The small teleporter passed through the wormhole, and in less than a day, they returned to the outpost.

A portal has already been set up here, which eliminates the need to teleport back to the Starry Sky Empire's territory.

Li Yu returned here, searched briefly, and after confirming that no contestants had left behind on the planet, the other party left.

Before leaving, I re-verified Qin Xiao's points.

Blue Star, Imperial Capital, Huawu Yuling Academy.

Above the dispatch room, Ye Qinghuan and Lu Chengxiao sat in the lobby of the building.

"Why haven't they come out yet?" Ye Qinghuan said, frowning, her tone somewhat anxious.

"Let's wait a little longer, it should be soon. Didn't we agree to teleport back once everyone arrived?"

The hall was chaotic, with a large number of people, including the contestants' classmates and friends, representatives from the college newspaper, and some social forces.

Although the competition only lasted three days, it was only one-third of the required ten days remaining.

However, amidst such unforeseen circumstances, the players' abilities became even more clearly apparent.

"They're out! They're out!" With a shout, Wu Hantian, Sun Yuelin, and the others came out.

A large number of social forces gathered around and started talking to their chosen targets.

Qin Xiao walked at the very back, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Everyone was surrounded, and I didn't make a sound at all.

Sun Yuelin, with his chubby figure, waved his hand in the crowd, "Big brother, big brother, I'll come to the lakeside cottage to visit you tomorrow."

Qin Xiao nodded and quickened his pace.

Just as he reached the door, a warm body rushed towards him, "Qin Xiao!"

He shuddered, instinctively hugged the other person, and then awkwardly didn't know where to put his hands.

"Ahem, so many people are watching," Qin Xiao said softly.

Ye Qinghuan's embrace stiffened slightly. "Ah, I'm so glad you're alright. Thank goodness you got out safely."

As she spoke, Ye Qinghuan let go of his hand, and Lu Chengxiao looked at them suspiciously from behind.

To avoid the other party saying anything inappropriate, Qin Xiao quickly said, "Let's go, let's go back first and talk about it then."

As he spoke, he led the way out of the building and hurried toward the lakeside cottage.

On the way, Lu Chengxiao asked curiously, "Qin Xiao, what did you guys do later?"

"What happened after that?"

"I saw a big shot appear in Sun Yuelin's live stream, and then you guys disappeared."

Lu Chengxiao looked excited, as if he were trying to uncover some secret.

Qin Xiao shook his head. "Don't pry into other people's business; it won't do you any good."

Lu Chengxiao's face fell. "Alright, alright, I'll ask Sister Qingya."

Ye Qinghuan, who had been smiling, froze, and Qin Xiao also felt a little uncomfortable.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's no use asking anyone. It's a secret, and they don't want us to say anything."

Qin Xiao said seriously.

Lu Chengxiao dared not ask any further questions. If it was truly a secret, he wouldn't benefit from hearing it.

The three had different thoughts and hurriedly returned to the lakeside cottage.

I haven't had a chance to properly observe my harvest along the way, and the flower bud on Jianmu is getting bigger and bigger.

"Okay, I'm going into seclusion for a bit. Message me if anything comes up." With that, Qin Xiao went upstairs.

Ye Qinghuan and the other woman looked at each other in the living room.

"You heartless bastard! Qinghuan, you waited for him in the lobby for so long and were worried about him for ages."

Lu Chengxiao pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

Ye Qinghuan lowered her head. "I'm going to rest too, Sister Chengxiao."

As they were talking, they hurriedly left.

Inside the room, Qin Xiao sat cross-legged on the floor, his consciousness immediately entering the demon realm space.

On the crown of the Jianmu tree, all 107 divine essences have matured, hanging on the branches like the previous fruits of life.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao simply exited the space again and then opened the bracelet.

Qin Xiao: President Yue, I need your help with something. Could you please help me acquire 100 each of the Light and Dark Crystal Cores, each at least Platinum 5-star? I'll pay double the price. I need them urgently.

They replied to the message very quickly.

Yue Shan: No problem, young friend. I'll collect them all and bring them to your lakeside cottage.

Qin Xiao: Thank you, Chairman Yue.

Yue Shan: Hehe, you're too kind, young friend.

Qin Xiao turned off the bracelet and did not reply.

He turned his attention back to the demon realm, his expression somewhat conflicted.

The gray flower bud grew quickly and had already produced small fruit.

Through Jianmu's senses, he had roughly figured out what this thing was.

Authority, disordered aggregation.

A very abstract concept and rule.

Or it can also be called random recombination.

This authority is the divine authority left behind by that god, specifically to assist in the growth of that newly born divine authority.

When Qin Xiao's Jianmu absorbed the existence that Li Yu had scattered, it should have absorbed this chaotic authority.

Li Yu saw all of this, but said nothing.

This wave not only allowed him to obtain a large amount of life essence to replenish the development of his Jianmu talent, but also granted him a share of authority.

This thing is simply priceless. In fact, he now has two kinds of power in his hands.

The right to life and disordered aggregation.

One is from Jianmu, and the other is absorbed.

However, Qin Xiao has no way to utilize this power for the time being.

Firstly, he didn't know how to use it; perhaps he could eat it directly after it matured?

Secondly, this thing has absolutely nothing to do with his tamed beasts.

Depending on the situation of Jianmu, once a certain level is reached, his divine beasts will all have their own exclusive authority to comprehend.

This so-called disordered aggregation is probably neither suitable nor necessary.

Thinking of this, his thoughts shifted to Jingjing's space.

The dragon skeleton was still radiating high temperatures, making the entire space unbearably hot.

If it weren't for Jingjing's fire attribute, she probably wouldn't be able to stay here right now.

This thing reacts when it gets close to the statue, and the reaction is even stronger when it is absorbed by the Jianmu tree and forms a flower bud.

Is there some inherent connection?

He was debating whether or not to put this thing in and try it out.

The fruit was almost ripe, and since it was just sitting there anyway, we figured we might as well leave it there.

However, he was also worried that if he created a demigod-level monster, would he be able to control it?

"Seriously, this thing has been dead for who knows how many years. Can it really come back to life?" Qin Xiao was somewhat skeptical.

Qin Xiao had indeed inquired about this with Li Yu on the spaceship.

The other party replied, 'If a demigod has been dead for too long, or has been stripped of their authority, then there is no possibility of resurrection.'

Judging from its age, this dragon bone is at least a thousand years old. After such a long time, it must have lost its vitality.

Let's do it!

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, but decided to give it a try. The strangeness of this thing was really making him feel like he had a bone stuck in his throat.

Even if he really comes back to life, he refuses to believe that his colorful demon realm can't contain him!

If I were to sever the connection between the demon realm and reality, this dragon bone would become dormant; its sealing properties are quite good.

Without hesitation, Qin Xiao gritted his teeth and transferred the dragon bone from his spatial dimension.

The moment the enormous dragon skeleton appeared in the starry sky, streaks of black and red light emanated from its bones and rapidly surged toward the tiny fruit.

In an instant, the gray fruit was stained blackish-red.

The dragon bones also fell silent, eventually turning into a pile of dust and disappearing completely!
