Truly, Weak and Powerless Like a Minnow's Struggle

Seeing this, Tang Hao did not hesitate. A halo of light swirled around his Clear Sky Hammer, and he unleashed his full divine power, charging straight at Ming Yue!

But.

With a sharp clang of metal striking metal, Tang Hao's swift and heavy hammer blow was caught by Ming Yue with just one hand!

"What! How is this possible!?" Shocked to the point of losing his voice, Tang Hao instinctively tried to retreat!

"Ah Hao!" Ah Yin, standing to the side, snapped back to her senses, though her heart was filled with complex emotions.

Seeing Tang Hao in such a state, she hurriedly rushed forward to assist in the attack!

"Hehehe, a laughable offensive. You two are truly as weak and pathetic as struggling trash!"

Grabbing the Clear Sky Hammer and pressing it downward with force, Ming Yue caught Tang Hao off guard, causing him to stumble forward.

At the same time, Ming Yue seized the Blue Silver Emperor vines that Ah Yin had wrapped around him with divine power and gave them a sharp tug.

Ah Yin was pulled along, stumbling toward Ming Yue as well.

Stomping his boot heavily onto Tang Hao's head and using Honkai energy to destroy his vocal organs, Ming Yue then seized the fair neck of Ah Yin, who was now in his arms.

"...How pitiful. The young girl who was once full of anticipation and untainted by the world, only because she met the wrong person, has become this 'pathetic' version of herself today."

Staring into her beautiful, terrified eyes, Ming Yue's right hand, coated in Honkai energy, began to tighten slowly.

Feeling her instinctive struggle born from a desire to survive, Ming Yue's voice suddenly turned gentle:

"Just treat it as a beautiful dream. You can return to the past, back to those truly happy times when you were still the Blue Silver Emperor."

"...No longer a wife, nor a key to some so-called plan, just being yourself again."

As he spoke, feeling her struggles begin to weaken, Ming Yue's voice grew even softer:

"In the dream, you don't meet the wrong person, but instead encounter a human girl who becomes your companion. You adventure, live, and grow together."

"Even if you don't become a god in the end and live out your natural life, you will have truly lived as a human for once."

"And you will have experienced a complete life, one not coerced by anyone!"

His words gradually faded into the ethereal, and the Ah Yin in his arms ceased to breathe.

A faint blue-gold light emerged from her body, quickly enveloping her entirely.

A moment later, a plant with blue-gold veins appeared before Ming Yue, set against the backdrop of a golden halo and a soft white light.

"...So, along with dropping loot, there is also an undying special trait? It truly is a fine material."

A strange glint flashed in his eyes, and Ming Yue immediately stored her and the equipment into the knowledge space of the Void Archives.

"And now, it is your turn, Tang Hao—you who are just as hypocritical as I am, who loves standing on the moral high ground, and who loves using overwhelming force to suppress others!"

As he spoke, he ground his boot down with force, and Ming Yue suddenly sneered: "What level do you think you are to share a personality with me?"

"But one thing is true: neither of us are good people, so meeting me is truly the misfortune of your entire family."

The moment his voice fell, the gathering of Honkai energy was complete, and with a heavy stomp downward, Tang Hao's dog head was crushed into pulp by Ming Yue!

"Truly... using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken. It seems I miscalculated slightly."

[Ding! Main quest Rescue Prayer of the Plane Spirit completed perfectly!]

Listening to the notification with understanding, he kicked aside Tang Hao's headless, instinctively twitching corpse.

Ming Yue turned and approached the Plane Spirit.

"Can you feel it?" Placing his palm on the top of the round ball of light, Ming Yue asked gently as Honkai energy surged.

"...This is such strange, yet terrifyingly horrific energy!?"

Like the scream of a young girl, the entire ball that was the Plane Spirit trembled violently under Ming Yue's palm.

"This is Honkai energy. It is a completely different power system from soul power, one that I have introduced."

Withdrawing his palm, which still crackled with Honkai energy, Ming Yue smiled faintly.

"Honkai... energy? What a terrifying name. Wait! You just said this is... is... is... you!?"

The ball trembled as if still suffering from lingering fear, but soon, the terrified voice, sounding like a girl's scream, looked toward Ming Yue through its trembling.

"...Soul masters and soul beasts, killing beasts for rings and even fusing beast bones? All for the sake of the soul skills within those bones?"

"Born on the mother planet of the Dragon God, do you not feel that this world is far too deformed?"

Nodding as he looked at her, Ming Yue peacefully raised his head and continued: "This world is sick, ever since the moment the Dragon God fell due to the wrath of the Great Dao!"

"This world began to march rapidly toward a terminal state!"

"Before the rules are completely set and locked, and before the world is completely finished, I have introduced a new variable!"

Turning to smile at her, Ming Yue's tone was gentle:

"Perhaps this variable will be a clear spring of living water, or perhaps... this variable will make this already terrible world even worse!"

"But human effort can change things! Especially with a good child like you in existence. So, are you willing to join me, the one who introduced this brand-new variable, to guide this brand-new era?"

As he spoke, he slowly opened his arms toward her, his gaze fixed on her becoming increasingly gentle and expectant.

"I-I'm not your good child!" A young girl's coquettish pout rang out as the Plane Spirit, a round little ball, slammed directly into Ming Yue's chest.

"But as for guiding my own children, even without you saying it, I will carry it out firmly!"

As the muffled voice sounded, Ming Yue felt this creature rubbing against his chest a few times, seemingly getting a bit carried away.

"Then it's a deal. A good child is going to guide this brand-new era with me, okay?"

Patting her head lightly, Ming Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, maintaining a gentle tone.

"Mm."

[After subduing the Plane Spirit, you began to clean up the so-called Abyss Plane.]

[Don't be fooled by how much those Abyss Emperor brag; in reality, even after breaking through, the so-called Abyss Great Emperor is only at the level of a First-Class God.]

[A guy not even as strong as Tang Hao cannot last a single round in your hands.]

[Having dealt with him easily, you began to search for the so-called Douluo God Realm!]

[But after traversing the universe for a long time, you simply could not find those rats hiding away. Helpless, as your Karma Demon End Mode was nearing its end, you had no choice but to return to Douluo Planet!]

[However, at this moment on Douluo Planet, although you personally ended the war with the Abyss Plane and had the Plane Spirit manipulate Douluo Planet to annex the other side and complete its upgrade, due to the arrival of Honkai, Douluo Planet has already changed drastically, and the base population of living beings has plummeted!]
