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

"Human Emperor, there's not much time left for Gu Qingcheng."

"It happened so suddenly, I didn't expect it either, that something this unexpected would occur."

"Gu Qingcheng's fate, none of us are to blame, this is destined."

The Ancestral Empress sounded increasingly anxious, *things had gotten right to a breaking point.*

In front of the energy ripple screen, Ziran and Cheng Bingxi's faces turned pale.

*It's over, this time it's really over.*

*Trying to resist that Original Will's embryonic form—if she couldn't win, she'd die. If she withdrew and didn't fuse with the Origin, she'd still die. No matter what, it was death.*

*Qingcheng had no chance at all of being revived!*

Jiang Xue'an's face filled with anxiety, "Lord, what's this round bead, can it help?"

"You gave it to me before and said I'd need it one day."

"Now is the critical moment, there's no way you were just messin' with me back then!"

Cheng Bingxi patted Jiang Xue'an on the back, "It's fate, we can't change it, stop putting your Lord on the spot."

"Maybe, Future Sister Qingcheng, the Obsession Body, really wasn't meant to exist."

"We didn't have much contact with Future Sister Qingcheng, her Obsession Body, so our feelings for her aren't that strong."

"The Qingcheng from our current point in time, she's still here, and Future Xiao Ye is for sure gonna find a way to save her."

It was rare for Jiang Xue'an to get angry, her eyes red as she said, "No, it doesn't matter if Mistress is the Obsession Body or the Complete Body, as long as she's Gu Qingcheng, she's my Mistress."

"Mistress waited for Lord in an empty room for a hundred years, that kind of devotion and faithfulness, it's more precious than anything."

"Lord, say something already."

She stomped her foot anxiously, clearly frustrated.

Xiao Ye had just been looking at the Will Adjuster's data, but snapped out of it and immediately used his authority, speaking across space to the Space Ancestor Empress of the Altar World,

"Pull back, protect Future Sister Qingcheng and have her retreat as well, don't go head-to-head with the Origin's will embryo."

"Thank you."

As soon as he finished, in the big screen—

The Space Ancestor Empress's Divine Will let out a sigh, then quickly exited the Destiny Rule Origin Essence.

Within that vast, holy will, there was also a tiny little will.

*So the Human Emperor had given up too?*

In front of the screen—

Jiang Xue'an looked like a wilted eggplant, head drooping in despair, choking on her sobs as she muttered,

"Mistress, I'm sorry."

"Xiaonannan is still as useless as ever, all I could do back then was follow behind you guys picking up scraps, and now that something's happened to you, all I can do is stand here helpless."

"Is it really true that an Obsession-Body Mistress isn't allowed to exist?"

*She started to doubt her own life as a beast.*

Ziran and Cheng Bingxi stepped to either side of her, each grabbing a tiny hand, trying to comfort her.

Xiao Ye saw the Ancestral Empress's will had retreated, and the worry in his heart finally eased, letting out a sigh of relief.

With the Will Adjuster in his hand, he was no longer afraid of any Divine Spirit.

He turned his head and suddenly jumped, blurting out,

"What's up with you all, you look like somebody died!"

?

Cheng Bingxi, Jiang Xue'an, and Ziran all looked miserable and, upon hearing that, a question mark practically appeared above their heads.

Then, all three women got pissed!

"Xiao Ye, you still have the mood to joke around? If we lose Future Sister Qingcheng..."

"Hmph, Lord, I kind of want to bite you right now."

"Xiao Ye! What's wrong with you?"

Facing the three women's glare, Xiao Ye just smiled and said, "Don't panic, as long as I'm here, Future Sister Qingcheng isn't dying."

Jiang Xue'an continued to sob, rubbing her tears away with her little hands, pitifully pleading,

"Lord, you already had the Empress come out, Mistress is going to die."

Cheng Bingxi patted her on the shoulder, "I know you want to cry, but please don't yet. If Xiao Ye says this, he must have a plan."

Ziran's beautiful eyes lit up, "Xiao Ye, you really have a way?"

Xiao Ye nodded, clutching the dim round bead as he said,

"The future me left this Supreme Treasure in my little maid's hands."

"It can erase the will of all beings, and even fuse will into all things. There is still hope for Future Sister Qingcheng!"

"!" Jiang Xue'an sniffled, then leapt onto Xiao Ye in excitement, shouting happily,

"Lord, then let's hurry up and save Mistress!"

"Hehe, I used to crack walnuts with this bead, never thought it was even a little magical, but in your hands, it can do all that."

Ziran and Cheng Bingxi cheered up too—their sorrow vanished in an instant, their dazzling eyes glued to Xiao Ye and the ghostly round bead in his hand.

"Qingcheng can be saved—this is amazing."

"Future Sister Qingcheng's fate isn't sealed, screw destiny, we decide our own fate!"

As Cheng Bingxi rejoiced, her gaze never left Xiao Ye.

This whole time, he'd pulled off trick after trick—solving template issues, upgrading templates, the Space-Time Hall, treasure-hunting compasses, all kinds of Supreme Treasures...

*Were these all sent back by his future self?*

No one knew Xiao Ye more thoroughly than Cheng Bingxi did.

*She thought it over and nodded—yeah, that had to be it.*

In the Altar World, once that vast, holy will emerged, the Destiny Rule Origin Essence calmed down from its manic state, cooling off gradually.

The destiny rule tornadoes and rivers of Origin Power all over the world also gradually stilled and faded away.

The Rule Power and Origin Power that had spilled from the Destiny Rule Origin were all reclaimed at once.

All anomalies in the Altar World vanished.

Only the demolished forests and mountains bore witness to the chaos that had just occurred here.

In the sky, a colossal, majestic Destiny Rule Origin Essence hung peacefully, radiating bright, shifting light, serenely occupying half the world.

The Space Ancestor Empress's vast, holy will filled the other half of the Altar World.

A blue Light Gate appeared.

Xiao Ye stepped out with Cheng Bingxi, Ziran, and Jiang Xue'an.

"Sorry, Human Emperor, fusing wills... I can't help with that anymore."

The Ancestral Empress's divine will sounded with a hint of shame.

*She was disappointed in herself again.*

*She was supposed to be Blue Star's second strongest Divine Spirit, yet when things happened, she couldn't lend a hand at all.*

Xiao Ye waved his hand, "It's all right, I have a way."

"Where's Future Sister Qingcheng? Is she all right?"

The Ancestral Empress's divine will opened her embrace, revealing the weakened will inside, "Here she is."

"With my nourishment, she won't fade away directly."

"Wait, Human Emperor, you said you have a way?" she said, clearly stunned.

Xiao Ye nodded, slipped the ghostly round bead into his pocket, and silently issued a command within,

[Erase the new will within the Destiny Rule Origin Essence.]

"Boom!"

An almighty force descended.

It wrapped the entire Destiny Rule Origin.

In an instant, the Ancestral Empress's divine will began to tremble uncontrollably, her heart overcome with primal terror.

*Why was this happening?*

She couldn't see the Supreme Power, couldn't sense it, but the dread and doom it carried had her breaking into a cold sweat—her will felt on the verge of collapse.

*As she puzzled over this, the Ancestral Empress was stunned to see the Destiny Rule Origin let out a bloodcurdling scream.*

That anguished cry made everyone present shudder all over.

Then the Destiny Rule Origin's brilliant colors faded, as though its divine essence had died, leaving it lifeless and still.

The Space Ancestor Empress gasped in horror,

"Ah—The embryonic form of the will that was just born within the Origin, it's gone!"
