C1500 The Confidence of Youyu

Senior Brother Zhong Chichen, being a Space-time Dragon from ancient times, had no choice but to depart once he awoke.

He was distinctly different from Youyu.

Youyu, one of the leaders of the Ghost Wizard Sect, had allied with the Divine Soul Sect and the ancient Fey to combat the Nagas.

The demise of Youyu and the fall of the Ghost Wizard Sect were reluctant decisions made by all involved.

Thus, neither Youyu nor the Ghost Wizard Sect had ever harmed the Divine Soul Sect in those ancient times.

They even stepped aside for the human race's champions, clearing the way for the upper sects to claim two exalted divine positions.

Clearly, it was the human race and the ancient Fey who were indebted to the Ghost Wizard Sect and Youyu.

Zhong Chichen's former self was the Colorful Divine Dragon, a master of the mysteries of space and time.

Throughout the years of fierce battles between all living creatures and the Nagas, countless lives were lost to the Colorful Divine Dragon.

Ancient demons, numerous human powerhouses, and elite members of the Divine Soul Sect all fell to his wrath.

The revelation of his awakening would undoubtedly cause upheaval if discovered by the various factions.

Already considered a common foe, he would likely face a united front against him. Remaining here, not yet having attained the Primordial Spirit, was far too perilous.

Thus, fleeing to the Outer Star River was indeed his best option.

He could also seize the chance to assimilate Rovi's remains, refine Rovi's residual blood, and uncover the hidden star river once claimed by Rovi.

"Ancestor, are you really going to abandon me?" Loong Jie, now in human form, stood next to Yu Yuan, his demeanor tinged with loss and melancholy.

He had believed the Space-time Dragon had fled alone...

Upon learning that Zhong Chichen was the Space-time Dragon, he envisioned a resurgence of the Dragon God's era, anticipating the swift return of a resplendent Dragon God to the heavens and earth.

But in a fleeting daze, before he could grasp what was happening, the Space-time Dragon had already made a swift and decisive departure.

"He didn't abandon you; he did it for your own good and for the welfare of the entire Naga community."

Yu Yuan suddenly grasped his senior brother's intentions, realizing that his departure was actually to create more opportunities for the Nagas.

It was to prevent Loong Jie and the rest from enduring another catastrophic setback before they had a chance to fully develop.

Loong Jie and the current generation of Nagas were newcomers in the aftermath of ancient times.

They had never tormented the vast expanse, nor had they fought against the Divine Soul Sect, Ghost Wizard Sect, Earth Demons, or the ancient demon clans, who are now the allies and kin of the human race's supreme beings.

That's why the Nagas have managed to survive.

Though it's been a survival marked by long-standing oppression and suppression.

Still, the Nagas have persisted and have not been wiped out.

As long as they are not extinct, there is hope!

Now, with the ban on the Nagas lifted, the clan, after tens of thousands of years, has finally glimpsed a dawn of hope. Inside the Dragon Slash Platform, a young Titan Spinosaurus has even been nurtured!

His senior brother saw the potential for the Nagas to rise again, which is why he made the decisive choice to leave.

As a Space-time Dragon, his activities in the vastness would inevitably draw intense scrutiny from various powers, potentially bringing trouble to the Nagas.

Moreover, it might even reveal the great secret hidden within the Dragon Slash Platform.

Only by his departure could the Nagas have the chance to embrace a bright new future.

"Youyu..."

Huangyin and the refined Earth Demon from the wooden tombstone joined Youyu and Yuen Qingxi.

The two ancient Earth Demons, at their wits' end after learning of Rovi's death and Xuanying's disappearance, sought guidance from him.

For Youyu, one of the Ghost Wizard Sect's leaders, had truly awakened.

And he had painted a picture that was both exhilarating and heart-stirring!

"Will you heed my advice?"

Youyu, with a detached demeanor, held the cylindrical scroll and regarded Huangyin and the familiar ancient Earth Demon.

"You have ascended to the highest echelons, reaching a level of supreme ghost god that no soul or creature has ever achieved, and you are truly awake. So, we seek your perspective. We wish to know, what path should our Earth Demon Clan take?"

