"The necromancer is still alive?"
Inoue Amano asked in disbelief, "How do you know?"
The Demon Emperor Yu said, "I saw it with my own eyes."
Confirming that Zhang Yue was still alive, Inoue Amano felt shock at first, then overwhelming excitement.
"That's really great!"
"I always thought he was dead. I even felt it was a pity he didn't die by my hand. Now, I can finally kill the necromancer myself!"
As he spoke, endless desire rose in Inoue Amano's eyes, "Then next, humans, prepare to welcome your new king!"
———
Meanwhile, on the other side.
[God Realm]
Crash!
A spatial rift appeared.
Then a familiar figure walked out of it.
That figure was none other than Chen Zijin.
Stepping out of the rift and seeing Zhang Yue, Chen Zijin rushed over excitedly, throwing her arms around him.
"Thank goodness, Zhang Yue, I knew it. You had to still be alive!"
Zhang Yue lifted his hand and gently patted Chen Zijin's head, saying, "You shouldn't have come."
In that moment, the man countless people called the world's number one straight man finally had his heart moved by this girl.
Because she was the first who had repeatedly risked her life for him.
Xingtian watched this scene from the side, feeling relieved.
Yet at the same time, a wave of sadness washed over her.
Because this scene made her recall the moment Kai abandoned her.
How she too longed for someone who truly cared about her.
But just then, Xingtian suddenly sensed a cold aura sweep over.
Swish!
A sharp dagger pressed against her pale jade-like neck.
Before her, Chen Zijin was staring at her with killing intent in her eyes.
Just as Chen Zijin was about to strike, Zhang Yue stopped her, "Wait!"
"She saved me!"
As soon as Zhang Yue said this, Chen Zijin's face filled with shock, "What?"
"Wasn't she the one who killed you? I saw it with my own eyes."
Because in the last second before Zhang Yue's video cut off, everyone had seen clearly that it was Xingtian who stabbed Zhang Yue through the chest.
Even though she didn't know how he survived, Chen Zijin was certain: the one who killed Zhang Yue before was this woman.
Zhang Yue explained, "That was to send a fake message to the outside world that I had died."
"So… everything was fake?", Realizing the truth, Chen Zijin hurriedly lowered her dagger and apologized to Xingtian, "Sorry, I misunderstood you."
Xingtian didn't mind. She smiled softly and said, "It's fine."
Zhang Yue sighed to Chen Zijin, "Luckily you didn't attack."
Chen Zijin pouted, "Why, you can't bear the thought or what?"
Zhang Yue paused a moment and said, "If you had actually attacked, you'd already be a corpse."
Chen Zijin stared at Xingtian in disbelief, then at Zhang Yue, "She's really that strong?"
Zhang Yue said, "She only needs one look to kill me."
Chen Zijin's mouth dropped open, "That terrifying?"
Xingtian smiled gently, "I could've done it when you first entered the God Tomb, but not anymore."
"Alright, let's talk business," Xingtian continued, "Since your beloved has already come in, next you two will test your compatibility to see if there's any hope of breaking the God Realm."
At this moment, both Xingtian and Zhang Yue felt tense.
Because Chen Zijin was their only hope.
If her compatibility with Zhang Yue was too low, it would mean the three of them would be trapped in the God Tomb forever, unable to leave.
Chen Zijin asked Xingtian, "How high does compatibility need to be to pass?"
"At least 50 percent," Xingtian said, "Of course, the higher the better. There is no upper limit. But it must not be below 50 percent, or we can't obtain the dynasty core."
Chen Zijin glanced nervously at Zhang Yue, "Then let's do it."
She was tense.
Because this felt very much like a kind of test.
The compatibility rate seemed to reflect how much they meant to each other.
And it determined whether they could leave the God Realm.
Following Xingtian's instructions, Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin each extended a hand and interlocked fingers.
They looked into each other's eyes, and silver light rose from their bodies.
At the same time, above their heads appeared a percentage—
3%!
Seeing this number, Xingtian's heart instantly sank.
But the number held at 3 percent for only one second before it began rising.
7%!
13%!
25%!
39%!
55%!
79%!
8...!
Throughout the process, Xingtian's expression shifted from disappointment to shock.
She was stunned beyond measure by their compatibility.
Because in only five seconds, the number had already exceeded 100 percent.
And it was still rising.
108%!
119%!
132%!
155%!
1...!
Xingtian was completely dumbfounded.
She never imagined compatibility could even surpass the 100 percent limit.
Finally, the number stopped at 170 percent.
At the same time, Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin lifted their heads and stared at the value above them in surprise.
"170 percent… is that high?", Chen Zijin asked Xingtian.
Xingtian said, "Not high. Extremely high."
"Prepare yourselves. I'm lending you my power. After that, you can attack the Eight Dynasties."
She took two steps back and used her blazing sword to release two streams of energy into Zhang Yue and Chen Zijin.
In an instant, both watched their status values skyrocket.
Because as long as compatible power existed, Xingtian could convert her own power along that link.
And the conversion matched the compatibility rate exactly.
Their compatibility was 170 percent, so Xingtian could transmit 170 percent of her power to them.
With this power, Zhang Yue's combat strength exploded off the charts.
At this moment, his power surpassed Xingtian's by more than 1.7 times.
Adding Zhang Yue's own power on top of that meant his total strength was at least twice Xingtian's.
As for Chen Zijin, because her base stats were low, her entire strength came from Xingtian's power.
That same 1.7 times.
Even so, she now surpassed Xingtian in strength.
Next, both sets of eyes turned toward the Eight Dynasties…
