"Second, the Nether Demon Realm possesses a creation god at the pinnacle level."
These two points alone caused Ye Yun's expression to change slightly.
"Two months, that's too short..."
He wasn't even sure if he could break through to the Creation God realm within two months.
On the scale of the Great Thousand World, this timeframe was incredibly tight.
"Indeed, it's too short," Shen Qing sighed softly, a hint of regret in her voice.
Ye Yun frowned and asked, "What about you? What are your plans?"
"I'm considering detaching the Divine Dome Realm from the Great Thousand World."
Ye Yun was astonished by this statement.
"What do you mean by that?"
"You can understand it as exiling the Divine Dome Realm to the outside, so it won't be invaded."
Shen Qing stated calmly.
"With my own body, until my origin is exhausted, I can probably protect the Divine Dome Realm for a hundred million years."
After hearing this, Ye Yun frowned.
"You want to run away?"
"Something like that."
Shen Qing did not deny his interpretation.
"As a Star Lord, I cannot risk the lives of all my citizens with me."
"The Nether Demon Realm is dangerous, and the Ancient Demon Race is also watching. Among them, there must be a creation god who has truly reached supreme perfection."
Clearly, she had deemed the Great Thousand World unsalvageable. It was better to sacrifice herself to give the Divine Dome Realm another hundred million years. Once exiled from the Great Thousand World, no matter how powerful an existence, they would never be able to find the Divine Dome Realm in the truly boundless void. However, Ye Yun saw this choice as an act of avoidance.
Ye Yun took a deep breath and said, "I have some confidence in dealing with the Nether Demon Realm!"
Shen Qing replied indifferently.
"Why should I believe you? Although your progress is rapid, can you reach the pinnacle creation realm in such a short time?"
This wasn't about breaking through to the Creation God realm, but about surpassing a level she herself had not reached in countless years.
Ye Yun paused for a moment, then slowly asked, "Has Star Lord Shen ever heard of Chaotic Supreme Treasures?"
Upon hearing this term, a ripple was visibly apparent on Shen Qing's usually calm face. She looked at him in surprise and asked,
"How is that possible? Are you saying that a Chaotic Supreme Treasure is with you?"
This was something she had only heard of, a congenital supreme treasure born at the very beginning of the Great Thousand World's creation. Whoever possessed it would achieve the highest divine status in the future. But over the years, no one had truly seen it, nor had they heard much about it...
Ye Yun shrugged and said with a light smile,
"Naturally, it's with me, but for certain reasons, I really can't show it to you."
"However, you should understand that without a treasure of this level, how could someone reach my current state, so close to the creation realm, so quickly?"
Indeed, Shen Qing had found it somewhat strange before. But hearing that a Chaotic Supreme Treasure was with him made everything seem to make sense.
"This..."
Now, Shen Qing fell into hesitation. Ye Yun, with a smile, continued,
"I don't think Star Lord Shen wants the Great Thousand World, where you've lived for so long, to become their world, right?"
These words seemed to sway Shen Qing. She pondered for a long time, and finally asked,
"Do you think you can reach the level of a creation god within two months?"
"I can only say, as quickly as possible..."
Ye Yun did not make any promises he couldn't keep, as that would be a great embarrassment.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qing fell into deep thought. Honestly, if there were a chance, she certainly wouldn't want to escape. After considering various factors, she finally sighed and said,
"Alright, I can promise you at most that I will prepare for the upcoming battle."
"But..."
At this point, her tone shifted.
"At the same time, I will also prepare the detachment ritual. If you fail to reach the creation god level before then, I will still proceed with my original plan to leave."
Ultimately, she chose to implement both methods simultaneously. Even so, Ye Yun was very satisfied.
"Fine, then it's settled. I will break through to the Creation God realm as soon as possible!"
As his words fell, he stood up.
"No more idle talk, I'm going back to cultivate."
With only two months left, not a single moment could be wasted. Shen Qing did not try to keep him. Just before he left, she tossed a delicate small tower towards him.
