I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Now, this scene has been replayed once again. Seeing her older sister suffer such serious injuries while protecting her, her heart is bleeding.

Time passed quietly, and Yan Ziming finally succumbed to exhaustion and drifted off to sleep.

"Big sister...?"

Upon discovering that Yan Ziming was merely asleep, Ye Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief. After haphazardly wiping her face with her hands, a gradually resolute expression appeared on her face.

Pulling Xiaoze out from her chest, Ye Qianxue said fiercely, "This whole thing started because of you, and I think you know what to do."

Her self-perceived fierce appearance actually appears incredibly cute to outsiders.

"Meow."

Xiao Ze was rendered speechless by Ye Qianxue's fierceness and willingly plucked a Qilin whisker and placed it in her hand.

Without hesitation, Ye Qianxue picked up the Qilin whiskers and put them in her mouth. After chewing them carefully, she kissed Yan Zimo's lips and fed them to her bit by bit, making gurgling sounds.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Growth

After feeding Yan Ziming the Qilin whiskers, Ye Qianxue did not rest. Instead, she took care of the somewhat pained Yan Ziming at all times, wishing she could take his place.

Soon, Yan Ziming's pale face began to regain its color, no longer the sickly white. His slightly painful expression also eased, and a relaxed and peaceful smile appeared on his face.

"Big sister...you're so beautiful..."

Ye Qianxue stared blankly at her older sister's sleeping face, recalling what had happened with her yesterday, and couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Five years have passed, and finally, they have taken the most important step together, officially confirming their relationship. In the future, they will become closer and closer, and live happily ever after with their master.

Master Sister...

She wasn't there at the crucial moment. If she had been there, they wouldn't have suffered so much. They had all agreed to share their older sister with them...

Ye Qianxue knew that this was not Mu Mu's fault. Mu Mu was not a god and there would always be times when she couldn't help. She just wanted to find some outlets for her emotions.

She is content with her current life and doesn't ask for more. She only hopes that this happiness and fulfillment can continue, but that's not possible for the time being.

Such a peaceful life cannot continue without eliminating the enemy forces that covet them.

To achieve all of this, what's needed is genuine strength!

With strong inherent capabilities, many problems will be easily solved. Whether for self-preservation or to take the initiative, safeguarding one's current life will be no problem.

Yan Ziming's seventh-level strength was barely enough, but I was still far from it. In the battle just now, I seriously hindered Yan Ziming's progress. Otherwise, my sister wouldn't have had to pay such a high price to escape.

Level seven.

Ye Qianxue set her sights on the seventh rank, a stage that could elevate one's life level.

Once I break through to the seventh rank, I won't have to worry my older sister so much anymore. I can then truly help her and share the burden on her shoulders.

In fact, having lingered at the sixth rank for over a year, she had already perfectly met the first two conditions for breaking through to the seventh rank, so breaking through to the seventh rank was a natural progression.

The reason she hasn't broken through yet is because she hasn't reached the level Yan Ziming expected.

Boundary condensation is the most important step for all high-level ability users. They only have one chance in their lifetime, and once it's done, it can never be repeated. Therefore, they treat this step with utmost seriousness and caution.

This relates to the quality level of the realm, which directly affects the strength of combat power. If you don't do well and the quality of your superpower is not high, unless you break through to a higher level, people of the same level will always be one step ahead of you and you will never be able to turn the tables.

Ye Qianxue's superpower is definitely among the top tier, possessing a spatial ability that is extremely rare globally. In terms of potential, it is no less than Yan Zimo's lightning ability, or even surpasses it.

Given such favorable conditions, why not strive to reach the pinnacle and become a superior person?

Yan Ziming immediately ordered that she would not be allowed to break through to the seventh level unless she met her required standards.

It doesn't depend on the quantity, but on the quality. Absorbing obsidian won't solve this problem; it can only be understood by Ye Qianxue herself.

However, Ye Qianxue felt she couldn't hold back any longer. Desperate to gain greater strength to protect her older sister, she couldn't wait to break through to the next level.

No, she has already decided to do it.

"The path that belongs to her alone... Chiyuki's path is..."

Ye Qianxue murmured to herself. After more than a year of preparation, she had already formed a clear outline of her path. She was just one step away from clearing away the last layer of mist to glimpse a ladder that belonged to her and led straight to the clouds.

"Master's path is 'fractured,' while Elder Sister's is 'penetrated,' so Qianxue's path must be...?"

The so-called "path" is a conceptual thing, similar to job changes in online games, where changing to a certain job brings about certain changes.

She didn't want to use the paths chosen by Mu Mu and Yan Ziming as a reference, because the resulting realm would always bear their shadow and affect her future.

"World Annihilation".

The word that Ye Qianxue uttered was the name she gave to her realm, and also a path belonging to her special ability—the collapse of space.

