Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

"Master, we can!"

Bai You said firmly in her mind, "Silver Blade says it can fly one last bit! Wrathful Flame also disagrees with giving up now!"

Ye Qingzhou looked at his companions; each of the demonic beasts' eyes gleamed with resolute determination. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he took a deep breath: "Alright, let's give it our all!"

He quickly devised a tactic in his mind, and the eight demonic beasts immediately dispersed, each taking up a specific position.

Ye Qingzhou himself stood in the center, his Seven Emotions Armor shining brightly.

"The seven emotions unite as one, and the star map reappears!"

With his shout, seven beams of light of different colors rose from the monsters and intertwined in the air to form a complex star map—the very same magic seal that Princess Mingjing had cast back then!

The moment the light array formed, Mo Qianzhu let out a howl unlike any other: "No!!!"

He rushed madly toward the light array, only to be bounced back.

The tentacles of Chaos retreated as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Princess Mingjing in the crystal suddenly opened her eyes, her amber pupils meeting Ye Qingzhou's gaze.

"Zhou'er..."

Mingjing's voice resonated directly in Ye Qingzhou's mind, "You've grown up."

Ye Qingzhou was ultimately not the original owner of this body, and she didn't have a deep mother-son relationship with Mingjing; she was merely borrowing the other's identity. Therefore, her reaction was somewhat indifferent: "Mother, what's the next step? The First Generation said to seal it..."

"The Seven Emotions Battle Formation can only temporarily suppress chaos."

Mingjing's voice grew urgent, "To completely reinforce the seal, we need the blood of the dragon vein. Zhou'er, my blood flows in your veins, but it's not enough..."

Ye Qingzhou recalled the message conveyed by the jade pendant: "The day the seven emotions converge, the day the dragon's blood boils—indeed, the boiling of the dragon's blood is the key."

Just then, the battle situation changed again.

Mo Qianzhu's body suddenly twisted and deformed, something writhing beneath his skin. He let out a painful howl as a black hole split open in his chest, from which countless tentacles surged forth!

"Enough... I've had enough of this weak body..."

Mo Qianzhu's voice completely changed, as if it came from the abyss, "Directly devour you... Chaos Awakening!"

His body exploded with a roar, and a huge black shadow rapidly expanded, taking up half of the cave in the blink of an eye.

It was an indescribable monster, without a fixed form, like living darkness, its surface covered with eyes and mouthparts, its mere existence distorting the surrounding space.

The true chaotic beast has finally revealed part of its true form!
The terrifying pressure was suffocating, and the Seven Emotions Battle Array light on Ye Qingzhou's body began to waver.

As one of the main tentacles of chaos swept across, a beast cauldron was instantly corroded into scrap metal!
"It's too late..."

Mingjing's voice was resolute.

But her words were interrupted by a chaotic roar, a sound that was indescribable, like the screams of millions of people at the same time, and the cave walls began to melt.

Ye Qingzhou bit the tip of her tongue, using the pain to stay awake.

He looked at the eight demonic beasts under his command, which were trembling but still persevering.

In this battle, there is no need to hold back.

"Seven Emotions Armor, fully activated!"

The seven gems on the armor simultaneously emitted a dazzling light, and Ye Qingzhou felt an ancient and powerful force surge from the depths of his bloodline, instantly flowing throughout his body.

Dragon scale patterns appeared on the surface of his armor, and his eyes turned into a dazzling amber color, with pupils standing upright like a dragon!

"This is... Dragon Blood Boiling?"

Ye Qingzhou looked at the changes in himself in surprise, feeling an unprecedented power.

Mingjing's voice was filled with shock: "Zhou'er, you've actually awakened the true bloodline of the dragon at such a young age?!"

Without time to think, Ye Qingzhou instinctively knew what to do. He formed hand seals and mobilized the power of the mountains and rivers, causing the Seven Emotions Battle Array to shine tenfold!
"The seven emotions serve as the guide, the dragon vein as the lock!"

His voice echoed through the cave, "Chaos, go back to your cage!"

The seven beams of light converged into a dragon of light, merging with the dragon vein power surging from Ye Qingzhou's body, and rushed straight towards the chaos.

Wherever the dragon of light passed, the tentacles of chaos dissolved, emitting a piercing shriek.

"No!!!"

The core of chaos struggled violently, crying out, "You cannot contain me! I will devour this world!"

Princess Mingjing's voice suddenly became incredibly clear: "Zhou'er, now! Use the Twin Dragon Sealing Technique!"

Ye Qingzhou suddenly understood his mother's meaning.

He then infused the jade pendant with the power of the dragon vein, and the jade pendant, after being charged, transformed into a beam of blue light and flew toward the crystal.

At the same time, Mingjing also activated its remaining power, and the dragon-shaped jade pendant in the crystal lit up in response.

The two jade pendants collided in mid-air, emitting a dazzling blue light.

Within the light, two dragon shadows intertwined and coiled, forming a perfect double dragon seal that firmly locked away the chaos!

"No!!!"

Chaos let out a final, unwilling roar before being forcibly pushed back underground. Its tentacles, like snow under the blazing sun, rapidly melted away.

