Forest Civilization?

Hearing the words of the black-robed man, Ye Guan frowned.

Since when did the Primordial Spirit Clan get involved with the Forest Civilization? Moreover, hasn't the Forest Civilization already relocated?

Lou Deyue also had a look of confusion in her eyes. At this moment, the blue-robed man beside her suddenly shook his head. "What a bunch of trash..."

With that, he suddenly pointed his fingers together and gestured.

Buzz!

A sword light shot up to the sky. In the sky, Qing Jue's face changed drastically, and he threw a punch downward. This punch caused the entire Primordial Spirit Land to boil, and terrifying pressures spread across countless star domains.

But in the next moment, those pressures vanished without a trace.

Swoosh!

Before everyone's eyes, a sword pierced through Qing Jue's forehead, pinning him in place, unable to move.

Everyone in the Primordial Spirit Clan was petrified.

What happened? Had he been killed? Just like that?

Qing Jue's eyes were wide open, full of disbelief. His mind was buzzing.

Beside Qing Jue, the black-robed man's expression gradually solidified. The previously mocking expression turned into one of seriousness. Even though Qing Jue's ninety percent divinity had some water content, it was still ninety percent divinity. How could he be instantly killed?

Could this person be at full divinity?

Thinking of this, the black-robed man became even more serious. He looked at the blue-robed man, hesitated, and then said, "Sir, I apologize for the earlier offense, I..."

The blue-robed man suddenly waved his sleeve.

Swoosh!

Before the black-robed man could react, he was also pinned in place by a sword, unable to move!

"Full divinity!"

The black-robed man's eyes widened. He looked at the blue-robed man in disbelief. At this moment, he was certain that this blue-robed swordsman was a full divinity elite. How was that possible? How can there be someone with hundred percent divinity out there?

The black-robed man was utterly stunned. With his strength, he thought he could dominate this outer world easily since he himself possessed ninety percent divinity. Although his divinity wasn't the purest, in the outer world, it made him virtually invincible.

But he never expected to encounter a full divinity elite right away!

Damn! So unlucky!

At this moment, the blue-robed man in the distance shook his head slightly, "Too weak, no fun at all."

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.

The black-robed man spoke solemnly, "Sir, I am from the Forest Civilization..."

The blue-robed man waved dismissively, "I'm not targeting you all specifically, but your so-called Forest Civilization is trash."

With that, he waved his sleeve, and the black-robed man was obliterated.

Qing Jue, who was beside him, stared at the blue-robed man. "Full divinity...you have one hundred percent divinity..."

The blue-robed man responded calmly, "I have one hundred and ten percent divinity."

One hundred and ten percent divinity.

Qing Jue was stunned, then angrily retorted, "There's no such thing as one hundred and ten percent divinity..."

The blue-robed man chuckled, "I can be at whatever divinity level I want. Don't like it? Fight me!"

Qing Jue was dumbfounded.

Ye Guan was speechless.

Whatever divinity level he wants?

Qing Jue glared at the blue-robed man, then opened his palm, revealing an ancient token. Without hesitation, he activated it.

Boom!

The token shot up into the sky, reaching deep into the stars.

The blue-robed man shook his head slightly, "Calling for backup again."

Ye Guan remarked, "I think he's summoning an ancestor."

Then he looked at the blue-robed man, "Can I summon an ancestor too?"

As he journeyed, he'd seen many people summon their ancestors.

The blue-robed man laughed, "Maybe you should try next time?"

Ye Guan laughed heartily.

As the token ignited into a flame, an ethereal old man slowly materialized—the ancestor of the Primordial Spirit Clan.

Seeing this old man, countless members of the Primordial Spirit Clan knelt down. Qing Zhi had a complex expression but also bowed respectfully. Lou Deyue, on the other hand, was curious, as it was rumored that this ancestor was nearly at full divinity.

Once the ancestor appeared, he scanned the scene, and his gaze finally landed on the blue-robed man. Upon seeing him, the old man frowned slightly.

The blue-robed man smiled slightly but said nothing.

The old man stared at him for a while before sighing softly, "Sir, is there any way to resolve this matter peacefully?"

Hearing this, Qing Jue's face turned pale, and the other Primordial Spirit Clan members were filled with despair, collapsing to the ground.

Lou Deyue sighed softly. She knew that the Primordial Spirit Clan's ancestor sensed the blue-robed man's strength and recognized his own inferiority.

Full divinity? Lou Deyue turned to look at the blue-robed man. This swordsman was at least at one hundred percent divinity.

Truly, there is always someone stronger.

The blue-robed man did not respond immediately but instead turned to Ye Guan and said with a smile, "As your grandfather, I will listen to you. If you say to destroy them, the Primordial Spirit Clan will disappear from the world. If you say to spare them, they can live."

Ye Guan's choice. Everyone from the Primordial Spirit Clan turned to look at Ye Guan. Qing Zhi also looked at him, her hands slowly clenching, but she remained silent.

