The sphere was still slowly expanding, just like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with the red and blue colors distinct, each occupying half.
"Ye Qiu! Xiao Lan is inside."
Seeing Dugu Yan about to rush over, Ye Qiu immediately stepped forward and pulled her back.
If that power were to spread, she wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Don't go over there! I'll do it!"
Ye Qiu's Sharingan activated, and he immediately entered the six-pointed star state.
The purple three-leaf pinwheel, which had originally overlapped with the six-pointed star and was the same size as it, had shrunk considerably and was about to embed itself within the six-pointed star!
Ye Qiu could clearly feel that his pupil power had increased significantly, and using the Sharingan seemed to be much more effortless!
"How could this be! I can't see through it?!"
He was stunned in surprise.
After activating the Sharingan's clairvoyance ability, his vision was completely unable to penetrate the sphere.
He quickly called out to Xiao Lan through the seed of life in his body, but he received no response.
"Damn it! Never mind!"
Ye Qiu's face darkened.
Although Xiao Lan had left a soul imprint in his body and wouldn't truly die, the energy required for rebirth would definitely be considerable!
Tap!
Ye Qiu rushed forward directly, then leaped high into the air.
"Susanoo!"
In the air, blood-red ribs enveloped him, and a thick arm stretched out from behind him, its fist raised high!
He brought it down fiercely onto the red hemisphere, from top to bottom!
Boom!
A loud explosion, invisible ripples vibrated outwards, and the surrounding mist was all evaporated and dispelled!
A wave of heat swept over, scorching Ye Qiu's skin crimson, and even the surrounding Susanoo showed signs of shattering!
"Ugh, how could this be!" Ye Qiu grunted, staring in shock at the strange, unmoving sphere in front of him.
This level of heat actually far surpassed that of the Fiery Apricot Passionate Consort!
"Roar!"
At the stalemate, a high-pitched, clear, and ancient roar echoed.
Bang!
"Pfft!" Without warning, the blood-colored skeleton surrounding him melted and shattered, and Ye Qiu spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward.
"Ye Qiu!" Dugu Yan exclaimed, about to run over and catch Ye Qiu!
"I'm fine!" Ye Qiu stopped his backward flight by relying on the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone's flying ability, while the Spirit Bone and Spirit Ability's healing abilities also followed suit!
"What's going on?! Xiao Lan's Spirit Abilities can't even be used anymore."
Ye Qiu's expression began to grow serious, and he felt a little anxious.
Suddenly, two completely opposite auras of pressure descended upon the entire valley.
"Roar!"
Two different roars, one after another, as if they had been suppressed for countless years, constantly frolicking!
"Ye, Ye Qiu! What kind of Spirit Beast is that?!"
Dugu Yan pointed at the huge sphere that had expanded to a diameter of 3 meters.
She saw that on the sphere, a dragon-shaped Spirit Beast was coiled on each of the red and blue halves!
"This is… the remnant souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King!"
Ye Qiu stared blankly at the two dragon-shaped Spirit Beasts above, no! He should say… Divine Beasts!
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed because of the demise of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, when the two dragons' corpses fell together into the Sunset Forest!
Ye Qiu had originally planned to explore it later, but he never expected them to appear at such a time!
The phantoms of the Ice and Fire Dragon Souls only emerged for a moment before submerging back into the sphere.
Not long after!
"Hmph!" Ye Qiu let out a muffled groan, as two colored lights flashed and alternated continuously from his heart, as if something was about to burst out of his body!
Under the unbearable pain, Ye Qiu's spirit power within his body became chaotic, and he fell down headfirst.
Thump!
"Ye Qiu!" Dugu Yan rushed over in a panic, helping Ye Qiu up and letting him lean back in her arms.
Ye Qiu, however, paid no attention, blood flowing from his right eye.
In his vision, black flames ignited on the sphere, yet they left no trace on the sphere.
It only stripped off a thin layer of energy from above.
At the same time, a voice that went straight to his soul entered Ye Qiu's mind.
"Human! Rest assured, we won't harm her!"
…
While Ye Qiu was struggling to break open the two-colored sphere.
Xiao Lan, who was inside, was no longer so flustered.
Because she had already fainted.
She floated quietly in the air, her breathing steady and strong, and the green mark on her forehead constantly flickered.
The aura emanating from it was quiet, peaceful, and full of vitality!
The two dragon souls kept circling around her.
"Did you see clearly?" The ice-blue Ice Dragon King asked the Fire Dragon King.
"Hmm! I didn't expect this Blue Silver Emperor to actually gain the recognition of the seed of life!" The Fire Dragon King beside him nodded.
"Yes! It's a pity she hasn't reached level 60 yet! And the seed of life needs an extraordinary amount of energy to grow into a super divine artifact…"
"Since that's the case, why don't we devour it, so we can extend our lives for tens of thousands of years!" The Fire Dragon King flew to Xiao Lan's head, a hint of greed flashing in its eyes.
"Hmph! After all these years, can't you learn to use your brain like me when you do things?!"
