly what I want?
Yes, yes, that's right. I'm doing this to stimulate the Queen Medusas' subjective initiative, to set an example... not intentionally trying to embezzle cultivation resources!
