"It's her..."
Ye Ling recognized the woman dancing before him, his heart filled with immense shock. He couldn't understand why he was seeing a true divine manifestation of her here!
Amidst Ye Ling's confusion and surprise, the woman in the hall finished her dance. Bathed in starlight, she gracefully walked towards Ye Ling and Ye Qingyan, extending her hands and beckoning them to take them.
Seeing the manifestation of the Creation God extend her hand towards her, Ye Qingyan looked to Ye Ling, awaiting his response.
The situation was too unusual, and Ye Qingyan dared not act rashly.
Ye Ling still hadn't figured out the situation. He could only say, "Let's do as she wishes. Her true body's strength is far beyond ours. If she has ill intentions, our pondering here is useless. Let's follow her lead for now and see what happens."
"Oh..."
Since Ye Ling had said so, Ye Qingyan no longer hesitated and placed her hand in the woman's palm.
The woman held Ye Ling and Ye Qingyan's hands, smiled slightly, and led them towards the star chart on the hall's ceiling.
The star chart above the hall lit up with a blue glow, revealing stars that flickered all around the hall.
Ye Ling and Ye Qingyan flew towards the starlight.
Seeing the woman leading them towards the star chart, Ye Qingyan asked Ye Ling again, "Where is she taking us?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "I'm not sure either. Let's follow and see."
Although Ye Ling said this, he still placed a protective barrier around Ye Qingyan to prevent any accidents.
The woman, holding Ye Ling and Ye Qingyan's hands, flew into the star chart, arriving in a starry expanse.
A Milky Way streaked across the center of the starry sky, and specks of starlight cascaded down, illuminating Ye Ling and Ye Qingyan's faces.
It was evident that Ye Ling and Ye Qingyan had entered another independent space.
Ye Qingyan gazed at the myriad stars, vaguely sensing a profoundly mysterious energy within them.
Ye Ling, however, noticed the presence of a fragile cosmic barrier hidden within the starry sky, one that would shatter at the slightest touch. His brow furrowed slightly.
The woman, still holding Ye Ling and Ye Qingyan's hands, flew towards the cosmic barrier.
"Is she taking us beyond the domain?" Ye Ling was startled as he saw the woman leading them towards the starry sky, and a sense of hesitation arose within him.
The woman seemed to sense Ye Ling's suspicion, a flicker of sadness crossing her eyes. She glanced at Ye Ling, then released their hands, passing through the cosmic barrier alone and disappearing beyond the domain.
"She passed through..." Ye Ling watched the woman pass through the cosmic barrier and stopped, his eyes filled with hesitation.
Ye Qingyan didn't fully understand what the cosmic barrier meant. Seeing Ye Ling stop before it, she asked, "What should we do now? Should we follow?"
Ye Ling said solemnly, "I suspect there's a hidden inheritance left outside this cosmic barrier. She was guiding us there."
Ye Qingyan replied, "Isn't that a good thing? We didn't obtain the Creation Inheritance there, so this is a perfect opportunity to make up for it."
Ye Ling shook his head, "It's not that simple. After passing through this cosmic barrier, we'll be beyond the domain, and it's uncertain if we can return."
"Moreover, this Creation God disappeared long ago, likely due to an attack. Logically, she shouldn't have left an inheritance. Yet now, her phantom appears in that hall and guides us beyond the domain. I suspect this might be a trap set by some powerful being from beyond the domain."
Ye Qingyan, who had been somewhat excited, gradually calmed down after hearing Ye Ling's words. She looked at the cosmic barrier ahead and said with a solemn expression, "Then what should we do now? Should we give up?"
Passing through the cosmic barrier and venturing beyond the domain for inheritance was a gamble!
Ye Ling already had a complete plan for dealing with forces from beyond the domain.
If he followed the plan step by step, by the time the cosmic barrier was breached, Ye Ling might not be able to protect the entire universe, but he could safeguard most of its inhabitants, allowing planets centered around Earth to establish a foothold in the outer domain and become a dominant power.
However, the appearance of this Creation God's manifestation had completely disrupted all of Ye Ling's plans.
No one knew what lay beyond the cosmic barrier, and whether they could return after going out was also an unknown.
Ye Ling still had too many ties on Earth; he couldn't risk everything by venturing into the outer domain.
Ye Qingyan also noticed Ye Ling's hesitation and said, "Perhaps we should give up this inheritance. You're already strong enough, so this inheritance isn't that important."
"Let me think... Such an inheritance, if truly abandoned, would be a great pity... And I have a feeling she wants to tell me something."
"I have a premonition that this choice will have a profound impact on the world..."
Ye Ling took a deep breath and placed his hand on the cosmic barrier, attempting to sense the situation beyond it.
His soul power slowly permeated the cosmic barrier, spreading towards the outer domain.
Fortunately, the cosmic barrier here was quite weak. Ye Ling's soul power passed through without much effort. However, a cosmic barrier was, after all, a supreme barrier that isolated everything. Even though Ye Ling's soul power had passed through, he could only vaguely sense the situation outside, unable to discern the complete picture.
Seeing Ye Ling release his soul power, Ye Qingyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "How is it? What's the situation outside?"
"It's vast and empty, as if there's nothing... yet it also seems to hide an extremely powerful energy... I can't currently determine if that power is friend or foe," Ye Ling withdrew his hand and sighed, "This is all I can sense for now. For specific details, I'll have to go out and see for myself."
Ye Qingyan suggested, "Why don't we send a manifestation out first to scout the situation? If it's truly a trap outside, we'll only lose a manifestation, which won't affect our core."
Ye Ling nodded slightly, "Your suggestion is a foolproof plan. I'll send a manifestation out to take a look first..."
After all, beyond this cosmic barrier likely lay a complete Creation Inheritance. Even though the risk of inheriting it was immense, Ye Ling couldn't ignore it.
After all, the universe was now protected by Ye Ling alone. Countless forces beyond the domain were coveting it, and Ye Ling didn't want to miss any opportunity to increase his cultivation.
He wanted to be as strong as possible!
Having made his decision, Ye Ling split off a wisp of his soul power and sent it through the cosmic barrier, heading towards the outer domain.
However, the moment Ye Ling's manifestation passed through the cosmic barrier, it was struck with a heavy blow and instantly disintegrated!
Ye Ling lost contact with his manifestation, felt a sweetness in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood!
