At this moment, the Primordial Martial King was still hiding in a cave, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
After losing all his power, the Primordial Martial King was like a different person. He had completely lost his courage, startled by the slightest disturbance.
If the people of the Extreme Martial Domain knew that their revered King of Extreme Martial had become so neurotic, their faith would likely collapse on the spot.
"I wonder how that brat Ye Ling is doing... using the passage outside the Primordial Chaos to deal with 'them' is simply insane! Is he truly not afraid of death? What would happen to this King if he were sucked into that dangerous place outside the Primordial Chaos?"
"No... why would this King worry about the safety of that despicable and cunning fellow? If it weren't for the fact that I need him to recover my strength, this King would wish he'd just die out there!"
"The Overseer and that brat... neither of them are good people! But relatively speaking, this King wishes the Overseer would die more!"
"Ye Ling, this King permits you to return alive this time!"
The Primordial Martial King muttered to himself. The prolonged silence from the Extreme Martial Domain made him feel extremely uneasy.
*Crack!*
Suddenly, the sound of a twig snapping came from the cave entrance. The Primordial Martial King's muscles tensed instantly. He immediately held his breath and hid in a secluded corner of the cave.
Ye Ling and Bai Lan entered the cave. They found the Primordial Martial King hiding in the corner and exchanged a knowing smile.
"Primordial Martial King, are you there?" Bai Lan called out in the cave, "We're here, if you're here, just say something! We've come to give you power!"
Hearing Bai Lan's call, the Primordial Martial King hiding in the corner felt a flicker of displeasure in his eyes.
"Ye Ling is one thing, but can you, this little girl, order this King around?" the Primordial Martial King grumbled, deciding that Ye Ling himself had to invite him out!
After all, he was the Primordial Martial King. Even if he was to accept power, he still needed to maintain his dignity!
Seeing that the Primordial Martial King did not respond, a sly glint flashed in Bai Lan's eyes. She said to Ye Ling, "Master, it seems there's no one in this cave. Perhaps the Primordial Martial King isn't here?"
Ye Ling replied, "Yes, looking at this empty cave, he's probably hiding from us. I guess he doesn't want the power anymore, so let's leave."
The Primordial Martial King, hiding in the corner of the cave, trembled upon hearing Ye Ling's words. He suddenly darted out from the corner and said quickly, "Wait! This King is here!"
Bai Lan smiled at the anxious Primordial Martial King and chuckled, "What's this? So you were here all along. I thought you didn't want the power anymore."
The Primordial Martial King glared at Bai Lan and angrily said, "Little girl, this King is one of the Seven Ancient Kings. Although I'm like a tiger fallen into the plains now, I'm still on the same level as your Master! You'd better show some respect!"
Hearing the Primordial Martial King's words, Bai Lan looked at Ye Ling with a smile and said, "Master, he seems to look down on me. Perhaps we should just forget it and give him a little power to send him away."
Ye Ling nodded, "Indeed... The Primordial Martial King even looks down on the former representative of the Primordial Chaos Will. He probably doesn't care about the Primordial Chaos Source Power. We won't force him."
"What... what did you say?"
The Primordial Martial King was stunned by Ye Ling and Bai Lan's words and asked for confirmation.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "I said Lan'er was once the representative of the Primordial Chaos Will, and she still has some Primordial Chaos Source Power remaining within her. It's not of much use to her, and I was planning to give that portion of Primordial Chaos Source Power to you. Unfortunately, you look down on that little girl."
"Ch-Chaos Source Power?"
The Primordial Martial King's mouth twitched, and he immediately felt dizzy!
It was known that the Primordial Chaos took shape, and he, the Primordial Martial King, was born from the evolution of Chaos Source Power!
In other words, all the power he had previously wielded, if traced back to its origin, was actually Chaos Source Power!
If he could obtain another portion of Chaos Source Power, with proper handling, in a few hundred million years... he might become the new Primordial King!
For the Primordial Martial King, who had existed since the birth of the Primordial Chaos and had lived until now, a few hundred million years was like taking a nap!
He could wait!
The temptation of such power was something the Primordial Martial King could not refuse!
The thought of sacrificing his opportunity to become a Primordial King again due to a matter of pride made the Primordial Martial King feel suffocated.
"Hey! You should have said so earlier!"
The Primordial Martial King's expression changed instantly. He gave Bai Lan a thumbs-up and praised, "This King has always felt that your demeanor was extraordinary and that you were no ordinary person. So you are the representative of the Primordial Chaos Will!"
