"I'm afraid I don't have the energy to deal with matters related to the Yin-Yang Divine Contract for the time being. I must return to the other side of the starry sky!"
Ye Chen said.
The Goddess Yang also understood that the other side of the starry sky was now facing the calamity of the abyss, and only Ye Chen could solve it.
"Unfortunately, I can't help you."
The female deity stepped forward and gently stroked Ye Chen's face, looking rather apologetic.
She did want to go with Ye Xingcai to help Ye Chen, but being in the Holy Light Oath Hall, she had no choice but to comply.
"It's alright, Sister Yangshen, you've already helped me so much," Ye Chen said.
The female deity hummed in agreement, cupped Ye Chen's face, and took the initiative to kiss him.
Ye Chen's desire was ignited by her, and he was about to take things further when she stepped back and said:
“You should leave, Lord of Reincarnation. The three elders have already expressed their dissatisfaction with you. If you stay any longer, I will have a hard time explaining to the Holy Light Oath Hall. At that time, I am afraid I will not be able to protect you.”
She had just kissed Ye Chen, then turned and told him to leave. Ye Chen felt his heart burning with rage, thinking:
"Is she deliberately testing me?"
But at this juncture, it was indeed time for him to leave.
Ye Chen wanted to see Ye Xingcai one more time to say goodbye, but it probably wasn't convenient, so he looked at the Female Yang Goddess and said:
"Okay, I'll be going now, Sister Yangshen."
The female deity said, "Hmm." A playful smile then appeared on her face.
"Never forget the taste of blasphemy."
Ye Chen shuddered, afraid that if he stayed any longer, his Dao heart would truly be swayed. Without saying anything more, he turned and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the sky of the Sun District.
He didn't even dare to look back, flying all the way out of the Sunshine District and soon reaching the outside world.
As soon as he flew out of the Sun Zone, Ye Chen keenly sensed that the atmosphere between heaven and earth had become unusually strange.
A fierce and violent hostility converged from all directions, like invisible blades, locking onto his body.
That hostility was mixed with the unique aura of Void Market.
Clearly, news of Luo Haifu's death has reached the Void Market. The First Tyrant's framing has worked, and the Void Market has officially issued an arrest warrant to hunt down this murderer who "stole the Yin-Yang Remnant Contract and killed Luo Haifu."
"It seems I have truly been wronged."
"However, now is not the time to explain ourselves. It's more important to go back to the other side of the starry sky."
Ye Chen's gaze sharpened, and he activated the Heaven-Deceiving Talisman to conceal his aura. Without pausing, he summoned the Abyss Kun's skeleton and rode away on it.
As we drove away from the Sunday district and passed over the Monday district, a strange aura, like moonlight or flowing light, quietly spread over us.
Within the Reincarnation Graveyard within his body, the long-sealed tombstone of the Illusionary Moon Goddess suddenly trembled violently, and beams of cold moonlight spilled out from the tombstone, echoing the aura emanating from the Moonlit Zone.
"Hmm? This aura?"
"Is that the aura of the Moon Goddess? So, the Moon Goddess is related to the Moonlit District?"
Sensing this resonance, Ye Chen instantly deduced that the Goddess of Illusionary Moon must be related to the Moonlit District.
He felt an urge to investigate, but then he thought that with the impending calamity of the Abyss, he simply didn't have the extra energy to go to the Moonlit District to find out the truth.
If we go there rashly, we may not only fall into a new crisis, but also delay the opportunity to resolve the calamity of the abyss.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, sighed, and softly comforted the tombstone of the Illusionary Moon Goddess in the Reincarnation Graveyard:
"Goddess, I apologize. The Abyss is currently raging, and I am temporarily unable to travel to the Moonlit District to explore your secrets. Once I have resolved the calamity of the Abyss, I will return to help you return to the world!"
Ye Chen remembered experiencing similar scenes and words at the Tomb of the Moon God.
The Tomb of the Moon God hides the secrets of the Goddess of Wishes.
The Moonlit District holds the secret of the Moon Goddess!
After Ye Chen finished speaking, the tremors of the Moon Goddess's tombstone gradually subsided, and the cold moonlight slowly receded, merging back into the tombstone.
Ye Chen felt relieved and, without further hesitation, activated the Abyss Kun's skeleton, quickly flying out of the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea.
After leaving the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea, Ye Chen abandoned the flying boat and transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the other side of the starry sky.
This trip to the Nine Luminaries Burning Star Sea was extremely dangerous. Ye Chen was on the verge of death several times, but he also gained tremendous rewards.
Having acquired the Eternal Night Flame, it devoured the divine freedom that Emperor Golden Feather had cultivated throughout his life, and even set foot on the path of the Tower of Radiance.
