249: Chapter 249: Testing the Gods (Twenty-Five)

Ye Kingdom.

Qian Ye stood on a high platform, gazing at the sky, which was as black as thick ink.

Meng Yu, standing beside her, also fell silent.

"Big Boss, we will win, right..."

The constant danger had made her forget the pain.

Tai You had remained here forever to protect them; they could not even preserve his body.

"Naturally, this is beyond doubt." Qian Ye murmured to herself.

It was just...

Just that the price of this victory was inestimable.

Qian Ye clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white.

Meng Yu looked at the serious-looking Big Boss, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Having grown used to her casual, playful nature, this sudden seriousness... also meant that everything was not as simple as she had thought.

Meng Yu gazed at the houses and buildings below.

They had now become dilapidated, exuding an aura of darkness everywhere, with evil forces eroding every inch of land in the Ye Kingdom.

No, not just the Ye Kingdom, but also the Holy City, and even the entire human world, bringing endless darkness and death.

She, they... those who remained in the Floating Life Pavilion, where did they come from, and where would they eventually stop?

Meng Yu suddenly felt very lost.

The next moment, Qian Ye drew close to her. "Do not be influenced by these auras."

Meng Yu took a deep breath, striving to dispel the feeling of confusion in her heart. "But, Big Boss, we have almost no clues right now, only knowing that the enemy is stronger than we can imagine."

Qian Ye's gaze was firm. "I just had a premonition; Nangong Yan is about to succeed, and the turning point is almost here."

Meng Yu's eyes brightened. "That's great."

"Let's go, we are going to a place."

Meng Yu nodded and followed Qian Ye as she vanished from the city wall.

...

Meng Yu looked at the surrounding trees, the withered branches and leaves, and the gradually rising fog.

The eerie mist permeating the surroundings was gloomy and terrifying.

Suddenly, a group of dark shadows rushed out to attack them. Qian Ye drew her blade to respond, while Meng Yu cast spells for defense.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, Meng Yu spotted a familiar figure among the dark shadows—Tai You.

"How is this possible?" Meng Yu exclaimed.

Qian Ye, however, said calmly: "This is an illusion; it is a phantom created by the dark forces using our memories. Do not be deceived." After saying this, the Red Thread in Qian Ye's hand quickly cut through the mist.

The further they walked into the depths of the forest, the thicker the fog became, and the path underfoot became increasingly difficult to traverse.

Suddenly, a gate flickering with ghostly light appeared ahead, its surface engraved with ancient and obscure runes.

Qian Ye cautiously approached the gate, and Meng Yu followed nervously behind.

When Qian Ye touched the gate, a powerful force instantly sucked both of them inside.

"We've arrived." Qian Ye stared at this gate, a flash of nostalgia passing through her eyes.

"Big Boss, where is this?"

Qian Ye reached out, her hand gently stroking the raised characters on it, murmuring softly, "This is the resting place of the Five Domain Envoys."

"Five Domain Envoys?" This touched another blind spot in Meng Yu's knowledge.

"There is no time left. Let's go in first; my power cannot sustain this for much longer now." As Qian Ye spoke, she formed seals with her hands, a complex symbol appeared, finally forming a red key.

The gate opened.

Meng Yu looked curiously at everything inside.

It looked like a strange space, with various glowing spheres floating around, images flickering within them; those spheres seemed to store unknown memories.

At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded: "Welcome to the Land of Truth."

Qian Ye told Meng Yu to touch those light orbs.

After receiving those ancient memories, Meng Yu finally understood everything.

It turned out that at the beginning of the world, this domain was called the Wan Yu World, also known as the Colorless World. And the Big Boss before her had actually divided this region into different domains: Human, God, Demon, Fiend, and Buddha.

At the time of their birth, all evils were born alongside them, and the existence of the Floating Life Pagoda was meant to suppress all evils.

The price was the slumber of the Five Domain Envoys, leaving only Qian Ye, the head of the Six Domain Envoys, wandering the human world.

Only when the Wan Yu World fell into calamity again would it be possible to awaken them.

And the key to the seal was at the Yellow Springs Shore.

The place of the seal was in the Misty Forest.
