Chapter 665: Comforting

A wisp of primal chaos energy flowed into Shen Xitang’s body.

Shen Xitang’s condition improved visibly, and Little Heavenly Dao groaned, dazedly opening her eyes.

Primal chaos energy, a rare power from the emergence of the heavens and earth.

Quite scarce in this world.

To be more precise, it is the condensed energy of the world’s origin.

Shen Xitang lazily lay in Lu Ye’s arms.

“Ding! Host, how’s the situation now? My head was spinning earlier, and I didn’t get a good look,” Shen Xitang asked.

“The Reincarnation Celestial Lord has been slain by the Invincible Sword Saint, but the Six Paths of Reincarnation have indeed been destroyed. For now, we’ve temporarily replaced it with the Netherworld, but the Netherworld has been decayed for a long time, so its usefulness is limited.”

“However, you don’t need to worry too much. The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and the Invincible Sword Saint are outside preparing to counterattack the beings from beyond. They will seize the origins of other worlds to infuse into this realm.”

“At the very least, I still have the world within me. Although the flames haven’t completely extinguished yet, there’s not much left.”

Lu Ye said softly.

“Drip…”

Little Heavenly Dao struggled to get up from the bed, staggering to Lu Ye’s side. As her body went limp, she knelt beside Lu Ye, excitedly pawing at his thigh.

Hmm, if the sister is close to the host, then she should be close to the host too.

Little Heavenly Dao voiced her thoughts, not to be outdone.

Lu Ye looked at Little Heavenly Dao, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Kneeling on the ground, pawing at my thigh—how is that more comfortable than lying on the bed?

Damn this competitive spirit!

At that moment, Dark Yaner also contacted Lu Ye.

“Nine Lives, are you there?” Dark Yaner asked.

In fact, Dark Yaner regularly reported her recent status to Lu Ye, and nothing too major had occurred on her end.

“What’s up? Spill it.”

“It seems like the heavens and earth are about to collapse. Should we leave this realm and find another world to live in?” Dark Yaner asked.

Shen Xitang’s expression instantly changed.

Wow, this Dark Yaner has been secretly trying to steal my man.

“Take Sister Xitang and Little Heavenly Dao with you, and let’s leave together.”

With this second sentence, Dark Yaner successfully saved her own life.

Lu Ye couldn’t help but chuckle, noticing Shen Xitang’s relaxed demeanor.

This is why he could always listen when Dark Yaner spoke—because she was never trying to break up the family; she genuinely wanted to be a part of it.

“Things aren’t at that stage yet; there might be a turn of events. Just keep an eye on the Demon Ancestor and the Darkness Celestial Lord,” Lu Ye said.

“Those two are still in seclusion, and it seems the Demon Ancestor’s power has skyrocketed to a terrifying level. Is that alright?” said the Darkness Origin.

“It’s fine, as long as he doesn’t plan to cross the Saint’s Tribulation, there won’t be a problem,” Lu Ye replied.

“Okay, Nine Lives, when can I come and play with you? I miss you,” she said.

Lu Ye…

“Positive energy, positive energy!”

“Oh, fine. Well then, Nine Lives, I’ll talk to you later. Bye.”

Shen Xitang looked at Lu Ye.

“Ding! Looks like this Darkness Origin is still thinking of ways to win you over!”

“No worries, nothing to be concerned about,” Lu Ye laughed.

Lu Ye carefully examined Little Heavenly Dao and Shen Xitang’s conditions, confirming that there would be no signs of dissipating anytime soon, so he decided to stay.

With the Six Paths of Reincarnation having fallen, and both the Darkness Celestial Lord and the Demon Ancestor under the watch of the Darkness Origin, everything had finally settled down.

Lu Ye didn’t need to return to the Heavenly Gate to hold the fort; he simply stayed in this Heavenly Palace to cultivate.

The power of the Nine Lives fusion is boundless; he wanted to sort it all out properly.

There will definitely be more fierce battles ahead; the Celestial Lord Fist consumes a lot of energy, and Lu Ye can’t use it against every Celestial Lord. The divine abilities he had in the Celestial Lord Realm could also fully awaken, and after two lifetimes of cultivation, those abilities would only become stronger.

His inner world was undergoing drastic changes.

All the ranks of Saints appeared within his world.

The large flames dwindled, and now there were barely two-tenths of the world left engulfed in fire.

Two hundred fifty-six Dao paths were undergoing continuous practice, gradually merging completely into the heavens and earth and beginning to rapidly enhance.

Under the influence of the Saint ranks, these two hundred fifty-six Dao paths started to evolve into other Dao paths, branching out like additional limbs.

Time passed second by second.

All was peaceful within the realm.

But as long as there were living beings, a sense of panic surged in their hearts, as if disaster were impending, causing them to feel anxious day and night.

Rumors about the heavens and earth facing destruction were rampant.

The chaotic situation began to reveal itself.

Lu Ye sensed some changes and took the initiative to appear in the realm.

At that moment, Lu Ye’s silhouette projected across the heavens and earth, from the Nine Heavens to the boundless outer realm.

It was just a phantom, yet it appeared in the sight of countless people, and each person seeing Lu Ye’s phantom perceived it as immense and boundless.

This was the divine power of the Celestial Lord.

“Everyone, I am Lu Ye, the Nine Lives Celestial Lord, the strongest being in this realm at present.”

The name Lu Ye had already spread to every corner of the world, and upon seeing Lu Ye’s apparition, many beings became excited.

“In recent days, rumors of the heavens and earth collapsing have been growing increasingly rampant. There are some inaccuracies in these claims, and today I, Lu, have come to clarify.”

“First, the heavens and earth collapsing means that the strong are preparing to flee—this is false. I, Nine Lives, hereby promise that if the heavens and earth collapse, it will only be after my death. I will exist with the heavens and earth and perish with them.”

“Second, while the heavens and earth are indeed in a precarious state, I have devised a method with the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and the Invincible Sword Saint to save the realm, so all beings should remain calm.”

“Third, shortly, there will be numerous forbidden lands descending from beyond. Please seek safe places and protect yourselves; once the forbidden lands are destroyed, the heavens and earth will be reborn, and not only will they not perish, but they will also become even stronger.”

“I hope all of you value your lives, stay calm, and cultivate peacefully. Should the heavens collapse, I will be here to support.”

Lu Ye’s apparition appeared before the myriad beings and delivered such words.

This reassured many beings.

Of course, part of the reason was that Lu Ye had risen and had indeed done no wrong by the living beings, even though he possessed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he had never engaged in large-scale slaughter of the innocent except on the battlefield against the Eternal Heavenly Prodigies.

Another reason was that Lu Ye mentioned the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.

And he had made a pact with the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.