However, Ren Feifan's fate is uncertain after infiltrating the Divine Tomb, the First Tyrant is eyeing him with the "Yin Yang Remnant Contract," and the Void Market is searching the world for him as a "scapegoat." But the most pressing issue is the abyss that is capable of swallowing the other side of the starry sky.
As Ye Chen flew, the starry sea surged with undercurrents and the void roared, but all of this was gently blocked by the faint holy light and spiritual energy around him.
This is the blessing of the goddess of the sun, like the bright moon hanging in the sky, its clear light shining everywhere.
With this blessing, Ye Chen encountered no accidents along the way, and with the help of spatial magic, he returned smoothly to the other side of the starry sky.
After passing through the world barrier, Ye Chen saw the familiar outline of the starry sky and heavens.
Beyond the starry sky, the vast expanse remained, but Ye Chen's heart sank at the sight.
The starry sky... was darker than when he left.
It wasn't the darkness of nightfall, but a deathly stillness emanating from the very core, as if the heavens and earth were being tightly covered by an invisible hand, preventing even sunlight from penetrating.
High above, layers of dark fog hung thick and impenetrable.
A sense of oppression and suffocation kept coming from within.
Ye Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he had already discerned most of the truth.
Although the abyss was sealed, it was violently erupting, frantically releasing dark energy.
Ye Chen faintly sensed a peculiar aura.
It is... the aura of blasphemy.
"Could it be that... the Abyss has sensed me and the Goddess of the Sun?"
Ye Chen's lips twitched. The female Yang Goddess was the wife of the Yin God of the Abyss, the white moonlight to whom the Yin God had placed countless beautiful wishes.
Ye Chen, however, had a blasphemous relationship with the Goddess of the Sun.
If the Yin spirit senses this, it will surely be enraged, and the aura of the abyss will also go berserk.
Ye Chen sensed that the Black Queen Mother's lair, the Black Abyss Domain, had been destroyed.
However, the destruction of the Black Abyss Domain did not lessen the darkness in the world; on the contrary, it became even more intense, clearly indicating that the abyss was wreaking havoc.
Ye Chen speculated that the underlying reason was inextricably linked to the word "blasphemy".
The Abyss has gone completely mad...
Ye Chen shook his head, suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart. With a flash, he headed directly towards the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect.
He and the female sun goddess's blasphemous path must not be abandoned; it will be useful in the future against the Primordial Beginning, making it a very important trump card.
Before long, Ye Chen landed at the Yin Yang Divine Path Sect.
Above the sect, layers upon layers of protective arrays had already been set up, their spiritual light flickering, yet under the encroachment of the boundless darkness, they trembled slightly, their light shining intermittently, as if they might be extinguished at any moment.
As soon as Ye Chen approached, a crack automatically appeared in the sect's grand formation.
The disciple guarding the formation was startled when he saw the familiar figure, then overjoyed, his voice trembling with excitement:
"It's...it's the Lord of Reincarnation! The Lord of Reincarnation has returned!"
"The Lord of Reincarnation has returned! We are saved!"
The heavens shook, and the news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Yin Yang Divine Path Sect in an instant.
As soon as Ye Chen stepped into the main peak where the sect's main hall was located, he felt a series of extremely familiar auras flying towards him.
However, the goddesses of beauty, Mirror Flow Immortal Venerable, Feng Qingxue, Su Yunli, Ji Siqing, Xia Ruoxue, and Xiyue, all rushed over after sensing Ye Chen's return.
Xi Yue and Ye Chen share the divine power of time and space, so she also possesses spatial magic, which can help everyone travel and communicate quickly.
The women were led by the Goddess of Beauty, who was dressed in white and had a dignified and elegant demeanor, but her eyes held an unyielding worry.
"Ye Chen...you're finally back."
The goddess breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw Ye Chen.
Thank goodness, seeing that Ye Chen was unharmed and even surrounded by holy light, it was clear that his trip to the outside world had gone unimpeded and that he had obtained many opportunities.
The women ran to Ye Chen's side, their eyes fixed on him, filled with worry, joy, and concern. They had so much to say, yet for a moment they were speechless.
Looking at the familiar faces before him, Ye Chen felt all the weariness and resentment that had accumulated along the way vanish instantly.
He went home.
"I'm back……"
Ye Chen spoke softly, and those four simple words almost brought the women to tears.
Ye Chen embraced them, his gaze fixed on the center of the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect.
That pitch-black, colossal pillar in the abyss was truly terrifying to look at.
"Let's go take a look..."
Ye Chen didn't linger in the gentle embrace for too long; he flew away with the women.
Around the giant pillar in the abyss, three figures sat quietly, their auras deep and concentrated, yet they could not hide a trace of fatigue and pallor.
