Chapter 600: Chapter 480 Return to Allegiance

The scenery changed before their eyes, and they had already arrived at Subspace 4 of the Qingming Realm.

Shen Die had entered the Qingming Realm before, and Xu Fan knew that Su Yuan possessed a Small World, so neither of them was overly surprised.

However, it was Luo Bingtong’s first time entering. She looked around with curiosity.

Su Yuan and the others focused intently on the last Aries. Yet, the opponent seemed unfazed, even showing a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. Like Luo Bingtong, he surveyed this world, as if he had no intention of fighting or fleeing.

“So, you’re not planning to run?” Xu Fan asked Ashley in a deep voice.

Before, it had been Xu Fan who continually restrained Ashley.

The other party did not attack proactively, but various strange means of control and defense emerged one after another, with extremely high intensity.

In reality, most of Aries’ skills were based on “luck” like the “dice” game and “rock, paper, scissors” from bizarre games.

These skills relied on luck, possessing great defects. They wouldn’t even rank as second or third-rate skills.

After all, in battle, if a skill suddenly could not be used or failed, it was a fatal issue.

For ordinary people, such skills were “scrap.”

But if one could truly hit the required probability by luck, the power of these skills could reach or even surpass the level of top-tier skills!

And Aries, possessing the Power of Soul with the ability of prediction, could, like exploiting a glitch, ensure he always achieved the desired result.

At this moment, Ashley shook her head. “I never intended to be your enemy.”

Xu Fan frowned slightly. “What do you mean? Since you, a Star Envoy, participated in this battle, you say you don’t want to be our enemy?”

Su Yuan did not rush to act, wanting to hear what Ashley had to say.

Since they were now within the Qingming Realm, their own domain, he wasn’t afraid the other party would suddenly escape.

Ashley looked at Xu Fan calmly. “If I hadn’t intervened to trap your Flying Scythe and Soul Devouring Rat, they would have already been gravely injured by Bailie.”

Xu Fan’s expression shifted. He then spoke in a somber tone. “If you hadn’t interfered, I might have saved Star Lord Li.”

“Star Lord Li?” Shen Die’s face changed. “What… happened to him?”

Su Yuan sighed softly and, after a brief contemplation, said, “Star Lord Li died battling Libra.”

Shen Die’s pupils contracted. Her face turned pale, and her already weary spirit grew even dimmer.

Su Yuan sighed softly again. Xu Fan, Chen Chunhua, and others were from the same generation of Star Lords.

While Li Ba, Shen Die, and Zhang Qianyi were from another.

It was clear these past few days that Shen Die and Li Ba had a closer relationship.

However, Shen Die was no ordinary person. After a moment, she managed to suppress her turbulent emotions.

“Couldn’t be saved.” Ashley said calmly, “I predicted this. Kaiyang Li Ba and Tianxuan Xiaxuan, ‘one dead, one seriously injured.’

I forced you to enhance your beasts to break free from their bindings, thus prompting Bailie to pull you into the Twisted Garden. This way, he couldn’t help Libra and Sagittarius.

Exchanging one death and one injury for two Star Envoys, this was already the best outcome for you.”

Slowly rotating star tracks appeared in Ashley’s eyes, as if the entire situation had unfolded just as she had anticipated, making Xu Fan’s back inexplicably chill!

Ashley continued, “In the ambush last time, you could only have killed Leo.

I distributed Aquarius, allowing you to eliminate an additional Star Envoy.”

Upon hearing this, even Su Yuan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes slightly.

During that ambush, their side dispatched three people for the kill, with two others intercepting.

Initially, they expected to kill one Star Envoy, but two had fallen into their trap.

Though the process was risky, the result was optimal.

Truly, if three Star Envoys had fallen into the trap, a “3V3” scenario, the outcome would have been uncertain!

So, Leo and Aquarius were just right.

Xu Fan asked somberly, “So, you really predicted all our actions?”

Ashley shook her head. “No. Matters unrelated to myself, I cannot predict that clearly.

Yet… I can predict ‘what is best for myself.'”

It wasn’t a complete prediction but “avoiding harm and pursuing benefit.”

Xu Fan showed a pondering look. Though he hadn’t fully trusted Ashley, thinking it over, since their engagement with the Star Envoys began, their actions had been smooth every time, seemingly divinely assisted.

Su Yuan asked, “Since you are a Star Envoy of the Twelve Palaces, in Qiguang, you have unlimited potential. Why do this?”

Ashley spoke coldly, “Star Envoys and subordinates are nothing but compulsory or semi-compulsory collected test subjects and tools…

Participating in Divine Blessing, who knows how many died, how many ended up with lifelong brain damage.

Even if a few succeeded, it exhausted their Soul Card potential.

After ‘Divine Blessing,’ almost no one can break through to Burning Sun on their own.

While we Star Envoys gained greater strength, it’s even difficult to break through to Radiant Moon without continual help from the Holy Temple.

Without any other shackles, to keep becoming stronger, Star Envoys are already unable to escape the Holy Temple’s bindings.

Because, once a person gains great power, they can hardly let it go.”

Su Yuan asked directly, “So, can you give it up?”
