In the following days, everyone set about reorganizing the Canghuang Realm according to Ye Yunfei's instructions. The realm had been severely damaged in the previous battles. The starry sky was strewn with spatial fissures, dark and deep like bottomless chasms. A large number of planets had been shattered, and countless innocent lives had been lost as a result.
A glance across the world showed a scene almost wholly reduced to ruins.
Under Ye Yunfei's arrangement, everyone exerted their Time and Space energies to begin repairing the world.
Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also emerged from the Phantom Tower to lend a hand.
"Uncle… they've ruined my world!"
Just as Ye Yunfei was channeling his Time-Space energy and laws in the starry expanse to repair some of the more severely damaged areas, a little girl appeared beside him, her eyes red as she spoke with a pitiful tone.
It was the very World Origin of the Canghuang Realm!
In fact, Ye Yunfei had sensed this little girl hiding deep within a certain secluded space of this world ever since his return. The foreign experts from before had been far too powerful for the girl to dare show herself in front of them.
Only now that the danger had completely passed did she finally dare come out to see Ye Yunfei.
"It's alright now. Those bad guys have all been driven away by your uncle."
Ye Yunfei patted the girl's head gently, soothing her in a soft voice.
"Uncle, I'm so scared. Will they come back?"
The little girl's expression remained uneasy and fearful.
"Don't worry. If they dare come again, your uncle will definitely help you out and give them a lesson they'll remember!"
Ye Yunfei comforted her. This little girl was the world's origin; having the realm so severely wrecked had inflicted a deep wound upon her. Ye Yunfei understood her current state of mind well.
"Master, we have already repaired the world to a certain extent. However, restoring it completely to its former state is somewhat difficult. I'm afraid it will require a very long time."
Hu Miao approached Ye Yunfei to give her report.
"I understand."
Ye Yunfei surveyed the devastated Canghuang Realm, nodded, and replied.
One day later, Ye Yunfei prepared to leave the Canghuang Realm.
"Uncle, are you leaving? Where are you going? What if those bad guys come again after you're gone?"
The little girl grabbed Ye Yunfei's hand, unwilling to let him go.
"I must go find Sister Qing Luo. She has been missing for a while now and needs my help, so I have to leave.
Don't worry, I will leave a duplicate here. If those villains appear, I will know immediately."
Ye Yunfei told the girl.
"Sister Qing Luo has gone missing?
Alright then, but you have to come back and visit me once you've found her."
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the girl hesitated for a moment, then released his hand and spoke.
Su Qingluo had once spent some time living in the Canghuang Realm, so the little girl naturally knew her and was aware of Ye Yunfei's relationship with her. Thus, she no longer tried to prevent him from leaving.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei exited the Canghuang Realm, preparing to head for the Main World.
The members of the other factions didn't follow Ye Yunfei. Instead, they set off to return to their respective worlds.
Only the forces of the Reincarnation Palace accompanied Ye Yunfei to the Main World.
"Young Master Ye, do you require my assistance?"
The Beast Lord asked Ye Yunfei.
"Not for the time being. I'll search on my own first. I'll seek your help later if it proves necessary, Senior."
Ye Yunfei answered.
"Very well. I shall lead my people back to the Beast World first. Send me a message if you need me at any point."
The Beast Lord nodded, then departed for the Beast World with his forces.
Ye Yunfei took out his Space Transportation Token, activated it, and began teleporting toward the direction of the Main World.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei entered the Main World.
By this time, news of the events in the Canghuang Realm had spread throughout the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and various forces within the Main World had also received word that the Dark Ancestor and the armies of the Dark Faction had been heavily defeated by Ye Yunfei and driven to flight. Every faction thus believed the crisis facing the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had been resolved, and many were now beginning to return.
During the earlier world-ending war, nearly every faction had evacuated a portion of their forces, hiding them away in various secret locations. Now that the crisis was over, these forces were one by one starting to come back.
Consequently, the starry expanse of the Main World was currently bustling with activity, filled with groups and teams returning to their headquarters in high spirits.
After reaching the territory of the Main World, Ye Yunfei reactivated his Space Transportation Token and arrived in the Samsara Realm in an instant.
Leading the Reincarnation Palace's forces into the Samsara Realm, everyone felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing the world before them reduced to ruins.
After the Reincarnation Palace's headquarters was destroyed, a group of its members had sought out Ye Yunfei and pledged their allegiance. Now, these very people had all returned with him.
Seeing the once-bustling headquarters lying desolate before them, many Reincarnation Palace members couldn't hold back their tears, while others cursed the Dark Faction loudly, swearing they would one day exact revenge.
Ye Yunfei went directly to the place where Su Qingluo had disappeared. He released his Soul Force energy, beginning a meticulous investigation of this space. Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also unleashed their Spatial energy and Soul Force energy to help Ye Yunfei examine the surrounding space.
As his strength grew, Ye Yunfei's Soul Force energy had also been continuously improving. Recently, he had refined and absorbed a vast quantity of Soul Force energy-type natural treasures. As a result, the quality of his two Soul Bodies and his overall Soul Power had improved tremendously compared to before.
After investigating for a while, Ye Yunfei started employing a secret art to trace through time and space, beginning to deduce the various events that had transpired in this precise piece of spacetime at the moment Su Qingluo was severely injured.
Ye Yunfei stood within that space, performing deduction after deduction.
However, the moment Su Qingluo was injured, numerous powerful experts from the Dark Faction had simultaneously attacked, extensively damaging the time and space of that area. Therefore, attempting to trace the flow of time and space to recreate the events of that moment was extremely difficult.
This was something Ye Yunfei had already discovered during his previous search here.
Difficult as it was, Ye Yunfei absolutely refused to give up.
Roughly a dozen or so days later, Ye Yunfei was still standing in that spot, continuing his deductions.
"Young Master Ye, I have already dispatched a majority of our Reincarnation Palace's members to search for the Patriarch and our Palace Master."
A Reincarnation Palace elder approached Ye Yunfei and spoke.
"Good. Here's an idea: immediately send people to contact every faction willing to help and request that they dispatch members to search for the whereabouts of the Patriarch and Qing Luo."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and spoke.
