657: Chapter 657 A Difficult Decision: Why Did They Come Back!

The Spirit of the Secret Realm continued its voice transmission to God Ning.

"I can manifest a super teleportation formation, but it requires consuming a massive amount of my own energy."

"Additionally, I have already consumed a certain amount of energy to open the defensive barrier, so I cannot teleport too far."

"Even if I force a teleportation, the person on the other side will be able to capture the coordinates immediately and arrive quickly by following the teleportation fluctuations."

Hearing this, even God Ning couldn't help but find the situation thorny.

Outside the barrier, a man and a beast watched like tigers eyeing their prey, waiting for the Spirit of the Secret Realm's energy to deplete so they could force their way into Blue Star.

They might not cause harm to the native inhabitants of Blue Star, but they would definitely take Li Dieyi away.

The relationship between Li Dieyi and Ning Tianyun went without saying; God Ning could not stand by and watch Ji Ronglin take her away.

But to forcibly step in and stop Ji Ronglin?

With God Ning's Star King Realm Initial Stage cultivation, it would be like throwing an egg against a stone.

He wouldn't even be able to block him for a moment.

Before a World Realm High-Rank powerhouse, even if Xu Zhan were here, he wouldn't necessarily be able to stop him.

"Su Yuan, Zhe Wang, you two better not come back at this time."

"Whatever you do, do not return to Blue Star."

Tomorrow was the end of the three-month period, and God Ning prayed silently in his heart that the two would not return to Blue Star.

"Spirit of the Secret Realm, is there really no way to stop that person?"

God Ning asked the Spirit of the Secret Realm via voice transmission again.

"There is."

"I just need to call my master here."

"But I cannot contact him; a connection can only be established if my master takes the initiative to contact me."

"However, Master hasn't contacted me for hundreds of years."

The Spirit of the Secret Realm's immature voice carried a hint of helplessness; it didn't know what to do either.

They simply couldn't win a war of attrition against the opponent.

The opponent was a World Realm High-Rank at the peak of his power; facing him with the strength of Blue Star was like the difference between heaven and a deep abyss.

Even hundreds or thousands of Blue Stars would be something Ji Ronglin could destroy with a flick of his finger.

The master of the Spirit of the Secret Realm?

This was the first time God Ning had heard of such a thing.

But none of that was important; what mattered was how to get past Ji Ronglin.

Outside the barrier.

Ji Ronglin was in no hurry; he knew the ones in a hurry were the world spirit and that Star King Realm Initial Stage Blue Star native.

He also had no intention of telling the others in the Youxin Sword Alliance that a descendant of the Li family was here.

He alone was enough to deal with her; there was no need for other World Realms to help.

The only current trouble was the defensive barrier of the world spirit, but once time passed and the energy was exhausted, the trouble would naturally dissipate.

God Ning turned to look down; except for him and the Spirit of the Secret Realm, no one—including 'Yuan'—knew about the Primal Chaos Beast's attack and the matter with Ji Ronglin.

The moment Teng Rong arrived, God Ning had isolated the aura of the sky at a certain altitude from the ground below.

'Yuan' had sensed God Ning's movements not long ago, but since God Ning handled it promptly, it didn't think much of it.

Afterward, God Ning continued to expand the range, blocking 'Yuan's' perception as well.

In 'Yuan's' perception, God Ning was still in the sky, but it didn't know what he was doing.

None of this concerned 'Yuan'; for 'Yuan' right now, reconsolidating a hunyuan crystal was the top priority.

Since it couldn't find a hunyuan crystal, it would reconsolidate one.

If there was no method to reconsolidate it, then it would create a method.

This was what 'Yuan' had been doing during its months of silence, or rather, it had started working on this a long time ago.

Once it successfully consolidated a hunyuan crystal, it would be time to start the final war.

It had to be said that 'Yuan' was highly talented and reasonably intelligent; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to contend with God Ning for hundreds of years.

'Yuan' wasn't as stupid as Primal Chaos Beasts like Teng Rong and Kong Dan, who charged headlong into Blue Star only to be easily wiped out by God Ning.