It is none other than the Heavenly Question Ancestor, the Listening to the Dark Ancestor, and the Primordial Ances
The three patriarchs are the pillars of the other side of the starry sky. They have always resisted the erosion of the abyss with their own Dao foundation and forcibly suppressed the dark aura leaking out after the abyss riot.
At this moment, the giant pillar in the abyss has developed cracks, and a lot of dark source matter is slowly seeping out.
Tianwen, Tingyou, and Yuanzu endured the onslaught, their faces ashen, their spiritual energy chaotic, clearly at their limit.
"It seems I almost caused a major disaster..."
Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He scanned the giant pillar in the abyss with his divine sense and could vaguely detect a violent rage.
That was clearly the wrath of the underworld spirits.
Outraged by Ye Chen's blasphemy!
Fortunately, the Heavenly Mother sacrificed herself, and Ye Chen desperately used the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Dao Seal. Although the seal has loosened, it still has a powerful binding force.
The chains of yin and yang still bound that pillar in the abyss.
Ye Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that a major disaster had not yet occurred.
Upon seeing Ye Chen's return, Ancestor Tianwen slowly opened his eyes:
"Lord of Reincarnation, you've finally returned."
"The abyss suddenly erupted, as if it had gone mad, and the three of us... were almost unable to suppress it."
"Uh..." Ye Chen felt a little guilty because his blasphemy almost caused a disaster.
Ancestor Tingyou also sighed softly, his gaze fixed on the colossal black pillar that pierced the heavens and earth, his expression extremely solemn:
"Look at that colossal pillar in the abyss; it's even thicker than when you left!"
"The abyss's origins continue to surge forth, and the corrupting power erodes the laws of heaven and earth. If this continues, within a month at most, the entire other side of the starry sky will be completely corrupted, and nothing will remain."
Yuanzu closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of helplessness: "We have exhausted all our cultivation, and we can only barely hold on, but we cannot cure it at all. This abyss is no longer an ordinary disaster, but a calamity of heaven and earth."
Ye Chen and the women also wore rather solemn expressions.
That colossal pillar in the abyss stood tall and straight, as black as ink. Countless twisted and writhing filthy patterns had appeared on its surface, radiating a terrifying and suffocating pressure.
Around the giant pillar, the void continuously collapsed, reformed, and collapsed again, with each fluctuation releasing massive amounts of dark filth.
That is a symbol of despair.
It is a harbinger of destruction.
The goddesses, Feng Qingxue, and Jingliu Immortal Venerable, among others, felt a heavy weight in their hearts as they looked at the giant pillar.
Their cultivation was not weak, but they still seemed somewhat insignificant in the face of such a cataclysmic event.
Even the goddess of beauty could not resist the abyssal darkness that had descended into madness and chaos.
The hopes of the entire Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect, and even the entire Samsara camp, rested on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn't waste any words, he simply took a step forward.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
"Leave the rest to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen's aura suddenly changed.
It is no longer the domineering and aggressive type it once was, but it carries an even greater deterrent force than before.
It still possesses the supreme majesty of the Lord of Reincarnation and the ruthless confidence of a tyrant, but it also adds a touch of gentleness, depth, inclusiveness, and compassion for saving the world.
This aura is a symbiosis of dominance and compassion, a unity of killing and protection, a perfect blend of strength and gentleness, and awe-inspiring throughout the world.
That is the way of the sage.
"I am a saint."
"I should become a saint!"
Ye Chen didn't speak, but everyone could hear his voice coming from the depths of his soul.
Ye Chen wants to be a saint, to be the saint of the day.
He is neither a high and mighty Heavenly Emperor who disregards all living beings, nor a tyrant who sweeps away everything and is bloodthirsty.
His way is the way of the sage.
Concealing the overwhelming power of thunder, possessing a compassionate heart, wielding the sword of slaughter, and fulfilling the responsibility of protection.
It is to save the world from collapse, to rescue the chaotic world from ruin, to protect all living beings from peril, and to keep relatives and friends by one's side.
It possesses both the absolute domineering power to suppress the abyss with a wave of the hand and slay demons with a sword, and the tender compassion to bear the suffering of all living beings and to avoid hurting its relatives and friends.
With domineering spirit as his blade and compassion as his heart, this is his unique path to sainthood.
Ye Chen had long ago decided to become a saint, to sweep away the filth of the old world, and to establish a perfect new world.
This time, his resolve to follow the Dao became even stronger, and his understanding of the Dao of the Sage became even clearer.
He accepts those who are willing to follow him.
He respects those who don't approve of him; that's what makes a saint—not an emperor, but a sage!
More than saving this vast world, what he cared about was never some vague and ethereal righteousness, but rather the living, breathing people before him.
His original aspiration had now been fully established, and it could be summed up in four words:
Protect my love!
