The giant octopus is clearly very strong, but it's too conservative.
If it had gone all out, if its true form hadn't been hiding underground but had joined the battle from the start, the outcome would have been uncertain.
The Mist Lord said calmly, "Otherwise, how do you think it has survived until now?"
The Dharma King said, "Sometimes you don't need to be stronger than your enemy, you just need to outlive them."
With the giant octopus down, Qin Ze and his group quickly reunited with the clan chief.
The clan leader looked at the ordinary clones, wondering where they had come from.
When Qin Ze entered the forbidden area, he was only accompanied by Brother Devour Heavenly King.
"A puppet I picked up from Chaos."
Qin Ze waved his hand and recalled all his clones.
The clan chief said meaningfully, "These puppets are really lifelike."
Miss Sword Case wholeheartedly agreed, "I think so too."
Everyone has their own secrets, and the clan leader did not pry into them.
Especially considering that Qin Ze's cultivation level has improved so much in just three days, he must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter in the Chaos.
Zi Liangchen then emerged from the void beside him, and after confirming that Qin Ze was unharmed, he finally felt relieved.
Seeing the Space Kid's lips trembling, looking like he was about to cry, Qin Ze quickly said, "Stop, I'm not short of water right now."
Zi Liangchen curled his lip. "What a waste of my emotions."
The beast tide was dissipating, and the group quickly and easily broke through.
No longer feeling so weak, Qin Ze jumped off Brother Devour.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yue, who was not far away, immediately pounced over.
Qin Ze skillfully reached out his right hand and pressed it against her head. "So lively and energetic already, you're in good health."
The girl's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from a recent bout of crying.
"If you don't come out, I'll find you through the forbidden area."
Miss Sword Case: "???"
Isn't this one of her lines?
Qin Ze withdrew his hand. "We're just friends, no need to be so polite."
The Tree Bearer and other Spirit Clan pretended to be on guard, but their eyes kept glancing in this direction out of the corner of their eye.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem~" The clan chief coughed a few times. "This isn't the place to talk, let's go back first."
The clan leader activated the teleportation, and everyone returned to the Spirit Clan.
Qin Ze watched with great envy.
If he learns this skill, he won't have to walk in the Abyss anymore.
The Magician interjected, "Isn't Skill of the God more useful than teleportation?"
"To be honest, if I hadn't sent everyone to the top of the beast tide, I wouldn't have been able to save that Bai Chi girl, and I wouldn't have been able to steal the Strange God's egg."
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows. "Should I thank you?"
Magician: "We're all friends, no need to be polite."
Upon returning to the Spirit Clan, the clan leader told Qin Ze to rest first and discuss matters again the next day.
Zi Yue was originally going to leave with Qin Ze, but the clan leader dragged her away.
Back at his residence, Qin Ze gathered the Soul Orb he had collected in this battle, totaling just over two hundred.
Even after Brother Devour devoured it in one gulp, it still didn't break through.
Qin Ze said helplessly, "In the end, we still have to rely on my Second Sister for this last bit of trouble."
The Brother Devour's Soul Orb consumption was far higher than that of the Dharma King and others.
He doesn't have the Magician's flashy special effects, nor does he have the Dharma King's AOE damage output.
But once Brother Devour gets close, he can make his opponent as ordinary as he is.
Qin Ze took out the Magic Conch and found that it had no luster and looked like an ordinary object.
Previously in the Chaos World, he clearly sensed an inexplicable power surrounding the Magic Conch.
Now that I've returned to the Abyss, that power has vanished.
Brother Devour said, " Echo can't contact us unilaterally through the conch shell now; we need to blow the conch shell in advance."
Qin Ze nodded. " The Abyss has shielded the power Echo from the conch shell."
After this journey through Chaos, Qin Ze felt even more strongly that the Abyss was no ordinary place.
Although the Abyss also belongs to the Sequence Chaos World, it is much larger than the Chaos World itself.
Most importantly, the Abyss can nurture civilizations just like Chaos; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a youthful version of Chaos.
The power of Echo can roam freely in the Chaos, but it cannot penetrate the Abyss.
At the same time, the Abyss does not progress as rapidly as other Chaos World; it seems to have its own unique operating program.
One more thing, the Abyss does not have a direct nebula leading to Chaos.
Or perhaps it exists, but it's sealed away.
The Abyss appears to be protected by a mysterious force, existing independently outside the Sequence the Chaos World.
Qin Ze was fortunate enough to catch the first Chaos Egg.
But what about the second and third ones?
The Chaos Strange God is slowly breaking free from its seal, and will continue to be released through Chaos Egg.
Qin Ze desperately wanted to become stronger.
"We'll set off for the Myriad Races Black Market tomorrow."
"After finding clues about the alien beast suppressed by the water-attribute flying sword, return to the Human Race."
I'm about to reach Level Nine.
After reaching Level Nine, Qin Ze gained the power to open the Hall of Stars.
The next day, the clan chief and the Divine Maiden came to visit together.
Unlike her usual lively self, Zi Yue behaved very obediently.
Aside from occasionally glancing at Qin Ze, he remained silent.
The clan chief handed Qin Ze a vibrant green leaf. "This symbolizes the highest status of the Spirit Clan."
"No matter where my people are, seeing this object is like seeing their chieftain."
Qin Ze put away the leaves, feeling that he was not far from earning the title of "good friend of the Ancient Race ".
His Dharma King: "A new achievement has been made: the friendship with the Spirit Clan has been established, and the alliance with the Spirit Clan has become close."
The clan leader said in a deep voice, "Could you tell me about Chaos? I will exchange relevant information with you in return."
Qin Ze nodded. "No problem."
He had originally planned to tell the clan chief about the resurgence of the Strange God.
With great power comes great responsibility.
It's time for the Spirit Clan to step up and take responsibility.
Qin Ze recounted his experiences in general terms, omitting the Echo and only saying that he had resolved each crisis with his own intelligence and wisdom.
The clan chief's expression turned extremely grave after hearing this, especially regarding the jade hand of the Goddess of Life.
Zi Yue never expected that the Goddess of Life, whom she had worshipped all her life, would be allied with the Strange God, and something in her heart suddenly shattered.
The clan chief said calmly, "This goddess is not that goddess."
Qin Ze frowned. "There are two Goddess of Life?"
The chieftain replied, "I only know that the true Goddess of Life is still in the Land of Origin. What you saw in the Chaos was not the true goddess."
Qin Ze asked curiously, "How do you know that the goddess from the Land of Origin has undergone a drastic personality change?"
He had been to the Land of Origin and had seen the sleeping goddess.
The feeling and aura emanating from the demonic claws were remarkably similar to those of the goddess in the temple.
The clan leader looked at Zi Yue: "Because of her."
Both Qin Ze and the girl had big question marks on their faces at the same time.
The chieftain explained, " The Divine Maiden is not Divine Maiden of the Spirit Clan, but Divine Maiden of the Goddess of Life."
"And the Divine Maiden's lineage began the moment she entered the Land of Origin."
"Whether the goddess awakens or departs from the Land of Origin, the Divine Maiden will surely sense it."
"I don't know who you encountered in the Chaos, but it certainly wasn't the Goddess of Life."
