If it were an ordinary person, upon discovering that they were merely a duplicate, they would definitely feel lost and confused, or perhaps angry and deranged.

But Ye Qingzhou was no ordinary person. His heart had long been as steadfast as a rock. No matter which way the wind blew—east, west, south, or north—on him, it was nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing a hill.

"I am me, and nothing more."

Ye Qingzhou calmly accepted the fact that he was merely a duplicate of the Emperor Slayer, yet his mind remained unshaken by this revelation: "A person cannot choose their past, but they can choose their future. My existence is already a given fact. Next, it just depends on the myriad paths of the heavens and who will rise or fall."

Gripping the sword in his hand tightly, Ye Qingzhou's fighting spirit was as fierce as fire.

"Indeed, you and the Emperor Slayer are fundamentally the same. Even walking on different paths, you are still so similar, unwavering in your pursuit of the Great Path."

The Insect Mother sighed: "We never intended to control you, and we are even willing to give our all to help you because you are the only hope."

"Now, accept my gift…"

Rumble~~

The relic left by the Insect Mother began to quake,

The people undergoing trials in various divine halls were shocked: "What's happening?"

"Could the relic be about to collapse?"

"That's impossible. The space-time here is retained by the power of the Dao, with such solidity that even a direct nuclear bomb wouldn't budge it in the slightest!"

Then, beams of light flickered, and everyone within the relic was suddenly teleported to the surface, forcibly expelled from the relic.

Even the highest-cultivated Saint Master Gold Elephant and Cyan Dragon Divine General were no exception. The two were initially battling in the space divine hall, only to be instantly relocated to the outside.

Saint Master Gold Elephant's face changed dramatically, displaying an incredulous expression: "The relic…has acknowledged a new owner? But how is this possible?"

The existence of the Insect Mother relics had been known to the Indians since the Vedic Era. Initially, when a mortal Brahma Heaven accidentally wandered into it, he acquired the inheritance of the Path of Time, taking on the mantle of the Insect Mother and some biotechnological aspects of the ancient Kun Race civilization.

Thus, the Harappan Ancient Kingdom was established, and Brahma Heaven, inspired by the hive mind of the Celestial Worm race, instituted a caste system combining bloodline and Thought Ability, establishing an exceedingly stable divine rule.

Brahma Heaven ascended and gained godhood, and if it weren't for the advent of the Great Black Heaven, he might have ruled the land of India for eternity without challenge.

But even so, even at his most formidable, Brahma Heaven couldn't gain the recognition of the insect nest, nor inherit the relic left by the Insect Mother.

"Who on earth!?"

Saint Master Gold Elephant was filled with shock and anger. He glanced around and quickly realized that among those who entered the relic, only Ye Qingzhou and Saint Master White Bull had not emerged!

Then came a great earth-shaking tremor, the violent spatial changes even tearing apart the covering Grand Array set up by Cyan Dragon Divine General, exposing the celestial secret to the spy satellites of the Western Pole Kingdom.

Soon, both the Western Pole Kingdom and Europe were informed of the extraordinary border conflict between Dongji Kingdom and India, with both sides surprisingly deploying Martial Saint-level combat power!

With another intense fluctuation, the presence of the Insect Mother relics suddenly vanished, and the outcome was obvious.

Buzz Buzz~~

Ye Qingzhou appeared on the surface once again, entering the sight of the crowd.

Saint Master Gold Elephant did not see Saint Master White Bull, and immediately entered a heated state, a dragon and an elephant appearing behind him. The pressure from the distorted space due to the power of Mental Imagery almost crushed the vacuum.

"Ye Qingzhou! Where is Jiaya?"

Saint Master Gold Elephant inquired about the whereabouts of Saint Master White Bull.

Ye Qingzhou glanced back at him, his tone indifferent: "She is dead. What? Do you also seek death?"

"You!"

Though Saint Master Gold Elephant had already anticipated it, hearing the death of Saint Master White Bull still stirred a tempest in his heart: "Jiaya is dead?"

Bang~

Upon hearing this, Saint Master Gold Elephant unhesitatingly turned and left. Wherever his feet stepped, space rippled like water, disturbed.

A rare space-related Body Technique Martial Technique, whether for pursuit or escape, was one of the world's top Divine Skills and Techniques. In the blink of an eye, Saint Master Gold Elephant traversed eight hundred miles, running directly back to the India Capital from the border.

Meanwhile, the residents of Xinde City were still toiling for their livelihoods.

Suddenly, a tall and majestic figure appeared in the city center, his form solemn, skin as radiant as gold.

"It's Saint Master Gold Elephant!"

"Greetings to the Saint Master!"

India, a nation of religion, was full of devout followers, all prostrate on the ground, worshipping Saint Master Gold Elephant, the embodiment of God on earth.

Normally, Saint Master Gold Elephant didn't mind showcasing his deity presence before people, gathering ample Power of Thought Ability to enhance his Mental Imagery. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But now, he only wanted to return the news that Ye Qingzhou had gained the Insect Mother relics, informing the other five Martial Saints of India to deliberate on countermeasures.

Clang~

A sudden sword cry resonated above his head, and Saint Master Gold Elephant shivered, his thoughts immediately suppressed.

"Leaving so abruptly, aren't you showing me a bit too little respect?"

Ye Qingzhou used Thought Transmitting Sound to stall Saint Master Gold Elephant's thinking. This was a divine technique Ye Qingzhou comprehended through insights into the Path of Time, from the 'Time Worm' imagery group—Heart-Stabilizing Curse!

Chanting a spell with the Golden Talisman Secret Text, intertwined within his words, it can instantly halt the opponent's thoughts.
