Chapter 816: Chapter 450: Stirring Up Trouble

So, drinking barley juice can lead to spur-of-the-moment decisions, Li Ye thought, truly fascinating.

All these "friends" of mine just enjoy watching the drama, or even creating it without a care.

So how did I end up half-heartedly venturing into the cosmos outside one of the Gnostic School’s more important worlds?

He didn’t understand.

But it didn’t matter.

The people gathered here, after exchanging information, realized that the destruction in their worlds seemed to bear the mark of the Gnostic School.

At least they were all better than most, with no one above them, having suffered great hardships, often with no one to share their sorrow.

Now, they suddenly found so many "like-minded" individuals, even sharing the same enemy.

Weren’t they just brimming with excitement?

"So, who wants to make the first move?"

The few of them gathered, eager to give it a try.

"I’ll do it."

While they hesitated, Li Ye stood forward.

If he chose not to get drunk, not even Tribulation Qi could disturb his mental stability.

But at that moment, he wished for intoxication.

Only when drunk could he pull off grand deeds.

I’m intoxicated.

So I’ll act recklessly.

"Alright."

"Brother Li, what do you plan to do?"

"We’ll stand by and protect you."

If they were to fight amongst themselves, they would need a victor, but if Li Ye wanted to take the lead, there was no issue.

Moreover, they wanted to see how Li Ye would act.

"Why are you watching me like that?"

Li Ye rummaged through his personal realm.

He retrieved the Starlight Lotus he had just put away, plucking the petals one by one, and tossing them into the world.

The petals fell into the world.

They silently merged into the essence of the world.

Without startling anyone.

"What is that?" Gnostic Li Ye asked aloud.

"Oh, it’s... a Gnostic Tribulation Lotus." Li Ye blinked: "Aren’t you all seeking inspiration? Here lies a trace of power from the Sun and Moon Ring that I’ve provided specifically for you.

It can definitely maximize your thoughts.

Ultimately.

Burn to ashes."

His words were calm and ordinary as ever, without any fluctuation or boasting.

But they left a chilling feeling.

Of course, almost no one present was human.

They all gazed at Li Ye with bright, sparkling eyes, feeling a strange surge—though usually as warm as the sun and moon, Li Ye appeared even more compelling now.

A captivating sight.

"..."

You abnormal bunch!

Gnostic Li Ye could already imagine the chaos the lotus would cause.

In the Gnostic School, inspiration and computational power was everything.

Infinite calculation.

Click.

He didn’t ask further, but eagerly watched the world below.

Perhaps.

He, too, held some Resentment Qi.

...

At that very moment, the world of the Gnostic School had already fallen into chaos.

It hadn’t even been the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

The moment the infinite calculation was discovered, all cultivators immediately activated their minds, forcibly calculating all sorts of matters.

The vast sea of diverse data and knowledge flowed through their minds.

The outcome, indeed—

"I did it! I calculated it! I!"

"Boom!"

The head of a frantically excited cultivator suddenly exploded.

Red and white splattered everywhere.

But his body continued running with excitement, and without the head’s constraint, moved with extreme freedom, casting various Spiritual Lights from his hand continuously.

His mana surged forth like vibrant fireworks, engulfing everything around him.

Nobody knew why his mana suddenly strengthened so tremendously.

But it did.

Strong enough to kill those who couldn’t react in time.

This was hardly of significance.

A violent suppression was the least feared by the Gnostic School.

Immediately, armored cultivators appeared to control the headless body.

Moreover, at this moment.

From within the shattered skull, starry humanoid figures with elegant lines began to emerge, with perfect figures that defied gender or Yin Yang, and they glittered with starlight—a breathtaking existence.

Yet when they emerged.

They started embracing the guarding cultivators.

With three pairs of arms, they gently enclosed them, imprinting a kiss upon their terrified gaze.

The scene was quite magnificent.

These exquisite, mysterious starlit figures seemed as if they were bestowing blessings upon them.

Yet, in moments.

Those cultivators embraced and kissed by them were dead.

Their bodies melted in the starlight like candles, slowly returning to the figures.

They seemed distraught.

Seeking the ones they had blessed.

But they couldn’t find them, no matter what.

The desire for knowledge and search dominated their beings.

They began to disrupt this territory.

No.

Not disrupt, but purify here.

The endless research, myths stored in books, scrolls, even stone slabs from countless cultivators.

All rapidly vanished, melted away under the power of starlight.

Also transformed into countless translucent Starlight Rings surrounding the figures, allowing them to proceed deeper.

Whenever cultivators approached.

They would warily draw weapons.