"Roar!" The Fire Dragon King roared, "Are you trying to fight again?!"
"Hmph! Short-sighted thing!" The Ice Dragon King snorted coldly, never expecting that after death, it would have to be buried with this annoying fellow.
"You'd better make yourself clear to me! Hmph~" The Fire Dragon King exhaled a breath of dragon flame, which the Ice Dragon King easily dodged.
"You only think about lingering on in the form of a remnant soul… But I! I see the hope of our rebirth!" The Ice Dragon King's voice carried a hint of excitement!
"Rebirth!? Explain it clearly, you!" Bang! The Fire Dragon King flew in front of the Ice Dragon King and spat out a stream of fire.
The Ice Dragon King snorted coldly, and with a puff from its nostrils, the flames were extinguished by a cold current.
It ignored the Fire Dragon King's provocation; it had long been immune to the Fire Dragon King's bad temper!
The Ice Dragon King circled Xiao Lan, its gaze fixed on her glabella.
"In this lower realm, to fully activate the seed of life, there might be no one else besides the two of us!"
The Ice Dragon King grew more and more excited as it spoke!
"We can become the foundation for the growth of this seed of life! Re-enter the God Realm! And even rely on it… to re-cultivate our origin!"
Its gaze returned to the Fire Dragon King, its words carrying a deeper meaning.
"Therefore… I will sacrifice myself to the seed of life, to lend her a hand!"
"Are you crazy?! Sacrifice? If she dies prematurely, both you and I will be doomed!"
"Doomed? Haha…" The Ice Dragon King sneered, "What's the difference between us lingering here for Ten Thousand Year and just disappearing?!"
"No! The risk is too great, just as you said, the resources needed for the seed of life to grow are truly enormous!"
"Haha~ When did you become such a coward?" The Ice Dragon King looked at it mockingly.
"I'm not being a coward, I'm just waiting for the right opportunity! Besides… those guys in the God Realm aren't fools…"
"Right! They're not fools! Since the creation of the God Realm, has the Life Ancient Tree ever borne a second seed? If she really encounters danger, do you think they would stand by and do nothing to destroy it?"
The Ice Dragon King's voice carried a hint of nostalgia and a hint of hatred, then it became triumphant.
"Besides, what do you think of that kid outside?"
At the Ice Dragon King's words, the Fire Dragon King also fell silent.
The Ice Dragon King continued to press its advantage!
"The people of the God Realm aren't fools, wouldn't they want such a genius? Besides, he has a deep relationship with this little girl!"
"That kid is a human!" The Fire Dragon King was still putting up a final struggle.
"Hehe… I've never seen him casually slaughter Spirit Beasts…" Immediately, the Ice Dragon King looked at Xiao Lan again, "Besides, this Blue Silver Emperor is also a Spirit Beast, even after she reaches level 60, she will still be the empress of the Blue Silver Emperor clan!"
"Despicable! Did you look through the little girl's memories?!" The Fire Dragon King's voice rumbled.
"Hehe… After being dormant here for so many years, don't tell me you don't want to see what the outside world is like?!" The Ice Dragon King sneered, then became serious.
"Decide!"
"Haha…!" The Fire Dragon King burst into laughter, "It seems you're destined not to leave me!"
"Yeah… this way, it won't be too lonely! Even though your temper is a bit bad!"
"Hmph! You're not exactly humble either!"
"Haha…!" As the words fell, the two looked at each other and both burst into laughter.
Then, they circled Xiao Lan, and golden flames ignited on their remaining remnant souls.
They slowly drew closer, like a rotating, unconventional Tai Chi symbol, enclosing Xiao Lan in the middle.
Xiao Lan was also affected by the golden flames, a hint of pain appeared on her face, and when her soul was about to be tainted by the golden flames.
A small emerald green seed flew out from her forehead, protecting Xiao Lan.
Gradually, the Fire Dragon King transformed into a drop of red liquid, and the Ice Dragon King transformed into a drop of blue liquid, slowly drawing closer and merging together.
They transformed into a miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
The emerald green seed, which was spinning around, seemed to be attracted by something and directly rooted itself.
The seed slowly sprouted new shoots, resembling Xiao Lan's true form, the Blue Silver Emperor, but with two additional colors…
Then, it returned to Xiao Lan's glabella, sinking into it.
…
Outside, after hearing that voice, Ye Qiu still couldn't rest assured.
Just as he was about to try using his Divine Might again, a piercing pain came from his heart!
"Ye Qiu…" Dugu Yan stood in the distance, not daring to approach.
Her eyes were filled with intense worry; she didn't know why Ye Qiu was like this.
The heat emanating from Ye Qiu's body at that moment was simply something she couldn't withstand.
Sitting cross-legged, Ye Qiu bit his teeth tightly, every inch of his skin, spirit power, and bones throughout his body were experiencing a torment like calcination.
After the calcination, there was a chilling cold that numbed his nerves.
Boiling blood surged frantically into his heart, then turned into a cold current and flowed out.
The two flowed back, stirring up a vortex in his heart, and a tiny Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well slowly formed.
