Chapter 357: Chapter 246 Conclusion

The Corpse Immortal Divine Statue burned to ash under the Taiyang Divine Power.

In its final moments, the statue suddenly emitted light, and a vague, ghostly outline manifested as if trying to force its descent, but it undeniably failed, silently collapsing and dissipating.

Zhou Yuan let out a breath; without the statue as an anchor, the Corpse Immortal could not escape and was doomed to die.

Just then, a comforting spring breeze swept across heaven and earth, and in an instant, plants bloomed, fragrance filled the air, and a spectacle of all things reviving unfolded like a slow-unfurling painting. A sea of vibrant, blossoming flowers spread open, an overwhelmingly beautiful sight.

Zhou Yuan looked up and saw a radiant, long-haired woman standing in the void. Even though she exuded a peaceful aura that made the entire world seem vibrant and alive, her expression was exceedingly cold and indifferent, possessed of immense majesty that was formidable and awe-inspiring.

[Green Emperor]

The Eyes of Identification provided only a two-word note.

The Green Emperor... Zhou Yuan, of course, knew of her—the East Continent’s True God, who governed the domains of life, plants, agriculture, and harvest. Her status was equivalent to that of the Nature Goddess.

It seemed she was assistance called in by the Control Bureau.

But her help was not really needed now, as the battle within the void was drawing to a close.

The Chaotic Immortal Light surged with a world-shaking force, emitting thunderous roars that shook the ancient heavens, as Ye Wushuang used her strongest killer move.

The Corpse Immortal Avatar was riddled with cracks, attempting one last effort with a loud roar. A river manifested, flowing with the essence of time, countless Tao Law runes sparkling, waves surging high, roaring toward Ye Wushuang.

Boom!

A collision that astounded the ages ensued, the Immortal River crashed, chaos churned, and a boundless radiant light burst from the void battlefield, tearing through space, even illuminating half a planet in reality.

With a splattering sound, the Corpse Immortal Avatar was pierced by the Chaotic Immortal Light, exploding into dust—this time thoroughly annihilated, its avatar completely obliterated.

This battle was undoubtedly astonishing; although both parties were not in their full states, they both possessed supreme positions. To rapidly kill a supreme-level fighter in such a short amount of time displayed the strength of Ye Wushuang, otherwise, she would not have been able to reverse survive to this era.

However, Ye Wushuang’s condition began to plummet drastically; she coughed violently, spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, a dense aura of death enveloping her, her realm rapidly falling from the True Immortal Realm.

The Green Emperor stepped into the void battlefield and appeared beside Ye Wushuang, "I have often heard Ye Youxian boast about his daughter. Now that I see you, Dao friend, you are indeed formidable."

She released a breath of vital energy, an endless vitality flowing, pouring into Ye Wushuang’s body, and for the moment, it stabilized her condition.

But this was only temporary, only delaying the inevitable for some time. Ye Wushuang would eventually enter a Fake Death State, and the only way to escape this bizarre state of being both alive and dead was up to her.

"Thank you," said Ye Wushuang, giving thanks and glancing down to ensure Zhou Yuan was safe. She then tore through space and arrived at the Central Continent Immortal Domain.

This region’s time and space had been sealed off by the Control Bureau; in her current state, she could not breach it and could only gaze from afar.

The battle was also nearing its end.

Under the siege and suppression of four True Gods, five ninth-tier pinnacle fighters, and several abnormal items, the Corpse Immortal’s demise was certain.

"Wushuang." Ye Youxian, who resembled a young child, flew over but had not joined the battle, for he had not yet reattained the True Immortal Fruit Position in this life.

Ye Wushuang softly said, "Father."

"How are you?" Ye Youxian asked with some nervousness.

Ye Wushuang shook her head, "I am unharmed, but I will soon fall asleep, entering a Fake Death State. In this era of Transcendent Recovery, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant and the speed of life and death alternating is accelerated, perhaps I will awaken in ten years."

