Witnessing all this, Tang San's face twisted in a ferocious grin. "Not bad, not bad!"
"Even more powerful than I expected! This method is feasible!"
"Hehehe!"
"I will create a world where everyone is an evil person!"
"At that time, Chen Qingling, what will you do! Will you kill them? Or save them! I'll be watching!"
Tang San spread his arms, his face overflowing with madness. "Feel my pain!"
"Feel the humiliation I've endured these past few years!"
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Sword Master, Bone Master, I'm leaving."
After resting for less than half a day, Chen Qingling recovered her soul power and immediately informed her two masters.
"Disciple, please be careful on the road." Although she knew her disciple was already invincible, Chen Xin couldn't help but worry.
"I know, Sword Master, don't worry too much about me."
"I'm leaving."
Wings sprouted from Chen Qingling's back, and she flew out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Watching Chen Qingling disappear in the direction she went, Chen Xin looked up.
"Disciple... the burden on your shoulders is growing heavier and heavier. The survival of the continent rests on your shoulders."
Gu Rong nodded. "Yes, our disciple has achieved so much at such a young age, the first in history!"
"I just don't know about the Spirit Hall..."
Chen Xin put his hands behind his back. "The Spirit Hall... my father died because of the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder. As far as I know, he was a six-winged angel, representing divine power."
"He should be able to withstand the power of the abyss and not be corrupted."
...
The Hall of Offerings.
"Grand Elder, the sky has been invaded by the power of the abyss." Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was urgent.
"I know, it's not like I haven't felt it."
"The angel statues we worship... seem to..." At this point, Golden Crocodile Douluo swallowed hard, not daring to continue.
He felt that the angel statues he had been worshipping all along seemed to be useless!
Otherwise, why would the sky above the Hall of Offerings be invaded by the power of the abyss?
"Golden Crocodile!"
Grand Elder Qian Daoliu reprimanded, and Golden Crocodile Douluo lowered his head guiltily.
"High Priest, I was wrong, please don't be angry, it's just that I feel... this shouldn't be the case."
Qian Daoliu squinted, looking at the sky outside the hall shrouded in the power of the abyss, his face full of worry.
"I will consult the Angel God's will."
Although the Angel God had been dead for many years, a trace of his spirit remained on the continent, so they could still make contact.
He just couldn't offer much help.
"By the way, how's Xiaoxue's progress?"
"Xiaoxue has successfully completed her mission and has become the top leader of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Qian Daoliu nodded with satisfaction. "Good, good, bring Xiaoxue back quickly, she can't be left alone outside any longer."
"Although the six-winged angels can restrain the power of the abyss, I'm still worried."
"Alright, I'll handle it personally."
...
Seagod Island.
The Seagod's protection wouldn't disappear just because the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent was severed.
High Priest Poseidon gazed at the pitch-black sky outside Seagod Island, her expression complex.
"What on earth has happened on the mainland? The sky has turned so black, it's eerie."
Tang Chen walked to Poseidon's side. "Should I go to the mainland and take a look?"
"Grandpa, you absolutely mustn't!" Tang Hao hurriedly said, sweating profusely.
He had barely managed to pull his grandfather back from the brink of death; if another accident happened, there would be no hope of saving him.
"The area outside Seagod Island is filled with evil, even more terrifying than the City of Slaughter. We absolutely cannot take the risk."
"We can only place our hopes on Tang San and the others."
Little did they know, the mastermind behind all of this was none other than Tang Hao's son, Tang San!
"Sigh, let's hope!"
Just then,
the Blue Silver Grass beside Poseidon and the others suddenly moved.
Tang Chen instinctively reached out, but was startled by the Blue Silver Grass speaking human language.
"Great-grandfather, father, High Priest, how have you been?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Chen looked at the Blue Silver Grass in disbelief.
"Tang San?"
"It's me. I contacted you, Great-Grandfather, remotely via the Blue Silver Grass."
"Good, good, Little San, you've come at just the right time! Tell me quickly, what exactly happened on the continent? Why is the sky shrouded in darkness?"
"Father, don't panic. This is your son's doing!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen's eyes widened. "You, grandson, are behind this?"
"That's right. Everything I've done is to target Chen Qingling!"
"Although it's a bit ruthless, as long as Chen Qingling is eliminated, I will restore peace and order to the continent."
His words sounded good, but Poseidon didn't see it that way. She sensed many problems in his words.
"Have you done something to betray the continent?!"
