The Wu Xing Demon God, who thought he had escaped, had his smile freeze on his face as he found himself back in the shattered dreamscape.
"This, this is..."
The Wu Xing Demon God stared blankly at the "Brain" and "Heart" before him, his mind a complete blank.
How had he returned?
The "Brain" looked at the Wu Xing Demon God indifferently and said coldly, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it and insisted on making trouble behind my back."
"Since that's the case, you will take Ye Ling's punishment in the arena."
Crack!
As the "Brain" finished speaking, the dreamscape constructed by the Wu Xing Demon God shattered, and he returned to the arena.
The time limit for the arena had now expired, and all the spectators in the stands had left. The Wu Xing Demon God, in place of Ye Ling, began to fade.
"Wait... what is going on?"
Seeing himself gradually fading towards death, the Wu Xing Demon God panicked completely. He quickly said to the "Brain," "My lord, I was wrong! Please give me another chance! I don't want to die! I promise I won't make any more trouble next time!"
The Wu Xing Demon God began to desperately beg for mercy from the "Brain" and the "Heart," but his words were now meaningless.
Both the "Brain" and the "Heart," like the Wu Xing Demon God, were being consumed by the arena, their bodies disappearing at a visible rate.
Seeing this, the Wu Xing Demon God's eyes filled with endless despair and regret.
If he had taken Ye Ling with him back then, would he have ended up in this situation?
Unfortunately, no matter how much the Wu Xing Demon God regretted it now, it was useless. He could only slowly fade away in despair and fear...
On the other side, Ye Ling, who had swapped positions with the Wu Xing Demon God using a rune skill, returned to his original space. He saw that the surrounding space, including the "Brain" in the distance, was constantly fading, revealing the void outside.
Ye Ling looked at his future and found that the entire space was about to explode. He had also re-established contact with Yin Guo and the others.
"It seems I have indeed escaped the 'Brain's' causal skill, but my future..."
Ye Ling pursed his lips. He could see his future five minutes from now, which had become incredibly chaotic, like gibberish.
It was clear that the crisis was not over!
"As I expected, the 'Brain' pulled me into his arena not to obliterate me, but to complete the fusion."
"Perhaps only after I killed the 'Brain' and the others in the arena could the 'Brain' complete the fusion and be reborn. Even if I didn't act, the 'Brain' would have perished with me... It seems no matter what I do, I will face the 'Brain's' complete form."
Ye Ling looked at the collapsing space and no longer lingered. He directly activated Absolute Divine Movement and teleported back to Yin Guo and the others.
Yin Guo, who had been looking worried, immediately showed joy upon seeing Ye Ling return. He quickly asked Ye Ling, "Master, where did you go? I suddenly couldn't sense your aura, as if you had died!"
"You brat, can't you wish me well?"
Ye Ling rolled his eyes at Yin Guo and said irritably.
Auguha Gang also chimed in, "Your aura suddenly disappeared when you went to find the 'Brain.' Were you teleported somewhere else?"
"Yes." Ye Ling nodded slightly. Seeing that everyone was concerned about him, he didn't hide his experience and recounted what had happened.
After hearing Ye Ling's account, Yin Guo immediately burrowed into Ye Ling's body and said quickly, "No! I have to stay in your body from now on. Otherwise, if you get tricked by a causal skill again, you won't even know how you died!"
Ye Ling ignored Yin Guo's words and looked at Bai Lan, who was still sleeping. He asked Vivian and Chu Yun, who were taking care of Bai Lan, "How is Lan'er's condition? Are there any signs of her waking up?"
Chu Yun replied, "She has absorbed most of the power within her. I estimate she will wake up within ten minutes at most."
"Ye Ling, Bai Lan has absorbed a considerable amount of power. If she wakes up, she can become a very important combat force for us!"
Ye Ling could roughly guess what power Bai Lan had absorbed. He nodded slightly, put Bai Lan into his small world, and then said to everyone, "In five minutes at most, the 'Brain's' complete form will descend."
"I cannot guarantee how strong the 'Brain's' complete form will be, but we cannot set the battlefield here... Fighting the 'Brain' here is likely to affect the Chu Yuan Realm!"
Ye Ling had originally planned to deal with the "Brain" before its fusion. At the very least, he could have activated the runes he had hidden within the "Heart" to cause some trouble for the "Brain's" fusion, thus allowing him to resolve the battle easily.
But now the plan had failed... The descent of the "Brain's" complete form had become a foregone conclusion. If they fought the "Brain's" complete form here, Ye Ling would not be able to control the scale of the battle, which would be a great misfortune for the Chu Yuan Realm.
Vivian asked, "Then boss, have you decided where to set the battlefield?"
"Yes." Ye Ling nodded. "Vivian, didn't we materialize the Wu Xing Demon God's dreamscape? We will now unfold that dreamscape and travel to the Void Dark Side through it."
Vivian's pupils contracted slightly. "Boss, you want to have the decisive battle in the Void Dark Side?"
Ye Ling nodded. "Yes... Only by fighting there can I unleash my full power without any reservations, without worrying about affecting the ordered worlds within the void."
Vivian replied, "But what about the other creatures in the Void Dark Side? In that place, there are countless beings like the Wu Xing Demon God and the Fallen Dragon!"
Ye Ling said, "I've already thought of it... Vivian, you will hide in the void and protect the dreamscape, serving as a bridge for us to return to the void at any time."
"As for the matters in the Void Dark Side, they will be handled by Auguha Gang."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Auguha Gang instantly understood what Ye Ling intended to do. He asked, "You mean, you want me to lure away the lords and demon gods of the Void Dark Side?"
As the third-ranked innate demon spirit in the Void Dark Side, Auguha Gang's attraction to the lords and demon gods was fatal.
"Yes... Because the strength of the 'Brain's' complete form is uncertain, this task can only be done by you alone. The risk is not low. Can you do it?"
Auguha Gang replied, "My strength has recovered quite a bit now, so survival is not a problem. As for your side, can you really deal with the 'Brain' without me as a combatant?"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you can create an undisturbed battlefield for us in the Void Dark Side, we will definitely succeed!"