The ancient Devil Soul, with her graceful posture and delicate features, emerged from the tombstone as a gesture of respect. She stood on the edge of the tombstone and bowed to Youyu earnestly.

"Xuanying, along with Rovi's body, was taken to the heavens by the Colorful Divine Dragon. I cannot ascertain Xuanying's fate, nor can I offer assistance. She chose to align herself with Rovi, and whatever her outcome, it is of her own making and she cannot blame others," Youyu stated his position on the matter first.

Subsequently, he glanced at Yu Yuan, who was conversing with Loong Jie, and fell into contemplation. The two ancient Earth Demons, as well as Yuen Qingxi, were still baffled as to why Yu Yuan remained among the living. They were perplexed as to why Yu Yuan, the current master of the Dragon Slash Platform, had not been slain by Youyu.

Noticing Youyu's gaze on Yu Yuan, the faces of Yuen Qingxi and the Earth Demons darkened.

"Him!" Youyu pointed at Yu Yuan and declared, "He will engage in talks with the Divine Soul Sect and the Babel Chamber of Commerce. He will acknowledge the esteemed status of our Ghost Wizard Sect in the Boundless Great World. He will be the one to restore our glory! We are, after all, the valiant warriors and trailblazers of the Boundless Great World!"

Youyu's proclamation stirred the spirits of all who heard it. Yet, there was a sense of disbelief...

"Him?"

"Yu Yuan?"

Yuen Qingxi, along with others like Tan Junshan and Chen Liangquan, were astonished by Youyu's pronouncement. Could Yu Yuan truly wield such influence? And when had he ever agreed to such a thing? They were all at a loss.

It was commonly believed that even though Yu Yuan held the reins of the Dragon Slash Platform, he was merely a junior member of the Divine Soul Sect. Could such a green, fortunate youth possess the clout to secure the consent of other Divine Kings within the Divine Soul Sect?

Amidst the scrutiny of the crowd, Yu Yuan nodded gravely and affirmed, "I will facilitate communication."

"Is he up to the task?" Yuen Qingxi voiced his skepticism.

Youyu did not directly address the doubt. Instead, he turned to Huangyin and the Earth Demon on the tombstone and advised, "What you can do is wait with patience in the Foul World beneath us."

"Wait for what?" Huangyin asked, puzzled.

"Wait for a new supreme seat to become available. Compete for it on your own merit," Youyu replied calmly. "I promise..."

He gazed at the sky, as though addressing Zu Ann and the rest of the onlookers.

"None who hail from the Boundless Great World and ascend to the highest echelons are to enter the underground realm to slay the Earth Demons. Those who dare tread below will become my sworn enemies, engaged in a battle to the death."

"Youyu!"

"The white skeleton is actually him!"

Zu Ann and the Desolate God were taken aback once more.

Both Zu Ann, well-versed in ancient lore, and the Desolate God recognized the name Youyu.

The man and the ape, upon hearing the white skeleton declare himself as Youyu, pondered for a moment and found themselves unsurprised.

"It all makes sense now."

The Desolate God let out a sigh and nodded. "To be frank, all the sects and powers in the Boundless Great World truly owe them. Youyu's demands seem quite reasonable to me."

"He holds sway over Horror Land and the Foul World, and with the backing of the Yin Meridian's source, he certainly has the grounds for such confidence," Zu Ann concurred.

Both were acutely aware of Youyu's exceptional strength and uniqueness.

Moreover, it appeared that Youyu had just slain Rovi...

"I've said my piece. Whether you heed my words is for you to decide."

With that, Youyu turned his attention to Yu Yuan, "I must return to Horror Land to assimilate Rovi's soul and uncover the secrets tied to the Chaos Abyss. I believe not only I but all the supreme beings of the Boundless Great World are eager to unravel the mysteries of the abyss that Rovi sought to explore..."

"Perhaps our next encounter will be at that very council."

With a gentle tap, Youyu made the scroll in his grasp vanish.

Whoosh!

In an instant, he connected with the Yin Meridian's source and departed from the Foul World, heading directly to Horror Land.
