Above the skies of Shanghai, Ye Ling and Ye You stood embraced, wordless.
The siblings had shared a telepathic bond since childhood, and in this moment, without speaking, they understood each other's feelings perfectly.
Their hearts were as one.
After their reunion, amidst the initial excitement and joy, Ye Ling began recounting his adventures on the Eastern Profound Continent while high in the sky with Ye You, his enthusiasm like that of a child.
Ye You, not to be outdone, shared her experiences of reincarnation, as if determined to outdo Ye Ling.
Their playful bickering was reminiscent of their past.
"Master!!!"
At that moment, Feng Ke, sensing Ye You's presence, flew from Ye Ling's villa to the skies above Shanghai, her excitement palpable. She rushed towards Ye You, interrupting Ye Ling and Ye You's conversation.
"It's you, little one..."
Seeing Feng Ke rush towards her, Ye You smiled, catching her and ruffling her head. She chuckled, "Little Ke, you've grown so much. It seems you've benefited greatly under my brother's tutelage."
"Is he really my Martial Uncle?"
Hearing Ye You's words, Feng Ke looked at Ye Ling with disbelief, her small mouth agape.
While her heart had already accepted Ye Ling as her Martial Uncle, hearing it from Ye Ling himself was entirely different from hearing it from Ye You.
Seeing Feng Ke's astonished expression, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, "Little You, look at the disciple you've taught. She shows no respect to her Martial Uncle."
"This girl has always been spirited since she was young. It's my fault for spoiling her."
Ye You said with immense happiness.
Ever since she had fallen into reincarnation and experienced countless family tragedies, she had never felt as happy as she did today.
Reuniting with her family was her greatest wish.
Her reunion with Ye Ling made her feel as if she had returned to the past.
The Heavenly Dao, witnessing the reunion of the Ye Ling and Ye You siblings, wisely chose not to disturb this heartwarming scene. It concealed itself, resuming its role in maintaining the normal order of the world.
Although Ye Ling had resolved the threat of extraterrestrial powerhouses, it was only a temporary measure.
As long as Ye You, who had inherited the power of the Creation God, remained on Earth, the extraterrestrial powers would eventually return.
Having learned from their previous failure, the extraterrestrial powers, upon their next descent, would bring an even greater crisis to Earth!
The Earthly Heavenly Dao knew it could not alter this fact. All it could do was to diligently search for hidden crises across the globe.
The moment any disturbance arose, it would contact Ye Ling, and together they would nip the crisis in the bud.
Although the Earthly Heavenly Dao still wished to drive Ye Ling and Ye You away from Earth, after cooperating with Ye Ling once, it had gained complete trust in his strength.
Since Ye Ling could not be driven away, the only option was to rely on him.
To contend with the extraterrestrial powers that could descend at any moment, Ye Ling was the Earthly Heavenly Dao's sole reliance.
After the Heavenly Dao concealed itself and Ye Ling and Ye You were reunited, they spent a few peaceful and beautiful days together. Ye Ling then took the time to visit the Immortal Realm and purify the Tongyou Pool, which contained countless Yin souls.
The sheer number of souls buried in the Tongyou Pool was overwhelming. If not dealt with promptly, it would eventually lead to significant problems.
Guided by Ye Ling, the lingering souls there entered the cycle of reincarnation, awaiting rebirth and a new life.
While handling the souls in the Tongyou Pool, Ye Ling also took the opportunity to survey the situation in the Immortal Realm. The celestial beings seemed completely unaware of the chaos in the Human Realm on Earth, continuing their lives as usual.
Although Ye Ling's temporal manipulation would affect the Immortal Realm, the celestial beings, unlike mortals, possessed profound senses. Among the hidden powerhouses in the Immortal Realm were Saints, whose perception of laws was far more acute than that of ordinary individuals.
They would undoubtedly have sensed Ye Ling's alteration of time.
However, these reclusive Saints, like all other celestial beings, showed no reaction to the external changes...
It was as if the senses of all celestial beings had been blocked.
Sensing that something was amiss in the Immortal Realm, Ye Ling inquired about the matter with the Heavenly Dao, hoping to find answers.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao, like Ye Ling, was unaware of what had transpired in the Immortal Realm.
However, upon hearing Ye Ling raise the issue, the Heavenly Dao also recognized that something was indeed wrong.
Perhaps the crisis had not been resolved, as they had imagined, with the destruction of the altar.
The Heavenly Dao, being a conscious entity that controlled the world's rules, viewed Earth as its domain. Nothing that occurred within Earth could escape its notice.
Yet, it had absolutely no knowledge of the celestial beings in the Immortal Realm being shielded!
Although this incident had not caused any severe repercussions, the underlying problem was extremely serious!
After discussing the Immortal Realm matters with the Heavenly Dao and finalizing their plan, Ye Ling returned to the mortal realm and brought Ye You back to Jiangcheng.
This was where their journey began, and now that they were reunited, it was only natural to return.
Jiangcheng, Qingzhu Pavilion, the most renowned private kitchen in Jiangcheng.
Ye Ling, accompanied by Ye You, had arranged to meet Su Ruoxue for a small gathering here.
"Brother, I remember you loved coming here to eat when you were little. I used to pester you to bring me along," Ye You said with a smile to Ye Ling as she sat in the private room, her eyes curving into crescents.
Although Ye You had long since become a master-level figure, in front of Ye Ling, she still acted like a child who hadn't grown up, occasionally bickering with him and sometimes relying on him.
"Yes... How many years have passed in the blink of an eye?"
Ye Ling reminisced about the beautiful and peaceful times of the past, a slight smile gracing his lips.
Alas, a family upheaval had rendered everything irretrievable.
Ye Ling suddenly recalled something and asked Ye You, "By the way, Little You, I remember Hongchen Pavilion cloned you. Qingmu and Ye Yi should also be considered your clones. But I didn't find them during the sacrifice ritual. Do you know where they went?"
Upon Ye Ling mentioning this, Ye You paused and shook her head. "I'm not sure either... Before I was captured by Xuanxiao, they vanished into thin air, and I couldn't contact them."
"I tried to find them, but I couldn't."
"Is that so?"
Ye Ling had a vague feeling that there was more to this matter than met the eye.
However, with his inner demons gone, Xuanxiao had also disappeared, leaving him with no one to question.
Ye You quickly regained her composure and smiled at Ye Ling, "Brother, we can investigate this matter later. Aren't we meeting Sister-in-law today? Why dwell on such somber topics?"
"The opponent's scheme was so vast, and their strength so immense, we can't break free in just a day or two."
"We must take our enemies seriously, but we also cannot remain tense all the time. We must relax when it's time to relax."
After reuniting with Ye Ling, Ye You had also learned from him that the power she inherited from the Heavenly Mechanism Diagram belonged to the Creation God.
Moreover, the enemies they would face were powerful extraterrestrial adversaries, unimaginably strong.
Just thinking about such beings made Ye You feel suffocated.
Hearing Ye You's words, Ye Ling chuckled and shook his head, "You're right. I've lived so many years, yet I'm not as insightful as you, little sister. You've grown this much, and I can finally rest assured that you can go out and soar."
Ye You: "Everyone has to grow up, Brother. You can't always be controlling me."
Ye Ling: "Haha! Of course, I understand that... I'm not a nanny!"
"..."
As Ye Ling and Ye You chatted in the private room, waiting for Su Ruoxue to arrive, a faint sound came from outside the room.
Both siblings fell silent in unison.
"Brother..." Ye You called out softly to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling nodded, his gaze sharp.
He called out loudly, "Friend hiding outside the door, would you like to come in and talk?"
