Escaping is shameful, but useful

"Junior Sister Tianxuan."

Luo Tian's sycophantic radar immediately went off.

He elevated his acting skills to the extreme, approaching Tianxuan Saintess as swiftly as the wind, showering her with concern and care.

"Junior sister, you've finally arrived. Did you encounter any danger? If you hadn't come soon, I would have come looking for you."

"I'm fine."

Tianxuan Saintess was already used to Luo Tian's concern, but she shook her head indifferently.

Luo Tian had grown accustomed to Tianxuan Saintess's coldness, and his enthusiasm remained undiminished.

"So, junior sister, are you alright? Did you gain anything in the secret realm?"

"Um."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan declined to elaborate.

She ignored Luo Tian's greeting and turned to look in another direction.

The people from Yaochi Holy Land were right next to them, clearly indicating that they had joined forces with Xuantian Sect.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was also looking this way.

Sensing the gaze of the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan, she exchanged a glance with the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan and nodded with a smile.

They're like two best sisters.

"..."

Tianxuan Saintess withdrew her gaze.

She still didn't like the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

At this moment, Luo Tian noticed something unusual about his surroundings.

After the appearance of the Holy Maiden Tianxuan, many cultivators around her subtly observed the area while searching for something.

"Ye Chen was traveling with the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan. Now that the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan has arrived, Ye Chen should be nearby."

"That fiend killed my junior brother and stole my opportunity; I must personally avenge him!"

"If it weren't for the presence of the Holy Maiden Tianxuan, how could he have escaped?"

"Luo Tian Shenzi is such a person, yet Tianxuan Saintess showed him no respect and instead allied herself with that thief Ye. It's hard to understand."

"..."

It seems that the Holy Maiden Tianxuan is indeed with Ye Chen after all.

Just like the will of Heaven is hard to defy.

Luo Tian kept his thoughts to himself, but his face showed the anger and jealousy that a sycophant should have.

"Tianxuan, is what they said true?"

Luo Tian asked in a low voice, his face grim.

To emphasize his loss of reason, he even used affectionate terms that he only used when he was with the two of them.

"It's true."

The Holy Maiden of Tianxuan remained calm and composed, not seeing any problem whatsoever.

"I ran into Ye Chen by chance, and he did me a big favor."

"Junior sister, I should have said that Ye Chen alone is absolutely not enough."

"Who I'm with is my own business; Senior Brother is being far too nosy. Besides, aren't you with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi too?"

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan suddenly spoke.

"..."

Luo Tian was shocked.

How did the Holy Maiden Tianxuan know this?

"If I ask my senior brother not to force himself because of me, to abandon his responsibilities to the sect, and to sever ties with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, would he agree?"

Tianxuan Saintess gazed calmly at Luo Tian.

"..."

This is yet another question that could cost you your life.

[Crisis looms again! Will he be the ultimate simp or the sect's protector?]

Every choice you make will negatively impact the evaluation of other choices, potentially causing your evaluation level to drop by one level permanently.

Permanently lowering the rating by one level means it will be very difficult to get an overall rating of S or higher again.

Luo Tian was drenched in sweat.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the protagonist made a dazzling appearance.

"It's Ye Chen!"

Someone gasped in surprise.

In the distance, a purple-gold star appeared, streaking across the sky like a shooting star and arriving in an instant.

"Ye Chen, prepare to die!"

Many sect disciples and independent cultivators attacked the Purple Gold Star at the same time.

"roll!"

A loud shout came from the Purple Gold Star.

Centered on it, endless purple-gold holy light radiated out, like a small sun.

Boom!

The cultivators left quickly, but returned even faster; in the blink of an eye, they all coughed up blood and flew backward.

Only after the holy light disappeared did Ye Chen reveal his true appearance.

"Terrifying! How can he be so strong!"

Everyone was shocked and gasped.

Ye Chen now exudes an extremely strong sense of oppression.

It wasn't just that his realm had leaped forward to the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.

More importantly, he exuded an aura of imperial dominance, as if surrounded by stars and possessing an unparalleled sense of self-importance.

