CHAPTER 538: CHAPTER 538: TIME EMPRESS: HE IS THE TREND OF THIS UNIVERSE! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

"!"

The two Innate Divine Spirits had utterly lost interest in bathing in the Spiritual Spring; these words startled them into standing, revealing their proud, hairless, graceful forms.

One of them, surrounded by the Rule Origin of Destruction, said,

"The Cosmic Great Race has invaded Blue Star, we, all the Divine Spirits, must unite and first eliminate that Cosmic Great Race."

"There was no need for us to go to the battlefield in the Milky Way Galaxy, either."

"For the next hundred years, we shall purge all foreign races from Blue Star!"

The other, shrouded in the Rule Origin of Reincarnation, responded, "That’s right!"

"Blue Star is our foundation, the root of establishing the Dao; we cannot allow outsiders to taint it."

"Big Sister, hurry and notify all Innate Divine Spirits to hold a meeting for purging the outsiders."

The Space Ancestor Empress nodded, "That is indeed necessary."

"But even I could do nothing to them, so if you acted, it would be to no avail."

"This Cosmic Great Race member, he was far from simple!"

She waved her hand, and a screen appeared above, displaying the Endless Void.

The Destruction-type Innate Divine Spirit asked in confusion, "What’s this? There’s nothing here?"

The Space Ancestor Empress’s lips curved bitterly, "They are in this direction, having entered a palace. That palace is of such exalted rank that, unless it reveals itself, even if I know its location, I cannot observe its circumstances."

Upon hearing this, the two Innate Divine Spirits were instantly shocked to their core.

After all, the Space Ancestor Empress was the rule origin will of Blue Star; she could see whatever happened in any space and shadow-space on Blue Star, appear instantly at any place, and even strike remotely at any location.

"Big Sister, are you saying that after you went there, you also could not see that Cosmic Great Race member, nor could you strike at him?"

The Destruction Ancestral Divine Spirit asked, startled.

The Space Ancestor Empress nodded, replying helplessly, "Yes!"

The two Divine Spirits found this extremely troubling.

*It’s right there, perhaps right before you, yet you cannot perceive it, cannot touch it, cannot inflict any effective attack upon it.*

"That is a Cosmic Great Race above Star System rank!" The Reincarnation-type Innate Divine Spirit drew a sharp breath.

The image of an extraordinarily handsome youth flashed through the Space Ancestor Empress’s mind; shaking her head, she said, "He may not have a Realm above the Star System level, but the Supreme Treasure he possesses does surpass that rank."

"Of course, there might be an existence above the Star System rank supporting him from behind."

The Reincarnation and Destruction Divine Spirits both nodded.

The Space Ancestor Empress swept her hand, putting the scenes she had witnessed onto the upper screen.

These were images of her encountering Xiao Ye and his group, as well as their standoff with the Space-Time Hall.

"Among these foreigners, this male outsider is the leader—the Supreme Palace also seems temporarily under his control."

"Throughout my confrontation with them, it was always the male outsider speaking, always in command."

The Reincarnation-type Divine Spirit, Liu Mei, frowned incredulously, "These folks don’t seem like outsiders—they look human."

"I have governed Blue Star’s reincarnation for hundreds of thousands of years; none understands humanity here more deeply than I."

Her beautiful eyes shone with light.

The reincarnation, birthplaces, family relationships, and other details about Ziran, Yun Bing, the White-haired Maiden, Qin Xi’Er, Liu Ya, and the rest instantly surfaced in her mind.

"These women are all pure-blooded Blue Star humans."

"As for this youth, I can see not a single trace of reincarnation or past lives—only a dense golden mist."

"On the surface, he appears no different from a human, yet he really could be a disguised member of the Cosmic Great Race."

The Destruction-type Divine Spirit said irritably, "Then seize the families of these women and use them to threaten that outsider—I noticed that outsider seems to care deeply about these women."

"Perhaps we could use the families of these women to coerce that outsider!"

"I’ve kept my Destruction Origin from showing itself to the world for so long; maybe it’s time to make an appearance, too!"

The Space Ancestor Empress hooked her lips, "Very well, send all these people to the Starry Battlefield as cannon fodder."

Just then, a vast and ethereal voice resounded through that Endless Void.

"No!"

"You must not harm him!"

Upon hearing this, the three Divine Spirits at the spring all wore shock on their flawless faces.

All three of them stood up simultaneously, revealing their snow-white, hairless, delicate bodies; from afar, they looked like undulating mountain peaks, rising and falling.

The Ancestral Empress rasped in a loud voice, "Time Divine Spirit, is that you?"

"Weren’t you already at rest?"

"How have you reappeared again?"

The other two Divine Spirits beamed with joy.

That ethereal yet vast voice rang out once more, its tone tinged with exasperation and doubt, "You’re the one who’s dead. I am the God of Time—if time does not perish, I remain."

The Ancestral Empress cried out excitedly, "Sister, where did you go? Why have you not appeared for five hundred thousand years?"

"After raising me to maturity, you vanished without a trace—do you know how bitterly I’ve searched for you?"

"I’ve scoured more than a dozen Star Systems around the Milky Way Galaxy for any sign of you, but found nothing."

The Destruction and Reincarnation Divine Spirits fell silent.

*The Time Empress was the earliest of the Innate Divine Spirits to gain will; after allowing the Space Ancestor Sister to take form, she had simply turned away, disappearing for hundreds of thousands of years—everyone thought she was dead.*

*Yet the Space Origin Sis always believed the Time Divine Spirit had not perished, even growing obsessed with invading other Star Systems, all to search for the Time Divine Spirit.*

The Time Divine Spirit did not respond for a long while. After some time, she spoke, "Space Divine Spirit, you resemble humanity more and more, possessing complex human emotions."

"Space Sister, you’ve suffered during this period!"

When the Space Ancestor Empress heard this, her eyes grew red and she choked out, "It’s nothing—I’m just glad you aren’t dead."

The Reincarnation-type Divine Spirit asked doubtfully, "Time Divine Spirit, where did you go? Why did you hide for so long?"

The ethereal voice, carrying a note of helplessness, said,

"I went to seek the path to ascend above the Emperor Realm."

"After striving so long, although I’ve gained something, it’s not proportional to what I’ve given."

The Space Ancestor Empress’s face lit with surprise, "Sister, have you ascended beyond the Emperor Realm?"

"Can you tell us what you experienced?"

The Destruction and Reincarnation Divine Spirits were also deeply curious.

The vast voice hesitated, "The road for us—beings of Rule Origin Will—to ascend is too arduous. It’s better for you to remain in the Milky Way Galaxy of Blue Star."

"Space Divine Spirit, if you wish to rise above the Emperor Realm, perhaps I can point you to a clear path!"

"That road is connected to that youth."

The Ancestral Empress was confused, "The youth?"

The airy voice responded, "Yes, the youth you encountered not long ago. I can tell you clearly, he is not an outsider, but a pure Blue Star human."

"If you follow him, you can smoothly ascend beyond the Emperor Realm, to Star Domain rank, perhaps even the Cosmic Level."

The Ancestral Empress was even more puzzled, "Why?"

The Time Empress replied,

"Because he is the trend of this universe!"

"The Human Emperor who shall lead our Blue Star to rise!"
