Not a Saint, and You're No Better Than a Rat?
After sending the children back to the island, Ye Jing returned immediately.
After seeing their children return safely, the children's parents immediately showed them "kindness" and concern.
The scene was one of maternal love and filial piety, and deep affection between father and son!
The little ones were so touched that even after Ye Jing teleported away, he could still hear their happy cries!
A sound that resounded through the sky!
Return to Qiuyue's side.
The Faceless Woman, Zhang Youyou, hadn't left yet; she was chatting with Qiuyue.
"Young Master, Sister Zhang she's leaving us and might not be back for a long time."
Upon seeing Ye Jing return, Qiuyue immediately spoke.
Ye Jing frowned slightly; this was news he didn't want to hear.
Although the sudden appearance of the Faceless Woman startled him a little.
However, in their subsequent interactions, the Faceless Woman still provided him with a lot of help.
They're not as terrifying as they appear.
On the contrary, he's a very good person—no, he has a very good soul!
Of course, Ye Jing wouldn't force the Faceless Woman to stay; firstly, he didn't have the qualifications, and secondly, he didn't have the strength.
"Sister Zhang, where are you going?"
Ye Jing was actually more curious about the secrets of this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit named Zhang Youyou.
His strength is unfathomable; Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit who once resided in the underworld and directly addresses the Underworld Great Emperor by his name...
Each and every one of these is enough to shock the world!
He was also very curious about what kind of path they were talking about, and what kind of path the underworld had chosen.
And what does it mean that the underworld the girl mentioned reached a critical point?
Are these ghosts from the underworld coming to the world of the living because they can no longer survive in the underworld?
Why can't the underworld, where people have lived for thousands of years, continue to exist?
Zhang Youyou looked at Ye Jing, her empty face seemingly smiling. Her voice was soft and tinged with laughter, like a whisper in the wind, "Handsome young man, I have my mission, things I must accomplish."
I know you have many questions, but I can't tell you right now.
"I can only tell you that in the future, things like the underworld invading the mortal world will only increase. At that time, the lives of mortals will be as worthless as they are now!"
"If you can't become a saint, in the final stage, you'll have to be like a rat to survive!"
Everyone in Hundred Rivers City turned into a ghost in this incident!
He lost his life!
Ye Jing remained silent. This Heaven and Earth Cataclysm was far too bizarre. Shouldn't the Heaven and Earth Cataclysm have ended soon, causing the Spiritual Qi to deplete and everything to return to calm?
Why did Zhang Youyou say that without becoming a saint, one can only live like a rat?
Why is that?
Those are the God of Heaven and Earth!
This realm was not allowed to exist before the Heaven and Earth Cataclysm.
How could they live such a humble life!
What major event is about to occur in this sudden Heaven and Earth Cataclysm?
"Sister Zhang, could I know why the underworld has to sacrifice a city?" Ye Jing asked calmly.
"You're a formation master, you should have guessed that by now, right?" Zhang Youyou's voice was calm. "After all, Yin spirits are not beings of the mortal realm. If they want to exist in the mortal realm, they must have a suitable environment."
At this point in Zhang Youyou, Ye Jing confirmed his suspicions.
"Furthermore, they didn't want to be exposed to the world immediately, so Hundred Rivers City, located near the edge of the continent, became their first choice."
Zhang Youyou's voice seemed to sigh, but it was very soft, and neither Ye Jing nor Qiuyue could hear it!
"I understand!" Ye Jing nodded. "Sister Zhang, will you come back?"
He knew he couldn't stop Zhang Youyou; she had already protected him very well during this time!
Zhang Youyou was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yes, but maybe not. It depends on many factors, including whether I can complete my mission, and how this world changes."
"Sister Zhang, take this. You should know how to use it. Let's keep in touch!" Ye Jing took out a Spirit Machine from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Youyou.
"Alright, handsome young man, it seems we'll meet again someday. I hope that when we meet again, you'll be Supreme Great Emperor. You are the most gifted person I've ever seen, and perhaps you really have the potential to become an emperor!" Zhang Youyou had no face, but his voice was filled with laughter.
"Sister Zhang, don't joke with me, drop your hopes!" Ye Jing chuckled shamelessly.
Zhang Youyou was taken aback, then her voice and smile became even more pronounced.
"If, and I mean if, you really do become the Great Emperor, if you have the time, go to the Heavenly Court Peach Garden, find the oldest Peach Tree there, and there's a spatial passage beneath it. After you go through it, help me destroy that place!"
Zhang Youyou didn't give Ye Jing a chance to speak, and immediately continued to speak.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Here, take this back. It's too small; it doesn't suit my face!" Zhang Youyou tossed the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi to Ye Jing, and then her figure slowly vanished.
"Handsome boy, keep going! You have to survive!"
After Zhang Youyou finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared.
Ye Jing held the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi in his hand, his expression somewhat grave.
Even someone of Zhang Youyou's level is leaving because of the pressure; this world is truly difficult to navigate!
"Young Master!" Qiuyue called softly.
"It's alright, let's go too, and try our best to survive!"
Ye Jing hung the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi on his waist and began his journey with Qiuyue under the endless night.
Heading towards Dali!
Northern Desert.
In the camp of the Demon Extermination Alliance.
An old man with a full head of red hair, his armor covered in scars.
Clearly, they've been through several major battles!
Below him, the generals suffered the same fate, some even missing an arm or an eye.
This shows how brutal the war was.
No one spoke; the military tent was eerily quiet, save for the sound of the strong wind blowing outside.
Finally, one of the generals mustered his courage and spoke up:
"Um... Commander, let's retreat! If we keep fighting like this, we'll run out of troops!"
The red-haired old man didn't respond; he just sat at the top of the table with his head down, lost in thought.
"Commander, those damned reinforcements from Southern Ridge! They said they'd arrive in a month, but now that time is almost up, they're saying they can't come. What nonsense about Southern Ridge strife breaking out again and needing to send troops to suppress it? What's so important about internal strife being more important than the Devil Race invasion?" Another general slammed his fist on the table in anger!
"And then there's the Heavenly Court. They have so many Heavenly Soldier Heavenly General, yet they're unwilling to send reinforcements. Doesn't that damned Western Sea have a bunch of old bald monks? Let them go too!"
"That's right, Commander! I don't know what got into the Devil Race, but they've suddenly intensified their attack on our Eastern Continent. Our Eastern Continent Garrison Army was already weak, and now it's even more unbearable. Originally, we had a total of 600,000 troops, but now we only have 400,000 left. We really can't continue fighting like this; our soldiers are lives too!"
