Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle

When she saw the Black Gold Bronze Hall radiating imperial might, the Space Ancestor Empress felt a jolt in her heart.

On this Emperor Weapon, she sensed an aura at the same level as her own.

This showed that the Bronze Hall's rank was not inferior to hers!

"Hiss!"

The Ancestral Empress sucked in a breath.

The Human Emperor actually possessed an Emperor Weapon of such rank.

Besides that palace called the Space-Time Hall, there was also a Bronze Hall!

She realized once again how terrifying the Human Emperor was.

After the Bronze Hall accepted Xiao Ye's command, ancient and mysterious energy emanated from it, and a colossal blue chain burst from its core, piercing through and linking to the Destiny Rule Origin Essence.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The Destiny Rule Origin Essence trembled violently.

The entire Endless Void shook as if hit by a spatial quake, its vibrations furious.

"Collect!"

The Bronze Hall pulled the entire Destiny Rule Origin Essence, gradually drawing it into its internal world.

All over Blue Star, blood rain fell, as if the planet itself was crying.

All Demon Beasts and humans with destiny templates instantly lost their template's light, rendered crippled, unable to wield the power of destiny templates anymore.

"Boom!" echoed a massive noise.

The space where the Destiny Rule Origin Essence resided collapsed, and the essence was seized into the Bronze Hall's inner world.

The Space Ancestor Empress furrowed her brow, saying,

"Because Blue Star is missing the Destiny Rule Origin, all sorts of turmoil happened across the world,"

"We need to act fast."

"Let Gu Qingcheng's will merge, then return the Destiny Rule Origin Essence to Blue Star."

"Otherwise, Blue Star will fall into chaos."

"Without the Destiny Rule Origin's support, the fate of every living thing on Blue Star will be a mess. Except for Divine Spirits, Blue Star will descend into hell until all life is gone."

Xiao Ye's heart gave a leap, *Was it really that serious?*

The Space Ancestor Empress nodded, her expression grave, "That's right, Blue Star cannot lack any Rule Origin Essence."

"At worst, the world is thrown into unrest, at worst, Blue Star will be downgraded, and all Rule Origin Divine Spirits will be affected."

Xiao Ye waved out a blue Light Gate, saying, "Everyone, into the Bronze Hall. We'll extract Sister Qingcheng's will right away and merge it into the Destiny Rule Origin."

Ziran, Cheng Bingxi, and Jiang Xue'an understood how urgent and crucial this was, and stepped into the blue Light Gate first.

The Space Ancestor Empress looked at the blue Light Gate, feeling some hesitation, unsure whether to enter.

If she entered the Bronze Hall, it would be like entering the Human Emperor's territory, where she would be severely restrained.

If the Human Emperor made a move against her, even her perfect form could be destroyed.

*Her will, too, could end up trapped inside the Bronze Hall.*

Xiao Ye invited, "Ancestral Empress, merging the will still needs your help,"

"Come in as well."

The Space Ancestor Empress hesitated for a few seconds, then agreed cheerfully, "Alright, let's go in together."

With the Human Emperor's reputation for loyalty and gratitude, since she was helping him, he surely wouldn't turn against her.

*Betray someone who helped you?*

*She didn't believe the Human Emperor would stoop to something so low.*

She stepped forward and entered the blue Light Gate.

Xiao Ye followed her in.

Outside, only the empty void remained.

The blue Light Gate vanished.

The Bronze Hall abruptly shrank into a speck of light, merging into the void and disappearing from sight.

An otherworldly beauty, shrouded in mysterious mist, appeared here.

Her bright eyes glanced around, muttering,

"The Human Emperor has already put the Destiny Rule Origin away?"

"The Ancestral Empress should have gained the Human Emperor's trust, or else he wouldn't let her enter that tower."

Her sparkling eyes suddenly brightened, her stunning face thrilled.

"Excellent."

"Ancestral Empress, hurry up and become the Human Emperor's Protector."

"With your help, it'll be so much easier for me to marry the Human Emperor!"

"Time baby..."

"Mmm!"

Her gorgeous face flushed with embarrassment…

Inside the Bronze Hall.

At the topmost level, within the Altar World,

An immense Rule Origin spanned the center of the world, taking up most of the Altar World.

The Origin Essence was radiating dense destiny rules.

This profound and elusive aura made the Altar World even deeper and more mysterious.

Above the altar,

Xiao Ye took out the Soul Capturing Pearl, frowning tightly, "Ancestral Empress, how do we extract the will without damaging it?"

*The concept of will is way too fantastical and baffling—can it really be extracted?*

Cheng Bingxi, Ziran, and Jiang Xue'an also looked totally at a loss, having no idea how to proceed.

The Ancestral Empress sized up the altar, a wary look in her eyes.

When she heard Xiao Ye's voice, she drew her gaze back and smiled calmly, "Will? I get it."

"Human Emperor, are you asking me for help?"

"I've already helped you two times, you know, with this, it'll be the third."

She proudly held up three slender, crystal-clear fingers.

Xiao Ye said gratefully, "Yes, Empress, counting this, it's three times you've helped me. I'm endlessly grateful."

"In the future, if there's ever anything I can do for you, just tell me."

"I, Xiao Ye, will go all out."

Feeling the gratitude and sincerity in his words, the Space Ancestor Empress smiled.

She blinked and said,

"No need to call me Senior, just call me Empress."

"Senior sounds too distant."

"As for the future, we'll talk about that when it comes."

She was closing the distance between herself and the Human Emperor.

Xiao Ye paused, then chuckled, "Alright, Empress. Extracting and merging the will—it's all up to you."

"The four of us are totally blind about this thing called will."

The Space Ancestor Empress was secretly delighted.

She and the Human Emperor were growing even closer.

She could feel that the Human Emperor had let down his guard toward her.

*Otherwise, an all-important task like extracting and merging the will wouldn't be entrusted to her.*

Joy rose in the Ancestral Empress' beautiful eyes. After all her effort, she was finally reaping some rewards.

She said cheerfully,

"I myself am the space rule origin will, born with the help of the Time Empress, so I know a lot about will."

"I'll handle this perfectly!"

Xiao Ye handed the Soul Capturing Pearl to the Ancestral Empress, setting it in her translucent, jade-like palm.

Xiao Ye pulled Ziran, Jiang Xue'an, and Cheng Bingxi back ten meters, quietly watching to avoid disturbing the Ancestral Empress.

The Ancestral Empress's lovely eyes turned clear, a holy aura emerging from her body.

Her body seemed to become like an empty shell.

An immense will appeared above the altar.

Holy, mysterious, profound, and deep.

All these auras filled the altar, enveloping the Soul Capturing Pearl.

The Soul Capturing Pearl levitated, and the future Gu Qingcheng's soul body—already in the midst of collapse—was extracted and exposed to the world.

"Buzz!"

Without the shelter of the soul space, the future Gu Qingcheng's soul body began to break down even faster.

If nothing was done, in two or three minutes it would completely collapse and vanish.

Xiao Ye, Ziran, Jiang Xue'an, and Cheng Bingxi watched tensely, their fists clenched, *their hearts burning with anxiety.*

The sacred will from atop the altar descended, enveloping the collapsing soul body as if performing some kind of ceremony.

Two minutes went by, and just as the soul body was about to disappear,

a will so faint it was almost negligible emerged within the mighty holy will.

The vast, holy will tightly wrapped around that tiny will, transmitting a message,

"Human Emperor, the will extraction is finished, but it seems Gu Qingcheng has something to say to you."

"A will can't hold on to memories. Her memories will soon fade away—hurry, or you'll miss your last chance to see Gu Qingcheng."
