As Zi You disappeared, the entire void returned to calm.
Ye Ling stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the spot where Zi You had vanished, his senses slow to return.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire waited for Ye Ling for a while before finally losing patience. It said to Ye Ling, "Kid, they're already long gone, what are you still staring at? Why don't you just attach your eyes to them?"
Ye Ling snapped back to reality and said to the World-Ending Spirit Fire, "You're just jealous because I've gained immense power, aren't you?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire cursed, "I, the dignified World-Ending Spirit Fire, need to be jealous of you?"
"You're clearly jealous, no need to hide it."
Ye Ling chuckled, teasing the World-Ending Spirit Fire. Without waiting for its retort, he continued, "Let's not argue about this. Since we've returned to the main timeline, let's go back to the domain. I want to see what era Earth is in now, and also see Xiao You."
Although the main timeline had undergone reincarnation, given the current situation, Ye You and Su Ruoxue should still exist, merely having gone through another cycle of reincarnation.
However, it was unclear whether Ye You and the others had been born.
Seeing Ye Ling mention Earth, the World-Ending Spirit Fire asked him, "Kid... I'm very curious now, is there another you on Earth? After all, you are now independent of the river of time. Logically, in countless timelines, you should be the only one. But if there's no you on Earth, then how can the main timeline be considered a cycle of reincarnation?"
Ye Ling replied, "We just flew out of chaos. If my guess is correct, before we emerged from chaos, there should have been another me on Earth. After I came out, that other me also disappeared. This also means the cycle has been broken."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "Your explanation makes sense. Let's hurry! I can't wait to go back!"
"Back then, we were chased like dogs by the Lord of Remnant Evil, constantly fleeing, nearly perishing several times, in a sorry state... But now, we can chase the Lord of Remnant Evil like dogs!"
Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, saying, "Look at your ambition. Don't forget, our enemy isn't just the Lord of Remnant Evil. The Lord of the Upper Realm is still alive and well. I have no idea what calamities we'll face in the future."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire declared, "Who cares about future floods and ferocious beasts? As long as we two brothers are united, we can defeat anything! Isn't it just a Lord of the Upper Realm? If you let him come here, I'll beat him to a pulp!"
Ye Ling laughed, "When did you become so confident? You dare to fight the Lord of the Upper Realm?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire retorted, "Just talking big! Indulging my desires, who doesn't have a dream?"
Ye Ling burst into laughter, "Haha... You're becoming more and more spirited! But you're right, slaying the Lord of the Upper Realm is our dream, and I believe our dream will surely come true one day!"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire affirmed, "That's right!"
As he conversed with the World-Ending Spirit Fire, Ye Ling tore open the void, passed through the cosmic barrier, and flew towards Earth!
Earth, Jiang City.
Ye Ling stood high in the sky, looking at the bustling city below. He said, "It seems the time we've arrived at is about six years after I transmigrated to the East Profound Continent. Although the timing is a bit early, it's still acceptable."
"At this point in time, the Li family still occupies my Ye family's assets, and Xiao You is still entangled in a cycle with Ye Feng. Well... I'll help Xiao You break free from the cycle first."
Ye Ling muttered to himself, quickly deciding on his next course of action. He returned to his family's estate, eliminated the Li family father and daughter, and reclaimed the Ye family's assets. At the same time, he found Ye You in the Snow Hidden Valley and brought her back to the estate, severing her life-bound contract with Ye Feng.
Afterward, Ye Ling used his great divine abilities to extract Ye You from the grand reincarnation of the main timeline, allowing her to regain the memories of her previous life.
"Brother, this is..."
Ye You, having recovered all her memories, was still in a state of shock. She looked at Ye Ling with disbelief, not understanding what was happening.
Ye Ling did not hide anything from Ye You, telling her everything he knew.
After listening to Ye Ling's account, Ye You's mind went blank for a long time before she finally reacted and asked Ye Ling, "So... the conflict between Good and Evil and the Lord of the Upper Realm caused the main timeline to continuously cycle, and you, Brother, broke free from the identity of the Chosen One at the last moment, jumping out of the cycle, and then helped me jump out as well?"
Ye Ling nodded, "My sister is indeed smart, catching on instantly, unlike a certain ball of fire."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire angrily retorted, "Kid, who are you subtly insulting?"
Ye You still found it incredibly unbelievable, saying, "This amount of information is just too overwhelming, give me a moment to process..."
Just moments ago, she was desperately searching for a way to break the life-bound contract with Ye Feng. Now, her brother, who should have died in a fire, had suddenly appeared, possessing power beyond that of a creation god. He had effortlessly resolved her greatest tribulation and brought her out of the cycle with him.
Ye You considered her own experiences to be quite extensive, but compared to Ye Ling, it was like a small stream meeting a vast ocean.
Seeing that Ye You was unable to accept it immediately, Ye Ling found it normal. He continued, "Xiao You, this information is indeed overwhelming, and it's normal for you to be unable to accept it all at once. However, I may face greater challenges ahead, and I won't be able to attend to other matters then."
"And the one I worry about the most is you, so I had to bring you out of the cycle in advance and tell you these things, so you know the truth."
Ye You pursed her lips and said to Ye Ling, "Although I still can't fully comprehend what you've been through, Brother, please rest assured, I will absolutely not cause you any trouble."
Ye Ling chuckled, "Whether you cause trouble or not isn't just about words. With your current cultivation, you won't even have the power to protect yourself in the upcoming calamities. How can I be at ease?"
Ye You asked, "So what are you going to do, Brother?"
Ye Ling replied, "I'm going to give you some special training."
With that, Ye Ling transferred all his knowledge of runes and the cultivation system of the逍遥仙 (Xiaoyao Xian) into Ye You's mind. Simultaneously, he created an independent space with an entrance and exit for Ye You. He said, "Xiao You, I've set up the Unnamed Void Realm within this independent space, and I've also left my spiritual energy source there, providing inexhaustible spiritual energy."
"From now on, you will cultivate diligently in the independent space I've created, and only emerge after you become a 逍遥仙."
"Brother, wait... this knowledge is simply..." Ye You felt the vast knowledge flooding her mind and was utterly shocked.
Even though the knowledge Ye Ling imparted to her contained a large amount of his own annotations, Ye You still felt like she was reading a celestial scripture at a glance.
Everything was beyond her imagination!
Ye You murmured, "Brother... you want me to learn these celestial scriptures, are you serious?"
Ye Ling chuckled, "Everything takes time... Don't worry, the flow of time within is different from the outside. By the time you emerge after completing your cultivation, there will be no change in the outside world... And I've left you an exit. If you get bored inside, you can also come out for a stroll and get some fresh air."
"And now, you should go cultivate!"
As his voice fell, Ye Ling didn't wait for Ye You's objection and directly sent her into the independent space, closing the exit!
Seeing Ye Ling send his own sister into the empty independent space just like that, the World-Ending Spirit Fire couldn't help but exclaim, "Kid, are you that heartless? That's your own sister! You're really willing to send her in like that?"
"There's nothing in that independent space, aren't you afraid she'll be lonely?"
"Don't worry, she's my sister, she'll definitely get through it."
Ye Ling smiled, then remembered something and clapped his hands, "Oh right... I almost forgot someone!"
With that, Ye Ling released A Yu and Ding Dang from his small world. Without waiting for A Yu to speak, he sent both of them into the independent space!
The World-Ending Spirit Fire looked speechlessly at Ye Ling's actions, unable to describe his feelings. In the end, he could only give Ye Ling a thumbs-up and say, "You're truly ruthless!"
