383: Chapter 383 Heavenly Falling Star Valley
The commotion caused by the slaying of the Skeleton Progenitor was too great.
That world-destroying aura, that energy fluctuation at the level of rules, spread almost across the entire Plane Battlefield.
Soon, Beast Tamer teams from other countries arrived one after another.
When they saw the tragic state of the Sea of Deathly Sand, they all gasped in cold air.
And when they learned the sequence of events from the Dragon Kingdom's Beast Tamers, they were even more shocked, unable to speak.
"A Tier 14 Demon Emperor—the Skeleton Progenitor?"
"Slashed in one hit by a silver-haired woman?"
"Are you kidding me?"
If the aura remaining at the scene weren't truly terrifying, they would definitely have thought this was a story made up by the people of the Dragon Kingdom.
But the facts were right before their eyes.
In the center of the Sea of Deathly Sand, that massive array with a diameter of ten kilometers was still slowly dissipating.
The aura of death permeating the air, along with that chill that seemed capable of freezing the soul, all proved that some terrifying existence had indeed descended just moments ago.
"Who... is that silver-haired woman?"
"Chen Yi's Contracted Spirit Beast? Don't joke around; a spirit beast capable of killing a Tier 14 Demon Emperor in one hit—just how strong must her Beast Tamer be?"
"Isn't Chen Yi only a Ninth Rank Beast Tamer?"
"That's exactly what makes it so terrifying—"
The crowd discussed it fervently, their gazes toward Chen Yi filled with awe and curiosity.
As for Chen Yi, the person involved in the incident.
After briefly bidding farewell to Guo Xiangyang and the others, he took Emilia and The girls in the Crystal Palace, and vanished without a trace in an instant.
"Where is he going?"
"Don't know—but it must be something important, right?"
"What happened today must be reported immediately! The Skeleton Progenitor reappeared and was killed in one hit by a mysterious powerhouse—this news is too shocking."
"Indeed!"
The Sea of Deathly Sand gradually returned to calm.
But everything that happened tonight was destined to shake the entire world.
Meanwhile, Chen Yi had already appeared outside the Plane Battlefield, above a certain sea area in the Pacific Ocean.
Inside the Crystal Palace.
The girls sat around Chen Yi, their faces wearing complex expressions.
"So—"
Black Rose asked softly, "Are we really going to find the Queen next?"
Chen Yi nodded, his gaze firm.
"Hua Liuli's goal is to become a god, change the rules of the world, and realize the philosophy of the Coexistence Faction."
"And my goal is to purify her, close the Space-Time Rift, and end this disaster that has lasted for five thousand years."
"Our goals do not conflict—as long as I can become a god before her, or... make her willingly enter a contract with me."
"So, I'm counting on you for what comes next, Miss Matchmaker."
Emilia leaned lazily on a crystal chair, a cunning glint flashing in her crimson eyes.
"I can do it, but... what about the reward?"
Chen Yi's mouth twitched: "Didn't you already ask for a one-day reward?"
"That was the reward for taking action just now."
Emilia held up a finger, "Setting you and Hua Liuli up... is a different matter~"
"You—"
"Alright, alright, I'm joking~"
Emilia waved her hand, "But seriously, that Hua Liuli... is not that easy to handle! She has lived for four thousand years and has seen more men than you have eaten meals in your entire life! You wanting to make her fall for you... is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"But I have to try."
Chen Yi also stood up and walked to her side, "Besides, don't I have you to help me?"
Emilia turned to look at him, her silhouette reflected in her crimson eyes.
After a long while, she smiled.
"So, are you ready to go meet your future contract target, little handsome?"
"That goes without saying!"
---
Plane Battlefield, deep within Skyfall Star Valley.
This place is shrouded in a layer of gray-purple mist all year round, with star fragments floating between the cliffs on both sides of the valley, emitting a cold and broken light.
The air is permeated with the peculiar distortion characteristic of a Space-Time Rift, and it feels extremely strange just looking at it.
As soon as Chen Yi's foot touched this land, he felt a heavy pressure squeezing in from all directions.
"This is it."
Emilia let go of Chen Yi's hand and pointed to the deepest part of the valley.
Ahead, a massive array was slowly operating.
In the center of the array, a dark purple crystal, fully three meters high, was floating silently.
Black, arc-like patterns flashed across the surface of the crystal from time to time, emitting a low hum.
This was the Myriad Manifestations Convergence array eye set up by Hua Liuli, a forbidden object with the origin of the Space-Time Rift as its core, capable of turning anyone who touches it into her subordinate array eye!
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes: "Tell me in detail what exactly this thing is."
Emilia explained: "Simply put, this array eye is exactly what Hua Liuli intends to use against you!"
"She wants to establish the Coexistence Faction, allowing humanity, spirit beasts, and the Demon Abyss Cult to coexist under a certain twisted balance."
"Anyone who touches it will be eroded by the power of the Space-Time Rift, and their soul will be branded with a subordinate mark!"
"By then, as the main array eye, Hua Liuli will be able to control you to a certain extent; theoretically, this is irreversible."
Chen Yi watched the slowly rotating crystal in silence.
His next goal was to completely and thoroughly utilize this thing!
The girls also jumped out from the Crystal Palace one after another, their faces full of worry.
"Brother Chen Yi, have you really thought this through?"
"If you fail, you won't just become a puppet; you'll become a public enemy of the entire world!"
"Husband, I think you're taking too big a risk! We can think of a way slowly!"
"Hubby, we are so scared—"
"Chen Yi, I believe in your choice! But... if you fail, I will use all my power to protect your soul, even if the price is my bloodline origin!"
"Chen Yi, Tao Tao has already lost me once—don't let her lose you again."
Chen Yi looked around at the women beside him, each with different personalities but all equally devoted to him, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He took a deep breath, reached out to rub Su Taotao's head, and patted Shi Yuying's pert buttocks.
"I understand your concerns!"
"But the problem of the Space-Time Rift cannot be delayed any longer!"
"Although Hua Liuli's plan is crazy, she does indeed possess the method to utilize the power of the rift!"
"And becoming a array eye means I can gain the authority to understand and even manipulate part of the rift's power, which should also be able to reduce some of the power of the demon beasts!"
"At the same time, once I become the array eye, I can greatly reduce Hua Liuli's guard against me! By then, 'conquering' her should be much simpler!"
Lilian's lips moved, and she squeezed out a sentence: "But... what about the sisters who stayed behind? If the outside world thinks you have defected to the Demon Abyss Cult, they will be condemned by everyone, and possibly—"
"They will understand me!"
Chen Yi interrupted her, "Because the people I choose have never been weak! They have the courage to wait for me, the wisdom to distinguish truth from falsehood, and the strength to endure pressure—just like you!"
"Besides, isn't this exactly the reason why we formulated our final plan?"
"A play requires the cooperation of all of us!"
