CHAPTER 644: CHAPTER 644: IS MU QINGXUE THE TIME EMPRESS? (SEEKING FOLLOWERS)

Xiao Ye shook his head, showing no interest in the position of Domain Lord.

*If he became Domain Lord, he’d have to handle all the affairs of the Beast Hunting Star Domain, just bringing himself a heap of trouble.*

*Better to keep a dog than take the job himself — let Shangguan Hong become Domain Lord, and he could still enjoy power and perks not a bit below the Domain Lord’s.*

With a bang, Shangguan Hong dropped to both knees and solemnly said,

"Master, Shangguan Hong will definitely not let you down. I will manage the Beast Hunting Star Domain well."

"From now on, I, Shangguan Hong, am the Domain Lord and also your loyal servant. If you point east, I will never go west. If you say to extinguish the Ziwei Emperor Star’s constant star, I absolutely won’t let it shine."

Xiao Ye nodded, waving his hand as he said, "Go on, take the seat of Domain Lord. We’re heading back to the Milky Way Galaxy."

Shangguan Hong was surprised, "Master, are you not going to spend a few days having fun on Ziwei Emperor Star?"

"No, the Milky Way Galaxy is in turbulent times now. We can’t be away for too long," Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed keenly.

*He hadn’t forgotten what the Fate Divine Spirit had said.*

*After the Beast Hunting Star Domain business, the welfare ward’s old man, the condensed will of the universe itself, would open the Desolate Realm, unleashing its aura, and Desolate Realm creatures would run wild on Blue Star.*

*It would also draw the attention and invasion of Starfield Races.*

*Blue Star was his homeland. He couldn’t just stand by and watch Blue Star become a wasteland, or let the Starfield Races make it their plaything.*

Shangguan Hong understood and did not try to keep him.

Xiao Ye glanced at the group of Beast Girls, then lifted his hand. With a flash, the spatial rule divine skill, [Spatial Teleportation: Ultra-long-distance Spatial Teleportation], was activated.

Rule Power flowed gently, white light flashed, and only Shangguan Hong was left on site.

Gazing up with reverence, Shangguan Hong intoned, "Respectfully sending Master home!"

He knelt for a long time. Once he rose again, an intense aura of authority burst out from him, spreading across the whole Ziwei Emperor Star.

At this moment, he was the Domain Lord, the supreme Sovereign of the Beast Hunting Star Domain!

In half a day’s time, he successfully rose to power, was backed and supported by most generals, and rightly became Domain Lord—the Lord of the Star Domain.

A notice was issued by Shangguan Hong.

[The Milky Way Galaxy is Ziwei Emperor Star’s most honored ally. From now on, anyone who encounters a being from the Milky Way Galaxy should treat them with the utmost respect.]

...

On the other side,

The Beast Girls had already returned to Blue Star.

Xiao Ye, the Ancestral Empress, and Mu Qingxue stood upon the Starry Sky Great Wall at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Walking down the magnificent, narrow corridor of the Starry Sky Great Wall, the three headed toward the main city.

The proud heiress Mu Qingxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with awe. This Great Wall stretched as far as the eye could see, surrounded by a dazzling starfield.

At the far end of their view, two towering statues pierced the clouds. Countless fierce beasts and humans from the Milky Way Galaxy would come here to kneel before them in worship, offering their most sincere faith.

Those two statues had been meticulously carved in the likenesses of Xiao Ye and the Ancestral Empress.

Xiao Ye’s statue held a towering palace aloft in one hand, the other behind his back. His eyes gazed into the cosmos, deep and profound.

The Ancestral Empress’s statue was all majesty, her figure elegant and graceful.

*Mu Qingxue couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.*

*Why wasn’t the statue next to Xiao Ye hers, Mu Qingxue’s, but the Ancestral Empress’s?*

The Ancestral Empress, looking relaxed, chuckled and said,

"Human Emperor, this Starry Sky Great Wall is a giant array. We can refine it into an offensive-defensive all-in-one barrier array covering the entire Milky Way Galaxy. If outsiders invade in the future, we’ll have a means of defense."

Xiao Ye thought for a moment and decided she had a point.

