Ye Futian sauntered forward, preparing to leave.
“Hold on,” a voice was heard from behind him. So, he came to a halt but did not turn around. Then, he asked while facing his back to her, “What’s the matter, Your Highness?”
“We are trapped in this small world now. If we don’t look for a way to break out of this place, we will never leave here. Furthermore, the living dead is becoming sentient now. Hence, it will only continue to become stronger,” Donghuang Diyuan explained.
Ye Futian turned around to look at Donghuang Diyuan, only to find her regaining her composure. Her eyes were calm as they stared at him. Even her arrogance earlier had dissipated completely.
“So?” Ye Futian asked. Donghuang Diyuan’s words sounded fishy to him.
“Let’s form a coalition,” Donghuang Diyuan uttered.
Ye Futian could not help but frown at Donghuang Diyuan’s words. He could not believe that she proposed to work with him.
The snobbish Princess Donghuang had always been acting dismissively toward him. She had been treating him in a condescending manner. Donghuang Diyuan was all high and mighty before him, even after he became a powerful cultivator.
Yet, someone like her offered to ally with him.
Did he somehow subdue the haughty Donghuang Diyuan earlier?
Ye Futian knitted his brows in confusion while looking at Donghuang Diyuan as the thought crossed his mind. Could it be that the high-born princess, who no one dared to defy, had a bizarre fetish?
Otherwise, there was no better way to explain what just happened.
Or perhaps, she would acknowledge someone who could overpower her.
Ye Futian had a complicated look on his face as the thought came to mind.
Donghuang Diyuan noticed his expression as well. Although she was confused, she did not know what he was thinking about. Or else, she might unleash the Aura of the Great Path to fight Ye Futian with all her strength if she came to know about it.
“”Tve told you that the woman in white would fall into a deep sleep to absorb the Will of this world. Now, she has become stronger after all the absorption. Moreover, the duration of her sleep is becoming shorter. We don’t have much time left,” Donghuang Diyuan stated without giving much thought as to
what Ye Futian had in his mind. She only wanted to focus on dealing with the woman in white.
It was as if they were no longer enemies. There was no tension in the atmosphere like before.
“Do you have a way to get us out of here?” Ye Futian questioned.
“Ido. We can try it out,” Donghuang Diyuan responded.
“What should we do?” Ye Futian peered at Donghuang Diyuan, who came earlier than him. He reckoned that she should know more about the woman in white and this realm since she had witnessed the living dead’s sleep and awakening.
“The place where she slept has a powerful Divine Level Matrix. That Divine Matrix is the reason she could assimilate the inexhaustible Will in this realm with her. She would draw in the Will of this small world whenever she slept. It would help if you took its place,” Donghuang Diyuan answered while
looking at Ye Futian.
“Me? You want me to take its place?” Ye Futian gazed at Donghuang Diyuan in bafflement.
“That’s right,” Donghuang Diyuan nodded and continued, “The Matrix will be activated when she sleeps. At that time, I will show up to interrupt her and lure her away. Then, you will enter the Divine Matrix to assimilate the Will of this realm.”
Ye Futian frowned in suspicion and shot Donghuang Diyuan a dubious look upon hearing that.
“Why would Princess Donghuang give up such a good thing? Why don’t you let me be the one to keep her busy while you enter the Matrix to assimilate the Will of this realm instead?” Ye Futian suggested.
This small world was left behind by an Ancient Great Emperor. Besides, the Divine Matrix had assimilated the Will of this realm with the woman in white. So why would she let him take the living dead’s place?
If anything went wrong, he would lose his life there. If the Will of this realm had even a bit of consciousness left, he would die horribly.
“You’ve inherited several Wills of the Ancient Great Emperors. So I believe that you must be gifted in this area. The linchpin of this small world is the Will left behind by a Great Emperor. The Divine Matrix is the core of this realm. I have faith that you can do it again,” Donghuang Diyuan said while staring
at Ye Futian as if she thought highly of him.
Ye Futian glanced at Donghuang Diyuan skeptically and taunted, “Since when did Princess Donghuang start to have a high opinion of me?”
“You know the strength of the woman in white. Unleashing the Force of the Great Path to lure it out is extremely dangerous as well. You’re not the only one risking their lives. Besides, you would gain a great benefit if you succeeded.” Donghuang Diyuan added, “Who knows if you can actually inherit yet
another Will of the Great Emperor? Furthermore, the Will of this realm is pretty complete and powerful. So, what do you say?”
“It never crossed my mind that Princess Donghuang could be so talkative,” Ye Futian remarked. It was something unusual after all.
“Well, then. Let’s continue to linger in this small world,” Donghuang Diyuan responded and closed her eyes to continue her cultivation.
Ye Futian turned to look at Donghuang Diyuan and replied, “I agree to work with you.”
He had no choice since there was no better option. Donghuang Diyuan could rely on Donghuang the Great to escape. Although he could use Celerity to avoid being trailed by the enemy, there was no telling how long this method would work.
‘What if Donghuang the Great showed up and brought Donghuang Diyuan out of here safely and left him behind? No one could tell what might happen afterward.
Besides, what Donghuang Diyuan said earlier actually made sense. Even though it was dangerous, he could gain a lot from it if he succeeded. He had no qualms about living up to the name of Relic Reaper once more.
At that moment, Ye Futian could not help but wonder if Donghuang Diyuan had been putting up an act all this while.
“You’ve sustained a lot of injuries. It’d be risky for you to fight in this state. So why don’t you allow me to heal you first?” Ye Futian said while moving forward.
“How do you plan to do it without releasing the Will of the Great Path?” Donghuang Diyuan asked.
Ye Futian put on a smile as he looked at Donghuang Diyuan. Naturally, she understood what he was playing at after seeing his expression. So she immediately declined, “I don’t need it. I can recover by myself.”
“Okay,” Ye Futian said and remained taciturn. Then he found himself a tranquil corner to sit and rest while waiting for Donghuang Diyuan to recover.
Despite not having any powerful Force of the Great Path of Life, Donghuang Diyuan had the inheritance of Ancestral Dragon and Divine Phoenix. Hence, her toughness and recovery speed was exceptional. Ye Futian did not interrupt her but sat at the spot while enjoying the serenity of that place.
A few moments later, Ye Futian turned to glance at Donghuang Diyuan. Although she did not emanate the Aura of the Great Path, a layer of Divine Light covered her entire body, further intensified her sanctitude. The light that reflected on her impeccable countenance had only added to her beauty.
“Hmm?” Ye Futian did not keep his gaze on her but lifted his head to look into the sky. He was met with the sight of a spine-chilling Will that flowed in a certain direction. At once, the entire atmosphere was filled with overwhelming pressure.
“It has begun,” Ye Futian murmured. He surmised that the woman in white must have fallen into a deep sleep again.
At that time, Donghuang Diyuan opened her eyes and looked at Ye Futian… She declared, “Let’s go!”
