317: Chapter 318 The Time When Yin and Yang Meet

Although Lin Muyang clearly stated he would not personally manage the organization, its leader Xu Ruohan, the first batch of core members like Shen Muyao and the Gu sisters—which one of them wasn't closely related to Lin Muyang, or even speculated by the outside world to be his intimate partner? Being able to join this organization meant that through them, one could establish an indirect but stable channel of contact with Lin Muyang! This meant safety, future development potential, and even more so, the recognition of being included in the system!

For a time, from the veteran Nation-Guarding Level powerhouses of the Western Federation to the ascetic saints of India, from the guardian deities of the Nesia archipelagos to the reclusive masters of the Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand region... all over the globe, any top-tier existence with some confidence in their own strength and a desire to seize this opportunity could no longer sit still. They utilized all their connections to gather information about the World Guardian Organization, pondering ways to apply for membership and evaluating their own competitiveness. Countless encrypted communications traversed between continents, and without exception, the content was related to this newborn organization.

Lin Muyang's influence was displayed to the fullest in a way he had never anticipated. He didn't even know specifically who those big shots were—the ones racking their brains and worrying over their application eligibility—nor did he care to know. A single whim of his was enough to cause the pinnacle of the power pyramid across half the planet to shake and reorganize.

“Is this the right to speak brought by absolute strength?” Occasionally hearing some feedback from the outside world through Xu Ruohan, Lin Muyang only shook his head helplessly. His original intention for establishing this organization was truly simple: to find some reliable people to help him handle those trivial matters on Blue Star that might lead to disaster, allowing him to focus more on exploring the heavens and improving himself and the young ladies by his side. As for the subtle changes in the global power structure triggered by this, he didn't care at all, nor did he have any interest in intervening.

To avoid being disturbed by the swarming visits, inquiries, and gestures of goodwill, Lin Muyang soon vanished from the public eye. He delegated all the trivialities of preparing the organization to Xu Ruohan, while he himself took Alice, Gui Wanwan, and Feng Ling—who had just finished her Nirvana—and once again quietly crossed through a space crack, returning to the Atlantis World.

They had a clear objective for this trip: to calculate the specific timing of the convergence of Yin and Yang in the Atlantis World. This was the prerequisite for finding and approaching the plane core of that world.

Stepping onto this land under the purple-gray sky once again and feeling the chaotic yet active energy particles in the air, Lin Muyang's state of mind was completely different from when he first arrived. Back then, he was a cautious explorer and resource plunderer, but now, he was at least the City Lord of Stanro City, an honorary councilor of the Holy City, and a special existence who had gained a certain degree of recognition and cooperation from the local highest authorities. Naturally, his movements were much more convenient, and he no longer needed to be constantly vigilant like before.

Under Alice's guidance, they came to a desolate plateau far from any Floating City or known monster nests. Here, the sky and earth were vast, and the energy flow was relatively clear, making it easy to conduct precise perception and calculation.

“According to the memories of my bloodline inheritance, the moment when Yin and Yang converge—which can open the spatial passage to where the plane core is located—only occurs once a year in every world, and the timing is fleeting.” Feng Ling had a solemn expression, her golden eyes flowing with the glow of ancient knowledge. “Calculating based on the orbital and rotational cycles of the planet Atlantis, combined with its unique energy field characteristics... we will likely need to wait for quite a while. Perhaps a few months, perhaps longer. Of course, everything still needs actual calculations to be certain.”

She looked at Gui Wanwan beside her. The black-haired, black-eyed girl from the underworld nodded slightly to her, her cool little face filled with rapt attention.

The next moment, two forces of completely opposite natures, yet equally majestic and pure, rose from the two girls.

Feng Ling formed hand seals, and her body ignited with the warm and sacred golden-red Nirvana Fire. This flame was the ultimate Yang, containing the surging power of life, creation, and purification, representing the extreme of 'Yang.'

Gui Wanwan raised her fair hands, and a deep, ice-cold underworld aura diffused silently, as if opening a rift to the Nine Netherworlds. The rhythmic laws of death, silence, and reincarnation flowed slowly; this was the manifestation of 'Yin.'