"This King used to be best buddies with the Chaos Space-Time Beasts. We're all family!"
"Sister Lan, although you are now separated from the Chaos Space-Time Beasts... it doesn't stop us from being family. Since that Chaos Source Power is of no use to you, it would be a waste to let it go unused. How about letting this King digest it?"
"It's better to keep it within the family!"
The Primordial Martial King no longer cared about his dignity as a Primordial King, and even changed his address to Bai Lan to "Sister Lan."
"Hahaha... this is the first time anyone has called me 'sister'! And to be called that by the Primordial Martial King, one of the Seven Kings!"
Hearing the Primordial Martial King's address, Bai Lan burst into laughter and then said, "Since you are so sincere, I will give you the Chaos Source Power."
"However, I don't have much of it myself, and that power is very pure, easily contaminated by other energies. Therefore, after you accept it, you won't be able to become a supreme expert, and your strength won't change much in a short period."
"Having some is enough! I don't care how much!" The Primordial Martial King rubbed his hands together when he saw that Bai Lan was willing to give it to him.
Even a wisp of Chaos Source Power would be enough for him not to become a supreme expert!
Compared to a fixed future limit, he wanted to return to the position of king more!
"Alright then."
Seeing that the Primordial Martial King didn't care about the amount of Chaos Source Power, Bai Lan spread her palm and blew gently with her mouth.
A bean-sized, pure white ball of Chaos Source Power appeared in Bai Lan's palm, emitting a very special aura.
"Chaos Source Power!"
The Primordial Martial King's heart raced upon seeing the Chaos Source Power in Bai Lan's palm: "It's the purest Chaos Source Power!"
However, just as the Primordial Martial King was about to accept Bai Lan's Chaos Source Power, Ye Ling took the Chaos Source Power from Bai Lan's hand and put it into his own, which surprised the Primordial Martial King.
"Ye... Ye Ling?"
"It's not impossible for me to give you this Chaos Source Power, but I have one more condition."
"What condition?" The Primordial Martial King pursed his lips, his heart pounding in his throat.
That bean-sized ball of Chaos Source Power had far exceeded the Primordial Martial King's expectations. He was now very afraid that Ye Ling was playing with him using this power.
After all, not everyone could bear to give away such precious energy.
Seeing the Primordial Martial King's nervous expression, Ye Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult request."
"Didn't your consciousness split into countless messengers of the Extreme Martial Domain before? Among them were Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian. They are like half-disciples to me... Separate their consciousness and memories into unique individuals."
"Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian... I know. You took over this King's body by planting runes in their consciousness, didn't you?"
The Primordial Martial King remembered that before, he had discovered that two of his consciousnesses had their martial arts realms soaring, even surpassing his own comprehension. He couldn't help but recall them, only to fall into Ye Ling's trap.
If it weren't for Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian, he wouldn't have been so easily taken over by Ye Ling and ultimately lost all his power.
"That's right, it's them," Ye Ling admitted openly. "For you now, making them independent individuals shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"If that's the only condition... then this King agrees," the Primordial Martial King nodded. "However, I've lost all my power now and can't separate my consciousness into two independent individuals."
"That's fine, I can help you."
Ye Ling smiled slightly, unfolded the Ink Realm, directly decomposed the Primordial Martial King into text, and then separated the parts corresponding to Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian, reassembling them into two independent individuals.
After doing so, Ye Ling retracted the Ink Realm, returning the Primordial Martial King to his original state.
Throughout the entire process, the Primordial Martial King felt a slight emptiness in his heart but experienced no other discomfort.
"Done... This Chaos Source Power is for you."
After separating Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian, Ye Ling transferred the Chaos Source Power into the Primordial Martial King's body.
Ye Ling truly didn't care about this bean-sized ball of Chaos Source Power.
He had now inherited all the power of the Primordial Chaos Will. Although he couldn't use those murmurs at will, Chaos Source Power was no longer a precious commodity to him.
The Primordial Martial King, having received the Chaos Source Power, could no longer bother with Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian. He immediately sat down on the ground, allowing this Chaos Source Power to become his new core, slowly nurturing it.
Ye Ling didn't pay any more attention to the Primordial Martial King. He teleported Bai Xiaosheng and Qi Xian to the Wu Dynasty, instructing them to assist Empress Wu upon waking, and then said to Bai Lan, "Lan'er, this matter is settled, let's go."
Bai Lan smiled sweetly, "Okay, Master!"
The two of them disappeared from the spot.
