[Gao Zong arrived before Yang Guangxi, raised his hand, and picked up the Overlord Sea Blade. His gaze, however, never left the latter.]
"You remind me of an old acquaintance."
"You are the same as he was. In order to live, you can force yourself to do the most heart-against-the-heart things. I admire people like you. As long as you can survive, you will surely accomplish something in the future."
"However, I hate it when others touch my Overlord Sea Blade!"
[The moment his words fell, the Overlord Sea Blade transformed into a mass of water mist, abruptly entered Yang Guangxi’s body, and then violently exploded!]
[Yang Guangxiao and Yang Guangxi, the two brothers, fell completely on the spot!]
[Such an apocalyptic crushing force brought a trace of despair into Zhu Xincheng’s eyes.]
[She subconsciously grasped Ye Yu’s hand, as though only by doing so could she feel even a sliver of reassurance.]
"I’m sorry. I dragged you into this. If I hadn’t brought you here, none of this would have happened. I’m sorry, truly sorry. I will—"
Before Zhu Xincheng could finish, Ye Yu interrupted her through voice transmission.
"Enough. Saying this now is meaningless. Don’t speak anymore. Watch how I handle this."
[After instructing Zhu Xincheng, Ye Yu stepped forward of his own accord and faced Gao Zong directly.]
"Senior, what do you plan to do next? Eliminate us as well while you’re at it?"
[Gao Zong did not evade the question in the slightest. He nodded decisively.]
"Indeed. That is precisely my intention. And you? Will you submit? Beg for mercy? Or swing one final sword before death?"
[Zhu Xincheng’s heart tightened abruptly.]
[Gao Zong spoke calmly, yet he had already used divine power to completely seal off the area.]
[Clearly, he had no intention of letting the two of them leave alive.]
[Whether submission or begging for mercy, it would be useless.]
[Yang Guangxi was the best example!]
[As for struggling before death, that was even more laughable. Before a God Sovereign, resistance was utterly meaningless!]
[It seemed they truly would die here this time!]
[In contrast to Zhu Xincheng’s despair, Ye Yu remained composed.]
[There was no other reason. He was already used to it.]
[Life and death—without exaggeration, if he did not experience it dozens of times a year, he would consider himself lazy.]
[Of course, even so, that did not mean he would give up entirely.]
[Before dying, Ye Yu wanted to perform one final dance.]
[If it succeeded, he did not expect to kill Gao Zong, but he might be able to carve out a path to survival!]
"I choose none of those three. I choose another path."
"In truth, I have a nickname in the God Realm—Dream Fulfillment Master. What I enjoy most is helping others complete their dreams. Now, before I die, I would like to fulfill one last dream. Senior, may I ask—what is your dream?"
[Hearing this, Gao Zong was slightly stunned.]
[In his long years, he had never encountered such an absurd question.]
[Dream... what was that?]
[Gao Zong fell into deep thought.]
[Ye Yu was not in a hurry. He waited quietly where he stood.]
[As the saying goes, take a gamble—turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.]
[An existence like Gao Zong—if he had a dream, its duration would certainly be astronomical.]
[No matter the difficulty, such a dream would yield unimaginably generous rewards.]
[If he were lucky enough to complete it, he would truly strike it rich!]
[Thus, Ye Yu embraced the mindset of seeking fortune amid danger and waited for an answer.]
[A trace of astonishment flickered through Zhu Xincheng’s eyes.]
[Perhaps this was the moment to leave.]
[If they moved quickly enough while Gao Zong was distracted, escaping this secret realm might not be impossible!]
[Just as Zhu Xincheng began to consider whether to attempt it, Gao Zong’s gaze had already shifted to her.]
"Little girl, you seem somewhat restless. Trying to mobilize divine power to leave this place? Go ahead and try. I guarantee you will perish before you can even act."
[Those words struck Zhu Xincheng like a hammer.]
[Within this secret realm, Gao Zong’s divine sense covered everything.]
[Any fluctuation of divine power would immediately draw his attention.]
[This was the control of a God Sovereign!]
[Gao Zong then turned to Ye Yu and spoke softly.]
"I wish for the Twelve High Gods to enter eternal slumber and never awaken again. Can you accomplish that?"
[Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. A trace of confusion flickered through his eyes.]
[Twelve High Gods? What in the world was that? Why had he never heard of it before?]
[But Ye Yu had no intention of voicing that question!]
[Because once he asked, Gao Zong might completely lose patience—and that would be the end of him.]
[So Ye Yu feigned difficulty and said:]
"To make them enter eternal slumber? I cannot guarantee it. I can only say I will try. By the way, do you have any other dreams?"
[While shifting the topic, Ye Yu hurriedly transmitted to Zhu Xincheng:]
"What exactly are the Twelve High Gods? Explain quickly!"
[Zhu Xincheng responded at once.]
"I don’t know much either. I only heard that old bastard mention it before. It is said that in the God Realm there are Twelve High Gods. They existed when heaven and earth were first created and wield incomparable power."
"Although they are said to reside in the God Realm, no one seems to have seen their true forms."
"Some claim the Twelve High Gods do not exist at all—that it was merely the ancient God Clan fabricating mysteries."
"But more people firmly believe they do exist."
"The Extreme Dark Night is the moment of their awakening."
[After hearing this explanation, Ye Yu’s thoughts raced.]
[If Gao Zong regarded it as a dream, then the Twelve High Gods likely truly existed and were not mere illusion.]
[But when exactly was the Extreme Dark Night?]
[And why did Gao Zong want them to enter eternal slumber?]
[None of it made any sense!]
[Gao Zong shook his head slightly and let out a faint sneer.]
"Boy, your method of stalling for time is quite clumsy. Yet you did deceive me. To think I would say such things to you. Hah... it seems I have been lonely for far too long."
"Enough. Die obediently."
[In the next second, a surge of vital aura abruptly locked onto Ye Yu, rendering him completely unable to move.]
[It was as if invisible threads had bound his entire body!]
"Damn it, this old man is serious!"
[Ye Yu clenched his teeth and, at the final moment, transmitted to Zhu Xincheng:]
"In a moment, I will buy you an instant. Run. If you get the chance, remember to avenge me!"
[Zhu Xincheng froze upon hearing this.]
[At that moment, Gao Zong had already arrived before Ye Yu and was about to raise his hand.]
[In an instant, heaven and earth changed color. This secret realm was swallowed entirely by darkness.]
[A silver moon hung high in the sky.]
[Then, gradually, it too was devoured by the darkness.]
