Three light-years to the north, Ye Ling arrived at another desolate location, guided by the coordinates provided by the Upper Realm Shadow.
However, unlike before, the place Ye Ling came to this time was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, boasting beautiful scenery that was entirely different from the somber tone of the Chaos Battlefield.
Following the Upper Realm Shadow's instructions, Ye Ling descended into a secluded valley. Gazing at the picturesque surroundings, he couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected to see such scenery in a dim place like the Chaos Battlefield... Fascinating!"
The Upper Realm Shadow spoke, "The supreme powerhouse that the Upper Realm Lord and I jointly slew possessed the power of revival. Although her combat strength was somewhat weaker, her healing abilities were second to none in the Origin Upper Realm. Even though the Upper Realm Lord and I sealed her vitality, killing her consumed a considerable amount of energy."
Ye Ling suddenly inquired, "After you and the Upper Realm Lord jointly slew that supreme powerhouse, did the Upper Realm Lord then make a move against you?"
The Upper Realm Shadow nodded, "You are correct. Not long after the Upper Realm Lord and I killed that supreme powerhouse, the Upper Realm Lord seized the opportunity while I was still recovering and attempted to kill me."
"To think I considered him a brother, yet he was plotting to monopolize the Seed of Origin of the lower realm from the very beginning and had long planned to eliminate me!"
"Once I recover, I will definitely make that despicable fellow pay the price!"
The Upper Realm Shadow gritted his teeth, appearing to harbor extreme hatred for the Upper Realm Lord.
Upon hearing the Upper Realm Shadow's words, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, offering no further commentary. He simply asked, "Where is that supreme powerhouse?"
The Upper Realm Shadow replied, "The supreme powerhouse's corpse is buried within this deep valley. At the time, after the Upper Realm Lord killed me, he went to trouble Shan'e. The aura of both the Upper Realm Lord and myself lingers here, so dark creatures will not approach. As long as no humans come, the supreme powerhouse's corpse lies deep within this valley."
"Good!"
Ye Ling nodded slightly, wasting no further time, and stepped towards the depths of the valley.
Soon, Ye Ling spotted a colossal tree standing in the heart of the valley, surrounded by a carpet of flowers. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful.
Suddenly, Ye Ling felt a faint tremor within his small world, causing him to freeze.
Sensing something was amiss, Ye Ling immediately probed his small world. He saw that Bai Qing, who had been unconscious within his small world, was now radiating a green light, emanating an incredibly sacred power.
"This is..."
Witnessing Bai Qing's transformation, Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply. He then looked towards the massive tree and saw that the area beneath it was also glowing with the same green light as Bai Qing!
"Is A Yu's mother connected to that supreme powerhouse?"
Seeing the green light beneath the tree, Ye Ling's mind was thrown into turmoil, his thoughts in a chaotic mess!
He had initially believed Bai Qing was merely a pawn used by Shan'e to help him find a substitute and escape the ambush by the Upper Realm Lord. Therefore, after his reincarnation, he had paid no attention to Bai Qing lying dormant in his small world.
However, Bai Qing's reaction to the supreme powerhouse's remains now made him realize that things were far more complicated than he had assumed.
According to the Upper Realm Shadow, the supreme powerhouse they had slain possessed the power of revival, with healing abilities that were considered top-tier throughout the entire Origin Upper Realm.
Even the Upper Realm Shadow had managed to escape from the Upper Realm Lord. It wasn't impossible for that supreme powerhouse to have survived the combined ambush of the Upper Realm Lord and the Upper Realm Shadow!
If he considered this possibility, wouldn't Bai Qing then be that supreme powerhouse?
"That makes sense. Previously, Bai Qing wasn't even a Creation God, yet the medicinal formulas he created could benefit Creation Gods... I initially attributed this to Shan'e's efforts, but something always felt off... If we consider Bai Qing as the supreme powerhouse, then everything falls into place."
Ye Ling took a deep breath, suppressing his surging excitement, and walked towards the massive tree.
The Upper Realm Shadow was unaware of the changes occurring in Ye Ling's small world. Upon seeing the green light emanating from in front of the tree, he exclaimed excitedly to Ye Ling, "Look! That is the power of revival! The supreme powerhouse's origin inheritance is right here. I didn't lie to you, did I!"
"Wang Li Ren, hurry and accept the inheritance, then release me!"
At this moment, the Upper Realm Shadow was exceptionally thrilled. However, Ye Ling had no time to attend to him. He walked directly to the spot where the green light was emanating and began to dig into the earth.
A person identical to Bai Qing appeared before Ye Ling.
"It really is Bai Qing!"
Seeing the face of the supreme powerhouse, Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply, and his mind was deeply shaken!
While Ye Ling was momentarily stunned, the Upper Realm Shadow dropped all pretense and immediately activated the power he had hidden within the Upper Realm Bead beforehand.
Tens of thousands of light-years away, Tian Xing, who was holding the Upper Realm Bead, suddenly felt the bead become scorching hot. Subsequently, a wisp of black energy escaped from the Upper Realm Bead.
"What is this!"
Sensing the black energy seeping from the Upper Realm Bead, Tian Xing's expression shifted slightly. She attempted to capture the wisp of black energy, but it vanished from its location in the blink of an eye!
"This is bad!"
Tian Xing realized that something had gone wrong. Anxious, she quickly contacted Ye Ling while simultaneously pursuing the wisp of black energy.
In an instant, the black energy left behind by the Upper Realm Shadow appeared in the valley and, with extreme speed, merged into the supreme powerhouse's body.
Boom!
The supreme powerhouse's body immediately erupted with a torrent of black energy, and the surrounding green light visibly turned black!
Following this, the supreme powerhouse suddenly opened its eyes and directly shattered the rune cage Ye Ling had used to trap the Upper Realm Shadow!
Seizing the opportunity, the Upper Realm Shadow escaped and burrowed into the supreme powerhouse's body, laughing heartily at Ye Ling, "Hahaha! Wang Li Ren, you never expected this, did you? I still had a backup plan!"
"That Upper Realm Bead, from the very beginning, contained my hidden power. I was just waiting for this moment!"
The Upper Realm Shadow cackled, frantically absorbing the revival power to restore his own strength.
Boom!!!
The Upper Realm Shadow's aura surged at an unbelievable rate, reaching the realm of a Creation God in an instant, and it continued to climb!
"Ye Ling!"
At this moment, Tian Xing arrived belatedly. Seeing the Upper Realm Shadow's rapidly escalating power, her face turned extremely grim. She said to Ye Ling, "I'm sorry, this was my mistake. I didn't expect the Upper Realm Shadow to have a contingency plan hidden within the Upper Realm Bead."
However, Ye Ling was unconcerned about the Upper Realm Shadow obtaining the supreme powerhouse's body. He smiled at Tian Xing and said, "It's alright, the situation is still within controllable limits."
"The situation is still within controllable limits?"
Tian Xing was stunned, looking at Ye Ling with disbelief, and exclaimed, "Are you sure about that?"
Now that the Upper Realm Shadow had acquired the supreme powerhouse's body, it was only a matter of time before he regained his strength!
Once the Upper Realm Shadow's power was restored, they would surely be doomed!
Ye Ling merely smiled slightly, looking at the surging Upper Realm Shadow. He opened his small world and released Bai Qing.
Upon seeing Bai Qing appear, the smile on the Upper Realm Shadow's face instantly froze.