Ye Guan remained silent for a moment before turning to Qing Zhi. "Miss Qing Zhi, you should take your people and leave."

Qing Zhi's people! Qing Zhi felt a sense of relief and, with a complex expression, bowed respectfully. "Thank you."

Ye Guan shook his head. "No need for that."

Qing Zhi was about to speak when the Primordial Spirit Clan ancestor suddenly pressed his palm down, and a terrifying force obliterated Qing Jue. Everyone was puzzled until the ancestor spoke, "From now on, Qing Zhi will be the clan leader of the Primordial Spirit Clan."

Everyone was stunned!

The old man then opened his palm, and a mysterious ring floated to Qing Zhi. He smiled, "Inside this ring are my life's teachings, savings, and a trace of my soul. From this moment on, you are the clan leader of the Primordial Spirit Clan."

Qing Zhi was at a loss for words.

The old man then looked at the blue-robed man and smiled, "There are always stronger people out there. I learned that today."

With that, his body became ethereal and disappeared.

The surviving Primordial Spirit Clan members finally came to their senses and respectfully bowed to Qing Zhi, "Greetings, Clan Leader."

Clan Leader!

Everyone knelt and anxiously waited.

They understood the ancestor's intention, but ultimately, it depended on Ye Guan.

Qing Zhi did not acknowledge the clan members but turned to Ye Guan in the distance, biting her lip without speaking.

Ye Guan did not speak either.

Qing Zhi lowered her head, her hands trembling slightly.

Then, Ye Guan suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Qing Zhi, do you remember our promise?"

Qing Zhi looked at him, puzzled.

Ye Guan smiled. "We promised to explore the Shenxu Forest together."

Qing Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly. "I remember."

Ye Guan smiled. "I'll come find you then...and remember, I meant it when I said we're friends."

He then turned to the blue-robed man. "Grandfather, let's go."

The blue-robed man smiled. "Alright."

With that, the grandfather and grandson disappeared from the scene.

Everyone in the Primordial Spirit Clan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Qing Zhi's face lit up with a radiant smile.

She knew that this man truly regarded her as a very good friend.

Elsewhere, a woman watched this scene with a complex expression. This woman was Qing An, the one who had first led Ye Guan into the Primordial Spirit Clan.

Friends? If only I had chosen differently back then, we could have been friends too.

Unfortunately, she had chosen to distance herself from him to avoid her clan's disapproval. He hadn't been angry at her at the time.

Why wasn't he angry? Because he didn't take the Primordial Spirit Clan seriously! The clan's so-called pride was nothing but a joke to him.

Qing An shook her head slightly and turned to leave.

On the other side, Lou Deyue approached Qing Zhi with a slight smile. "Congratulations."

Although the Primordial Spirit Clan had suffered a devastating blow in this battle, they were not annihilated, and their foundation remained intact. After all, the blue-robed man had only killed some of the top Primordial Spirit Clan members. Furthermore, Guanxuan Academy had not plundered the Primordial Spirit Clan.

Therefore, if the Primordial Spirit Clan developed well, they could potentially return to their former glory. The most crucial aspect was that Guanxuan Academy and the Primordial Spirit Clan, once mortal enemies, now had an unusual relationship.

Qing Zhi glanced around, her expression complex. This battle had nearly wiped out the Primordial Spirit Clan, teaching her a valuable lesson. No matter how powerful the Primordial Spirit Clan became in the future, they must remain humble.

Lou Deyue suddenly asked, "You agreed to explore the Shenxu Forest together?"

Qing Zhi looked at her and nodded slightly. "I mentioned it before but I never thought he took it seriously..."

Lou Deyue blinked. "You should seize this opportunity."

Qing Zhi understood what Lou Deyue meant and shook her head with a smile. "We're just very good friends."

Lou Deyue scoffed, "If he wasn't interested in you, would he have spared the Primordial Spirit Clan and refrained from plundering your resources?"

Plundering their resources. When civilizations engage in wars, it often results in resource plundering. The Primordial Spirit Clan, having accumulated resources for so many years, must be incredibly wealthy. Yet, Ye Guan chose not to plunder them. The reason for this was undoubtedly Qing Zhi. If they were just friends, would he have acted this way?

Allowing her people to leave and not exterminating them was already very lenient. In wars between civilizations, it's common to eradicate the enemy completely to prevent future threats.

Qing Zhi shook her head with a smile. "Let's not talk about this anymore. What are your plans next?"

Lou Deyue smiled, "Work with Guanxuan Academy wholeheartedly and develop together."

Qing Zhi nodded. "That sounds good."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something and looked at Lou Deyue, "Why don't you marry Ye Guan? If you marry him and have a son, wouldn't it be easy for your Shen Zhi Civilization to return to its peak?"

Lou Deyue blinked. "It doesn't sound like a bad idea. Haha...Besides, that guy is quite handsome. Sleeping with him would be totally acceptable..."

Qing Zhi was rendered speechless.
