NOVPUBJust like the Divine Emperor from long ago, who was blasted to death by three Great Emperors from the lower realms.
His True Fate was shattered.
Although the price paid was steep, the beings from Heaven Beyond Heavens could finally descend upon Yuan Central Continent.
"World-weary Divine Girl, huh," Xu Zimei murmured.
He couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, from the outline, he could only tell it was a woman.
The World-weary Divine Girl was concealed in the void, her surroundings seemingly enshrouded by a mist.
Indistinguishable in truth and uncertain in gender.
Xu Zimei knew that he was no match.
This kind of fight would require summoning Bai Meng and the others.
"Who summons me?" A cold voice arose from the void.
The voice, like a vast proclamation from the Great Dao, spread throughout heaven and earth, reaching everyone’s ears.
"Divine Girl, we are your believers," the Heaven Inheriting Elders promptly knelt down and said respectfully.
"Red Dust Palace," the woman in the void muttered softly.
Then she asked, "Why have you summoned me?"
"Divine Girl, after you ascended to Heaven Beyond Heavens, we have faithfully obeyed your orders and managed the Divine Maiden Palace," the Heaven Inheriting Elder hurriedly said.
"Now an outsider seeks to destroy your divine palace, our powers are insufficient, we can only summon you."
Upon hearing the Heaven Inheriting Elder’s words, Gu Yue beside him sneered coldly, "Shameless."
Clearly, it was the Heaven Inheriting Elders who broke their promises, but now they were the ones to accuse others first.
The woman in the void slowly turned her head, her gaze directed towards Xu Zimei.
"How do you wish to die?"
Her cool tone spread through heaven and earth, with a faint killing intent almost materializing and swirling around.
"That depends on whether you have the ability, I’ve always been quite lucky," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"And aren’t you going to show your true form? Hiding like this is quite uninteresting."
"Ants from the lower realm, so glib," the World-weary Divine Girl huffed.
A giant hand was already descending with overpowering suppression.
At the same time, the gaze from the depths of the Firmament became more intense, the sky filled with storm clouds and unpredictable changes, seemingly brewing something.
The World-weary Divine Girl slightly frowned when her hand came down.
Though it seemed an ordinary hand, its suppression rendered the entire world immobile.
Everyone below, including Xu Zimei, felt an irresistible force approaching.
They couldn’t even draw breath.
The giant hand was about to suppress Xu Zimei.
At that moment, a black Demonic Qi mushroomed up gently, then soared explosively into the sky.
The two streams of Demonic Qi surged up, rendering the entire Firmament murky and shrouded.
Everyone looked up to see the vast Demonic Qi charging towards the World-weary Divine Girl.
"Such pretense," the World-weary Divine Girl snorted coldly as she reached out her hand and flicked her finger.
Two red specks of light shot towards the Demonic Qi to suppress it.
But the terror of the Demonic Qi apparently exceeded her expectations.
The two red lights were engulfed, and alongside the exploding Demonic Qi in front of her, the World-weary Divine Girl also stumbled several steps backward.
Within the explosion of Demonic Qi, the figures of Bai Meng and the Seven-faced Demon General slowly emerged.
The Seven-faced Demon General stretched leisurely and looked at the World-weary Divine Girl, smiled, and said, "Impressive, a person from Heaven Beyond Heavens has come to Yuan Central Continent, doesn’t seem too favorable, does it?"
"Who are you?" Sensing the formidable power surrounding Bai Meng and the other, the World-weary Divine Girl furrowed her brows and asked.
"That’s not important," Bai Meng said.
"What’s important is that everything here today is decided by our Lord.
If you know what’s good for you, you can still walk away.
"If you really want to fight, after all, the Great Dao is always watching; it won’t benefit you,"
Bai Meng actually wanted to fight, but the rules of this world were just too strict.
He couldn’t unleash his full strength at his peak, so battling the opponent was meaningless.
The World-weary Divine Girl pondered for a moment.
Then she looked at Xu Zimei and asked, "Why do you seek to destroy our Divine Maiden Palace?
The order here has existed for countless years, never offending anyone."
"Shouldn’t you be asking them?" Xu Zimei looked up, pointed at Heaven Inheriting Elder and a few others, and said with a smile.
Seeing the gaze the World-weary Divine Girl cast their way.
Heaven Inheriting Elder became somewhat panicked and quickly said, "It was Ancestor Ming who agreed to give the Nirvana Beads to someone else without my consent.
I originally wanted to keep them for you."
"If they want them, let them have them," said the World-weary Divine Girl indifferently.
"This," Heaven Inheriting Elder hesitated.
The World-weary Divine Girl sent a message telepathically, and no one knew what she told Heaven Inheriting Elder.
But seeing Heaven Inheriting Elder’s expression change, he quickly nodded in agreement.
"Your Excellency," Heaven Inheriting Elder turned to Xu Zimei and said.
"I am willing to give you the Nirvana Beads, just don’t interfere with the matters between our Divine Maiden Palace and the Tianlun Sect."
"You’re not in a position to negotiate terms with me," Xu Zimei said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, yes," Heaven Inheriting Elder quickly nodded and took out a fiery red bead from his Storage Ring.
The bead’s surface was etched with the pattern of a phoenix.
Inside, it was a fiery red, as if burning with raging flames.
"This is the Nirvana Bead; someone once brought it into the Divine Maiden Palace, then later it was presented to me," Heaven Inheriting Elder explained. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Xu Zimei took the Nirvana Bead, which was slightly warm to the touch.
It was as though it was formed from condensed flames.
Xu Zimei knew that what the Nirvana Beads symbolized was the fire of Nirvana.
Legend had it that the fire of Nirvana could cause one to be reborn, even reshaping their very foundation; it was extremely powerful.
He stored away the Nirvana Bead and looked up at the World-weary Divine Girl in the sky.
Seeing her gaze return his, she said blandly, "If you can bear the destiny of this lifetime, I’ll be waiting for you in the Heaven Beyond Heavens."
After she said this, her figure slowly faded away.
"If there’s nothing else, don’t summon me rashly in the future."
As her voice fell, the teleportation space began to shatter.
The Array Plate and Array Flags separated once more, returning to the hands of Heaven Inheriting Elder and the others.
"Do you have any further instructions, Your Excellency?" Heaven Inheriting Elder approached and asked respectfully.
He was well aware of what the World-weary Divine Girl’s telepathic message implied about the person in front of him.
"I want to talk to her alone," Xu Zimei said softly, looking at Lan Ke’er beside him.
"Ke Er," Heaven Inheriting Elder turned to look at Lan Ke’er, nodding slightly at her.
Then all the people at Divine Maiden Square withdrew.
Leaving only Xu Zimei and Lan Ke’er together.
"It’s been a long time," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Why have you come here?" Lan Ke’er slowly stepped forward and asked.
"To find you, and to search for the Nirvana Bead," Xu Zimei replied directly, without concealment.
"Why did you come here to be the Young Palace Master? Were you forced by them?"
"No, it was my own choice," Lan Ke’er shook her head slightly and answered.
"So, what about you? Have you seen through the ways of the world and let go of everything?" Xu Zimei asked.
Lan Ke’er quietly looked at Xu Zimei without speaking.
