"Uh... this item can at most protect your royal family and the Zhu family, it can't protect the borders of the Star Luo Empire."
"Haha... then I must thank you." The Star Luo Emperor bowed in gratitude, completely lacking the airs of an emperor, showing utter sincerity towards Chen Qingling.
Although they had had a disagreement in the past, he thought they would have no further dealings.
But Chen Qingling had disregarded past grievances and even helped the Star Luo Empire.
This favor was too great, deserving of the Star Luo Emperor's respectful response.
Chen Qingling nodded slightly, her wings flapping as she flew away from the Star Luo Imperial City.
Watching Chen Qingling's departing figure, the Star Luo Emperor cupped his hands in farewell, "Respectfully seeing off Chen Qingling."
Flying towards the Four Elements Academy, Chen Qingling was heavy-hearted.
She felt deeply frustrated whenever she recalled her helplessness against the evil in human nature.
Clearly, this was triggered by the power of the abyss, so why had she purified it?
Was her strength insufficient?
Did she need to reach the Title Douluo level?
Chen Qingling secretly resolved to become a Title Douluo as soon as possible!
Once back, she couldn't chat with Xiao Wu and the others anymore; she had to seize every second to meditate and cultivate!
"I need to become stronger quickly!" " I need
to become a Title Douluo quickly and obtain my ninth soul skill."
"Perhaps my ninth soul skill will come in handy."
For some reason, Chen Qingling had a strong, albeit vague, premonition.
Her ninth soul skill was extraordinary!
Perhaps it could truly help her cope with the current situation!
...
God Realm.
After the five enforcers worked together, the abyssal power that had been blocking their connection with the Douluo Continent was completely cleared away.
The God of Destruction's eyes flashed with ferocity, his destructive intent overflowing.
"Hmph, this abyssal power is truly overestimating itself, willing to expend half of its dimensional power to hold us back for a moment."
"The more it's like this, the more it tempts me to destroy this abyssal power."
"Destruction, calm down. We still need to re-establish contact with the Douluo Continent," the God of Life said softly.
"Excellent!" The God of Kindness nodded in agreement. "The most urgent task now is to re-establish contact with the Douluo Continent and see what the situation is like there."
Soon, the five enforcers cast their spells again, re-establishing contact with the Douluo Continent.
Instantly, they learned about the major events that had recently occurred on the continent.
The God of Destruction's expression changed drastically. "Damn it, the power of the abyss has already invaded the sky. We can't let its power continue to erode it, otherwise we won't be able to help at all."
The God of Life waved his hand, and a divine miracle descended upon Qian Renxue in the imperial city of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Since she was chosen by the five enforcers of the God Realm, Qian Renxue's strength must be made strong enough to deal with the power of the abyss.
If she can't even deal with the power of the abyss, what use is she?
"We must believe in Qian Renxue; she can definitely do it!"
"She is the inheritor of the Angel God, and the power of the abyss is naturally countered."
"That's right. If even she can't do it, then the Douluo Continent is probably doomed." The God of Asura said calmly.
"Ha, what a load of rubbish!"
"Have you forgotten that there's another person on the continent who can restrain the power of the Abyss, Chen Qingling!" The God of Destruction sneered and retorted.
"Chen Qingling? She's the daughter of Gu Yuena, someone with a past relationship, she's bound to have an irreconcilable feud with our God Realm!"
"How can we trust someone like that? Can you really trust her?" The God of Asura spread his hands, throwing the choice to them.
Of course, the God of Asura had ulterior motives for saying this.
After all, the God of Asura and Chen Qingling had a blood feud.
He had killed one of her avatars, causing him injury.
How could this debt be settled so easily!
Chen Qingling had to die!
No one could save her life!
This was the small goal set by the God of Asura.
Little did he know, this would be a small goal that the God of Asura could never achieve in his lifetime, and he would even pay a heavy price.
Of course, these are all stories for later, to be told after the Abyss Plane ends.
"This..."
The God of Asura's question immediately stumped the four enforcers present.
They didn't know as much as the God of Asura. Upon learning Chen Qingling's true identity, they were cut off from contact by the power of the abyss before they could observe her more closely.
