1083 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

# Chapter 1083: Two Great Worlds With the divine stone finally in hand, the next challenge was figuring out how to get out alive. Xiao Zhu and Senior Xue, with an unspoken understanding, dashed off in opposite directions, inevitably heading towards the most crowded areas. The esteemed warriors from the major families had no choice but to flee in panic alongside them, unable to voice their grievances. "It's no use, I've been completely locked onto by the Void Beasts!" Seeing the two Void Beasts drawing closer, Xiao Zhu quickly turned around in mid-air, caught up with the White-Haired Witch, and tossed the divine stone over to her. Now, all three Void Beasts were pursuing Senior Xue. "Jeez, you run so fast, they can't catch you!" The White-Haired Witch quipped, throwing the divine stone back. "What's the point of running fast? Can't shake them off, and they'll catch up sooner or later!" "Well, if you give it to me, I can't do anything about it either!" They tossed the stone back and forth, causing the Void Beasts to run around frantically, while also having to defend against other human fighters. This infuriated the beasts, inciting incessant roars of rage. For three days and three nights, everyone fled across the Beast Wilderness, the commotion growing larger with more and more Void Beasts on their tail, until the situation spiraled beyond their control. "Senior Xue wouldn't possibly plan to just run all the way out of the wilderness like this..." Xin Er murmured. "Of course not," Tian Er, with dimples in her cheeks, gave a mischievous laugh. "I guess our reinforcements should arrive soon, right?" On the fourth day, several intimidating presences appeared in the depths of the wilderness, halting the mad chase of the seventh-level Void Beasts upon sensing this formidable power. Boom, boom, boom! Thick beams of light smashed into the massive bodies of the Void Beasts, knocking them back thousands of feet and leaving deep trenches in the ground. The Void Beasts roared twice, seemingly still eager to fight. "Vile creatures, spare you this time—leave now!" came a commanding shout from above. The powerful light beam attack gathered again, casting a celestial change in the sky. Seventh-level Void Beasts may lack advanced intelligence, but they possess a survival instinct keen enough to sense threats. The foes ahead clearly had the power to annihilate them. Further fighting would risk not only losing the divine stone but their lives as well. After a few reluctant howls, these Void Beasts finally gave up on seizing the divine stone and retreated. With their leaders gone, the gathered Void Beast horde quickly dispersed. "Could it be that the newcomers are all the clan leaders?" Senior Xue collected the divine stone and laughed heartily, "Thank you for your assistance." Only seventh-level warriors could scare off seventh-level Void Beasts, and indeed, the only ones who could arrive at this moment were the leaders of the ten great families. The strong fighters, who had been running for days, finally realized they had been used once more. "You used our people as hostages," said a slender man, "aren't you afraid of angering us?" This was the leader of the Shadow family, the top assassination master in the Void Realm, whose tactics even fellow strong warriors had to guard against. "Not at all," shrugged the White-Haired Witch. "Because I knew you'd come." "Why should we come?" questioned the leader of the Wind family. "Firstly, to personally confirm the threat of the Ancestral Bloodline. Secondly, it's impossible for you not to be interested in the ongoing conflict in the Void, isn't it?" The superpowers had methods to understand the outside world to some extent, better grasping the urgency of the situation than ordinary people could. The Blood Sovereign's Hall had a method of converting laws, meaning they could launch a large-scale invasion of the Void Realm. At that time, what resistance could the local powers muster, and for how long could they hold out? And the clear enmity of the White-Haired Witch towards the Blood Sovereign's Hall placed her as a potential ally for the families of the Void Realm standing with the Nine Provinces Continent. "We need more detailed information," said the leader of the King family gravely. "The degree of threat from the Blood Sovereign's Hall, the current state of the outside world, and... who exactly you are." ... After obtaining the divine stone, large groups began to leave the Beast Wilderness one after another. Senior Xue was invited to the territory of the Merchant family for a "visit." The Merchant family wasn’t one of the ten great families, but their heritage rivaled those of superpowers. Unlike the Void Commerce Association, they took a different developmental path due to a strong bloodline legacy. Choosing this venue for discussions was also a precaution from the families, fearing the White-Haired Witch still had tricks up her sleeve. Picking a relatively neutral force with considerable strength provided some peace of mind. It also served as a test of Senior Xue's courage, as their willingness to attend would significantly impact subsequent negotiations. Fearless, Senior Xue went to the banquet. This was arguably the top-tier banquet in the Void Realm. Not only the ten great families, but other qualified forces also sent representatives to participate. Unlike the arguments back on the wilderness, this time, everyone sat down seriously, analyzing the current situation from different perspectives. The White-Haired Witch was the focus of the banquet. She detailed the state of war between the Nine Provinces Alliance and the Blood Sovereign's Hall, including the apocalyptic powers, laying it all out for the gathered individuals. The strong warriors present fell into silence. Transcendents equivalent to seventh-level warriors in this war were merely minor players... Though there is an issue with rule conversion, making transcendence not entirely equivalent to seventh level, it was enough to feel powerless. Not to mention the pinnacle powerhouses mastering the power of Sovereign Remark, and those breaking through the shackles in the mid-stage of Transcendence. These were existences beyond the comprehension of those in the Void Realm. "Back when the space passage between the Void Realm and the Nine Provinces was still connected, we obtained a lot of information about the Nine Provinces," said the leader of the Ancient family, "Transcendence, mid-stage Transcendence, Supreme... it was from that time we came to know of these. It puzzled us, how Nine Provinces could nurture such formidable warriors, while we reach seventh level, and that’s our limit?" The Nine Provinces and the Void Realm are worlds of the same level, yet there is a clear disparity in power limits. A one to seven bloodline corresponds to the Nine Provinces’ cultivation realms. Here, the average power level of ordinary people is quite high, whereas in Nine Provinces, finding one cultivator out of a hundred mortals is rare, but those without bloodline abilities only make up a small fraction of the population in the Void Realm. Excluding the groups above the sixth level, comparing the overall power of everyone below, the Void Realm could even be said to overshadow the Nine Provinces. "This might relate to the existential meanings of Nine Provinces and the Void Realm," the White-Haired Witch mused after some reflection. "You all are aware these two spaces diverged from the Origin World. However, this 'divergence' might have a purpose." "Nine Provinces is the 'surface' of the Origin World, representing outwardness, expansion, and development. In contrast, the Void Realm is the 'inner layer' of the Origin World, embodying the core, closure, and stability." "When the Void Multiverse faces irreversible catastrophes, this place might be the only hope."
