Ye Xiao has always liked to hear "kind words," so out of goodwill, he tries to make sure that every company person he meets is dead.

The girl from the Full Moon Cult dissipated into specks of light once more, drifting to another candlestick where she regrouped. "Hey, once you've dealt with these statues, you can go up. Don't chase after me and try to hack me to pieces..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Xiao's throwing knife had already pierced through the darkness and reached the tip of her nose.

The next second, Ye Xiao appeared and chopped off the girl's head with a single sword strike.

Having observed the opponent's spell of transforming into points of light twice, Ye Xiao discovered that the opponent always dissipated before his sword could strike. Clearly, this meant that the opponent was not invincible but had to activate the spell in advance to avoid damage.

"Honestly, they have no sense of chivalry towards women."

Strangely, while the head was spinning in mid-air, spraying blood, it could still steadily make sounds. Her body, like a kite with a broken string, was about to crash onto the floor tiles when it instantly turned into specks of light, which then converged again around her head, which was flying outward in an arc.

The points of light surged over and enveloped the head, then after a turbulent motion, it transformed back into a perfectly intact human form.

However, the girl's hood and robe had broken apart, and she carried it like a tattered sack. "Oh dear, you've even cut the hood into a split hood."

"What kind of immortal monster did you encounter this time? You corporate lackeys, you've got so much messy work to do."

Ye Xiao frowned.

"Hey Ye Xiao, you keep cursing me even though I'm not talking back, that's going too far!"

The girl pouted and dusted off her hood. "I finally managed to get away from that woman and see you. You can forget everything, but your constant cursing is really ruining the atmosphere."

"Sister is right. If I had known, I would have been better off not coming. I could have gotten a different supervisor to give you a hard time."

"What are you muttering about? Are you chanting scriptures like a turtle?"

Ye Xiao leaped to the ground as he chased after the girl, and the surrounding stone statues once again targeted him and surged towards him.

This greatly relieved the pressure on Jinli and Mingya. The two were surrounded and chased by the group of stone statues. At first, they broke a few, but found that the stone statues were getting stronger and stronger after merging, so they dared not fight back and could only run away.

"Brother Ye, if we don't get rid of these rocks soon, I won't be able to run anymore!"

Mingya wore a bitter expression. He had overheard the conversation and thought Ye Xiao was flirting with the girl. He had to admit that he was nearing his limit.

Seeing Mingya complaining, Ye Xiao turned his gaze to the stone statues that had surrounded him, and with a single sword strike, the sword energy instantly shattered all the surrounding stone statues.

"Wait a minute!? We can't break them!"

Mingya exclaimed in surprise.

As Mingya exclaimed in surprise, the several shattered stone statues indeed began to merge, and the ghostly white flames that emerged from them floated in the air and gathered into a ball, slowly forming a huge ball of light.

At first, the orbs of light were small and the contents were not clearly visible, but now they have gathered together into an orb the size of a water tank, and everyone can see that it is a giant spider curled into a ball inside.

To be precise, it wasn't a single spider, but rather a giant entity formed by a dense cluster of tiny spiders.

If you look closely, you can see those tiny individuals densely packed together, wriggling, which is enough to make your scalp tingle.

As the light clustered and the firelight flickered, invisible waves rippled outwards from the enormous monster composed of countless tiny spiders.

That strange magic seemed to strike straight into people's hearts. Jinli and Mingya stood there, stunned. For some reason, they seemed to sense a sense of holiness and awe from the strange ball of light floating in the sky.

"This is... a divine soul?"

Ye Xiao, who had seen and dealt with many gods, would feel similar emotions every time those gods revealed their true forms.

Therefore, he immediately recognized that the giant spider floating in the air was a god.

However, to be more precise, it should be described as a very incomplete and weak god, because it was not as powerful as the gods he had encountered before. Even Freya, who was about to ascend to godhood, whom he met in Hope Town, brought a stronger sense of oppression than this spider.

"Your memory is still as bad as ever,"

The girl from the Full Moon Cult floated to the edge of the hall with her hands behind her back, and said with a light laugh, "This is the remnant soul of the Moon Goddess who was knocked off her divine position by that woman. Do you remember?"

Moon Goddess?

Upon this reminder, Ye Xiao immediately recalled that the other party had been eaten by Ella, or more accurately, Lydia, in the void, leaving some remnants that floated away to who knows where.

So this is where this guy collected them?

Ye Xiao was surprised, but what was this all about? Did they intend to use this remnant soul to deal with them?

For Mingya and Jinli, such a divine enemy might be unheard of, but for Ye Xiao, who had slain even more powerful gods, this mere remnant of a god's soul was nothing to him.

As he pondered, the enormous, pale white spider's soul suddenly opened its clasped pincers, and its eight glowing compound eyes stared at Ye Xiao without warning.

bad!

The moment their eyes met, Ye Xiao knew something was wrong.

He should be aware of the Moon Goddess's abilities, since Ella often uses them herself; it's an illusion that can be triggered simply by exchanging glances.

So he quickly closed his eyes and turned his head away, but once the mental connection was established, it was too late to avoid it.

He covered his forehead, as if an electric current had instantly surged through his body, and strange thoughts flooded his brain like a tide. In an instant, he felt a dizzying sensation.

For no apparent reason, it seemed as if some hazy words were coming from a very distant place...

……

"Hey Ye Xiao, I heard you're applying to Beidu?"

A familiar voice, and a girl with a blurry face appeared before me.

"Ah."

