The watchers surrounding Ye Ling were all stunned when they saw him suddenly laugh.
One watcher asked in surprise, "Is this kid crazy? He can still laugh when he's about to die?"
Another watcher sneered, "Perhaps he's reminiscing about something pleasant? But I must say, this fellow can face death calmly, he's quite something."
The impatient watcher urged, "Let's stop chatting and finish him off quickly so we can get back to work. There are many disturbances in the universe I manage, and I need to return to clean up the mess."
With the urging of some watchers, the others wasted no more time. Lasers converged in their eyes, targeting Ye Ling, ready to incinerate him in an instant.
When Ye Ling realized that the destruction of the Three Thousand Universes was part of the benevolent plan, his mood instantly improved. He prepared to cooperate with the benevolent plan and shouted loudly to the watchers who were about to kill him, "Do you really think that after the Prime Benevolence died, you can easily kill me?"
"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the watchers couldn't help but scoff and mock, "You're about to follow in Benevolence's footsteps."
"That's not necessarily true." Ye Ling chuckled lightly and unleashed the aura of the Primal Wisdom King.
Boom!
A violent aura erupted from Ye Ling's body, sweeping towards the watchers and scattering the lasers they had gathered!
"The power of the Primal Wisdom King?"
The watchers exclaimed in shock as they sensed Ye Ling's aura, "Impossible! Didn't the Primal Wisdom King perish together with the Prime Benevolence?"
Seeing the watchers' reactions, Ye Ling roughly guessed what had happened during his unconscious period. He then smiled at the watchers and said, "Hmph! While you were watching from the sidelines, preparing to reap the benefits, you never imagined that I was also in the battlefield between the Primal Wisdom King and the Prime Benevolence."
"When the Primal Wisdom King was about to perish with Benevolence, Benevolence used all his might to erase the Primal Wisdom King's consciousness and bestowed the Primal Wisdom King's power upon me."
"Watchers, I have now inherited the will of the Prime Benevolence. Even though Benevolence is dead, I am still your enemy."
As soon as Ye Ling spoke, the watchers' expressions turned extremely grim, and they began frantically reporting the situation to their superiors.
"Damn Benevolence! Even in death, he leaves us with a malignant tumor!" A watcher present could no longer hold back and began to curse vehemently.
Before, they could have dealt with Ye Ling together, but after Ye Ling inherited the power of the Primal Wisdom King, the situation had completely changed.
Even if Ye Ling now only possessed thirty percent of the Primal Wisdom King's power, it was still the power of one of the Primal Seven Kings, something that they, the watchers, could not contend with!
In the ancient war against the Primal Seven Kings, they, the watchers, were equivalent to cannon fodder in a war of attrition!
Back then, they had completely overwhelmed the Primal Seven Kings with sheer numbers!
And now, with less than a hundred watchers present, they clearly couldn't overwhelm Ye Ling with numbers!
"Damn it! The situation has changed. Ye Ling's threat level has been elevated to the same level as Benevolence. Everyone retreat and wait for reinforcements to eliminate him!"
One watcher couldn't hold on and shouted to the other watchers, preparing to retreat.
The other watchers, realizing Ye Ling possessed the power of a Primal Seven King, had already entertained the idea of retreating and closed their eyes, preparing to escape.
However…
While the watchers were in shock, Ye Ling had been secretly preparing killing moves.
"Let's see how many watchers I can kill at the same time with my current strength!"
Seeing the watchers attempting to escape, Ye Ling merely smiled slightly and activated the rune cage he had hidden, trapping all the watchers within.
The next moment, the Devouring Domain and the Ink Dimension surged from within the rune cage, enveloping all the watchers!
"Not good! Ye Ling is about to use that move again! Everyone, break through the runes together!"
Upon seeing the Devouring Domain and the Ink Dimension appear, the watchers were filled with infinite fear. They knew what was about to happen and roared with all their might.
At that instant, the watchers combined their attacks on the rune cage, blasting a large hole in Ye Ling's cage. Those watchers who had not yet been controlled by the Ink Dimension scrambled to escape the rune cage and disappeared into the chaotic storm.
As the Devouring Domain and the Ink Dimension took effect, only ten slower watchers remained trapped within the rune cage, unable to escape.
"Alas… relying on traps, I can only ensnare ten watchers at a time. It seems I still can't fully unleash the power of the Primal Wisdom King."
Ye Ling looked at the ten watchers struggling frantically within the rune cage and sighed ostentatiously. Not expecting to gain any useful information from those watchers, he directly activated the Ink Dimension to modify their memories.
"Beep—!"
Self-destruct protocols were triggered, and a series of sharp, peculiar sounds emanated from within the watchers. Subsequently, all the watchers in the rune cage vanished.
As Ye Ling dealt with the watchers who hadn't escaped, the Primal Chaos became quiet again, with only the chaotic storm howling.
"Reinforcements from the watchers should arrive soon. Although my current strength is sufficient, I probably can't deal with an army of watchers. I should take advantage of this gap and slip away…"
"As for the secret of Benevolence's feigned death… I won't tell Tian Xing and the others for now…"
Ye Ling muttered to himself, intending to conceal the truth about Benevolence and the destruction of the Three Thousand Universes. He passed through the chaotic storm and arrived at the place where Tian Xing and the others were resting.
"Ye Ling!"
Tian Xing, who was healing Nuo Ying within the rune barrier, saw Ye Ling return and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
The heavily injured Nuo Ying also struggled to sit up and asked Ye Ling, "Are… are you feeling better?"
Ye Ling nodded slightly and replied, "I'm fine… Thank you, Nuo Ying."
"It's nothing… Saving you is also saving myself, after all, I don't have the ability to survive in the Primal Chaos." Nuo Ying smiled, then asked Ye Ling again, "By the way, now that your universe has been destroyed by the watchers, what should we do next?"
"I plan to temporarily settle in the Tianyi Universe to rest and recuperate," Ye Ling replied. "I just don't know if you, Nuo Ying, have any means to locate your universe."
Nuo Ying replied, "I can try… Before, I couldn't get out of the Three Thousand Universes and couldn't locate the Tianyi Universe. Now that we are in the Primal Chaos, I should be able to find the way home."
"Then I'll have to trouble you…" Ye Ling requested of Nuo Ying. "Although I can protect you in the chaotic storm, I can't find a universe where we can survive. If you can't do it, we'll have to wander in the chaos."
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Nuo Ying patted her chest, immediately sat down, and circulated her blood and energy, attempting to find the Tianyi Universe, which was connected to her by bloodline, within the chaos.