Therefore, they had no choice but to trust the God of Asura this time.
Even the God of Destruction, who was at odds with the God of Asura, remained silent with a cold face.
Seeing this, the God of Asura secretly rejoiced.
Dragging four enforcers into the fray greatly increased their chances of defeating Chen Qingling!
This kind of underhanded tactic was indeed worthy of making Tang San his successor;
they were birds of a feather! Birds of a feather flock together.
The Goddess of Life frowned. She felt something was amiss, but couldn't find any evidence.
She knew almost nothing about Chen Qingling, only from the God of Asura.
It was common knowledge that people's opinions of others varied; it was hard to believe the God of Asura would exaggerate and embellish Chen Qingling's faults.
...
Four Elements Academy.
Chen Qingling rushed back to the academy without a word to Xiao Wu and the others, instead announcing her seclusion for cultivation.
She wouldn't emerge until she reached level ninety!
Her confidence stemmed from the protection of the miniature version of the Goddess of Light Butterfly, ensuring no one in the academy would be affected by the Abyss's power.
As for the rest of the continent…
Chen Qingling could only apologize; her power was far too insignificant to help everyone.
She could only choose to become stronger, ultimately targeting the leader first, killing Tang San, and destroying the Abyss Plane to eliminate future threats!
Tang San wasn't difficult to kill; one move would be enough to decide his fate.
It was the Abyss Plane that was more troublesome.
It wasn't the Abyss's powerful members that were the problem, but the unique nature of the Abyss's power.
The evil in people's hearts…
This was a situation Chen Qingling currently had no solution for, and could only rely on her father's power.
This was something Chen Qingling didn't want.
She was already so old; how could she keep relying on her father for help?
She wanted to rely on her own strength to solve the problem of the Abyss's power!
Meanwhile, upon learning of Chen Qingling's return, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing rushed there without stopping.
"Sister Qingling is back!"
"Yes, it's just a pity we couldn't see her one last time before we received the news that she had announced her seclusion for cultivation."
Xiao Wu's eyes were deep; she clearly knew what Sister Qingling was planning.
She wanted to improve her strength as soon as possible to go to the Star Dou Great Forest and obtain the sacrifice from the Great Ming.
At that time, she wondered what terrifying level Sister Qingling's strength would reach.
Time flew by, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
In these six months, the continent underwent earth-shattering changes.
Apart from the miniature version of the Goddess of Light Butterfly bestowed by Chen Qingling and the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, other places were affected by the Abyss's power.
It awakened the evil within the humanity of 99% of the people on the continent, turning them into outright villains.
Every day, a scene of deceit and treachery unfolds, resembling a killing field, even surpassing it!
Inside the Four Elements Academy.
The girls watched the scene outside, their hearts filled with lingering fear.
"Fortunately, we had Qingling's Goddess of Light Butterfly protecting us, otherwise we would have become heinous villains too."
"Yes!"
"It's been half a year already, when will Sister Qingling emerge from seclusion?"
"Should be soon."
Speak of the devil, and he appears.
Today is the day Chen Qingling emerges from seclusion!
She has officially reached level ninety!
To advance further, she can only go to the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Everyone, I'm back."
Hearing Chen Qingling's voice, the girls cheered.
"That's great, Qingling, you've finally emerged from seclusion! You have no idea what has happened during this time."
Immediately, they told Chen Qingling what had happened in the past six months.
Her expression was solemn, "Without further ado, I'm heading to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Sister Qingling, I'll go with you."
"Okay, only Xiaowu can go alone."
Immediately, Chen Qingling took Xiaowu to the Star Dou Great Forest.
In a short while, they arrived at their destination: the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Young Master
, you've arrived!"
Sensing their young master's presence, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts released the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and respectfully welcomed Chen Qingling.
"Hmm." Chen Qingling nodded slightly.
At this moment, an untimely voice rang out.
"Waaah, Young Master! You've finally returned!"
"Help me, Young Master!" The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm cried and screamed, its voice filled with grievance.
For countless years, the power within its body had been gradually drained away by Di Tian and the others as the world flowed by.
One day, it would be completely drained by these vampires!
Chen Qingling looked at the ferocious beast behind Di Tian, its size vastly different from the others, with a puzzled expression.
