Chapter 384

"Xiao Xiao Chen Ling will work hard!"

Chen Ping smiled and ruffled the tree spirit's head, then walked toward the Lingzhudian.

And in the Shenzhou World.

The consciousness of Earth replaced the original function of the Illusory Star avatar, serving as the core for the new world's evolution and maintaining its perfection.

The Wanderer of the Myriad Worlds sat atop the mountains, feeling the thick vitality, and pulled out a Luo Pan.

The Luo Pan was covered in countless intricate spirals, which now began spinning with a哒哒哒 sound.

Finally, with a soft tick, the Luo Pan stabilized, and the Wanderer of the Myriad Worlds stood up.

With one step, he appeared in the starry sky of the Shenzhou World.

With another step, he had already left the Shenzhou World.

The two World Serpents were currently in a state of slumber, digesting their previous gains.

The Wanderer of the Myriad Worlds paid them no mind; he flickered across the cosmos and soon departed from here.

After his departure, a shadow quietly emerged.

The shadow wore a black cloak—it was the mysterious figure who had appeared after Chen Ping and the others broke through the Zhishidiantang.

The mysterious figure stared幽幽 at the Shenzhou World, silently slipping past the World Serpents.

But just as he was about to enter the Shenzhou World, a faint glow suddenly radiated from beyond the world's barrier.

The mysterious figure, struck by this glow, nearly evaporated entirely.

Boom!

The mysterious figure scattered on the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already far, far away.

He glanced back toward the direction the Wanderer of the Myriad Worlds had left, as if remembering something, and prepared to depart immediately.

But the next instant, a faint glow appeared on his own body.

This light formed a sphere, sealing him outright.

Boom boom boom…

Distant thunder rolled…

A pained expression appeared on the mysterious figure's face.

"Bullshit about non-interference—the era is changing, you decaying…"

Boom boom boom…

The faint glow seal suddenly contracted, cutting off the mysterious figure mid-sentence, then tore through the space barrier and hurled him into the Void.

The center of the Myriad Worlds returned to its chaotic, unordered state.

Chen Ping knew nothing of what had happened here.

He had returned to the Lingzhudian and instructed Lin Na to properly entertain the Elven delegation.

For the coming days, there was no need to rush about cooperation—wait for the Elven delegation to bring it up themselves.

After Lin Na left, Milan leaned against the doorway, eyeing Chen Ping with slight suspicion.

For some reason, Chen Ping suddenly felt as if he'd been caught.

"Has your life layer changed?"

"I sense a shift in your soul's resonance—it has been elevated."

Milan could directly perceive soul energy, so Chen Ping's transformation was impossible to hide from her.

Chen Ping simply laid it all out, recounting to Milan everything that had transpired in the Shenzhou World.

Even Milan, known as one of the Three Pillars of the Soul Realm and possessing mysterious, powerful background and experience, was left speechless after hearing it.

She knew of Life Essence; she knew of the power of Creation Worlds.

But for Chen Ping to fuse and then separate the two in this manner left Milan astonished.

"So, you pinned the Great Elven Holy Maiden?"

"Tsk, why are you fixated on such a strange detail?"

"Just tell me—did you pin her or not?"

"Soul fusion isn't something you can put like that."

A knowing smile appeared on Milan's face, and she stopped pressing Chen Ping for answers.

She was a soul-body, so she had never cared about matters between men and women—after all, soul-bodies couldn't do such things.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly recalled, out of nowhere, that Chen Ping had pinned the Great Elven Holy Maiden in that state.

Didn't that mean he could also pin her?

Milan's body stiffened, then she forcibly feigned calmness and left the meeting hall.

Chen Ping had no idea what Milan was thinking; he sat in the hall, pondering his next moves.

The Great Elven Holy Maiden had accepted her loss; the Jiuzhou Ling would now receive a batch of precious resources.

Meanwhile, the Azure Dragon Guard and Vermilion Bird Guard's hunting of the异族 should also yield a certain quantity of resources.

Thus, for the coming period, the Jiuzhou Ling would at least not have to worry about resource shortages.

Everyone could now focus安心 on their research.

However, with the Great Elves opening their technology, the original development strategy might need adjustments.

The Great Elves' technology was no weaker than that of the Development Alliance—especially in life research.

In short, the territory's development had no issues.

As for his current strength, he could easily sweep through all races.

Level 99—just one step away from the Extraordinary Stage.

Others might spend years stuck on this step, but Chen Ping would not.

With the Divine Core and Life Essence supporting him, the Extraordinary Rank was merely a matter of lifting his foot.

Thus, the original strategy against the Shengling and Titans needed revision.

He now had the power to suppress Lan Der's trump cards, preventing them from destroying Jiuzhou's development through mutual destruction.

Therefore, the complete annihilation of Lan Der and the Titans naturally rose to the top of his target list.

He and the Shengling were locked in mortal enmity; even if they all left the Wan Zu Trial World, they might still meet again.

Moreover, he had slain the Six-Winged Archangel, and after the trial ended, he would surely draw the attention of the Holy Light Nation.

Lan Der, returning to the Main World with the support of the Holy Light Nation, would inevitably grow rapidly.

Why not simply crush such a future enemy while he was still weak?

As for the Titans…

Chen Ping recalled Keli Si's actions all along.

Perhaps, beyond total annihilation, there might truly be a path to cooperation…

224: Let's join forces, my woman—divide the Trial World.

Annihilate the Shengling and the Titans entirely.

The Shengling race was already an irreconcilable enemy.

As for the Titan race, based on Milan's earlier report, most held no goodwill toward the human race.

Given the chance, Chen Ping was certain the Titans would gladly send humanity to hell.

But Chen Ping was now considering how to drag the Great Elves into this as well.

As one of the Upper Races, he needed to bind the Great Elves completely to the Jiuzhou Ling.

That way, whether the risks of the annihilation war or the pressures they'd face upon returning to the Main World,

both would be eased.

There's no reason I should bear the burden of manpower and effort to eliminate the two greatest enemies,

while you Great Elves do nothing and still share in the benefits of the Wan Zu Trial.

In the Wan Zu Trial, aside from the difficulty of mana invasion, treasures lay everywhere.

The artifacts formed by cosmic changes were rare anywhere.

Even on a dimensional auction, they could fetch a good price.

Due to its prestige, the human race easily aroused suspicion from the other myriad races.

But if the Great Elves took the lead in organizing it, the effect would be different.

Let the Great Elves and humans jointly eliminate the Shengling and Titans, sending a signal to all trial participants:

Demonstrate the power of our alliance.
