Chapter 1264: Advance Explanation

After everyone dispersed, Zhuge Feiyu stayed behind and sought Ye Liuyun alone.

"I need a way to constantly verify that you're still alive!" Zhuge Feiyu said to Ye Liuyun.

He meant that if anything happened to Ye Liuyun, he would need to prepare in advance.

If it were someone else, they might mistake him for trying to seize power.

But Ye Liuyun knows Zhuge Feiyu well and harbors no doubt at all.

"Have a master from the Refinery Alliance craft a treasure that can preserve a strand of Divine Sense. If I die, that Divine Sense will vanish. But only you may know about this!"

Seeing that Ye Liuyun showed not a hint of doubt, Zhuge Feiyu laughed, "You trust me, then! Just leave it with Liang Xue! I'm too lazy to watch that thing every day, and it saves me from your women pestering me daily!"

After saying that, Zhuge Feiyu went to the Refinery Alliance to find a master to forge the item.

Ye Liuyun called Liang Xue over and gave her instructions.

"Zhuge Feiyu is trustworthy; you needn't worry. If anything arises, consult him. Should I get into trouble, you must tell him immediately and have him arrange your evacuation from Zhongyang Dalu."

"No. We won't go anywhere; we'll stay here to guard these assets for you until you return!" Liang Xue said firmly.

"Wealth is external; don't worry about it. We'll earn it back later. But you must take my parents and the others with you; they must not fall into anyone else's hands!"

After much back-and-forth, Ye Liuyun finally got Liang Xue to agree to the task.

Then he had Xuanwu guard Liang Xue.

Finally, he went to his parents and briefed them on the situation.

Ye Xiaotian and Feng Yunfei were, of course, very worried about Ye Liuyun's safety, yet they had no means to help.

"What if we mobilize two alliances and together seek masters to resist the Underworld God?" Feng Yunfei asked.

Ye Liuyun shook his head, "Useless. Even if we bring those people, they can't stop the Underworld God. Moreover, if anyone takes advantage and strikes, they'd only cause us trouble. I'd rather slip away quietly and lure the Underworld God away."

They don't know the outcome of my encounter with the Underworld God, so they dare not act rashly for now. You also have time to withdraw.

Ye Xiaotian was more optimistic; he comforted Ye Liuyun, "Go focus on dealing with the Underworld God; we have nothing for you to worry about here! Though the gap in realms is large, it's not entirely without chance!"

"Hmm!" Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement.

Ye Xiaotian was indeed correct; there is a chance, so Ye Liuyun was only a bit nervous and hadn't given up hope.

He now has everything explained, merely as a precaution.

After everything was arranged, Ye Liuyun returned to the battlefield.

He intends to lure the Underworld God to the battlefield first. Once the Underworld God arrives, he'll use the teleport Black Tower to leave.

That way he can create a time lag and gain more time.

As one diminishes and the other grows, the longer the time, the more advantageous it becomes for him.

This also lets everyone know that he has fled.

As long as there is no definite news of his death, those major forces will not dare to act rashly for the time being.

After returning, he communicated with the Magic Vine again.

Previously, when the Magic Vine faced an opponent, it became very excited and showed a warlike demeanor.

Now that it hears the opponent is a Divine Rank, it becomes completely still. Not because it's afraid of Divine Rank masters, but because it doesn't know if it can handle a being of that realm.

It merely urges Ye Liuyun to go fight so it can absorb more energy.

Ye Liuyun understands its meaning: it wants to grow quickly.

Thus he took the Magic Vine and launched a solo offensive, attacking the Foreign Tribe's main camp. The battle centered on the Magic Vine, and he and his clone also used the chance to absorb more Divine Soul Power.

For Ye Liuyun, the power closest to the Underworld God's is Divine Soul Power.

He also plans to ingest the pill that boosts Divine Soul Power before the Underworld God arrives, so he won't be too far behind.

Each time the Magic Vine strikes, it first targets high‑realm masters. The rest are taken in descending order of realm. As for low‑realm beings, it is too lazy to absorb them and simply turns away.

Thus, their coordination often directly destroys a large army's command system, crippling the Foreign Tribe's forces—like a targeted decapitation of the tribe's leaders.

When Ye Liuyun appeared on the battlefield and caused such a commotion, the Foreign Tribe's camps were thrown into chaos, immediately drawing their attention.

Tuomu Hai both hates and fears Ye Liuyun. He wants to use elite troops against him but is reluctant, so he can only try to contend with Ye Liuyun as best he can. He

also immediately adjusted the main army. All of the Foreign Tribe's forces deployed outposts that fled at once upon encountering Ye Liuyun.

Thus a strange sight appeared across the battlefield.

Wherever Ye Liuyun appeared, the Foreign Tribe turned and fled, especially high‑realm masters who ran fastest. They would even abandon cities.

So after Ye Liuyun destroyed two of the Foreign Tribe's camps, he no longer had the chance to massively eliminate them for the Magic Vine to grow.

His own Divine Soul Power, however, has already increased considerably.

Letting the Magic Vine go out on its own, he still feared the vine might foolishly not know when to retreat and fall into the Foreign Tribe's trap.

The Magic Vine's intellect is low; if Ye Liuyun doesn't call it back, it will keep attacking.

Moreover, it knows no tactics and requires Ye Liuyun's guidance. On its own, the vines it loses and the energy it absorbs merely keep it in balance.

In the end, helpless, Ye Liuyun took out several Mineral Veins for the Magic Vine to absorb.

Anyway, the Demonic God Sect has recently collected many Mineral Veins, so leaving them unused would be wasteful.

After a period of absorption, Ye Liuyun discussed the Underworld God with the Magic Vine again; the vine indeed showed a hint of eagerness, and he finally relaxed.

Later, he had Wu Qingcheng obtain several more Mineral Veins from the Demonic God Sect, toss them to the Magic Vine for absorption, and he began to focus on cultivating Divine Soul Power.

The pill that War God Li Yuanlang left him, which enhances Divine Soul Power.

The last time Ye Liuyun took the pill that boosted his Physical Body, it left him with a psychological scar.

So this time, he gritted his teeth, steeled his mind, and swallowed the pill.

However, after swallowing the pill, he felt no painful reaction.

The pill actually contains a collection of various powerful Divine Soul Powers, mixed with herbs that facilitate their absorption.

Originally, those potent Divine Soul Powers would shock his own Soul; weaker Divine Soul Power could even turn hostile, destroying his Soul and replacing it.

But Ye Liuyun has the Ten Thousand Gods Command, so he need not worry at all.
