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

The time difference between the Space-Time Hall and Blue Star was one million to one.

Twenty-eight thousand years in the Space-Time Hall's grand world equaled a single day on Blue Star.

Cheng Bingxi was an Emperor Realm with the Supreme Attribute.

Nangong Siyao was an Emperor Realm with the Life and Death Attribute.

Mu Qingxue was an Emperor Realm with the Time Attribute.

Liu Ya was an Emperor Realm with the Phantom Spirit Attribute.

Jiang Xue'an was an Emperor Realm with the Starry Sky Giant Beast's Starlight Attribute.

Huangfu Xiangling was an Emperor Realm with the Devouring Attribute.

Among them, Jiang Xue'an's realm was the highest, reaching Perfection at the First Stage of the Emperor Realm; Mu Qingxue ranked second, at the Third Tier of the Emperor Realm's First Stage.

The other Beast Girls had just entered the Emperor Realm, all at the First Tier of its First Stage.

The corresponding Rule Origins for the Emperor Realm in the Space-Time Hall's grand world had also been awakened, and each Beast Girl took control of one.

Xiao Ye had stayed in the Space-Time Hall for half a year.

During those six months, none of the Beast Girls cultivated—instead, they clung together every single day.

But it was Xiao Ye's waist that suffered.

He was pretty much exhausted every day.

The next day, another Beast Girl would drain him dry again.

Once they broke through to the Emperor Realm, the Beast Girls really became as energetic as dragons and tigers.

Half a year later,

Cheng Bingxi kicked Xiao Ye aside in disdain and said,

"Hurry up and go keep Fate Divine Spirit company,"

"We're going to focus on our cultivation now,"

"If we need you, we'll come find you ourselves."

Nangong Siyao, Mu Qingxue, Liu Ya, Huangfu Xiangling, and Jiang Xue'an all waved at him but didn't say anything else.

They all had the authority to come and go freely from the Space-Time Hall, so they didn't need Xiao Ye's permission to leave.

When they got tired from cultivating, or if they felt homesick or lonely, they could leave the Space-Time Hall anytime they wanted.

Xiao Ye left the Space-Time Hall through the Golden Light Gate.

On Blue Star, Ziran's realm was at Saint Realm Perfection, Fate Divine Spirit's realm was at the early stage of Emperor Realm Third Stage, Yun Bing's realm was Fourth Tier Venerable Realm, and Yunxi's realm was Second Tier Saint Realm.

Yun Bing's realm was the lowest, only at the Venerable Realm.

At the Zi Family's Imperial Race feast,

everyone just kept feasting, business as usual.

Xiao Ye had stayed in the Space-Time Hall for half a year, but on Blue Star, less than two minutes had passed.

Zi Dao and his wife just thought he'd gone to the restroom real quick.

"Come on, son-in-law, let's keep drinking, we're not stopping 'til we're drunk,"

"Huh, I can't even see through your realm anymore,"

"I'm at mid Quasi-Emperor Realm at least,"

Yun Bing and Yunxi both looked intrigued.

The Ancestral Empress spoke calmly, "First Stage Emperor Realm, with the auras of Reincarnation Origin, Time Origin, Life and Death Origin, Phantom Spirit Origin, and Supreme Origin—he should be an Emperor Realm who simultaneously controls these five Origins,"

"A creature of the universe, in the First Stage of Emperor Realm, can live around one hundred thousand years,"

"Your bone age is only nineteen,"

"With this kind of talent, you'd be stunning even within the Cosmic Imperial Race,"

Zi Dao and his wife gaped, "E-Emperor Realm?"

"Son-in-law, you actually became an Emperor Realm!"

Ziran's beautiful eyes went wide, "I'm only at Saint Realm Perfection, and here you are at Emperor Realm already!"

Yunxi and Yun Bing were both equally shocked.

Back when they were at the Venerable Realm, Xiao Ye had just reached the Grandmaster Realm.

Now, one of them was a Venerable, the other a Saint, but Xiao Ye had actually broken through to Emperor Realm!

Xiao Ye didn't bother hiding anything and responded right away,

"Emperor Realm is just the beginning,"

"Nothing much to say about it,"

"Cheng Bingxi and the rest all broke through to Emperor Realm too, and they're in control of their respective Attribute Origins,"

"Sister Ziran, Sister Yun Bing, Sister Yunxi, back in the day, you three had the highest realms—now you're kinda lagging behind,"

"Especially you, Sister Yun Bing. You're still at Venerable Realm, so you gotta work harder on your cultivation,"

Ziran, Yun Bing, and Yunxi all looked conflicted.

