World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1794 - 63: Yeluo’s New Identity (2)

However, this ability that even made her look up in awe was achieved effortlessly with just a fleeting thought. So, to what extent is the power of Ji Xing, who granted her all of this? Ye Luo could no longer imagine.

"Is this... the power of the Dominator..."

The Master of the Holy Angel Clan murmured to herself. It was only after a long while that she came to her senses and hastily bowed to Zhang Xiaoman:

"Great Lord Dominator, thank you for the power you bestowed! I will definitely not let you down in the future and will fulfill the duties of the soul guide!"

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, a satisfied expression on his face, but inside he sighed helplessly.

It’s not that he wanted to keep Ye Luo in the Original Realm. He knew the side effects of staying here for a prolonged period. In the future, it would become very difficult for Ye Luo to travel to the First Universe or the Second Universe.

How could Zhang Xiaoman not feel the pain of losing such a powerful Extraordinary Level operative?

But there’s no helping it. Although both parties signed a contract, his current power is far inferior to hers. Keeping her by his side always carries the risk of exposure. Should she realize that he is merely an empty shell, Zhang Xiaoman has no guarantee that the contract could entirely bind her.

It’s not that Zhang Xiaoman is naturally suspicious or unwilling to trust others, but caution is necessary. Even if there is only a slim chance, he would not take that risk.

After all, everything within the Star Alliance is on track now, and the Original Realm has become the organization’s strongest backing. Even if the Great Fusion arrives imminently and presents a situation he cannot handle, at worst, Zhang Xiaoman can lead everyone into the Original Realm. Life inside the Original Realm, while greatly limiting the development of the Dark Spirit, would not be much different from the outside world for ordinary people.

Given this, why would Zhang Xiaoman take such a risk?

Moreover, as the Original Realm continues to expand, an internally sustainable soul system has been added. The development of the entire Original Realm is flourishing, and the Boundary Value of the Original Realm is continuously increasing. By then, Ye Luo and Naphaya would be able to travel more freely between the two worlds.

Looking at the floating Divine Country before him, Zhang Xiaoman was filled with expectations for the future. The harvest from this visit to the Plague Relics was indeed substantial. The large number of Soul Summoning Stones pleasantly surprised him. Without these stones, even if he could grant Ye Luo control over soul authority, she would not be able to easily create a Divine Country, thereby putting the soul cycle system in the Original Realm on the right track.

A single Divine Country is certainly not enough. As the Original Realm expands and develops, more life will appear in this world, which also means there will be more souls. Zhang Xiaoman thinks that by then, he might need to recruit more soul guides to help alleviate the pressure on Ye Luo.

Of course, remembering the source of the water is important, and Zhang Xiaoman hasn’t forgotten one thing: the Plague God Calamity, who contributed so many Hidden Soul Stones.

Outside, even though the Calamity had its power drained for a thousand years by the Holy Judgment Sword, Zhang Xiaoman still wasn’t confident enough to deal with him.

But within the Original Realm, it’s a completely different story. This is his home turf, and here, no one is his match. It’s no exaggeration to say that even if the Lord of Demon Realm personally came, Zhang Xiaoman would have the confidence to overpower him.

With a thought, in front of the two, a gigantic figure was teleported into the void, none other than the weakened Calamity.

Along with the appearance of Calamity was Naphaya, in human form with six pairs of wings on his back.

"Holy, Holy Master... it really is you! Weren’t you already... could it be..."

As soon as Naphaya appeared, he eagerly looked at the petite figure beside Zhang Xiaoman, but realizing the impropriety of his actions halfway, he quickly bowed to the former.

Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand, indicating he need not be so formal.

Ye Luo’s eyes shone as, after millennia of the path of Rebirth, where the Holy Angel Clan was almost extinct, seeing a living kin filled her with excitement.

"Yes, it was Lord Ji Xing who saved me from the path of Rebirth! Without Him, I’d probably still be sleeping inside the Calamity’s temple!"

Ye Luo briefly recounted the events to Naphaya, including what Zhang Xiaoman had just done. When speaking excitedly, she couldn’t help but knock on Calamity’s skull with the Holy Judgment Sword, utterly unlike the demeanor of an esteemed Holy Master.

Listening to the story, Naphaya felt both fortunate and once again shocked by Zhang Xiaoman’s methods. However, having been with the latter for so long, he was somewhat accustomed to it and didn’t react as exaggeratedly as Ye Luo.

In fact, as the Gatekeeper of the Original Realm, Naphaya sensed the other party’s presence the moment Ye Luo arrived. However, since Zhang Xiaoman had teleported Calamity in need of supervision, Naphaya had to suppress his curiosity and remain in place until Zhang Xiaoman summoned Calamity over.

Thus, the last two survivors of the Holy Angel Clan were finally reunited. The two expressed immense gratitude for Zhang Xiaoman’s original efforts. If there were Loyalty Points attributes, they would surely be at maximum capacity now.

"Your matters have been resolved. Next, we deal with this guy."

Zhang Xiaoman spoke, focusing his gaze on the Plague God Calamity restrained in the void. The latter remained in skeletal form, and his powerful Recovery Ability was entirely ineffective within the Original Realm Space; as long as Zhang Xiaoman did not permit it, his injuries would never heal.

Even though Calamity had mastered the "Immortal" Sequence and could not be killed, as long as he remained inside the Original Realm, Zhang Xiaoman had countless ways to finish him off. Even within the Divine Domain, under the influence of the Supreme Law of the Ultimate World, it would have no effect at all.

"Your clan has battled the Plague Demon Clan for so long; you could be considered arch-enemies. I leave him to you to deal with."

Zhang Xiaoman handed over Calamity’s fate to them, serving as a small gesture of goodwill.

To him, the demons that fell into the Original Realm were like meat on a chopping board—whether to kill or spare them made no difference. Killing them would allow their Essence to replenish the Original Realm and raise its Boundary Value.

Keeping them around, Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t afraid they would cause trouble. After all, this was the Original Realm; with one thought, he could easily restrict their movements.

At that moment, Calamity still maintained his skeletal form, but Zhang Xiaoman could clearly sense the other’s fear through his soul waves. The feeling of having one’s fate Controlled by others was indeed unnerving, especially when the decision lay in the hands of two Holy Angels.

Naphaya’s gaze towards Calamity was filled with hatred. To him, his race had battled the Plague Demon Clan for so long, sacrificing countless lives. Now, having the chance to take down their leader was an opportunity he eagerly desired.

However, he did not speak immediately, as the Holy Master of the Holy Angel Clan was present. Such decisions were better left to her.

Unexpectedly, contrary to Zhang Xiaoman and Naphaya’s expectations, Ye Luo, after contemplating for a while, chose not to execute Calamity but intended to give him a chance for survival.

"Oh? Don’t you want to kill him? As far as I know, the Plague Demon Clan has killed many of your clansmen before."

Zhang Xiaoman exhibited an intrigued expression, curious as to why Ye Luo made such a choice.