Primal Chaos Beasts like Teng Rong were the typical 'all brawn and no brains' type.

Time passed silently, and in the blink of an eye, it was twelve hours before Su Yuan was to leave Tianxing War Academy.

During this period, God Ning and the Spirit of the Secret Realm tried everything they could, but ultimately failed to come up with a countermeasure.

The Spirit of the Secret Realm tried countless times to contact its master, but there was no reaction; the distance between Blue Star and its master's location was too great.

So far that a deep sense of powerlessness grew in the heart of the Spirit of the Secret Realm.

God Ning looked at Ji Ronglin from afar; he was lying on an exquisite lounge chair, eyes closed, looking very leisurely.

Behind him, Yin Meng was massaging him with a fawning expression.

Ji Ronglin's presence was like a giant boulder pressing on God Ning's heart, and a sharp blade hanging over Li Dieyi's neck.

Another six hours passed.

The green body of the Spirit of the Secret Realm had dimmed considerably; it had racked its brains but still couldn't think of a way to stop Ji Ronglin.

Ji Ronglin's Realm was too high—World Realm High-Rank.

It had no offensive capabilities and could only defend passively; due to the restrictions of Blue Star, the defensive barrier could not last long.

Once the barrier vanished, there would be no way to stop Ji Ronglin, and it could only watch as he forcibly took Li Dieyi away.

Originally, the Spirit of the Secret Realm wanted to tell God Ning to just let him take Li Dieyi away.

But the Spirit of the Secret Realm knew God Ning would not agree to that, nor could he ever agree.

Suddenly, the Spirit of the Secret Realm's body gave an imperceptible shudder, thinking to itself that it could only resort to *that* method.

If that World Realm over there insisted on taking Li Dieyi, then it really couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

The Spirit of the Secret Realm's previous words were not a joke; it really was warning Ji Ronglin.

It was just that this method would not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Using this method would involve more than just falling into a deep sleep; the consequences would be countless times more severe than slumber.

But if it could take down a World Realm High-Rank powerhouse with it, it would be worth it.

Thinking of this, the Spirit of the Secret Realm did not tell God Ning what it was thinking, but continued to speak in its heart.

"Master, I hope that when you learn of my situation in the future, you will be able to avenge me."

"Master, Blue Star was able to produce a Genius like Little Yuan; you will be happy when you find out."

"Little Yuan, whatever you do, do not return to Blue Star."

"I have observed that this person's goal seems to be more than just Li Dieyi; he has another important objective."

"Besides Li Dieyi, only you on Blue Star are worth targeting; you must not return to Blue Star."

The Spirit of the Secret Realm could detect lies and could also discern details through the other party's expressions and speech.

Time continued to flow; there was only one hour left until Su Yuan's return to Blue Star.

God Ning looked at the increasingly faint body of the Spirit of the Secret Realm, understanding that this was a sign of weakening energy.

Sensing God Ning's gaze, the Spirit of the Secret Realm sent a voice transmission: "Don't worry, Little Saint, I have already made a decision."

"As long as the opponent dares to enter Blue Star, it will be the moment of his death."

"If this spirit doesn't show its might, he'll really think I'm incapable of anything."

"Little Saint, just maintain the status quo. The moment the defensive barrier dissipates, get as far away as possible and don't worry about me."

"I am going to use a great technique to fight him."

"He will definitely not be able to enter Blue Star!"

Hearing the Spirit of the Secret Realm's certain words, God Ning looked at it, wanting to speak but stopping himself, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

On one side was the Spirit of the Secret Realm, and on the other was Li Dieyi.

God Ning found it a difficult choice.

With little time remaining for the defensive barrier, God Ning's brow remained tightly furrowed; he had never shown such an expression even when facing 'Yuan'.

An hour passed, and God Ning's brow still hadn't relaxed.

Until...

Three figures suddenly descended upon God Ning's mountain peak.

Almost at the same time, God Ning and the Spirit of the Secret Realm looked down.

When they clearly saw the figures of Su Yuan, Ning Zhewang, and Xu Zhan, they couldn't help but freeze on the spot.

The man and the spirit both cried out in their hearts.

Why are they back!
