The woman pondered for a few breaths, then said:
"There is a special challenge, a task that is almost impossible for you to complete. If you can complete it, I will give you this opportunity and let you stand on my side."
"Please, go ahead," Shen Ye said.
"Go deal with a disturbance-someone is causing trouble within the seal. You must get them to settle down," the woman said.
This was his only chance.
If he missed this opportunity, who knew how difficult it would be to establish a connection with the Fate Seal again?
Then-
"I'll try," Shen Ye said.
"Remember, stop them from attacking and stall for a while, and you will succeed-you must buy time."
"Understood."
"Go!" the woman intoned softly.
Shen Ye vanished from the spot in an instant.
Only the woman remained in the darkness.
Her eyes were slightly closed. She seemed to be thinking about something, yet also seemed to be thinking about nothing at all.
Wisps of light peeled away from her body.
Light.
It fell from her body and sank into the depths of the darkness.
She grew much dimmer.
Elsewhere.
Shen Ye appeared in a spacious underground plaza.
A familiar cry of surprise followed:
"Shen Ye!"
Shen Ye had been preparing for battle with all his strength. Startled by the voice, he turned to look.
That tall, beautiful girl.
-Song Yinchen!
"Why are you here?" Shen Ye moved to her side while nervously surveying their surroundings.
"I heard something had happened to the Xirang, so I came to help," the girl said.
"Is that-the Chaotic Spiritual Light?"
"Yes. They're very angry and doing everything they can to destroy this place."
Above the plaza, the Chaotic Spiritual Light kept lashing out with sharp, rainbow-colored threads that pierced the entire underground world.