Ye Xiao felt like he responded, but to be precise, it wasn't his response, but rather how he remembered responding.

The surrounding environment gradually became clearer—the corner of the blackboard, covered with homework, read "Seventy-six days until the college entrance examination"; the electric fan on the white-painted ceiling was slowly rotating; the afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the window, illuminating the girl in front of me wearing a clean white school uniform.

"Why did things change so suddenly? Did you talk to your sister about it?"

"Why talk to her?"

Ye Xiao closed the pencil case, put it away, and stuffed it into her schoolbag.

"Bookworm, are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?"

The girl's voice seemed to be filled with sorrow, her arms folded on Ye Xiao's desk.

"You all go abroad to study, so does it matter where I take the exam?"

Ye Xiao chuckled, picked up his bag, and got up to leave.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

The voice came from behind, but Ye Xiao ignored it and went straight out of the classroom.

Chapter 105 Divine Essence

"...Brother Ye! Brother Ye!?"

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

"Brother Ye! You can't die!!!"

The noisy crying startled Ye Xiao awake.

He opened his eyes and saw Mingya lying next to him, tears streaming down her face. He asked in surprise, "...What happened?"

Mingya's shouts suddenly stopped, and he stared blankly at Ye Xiao, "Oh!? Brother Ye, you're alright!?"

"Was I dizzy for a long time?"

Ye Xiaoyang looked up and saw a deep blue curtain of water, like a bowl, covering their heads.

"It only lasted for about ten seconds."

Jinli's voice drifted over from the side, "Mingya cried out that without you, the group had to break up."

"Hey, Miss Koi, you can't just say things like that."

Mingya's lips twitched immediately.

Ten or twenty seconds?

Ye Xiao held his forehead; in terms of combat, being unconscious for more than ten seconds was enough to kill him.

But why didn't the other party make a move?

"Hey, it's good that you're alright, Brother Ye. I saw that giant spider rush over and bite your head right away. It scared me half to death."

Mingya gesticulated wildly, "But after a while it disappeared again. It was so big, it just like a cloud that crawled into your head."

It's inside my head?!

Ye Xiao was startled; this was still a bit frightening.

He hurriedly opened the system and used his senses to check his body, and indeed found a strange magical power hidden in his chest cavity.

With a slight mental effort to touch it, the magic was drawn out and appeared as a small white spider on the back of Ye Xiao's hand. It would even follow his thoughts and climb up and down his arm.

"What is this?"

Mingya, who was standing nearby, saw this and looked surprised. "Wow, Brother Ye, you didn't beat up that giant spider in your dream and turn it into this pet in those last ten seconds, did you?"

A cheater is a cheater; in Mingya's opinion, nothing is surprising that Ye Xiao can do anything.

"How could that be? I haven't practiced this skill in my training."

Ye Xiao was also a little confused. Could it be that this thing was originally meant to attack his soul, but then accidentally made eye contact with Lydia or something?

But in that case, this thing should have died out immediately. It's strange that it still has this extremely pure magic power left, and he can control it at will.

If it were to plant some kind of hidden danger in the body, such as a curse or a parasite, then there would be even less reason for this thing to obey him so readily.

You should know that when Ye Xiao tried to connect with the white spider using his mind, the spider was so obedient that it was just like a pet.

"Where's that guy from the company?"

"After you fell unconscious, the woman in the priest's robe disappeared."

This time, Jinli chimed in, "The stone statues are all in pieces. I set up the water curtain because I was afraid they would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but now I can't even see a trace of them. They must have really run away."

Ran?

Ye Xiao was a little nervous. These ten-odd seconds were a golden opportunity. Even if they really thought he was dead, they should at least finish him off. Leaving like this didn't seem like the company's style at all.

Could it really be that they left work on time? Ye Xiao recalled the other person's absent-minded appearance and for some reason felt that this reason was not impossible.

After all, the other party had...

Before? What before?

Ye Xiao was startled by the thought that had popped into her head unconsciously.

Have I seen her before?

Was that scene while I was unconscious a hallucination... or a memory?

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly; he was actually a little confused.

On the one hand, the events before the time travel were at least twenty years ago, so it's normal that I can't remember many things clearly.

But if it really was someone he knew well, Ye Xiao felt he wouldn't forget them so easily.

On the other hand, logically speaking, with Ella present, Ye Xiao's resistance to mental spells should be quite good.

Although they are separated by time, they are still the same in terms of consciousness. Casting illusions on him and casting illusions on Ella should be about the same difficulty.

However, Ye Xiao then thought about it again and realized that it didn't really matter what it was.

Even if that were true, the other party wouldn't think that such a trivial recollection could shake their stance.

Ye Xiao curled her lips slightly.

At worst, out of consideration for our acquaintance, I'll offer a few more prayers in the name of the saint when executing her in the future, just to help Ella accumulate some good karma.

……

The battle was strange; I thought it would be some kind of obstacle, but it ended inexplicably.

Fortunately, this didn't take much to Ye Xiao's liking. After Mingya and Jinli, who were tired from running, took a break, the three of them continued upwards.

The castle's structure is not complicated; it is simply connected to the uppermost altar by a long flight of stairs.

There were no ambushes or traps along the way; it was dark and deserted.

"Brother Ye, I was wondering why we're doing this, it's like an old RPG game where we're storming the Demon King's castle."

As Mingya walked along the road, perhaps because the other two in the team mostly preferred to remain silent, he got a little bored and started talking again, "With all these layers, if I were on the other side, wouldn't we all gather together and attack at once?"

"I'd love for them to all come at once."
