saint of humanity

The Origin Realm has been completely integrated, and judging from all indications, the consciousness of the Abyss has also been fully revived, which will inevitably accelerate its erosion of the entire universe.

Therefore, if the time is delayed for too long, it will be disadvantageous to our side.

Hearing Lu Ye's question, Yang Qing smiled slightly: "Under normal circumstances, that is indeed the case. However, the Phoenix Clan has a secret technique that allows them to maintain their peak level for a certain period of time after Nirvana. But in doing so, they will be weak for a long time afterward, and it will be more difficult to recover."

Lu Ye immediately understood. If that was the case, then there wasn't much of a problem.

As the two were talking, the blood flames over there had already started to burn fiercely, and in no time, the blood flames completely enveloped the remains of Qi Sheng.

When the blood flames subsided, the remains of the Seven Saints were nowhere to be seen; only a large, oval-shaped egg remained standing.

The rebirth of the Seven Saints has begun!

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel worried, because it had taken him many years from the time he was reborn to the time he hatched, and he didn't know how long it would take for Qi Sheng.

But upon further reflection, the reason he spent so much time was entirely because he was not a member of the Phoenix Clan, and his ability to undergo Nirvana was solely due to obtaining Su Yan's Phoenix Clan true blood.

Just like Su Yan's rebirth, it took her much less time than him.

As time passed, Lu Ye and Yang Qing healed their wounds and chatted frequently. It was only then that Yang Qing gradually learned from Lu Ye about the various changes in the universe after he fell into the Origin Realm, as well as the events that had occurred in recent years.

"Actually, there isn't just one line of Dao Tree inheritance." Yang Qing made a surprising remark during the casual conversation.

Seeing Lu Ye's astonished expression, Yang Qing smiled slightly: "The Dao Tree inheritance was created by our ancestor and left in this universe. There are nine in total. Before I became a True Saint, I split into nine avatars and took these nine inheritances with me. The purpose was to find suitable successors in various star systems. However, it seems that the other eight inheritances have failed. Fortunately, you succeeded. Don't be surprised. In fact, from our ancestor's perspective, creating the Dao Tree inheritance is not difficult. What is difficult is its subsequent growth."

Lu Ye deeply agreed.

Because he had always known that he was not the first recipient of the Dao Tree inheritance; before him, there were many predecessors who had received the Dao Tree inheritance.

Just like its previous owner, an ancestor from the same Nine Provinces, although he received the inheritance of the Dao Tree, he went astray because of it, and even caused the Nine Provinces to suffer a catastrophic disaster.

"Where is the Second Ancestor's avatar now?" Lu Ye asked.

The clone that had contact with him left the starry sky after sending him to the Tree of Reincarnation for training. It then sought out Yin Luo, enlightened her, and asked her to help guard the Gate of Star Abyss. After that, it disappeared without a trace.

Since entering the Star Abyss, Lu Ye had been trying to find Yang Qing's whereabouts, but he had never succeeded until one day, when he learned from the Dragon Clan that Yang Qing was actually the second ancestor of the Dragon Clan.

But the Second Ancestor is the true self, and has always been in the Origin Realm. If that's the case, where are the clones?

Yang Qing smiled slightly and said, "My clone was only tasked with escorting the Dao Tree inheritance into the starry sky, and it had countless connections with the main body. After returning from the starry sky to the Star Abyss, in order to avoid the Abyss noticing anything amiss, it must have perished on its own."

This was also the intention he left for his nine clones when he created them.

Lu Ye suddenly realized that the reason he had been unable to find Yang Qing's clone was because it had long since disappeared.

As the two were talking, Yang Qing suddenly sensed something and turned to look to the side.

Lu Ye also looked in that direction and saw that a crack had appeared on the large, blood-red egg. Under his watchful gaze, the crack suddenly spread in all directions.

In an instant, the entire phoenix egg was covered with cracks, and a rich vitality spread out from the cracks.

Lu Ye and Yang Qing exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of joy.

The Nirvana of the Seventh Lord was much faster than they had expected; the entire process took only a month.

While the two were watching closely, the cracks on the phoenix egg continued to increase and widen until one moment it suddenly shattered!
Amidst a red glow, a slender figure vaguely appeared.

As the red light slowly dissipated, a slightly aloof face came into their view.

Yang Qingfei stepped forward, with Lu Ye following closely behind.

The Seventh Ancestor's gaze lingered between the two for a moment before finally settling on Yang Qing. He spoke softly, his voice as sweet as a nightingale's: "Second Ancestor?"

When she fell into the Origin Realm, Yang Qing had been a True Saint for countless years, so she naturally knew of his existence.

Now that she was in the river of time again, and Yang Qing's dragon aura was extremely obvious, she naturally had some guesses.

“Not bad!” Yang Qing nodded.

The Seventh Generation Master immediately bowed gracefully: "Huang Qiying greets the Second Ancestor!"

She then looked at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye quickly bowed and said, "Lu Ye greets the Seventh Generation Master!"

