Planet Befall

"How could this little brat possibly possess such power?" The Burly Strongman had just steadied himself after landing and stared at Mo Yuqing in disbelief. She only had one Spirit Ring—how could she be this strong? Was that jade pendant really that powerful? Could it be some divine artifact?

"I don't know. Something's wrong with that shield. My Soul-Stealing Dart didn't get any reaction at all when it hit it. We should retreat first—run as far as we can." The young man's expression was exceptionally grave.

"Run? Why the hell would we run?!"

The Burly Strongman shouted, then turned around and roared at the young man, "What the hell do you know? Everyone who knows we're Evil Soul Masters has to die. Otherwise, if they report us, Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, or even Titled Douluos will come hunting us down in a few days! We have no way out!"

"Heh... hah..."

Mo Yuqing paid them no attention. She directly let out a low growl and released a great deal of Elemental Power, but this eruption of Geo Elemental Power was not particularly strong. It merely formed a two-meter-tall stone wall around the two men.

The range was large, but it was not actually very useful. In her imagination, releasing so much Elemental Power should have directly wrapped around them and crushed them to death. This was different from what she had expected.

"Careful!"

The young man warily looked at the stone wall, took a light breath, and cautiously said, "These stone walls can grow rapidly. It's best not to get close, or we'll be done for if a stone spike suddenly shoots out."

"Do you need to tell me that? Fourth Soul Skill—Blood Burst Impact!"

The Burly Strongman gritted his teeth, extracted a large amount of Soul Power, and unleashed his Fourth Soul Skill again, slashing at the stone wall before him.

"Boom!"

The blood-red slash crashed fiercely into the stone wall, shattering it with a thunderous roar. Even the Burly Strongman had not expected his attack to break through the rock so easily.

Just as he thought, The jade pendant's energy must be exhausted, so its attacks have weakened. This is the perfect chance to kill those two, the sky suddenly darkened, and an overwhelming pressure descended.

Planet Befall!

The young man and the Burly Strongman raised their heads at the same time. They saw the enormous rift that had silently appeared in the sky at some point, as well as the gigantic meteor falling from it. Their hearts skipped a beat, and without another thought, they turned and ran.

The enormous meteor was simply too large, and its oppressive aura was too powerful. It left them unable to muster even the desire to resist, driving them to flee into the distance on instinct alone.

"BOOM!!"

The meteor crashed into the ground, and an immense shockwave erupted like thunder. A giant crater was smashed into the earth, and everything within it was turned to stone. The two men had also become stone statues fleeing in terror, forever stripped of their lives.

"Th-this isn't what I imagined."

Mo Yuqing's mouth fell slightly open as she stared at the scene before her, speaking in stunned confusion. She had only wanted to wrap them in rock and crush them to death. She had never expected such an outcome.

"Th-this was your doing?"

Zhongli stared at Mo Yuqing with a completely baffled expression, looking as though he were questioning his entire life. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he blinked blankly, as though confirming whether this Mo Yuqing was really the person he knew.

"I... I think it was me. This jade pendant is way too powerful."

Mo Yuqing swallowed as she looked at the jade pendant in her hand in disbelief. However, its glow was clearly much dimmer than before. The center had become an ordinary yellow crystal instead of shining as brightly as it had earlier.

"Huh, the jade pendant's light has dimmed."

Zhongli looked at the jade pendant and said.

"Has it? It really did get dimmer."

Mo Yuqing looked at the darkened jade pendant in her hand and tried using her Geo Elemental Power. In the end, only a twenty-centimeter Rock Pillar rose from the ground. Compared to earlier, its power had declined drastically.

But in truth, this was its original power. The excess strength earlier had all been Zhongli's additional amplification. When Mo Yuqing wanted to use her ultimate move, Zhongli had directly reduced the amplification and then unleashed Planet Befall himself.

"It was probably that move you used just now—the one that looked like a falling meteor. It must have used up all the energy in the jade pendant." Zhongli's mouth twitched slightly as he spoke, and the way he looked at Mo Yuqing gradually changed.

"Eeek~"

Mo Yuqing immediately sucked in a breath. Something that could allow a Soul Master to instantly kill a Soul Ancestor was absolutely a family heirloom. Yet she had just used up all its energy, and it had now lost its "original power." She truly felt a little guilty.

"Um... sorry."

Mo Yuqing said awkwardly.

"Ah, it's fine. It's not a pity."

Zhongli waved his hand indifferently, then forced a smile and continued, "I couldn't make it light up or unleash such powerful strength anyway, but you can use it. This must be fate."

"This thing is of no use to me, so I might as well give it to you. After all, you saved me, and you saved both our lives. You deserve it."

"Oh..."

Mo Yuqing looked at the dim jade pendant in her hand and could not help asking, "Then what is this thing called? I don't even know what to call it. I can only vaguely sense that its power can respond to my wishes."

"It's an old heirloom passed down through my family. They say it has a history of several thousand years, but its name was lost amid the ups and downs of history. It was simply passed down generation after generation..."

Zhongli sighed softly, then looked at Mo Yuqing with a smile. "But since it can respond to your wishes, I would like to give it a fitting name as its previous owner."

"This jade pendant's perception is as meticulous as a god's eyes. It can easily discern your wishes, respond to your heart, and become your strength. Then I shall call it a God's Eye. And perhaps you are someone being watched over by a god as well."

"God's Eye... watched over by a god..."

Mo Yuqing tightly held the God's Eye in both hands. A sunny smile gradually appeared on her face as she said, "That sounds pretty romantic. But I don't need to be watched over by a god. As long as you're willing to keep watching me, that's enough~ Hehe~"

"I can do that."

Zhongli smiled and rubbed Mo Yuqing's little head, then turned to look at the yellow Spirit Ring nearby. "I'm going to absorb the Spirit Ring now. You can protect me properly."

"No problem!"

Mo Yuqing lifted her chin slightly, put her little hands on her waist, and answered with great confidence.

Zhongli walked toward the Scarlet Armor Earth Dragon, silently refreshed the shields around himself and Mo Yuqing, and then began absorbing the Spirit Ring.

The sensation of absorption was somewhat unclear because the difficulty was too low and the speed was too fast. He had nearly absorbed all the energy within the Spirit Ring in an instant, and the next moment, a purple Spirit Ring appeared beside Zhongli.

Mo Yuqing, who was watching Zhongli absorb the Spirit Ring, was dumbfounded. She could not understand why he absorbed Spirit Rings so quickly, as though he did not need any time at all. More importantly, why had this yellow Spirit Ring turned purple after you absorbed it?

Something was definitely wrong!
