Chapter 1131 The Real Beginning: Taking the Initiative!
"By the way, you should have a use for this thing, right?" Night Owl handed the red soul of the Fire Spirit Priest to Night Song: "Here, take it yourself."
As a human with demonic blood, Night Owl cannot seize divine power by absorbing divine souls.
The same was true for Ye Qingxin, Ye Yulong, Ye Yang, Ye Mengyu, and others. This power, containing the essence of the divine officials, was like a mirage to them.
Ye Ge held the red divine soul, then looked at Ye Xiao and saw the changes in his attribute panel through the system. He smiled and said, "Your strength has improved quite a bit recently."
"We really have to thank you for providing the place." Night Owl grinned. "Even your grandfather didn't want to leave."
Ye Ge smiled; he knew that Grandpa Ye Quan had always been obsessed with cultivation.
On the ground, the Fire Spirit Priest's soulless body was undergoing a strange transformation. The elemental energy that constituted his body, having lost its core support, began to silently decompose and dissipate like a weathered sand sculpture, turning into specks of light like fireflies, and finally disappearing completely into the air without leaving a trace.
As Night Owl watched the fading light, the smile on his face faded, and his tone became serious: "However, after the Water Spirit Priest last time, you have now killed one of the Five Element Priests, the Fire Spirit Priest. The Priest Palace will definitely not let this go. Tsk... This is really a headache. You'd better think of a solution yourself."
Night Song: "...Wasn't it you who killed him this time?"
"It's all the same, it's all the same." Night Owl waved his hand casually, instantly reverting to his carefree boss demeanor. "Alright, I'm leaving. I need to go back to cultivate. I'll leave the rest of the mess to you."
Night Song: "..."
The owl left.
"Although I knew long ago that Ye Ge was very popular with women," Ye Yang said, standing at the back of the crowd, gently nudging Ye Yulong beside him with his elbow. He lowered his voice, his tone filled with the amazement of gossiping, "I never expected that he could even win over the Flame Demon Lord of the Demon Clan."
Ye Yulong crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the wall covered with battle marks, saying nonchalantly, "Anyway, this is a good thing for our Ye family... I'm thinking that perhaps one day, our Ye family will be able to end the conflicts between the myriad races without shedding a drop of blood or losing a single soldier, and bring true and lasting peace to this land."
Ye Yang was stunned: "Huh? Really? How did you do that?"
"Let Ye Ge seduce the royal princesses, empresses, or female lords of every race in the top 100 of the myriad races. Marry one if you can," Ye Yulong said leisurely. "If we turn all the top 100 races into our own, then there will be no more wars on the myriad races' territory."
Ye Yang: "..."
Ye Ge could clearly feel the complex and conflicted gazes from the women behind him. He coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty, and tried to change the subject: "Ahem, well... you guys just fought with the Fire Spirit Priest, you must all be injured, right? I'll call Ye Zi over to heal you."
"No need," Long Ying said softly. "We're all fine. Yu Li protected each of us with a divine barrier. We only have minor superficial injuries and energy shocks. There's nothing serious about it."
Ye Ge nodded, feeling somewhat relieved: "That's good."
At this moment, Yan Ji, who had been silent all along, pondered for a moment and raised her hand. A faint crimson magical light swirled around her fingertips, and with a gentle wave, a warm and vibrant magical power, like an invisible tide, gently swept over Yu Li and the slightly tired people in the room.
Yu Li's pale face regained its rosy color almost at a visible speed, and the intense emptiness caused by the depletion of energy in her body was quickly replaced by a surge of power.
The others also felt their minor scratches heal instantly, and their depleted physical and spiritual energy flowed back like a dried-up spring. The various values on the Deep Blue System panel quickly returned to full.
Feeling the comfort in her body, Yu Li looked at Yan Ji and said sincerely, "Thank you, Yan Ji... sister."
"It's nothing," Yan Ji replied casually. She could sense the delicate nature of her situation—as a newcomer and the high-ranking Demon Lord of the Demon Clan, she probably wouldn't be able to establish a close relationship with the girls around Ye Ge anytime soon, and a subtle awkwardness filled the air. She turned to Ye Ge, her tone carrying a hint of detachment: "Since everything's alright here, I'll head back to the Demon Realm. I still need to report back to the Demon Lord."
“Okay,” Ye Ge replied, her eyes gentle.
However, just as Yan Ji turned to leave, a message that only she could see quietly popped up on her private system panel:
[Night Song: But I'm still quite happy to hear you admit it with your own ears.]
Yan Ji paused almost imperceptibly, a blush creeping up her ears. Without turning back to look at Ye Ge, her red dress billowed as black and red flames rose, enveloping her figure before vanishing instantly, leaving only a wisp of scorching heat.
"Hey, hey." Nangong Qiuyue moved closer to Ye Ge and poked his waist: "Hmph, you womanizer... By the way, can this Yan Ji Demon Lord really be trusted? She's a demon."
"Don't worry." Ye Ge smiled helplessly.
"Anyway, Xiao Ge has the special charm to 'turn all pretty girls into love-struck fools,'" Ye Mengyu said with a grin. "So I think there shouldn't be any problems~"
Everyone: "..."
Then, Ye Ge listened to everyone recount everything that had happened before he arrived.
"I see." Ye Ge looked at Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao: "It's good that you discovered that guy was following you."
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The Temple of the High Priests and the Gene Company are targeting us more and more frequently," Gao Shenxue said softly.
Ye Ge raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Yes... but they've attacked so many times, and they're always the ones who suffer heavy losses. They should be furious by now."
The gene company lost several directors of Wanzu.
Of the Five Elements Gods, three have already been lost, leaving only the Metal Spirit God and the Earth Spirit God.
Moreover, they even gave them two divine souls for free.
And then...
Night Song was just about to truly begin taking the initiative!
