279: Broken world

"Ye Su has left."

The Think Tank sent this information to the high-level officials of Great Xia and the leading Professionals of the five giant cities.

They basically knew the path Ye Su was following next.

That's why they spared no effort in transporting a large number of Spirit Stones to the Modu Research Institute.

With the four stars aligned, there might be even greater challenges ahead.

But they would have to handle those themselves.

Ye Su had already done enough to protect them.

Now, he was heading into the Universe to find a glimmer of hope.

---The Universe.

To Ye Su, it was a completely foreign place, and he was full of vigilance.

"Yo yo yo, don't be a coward!"

Lu Yiyi laughed.

This was the first time Ye Su had seen Lu Yiyi in the Universe.

She was indeed different.

If the Lu Yiyi on Blue Star was a normal human with outstanding looks, then the Lu Yiyi in the Universe was like a magnificent and noble Star God.

She wore special armor.

It was engraved with countless starlight dots; it had the aura of equipment.

But this kind of equipment seemed to have been upgraded to a very high-end level.

"Do you like it? Hmm... I mean the equipment."

Lu Yiyi said;

"I'll send you a list of Materials, hehe..."

After saying that, she sent the list of Materials needed for the upgrade directly to Ye Su.

When Ye Su saw it, his face turned dark.

Through the spirit net, the script could be converted into Chinese characters he recognized.

But when these characters were put together, he really didn't recognize them anymore.

After a quick search,

Every single material was priced astronomically!

You brat, are you here to flaunt your wealth?

"Because of the Golden Crow Incident, the Star Spirit Clan is expected to gain quite a few benefits, so the rewards from above have come down."

Lu Yiyi said;

"See, my Star Spirit Clan is very clear about rewards and punishments. So, are you interested?"

Tsk tsk.

Another recruitment combo.

Ye Su knew that Lu Yiyi wasn't recruiting for the Star Spirit Clan, but for herself.

She wanted to build her own core team.

"Didn't you say time is very tight?"

Ye Su changed the subject while observing his surroundings.

This was a planet.

It seemed like an ordinary life-bearing planet; even its planetary will hadn't undergone Awakening yet.

The Spiritual Qi in the air wasn't very dense either.

Furthermore, there were no other intelligent life forms on the entire planet, just Ye Su and Lu Yiyi.

"Where is this?"

"My personal territory."

Lu Yiyi said;

"Time is indeed a bit too tight; you delayed for too long."

"I'll send you the information on the Ruined World, you can look through it yourself."

"Also, this time you are assuming an identity from my Star Spirit Clan, so some things need to be agreed upon."

"Any gains are yours, but I have the right of first refusal to purchase them."

"Also, if you see people from my Star Spirit Clan, don't kill them; help them if you can. Otherwise, if people see it, they'll think there's an internal problem in my Star Spirit Clan."

Ye Su nodded;

"Those are small matters..."

"But, you're helping me like this just for a right of first refusal? That doesn't seem right."

Lu Yiyi snapped her fingers;

"Smart."

"This exploration mission actually involves the distribution of resources and competition among the Seven Great Apex Races."

"So, by wearing the identity of the Star Spirit Clan, you'll easily be targeted and hunted by other Apex Races."

"Danger and opportunity coexist."

"This Ruined World has many good things."

"For example—the ancient heavenly will!"

While listening to Lu Yiyi, Ye Su used the spirit net to search for what that was.

It turned out this was the heavenly will from before the Universe had formed its current Order.

Its characteristic was being ancient.

But its advantage was also being ancient.

When the ancient heavenly will bestowed Enfeoffment Cultivation Techniques for Ascension Level Two, one would receive special bonuses.

For example... Cultivation Techniques related to time.

The bonus was immense, helping to derive the true intent of time.

This value alone was incomparable!

"Alright, I've sent you all the basic information; you can take your time to read it."

Lu Yiyi said;

"The door over there is about to close."

"I'll send you over first. Remember, Ye Su, absolutely do not overreach. There are many Ascenders in the Universe at Ascension Level Two who can use the Heavens Will Strike, and some even possess even more powerful means."

"Don't die!"

Ye Su nodded.

It was indeed a bit rushed.

He would reflect on it slowly after entering the Ruined World.

Then,

A starry portal appeared.

Ye Su stepped directly into it.

Seeing Ye Su's figure disappear, Lu Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

She said softly;

"Send me back to the Universe."

In fact, this place wasn't the Universe; it was still the Frontier.

Lu Yiyi hadn't brought Ye Su directly into the Universe.

Instead, she brought him from Blue Star in the Frontier to another Frontier planet, mainly to prevent the environmental system of the Universe itself from directly impacting Ye Su's combat power architecture.

Although he could adapt quickly,

The Ruined World also had a Frontier architecture.

Switching back and forth would cause quite an impact.

So she simply went directly from the Frontier to the Ruined World; it was a thoughtful move to prevent fluctuations in Ye Su's combat power.

"Young Miss, you think so highly of this native?"

A voice rang out.

It was Lu Yiyi's Dao Protector.

"Think highly of him? No, I'm going all in!"

Lu Yiyi laughed;

"This person is different. On him... he has a Calamity Technique!"

The Dao Protector was stunned.

Then he bowed his head deeply.

Calamity.

A Taboo of the Universe!

But to break the current situation of the Universe, there was only Calamity.

---The Ruined World.

Ye Su appeared directly inside it.

And he wasn't alone.

Streams of light were constantly falling from the sky; each stream represented an Ascender.

Ye Su checked himself.

Heh.

Nothing was wrong at all.

Although he didn't know how this teleportation worked,

His condition wasn't affected.

"There are no rules in the Ruined World, and no Great Clans, which means I can kill anyone!"

"I'm definitely not the strongest, but—"

"This is all heavenly will!"

He let go completely.

After scanning the rules regarding the Ruined World, Ye Su's heart felt as if it had been released from a cage.

Blue Star had too many rules and things to consider.

Ye Su, who naturally favored violence, had been constrained.

But here— "Then what are we waiting for?"

Boom!

Ye Su suddenly burst forth.

He charged straight toward a stream of light.

Tyranny constantly surged in his heart; Ye Su had returned to his true nature!

"What the hell? Which race is that from? Don't they need to adapt first?"

Looking at that arrogant stream of light, many people complained in their hearts.

Going from the Universe to the Ruined World, one still needed a bit of time to adapt to the environment.

Who would start fighting right from the beginning?

However— Swish!

The long saber swept through.

A mangled corpse was thrown out directly.

Ye Su held a head in one hand, a smile appearing on his face.

Heaven Extraction Art activated.

Heavenly will.

Everything as far as the eye could see was heavenly will!

"Dammit, what kind of madman is this!"

In an instant, a large number of light streams scattered in all directions!