Back then, Xiao Ye couldn't even break their defenses; their first time doing anything, it was them who broke that barrier for him.

Xiao Ye had been like a helpless little chick, unable to satisfy them at all.

*But now, Xiao Ye had turned the tables and become the boss, with a realm way higher than theirs.*

*He'd reached the legendary Emperor Realm!*

Yun Bing said, disappointed, "But our realms can't just be leveled up overnight, you know—breaking through takes years of steady grinding,"

"I spent half a month grinding away and burning through every resource I've got, just to break through one little stage of the Venerable Realm,"

"How did Bingxi and the others suddenly jump to Emperor Realm?"

Zi Dao and his wife were also listening in.

Emperor Realm—a realm all the ancient races of the Rule Domain coveted.

Yet the Rule Domain hadn't produced a single Emperor Realm in hundreds of thousands of years.

Their son-in-law suddenly broke through? Of course they were curious.

Xiao Ye didn't spell it out, just smiled faintly and said, "Space-Time Hall,"

Yun Bing, Yunxi, and Ziran's pupils contracted, instantly understanding in their hearts.

Xiao Ye had already mentioned how you could upgrade the time difference in the Space-Time Hall—Cheng Bingxi and the rest suddenly breaking through to Emperor Realm definitely had something to do with that.

Seeing the burning anticipation in the three girls' eyes, Xiao Ye smiled and said,

"No rush, just handle whatever you gotta do first. You can return to the Space-Time Hall anytime,"

"I've given you guys access—come and go as you please,"

The three girls nodded.

Zi Dao and his wife were totally baffled, understanding nothing.

*But Space-Time Hall sure sounded cool as hell to them.*

"Hahaha, drink up!"

Suddenly, the Ancestral Empress's expression changed. She slowly stood up, the Empress's aura automatically radiating from her.

The terrifying presence of a perfected Third Stage Emperor Realm spread throughout the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

Zi Dao and his wife, the entire Zi Family, everyone in the Rule Domain, and every living being in Blue Star's mortal world were all shaken.

No one could move a muscle.

The oppression was like the will of heaven itself, smothering everyone to the point of breathlessness.

Zi Dao and his wife were quietly aghast.

Who the heck was this Divine Spirit lady with the Emperor's aura?

The Ancestral Empress spoke,

"Human Emperor, the situation on the Starry Battlefield is critical. The White Horse Star System is launching a full-scale invasion—the frontline is about to collapse,"

"Will you come with me to the Starry Battlefield,"

"If I suddenly lose that many Five Elements Divine Spirits from the Milky Way, our side will be in serious trouble,"

Xiao Ye nodded, his voice firm, "I'll go with you,"

"As long as they're not enemies at the Third Stage of Emperor Realm, I can wipe 'em out!"

The Ancestral Empress laughed, "Good,"

"Fate Divine Spirit, guard Blue Star. Make sure no divine spirits from outside the system sneak over to strike at our core,"

"I'll go with the Human Emperor,"

Fate Divine Spirit had no objections.

With a flash of white light, the Ancestral Empress and Xiao Ye vanished from sight.

The oppressive feeling vanished from every being on Blue Star, and they all looked up at the sky, still shaken.

Zi Dao frowned and said, "Fate Divine Spirit,"

"Xiao Ye just broke into Emperor Realm. That Starry Battlefield—won't it be dangerous for him?"

"If disaster strikes, shouldn't the elders take the heat? He's only nineteen—even with freakish talent, he's still just a kid,"

"He shouldn't have to carry such a heavy burden so soon,"

"We're not even done drinking!"

Fate Divine Spirit simply gave him a calm glance and said, "Don't worry. The Human Emperor's abilities are far beyond our understanding,"

"He'll be fine,"

Zi Dao grew anxious, "Shouldn't we send the Rule Domain's forces to the Starry Battlefield and help out the Milky Way?"

"Let Xiao Ye just spend time with Ziran,"

"It's the responsibility of us elders to defend the Milky Way and Blue Star,"

Ziran grinned, rolling her eyes, "Dad, quit worrying for nothing,"

"What would you even do there, cannon fodder?"

"There's no Emperor Realm in the Rule Domain—if you go, it's just a one-way trip,"

"Xiao Ye might only be nineteen, but he's more mature and reliable than plenty of others,"

Zi Dao looked a bit embarrassed, "I'm just worried my son-in-law might get hurt,"

After all the fuss, the Zi Family feast continued.

But on the Starry Battlefield between the Milky Way Galaxy and the White Horse Star System, things were anything but peaceful.
