Thereâs one more thing, the Princess has already established a relationship with the other factions. Even though the Ancestor tampered with the talents and absorbed their Divine Soul Power, those factions didnât even notice!
In fact, it wasnât just about absorbing the Divine Soul Power; seeds were planted within those talents as well! Just like the tumor inside Ye Luo.
Of course, the Princess only learned about this later; otherwise, she wouldnât have been so devoted to working for the Ancestor before.
Under the pressure from these major factions, ultimately Divine Spirit Island split and became what it is today.
By now, the situation has been mostly explained.
That is to say, something went wrong with the Ancestor. Heâs no longer the Ancestor he used to be. The Princess couldnât clearly state what the specific issue was.
Furthermore, over the years, the Ancestor sowed countless seeds, and Ye Luo could imagine that once these seeds fully erupted, it would definitely be a disaster for the Sixth Region.
But, Ye Luo is no savior, nor is he a resident of the Sixth Region. Even if the entire region falls, whatâs that to him?
His current plan is to leave Divine Spirit Island as soon as possible.
After all, thereâs danger lurking here at any moment, as he senses that the Ancestorâs power is evidently more than this.
Suddenly, a question popped into his mind.
"Since the Ancestor is immensely powerful, why not eliminate those strong figures on Divine Spirit Island, absorb their Divine Soul, and unify the island? Wouldnât that be more satisfying and save a lot of hassle?"
By Ye Luoâs estimation, it wouldnât be difficult for the Ancestor to achieve this. He had fought with the Ancestor and understood some of his power!
Although there are many strong individuals in the back mountain, none can resist the Ancestor! Ye Luo is sure of this.
"The Ancestor certainly thought of this, too, but he fears a certain treasure!" responded the Princess.
"The Sea Spirit Pearl?" Ye Luo blurted out!
"Correct, it is indeed the Sea Spirit Pearl, which is controlled by an Elder, the current Island Master, so the Ancestor doesnât dare to act!"
Ye Luo raised an eyebrow. There must be a secret here; otherwise, it would be impossible for the Ancestor to coexist peacefully with the back mountain.
"Ye Luo, I will find a way to teleport you out, but you must not let the Island Master know about removing the tumor; otherwise, you wonât be able to leave!" the Princess said solemnly.
Ye Luo understood that, to the Island Master, they are like people infected with a plague, and their Divine Soul could erupt at any time.
Who would want to keep a ticking time bomb by their side?
But if they find out they can remove the tumor, that would be even more shocking!
After all, right now, the back mountain is in opposition to the Ancestor, fearing his evil technique of absorbing Soul Power, and those seeds!
Now that Ye Luo has a method to unravel those seeds, how could they let him leave!
The problem is, Ye Luo couldnât unravel it at all; it was only through the little girlâs immense sacrifice that it was achieved.
"Come with me!" Ye Luo suddenly said.
The Princess looked at Ye Luo in surprise and then shook her head with a bitter smile, "I bear the burden of guilt; I orchestrated all of this. Perhaps, for me, death is the best destination and a way of relief!"
Hearing this, Ye Luo suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
"Since you have given me your body, you are my woman, and I wonât stand idly by as you fall!"
Hearing this, the Princessâs expression softened for the first time.
"Ye Luo, the fortunate thing is that I met you at the end of my life!"
Ye Luo suddenly grinned mischievously, "Thereâs no need for words; letâs do something meaningful!"
With that, he forcefully picked up the Princess.
"You scoundrel!"
As time passed, the conflict between the front peak and the back mountain became increasingly apparent.
And the front peak completely severed all contact with the outside world.
"Bang!" The Ancestorâs Divine Soul Power lifted a chair and shattered it to pieces.
"Damn it, he really unraveled the seed, and that girl actually thinks she can escape my grasp by running away?" the Ancestor roared in anger.
"Donât worry about it now, absorb the Divine Soul Power of these cultivators and restore our strength. After we merge, the first thing weâll do is deal with that back mountain. Do you think that boy and that girl can escape us?" said a sinister voice.
"Indeed, thatâs exactly right!"
In the next moment, his Divine Soul Power spread out, transforming the surroundings into a Purgatory scene.
In the back mountain, the Elders and the Island Master gathered in the discussion hall.
"We have discovered that the monster is absorbing the Divine Soul Power of those cultivators. Clearly, they intend to take the final step!" said one Elder gravely.
"Indeed, our previous suspicions were entirely correct. Once they complete their fusion, we will be the first target!" another Elder agreed.
"So what, as long as the Island Master holds the Sea Spirit Pearl, they wouldnât dare to act against us!"
Upon hearing this, the Island Master shook his head. "Do you really think they fear the Sea Spirit Pearl? Itâs true that the Sea Spirit Pearl can restrain them, but only when itâs fully activated. Iâve refined it for so long, yet I have only gained control over less than one-tenth of its power. How could I possibly withstand them? They havenât acted yet because they were not merged and lacked sufficient strength!"
Hearing the Island Masterâs words, everyone became alarmed.
"Island Master, what should we do? The back mountain is the true foundation of Divine Spirit Island. Are we going to let tens of thousands of people fall to that monster?" an Elder roared.
"Of course not! The monster is strong, but we still have the strength to fight, and we must also secretly relocate those with insufficient cultivation. Once the battle starts, we wonât be able to care for too many!" said the Island Master.
He then laid out several plans.
Relocating tens of thousands is no small feat, but itâs not impossible. The Island Masterâs suggestions were indeed well-considered.
Immediately, the Elders passed the resolution and sent people to execute it.
"Island Master, what about the Princess?" an Elder tentatively asked.
For the back mountain, this was a taboo topic because of the Princessâs unique status.
Firstly, she is indeed the great-granddaughter of the previous Island Master! And the former Island Master had greatly favored everyone present! So naturally, they had to protect his descendants.
Moreover, although the monster created todayâs disaster, the Princess also played a part, as she helped the monster through its initial weakened period.
So, there were always differing opinions about the Princess in the back mountain.
Of course, these high-level personnel were mostly subordinates of the previous Island Master and couldnât hate the Princess, but the rest of the people on Divine Spirit Island didnât think the same way.
