The next morning, Qin Ze led the Heavenly King to the forbidden area.
The clan leader, the Tree Bearer, Zi Liangchen, and a group of the Spirit Clan experts were already waiting there.
Seeing the Heavenly King behind Qin Ze, the clan leader asked, "Are you taking them in with you?"
Qin Ze nodded. "We're a team when we're together."
The chieftain kindly reminded them, "Some dangers cannot be solved by numbers; in fact, more people can become a burden."
Qin Ze was brimming with confidence. "I will definitely be the last one to die."
The clan chief glanced at the Dharma King and his several birds and beasts.
She didn't understand why Qin Ze trusted their loyalty so much.
In dire situations, the most important thing to be wary of is someone willing to go to great lengths for you.
However, since Qin Ze had made up his mind, the clan leader could not say anything more.
"Wear this on your wrist."
The clan chief gave Qin Ze a bracelet woven from leaves and spirit branches.
Qin Ze put it on his wrist, and the bracelet then connected to his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
The clan chief explained, "The bracelet will guide you to the spirit of the Zi Yue."
Qin Ze nodded slightly.
This saved him a lot of trouble, preventing him from wandering Chaos aimlessly like a headless fly.
"We are not entirely clear about the formation mechanism of the forbidden area."
"How Zi Yue activated the formation in the first place remains a mystery to us."
"If you wish to find her spirit, you must enter the formation, but the prerequisite is to activate the formation first."
"We will attempt a joint attack on the formation later; once it is activated, you can enter."
The clan chief then explained her simple and brutal plan to Qin Ze.
She did not specify how to activate the forbidden area's array.
However, formations usually have emergency mechanisms.
It is usually activated passively after being attacked.
Qin Ze waved his hand. "No need for that trouble, you may all leave for now."
The others looked at the clan leader.
After a moment of silence, the clan leader led everyone back, leaving plenty of space.
Qin Ze walked straight to the formation, with Brother Devour and the others following closely behind.
Golden Divine Markings suddenly intertwined in Qin Ze's eyes, causing the Spirit Tree to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, a black barrier rose from the ground, instantly enveloping Qin Ze and the others.
The Spirit Clan looked at each other in bewilderment; the formation had been activated before they could react.
This alien was even more knowledgeable about formations than they were.
Seeing this, the clan chief said to the Tree Bearer standing beside him, "Now you should believe that the last incident in the forbidden area was caused by him."
The Tree Bearer nodded in astonishment.
"Now... what should we do?"
The clan leader said calmly, "Wait."
"I hope he's still that quick."
Within the barrier, Qin Ze retrieved all the Heavenly King.
The Book of the Forbidden Land has risen from the ground, hovering in mid-air and turning its pages back and forth.
As the pages turned faster and faster, a splash of multicolored black emerged from within, and that familiar pulling force returned.
Qin Ze used his mental power to awaken the Oracle of Light, and the voice of the Socially Anxious immediately rang in his ears.
Are you sure you want to use it now?
Qin Ze nodded. "Now."
The light transformed into a stream of light that flew out from between his forehead and split in two.
Some of them adhered to the Book of the Forbidden Land, coating its surface with a faint glow.
Another beam of light entered Qin Ze's body.
Miss Sword Case exclaimed, " Qin Ze, you're glowing!"
At this moment, Qin Ze had become a human-shaped light bulb.
The light of that light was even more dazzling than his original divine radiance.
The faint voice of the Oracle Light rang out again. "The power of the Oracle is already at work."
"No matter where you are, your place here will be forever illuminated until you return..."
Hearing the other person's voice growing fainter, Qin Ze asked, "Are you... going to die?"
Light replied, " The Oracle has no concept of life or death; Oracle existence is solely to fulfill the original goal of the God of Creation..."
"By leaving the Holy Temple with you, I have, in a way, fulfilled the God of Creation's request."
"Thank you..."
The Oracle of Light fell completely silent.
Qin Ze could sense that it no longer existed.
Light ended its Fate, illuminating Qin Ze with its own light.
Qin Ze controlled the fading light on his body, withdrew his divine power, and allowed the Book of the Forbidden Land to pull him away.
"Brothers, let's run a dungeon!"
"Speaking of which... are we going to be wiped out in there this time?"
"Damn it! Can't you hope for something better?"
"After this dungeon is over, I'm going to give myself a proper vacation."
"Damn it, with you saying that, we're all doomed."
"A tiny Chaos, easily controlled with a single hand~"
"..."
Amidst the commotion of the clones, Qin Ze was suddenly pulled into the black dot on the Book of the Forbidden Land by an increasingly powerful pulling force.
For a moment, Qin Ze felt as if he were in a thousand-year-old icy pool, the biting cold creeping up his limbs and slowly eroding his body.
Blue Flame erupted reflexively, driving away the chill that had entered his body, but it was only temporary.
Qin Ze could clearly sense that Lan Yan was gradually becoming less and less capable.
His fingertips and toes were no longer warm at all.
And as time goes on, this "freezing" is gradually sealing his body.
Even if he activated the Source of God, he could not completely expel the chill from his body.
The Dharma King grumbled, "No way, we're already dying after just coming in?"
Qin Ze said irritably, "Shut your mouth."
He immediately looked around and found himself in endless, colorful darkness.
The main body is empty and vast, like a barrier shrouding the forbidden land, or like the darkness on the Book of the Forbidden Land.
Every now and then, large clusters of dazzling starlight would twinkle, sometimes even flying right past Qin Ze's face.
He reached out to touch it, but his fingertips pierced right through it.
Soundlessness.
A powerful sense of loneliness and insignificance enveloped Qin Ze.
Feeling a sense of shared experience, the Mist Lord shuddered. "What the hell kind of place is this?"
A Bing said, "Wasn't it you who chose this Chaos?"
The Magician couldn't wait. "How about I use a Skill of the God to break the deadlock first?"
The Mist Lord said sternly, "I will definitely cut off your hand before you draw a card."
Qin Ze noticed that his body occasionally emitted a faint white fluorescent light.
Not far behind him, there was a white light that only he could see; it was the Book of the Forbidden Land marked by the Oracle of Light.
The two beams of light echoed each other, as if a thread tightly bound the two ends together.
Qin Ze was temporarily relieved; the power of light was still at work.
He immediately picked up the bracelet the clan chief had given him. "Now it's time to get down to business."
The bracelet formed a compass in Qin Ze's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, guiding him in the direction to find Zi Yue.
The icy sensation had already crept onto Qin Ze's fingernails. He dared not delay and hurriedly fled in the direction indicated by the bracelet.
Bang--
Qin Ze had only rushed less than a hundred meters when he suddenly crashed into a dark wall.
He rubbed his forehead. "There's a wall I can't break through?"
He almost bumped his head, but the wall didn't budge.
Qin Ze reached out and touched it; it was ice-cold.
"This..."
When he got a close look at the wall in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp.
It wasn't a wall; it was a fingernail, larger than a person, sharp and radiating a chilling killing intent.
