"I volunteer to be sacrificed!!!"
The Evil Emperor, bruised and swollen—its giant eye nearly smashed, dozens of five-hundred-meter tentacles broken, charred, or frozen to shards—was a wreck.
This was the core region of the Demonic Forest. Ten-thousand-year beasts were everywhere; there were even several hundred-thousand-year ones. But under the Silver Dragon King's pressure, they only shivered.
Below the God Realm, half-god is invincible.
Su Wen had witnessed it firsthand.
"…"
Seeing the Silver Dragon King pause, the Evil Emperor asked weakly, "I'm willing to join your Poké Ball, but can I have the dragon core—okay okay stop hitting me, I don't want the core, I'll sacrifice, sacrifice!!!"
Mid-sentence, noticing Su Wen's raised brow and the Silver Dragon King's dangerous aura, it hurriedly changed its tune.
"Mm-hmm."
Su Wen smiled, tossed the red Poké Ball again. A pillar of light shot up, and seconds later, the Evil Emperor's massive body vanished.
Then Su Wen froze, shaken by the incoming information.
The Silver Dragon King retracted her true body, turned into a silver-haired girl, walked up to the dazed Su Wen, and—finding it amusing—poked his cheek.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for?"
"I think I just picked up a treasure."
Su Wen stiffly turned, and seeing the playful, cute girl so close, he pulled her into his arms.
Gu Yuena: "…"
She was caught off guard, face shifting from confusion to adapting, then flushing shyly. She let him hold her, arms half-heartedly circling his waist.
Good news?
"Time-space power, time-space power!" Su Wen's eyes shone.
"Totally overtuned…"
At this point, he could only sigh.
Contrary to expectations, the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator hadn't evolved toward Ultimate mental attributes, but poured everything into time-space. As is known, at level 60 it auto-evolves to the third stage…
So, Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator → Abyssal Eye → Key of the Void.
Key of the Void.
Su Wen faintly felt this touched the Authority of Time-Space.
Sure enough, anything touching time and space has a terrifying cap.
[Key of the Void]
[…]
Skills: (Heaven-tier Blue) Time-Space Reset; (Heaven-tier Blue) Time-Space Stasis; (Heaven-tier Blue) Time-Space Rewind
Attribute: Time-Space (Ultimate)
Potential: 9
Next evolution: All-Knowing Eye
Only three skills, but all absurdly broken.
Time-Space Rewind: After activation, rewind to one minute earlier; cooldown one day.
Time-Space Stasis: Freely control time flow rate. Soul power consumed scales with intensity.
Su Wen hadn't tested it yet, but the cost was likely massive—unplayable for now.
And the last…
"Big Eye, get out here and explain: what does Time-Space Reset mean?!"
In his spiritual sea—
From inside the Poké Ball, the Evil Emperor exclaimed, "You can reset time—traverse the river of time to any timeline you want… Damn, I'm that OP?!!"
It even forgot to be mad at being called Big Eye, stunned by its own overtuned kit.
Compared to time-space, mental power is nothing!
Even giving it all up for a sliver of time-space authority would be worth it—let alone it hadn't actually lost its mental might…
The Evil Emperor was truly dumbfounded.
It had thought Su Wen and the Silver Dragon King were bluffing—evolution just a trap to trick it into sacrifice. But beaten half-dead, it'd had to pinch its nose and accept.
Who knew, after evolving…
It was truly world-shaking!
"Time-space power, huh…"
The Silver Dragon King looked on with envy.
A pity that when her true self split, she gave that to the Golden Dragon King.
She cast Su Wen a plaintive look.
When would his Poké Ball evolve enough to house her too? Even a mini Dragon God would let her have a proper joyride.
Su Wen missed the look.
He was busy arguing with the Evil Emperor over names.
"Big Eye rolls off the tongue. What's wrong with it?"
"Call me the Void Eye!!!" the Evil Emperor protested.
"Big Eye Big Eye Big Eye!"
"Arghhhhh!" the Evil Emperor broke down.
"Roar~!"
Little Gold popped out and rumbled.
Come on, bro—what's wrong with Big Eye? I'm called Little Gold and I don't complain.
Evil Emperor: "…"
Seeing Su Wen's smiling face, it had no choice but to accept.
"Shall we go?"
Gu Yuena suddenly looked to the horizon, brows knitting, then glanced at Su Wen questioningly.
"Looks like the battle aura drew those guys," Su Wen grinned.
The Holy Spirit Cult had almost mobilized en masse.
Two Limit Douluo among them.
"Big Eye, what about your turf?" Su Wen mused, glancing at the huge eye's domain.
"Abandon it?"
"No need. I'll leave a message: I met an enemy, was injured, and am going into seclusion. Even if they covet my territory, they won't seize it rashly… at least not for a hundred years," Big Eye rolled its lone eye. Its spiritual web spread rapidly through the surroundings.
After instructing a particularly powerful Evil Eye Tyrant in the core—about 300,000 years old—the two returned fully loaded.
Of course,
Su Wen didn't forget the rare metals here. With the Evil Emperor under him, the Demonic Forest naturally belonged to Su Wen.
As the largest forest in the Sun Moon Empire, it's vast and resource-rich, with abundant metal ores. The Empire hadn't dared move in these years only because the Evil Emperor occupied it.
…
"What happened here?"
Scorpion Douluo Zhang Peng stared at the rising mushroom cloud and the five-colored sky. The aura was terrifying—at this level, anyone short of a Limit Douluo would be wiped out by the spillover alone.
"A true dragon?" Long Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes at the distant scene.
"Mm."
Beside him, the black-robed Ye Xishui nodded slightly.
Her expression was grave.
"Only such an existence would dare rush into the Demonic Forest aiming for the Evil Emperor."
"Do we help?" Long Xiaoyao frowned. "If the forest changes hands, we might be driven out…"
"The battle's over."
Ye Xishui said quietly.
"Seems like mutual injury. Let's go test the waters first."