After saying that, Ye Qianxue gently placed Yan Zimo's head on Xiao Ze, who had returned to his fat cat form. Xiao Ze did not resist because of his guilt, and besides, Yan Zimo usually treated him this way.

Ye Qianxue arrived at a more remote place, still inside a cave, found a natural stone stool, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.

She had seen her older sister condense a domain before, so she tried to imitate Yan Zimo's actions, hoping to learn something from it.

In reality, this was just something Yan Ziming referenced from an online novel. Normal people don't use such a formal posture when condensing their domains; a normal condensation method is sufficient.

However, great beauties always have special privileges; no matter what they do, it's always a feast for the eyes.

After a period of contemplation, Ye Qianxue clarified her path and began to condense her domain.

A ripple emanated from her, causing space to twist and turn within it, then a second, a third... becoming increasingly dense, until finally several ripples intertwined and spread outwards.

The space where the ripples passed was stained black. If you looked closely, you could see that there were actually countless tiny black cracks flowing there, each containing terrifying power.

After the ripples stopped spreading from Ye Qianxue's body, the black cracks began to disperse, forming seven black circles. Then, countless tiny lines extended out and connected with each other, outlining a magnificent totem.

Then, a similar totem appeared on the ground, emitting black light. All objects were swallowed up, and even the air was not spared, leaving nothing behind.

Then, the black light became extremely dense, and the space inside the totem skipped the collapse process and exploded violently, spreading an aura of destruction. The fluctuation was so strong that it could be clearly felt even ten kilometers away.

The black light dissipated, the totem dissolved...

A gaping abyss appeared in space, as if a passage to another world had been blasted open. It had stood there since ancient times. In the dark gaping abyss, there was the primordial chaos, the twinkling of starlight, and endless desolation and spatial storms moving back and forth.

Such a terrifying sight made even the unconscious Yan Ziming feel uneasy.

"Ugh—" Ye Qianxue spat out a mouthful of blood; something went wrong during the process.

This is similar to the path she is searching for, but it has deviated from that direction. If this continues, she will also die in her own realm.

Some changes are still needed.

A silver light appeared at the edge of the spatial gap, like an adhesive continuously mending the damaged space. It took more than ten minutes to repair the "wound" of this world.

After completing all this, Ye Qianxue began to condense her domain again, its brilliant silver light shining brightly, displaying the most dazzling brilliance in the world to the world.

"Ah, my good disciple has finally made it this far... As her master, I am so proud!"

Someone had appeared at the entrance of the cave, staring intently at Ye Qianxue, who was focused on condensing her domain. She wanted to know what had driven Ye Qianxue to this point.

Her gaze shifted, and when she saw the unconscious Yan Ziming, she immediately understood the whole story.

She hadn't originally planned to go here, but rather to the place where Yan Ziming had fought that ninth-rank warrior.

Halfway there, she suddenly sensed a familiar spatial fluctuation, like a coordinate, and she precisely tore through space to arrive at this place.

She was like that, and so were others, only they weren't as quick as her.

"It's the same as before; the awareness is sufficient, but the thoroughness is clearly lacking." As the mist thinned and several figures appeared in the area, Mu Mu said helplessly:

"There's no other way, so I'll have to shield you~ After all, you're my good disciple..."

Upon reaching the outside of the cave, a terrifying spatial force surged, causing the newcomer to stop and gaze at the beautiful figure blocking the entrance.

"You are Yinhe." It was the same voice that had chased Yan Ziming before, deep and majestic, with powerful spiritual waves emanating from it as it spoke, which Mu Mu completely blocked.

With just one sentence, Mu Mu's pupils contracted, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Ninth level!

Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Head-to-Head Response

"and who are you?"

"Netherworld."

That person's voice was always so calm; on the contrary, all his emotions were conveyed through the mental fluctuations emanating from him.

Mu Mu sneered. The other party had come looking for them, and their purpose was inextricably linked to Yan Ziming and the others. In that case, a major battle was inevitable.

"I never imagined that such an obscure underground organization would have two ninth-rank members. I wonder if there are more?"

"Hehe, who knows? It might be far beyond your imagination."

Youming wouldn't be foolish enough to expose the strength of his organization, and at the same time, he didn't forget to mislead Mu Mu, since there were only two ninth-level members in the organization, and no more.

Mystery is the veil that a powerful force with profound foundations should possess.

This often serves as a deterrent to the other party, making them hesitant to act rashly before they understand your true intentions.

"I don't care how many ninth-tier cultivators you have or how powerful you are, you'd better leave now."

Mu Mu glanced around at the other group of four. Two of them were weaklings below the seventh rank, and one was an eighth-rank man with a full head of blond hair and a refined demeanor that would make anyone feel good.

Clearly, this person holds a high position within their organization, as evidenced by the fact that he can stand beside Youming.

“Dear Miss Mu Mu, I think that given the current situation, you should be the one to avoid this. There is an old saying in China that goes, ‘A wise man submits to circumstances.’ You surely understand that, don’t you?”