"Uh, what is this..."
Ye Yun looked at her in confusion. She continued to sip her tea and said indifferently,
"This is the Tower of Time and Space. It allows the soul to enter and cultivate with a time difference of one thousand to one. A thousand years inside is about one year outside."
"Its limit is a thousand years of internal cultivation. It has only one use left. Consider it my final help to you."
Hearing her description, Ye Yun's eyes lit up. This was an extraordinary item! Now he understood why Shen Qing was so formidable. It turned out she also possessed such a heaven-defying treasure! He immediately expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Star Lord Shen. I won't disappoint you." With that, he turned and left.
Watching his departing back, Shen Qing sighed after a long time.
"Is this guy truly the so-called person of destiny..."
But whether he was or not, she could only choose to believe him now. If there was any chance of turning things around, she wouldn't want to face death.
...
After leaving the Divine Dome Realm, Ye Yun did not return directly to the Celestial Realm but first went to the Heavenly Tide Realm. Upon arriving, he relayed the intelligence he obtained from Shen Qing, word for word. Afterward, he took Xue Mian back to the Celestial Realm himself, while the Demon Lord remained to oversee the final preparations for war. Although the Myriad World Alliance might not be of much help if a real battle broke out, sometimes, it's by doing the impossible that one finds a glimmer of hope in despair! Bringing Xue Mian to the Celestial Realm was primarily for her to safeguard the location and to oversee the Celestial Realm together with Feng Qingxian. Ye Yun, meanwhile, was preparing to go into seclusion. As for Lin Xueyan and the other nine, they were all brought into his disciple space to make breakthroughs.
Inside Chaofeng Mountain.
Ye Yun sought out Xing Wu, intending to do something important. Without much preamble, after explaining the time of the Nether Demon Realm's full-scale attack, the potential dangers, and Shen Qing's subsequent plans, he immediately handed over the Tower of Time and Space he had previously received.
"Why are you giving me such a treasure? You need it more, don't you?"
Xing Wu was stunned after understanding the item's use. Ye Yun shook his head and said with a smile,
"That, you'll know when you accept it."
"Ah?"
Xing Wu was confused, but seeing his confident expression, she still accepted it with a nod. At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Ye Yun's mind.
[You have bestowed the Tower of Time and Space upon your Dao companion, activating the Million Times Return. Congratulations on obtaining the Tower of Spirit of Time!]
[Tower of Spirit of Time: A supreme treasure projected from time. It can increase cultivation speed by one hundred thousand times. It can be used for a maximum of one hundred thousand years of cultivation time. Note: This is a one-time use treasure.]
This time, Ye Yun did not keep it a secret. He directly brought out the Tower of Spirit of Time. From Xing Wu's perspective, the moment she accepted the Tower of Time and Space, another, even more profound-looking delicate tower appeared in Ye Yun's hand.
"What... what is happening?!"
Xing Wu was astonished. By now, the constraints of the Chaotic Supreme Treasure regarding Ye Yun's disclosure had lifted. Ye Yun smiled and slowly said, "It's like this..." He explained the function of the Chaotic Supreme Treasure, including the concept of returns, to Xing Wu.
After listening, even the calm Xing Wu's expression became somewhat extraordinary.
"Your... this effect is too heaven-defying! You've had it since the Profound Heaven Continent?"
"Yes, I'm sorry I kept it from you for so long. It was really inconvenient to say before."
Ye Yun spread his hands, explaining with a hint of helplessness.
"Wife, do you think I was hypocritical before?"
Now Xing Wu understood why Ye Yun had done so many things that defied logic and why his progress had been so exaggerated. It turned out there was such a reason... Before, his cultivation speed was even faster than his recovery speed. After the surprise, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's about actions, not intentions. What's hypocritical about it? Besides..." Xing Wu rubbed her belly and snorted. "Now that things are like this, there's no need to talk about that anymore, right?"