The seed in his heart also sprouted new shoots, its roots intertwining and tangling in his flesh, exuding a powerful vitality.
He could even hear the beating of his heart…
Crack!
Above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the sphere finally stopped expanding; instead, cracks appeared, turning into wisps of red and blue threads.
"Xiao Lan…" Dugu Yan nervously watched the sky above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Those red and blue threads quickly surged towards the center, and within the flowing light, the body of a young girl seemed to appear faintly.
A fragrant aroma wafted over, and the unease in Dugu Yan's heart seemed to be soothed, and Ye Qiu's chaotic breathing also showed signs of stabilizing.
The light slowly dissipated, revealing a pair of jade feet, followed by a pair of slender, fair long legs.
Beyond the curves was a willowy waist with not an ounce of excess flesh, and blue waist-length hair flowed in the wind.
Her figure was remarkable, her collarbones exquisite, and her porcelain-like face was devoid of expression, yet it still made people feel amazed.
Her eyes were one blue and one red, with a green mark on her glabella, exuding vibrant vitality.
She embodied both majesty and gentleness, nobility and approachability!
On the ground in front of Ye Qiu, frost formed, and she lightly landed on the ground, her body transforming into a shimmering dress, with several silk ribbons wrapped around her body, flowing backward, like a divine maiden.
Dugu Yan, who was beside her, was also stunned.
Who is this?! Where did Xiao Lan go?
Until she slowly walked towards Ye Qiu.
With every step, frost formed where her feet landed.
She stood in front of Ye Qiu, quietly looking at him.
"You, who are you?!" Dugu Yan, snapping out of her daze, immediately tried to block her, her two legs transforming into snake tails, her Spirit already attached to her body!
"What did you do to Xiao Lan?! Don't get close to him!"
The tall woman's eyes suddenly showed a hint of liveliness, and a lovely smile appeared on her expressionless face.
This formed a strong contrast with her attire.
This strange scene made Dugu Yan freeze in place; she only felt that the smile was somewhat familiar, her eyes were equally full of spirituality, and her smile made people feel equally calm.
"Sister Yan Yan, how could Xiao Lan hurt Brother?"
Her voice was as clear and melodious as an oriole.
Like a dream!
"Xiao, Xiao Lan?!"
Hearing her address, Dugu Yan stared at her blankly, somewhat in disbelief!
Slowly, her gaze became strange, as she looked her up and down, paying special attention to her prominent features.
She was clearly a little kid just now, how did she become so much more magnificent than herself in an instant?!
Did Xiao Lan grow into a big Lan?
Being stared at by Dugu Yan, Xiao Lan also felt her face flush slightly.
She herself wasn't quite used to walking now either.
Without further delay, a green glow flowed from her fingertips, and she pointed it at Ye Qiu, whose body surface had already turned to charcoal.
Crack!
Upon touching his forehead, the layer of charcoal began to shatter and scatter with the wind.
Ye Qiu's clothes had also been burned away long ago.
"Hmph~ This lecher!"
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen him, Dugu Yan still blushed and softly cursed under her breath, then asked 'Big Lan'.
"Xiao Lan, is Ye Qiu okay?"
"He's fine~"
"That's good!" Dugu Yan had just let out a sigh of relief when her green eyes widened in a death stare.
"H-how could this be?!"
Xiao Lan bent down, leaning over.
She pinched Ye Qiu's chin and slowly pressed her lips to his.
Shyness showed in her eyes.
She remembered… the last time she did this, Brother flicked her forehead, and Sister Rongrong made fun of her.
A gentle aura flowed into Ye Qiu's body, calming the turmoil within his aura.
The green mark on her forehead flickered, resonating with the one in Ye Qiu's heart, and gradually, the flickering frequency became synchronized.
The sweet scent from her nose, the soft touch on her lips.
Light entered his eyes, and Ye Qiu slowly opened them, only to see an unfamiliar face in front of him, and a hint of fairness below her neck.
"Brother…"
Ye Qiu's pupils slightly dilated, then he slowly lay back down, and before closing his eyes, he seemed to see a graceful figure, ribbons fluttering, and a hint of anger flashing across her face.
"Ah~ Brother hasn't even seen Xiao Lan grown up yet? How can he just fall asleep like this?"
Her face showed a wronged expression.
Her originally full and magnificent figure seemed to dissipate like wind, turning into specks of light.
"Ah! So much extra flesh, it's exhausting Xiao Lan~"
A petite, soft girl in a blue-gold dress mumbled something and pounced onto Ye Qiu.
"Xiao, Xiao Lan shrunk?!"
Dugu Yan stared at her blankly, using her arm to cup her own chest.
Could this thing deflate?
The things she had witnessed today made her somewhat difficult to accept.
"Sister Yan Yan! Come and help Xiao Lan carry Brother into the room!"
"Oh, I'm, I'm coming…"
Dugu Yan's words were a little fumbled.
She walked forward, constantly glancing at Xiao Lan's chest.
Xiao Lan also curiously looked at her chest and gestured with her hands in front of her. "Sister Yan Yan, aren't you tired like this?"