"You are..."
"Young Master, I am the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!"
"Oh, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, what's wrong with you?"
"Young Master, you must avenge me! Di Tian and the others have done all sorts of evil deeds to become stronger! They even prey on their own kind, constantly absorbing the power within me!"
"A bunch of selfish and self-serving bastards! Young Master, isn't this utterly depraved!"
"You must avenge me!"
Chen Qingling fell silent.
She never imagined that Di Tian and the others would do such a thing!
"How could you betray your own kind?"
Di Tian's face flushed red, and he coughed lightly: "What the Young Master says is..."
"Release them."
"Yes, Young Master."
"Young Master, what is the purpose of your trip..."
Xiao Wu pouted beside her, "Don't you even know how high Qingling's soul power level is? You wouldn't be able to improve your strength if you didn't come!"
Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts belatedly realized the Young Master's strength and suddenly understood.
It was the Azure Bull Python's turn to sacrifice itself!
"Da Ming..." Xiao Wu looked at her former friend, the Azure Bull Python.
Next, the Great Ming Azure Ox Python uttered astonishing words.
"Young Master, to be honest, I didn't like you at first."
"Xiao Wu has always been with me and Er Ming. The three of us have lived together for nearly 100,000 years."
"No matter what she did, Er Ming and I supported her, even when she finally chose to become human."
"When you appeared, we realized that Xiao Wu's heart was completely devoted to you. Do you understand that feeling? It's like your own sister leaving you for someone else."
"But, since I learned your true identity, Young Master, I've felt at peace and understood."
"The bond between Young Master and Xiao Wu… is an insurmountable chasm for Er Ming and me."
"Alas, it's a bond that Er Ming and I could never envy in our entire lives!" "
I'm truly happy that you've all come back together this time."
"I'm about to leave, but I have one wish left unfulfilled. I hope you can help me fulfill it, Young Master, is that alright?"
Chen Qingling nodded and said resolutely, "Da Ming, just tell me. Whatever it is, I'll agree to it."
Not for anything else, but for the love between Xiao Wu and Da Ming, she wanted to fulfill Da Ming's last wish.
Da Ming nodded to Chen Qingling, his expression grateful: "Thank you, Young Master. Today may be the day I say thank you the most in my life."
"Xiao Wu, don't be sad. You, like us, have lived for a hundred thousand years."
"You have the Young Master, evolved into a human, and gained new hope."
"But we have lived in this great forest for a hundred thousand years, and we have long since lost any attachment to this world. In a sense, death can be considered both an end and a new beginning."
"Young Master, Er Ming and I have a clear understanding of life and death. Death is not frightening to us."
"It is our honor to become the Young Master's soul rings."
"My only worry is Xiao Wu. My last wish is that Xiao Wu can be happy every day of her life."
"Young Master, Xiao Wu is now in your care." Da Ming's voice echoed in Chen Qingling's mind.
Chen Qingling's eyes were filled with complex emotions, but then she saw the red light suddenly ignite on Da Ming's body.
Red flames began to burn from Da Ming's body; it wasn't fire, but a very special kind of blood flame.
What burned within was their blood, their lives, and their 100,000 years of cultivation.
This was Chen Qingling's second time accepting the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, even though a long time had passed.
Chen Qingling's body was unable to move amidst the bloody light, but she spoke to them with her soul: "Daming, rest assured, I will definitely treat Xiaowu as my own and protect her with my life."
In truth, even without Daming saying so, Chen Qingling would have done the same.
This was her dearest friend of many years!
The bond that belonged to the two of them!
Seeing that Da Ming's body was gradually fading, and hearing Chen Qingling's words, the Azure Bull Python's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.
It understood, of course, that this was the young master's promise, and Chen Qingling would do everything in her power to fulfill it.
Only the young master in this world could do it!
If even the young master couldn't do it, then no one else in the world could.
The blood flames burned brighter and brighter, gradually changing from red to dark red. Da Ming's body also gradually faded during this transformation, like an increasingly transparent red crystal.
Da Ming's body faded first, all the red expanding into a huge ring that slowly contracted, gently merging around him and Chen Qingling's bodies.