"The Control Bureau should have a way to solve the problem."

Ye Wushuang was resolute, "This is my path, I must walk it alone."

Boom!

At that moment, the battle within the Immortal Mansion concluded. The Corpse Immortal was killed, with all remnants of its flesh, Tao Law, and authority collected by the Control Bureau.

"It’s over."

Ye Youxian rubbed the back of his head and sighed, "It’s really strange to watch yourself being killed."

Ye Wushuang didn’t want to speak; she had just killed a Corpse Immortal Avatar that had the face of her father.

"Wushuang, the former me left a time silhouette of the Longevity Tree for the current me," Ye Youxian’s tone became serious at this point, "I originally thought it was prepared to deal with the Corpse Immortal, but now it seems that might not be the case, and there may be other great calamities ahead."

"In the Transcendent Recovery Era, any kind of disaster wouldn’t be surprising," said Ye Wushuang.

The road ahead was still long.

Zhou Yuan waited for two hours in a sea of blooming flowers, finally waiting for Jiang Wuming, who had just won the resurrection match.

"You finally won the resurrection match, any later and I wouldn’t have waited for you," Zhou Yuan appeared before him.

"Holy shit, how are you alive?" Jiang Wuming was shocked to see Zhou Yuan; he clearly remembered that both of them were hit by a drop of Corpse Immortal True Blood, and no matter how incredible Zhou Yuan was, he should have died.

"I was revived by watching an ad," Zhou Yuan said.

"...Fucking revived by watching an ad." Jiang Wuming didn’t ask further; it was either the Player System or Raven had pulled some strings.

He looked around, "Is it over?"

"It’s over; the real body of the Corpse Immortal has been taken care of."

"What are your plans now?" Jiang Wuming asked.

With the Corpse Immortal dealt with and the crisis of Lingxu Dongtian averted, it was now time for real development.

"Well... I’ll continue to cultivate here for a while; the concentration of spiritual energy here is higher than outside, beneficial for cultivation."

Back in Chenzhou.

The people of the city were eagerly discussing the extraordinary battle that had just taken place, and the real-world internet had exploded into a frenzy, with discussions about the global phenomenon everywhere.

In the Temporary Control Bureau, Zhou Yuan met with the commander-in-chief and, without a word, pushed the Duke of Pale Death forward, astonishing everyone in the office, leaving them dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Before long, a space portal opened, and several professionals stepped out, escorting the Duke of Pale Death into a special transport chamber, packing him up to take away.

"This is the highest-level member of the Land of Truth we’ve captured in recent years," the commander exclaimed, "There are seventeen billion just in bounty on his head."

Apart from the bounty, the Control Bureau was sure to give additional rewards, and rewards were not limited to money; they came in the form of various transcendent items.

Zhou Yuan nodded calmly and soon left.

Over the following days, Zhou Yuan spent his time cultivating in his room, occasionally keeping an eye on developments in the Dark Plane, feeling a sense of detachment from worldly noise, as if in secluded meditation.

Finally, someone got restless.

Chen Guangxi barged into the room directly and got straight to the point, "We agreed to go on a date these past few days; why have you been silent?"

Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his tone calm, "I need to cultivate."

"Cultivate your market, c’mon, let’s go have some fun," Chen Guangxi said, pulling Zhou Yuan toward the door.

But Zhou Yuan raised his hand to stop him and said seriously, "We should spend our limited time on the limitless pursuit of cultivation. Only this way, can we one day unearth the truth behind the transcendent and the abnormal, exploring the truth of the universe’s myriad things—that’s what we should be doing."

"???"

Chen Guangxi was bewildered, "Did you put too much glue in your hair recently? Why are you in Wise Man Mode?"

"Oh, it’s because I used an item," Zhou Yuan took out the "Wise Man Mode Grass’s Timepiece" and explained.

Chen Guangxi suddenly realized, no wonder he seemed off—aloof and without desire—it was because he used an item that caused this!
