Ye Yun looked at them and smiled faintly.
"If you trust me, then leave Tianyu in my care. I will protect everything here as he instructed."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingluo nodded.
"Shencheng will continue to fully assist you and provide all the help you need."
From her words, it was clear that she wanted Ye Yun to truly succeed as the Lord of Shencheng.
Ye Yun did not refuse and smiled openly.
"Then, please guide me in the future."
Beside him, Luo Jiutian couldn't help but ask.
"What are your plans now?"
"That... I plan to advance to the God Tier first."
Although peak Emperor Tier was invincible in Tianyu, it seemed far from enough for the Great Thousand Worlds. He needed to become stronger.
Xiao Lingluo nodded and said, "Regarding this, we have prepared a place for enlightenment that can help you advance to God Tier."
In fact, the biggest difficulty in advancing to the God Tier was the forging of a divine spark.
With a divine spark already possessed, breaking through only lacked an opportunity.
This surprised Ye Yun.
"Really? When can I start?"
"Anytime."
Xiao Lingluo's answer was a bit beyond Ye Yun's expectations.
"Uh, now?"
"If you are ready."
Her words made Ye Yun hesitate.
He mainly thought of something.
"Let me ask in advance, how long will it take to advance to God Tier?"
Although he could start now, if it took too long, Xingwu and the others waiting on Moon Island would go crazy.
Therefore, it was better to confirm first. And as it turned out, his choice was correct.
"In terms of time, if you are quick, it will take one to two years."
"If you are slow, it might take decades or even a hundred years. It depends on your physique and comprehension."
In the path of cultivation, physiques vary, so breakthrough times are often different.
After getting the answer, Ye Yun felt a headache.
"It's going to take that long? Can I go back first to make arrangements before returning?"
"No problem, do as you wish. However, I must remind you to pay close attention to the time."
"Uh, what does that mean? Is time very tight?"
Ye Yun asked in surprise, then suddenly seemed to realize something, his gaze sharpening as he quickly continued.
"Wait, how much time is left until the attack predicted in the previous cycle?"
Xiao Lingluo paused and gave him a chilling answer.
"About three years and one month."
"..."
Ye Yun's pupils contracted. This answer was far beyond his expectations.
"There's only this much time left???"
It felt like being in Earth's 2009 and suddenly being told the world would end in 2012, an utterly surreal feeling.
But Xiao Lingluo's expression showed no sign of joking.
"Yes, so you need to reach the Star God Tier as soon as possible."
Three years to go from peak Emperor Tier to God Tier, and then traverse the nine realms of God Tier to reach Star God Tier.
In fact, in their eyes, it seemed impossible.
Even the most heaven-defying talents of the God Dynasty would be considered excellent if they could break through two or three minor realms in such a short time, let alone break through two major realms consecutively.
It was only out of trust in the former City Lord that they held a sliver of hope for Ye Yun, believing that the chaotic treasure could help him achieve it!
Understanding the urgency of time, Ye Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"I understand. Please allow me to go to the lower realm to make arrangements, and then I will come to attempt the breakthrough to the God Tier!"
Xiao Lingluo nodded slightly and replied.
"Alright, if you are ready, you can come here through the Gates of Shencheng anytime."
"Mm..."
Just as Ye Yun agreed, a girl's cheerful shout echoed from afar.
"City Lord, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"
As the voice fell, Ye Yun felt a petite figure, appearing from nowhere, dart into his arms and embrace him.
The speed was so fast that Ye Yun had no time to react.
When he looked down, he saw a little girl with dark red hair, wearing a gorgeous black dress.
At this moment, Luo Jiutian beside him chuckled.
"Little Ai, you woke up quite quickly."
"Of course! I've smelled the City Lord's scent since a while ago, I couldn't wait to come out!"
The girl named Little Ai revealed her pearly white fangs, and with her delicate features, her smile was sweet and lovely.
Her name was Chu Ai, but no one in Shencheng was fooled by her cute appearance.
Even Ye Yun, who had learned everything, knew how dangerous this girl was...
From the previous projection, Ye Yun had seen fragments about her, roughly that she was found in the void.
Even within Shencheng, she was the most mysterious, with no one knowing her origin or her many special innate divine abilities.
To describe her in a word, she was a yandere girl who was pathologically obsessed with those she liked.
It wasn't about strong possessiveness, but an intolerance for anyone who threatened him. Otherwise, she would enter yandere mode and kill the opponent with cruel methods.
And this very girl, whom the people of Shencheng called a little demon, had insisted from the beginning that Ye Yun take her as a disciple. Unfortunately, at that time, he had already foreseen the future destruction.
In the end, he reluctantly agreed to her, promising to take her as a disciple in the next life...
That's right, this was the little girl that Xiao Lingluo had mentioned earlier, who was destined to become his disciple.
"City Lord, City Lord! According to our agreement back then, you have to be my master now!"
Looking at Chu Ai's innocent smile, Ye Yun always suspected that she might pounce over and bite his neck the next second...
The terror displayed by Chu Ai in the projection was too great, making him very wary of her.
In his heart, Ye Yun cursed his past self. Why did he have to dig such a hole for me just because he died!
"Ahem, that Chu Ai..."
"Call me Little Ai!"
As if displeased with his address, Chu Ai started to act spoiled.
Helpless, Ye Yun relented.
"Alright, Little Ai, I'm just an Emperor Tier right now. I can't teach you how to cultivate and become stronger. Why do you insist on becoming my disciple?"
Don't underestimate her, despite her small size. Those who could survive the impact of reincarnation in Shencheng were all top-tier God Tier experts!
In the current situation, she could easily crush him, more so than Little Meng.
However, Little Ai didn't seem to care. She moved her little head and then grabbed his hand, saying.
"I don't know either. I just felt like I had to become your disciple the moment I saw you!"
She seemed to be truly thinking, and after a moment, she grinned.
"Perhaps we are destined to be master and disciple!"