Yang Qing added from the side, "This young friend is a successor of Daoshu."

The Seventh Generation Master nodded slightly: "I guessed it!" She looked around again, then at the mess at her feet: "Now that I have undergone Nirvana, and the Second Ancestor has regained his intelligence... has the will of the Abyss been revived?"

Like Yang Qing, she had no memory of the days when her intelligence was extinguished and she was enslaved by the Abyss.

But back when she became a True Saint and fell into the Origin Realm, she foresaw this scene, because once she was killed, she would inevitably be reborn and return.

And the only one who could forcibly kill her would probably be a True Saint.

In fact, back when she fell into the Origin Realm, she had already roughly figured out Yang Qing's plan and knew that the one who would kill her would definitely be Yang Qing, who had regained his intelligence!
That's why she wasn't surprised at all when she woke up today.

Yang Qing's expression turned serious, and he raised his hand to tap the seventh generation master's forehead: "It's too troublesome to explain, just take a look for yourself."

The seventh generation master did not dodge. With Yang Qing's guidance, a lot of information instantly filled his mind.

After a dozen or so breaths, she turned to look at Lu Ye, her eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.

Based on the information Yang Qing conveyed, it was clear that without Lu Ye, the current situation would not exist. Both she and Yang Qing would still be under Yuan's enslavement.

Yang Qing and she deliberately fell into the Origin Realm, not to submit to the Abyss, but to wait for an opportunity, or a point to break the deadlock.

This opportunity came from the successor of Daoshu!

They didn't know if they could wait that long, but given how things were developing, they had no other choice. To defeat the Abyss, they needed the strength of a True Saint to contend with the other enslaved True Saints.

But once they achieve true sainthood, they will fall into the Origin Realm and become puppets of the Abyss.

Now that the opportunity and the breakthrough point have appeared, both Yang Qing and she have regained their intelligence, so what needs to be done next is simple.

—Take care of the other True Saints, storm Abyss Island, then eliminate Abyss, and restore clarity to the universe.

With the situation now at this point, what follows is a clash of strength, with no room for any fancy maneuvers.

However, in terms of numbers, our side is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage. Even though Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master have regained their intelligence, there are still seven True Saints on Yuan's side!
In terms of overall strength, our side has no advantage whatsoever.

Yang Qing has only just achieved the strength of a True Saint, and has ended up in the same situation as Lu Ye, making it difficult for him to mobilize external forces.

The seventh generation master has returned from the ashes, but her strength has not yet recovered. Only by activating a secret technique can she return to her peak. Once she appears, she will also be targeted by Yuan, and then lose the ability to rely on external forces.

But no matter how bad the situation gets, it's never as difficult as it was at the beginning.

Now, Lu Ye no longer needs to fight alone. Not to mention that he has many half-saints in his inner world as a backing for his strength, Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master are also powerful helpers.

The future looks promising!

……

Thousand Streams City, as the only one of the top ten still existing, this massive city of Dao Integration seems to have been unaffected by the recent changes in the situation.

It still stands in its own territory, seemingly destined to endure through the ages.

Less than 100,000 miles from Qianliu City, when the sound of rushing water could be heard, a great river suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, a figure stepped out from within.

It was Lu Ye!

As soon as he appeared, Lu Ye spread his divine sense and immediately located the position of Qianliu City, then flashed towards it to attack.

His strength still has room for improvement, because there are still a few semi-saints in his inner world who have not been able to leave their mark on his Dao Integration Pearl.

The reason for this is that the Dao-Merging Pearl has reached its limit.

To break this limit, more core fragments need to be integrated.

Currently, the only remaining core fragment in the entire Star Abyss is located in Thousand Streams City.

This is also why Lu Ye appeared here. After exchanging ideas with the Seventh Generation Master, he asked Yang Qing to send him here.

Besides seizing the core fragment to raise the limit of his own Dao Integration Bead, Lu Ye also wanted to know what changes would occur to his Dao Integration Bead if he collected all the core fragments.
Ancient legends say that the Dao-Merging Pearl is the most precious treasure in the universe!

It has the power to mobilize the free-floating forces in the universe!

Therefore, Lu Ye guessed that if he could gather all ten core fragments, wouldn't he be able to use this treasure to counter Yuan's targeting and solve the problem of himself and Yang Qing being unable to mobilize external forces?
If that's the case, not only will Yang Qing's strength improve, but our side's strength will definitely increase dramatically!

Because he has always relied on his own inherent strength and resources.

The external force we are relying on now is still the many semi-saints within the inner world.

If this conjecture comes true, then with Lu Ye's current strength, he can easily deal with the other True Saints, and the crisis of the entire Star Abyss can be easily resolved.

With a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind, Lu Ye rapidly approached Qianliu City.

However, just a moment later, he suddenly frowned, because he sensed that something was wrong with the situation in Qianliu City!
He had attacked Qianliu City before, but failed, so he was quite familiar with this Hedao City.

Moreover, even without prior knowledge, the abnormalities in Thousand Streams City are extremely obvious. (End of Chapter)