Faced with Poseidon's questioning, Tang San didn't deny it.
"So what if I have? So what if I haven't? As long as Chen Qingling is eliminated, everything is worthwhile!"
"As for how many people on the continent will die, I don't care at all!"
"Because they will be grateful for their sacrifice, and they will also have merit in eliminating Chen Qingling!"
Having had experience before, Tang San felt no burden in doing this, and even felt that their sacrifice was worthwhile!
Mainlander: Arminus!
"Grandson, you..." Tang Chen was shocked, never expecting such a depraved statement to come from his own grandson.
This was simply an absolute madman!
Even if Tang Hao wavered for a moment, they wanted to kill Chen Qingling, but they didn't intend to drag so many people from the mainland down with them!
"Third sister, you...you've gone too far!"
"Whether I've gone too far or not is not for you to decide. I'm only here to inform you that I want to use the power of Seagod Island to accomplish my great cause."
"Impossible!" Poseidon refused outright; she would never help a scoundrel.
"That's not up to you, Poseidon."
"Grandson! What are you doing!"
"Nothing, just looking for reinforcements."
Immediately, the sky above Seagod Island filled with abyssal power, triggering the evil deep within the hearts of everyone on the island.
Meanwhile,
Chen Qingling flew away from the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, heading in the opposite direction of the Star Luo Empire.
Approaching the borderlands, Chen Qingling felt uneasy, glancing down at the village below.
At first glance, a group of villagers were huddled together, shoulder to shoulder, seemingly ready to fight.
"Strange..."
"In this situation, everyone should be united against the external forces. Why is this village fighting amongst themselves?"
Chen Qingling was completely baffled.
Logically, every place on the continent should be aware of the current situation and united to resist the abyssal power.
However, this village was still fighting amongst themselves, seeming out of place.
Chen Qingling frowned. Why would such a thing happen in a perfectly good village?
She couldn't understand.
Could it be the power of the abyss?
This thought was immediately cut off by Chen Qingling.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
If it were truly the influence of the abyss, she should have become a monster, neither human nor ghost, but the current situation was completely different.
"What exactly happened here?" Chen Qingling felt genuinely puzzled.
Far away in a thatched hut in the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Shenge heard a heavenly voice in her mind.
[Ding! Detected that the cultivation subject Chen Qingling has encountered a problem!]
Chen Shenge's eyes narrowed slightly, and she stood up from her lazy chair.
"The girl has encountered another problem?"
It's rare to find a problem that can stump a daughter these days!
Immediately, Chen Shenge connected with his daughter in his mind.
"Little girl, are you having trouble? Just tell Daddy."
Hearing her father's voice in her mind, Chen Qingling's eyes lit up.
That's right!
She still had her all-knowing and all-powerful father!
When in doubt, she'd go to her father!
"Yes, Daddy, I've encountered something very strange."
"I went to a village and found that the people here are in fierce conflict, a serious fight has broken out, and it almost resulted in death."
"I have a feeling... something's not right. It doesn't seem like the work of the Abyss's power; I haven't sensed any trace of it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shenge immediately opened the Heavenly Screen to investigate.
What he saw shocked him.
The villagers, who should have been simple and honest, all had fierce and menacing faces.
Seeing this, Chen Shenge frowned, his left hand supporting his chin.
This was the first time he had seen such a situation, and it was indeed as his daughter said—inconsistent with the power of the Abyss.
"Strange…"
"How could the villagers suddenly become so evil? A few bad ones are understandable, but the whole village has turned into villains."
"There must be something fishy going on, but it's not visible to the naked eye."
Chen Shenge muttered to himself, communicating with the system, "System, what's going on?"
"Just tell me how many points you want, I don't care about a little."
[Ding! Automatically consumed 300 points to exchange for information!]
[Ding! The villagers here have all been affected by the evil within them, or rather, the dark side.]
"Dark side?"
Upon hearing this term, Chen Shenge immediately thought of the dark Qian Renxue in Qian Renxue's divine trial.
"Could there be some connection?"
"No, that was Qian Renxue's divine trial, ordinary people shouldn't have that…"
[Ding! The villagers' dark side was triggered by the power of the abyss!]
Chen Shenge's pupils shrank slightly, "Abyssal power again."
As long as it's abyssal power, then all the problems are solved.
"Can my daughter be purified?"
[No, this is evil within human nature, not the power of the abyss!]
"Evil within human nature... won't it affect my daughter?"
[No!]
With the system's explanation, Chen Shenge's heart settled.
