I Beat Up Npcs in a Bizarre World

251: Chapter 251: By the Yellow SpringsAt the entrance to the Yellow Springs Shore, souls bustled about.

In the Yellow Springs on either side, one broken soul after another struggled.

Lord Yan also appeared here.

When Qian Ye arrived, she saw the grave expression on Lord Yan’s face.

”I never expected them to be so ruthless, using the souls of these immortals to erode the power of the Yellow Springs Shore.”

Ordinary souls all go directly into the Yan Palace; only the souls of gods, demons, monsters, and immortals flow into the Yellow Springs Shore.

After all, the lifespans of those gods, immortals, and demons cannot be measured in years.

It is just unexpected that the longer they live, the greedier they become; instead of thinking about how to improve their cultivation, they only think about how to gain without working, hoping to live as long as the heavens.

”These, these souls are immortals?” Meng Yu was somewhat shocked.

So, becoming an immortal does not mean having eternal life.

”The saying that ’a man’s greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant’ never just referred to humans; sometimes, their greed is even more terrifying than that of humans,” Qian Ye sneered.

Back then, to seal away All Evils, she was the only one left of the six Domain Envoys. Now that they enjoy peace, they have forgotten everything from the past.

”What should be done about these souls right now?” Lord Yan’s face was ashen.

The Yellow Springs Shore was not under his jurisdiction, so he could only ask Qian Ye what to do.

Qian Ye shook her head. ”These souls are beyond saving.”

They were truly ruthless; these souls were already on the verge of collapse.

If they were rescued from the Yellow Springs Shore, they would immediately dissipate into nothingness.

”Then the Yellow Springs Shore...” Lord Yan was somewhat worried.

Currently, the Yellow Springs Shore is relying solely on Qian Ye to hold it up; at this rate, the power of the Yellow Springs Shore will be eroded very quickly.

By then, the sealing power of the Floating Life Pagoda could be easily broken by them.

Qian Ye shook her head. ”It’s already too late; they have prepared for both contingencies.”

”Besides here, they have tampered with things; even the Floating Life Pagoda was infiltrated by them at some unknown point.”

”There are many ordinary humans inside now, and their vitality is being used to counteract the sealing power of the Floating Life Pagoda.”

Lord Yan’s face turned ashen as he listened. ”Utterly foolish.”

Once All Evils are released, it won’t just be a matter for the Divine Realm; all living beings in the six realms will suffer.

Qian Ye reached out her hand, and a golden key floated above it.

”This couldn’t be...” Lord Yan had a guess.

Qian Ye nodded. ”This is the key to the Floating Life Pagoda. They couldn’t get the key, so they used me to gather the fragments.”

”Back then, they split the key into fragments and randomly sealed them within the Floating Life Pagoda. I didn’t expect them to be utilized in this way.”

”Then this... key...” Lord Yan’s eyes flickered.

The next second, to his surprise, Qian Ye handed the key directly into his hands. ”You keep the key for now.”

”The Yellow Springs Shore is going to be closed temporarily. You all go to the Yan Domain and wait for me; I will be there shortly.” Qian Ye gave a few instructions, telling them to leave first.

She handed Xiao Hua to Meng Yu and headed alone towards the depths of the Yellow Springs Shore.

Meng Yu knew that place; it was the final resting place of the Five Domain Envoys.

Meng Yu felt a sense of unease.

”Big Shot, you...” Qian Ye patted her shoulder and left first.

”Keep him safe; don’t let him leave your side.”

”But...” Meng Yu was genuinely worried; she had a feeling the Big Shot was about to do something major.

”Listen to the Big Shot.” Tai You pulled her along; they couldn’t help her right now anyway.

They could only follow her arrangements.

”Don’t hesitate; let’s leave first.” Even Lord Yan couldn’t bear to watch any longer; they were of no use here right now.

The moment they stepped out of the Yellow Springs Shore, a red barrier spread across the entire Yellow Springs Shore.

”Stasis.”

”This is the only thing I can do for now.”

”I can only temporarily relieve you of your pain.”

”Waiting for everything to settle...” Qian Ye looked deeply at everything here.

Her eyes held reluctance.

This was the place she had stayed for ten thousand years.

The happiness of the past felt like it was only yesterday.

Qian Ye arrived at the depths once more.

She looked up at the five giant monuments before her, her eyes filled with sorrow.

”I thought such a day would never come.”

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with determination.

She slashed her wrist with her fingertip, and her red blood transformed into threads that coiled in mid-air.

If you looked closely, a hint of gold was mixed within the red.

”Go.”

The blood-colored threads moved towards the five monuments, connecting them one by one.

”Hum, hum, hum...” The giant monuments emitted a sorrowful wail.

”Hum, hum, hum...”

Resisting the approach of the blood-colored threads.

”You...”

Until a piercing wail broke through the air, and the five giant monuments emitted a blinding light.

As the light faded, a figure appeared before each of the giant monuments.

”Little Six.”

”Liu’er...”

”Xiao Yao.”

”Ye Ye.”

”Great Demon.”

”I didn’t expect that we would meet one last time in this way.”

”We left behind our final sliver of consciousness, just in case...”

”Although we are reluctant to part with you, we still hoped this final sliver of consciousness would never be triggered.”

”I didn’t expect it would ultimately come to this...”

”We know your origins are mysterious, but we still do not wish for you to pay a huge price for our sakes.”

”Do not try to resurrect us again.”

”You still have your own mission.”

”We know you can do it.”

”We hope that you can choose new Five Domain Envoys to protect the six realms.”

”We are already a bunch of old fogies, hahahaha...”

”It’s not worth it... it’s not worth it anymore...”

”Death is inevitable; it may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai.”

”Go now; there are still companions waiting for you.”

After finishing, the five figures looked at Qian Ye gently, slowly dissipating into the heavens and earth.

Above their giant monuments, five crystals floated in mid-air.

Along with the fading voices came the final sentence: ”This is the last gift we leave behind.”

The sorrow in Qian Ye’s eyes had not yet faded as she looked at the crystals, her eyes filled with shock.

”You...”

To think you sealed your entire life’s divine power inside.

At the same time, the red barrier suddenly trembled.

Outside, Meng Yu’s expression changed.

”Not good, I sense a hostile aura.”

Hearing this, Lord Yan cast a surprised glance at her; he hadn’t expected a mere mortal to have such keen insight.

”You all wait here for the Sovereign; I will go out and take a look.” Lord Yan left this sentence and disappeared immediately.

He didn’t even give them a chance to speak.

”What do we do now?”

”Are we just supposed to wait here doing nothing?” Meng Yu was somewhat anxious.

”Listen to the Big Shot.” Tai You comforted her.

But wasn’t he also comforting himself?

”Wait.”

Listening to Blue Shadow’s consistently cold and aloof manner, Meng Yu gritted her teeth. ”It’s already at this point, why are you still so calm?”

Blue Shadow raised its eyes to look at her but said nothing.

What good would it do to not be calm? They were just a group of humans; how could they contend against a group of gods?

The only thing they could do now was trust the Big Shot.

”Oh my, rest assured.”

”She will definitely have a way.” Xiao Hua was very confident in Qian Ye.

”Hmm, why do I feel so light?” As Xiao Hua was speaking, it suddenly felt as if it were floating.
