Chapter 1758 Choice!
The phantom's gaze pierced through space, as if glimpsing fragments of the distant future:
"The Abyss Shadow Council has issued a warrant for their arrest several days ago, and their vanguard will arrive in the Blue Star Region in three days."
"The messengers of the ancient temple are also observing in secret; they are determined to obtain the portal to the ancient land of origin."
Ye Chuyun's pupils contracted slightly.
Three days!
It was faster than he had expected.
"Since you know this, senior, what advice do you have?" he asked in a deep voice.
After a moment of silence, the Void Profound Saint slowly said, "I will give you two choices."
"First, I'll step in and solve these two problems for you."
“I cannot kill that half-step Nirvana cultivator from the Abyss Shadow Council. Killing him would trigger a full-scale backlash from the forces behind him, which would be a catastrophe for the Blue Star Region.”
"But I can warn him that he won't dare to set foot in the Blue Star Domain for a year."
"I can also negotiate with the Ancient Temple to prevent them from interfering in the Ancient Land of Origin."
Ye Chuyun was immediately startled.
The temptation is too great for a saint to personally vouch for.
But Ye Chuyun did not agree immediately.
He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
“And the price?” he asked.
The Void Profound Saint seemed to smile: "The price is that you cannot leave the Blue Star Region for the next year."
"I will place a mark on you. As soon as you step out of the Blue Star Domain, the mark will be triggered, and my protection will immediately become ineffective."
"At the same time, this year you must devote all your efforts to developing the Blue Star Domain and building it to at least the level of a medium-sized world. This is my condition."
Ye Chuyun frowned slightly.
Can't leave for a year?
He knew that the Void Profound Saint had no other intentions and probably just wanted to protect him.
After all, the Void Profound Saint could only guarantee that the Abyss Shadow Council wouldn't come in; it didn't mean that if he left the Blue Star Domain, they wouldn't come knocking on his door.
What's the difference between this and a turtle hiding its head?
More importantly, this meant that he had completely entrusted his fate to the saint's protection.
This is not the path he wants.
“What’s the second option?” he asked.
The Void Profound Saint had anticipated this, and continued, "The second option is for me to buy you time."
“I can hold off those people from the Shadow Council and the Ancient Temple for three months.”
"During this period, they will not pose a substantial threat to the Blue Star Region."
"But the price is..." Sage Kongxuan's tone became serious, "After this, I will no longer intervene. Whether it is a half-step Nirvana cultivator personally coming or the army of the Ancient God Temple pressing in, you will have to face it yourself."
"The most you can do is try to get is three months."
"Three months from now, the true main force of the Shadow Council will arrive, and the Ancient Temple will lose patience."
"In these three months, you need to grow to the point where you can stand up to them, or at least have the ability to make them wary."
Ye Chuyun fell silent.
Two choices, two paths.
The first path: a year of peace and stability, but loss of freedom.
The second option offers only three months; life or death is entirely up to the individual.
He didn't hesitate for long.
"I choose option two." Ye Chuyun raised her head.
"What I wanted was never shelter."
The Void Profound Saint was not surprised.
There may seem to be two choices, but there is only one choice in the end.
"Very good." A hint of approval flashed across the blurred face of the Void Profound Saint.
"Then, the agreement for March is hereby made."
"Within three months, if the people of the Abyss Shadow Council cannot find the Blue Star Region, the Ancient God Temple will also abandon the Ancient Land of Origin."
"They will truly arrive three months from today."
"It's up to you."
Ye Chuyun took a deep breath: "Thank you, senior."
Sage Kongxuan waved his hand: "No need to thank me. Helping you is also helping the Blue Star Region."
"A world that only relies on the protection of saints can never truly rise."
"If you can defeat the powerful enemy on your own, it will be a great encouragement to all the trial participants in the Blue Star Region."
Ye Chuyun nodded, then suddenly remembered something.
He took out the four fragments of the Monument of Annihilation from his robes.
The fragments hovered in the palm of his hand, emanating an ominous, grayish-black aura.
"Holy One, what do you know about these fragments?"
The Void Profound Saint's gaze fell on the fragments, and he remained silent for a long time.
When Ye Chuyun thought he wouldn't answer, he finally spoke slowly:
"No wonder those people from the Shadow Council are so persistent in pursuing you; it turns out it's because of this."
"It is neither a stone tablet nor a magic weapon; it is a seal."
Ye Chuyun's heart skipped a beat: "Seal what?"
"I don't know." Sage Kongxuan shook his head.
"The Monument of Annihilation consists of nine pieces, each guarding one of the nine vital points of a certain being. If all nine pieces can be collected, the seal can be broken and that being can be released."
"What is existence?"
"Is he a human? Or a god?" Ye Chuyun pressed.
The Void Profound Saint fell silent again, this time for an even longer period.
"I don't know." His voice carried a rare hint of seriousness.
"But what I do know is that the being that the ancient gods were willing to split the world to seal away could not be a benevolent being."
"There are only two possibilities for why the Shadow Council is so obsessed with collecting the fragments."
"First, they want to release that being and attempt to control it."
"Secondly, they are believers in that being, and they collect the fragments to welcome the return of that being."
Ye Chuyun felt a chill run down her spine.
Regardless of the possibility, it means that once the Monuments of Annihilation are all gathered, there will be a catastrophe that will sweep across the heavens.
“Then these fragments of mine.” He looked at the four pieces in his palm.
"Keep it safe," said the Void Profound Saint solemnly.
"Don't let them fall into the hands of the Shadow Council. The more fragments there are, the greater their chance of breaking the seal."
"At the same time, we must also be careful of these fragments themselves, as they may contain the aura of that being, and long-term contact may subtly influence us."
Ye Chuyun quickly retrieved the fragments into her storage space and wrapped them layer by layer with the suppressing power of the Eight-Part Pagoda.
"Well, is there any other problem?" asked the Void Profound Saint.
Ye Chuyun shook her head: "No, thank you for your explanation, senior."
"By the way, what have you all been busy with lately?"
The Void Profound Saint replied quickly this time: "We are researching the location of the next sealed object, and we may have some clues soon."
"We'll have to rely on you then."
"Before that, make sure you don't level up too quickly."
"Do you remember what I said before?"
Ye Chuyun nodded quickly: "I remember, there are level restrictions for touching sealed items."
He never forgot that the person who obtained the sealed item had to be below level five.
His current level is 5; he can't go any higher.
This is also why he has been slow to upgrade.
With his level restricted, he could only look for other ways to improve his strength.
Ye Chuyun's biggest wish now is to collect all the sealed items and quickly break through to the next level.
