232: My dear, please come in.

“We meet again, Mortal.”

A viscous voice echoed.

It was as if he was speaking with feces in his mouth.

Qin Yang frowned, immediately activating his Six Paths Spirit Eyes.

At the same time, he was puzzled.

He had clearly stopped the sacrifice, so why had the evil god still descended?

Clack, clack, clack!

On the Throne of Bones, the clouds parted, revealing a deep starry sky.

On the starry curtain, an enormous crack rapidly spread, like a shattered pane of glass.

Bang!

Accompanied by a tremendous sound of the void cracking.

Qin Yang only felt a gash tear open in his Mental Energy, and his head throbbed with pain.

And above the sky, a giant window had already appeared.

A monster covered in tentacles and eyeballs peered out from it.

“What... what is this?”

The Professionals had not yet recovered from the battle between Qin Yang and the Ice Heart Queen when they saw this indescribable entity.

Countless eyeballs simultaneously rotated and opened, and merely glancing at them made one’s scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over their body.

And this was only a physiological reaction.

The terrifying part was... the moment they met the gaze of those eyeballs, they felt a roar in their minds, and a torrent of information, like a raging flood, poured into their brains.

This information was obscure, difficult to understand, and incredibly complex, yet in the instant it flashed through their thoughts, it was deeply etched into their consciousness.

“My head hurts so much! I feel like my brain is growing!”

“So that’s it... My life is meaningless...”

“Is that... the end of the world?”

All the Professionals entered an abnormal state after meeting the gaze of the God of Truth.

Some laughed maniacally, others sighed in a trance, all displaying expressions as if they had “heard the Dao in the morning and could die in the evening.”

At this moment, within the entire Throne of Bones, only Qin Yang remained clear-headed.

Under the blessing of the Six Paths Spirit Eyes, no entity could pollute his Mental Energy.

It was just... the Throne of Bones now belonged to Qin Yang’s Domain and required his Mental Energy to sustain it.

The God of Truth’s violent intrusion into the Throne of Bones naturally caused him a considerable shock.

“If this continues, the Throne of Bones will definitely collapse, and my Mental Energy will also collapse. The chain reaction could even threaten the Human Emperor Domain.”

Qin Yang thought in his heart, about to deactivate this Domain skill, but was surprised to find that he couldn’t.

“It seems I cannot control the Domain unleashed by the Ice Heart Queen.”

Qin Yang pondered for a moment and immediately found the reason.

Although he had obtained the “Throne of Bones” Domain skill.

The current Throne of Bones was still unleashed by the Ice Heart Queen, and not under his control.

When he next cast the Domain skill, the Throne of Bones he unleashed would be a completely new Small World.

Only the one who tied the bell can untie it. Qin Yang turned his head to look at the human emperor banner in his hand and called out, “Ice Heart Queen, can you hear me?”

“Qin Yang?”

“I can hear you.”

“Where did you send me!?”

From within the human emperor banner came the voice of the Ice Heart Queen.

Qin Yang had no time to explain her current predicament and went straight to the point: “You are now my servant. I order you to deactivate the Throne of Bones skill.”

“Servant? So that’s it...”

Listening to the Ice Heart Queen’s tone,

She seemed to have already sensed her situation.

She was also a Professional; after being taken into the human emperor banner, relevant prompts should have appeared before her.

It just took some time to digest this fact.

But Qin Yang had no time to wait for her to slowly digest it and urged, “Did you not hear my words?”

The Ice Heart Queen immediately responded, “I can cancel the skill, but you must withdraw from the Throne of Bones, otherwise you might be annihilated.”

Qin Yang was stunned and asked, “What do you mean?”

The Ice Heart Queen explained, “The Throne of Bones has already been bound to you, and this current Throne of Bones was unleashed by me. Canceling the skill this time is equivalent to formatting and unbinding. During this process, everything in the Domain will be annihilated, including you.”

“Indeed.”

Qin Yang nodded silently.

This was consistent with his guess.

But he didn’t expect that the consequence of canceling the skill would be the annihilation of everything within it.

He himself was fine.

He could retreat into the Human Emperor Domain with just a thought.

But what about these contestants?

Were they to be annihilated along with the Throne of Bones?

“If there’s no better way, then this is the only option.”

Qin Yang’s gaze turned cold.

His goal was never to save this group of people.

Protecting them just now was merely to prevent the sacrifice.

If these people were destined for a calamity, Qin Yang would not feel any burden. The only regret, if any, would be Lin Mo, who had helped him.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Yang.

Since they are destined to die, why not... become officials in my human emperor banner?

“I think that’s feasible.”

Qin Yang’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Professionals below.

“It is I who have given you an opportunity to continue existing in this world.”

Thinking this, Qin Yang no longer hesitated. He immediately held the human emperor banner and waved it downwards.

Whoosh!

Gusts of 陰風 (Yīn Fēng, ghostly wind) blew out from the human emperor banner, transforming into a tornado filled with Evil Qi, sweeping towards the Professionals below.

Those people had already entered a trance-like state under the pollution of the God of Truth, and naturally offered no resistance to Qin Yang’s actions.

[Lin Mo, Level 32, Undead Monarch, has settled into the human emperor banner.]

[Amitabha, Level 62, Ancient Prophet, has settled into the human emperor banner.]

[Margaret, Level 47, Peerless Swordswoman, has settled into the human emperor banner.]

...In the blink of an eye, 623 loyal subjects joined the human emperor banner family!

Seeing that this method worked, a smile appeared on Qin Yang’s lips.

These people settling into the human emperor banner still had a glimmer of hope.

At least, he could take their Souls out, which was definitely better than being annihilated within the Domain.

As for the more than six hundred Souls harvested by the Pope, they were probably already sacrificed, otherwise why would this evil god suddenly descend?

Thinking that the evil god was still above his head, Qin Yang immediately said to the Ice Heart Queen, “Deactivate the Domain.”

After saying this, he moved his thoughts and retreated into his Human Emperor Domain... “That’s my husband, why won’t you let me get close?”

“Your Majesty has decreed that no one shall approach his Physical Body.”

Within the Human Emperor Domain, in the Bronze Sparrow Terrace’s sleeping quarters, six women were divided into two teams, confronting each other.

They all stood before the enormous dragon bed,

One team on the left, one team on the right.

The three on the right were Chu Mengxuan, He Zhiyi, and Ye Qiuning.

Before they entered the Human Emperor Domain,

They had thought it was just an ordinary Domain skill.

But after entering, they realized that this was not a Domain at all, but a Small World!

This space called the Human Emperor Domain was not only so vast that one couldn’t see its end with a single glance.

It also contained a massive complex of buildings!

From childhood to adulthood, none of the three had ever seen such magnificent architecture, whether in books or in images.

The key was that this Domain was not empty.

Maids and guards could be seen everywhere within the building complex.

When they entered the Domain, there were even special people to guide them, leading them to a palace.

The guide was a deer-eared demi-human with antlers.

She led Chu Mengxuan and the other two to a grand sleeping palace, saying that it was by His Majesty’s decree that they wait there for His Majesty to awaken.

Just as the three were wondering who “His Majesty” was, they saw Qin Yang sitting cross-legged on the huge dragon bed.

Chu Mengxuan and the other two instantly understood what was happening.

Before Qin Yang entered the Throne of Bones, he had stored his Physical Body in the Human Emperor Domain.

Just as they were about to approach, they were stopped by three beautifully dressed, stunning women.

The leader was precisely that fox-eared demi-human with nine fox tails and an extraordinary demeanor!
