Beyond chaos, there was only darkness, nothingness.
After Ye Ling broke through the end of time, he found himself deep within the darkness, unable to perceive anything of the outside world with his eyes or his divine soul.
It was as if nothing had ever existed beyond chaos.
"This… doesn't seem to be the primal chaos anymore…"
Ye Ling saw no trace of the Chaos Space-Time Beast around him. He looked back, and the rift at the end of time was rapidly closing under the power of the Primal Space-Time King.
"It seems the Primal Space-Time King wants to trap me outside forever…"
Ye Ling watched the closing rift in space-time without any urgency or intention to return immediately.
Although he was currently outside the primal chaos and could not perceive any space or time, he could still sense the Origin Script he had left behind in Tian Xing.
In other words, no matter where he was, he could teleport back using the Origin Script.
"The urgent matter is to find the giant beast that swallowed Bai Lan."
Ye Ling scanned the surrounding darkness, then began to condense his Origin Script to track Bai Lan's location.
He had previously used Mo Zhi Jian to decompose Bai Lan's inner demon and obtained all of Bai Lan's information. Now, he could use this information to track Bai Lan's true location.
"Outside the primal chaos, the power I consume using Origin Script is about ten times what it is within the primal chaos… It seems that ultimate moves like 'Customizing the Future' cannot be used outside the primal chaos."
Ye Ling discovered that using Origin Script outside the primal chaos consumed a tremendous amount of energy, and he could not supplement his energy from the surrounding environment. He decided to temporarily refrain from using Origin Script and instead use runes, which were slightly weaker in power and effect.
Fortunately, the consumption of runes outside the primal chaos was similar to that within, and Ye Ling's own strength was not significantly affected.
Having located Bai Lan using Origin Script, Ye Ling withdrew the Origin Script around him and instead used runes to condense a barrier, venturing into the darkness.
Outside the primal chaos was an unknown territory. Ye Ling had no idea what existed within.
Regardless of whether there was danger, it was always wise for Ye Ling to be cautious!
With the guidance of the Origin Script, Ye Ling found the Chaos Space-Time Beast outside the primal chaos without much effort.
At this moment, the Chaos Space-Time Beast had lost consciousness, floating in the darkness, completely merged with it.
If Ye Ling hadn't been able to locate the Chaos Space-Time Beast through the Origin Script, he wouldn't have been able to see it with his naked eyes or divine soul!
"Found it!"
Upon finding the Chaos Space-Time Beast, Ye Ling immediately flew before it and placed his palm on it.
The skin of the Chaos Space-Time Beast felt somewhat like liquid, and it was also a bit cold. The moment Ye Ling touched it, he heard a powerful heartbeat and Bai Lan's faint breathing.
"Bai Lan is not dead! She is inside this giant beast!"
Sensing Bai Lan's presence, Ye Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately imprinted runes onto the Chaos Space-Time Beast!
In the endless darkness, a large number of white runes outlined the colossal figure of the Chaos Space-Time Beast.
The gentle white light emitted by the runes was incredibly dazzling in the darkness.
"Bai Lan, bear with it for a moment, I'll save you now!"
After Ye Ling enveloped the Chaos Space-Time Beast with runes, he was about to cut open its belly to pull Bai Lan out when he heard Bai Lan's weak voice from within the beast: "Master… don't…"
"Bai Lan?"
Hearing Bai Lan's words suddenly, Ye Ling was taken aback.
Bai Lan said, "The Chaos Space-Time Beast represents the will of the primal chaos. I am the Daughter of Chaos, and I have now completely merged with the Chaos Space-Time Beast."
"You've turned into this dark giant beast?" Ye Ling's eyes were filled with shock upon hearing Bai Lan's words.
"Yes… 'Because my father is the Eighth Primal King, belonging to the side of the primal chaos will, the Chaos Space-Time Beast, which represents the primal chaos will, will not harm me. Instead, my power can quell the Chaos Space-Time Beast's rage.'
'It is precisely because of my special power that 'Brain' has always used me to suppress the Chaos Space-Time Beast. Over time… the primal chaos will has transferred its power to me, and I have gradually become the Chaos Space-Time Beast.'"
Bai Lan seemed to have recovered her memories and explained to Ye Ling.
"You… are the embodiment of the primal chaos will…" Ye Ling still found it incredible. "If that's the case, why did you warn me of danger when you merged with this Chaos Space-Time Beast?"
"The primal chaos has always been ruled by Overseers, and the primal chaos will has long been obliterated by the Overseers, leaving only pure energy to maintain the existence of the primal chaos.
'The Chaos Space-Time Beast, as the representative of the primal chaos will, had also lost its sanity due to endless years of suppression and sealing. When I merged with the Chaos Space-Time Beast, I couldn't control my power at all and would only indiscriminately erase everything in the primal chaos, restarting chaos.'" Bai Lan explained.
After Bai Lan finished speaking, although Ye Ling no longer had the intention to kill, he still remained suspicious, not ruling out the possibility that the Chaos Space-Time Beast was fabricating lies to deceive him.
The current Bai Lan seemed to sense Ye Ling's emotions and said, "Master… you don't believe I'm alright… but please give me some time. I'm severely injured and need to recuperate."
"Also, Master, your power here is too conspicuous and might attract some unknown things."
"Even if I die, I will be reborn in the primal chaos, but Master, you are different…"
Hearing Bai Lan's words, Ye Ling took a deep breath, then withdrew all his runes, allowing himself and the Chaos Space-Time Beast to sink back into the endless darkness.
It was as if no living being had ever existed here.
"Thank you, Master…" Bai Lan whispered weakly to Ye Ling, then fell silent, beginning to focus all her energy on recovering from her injuries.
Ye Ling stayed beside the Chaos Space-Time Beast. Seeing it return to a deathly stillness, and with nothing else to do, he tried to unfold Mo Zhi Jian to decompose the darkness outside the primal chaos, wanting to understand the basic situation of this place.
However, as soon as Ye Ling unfolded Mo Zhi Jian, he heard a beautiful and melodious song echoing in the darkness.
The song seemed to come from a distant shore, or perhaps someone was humming it in Ye Ling's ear. Ye Ling couldn't pinpoint the location of the beautiful melody.
"Who is singing?"
Hearing a song outside the primal chaos, Ye Ling immediately became vigilant. He retracted Mo Zhi Jian and instead used runes to conceal his aura, making him merge with the surrounding darkness just like the Chaos Space-Time Beast.
At this moment, Bai Lan's voice echoed in Ye Ling's ear again: "Master, be careful… the Singer among 'them' has arrived!"
