Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Securing the Divine Cultivation Treasure, the Future Empress Enters the Cocoon! (Please Follow)

*Why would this Magma Sea Beast from the deep trench also recognize Jiang Xue’an as its ancestor?*

*Something guarded for generations, just handed over this easily?*

*Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Qingcheng all had a ton of questions in their hearts.*

The Magma King Beast said respectfully, "Ancestor, the Dark God is right at the bottom of the palace, I’ll open the seal for you, you can get it yourself,"

"I couldn’t get near the Dark God, if I forced it, it’d be life-threatening,"

Right after it finished speaking, its gigantic body, thousands of meters long, shrank down to about two meters, becoming a mini Magma King Beast. It took off with the fair-skinned Jiang Xue’an—who was only wearing frilly lace panties—heading for the bottom of the palace.

Above them, patrol squads of magma beasts stood guard on each side of the palace, continuing their rounds.

Jiang Xue’an strolled along, taking in the majestic, ancient palace. She asked curiously, "Why doesn’t your Magma Sea Beast tribe ever come out, always staying here in the deep trenches?"

"All the thousands of Sea Beasts on Blue Star have never met you guys,"

The Magma King Beast explained, "This place was the most suitable for us Magma Sea Beasts to survive, the best for our training,"

"Plus, our family rules said we couldn’t leave the trench—we had to guard the Dark God for generations, and only after our mission was completed could we come out,"

Two minutes later, the Magma King Beast and Jiang Xue’an arrived at the palace’s bottom.

Up ahead, layers of seals barred the way.

Through those seals, Jiang Xue’an could vaguely make out a crystal.

Even with the seals in place, the soul rule power of the Dark God couldn’t be contained—it seeped out, filling the whole bottom of the palace.

Bathed in that soul rule power, Jiang Xue’an instantly felt refreshed all over, her mind cleared, her spirits soared.

The Magma King Beast unleashed a profound force from its body, blasting the seal.

The layers of seals melted away, just like locks turning as the key slid in, gradually vanishing until the true form of the Dark God was fully revealed.

Jiang Xue’an looked and saw a green crystal, floating in midair and glowing eerily.

"Is this a soul-type Rule Crystal?" Jiang Xue’an frowned.

The Magma King Beast shook its head, "It’s not a Rule Fragment Crystal. As for what it is, I actually don’t know. You’ll have to get it yourself,"

"I won’t get close to it. I physically can’t,"

Jiang Xue’an nodded, walking toward it step by step. But just at the critical moment, she seemed to sense some enormous terror, and her body shot back, darting to the Magma King Beast’s side in a flash.

Staring in shock, Jiang Xue’an still hadn’t calmed her frightened heart, and said, "I can’t get close to it either,"

The Magma King Beast was taken aback.

It asked, bewildered, "My old fossil always said the Dark God’s owner would come for it in the future, so how come you can’t approach it either?"

The Magma King Beast grew a little agitated, "We’ve Magma Sea Beasts guarded this thing for twenty thousand years. You take it, we’re finally done, but now you say you can’t even take it?"

Jiang Xue’an scratched her head awkwardly, and said, "It’s no big deal, I’ll come up with something,"

She called out to the Bronze Hall,

"Boss, Boss Lady, what do we do?"

A blue Light Gate appeared. Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Qingcheng emerged.

Qingcheng was being carried by Xiao Ye, the two stuck together.

Xiao Ye frowned, "Well, that’s a problem,"

Suddenly, Qingcheng spoke up, "Let me get it. It feels like it’s calling to me,"

So, Qingcheng slipped from Xiao Ye’s arms and walked toward the Dark God, one step at a time.

The Magma King Beast moved to block her, but Jiang Xue’an stopped it, "That’s my Boss Lady—let her do it,"

The Magma King Beast nodded.

Qingcheng walked closer and closer to the Dark God, and the call in her mind grew more and more intense.

With everyone watching, she moved right up to the Dark God, like there were no obstacles at all—it was easy.

The green crystal suddenly began to hum and vibrate.

With a swoosh, it shot straight into Qingcheng’s Sea of Spirit and then, on its own, burrowed right into the Treasure of Space-Time at the center of her Sea of Spirit, merging into the transparent, slumbering future version of Qingcheng’s divine soul.

In her sleep, future Qingcheng’s tightly knit brows relaxed; her transparent divine soul grew solid, no longer see-through.

Layer upon layer of soul cocoons formed around future Qingcheng’s divine soul, wrapping her up inside.

Qingcheng was overjoyed and shouted in her mind, "Old Gu, how are you?"

She called out several times, but got no answer at all.

After a long while, she just stood there, lost. She had no idea what to do next.

Seeing the Dark God slip into Qingcheng’s body of its own will, the Magma King Beast’s frustration instantly vanished, and it said with a laugh,

"Hahahaha! Today, we Magma Sea Beasts, we’ve finally completed our mission!"

"I declare, we Magma Sea Beasts, are coming out!"

"We return to Blue Star!"

"Twenty thousand years! We’ve guarded this damn place for twenty thousand years, always holed up where not even birds shit—finally, we Magma Sea Beasts are free,"

It was over the moon.

It roared with laughter, and only after did it notice everyone looking at it like it was nuts.

The Magma King Beast coughed, and said, "Ancestor, doesn’t matter where a Magma King Beast is, we’ll always recognize you,"

Xiao Ye and Ziran walked over to Qingcheng’s side.

"Qingcheng, has your divine soul restored? How is it working?"

Qingcheng frowned and said, "Not enough, it’s still not fully restored,"

She examined the state of the future Qingcheng’s divine soul—cocooning up, soul cocoon, still needed loads of divine soul power feeding in, and only when future Qingcheng broke out of the cocoon would it be done.

Qingcheng grew anxious. She only had one day left before her body would explode and kill her.

She desperately needed future Qingcheng to wake up and tell her the solution. If Old Gu had to break out naturally, who knew how freaking long that would take—a year, half a year, or five, ten?

Xiao Ye chuckled, "Then let’s keep going and go after the other two Dark Gods,"

Ziran mused, "I suspect that Dark God is actually you from the future, left here twenty thousand years ago, just for you,"

"As for why the Magma King Beast would call Xiaonannan its ancestor, maybe twenty thousand years ago, future Xiao Ye left a mind brand on this planet—every creature born here gets one,"

"Of course, that’s just my guess. We’ll have to verify it,"

Qingcheng suddenly understood and said, "Yeah, that’s probably spot on,"

The Magma King Beast spoke up, "Ancestor, everyone, I know where the other two Dark Gods are. I know the Beast Kings guarding them, too. How about I lead the way?"

Jiang Xue’an’s eyes lit up, "Hell yeah! Show us now,"

"But didn’t you say you never left here? How’d you meet those Beast Kings?"

The Magma King Beast’s beast face flushed red. A little embarrassed, it said, "Heh, it’s stuffy in here, so I snuck out a couple times,"

It ripped open a space rift and jumped in.

Xiao Ye and the crew got back into the Bronze Hall. Jiang Xue’an hugged the Bronze Hall to her chest and went in after them.

Inside the Bronze Hall, Xiao Ye could see Jiang Xue’an’s enormous, jiggling peaks all squished together. He gulped.

Qingcheng saw this, and glanced down at her own chest.

*For some reason, she felt a little annoyed inside,*

So she slumped back onto Xiao Ye, gluing herself to him, face bright red. "Sorry, I’m still a bit weak, can’t stand straight,"

Ziran giggled and clapped in delight.
