Chapter 731: Chapter 731: The Earth Cracks, the Almighty God

"Boom... Boom..."

On Evil Island, a series of roars accompanied the scene.

The huge mountains began to shatter and collapse.

For a moment, dust billowed into the sky, making the entire island seem like it was experiencing the apocalypse.

It was only after everything had quieted down that a crack appeared on the ground.

Lin Fan, pulling Xu Zhi Rou, then emerged from it.

"Sister Meng Yao!"

After escaping danger, Xu Zhi Rou gazed in shock at the devastation before her.

Even the hundred-meter-high mountain had completely collapsed, hinting at what changes might have occurred to the Spirit Gathering Array buried deep underground.

If it weren’t for Ning Mengyao, the two of them would likely have been buried there forever.

But at the moment, she hadn’t managed to escape to safety, and as Xu Zhi Rou watched the rolling boulders, a terrible thought crossed her mind.

Was it possible that, to reassure them, Ning Mengyao had told a so-called lie about being trapped?

At this moment, she might have already been buried forever deep underground, along with the collapse of the Spirit Gathering Array.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the broken scene before him.

He had never imagined that a hasty decision of his might have doomed Ning Mengyao.

He didn’t dare to think whether her last words were true or false.

Because in that moment, for Xu Zhi Rou’s sake, he had to take her and leave.

A sorrowful emotion filled their hearts.

Unknown to them, the vines beneath their feet were silently creeping closer.

By the time Xu Zhi Rou reacted, her ankles had already been ensnared by the vines.

"Ah! What’s going on!"

Xu Zhi Rou panicked as she struggled to free herself from the attack of the vine, which moved like a spirit snake.

Frantically, she looked around her.

Lin Fan was also puzzled as he looked at the strange vine.

"How about it, my ability isn’t bad, right!"

Just as the two were bewildered, Ning Mengyao’s voice suddenly came through.

This made them look around in great confusion, yet they saw nothing.

"Stop looking, this is the voice of the heart, you won’t be able to find me, but yet I am everywhere."

Ning Mengyao’s playful voice came again: "I told you, I took over the Spirit Gathering Array, I didn’t just vanish into thin air, you could say I am now the entire island, every plant and tree under my control, I am the deity of Evil Island."

The hearty laughter of Ning Mengyao swept away the gloom in their hearts.

Meanwhile, the giant ape Wukong also came striding over in the distance.

"Meng Yao, what on earth is going on, do you really have to stay here?"

Looking at Wukong laying on the ground, Lin Fan asked worriedly.

"Of course, though it’s easy to enter the Spirit Gathering Array, it’s not so easy to leave. But once I recover to my full nine-tails form, it will be a trivial matter, so you don’t have to worry about me. With the help of the Spirit Gathering Array, I can come out quickly. Now, let Wukong take you all out."

Ning Mengyao spoke lightly, but only she knew what she had to endure.

After all, the path of cultivation is definitely not that simple, and achieving one’s full form isn’t as easy as one might imagine.

"I don’t want to leave. I want to stay here with you."

Xu Zhi Rou looked reluctantly at the scenery around her.

If they left, wouldn’t Ning Mengyao be very lonely?

"No need. Next, I will also enter a state of cultivation. I’m not certain how long it will take me to awaken, but my Divine Sense will remain with the island. If you miss me, you can come to see me, but it will be hard since you can’t see or touch me. So, it’s better to come less often. Also, I just discovered something."

Ning Mengyao paused and continued, "Originally, even if Drought was killed, his soul wouldn’t dissipate so quickly. But the moment he died just now, I felt a strange and huge power suddenly invade this place and directly strip his soul away, but where exactly it went, I do not know. Also, this method is likely not a creation of our Eastern civilization. If I had to guess, I’d say it seems like the power of Western dark magic."

"Dark magic extracted Drought’s soul!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan frowned.

This seemingly unrelated matter reminded him of someone.

That was Su Delong, who had last left using the teleportation array.

What remained was the residual aura of dark magic.

"That’s one way to understand it, but who specifically operated it and how it was done, I’m not sure. After all, my vision is limited to Evil Island. Here, I am omniscient and omnipotent, but once I leave, I can perceive nothing,"

Ning Mengyao said helplessly, "So I might not be able to help you on the journey ahead. After you leave, you must take good care of yourselves. When I transform into the nine-tails, that will be the day we meet again. Be sure to gather enough strength to wait for me."

"Alright then!"

At this point, Lin Fan had no other options.

It might not be a bad thing for Ning Mengyao to stay here for her quiet cultivation.

"Also, I want this matter to make you understand a principle: even the most rational people will do things to numb themselves in certain situations,"

Ning Mengyao’s words stirred something in Lin Fan’s heart.

"What do you mean?"

"I’m talking about Zhao Jiaqi’s previous choice. Although you said you weren’t angry, I know deep down you still resent her for it because, in your view, she left you voluntarily. But just now, you empathized with her helplessness. If I were truly buried here, you would have used the words I once said to numb yourself and avoid facing the truth. That was Zhao Jiaqi’s reason back then."

Ning Mengyao sighed and added, "We are all beings with emotions and desires, so evading is one of our natural reactions. That’s why I’m saying you should not resent her departure. Not everyone can face a body that lies there motionless. After you leave, you should go bring her back. After all, her skills are needed for the matters at Tiankong."

"I understand!"

Lin Fan sighed deeply.

He had never expected that his journey to Evil Island would instead provide a harsh lesson from Ning Mengyao.

Just now, his heart wrenching and wavering state of mind was exactly what Zhao Jiaqi had felt before.

"That’s better, my king. Don’t worry about things that have already happened. Anything we’ve done for you was done willingly. In the days to come, I can’t be by your side, but in any of your close female confidants, you’ll find my shadows, so don’t miss me too much when you’re with them, but don’t forget me either. I will always be with you!"

Ning Mengyao’s words were like a soft spring breeze, healing all of Lin Fan’s emotional wounds.

The absolute emotional value plus the motivation of thinking entirely for Lin Fan are her most shining traits.

"Don’t worry, I know what to do now!"

Lin Fan took a deep breath and looked at the distant blue sky.

Through this ordeal, he had realized many things.
