Ye Ling was extremely troubled. He hadn't expected to encounter such a major event the moment he arrived in the Chuyuan Realm.
However, since he was already here, Ye Ling couldn't return to the Primal Chaos.
Composing himself, Ye Ling walked back to the red-clothed loli who was now suppressed.
"What, what are you going to do?"
The red-clothed loli's pupils flickered with fear as Ye Ling approached. She struggled and questioned him.
She had been waiting for Ye Ling and the others to come, intending to devour Ye Ling's vital energy to compensate for her previous battle exhaustion.
But she never imagined that Ye Ling would be so ferocious, and she had kicked an iron plate with all her might!
Ye Ling hadn't even made a move, and she was already powerless to resist!
The gap in strength was simply too immense!
Ye Ling, at this moment, was too lazy to waste words with the red-clothed loli. He walked up to her, directly activated the Ink Domain, and decomposed the red-clothed loli into text to read her memories.
"The Crimson Robe Cult... specializing in hunting world consciousnesses?"
As Ye Ling read the red-clothed loli's memories, he gained a rough understanding of the entire situation.
The deceased green-clothed woman was named Zhu, the sister of the red-clothed loli Die. She had been chosen as the representative of the Chuyuan Realm's will three million years ago.
Although Zhu and Die were twins, Zhu had been showered with love from birth. Not only was she naturally beautiful and doted on by her family, but her personality, talent, and luck were all far beyond ordinary people, making her extremely popular.
It could be said that Zhu was a winner in life from birth, receiving all the favor from the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness.
As for Die, perhaps because Zhu had gathered all the virtues, the world needed to pursue balance, so all the malice was placed upon Die.
Die was born incredibly ugly. Not only did she have no cultivation talent, but she also had a violent temper and extremely poor health. Her body had stopped developing when she was eight years old.
Even more terrifying was that everyone around her inexplicably hated and distanced themselves from her.
Zhu and Die were like light and shadow; one enjoyed all the beauty in the world, while the other bore endless malice.
It was precisely because of this immense unfairness from heaven that Die grew to be increasingly jealous and hateful towards Zhu.
However, Zhu's cultivation progressed rapidly, while Die's cultivation remained stagnant. Even though Die hated and was jealous of Zhu, she could do nothing to her.
It wasn't until Zhu was chosen as the representative of the consciousness by the Chuyuan Realm's will, causing her entire family to ascend, leaving only Die behind, that Die was completely consumed by despair.
Subsequently, members of the Crimson Robe Cult found Die, who had been abandoned by the world, and took her to the void, cultivating her with the power of despair.
Die's cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds due to her boundless despair and hatred.
Until today... Die had cultivated to supreme power, returned to the Chuyuan Realm from the void, killed everyone in her family, and killed Zhu.
And the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness was thus taken away by the members of the Crimson Robe Cult.
Bai Lan, after reading Die's memories, couldn't help but complain, "This Chuyuan Realm's consciousness is too cruel! Even if he disliked Die, he shouldn't have treated her so harshly... Fate was already wicked enough to her, and then to give her a sister favored by fate... Anyone would turn dark in that situation, right?"
Ye Ling looked at Vivian again and asked, "What do you think?"
Vivian replied, "I also think the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness was a bit excessive. Die suffered too much malice; it's completely abnormal... Her entire life, apart from encountering the Crimson Robe Cult, there was nothing else that could be called fortunate."
Ye Ling said, "My opinion is the opposite of yours. Die suffering so much malice has nothing to do with the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness. Instead, it's very likely that the Crimson Robe Cult orchestrated it all."
"Ah?" Vivian was stunned. "Why? Didn't the Crimson Robe Cult save Die, who was in the abyss of despair, and give her powerful strength?"
Ye Ling: "But what if I said that the Crimson Robe Cult deliberately inflicted all the malice in the world upon Die just to give her great power?"
Bai Lan pondered for a moment and asked, "Master, do you mean that the Crimson Robe Cult knew long ago that Zhu would be chosen by the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness, so they kept inflicting malice on Die, plunging her into despair, and then at a crucial moment, they stepped in to save her, making Die their puppet to help them seize the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness?"
Ye Ling nodded. "Exactly."
Vivian: "How did you figure that out? Is there any evidence to prove it?"
Ye Ling: "This matter is actually very easy to judge. From the outcome... Die killed Zhu, and the Crimson Robe Cult took away the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness. The Crimson Robe Cult benefited the most."
"From the details, Die's life was filled with malice. Even her parents often wanted to kill her, and when dealing with matters between her and Zhu, they always leaned infinitely towards Zhu. Everything around her was deliberately comparing her to Zhu, constantly guiding her hatred towards Zhu."
"And from the most fundamental logic, the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness would not have personal emotions. Even if fate was unfair to Die, after Zhu became the representative of the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness, Die, as Zhu's blood relative, could never have been the only one forgotten and not ascended."
"The occurrence of Die being forgotten could only be the result of a third-party force interfering, deliberately severing Die's bloodline connection with Zhu and blocking the Chuyuan Realm's will's perception of Die."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Vivian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! I didn't expect the Crimson Robe Cult to be so wicked! Such malicious methods are extremely rare even in the dark side of the void; it's too terrifying..."
Bai Lan looked at Ye Ling. "Master? How should we find the Crimson Robe Cult? According to Die's memories, the Crimson Robe Cult roams the void, targeting world consciousnesses... They don't have a fixed headquarters, and now that they've succeeded in the Chuyuan Realm, they probably won't return, right?"
Ye Ling looked at Die, then at Zhu lying in a pool of blood, and after a moment of thought, said, "I might have a way to lure the Crimson Robe Cult back."
With that, Ye Ling removed the Ink Domain and used life and death energy to resurrect the deceased Zhu.
At the same time, Ye Ling reopened the teleportation channel connecting the Chuyuan Realm to the Primal Chaos and transmitted a message to the Primal Chaos consciousness: "Primal Chaos consciousness, something has happened in the Chuyuan Realm. Send some void origin energy over; I need it."
The Primal Chaos consciousness transmitted back unhappily, "Brother Ye... I asked you to help bring back void origin energy, how come you're already giving it away? Our own household is almost broke!"
Ye Ling said, "The Chuyuan Realm's consciousness has been stolen. In a short time, the Chuyuan Realm will head towards destruction. I don't care, but by then, you won't be able to get any void origin energy."
"The Chuyuan Realm's consciousness was stolen?" The Primal Chaos consciousness was shocked. "When did that happen? Who did it?"
Ye Ling: "Not long before we came to the Endless Cloud Sea. It was an organization called the Crimson Robe Cult. I want to use void origin energy to forge a new Chuyuan Realm consciousness to lure them back."
Understanding the seriousness of the situation, the Primal Chaos consciousness was not stingy and immediately said, "No problem, I'll immediately transmit void origin energy to the Chuyuan Realm. You temporarily take over the authority of the Chuyuan Realm's consciousness, and then you can use the void origin energy!"
