351: Chapter 351 I need to woo the Queen

Chen Yi's mouth twitched: "So---I have to use my charms to win over that Queen and make her willingly enter a contract with me? Isn't the difficulty level a bit too high?"

Think about it, who was Hua Liuli?

A Demon Emperor Queen who had lived for at least several thousand years, the supreme ruler of the Demon Abyss Cult, and a terrifying existence who had reached the Eleventh Rank!

The schemes she had seen, the storms she had weathered, and the human warmth, coldness, love, and hatred she had witnessed were probably more than the meals Chen Yi had ever eaten!

Forget about seducing her; it would be a blessing if she didn't turn around and teach Chen Yi a few tricks on how to pick up girls!

Ridiculous!

This task was simply too ridiculous!

Just then, Cloud Dragon's body began to become transparent.

"Senior!"

Chen Yi noticed the abnormality and hurriedly stepped forward.

Cloud Dragon raised his hand, signaling him not to be nervous: "Time's up! I cannot leave this place, and this appearance has exhausted almost all of my power!"

"I've already told you the solution. As for how to do it---that's up to you."

"I don't know when I'll wake up next time---perhaps we'll never have the chance to meet again!"

"Young man, this world---I entrust it to you!"

Chen Yi nodded solemnly: "Rest assured, Senior, I will definitely find a way."

The women also bowed one after another: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior!!!"

Cloud Dragon smiled.

In that smile, there was gratification, relief, and a trace of imperceptible sadness.

Chen Yi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Senior, may I ask your name? Even if everyone forgets you, I still want to set up a tombstone for you---"

"There's no need!"

Cloud Dragon shook his head and said, "I am just a---selfish King who will be loathed by everyone for countless years and who finally achieved immortality in this extremely unconventional way!"

As his voice fell, his figure completely dissipated.

At the same time, the entire crystal space began to vibrate violently!

Cloud Dragon waved his hand, and a gentle force of laws enveloped everyone.

The next second.

A spinning sensation came over them, their vision went black, and they lost consciousness.

When Chen Yi opened his eyes again, he found himself back on the third floor.

But the scene before him was completely different—the thick mist had disappeared.

Lilian looked around and said softly: "Senior Cloud Dragon---was that King from six thousand years ago, right?"

Chen Yi nodded: "I'm afraid so! His last sentence explained everything."

Thinking of Cloud Dragon's weathered and sad eyes, the women all fell silent.

A single person, because of the desire to pursue immortality, ultimately caused the entire world to fall into a disaster lasting five thousand years.

And he himself was trapped in the heart of the secret realm in the form of a soul, spending six thousand years in solitude.

"Looking at his expression---"

Shi Yuying sighed, "Over these thousands of years, he must have been regretting it every day, right? After all, he never thought that using magic power would lead to such terrifying consequences."

But what was the use of regret?

The mistake had been made, and the world had changed.

What needed to be done now was not to dwell on the past but to find a way forward for the future.

Everyone's gaze focused on Chen Yi once again.

"So---"

Yun Zhiyao asked cautiously, "Chen Yi, are you really going to seduce the Queen of the Demon Abyss Cult?"

Although the word "seduce" felt incredibly bizarre here, it was the most appropriate description.

After all, only by winning over Hua Liuli could she be made to willingly enter a contract, allowing the system's purification power to be deployed!

Force would be useless!

"What else can I do? In this world, only I have this ability, so it has to be me!"

Chen Yi shook his head with a bitter smile, "But before that, we have to leave this place first. This matter needs careful planning!"

Before his voice could fade, a sudden commotion came from the distance.

"Help!"

"What on earth is going on? Why did the mist suddenly disappear?"

“Damn it, so there were this many demonic beasts here?"

"Run! Those demonic beasts are catching up!"

Two Beast Tamer teams were seen running desperately, pursued by dozens of demonic beasts of various shapes and sizes.

These demonic beasts had originally been hidden in the mist; now that the mist had dissipated, they had lost their cover and instead became even more violent.

Those two teams were clearly lacking in strength, with most members only around the Sixth Rank.

Facing demonic beasts of similar levels but several times their number, they had no power to fight back at all.

"I'll go help!"

Lin Mengxue volunteered.

She spread her wings and flew out, instantly traversing a distance of a hundred meters.

Ice Breath!

"Crack!"

Wherever the cold current passed, everything was frozen.

The pursuing demonic beasts instantly turned into ice sculptures, frozen in place in their running poses.

The entire process took less than two and a half seconds!

The people from the two teams were dumbfounded.

The swarm of demonic beasts they couldn't defeat even with their lives on the line was... insta-killed just like that?

Only when Lin Mengxue returned to human form and landed did they snap out of it, hurriedly running over to give their thanks.

"Th-thank you for saving us!"

A middle-aged man in the lead panted, "We are a joint exploration team from Eagle Country and the Surrendered Country. I am Captain Jack!"

Chen Yi waved his hand: "I am Chen Yi, from Dragon Country. Alright, that's all!"

"Chen Yi?"

Jack's eyes widened. "You are that strongest genius from Dragon Country, Chen Yi? You're actually still on the third floor?"

Chen Yi didn't answer Jack's question but instead asked: "With your strength, you shouldn't be capable of coming here to explore, right? Why are you here?"

Jack smiled bitterly: "The geniuses from various countries haven't returned for a long time, so the higher-ups got anxious and sent more people! We were all temporarily mobilized. Originally, we only operated on the first and second floors, but we heard there might be clues on the third floor, so we took a risk and came in---"

The result was, naturally, that they were almost wiped out.

Of course, if the mist hadn't disappeared, that might not have been the case.

Chen Yi understood.

It seemed the situation outside was even worse than he had imagined.

"If you are looking for heaven and earth spiritual treasures, please suit yourselves."

Chen Yi said, "But if you want to find the truth of the world---I already know it."

Jack was stunned: "You---you know the truth?"

"In three days, I will hold a press conference in Dragon Country to announce everything."

Chen Yi didn't say much more, "Take care of yourselves!"

With that, he led the women straight toward the exit.

Jack and the others stood frozen on the spot, only snapping out of it after a long while.

"Did he just say---he knows the truth?"

"Chen Yi... is truly amazing."

"Too strong! Is this what an unparalleled monster is like?"

All the geniuses were struggling to survive in the secret realm, yet only Chen Yi had not only come out alive but also found the truth of the world.

This gap was just too large!

---

Outside the Antarctica Secret Realm, at the Joint Research Base.

The atmosphere had reached a breaking point.

Since the geniuses from various countries entered the secret realm, almost a year had passed.

During this period, people had come out one after another, but they were all ordinary Beast Tamers who had only lingered on the first, second, and third floors.

The truly famous powerhouses—Gu Fan, David, Ivan, Chen Yi, Miyamoto Genzo, and so on—these people were either confirmed dead or had vanished without a trace.

It was almost certain that they had met with misfortune!
