"Xuan Yu..."
Ye Ling hadn't expected to meet Xuan Yu at this moment, finding himself on the moon, gazing at Xuan Yu from afar.
Looking at Xuan Yu, Ye Ling opened his mouth, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Since we parted ways in the Origin Upper Realm, I haven't heard any news of you."
"Yes... I originally intended to seek out Senior Bai Qing to save Tian Xing. As a result, the commotion you caused in the Origin Upper Realm was too great. By the time I found Senior Bai Qing, the Origin Upper Realm had already been shattered by you," Xuan Yu said with a smile, looking at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Circumstances forced my hand, I couldn't help it... By the way, where did you go afterward?"
"My father took me away, and I've been confined at home ever since," Xuan Yu smiled. "Recently, my father left the Primordial Chaos for some business, and only then did I secretly reclaim my sealed power and sneak out."
"I originally intended to find you in the Primordial Chaos, but I encountered Tian Xing and the others who were wandering, so I brought them back to the Three Thousand Universes."
"Thank you."
Hearing Xuan Yu's words, Ye Ling expressed his sincere gratitude. "Without you, I don't know how long it would have taken me to get home."
Although Ye Ling had lived a fulfilling life in the Primordial Chaos, even now he still had the power of a Primordial Soul King that he hadn't had time to absorb, but to say he didn't miss home when he stopped would be a lie.
Xuan Yu chuckled lightly, "What are you thanking me for? I didn't contribute anything. As for you... I heard from Tian Xing that you've been hunting the Seven Primordial Kings in the Primordial Chaos? You even infiltrated the Overseer headquarters. You must be standing at the pinnacle of the Primordial Chaos now, right?"
Xuan Yu sighed with emotion as she spoke.
When she had first met Ye Ling back then, Ye Ling was incredibly weak and even going to the Origin Upper Realm would have been life-threatening. But now... Ye Ling had ascended to the peak of the Primordial Chaos, capable of standing in opposition to its rulers.
Seeing Ye Ling, Xuan Yu felt a sense of a younger neighbor growing up and becoming capable of handling things independently.
Hearing Xuan Yu's words, Ye Ling felt a bit embarrassed. "My achievements are nothing. As for you... I never imagined your true power was so immense. Back when I was on Earth, I even thought about capturing your residual soul."
At this moment, Xuan Yu's power was unfathomable, and even the current Ye Ling could faintly feel pressure.
"I inherited the blessings of my ancestors; you forged your path yourself. If our roles were reversed, I'm sure I wouldn't have done as well as you."
Xuan Yu smiled, not caring about the disparity in their strength. She then said to Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, I snuck out. If my father finds out, he'll definitely be angry, so I need to return soon."
"During this time, would you be willing to accompany me for a visit to the Origin Upper Realm?"
"Back then, we parted ways as soon as we arrived in the Origin Upper Realm. I haven't had the chance to adventure with you in the Origin Upper Realm yet."
Ye Ling smiled, "Of course, I couldn't ask for more."
The two exchanged smiles and transformed into two beams of light, one black and one white, leaving the Origin Lower Realm and heading to the Origin Upper Realm.
Returning to the Origin Upper Realm with Xuan Yu, Ye Ling's mindset had changed drastically.
Back then, as soon as he had illegally entered the Origin Upper Realm, he had encountered resistance from supreme powerhouses. Tian Xing was severely injured, and Xuan Yu, in order to save Tian Xing, had to part ways with Ye Ling.
Afterward, he was coerced by the supreme powerhouse Ji Ning and forced to tread carefully, with any misstep leading to eternal damnation.
Now, as Ye Ling and Xuan Yu arrived together, the Origin Upper Realm remained unchanged. The supreme powerhouses ruled the world, simultaneously plundering resources from the various Origin Lower Realms to enhance their strength.
However, Ye Ling could no longer sense any threat from the Origin Upper Realm.
"The scenery of this Origin Upper Realm is truly beautiful."
Xuan Yu stood on the cloud-piercing peak, tucking a strand of her dark hair behind her ear. "It's a pity that I didn't get to adventure with you in this world back then."
Ye Ling smiled at Xuan Yu, "Actually, we can still adventure together now."
"Oh?" Xuan Yu looked at Ye Ling. "The supreme powerhouses can't even harm a hair on your head. Our going there would just be like playing around."
"That's not necessarily true."
Ye Ling smiled slightly, summoned his Source Text, and directly covered the entire Origin Upper Realm, altering the flow of time between the Origin Upper Realm and the outside.
Under the shroud of Ye Ling's Source Text, no matter how many years passed in the Origin Upper Realm, only an instant would elapse in the Three Thousand Universes.
Then, Ye Ling said to Xuan Yu, "Just you and me. Let's seal our memories and powers and start from scratch in the Origin Upper Realm, cultivating until the supreme powerhouses awaken. What do you say?"
Xuan Yu laughed, "Sealing all your power and memories, aren't you afraid of dying in the Origin Upper Realm? This place is no amusement park."
Ye Ling replied, "I've experienced things more perilous than this. Or perhaps... are you scared?"
"Who said I'm scared?" Xuan Yu glared at Ye Ling. "Bring it on! But... where do we start?"
Ye Ling scanned the Origin Upper Realm and then said, "Let's start from the borderlands in the northwest. We'll begin from the resource-scarce borderlands and fight our way to the center!"
"Alright! Don't you dare die before we become supreme powerhouses!"
Xuan Yu chuckled, transformed into a beam of light, and darted towards the northwest.
Ye Ling followed closely behind.
After some time.
In the northwest region of the Origin Upper Realm, a pair of talented prodigies, a man and a woman, appeared.
Despite possessing nothing and being incredibly weak, they fought their way through the lawless northwestern wilderness, challenging opponents of higher cultivation levels. They carved a bloody path through countless peerless geniuses, becoming the two most dazzling stars in the northwest, noticed by numerous major powers.
However, facing countless offers from these powers, both of them chose to refuse, becoming rogue cultivators.
They relied on venturing into different secret realms and competing for resources with other major sects.
Every time an ancient secret realm opened, it was they who swept through everything, leaving the geniuses of other sects with nothing but scraps.
As their cultivation levels rapidly increased, countless powerful figures, fearing their swift growth, began to intervene and suppress them.
But no matter how perilous the situation, the two of them, working together, always managed to overcome the challenges. Instead, those major sects with malicious intentions were annihilated.
With their cultivation progressing at an astonishing rate, no one in the northwest was their match anymore. They finally set their sights on the center of the Origin Upper Realm, where... lay the most prosperous region, teeming with countless powerhouses.
Many years later...
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Ling and Xuan Yu stood together on a mountain peak.
"Are you ready?" Ye Ling asked Xuan Yu.
"Of course," Xuan Yu chuckled. "I haven't forgotten our previous agreement."
"To become supreme powerhouses together."
Ye Ling smiled lightly and, along with Xuan Yu, took out the Seed of Origin and began to absorb it!
BOOM!!!
Two powerful beams of light shot up from the mountain peak, and the aura of two peerless supreme powerhouses spread throughout the entire Origin Upper Realm.
All the supreme powerhouses in the Origin Upper Realm eagerly turned their gaze towards the mountain peak, eager to know how powerful the two most talented individuals in the history of the Origin Upper Realm would be after becoming supreme powerhouses.
However, when the light subsided, Ye Ling and Xuan Yu... were no longer in their original positions.