"Then let’s work together, using materials and restrictions to forge an offensive-defensive barrier array shrouding the Milky Way Galaxy."

"A Sovereign Realm array!"

Mu Qingxue hurriedly chimed in, "Xiao Ye, I’ll help too, don’t forget—I’m a Sovereign Realm Tier Ten with the Time Attribute!"

Xiao Ye smiled faintly, "Together."

At this point, he alone possessed more than a dozen Attributes.

Time, Space, Five Elements, Thunder, Ice, Destiny, Life, Destruction, Reincarnation, Phantom Spirit, Supreme, Devouring, Creation, and so on.

The Sovereign Realm rule divine skills of the Time Attribute already allowed time reversal, time reset, time freeze, time fast forward. On an individual level, he could reverse a body’s time by six hundred thousand years, speed up time ten thousand times, and even in large areas, he could reverse time for more than a hundred years.

The rule divine skill of Space could instantly wipe out an entire Star System or create a pocket space of his own.

The rule divine skill of the Life Attribute could strip any being of their lifespan, or even bring people back from the dead.

The rule divine skill of the Reincarnation Attribute could instantly force even a Sovereign Realm powerful being to reincarnate as a beast in a blink.

The rule divine skill of the Destiny Attribute could control any being’s fate.

The Phantom Spirit Attribute could let his body and soul transcend the universe, turn himself into nothingness—the ultimate version of the invisibility innate skill. He could even instantly turn a whole Star Domain into a real Illusion Realm, dragging living beings into the illusion.

The Devouring Attribute was downright terrifying—transforming into a black hole, able to swallow anything—a true perpetual motion machine.

Now, he was already able to become an eternal existence—undying and indestructible.

Of course, that was only when he didn’t run into enemies above the Sovereign Realm, otherwise it would be another matter entirely.

The three continued through the corridor of the Starry Sky Great Wall, heading toward an approaching squad led by General Canglong, who was patrolling the wall.

When he saw Xiao Ye and the others, General Canglong’s pupils contracted, awe and respect filling his face. Dropping to one knee, he respectfully said,

"Greetings, Human Emperor, greetings, Empress!"

"This subordinate failed to greet you at once—I am guilty and should kill myself!"

*His face brimmed with guilt and self-reproach.*

With his fin morphing into a blade of light, he thrust it directly into his own heart.

With a squelch, he spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

*Feeling his life slipping away, he looked relaxed—as if he’d atoned for his crime.*

*As Human Emperor and Empress, they were the highest faith in the Milky Way. Neglecting to greet the leaders meant guilt.*

The Ancestral Empress’s mouth twitched. She pointed a finger, sealing his wounds, and said speechlessly,

"What crime do you have? Don’t make trouble out of nothing!"

Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue looked at each other, faces odd. "Empress, is this a rule you made? If they miss your arrival, they have to hurt themselves."

The Ancestral Empress blushed bright red and spat, "Don’t misunderstand me! I never had the time or boredom to make such a rule."

"Probably something these generals made up themselves."

Xiao Ye’s expression shifted, his eyes shooting out beams of light that enveloped General Canglong, whose strength only reached Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection.

Time on General Canglong’s body began to reverse, rewinding back to before he was injured.

General Canglong was shocked and knelt, saying, "Th-this is the power of Time! Lord Human Emperor, you actually control time!"

"Thank you, Human Emperor, for your life-saving grace. This subordinate has nothing with which to repay you."

He knelt again in gratitude.

Xiao Ye raised his hand, lifting him with a gentle force, and said in a tone that brooked no refusal,

"Come to the main city with us!"

"What’s with all these sick rules? Seriously, unbelievable!"

General Canglong trembled, "Yes!"

*Time?*

The Ancestral Empress’s spirit soared.

*She glanced at Mu Qingxue a few times in secret. This Beast Girl looked almost exactly like her older sister, the Time Empress—like they were made from the same mold. Even their temperaments were similar, both a bit proud and haughty.*

*If she hadn’t spent so much time around both of them and noticed their small daily differences, she’d have thought Mu Qingxue was her sister, the Time Empress!*