With their minds connected, the two simultaneously guided their power toward the desolate earth beneath their feet. The golden-red Yang flame and the gray-black Yin energy were like living spirit snakes, winding and intertwining yet remaining distinct, finally outlining a huge, complex, and profound Yin-Yang Taiji Array on the ground! The array rotated slowly, with Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin, perfectly interpreting the supreme law of 'Yin and Yang assisting each other, the unity of opposites.'

This array, constructed from pure Yin and Yang power, acted like a precise energy sensor, beginning to produce a subtle resonance with the macro energy tides of the entire Atlantis World, the planet's pulse, and even the deeper hidden rhythmic laws.

Feng Ling and Gui Wanwan closed their eyes and focused, sinking their entire consciousness into the feedback of the array. They were capturing, analyzing, and calculating that moment destined to appear—the instant when the Yin and Yang forces reach perfect balance and resonance.

Lin Muyang and Alice stood guard quietly to the side, making no sound to disturb them. Time passed minute by minute; on the plateau, there was only the wailing of the wind and the heart-palpitating law fluctuations emitted by the slowly rotating Yin-Yang array.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Ling and Gui Wanwan opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

A flash of realization, as well as a hint of slight disappointment, crossed Feng Ling's eyes. She looked at Lin Muyang and softly spoke the result of the calculation:

“Master, it's been calculated. The next time the Yin and Yang convergence occurs in this world is in 132 days.”

“132 days...” Lin Muyang converted it to Blue Star time. “That's equivalent to four and a half months. It is indeed quite long.”

He looked at the Vampire girl Alice beside him, his tone apologetic: “It seems that if you want to use this plane core to break through to the God Level, you'll have to wait at least four months. Furthermore, that's just waiting for the opportunity; whether we can successfully approach and obtain the energy is still an unknown.”

“It doesn't matter, Master.” Alice stepped forward and naturally took Lin Muyang's arm, looking up with her beautiful face. Her blood-red eyes were full of tenderness and dependence, and her little tiger teeth looked exceptionally cute under the dim sky. “Actually, as long as I can be by Master's side and see Master every day, the God Level or whatever really isn't that important~”

“Why do all of you say that?” Lin Muyang intentionally put on a stern face and lightly tapped Alice's smooth forehead with his index finger, his tone carrying an unquestionable seriousness. “I hope you can all continue to grow stronger, stronger than anyone else. Because your strength is my strength—an extension of our collective power. Understand? I don't want my girls to have any thoughts of being content with the status quo or lacking ambition.”

“Ugh... I understand, Master!” Alice shrank her neck, her face slightly red as she lowered her head in shame, but her hand gripping Lin Muyang's arm tightened. “I will work hard! I definitely won't be a salted fish!”

“That's more like it.” Lin Muyang's expression softened, and he rubbed her long hair, his tone becoming gentle again. “I urge you because I hope you can all have the ability to stand on your own or even create a future, rather than just being protected under my wings. Of course, don't feel too much pressure; take it step by step.”

Since the plane core of the Atlantis World required such a long wait, the plan needed to be adjusted. Lin Muyang made a prompt decision: “We can only wait here for now. Let's go to the next world first—Lilia's hometown, the Elf Magic World.”

Hearing this decision, the lively and agile figure of the Elf Maiden Lilia involuntarily surfaced in Lin Muyang's mind. She was the first girl from another world he had summoned after crossing over. He still remembered their first meeting, which was full of misunderstandings and bickering. In the blink of an eye, so much time had passed, and Lilia had transformed from that initially awkward and wary Elf Princess into the clingy and sweet little darling she was today.

“Taking Lilia home to have a look...” An unconscious smile appeared at the corner of Lin Muyang's mouth, but then he rubbed his brow with a bit of a headache. He had abducted the Elf Race's princess for so long with no news whatsoever; in the Elf Race, Lilia was probably already listed as a missing person or feared to have met with misfortune, right? If he took her back this time, would they be surrounded by a group of furious and anxious elven elders, elven guards, or even the Elf King himself as soon as they appeared, staging a grand drama to take back the princess?

Thinking of that scene, Lin Muyang found it a bit funny yet a bit helpless. However, what must be faced must be faced. Moreover, he was indeed quite curious about that world Lilia spoke of—a world where dragons soared, magic was brilliant, and it was full of vitality and legends.

“I hope those elves are easy to talk to.” Lin Muyang muttered to himself, but his eyes had already become firm and expectant.
