“Sworn party, Frolasa!” Jian Wushuang stood solemnly between the two individuals, holding a jade slip in his hands.

Above it were the words of the oath. He had thought that a couple of sentences would be enough, but unexpectedly, thousands of vows were listed, intricately connected. Even he hadn’t anticipated it would be so troublesome.

Though he felt a bit embarrassed, both Shen Ling Frolasa and Zhen Ling were very serious. Upon hearing their names, they responded promptly.

Frolasa took a step forward and declared loudly, “Present!”

“Sworn party, Zhen Ling!”

Zhen Ling also stepped forward, his voice resolute, “Present!”

“Do you two agree…” Jian Wushuang frowned slightly. It was his turn to speak, and it took the time of burning an incense stick before he finished.

Zhen Ling Frolasa and Zhen Ling both revealed a hint of pride on their faces. After all, they were the ones who set these vows.

“I agree!” Both of them answered simultaneously.

Jian Wushuang cleared his throat and continued, “Let’s begin then!”

“Yes!”

“I, of the Giant God Clan, Frolasa!”

“I, of the Qishen Temple, the First True Spirit, Zhen Ling!”

“…”

A long string of oaths took a good half hour to complete.

At the moment of the successful oath, an invisible force descended from the Starry Sky and instantly merged into the Origin Sources of the two.

If Frolasa violated the oath, he would perish in the tribulation.

As Zhen Ling wasn’t a cultivator, he pressed down on the Origin Sea of the Qishen with the oath. If he violated it, the Origin Source Sea would collapse.

Without the Origin Source Sea, the Qishen Temple would be nothing but an empty shell.

This risk was not one that Zhen Ling dared to take.

Phew!

Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, everything was completed.

“Jian Wushuang, you’ve done well this time. Once that being from the Origin Source of All Things departs, the Origin Source will be yours!” Zhen Ling expressed satisfaction.

In truth, the Origin Source of All Things should have belonged to Jian Wushuang from the start, and this time, things fell into place effortlessly.

Jian Wushuang was excited about this outcome. Not only did he manage to save his life this time, but he also gained control of the Origin Source of All Things, making it all the better.

Immediately, he respectfully bowed in gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Lord Zhen Ling!”

“Alright, it’s time to quickly recover my strength and leave this place as soon as possible!” Fuego, who had remained silent throughout, couldn’t help but speak up now, reminding everyone.

Zhen Ling raised a hand slightly, signaling the Special Life Forms to step back. Once again, a large array rose in this location.

Originally prepared as a contingency, the array now proved Shen Ling’s thorough preparations, anticipating unforeseen events.

Jian Wushuang and Fuego stepped into the array simultaneously, with Shen Ling following suit.

“This time, let’s first restore my injuries!” Frolasa still felt a bit uneasy about the situation.

Worried about unexpected changes, his Origin Source recovery speed was relatively fast, taking only ten years.

By then, he would have complete Tribulation realm strength, providing him with confidence even in the face of unexpected events.

Fuego paid no attention to this concern, sitting cross-legged in the center of the array. Relying on his inherent recovery ability, he began restoring his own Origin Source.

Meanwhile, Jian Wushuang assisted Shen Ling Frolasa in repairing his Origin Source.

As for Zhen Ling’s avatar, it watched from a distance.

Since it was just an avatar, there was no harm in staying here. It engaged in casual conversation with Zhuang Zhong, inquiring about the situation in Purgatory.

Zhuang Zhong lowered his head, feeling a bit dejected. Contrary to his former vigor, he spoke in a subdued tone, “Indeed, Purgatory is in trouble. Several Tribulation realm experts have already fallen!”

Zhen Ling’s expression changed dramatically; he was completely unaware.

Though unable to directly enter the Purgatory, he could sense the calamity within it.

The familiar auras were clearly present, so how could they have perished?

“It’s devouring!” Zhuang Zhong’s face shifted, fear evident in his eyes.

Upon hearing the word ‘Devour’, Zhen Ling was also startled!

However, he quickly understood and inquired, “Is it that True Master?”

“It’s Gu Jun!” Zhuang Zhong’s tone held a hint of sorrow.

He had nearly perished in the Purgatory. The opponent’s strength was terrifying, but luckily, he was just a minor figure within the Purgatory.

Master Gu Jun didn’t pay him any attention but instead slaughtered those Universe Masters, devouring their Origin Sources.

Even though those Universe Masters had fallen, their Origin Sources were swallowed by Gu Jun, so their auras remained.

Hence, Zhen Ling didn’t notice.

“Gu Jun!” Zhen Ling’s complexion changed drastically upon hearing the name.

Of the three True Masters, one had fallen and transformed into one of the Five Demon Lords.

The other two, initially thought to be unknown to the Qishen Temple, turned out to be the source of calamity.

Perhaps it was the kindness of the original entity that didn’t want to release havoc upon the Starry Sky.

One of them was suppressed.

Zhen Ling closed his eyes slightly, and his main consciousness returned to his true form within the Sea of Origin Source.

Seated in the Sea Observation Pavilion, Zhen Ling began deducing.

Simultaneously, he continued to devour some fragments of memories—memories belonging to Qishen.

Hum!

Zhen Ling’s true form and his avatar simultaneously opened their eyes.

In their minds appeared extensive images, revealing the conspiracy of the three True Masters.

The First Prison.

The clone of Zhen Ling had icy eyes as he stared at Zhuang Zhong, questioning, “How powerful is Gu Jun?”

Having learned about the conspiracy of those True Masters, or rather, the trace of evil thoughts from Qishen Temple transmitted to the Devouring Origin Source, making the other party always remember.

All of this was ultimately the root cause left by Qishen.

Although Purgatory was strong, it was a spacetime treasure with limited power. In case it was broken by the other party, Qishen Temple would truly be in danger.

“As formidable as the Divine Master Huang!” Zhuang Zhong replied.

Zhen Ling felt a chill in his heart.

The strength of Divine Master Huang was at the pinnacle of the Sixth Tribulation realm, ranking among the top three in the Moro Spacetime. The only one who could stably suppress Divine Master Huang was Qishen.

Among the remaining three powerful beings in the Sixth Tribulation realm, one was a newly promoted Sixth Tribulation realm. Among the other two, one did not belong to Qishen Temple. Zhen Ling didn’t know much about them, but the strength of Huang was vaguely the strongest among the three major Divine Masters.

Gu Jun being comparable to Huang was quite different from the memories he obtained.

The three True Masters back then were not that strong.

How did they become so powerful now?

Fortunately, one of them had fallen.

Now, one was suppressed in the Original Universe, and the other was in Purgatory.

Both were like stones on Qishen Temple’s head.

Retribution!

This was a calamity for Qishen Temple.

There was no escaping.

Just as they had recently resolved the internal troubles of the Giant God Clan, a larger hidden danger emerged.

Gu Jun, that lunatic, was not easy to deal with. If he really came out, he might overturn Qishen Temple.

Zhen Ling felt a wave of fear, but fortunately, he had foreknowledge and could prepare in advance.

“You mean, a crack appeared during the battle, and following that crack, you arrived here?” Zhen Ling found it hard to believe. Purgatory was a Temporal Treasure; how could there be a spatial crack on a Temporal Treasure?

Zhuang Zhong nodded, affirming, “Absolutely true. It was a spatial crack that appeared right in front of me. I was the only one who escaped through it. I don’t know why I ended up here afterward.”