He was afraid it would affect his daughter.
Thankfully, it wouldn't!
Immediately, Chen Shenge relayed the system's words to his daughter.
Chen Qingling looked furious, clenching her fists. "Damn it! It's that wicked abyssal power again! I can't purify it!"
"What should I do!"
Chen Qingling gritted her teeth, momentarily losing her composure.
Was she just going to watch helplessly? Couldn't she save the innocent villagers?
If she was truly powerless against the current situation, what would she do in the future?
"Father, do you know of any way to deal with this?"
"I... I don't want the people I care about to have their evil within them induced by the abyssal power."
Chen Shenge fell silent.
[Ding! The mini version of the Goddess of Light Butterfly, the subject of your cultivation, Chen Qingling, can provide protection! There is no other way!] "
Sigh!"
"Then we can only capture the leader first!"
With that, Chen Shenge relayed the system's words to his daughter.
Chen Qingling nodded slightly, "I understand, thank you for telling me, Father!"
She gazed at the villagers before her, her eyes filled with deep reluctance.
Chen Qingling truly couldn't abandon them.
Her heart was in turmoil, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and sighed deeply.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you..."
Far away in Holy Soul Village, Tang San, seeing this scene, laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha!"
"Chen Qingling, you've finally met your match! You, who have never suffered a loss before, have finally suffered one!"
"This is truly gratifying!"
"I love seeing you unable to do anything, I love seeing everything you care about being taken away little by little!"
"Hahahaha!"
However, the next second, Tang San's smile vanished abruptly, unable to laugh anymore.
It was because he saw that Chen Qingling had actually left behind a miniature version of the Goddess of Light Butterfly for the village.
"Zhao, didn't she say she had no solution? How come she suddenly has one?"
Suddenly, Tang San thought of someone he had never met before!
It could be Chen Qingling's father!
All along, no matter what happened, Chen Qingling's father had always been there to protect her!
Tang San felt envious, jealous, and resentful about this.
Damn it!
Why is Chen Qingling's father so powerful!
And his own father is so incompetent!
Tang Hao: You are truly my filial son!
Just as Tang San said, upon seeing her daughter's sadness, Chen Shenge couldn't bear it and immediately spent several hundred points to resolve the situation.
"Hehehe, Daddy, you're so good."
"Who told me I only have you as my daughter? If I don't spoil you, who will I spoil?"
"Daddy loves you~"
Afterwards, Chen Qingling flew non-stop to the Star Luo Imperial City.
Her grand arrival naturally attracted the attention of the Star Luo Emperor.
"Chen Qingling, you…you dare to come to my Star Luo Empire's palace? What do you want to do?" The Star Luo Emperor was shocked and terrified.
Chen Qingling's strength is unfathomable, far beyond what their small Star Luo Empire can match.
If she truly wanted to settle scores later, the Star Luo Empire would likely cease to exist.
Seeing the cowardly Star Luo Emperor, Chen Qingling's eyelids twitched, and she cut to the chase, too lazy for pleasantries.
"I'm here for no other reason than to fulfill Zhu Qing's request."
Mentioning Zhu Zhuqing, the Star Luo Emperor's heart skipped a beat.
It's over!
Barbie Q is gone!
The Star Luo Empire's fate is sealed in his hands; he has failed his ancestors!
"Can you spare our Star Luo Empire? Whatever Chen Qingling and Zhu Zhuqing want, the Star Luo Empire will grant it."
Chen Qingling's lips twitched; clearly, the Star Luo Emperor had misunderstood her, thinking she was going to settle scores later.
"You're overthinking it. Zhuqing only asked me to look after the Star Luo Empire, not to let you become inhuman monsters."
The Star Luo Emperor's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Really?"
"Are you serious?"
Chen Qingling was speechless. He was the highest representative of an empire, yet he was behaving like an ordinary person.
She didn't bother with further words, transforming a third of her soul power into a miniature version of the Goddess of Light Butterfly.
"Keep this safe. It can protect your Star Luo Empire and ensure it is not corrupted by the power of the Abyss."
"Very good, very good." The Star Luo Emperor happily accepted the miniature version of the Goddess of Light Butterfly. "I thank you on behalf of the people of the Star Luo Empire."
"Uh…this item can only protect your royal family and the Zhu family at most; it cannot protect the borders of the Star Luo Empire."
"Haha…I still have to thank you." The Star Luo Emperor bowed in gratitude, completely lacking the demeanor of an emperor.