"You hunted me down before, it's time to settle that score!"

Ye Chen grinned triumphantly.

He suddenly unleashed a punch at everyone below.

"Purple Emperor Dragon Fist!"

A purple-gold dragon appeared, soaring through the clouds and swooping down!

The sheer aura of the dragon alone was enough to intimidate countless people, preventing them from even considering resistance.

That's enough.

Suddenly, thirty-six divine chains emerged from the void, binding the purple-gold dragon.

"It really was you!"

Ye Chen looked at the person who made the move, his gaze turning cold, his fighting spirit palpable.

"It is because you are jealous of me that you are hiding behind the scenes, driving these cultivators to besiege me in every way, trying to cut off my path to becoming an emperor."

"So what if it's me, and so what if it's not me?"

Luo Tian smiled wryly.

He silently gave Ye Chen a thumbs up in his heart.

Thanks to Ye Chen's appearance, he was able to extricate himself from the conflict between the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Escaping is shameful, but it's useful!

Ignoring the system's sarcastic tone, Luo Tian took the initiative to confront Ye Chen.

"Just because you got some kind of stroke of luck, you dare to defy the world and commit violence in front of everyone. You overestimate yourself."

"Ridiculous! The cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world; cultivators are inherently defying the heavens. You were nowhere to be seen when they were hunting me down, but now that I'm killing them, you suddenly appear?"

"What you do is your business. I'm just warning you to stay away from my junior sister Tianxuan. She is not someone you can touch."

Luo Tian warned in a cold voice.

Ye Chen burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahaha... You can stop me, but can you stop the heart of the Heavenly Pivot Saintess?"

"That's not your business."

Luo Tian flicked his sleeve, his cultivation gradually gathering, clearly indicating that he was about to make a move.

Ye Chen's expression was cold and stern, and he was equally on high alert.

hum-

However, before the two could make a move, the Tower of Babel began to stir.

A vast, ancient aura emanated from around the Tower of Babel.

The ancient restrictions outside the Tower of Babel have disappeared.

The four gates creaked loudly, slowly opening amidst a flurry of falling dust.

"The Tower of Babel is open!"

The cultivators, no longer caring about the battle between Luo Tian and Ye Chen, rushed into the Tower of Babel.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky."

Luo Tian snorted coldly.

He stopped entangled with Ye Chen and returned to the Xuan Tian Sect and Yao Chi Holy Land to protect them as they entered the tower.

"It's still too early to tell who will emerge victorious."

Ye Chen watched Luo Tian's departing figure and said defiantly.

"This is destiny."

A mysterious voice rang in his ears.

"It's a good thing that destiny stopped this battle. Now that you've just received my complete inheritance, your cultivation is still relatively low, not enough to fight against Na Luotian. Only when you are at the same level can you defeat him."

"I know, but I will kill him someday."

"He is your greatest enemy on the road to becoming emperor. You must not only kill him, but also destroy the Xuantian Sect to prevent future troubles."

The mysterious voice said coldly.

……

Inside the Tower of Babel.

Luo Tian appeared alone in an unfamiliar space.

"What a pity."

He sighed regretfully.

If the Tower of Babel hadn't suddenly opened, he would have attacked Ye Chen already.

He was the only one who could see through Ye Chen's true nature.

Without a doubt, Ye Chen has obtained the complete inheritance of the Ziwei Emperor, and his strength is now incomparable.

Luo Tian is now like a classic villain who courts death.

Knowing full well that the protagonist is gradually becoming stronger, they still insist on letting the tiger return to the mountain, raising it to become a threat.

"Is this also part of a predetermined fate?"

Luo Tian shook his head.

Ultimately, he knew this all along, which is why he collected the essence and blood of ancient divine beasts in preparation for a direct confrontation with Ye Chen.

"Let's complete the Tower of Babel trial first."

Luo Tian looked around, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Anyway, the system has no restrictions this time.

He had no intention of simply handing over the top spot to Ye Chen.
