Ever since the disappearance of the divine tower, the Ji family has never had a true patriarch, and the power lies entirely with the Council of Elders.
Precisely because power is concentrated in the bloated Council of Elders, many decisions are inevitably outdated and corrupt.
Fortunately, most of the star fields are controlled by Ji Hongyan, making the originally chaotic small universe more and more stable.
At this time, Ji Hongyan took the Divine Tower to confirm his identity and was recognized by most of the elders.
As for some elders who frowned and remained silent, they were somewhat greedy for power and worried that the patriarch would divide the power.
But these contradictions are not the focus now. Ji Hongyan took sole responsibility, leaving them with no worries.
The war was about to break out, and the masters of both sides killed each other so hard that the galaxy collapsed and the stars lost their light.
Chen An always watched from a distance. It was impossible for him to get involved in the internal strife of the Ji family.
[Most of the Ji family ancestors who were transformed by darkness have not yet fully adapted to the dark energy, so their combat effectiveness is not strong, and defeat is inevitable.]
"We must completely annihilate the enemy, otherwise there will always be hidden dangers."
Chen An's attention suddenly turned to Ji Ruxiao, who was being attacked fiercely by Ji Hongyan.
Ji Ruxiao used to be at the ninth level of Star-Swallowing, but now she is only at the eighth level at best, which does not give her any advantage in battle.
As the battle continued to expand, Chen An did not have a suitable viewing environment, so he simply retreated to a farther sacrificial planet and let Fuyao capture the footage from a distance.
"The ninth level of Star Devouring is too strong."
In the picture, Ji Yun is fighting against an ancestor who almost broke through to the level of emperor.
With a wave of their hands, the stars shattered, the galaxies collapsed, and the terrifying energy created patches of void around them.
If the battlefield were outside, the battle between the two of them alone could destroy several star fields, and the casualties could be counted in trillions.
Chen An compared himself and found that there was a big difference.
"The seventh and ninth levels may seem to differ by only two levels, but in reality, there's a world of difference."
There are many differences between the nine levels.
Chen An nodded. "I learned from Yao's inheritance that the difference between breaking through the ninth level of Star Devouring and becoming a Great Emperor is even greater than the difference between the first and ninth levels. At this stage, the comprehension of super powers is the key. Those who have been darkened have cultivated super powers for their entire lives and don't have that much time to comprehend dark energy."
As he was speaking, the ancestor of the Ji family who was fighting was bumped by Ji Yun, so that the billions of layers of defense in front of him were all broken.
There is a huge gap between the two sides.
The same was true of battles in other places, which was enough to prove that Ji Ru was indeed not prepared.
"If I hadn't come this time, Ji Hongyan and the others would have definitely fallen victim. Ji Ru could have achieved his goal in less than 100,000 years by relying on them to control the Ji family."
Chen An was glad that he arrived in time.
If the Ji family is controlled by darkness, it will be a major threat to the outside starry sea.
There was no suspense in the subsequent battle. The ancestors were defeated step by step and the death toll rose rapidly.
The death here refers to reduction to ashes and destruction at the cellular level.
Otherwise, as long as they have dark energy, they can still reshape their bodies.
Moreover, many ancestors have spirits from the dark universe hidden in their bodies, which must also be eliminated.
After nine hours of this, the battle was nearing its end.
It’s not that all the enemies were killed, but Ji Ru took advantage of the chaos and escaped with a small number of people.
Ji Yun led the ancestors to hunt and kill, even to the end of the starry sky.
Ji Hongyan did not follow because she had captured Ji Ruxiao but did not kill her.
Unlike other people, Ji Ruxiao has her own body and consciousness, and is not directly parasitized by the dark universe.
"Chen An, can I use your method? I really can't bring myself to do it."
Chen An's mouth twitched as he asked, "Which method are you talking about?"
"That's how you saved me."
Feeling inappropriate after saying that, Ji Hongyan continued to add: "I can compensate you, as long as I can do it, I agree."
Chen An turned his head to look at Ji Ruxiao who was being controlled in the distance. Her whole body was covered with dark energy, as if she had just been pulled out of the darkness.
"No, you're different from her. You were invaded, but she's already been transformed. There's no going back. My advice is to kill her to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Ji Hongyan's eyes were filled with tears as she slowly spoke, "When I was at my lowest point, it was her deeds that gave me hope to live. However, who could have imagined that I would destroy her with my own hands?"
She turned and strode away, ready to take action herself.
However, after taking a few steps, Chen An called a halt.
"Since the consciousness in her body belongs to her and is not parasitic, I might be able to try a method. But the prerequisite is that she must be determined to break free from the darkness."
Ji Hongyan said helplessly: "It would be great if she could be obedient. But I will try my best. If there is a chance, I will let you know."
Let’s put Ji Ruxiao’s matter aside for now, the Ji family has more important problems that need to be solved urgently.
However, for Chen An, Ji Ruxiao's matter is the most important thing at the moment.
He immediately returned to the Fuyao star field and headed to the scientific research center on the main star.
"Brother An, why are you willing to come to see me?"
When I arrived, Ling Yue was busy doing experiments in front of the instrument.
But she was too familiar with Chen An's smell, so she immediately stopped the experiment and pounced on him.
After a moment of tenderness, Chen An explained the reason.
"It might be difficult to rely on Ji Hongyan to recall Ji Ruxiao's will. You have been studying consciousness bodies and have even created an awakening machine. Will it work on her?"
If Ji Ruxiao could be awakened, Chen An would have the opportunity to take her as a passenger.
He really wanted to know what would happen if he took someone transformed by dark energy as a passenger and branded them mentally.
Ling Yue was very interested in this project and immediately called together more than 30,000 relevant scientists under her for a systematic discussion, and gave a conclusion two hours later.
"Your statement is flawed. Ji Ruxiao isn't in a dormant state, so there's no need to wake her up. The key is that her mind is being affected by darkness. What we need to do is peel away the darkness from her consciousness and imprint the more important thoughts to impact them. If successful, her mind will return to normal in the short term, but because dark energy is always present, this state won't last long."
Chen An smiled and said, "A period of stability is enough. You make a specific plan for me and I'll try it out in a few days."
He returned to the Ji family's ancestral land and happened to meet Ji Ba.
"Hello, Brother Chen."
Ji Ba is now very friendly to Chen An, and he wants to put his arm around his shoulder to express his sincerity.
Chen An asked him, "Ji Xuan hasn't come out yet?"
"He was rehabilitated not long ago. I don't know why he didn't come out. Maybe there are other things!"
"What's going on here?"
"The battle is over, and I have been ordered to lead people to repair the ancestral land."
Chen An found Ji Hongyan through Fuyao and traveled over.
She told Chen An that Wutan and others were not caught and escaped from the crack deep in the ancestral land.
That crack leads to the dark universe and there is currently no way to repair it.
Therefore, the twelve ninth-level Star-Swallowing ancestors decided to guard the ancestral land.
"Although the ancestor is guarding here, I still feel nervous and have a feeling that something might go wrong in the future," Ji Hongyan said worriedly.
Chen An consoled her: "Who knows what will happen in the future? Let's just live well now."
"That's right. I should be busy for a while. There are messes all over the Ji family that need me to deal with."
