Chapter 1055: Giving Her Time
The lady was none other than Ruler Qi!
Ruler Qi clenched her hands as a terrifying aura surged out from her. A golden imprint appeared between her brows, attempting to suppress her. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes as she growled, "Break!"
Boom!
The golden imprint was forcibly expelled from her forehead, but blood trickled down the corner of her mouth. Instead of attacking, she grabbed Ye Guan's shoulder, and they both vanished on the spot.
The Multiverse Emperor chuckled lightly and waved his hand again.
In the vast starry sky, Ruler Qi sensed something and turned around. She stretched out her right hand and swung it downward.
Boom!
A massive section of the spacetime boiled before collapsing into a pitch-black void. At the same time, Ruler Qi and Ye Guan were sent flying backward.
The Multiverse Emperor glanced at the depths of the starry sky and smiled. He didn't chase after them.
A middle-aged man dressed in a divine robe appeared beside him, asking, "Multiverse Emperor, why not just kill her directly?"
The Multiverse Emperor explained, "I'm just giving her time to regret her decision. There's something satisfying about that."
The middle-aged man remained silent.
The Multiverse Emperor added, "Have your Timeless Clan make the necessary preparations."
The middle-aged man was none other than Yongheng Wu, the Clan Leader of the Timeless Clan.
Yongheng Wu asked in a deep voice, "And what about Yama Dharmaraja?"
"To submit is not humiliation; it's a blessing they could never attain even in a hundred lifetimes. Of course, if they cannot understand that, then it's simple. We will destroy them," the Multiverse Emperor replied. Then, he turned and led Yongheng Wu outside.
A sword was floating above the stone monument.
It was the Path Sword.
The Multiverse Emperor glanced at it and said, "This sword belongs to that young man's backer. This is quite interesting; it even sent me a warning."
Yongheng Wu's eyes narrowed, and a surge of killing intent rose within him. He extended his right hand, intending to use the sword to strike down its owner from afar.
However, the Multiverse Emperor stopped him, making him feel quite puzzled.
The Multiverse Emperor glanced at the Path Sword and said, "The owner of this sword is quite interesting. Whoever it is also exists beyond the Dao. I'm curious to see how many levels of Dao they have broken through. I will meet them personally when the time comes, I'm sure."
Yongheng Wu hesitated for a moment. Although he wanted to act, he did not dare to defy the Multiverse Emperor. He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and looked at the Path Sword coldly, saying, "Then I'll spare her life for now."
The Multiverse Emperor said, "Let's go."
With that, they disappeared.

Ye Guan and Ruler Qi finally came to a halt. As soon as they halted, blood spilled from Ruler Qi's mouth. With a grave expression, she remarked, "He's so strong."
Ye Guan quickly asked, "Are you alright?"
Ruler Qi shook her head as she wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth. She glanced behind her and said, "There are going to be great changes to the Multiverse soon. Let's go."
With that, she took Ye Guan and disappeared into thin air.
***
Ruler Qi brought Ye Guan back to the Devourer Civilization. She sat cross-legged in the starry skies above the civilization as an endless flow of starlight and Devourer Energy converged on her from all directions.
Ye Guan sat across from her.
After a long while, Ruler Qi opened her eyes. Starlight flickered in her gaze; her injuries had mostly healed by now.
She looked at Ye Guan and asked, "What do you think about his proposal?"
Ye Guan nodded, and they turned around to leave.
Supreme Xian called out, "Wait."
Ruler Qi and Ye Guan stopped in their tracks and turned back to look at her.
Supreme Xian's gaze fell on Ye Guan. "Three special bloodlines... How interesting."
Ye Guan asked, "What do you want?"
Supreme Xian stood up and walked up to him.
"Why can't I see anything about your fate?"
Just as Ye Guan was about to speak, Supreme Xian added, "Submitting to the Multiverse Emperor will be your chance to change your fate."
Ye Guan, however, shook his head. "I only submit to my father."
Supreme Xian sneered with disdain, "Your father? How dare you compare him to the Multiverse Emperor? You—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Guan swung his sword abruptly.
Caught completely off guard, Supreme Xian was sent flying dozens of meters away by Ye Guan's strike, and the treehouse was instantly reduced to ashes.
Ye Guan looked at Supreme Xian in the distance and said coolly, "You can insult me, but never insult my father."
Supreme Xian shook her head and chuckled. She glanced at Ruler Qi and asked, "Are you sure you want to make the same choice as him and refuse to submit to the Multiverse Emperor?"
Ruler Qi smiled and said, "I just believe that one should live with dignity."
Supreme Xian looked at the two of them, her eyes full of pity. "You have no idea what you're losing out on."
Not wanting to waste any more words, Ye Guan turned to Ruler Qi and said, "Let's go."
Ruler Qi shook her head at Supreme Xian before they both left.
Left all alone, Supreme Xian's gaze turned cold.

The top experts of the Gui Zhe Civilization were all gathered in a grand hall.
Yama Dharmaraja stood at the helm of the group.
The expressions of all these experts were extremely grave, as in the center of the hall stood a middle-aged man—the Multiverse Emperor.
They knew little about the Multiverse Emperor, as he had disappeared for an incredibly long time. He was basically a legendary figure to them.
Yama Dharmaraja's face was solemn. He was taken aback by the Multiverse Emperor's sudden return.
The Multiverse Emperor stared at Yama Dharmaraja and said, "Submit or die."
He was very direct.
Yama Dharmaraja frowned deeply while the experts of the Gui Zhe Civilization were furious.
The Multiverse Emperor ignored them and said, "I'll give you one day to consider."
With that, he turned around and left. He didn't stay to try and convince them, as he believed that the opportunity for these people to submit to him was a blessing they could never earn in a hundred lifetimes.
When he stepped outside, an invisible pressure engulfed enveloped the entire hall. The powerful experts within the hall, except for Yama Dharmaraja, were forced to their knees.
The Multiverse Emperor had suppressed all of them in one fell swoop, eliciting stupefaction from the experts of the Gui Zhe Civilization.
Yama Dharmaraja stared intently at the Multiverse Emperor, who was leaving the hall. He hadn't expected such a level of strength from the legendary Multiverse Emperor.
An old man trembled as he said, "Venerable Yama, we..."
Yama Dharmaraja closed his eyes and said, "I need to consult Young Master Ye. If he surrenders, I will surrender as well. If he does not, then I will not. I will only submit to Young Master Ye."
