Chapter 1279: Chapter 930: I Would Never Make an Exception for Someone Like Her (Third Update)

"Eh?" Diya noticed a problem: "If the Distant Realm is gone, then what about the Space Faction...?"

"That’s right, Holy Sanctuary Mage will probably become a historical term."

Yinzhi said, "Without the Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon Harmony Prohibition, the difficulty for mages cultivating in the Space Faction will increase exponentially. But it’s hard to say, after all, the Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon Harmony Prohibition has existed in the third layer of the Void Realm for a long, long time. It has deeply imprinted itself in this world, and the new third layer is very likely to have special structures that provide the Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon Harmony Prohibition."

Thump!

With a vibration, the white light of the Heavenly Curtain quickly faded, leaving only the red crystal wall. At the same time, the ground began to emit white light, as if the white light had transferred from the Heavenly Curtain to the ground.

Red sky, white earth, dreams in between.

"Welcome to the new era," Le Huai said softly.

"Is it over?" Ash was startled.

"It’s over." Yinzhi said, "The current situation is that Dream Heaven has become the ladder connecting the White Bull and Ruby Mountain... No, since Ruby Mountain doesn’t have a base, only a peak, so it connects the White Bull and the peak of Ruby Mountain."

"How about we call it the Dream Stairs?" Yinzhi consulted them.

Ash and Diya blinked and hesitantly nodded, "Sounds good."

"Le Huai, what do you think?"

"Better call it Skydream Stairs."

"Then it’s settled, Dream Stairs." Yinzhi concluded decisively: "On the Sea of Knowledge there swims a golden fish, on the golden fish lies the Time Continent, on the Time Continent walks a White Bull, on the White Bull is a Dream Stairs, the Dream Stairs connects to Ruby Mountain."

Although Ash and Diya were somewhat incredulous, they had a vague feeling that they might have just helped establish a new worldview for this world. Just like the Distant Realm became a memory for countless past generations of mages, the name Dream Stairs will also become a key point for countless future mages.

History turned a new page at this moment.

"So," Ash looked at the gradually fading Rainbow Light Column, "If I’m not mistaken, do we have one more inheritance banquet?"

"Not only the last one, but probably the most important one," Yinzhi raised her eyebrows. "Unlike the previous two layers of the Void Realm, the Source Angel has been operating in the Distant Realm for millions of years, having left behind a rich inheritance here."

"Is it okay for you to tell me this?"

"Because I’m a beautiful young girl who can’t keep secrets," Yinzhi shrugged, "Besides..."

She glanced at Ash and smiled: "Even though you can participate, only a true Demon can seize the most heritage."

Ash was somewhat puzzled. If both mages and demons could participate, why was Yinzhi so confident? The Source Angel could never favor demons, which meant that they, these demons, generally had an advantage that mages could not match—

Boom!

At that moment, two fighting figures came rushing at the edge of the Rainbow Light Column. Ash focused his eyes and his pupils shrank drastically!

"Master!"

Vishi, holding a spear and covered in wounds, saw Ash, her face lit up with joy, and she rushed over without hesitation, "Help me!"

"Yinzhi, Le Huai!"

The figure pursuing Vishi was none other than another Demon Long Yuan! At this moment, he was carrying two war axes like a God of War and yelled, "She is the Ghost Prophet! The last holder of Dream Heaven! Kill her quick, there’s no time!"

In a flash, Yinzhi and Le Huai understood the gravity of the situation and immediately took action against Vishi, forming a deadly posture with Long Yuan!

But someone was faster than them.

Hearing the sword whistle behind them, Yinzhi and Le Huai had no choice but to dodge and block. Just as they were about to strike back at Ash, Diya’s kick and punch instantly disrupted their formation!

Ash landed in front of Vishi, his twin swords slashing towards her neck like a scissor!

Clang! Clang!

With the flash of two Sword Flashes, Ash precisely countered Long Yuan’s war axe aimed at Vishi’s nape, twisting forcefully to open the war axe and protect Vishi behind him, "Sorry, I’m her guardian, anything can be discussed with me."

"Although you may not believe it, but I really didn’t start any trouble," Vishi smiled bitterly.

Diya leaned against Ash’s back and asked, "Master? Are you serious?"

"There are deep reasons involved; I’ll explain later." Ash cast "Joyful Sword" on Vishi, looked at Long Yuan and asked, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

"You should know who the Ghost Prophet is," Yinzhi said, "I don’t think you have any reason to stand on the same side as her."

"To avoid your misunderstanding," Le Huai said, "you can think of the Ghost Prophet as a greatly inferior version of Yinzhi."

"If you’re talking about beauty—"

Thump!

Long Yuan planted the two long-handled war axes heavily on the ground, looking coldly at Ash, "Considering you managed to block one of my moves—step aside."

Ash remained silent. He indeed had no reason to protect Vishi. Among everyone here, probably no one hated Vishi more than he did. He only couldn’t leave Vishi utterly dead because he had no method of thoroughly killing her, so he had no choice but to keep Vishi by his side.

Now that Vishi had offended three extremely fierce demons, it was already considerate of Ash not to cheer for the demons. Why would he protect Vishi against the demons? These demons were Ash’s lifeline. Offending them, he wouldn’t even find a road to become the Divine Lord’s servant.

Or rather, considering how offending them for Vishi now, would Ash dare to seek refuge with them later?

Ash glanced at the injured Vishi nearby. His maid lowered her head for self-healing, her disheveled bangs covering her expression. Her body did not tremble, and her hands gripped the spear tightly. To her, such pursuits seemed like trivial everyday life.

In fact, even if she were dead, wouldn’t there be a soul phylactery to resurrect her? Why would he, an ordinary player with one life, protect someone with a title and two lives?

Moreover, she had rushed over, yelling for help at first sight of him. Why didn’t she have the resolve to sacrifice herself for her master? Couldn’t she just quietly find a corner where he couldn’t see her to die quietly?

Ash sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly. He turned to Yinzhi: "The alliance is broken?"

"Don’t worry; I’ll take care of Igula and Harvey," Yinzhi said, "But are you serious?"

"Sorry," Ash gripped his swords and assumed a fighting stance, "even though I know I’ll surely regret it..."

"But I’ve never betrayed a companion," he said, "I won’t make an exception for someone like her."

"Master, that was a perfect opportunity to win over a girl’s heart. You shouldn’t talk like that," Vishi exhaled slowly, "How did you ever manage to win over your two main ladies?"

"Main ladies?" Diya’s eyes lit up.

Ash sneered, "You still have a girl’s heart?"

"Not anymore," Vishi squinted her eyes and said coldly, "But the demon’s Battle Intent has been thoroughly stirred."

With an explosion, the war of demons officially began!