As the last vestiges of darkness vanished, the cave returned to tranquility, leaving only the crystal at the center of the seven Beast God Cauldrons radiating a soft light.

However, the difference is that the surface of the crystal is now covered with cracks.

"Mother."

Ye Qingzhou looked at the crystal and just then saw Princess Mingjing open her eyes and give him a gentle smile.

"Well done, Zhou'er..."

Her voice was weak but relieved, "The Twin Dragon Seal was even more successful than I imagined. However..."

Suddenly, the crystal cracked open with a "snap," and a fissure ran through it.

Mingjing's body also began to become transparent.

"Huh? Your body is disintegrating?"

Ye Qingzhou continuously poured the power of the dragon vein into the crystal in an attempt to repair the cracks, but to no avail.

Don't be sad...

Mingjing gently shook her head. "I have no regrets about seeing you again. Remember, chaos is only temporarily suppressed; it will break free again sooner or later..."

She couldn't finish her sentence.

The crystal shattered completely, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.

Princess Mingjing's figure also faded away. In her final moments, she placed something into Ye Qingzhou's hand—the dragon-shaped jade pendant. Now, it merged with the other dragon-shaped jade pendant that Ye Qingzhou held, becoming a complete double-dragon pendant.

The twin dragon pendant burned in his palm as Ye Qingzhou stared at the spot where Princess Mingjing had vanished. The scattered light, like fireflies, brushed against his cheek with its last warmth.

"Owner……"

Bai You gently tugged at his clothes, her little paws pointing to the ground.

Where those points of light fell, tiny clusters of crystals appeared, shimmering with a faint light.

Ye Qingzhou suddenly knelt on one knee and placed his palm on the cluster of crystals.

The dragon blood within his body was still boiling, creating a wondrous resonance with the twin dragon pendants.

In an instant, he "saw" it—countless fine golden threads, as thin as hair, extended out from the crystal cluster, disappeared into the void, and connected to a distant point in time.

"Found it, traces of her existence."

Although his physical strength was limited by the laws of this world, Ye Qingzhou was ultimately a powerful figure at the Great Dao level. As long as he was willing to pay the price, time was not irreversible.

Ye Qingzhou turned to the eight demonic beasts, his voice low and firm: "I'm going to try something crazy." The raging flames let out a weak "chirp," its golden and blue feathers dull and lifeless, yet it still held its chest high.

The broken wings of the silver blade trembled slightly, and the silver light in its eyes remained undiminished.

The lightning on Thunderfury's three tails lit up again, and Joyful Toad puffed out its golden cheeks.

Baiyou, Lanyue, Lanlei, and Xuanjia Turtle all took a step forward at the same time.

"We follow our master."

Bai You, speaking on behalf of everyone, said, "No regrets."

Ye Qingzhou took a deep breath and gripped the double dragon pendant tightly with both hands.

The seven gems on the Seven Emotions Armor lit up simultaneously, and the energy of the seven emotions surged toward the jade pendant like a tide.

"The Seven Emotions Beast Taming Technique, Final Chapter: Reversing the Flow of Time!"

With his low shout, the Twin Dragon Pendant burst forth with dazzling golden light.

The entire cave began to tremble, the seven beast-shaped cauldrons emitted long, resonant sounds, and the crystal clusters on the ground grew wildly, forming a crystal forest in the blink of an eye.

The eight demonic beasts each released their primal power, and the seven-colored beams of light intertwined to form a net, enveloping Ye Qingzhou within it.

He felt his consciousness being pulled upstream along those golden threads, passing through the hazy mist of time...

Countless images flashed before my eyes: Princess Mingjing casting a seal on the altar, her softly humming while holding the baby, her resolute figure as she fought the men in black...

As the timeline receded further into the past, Ye Qingzhou felt as if his soul was being torn apart, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Finally, he saw the scene he wanted: just before the crystal shattered, Princess Mingjing's figure was still intact, and it was the moment when the cost of reviving her was the lowest!

“Now!”

Ye Qingzhou poured all the power of the dragon blood into the Twin Dragon Pendant.

The jade pendant transformed into two intertwined dragons of light, plunging headlong into that point in time.

The light dragon entangled Princess Mingjing's illusory image and began to slowly retreat.

However, at that moment, the entire river of time suddenly trembled violently!

A chaotic roar echoed from the abyss: "How dare you... disrupt the order of time...!"

A jet-black tentacle pierced through the barrier of spacetime, heading straight for the dragon of light. Wherever the tentacle passed, timelines twisted and broke.

"You think you can stop me?"

Ye Qingzhou roared, and all the dragon scale patterns on the Seven Emotions Armor lit up.

He formed a hand seal with one hand, and a golden light slashed towards the tentacle.

The moment the tentacle was severed, the entire river of time fell silent.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Guanglong accelerated his return journey, carrying the phantom of Princess Mingjing through the time barrier!
Boom~~
In the real world, the Crystal Forest shattered simultaneously.

After the intense light subsided, Ye Qingzhou knelt on the ground, covered in blood, while the eight demonic beasts lay limp and weak.

But before them, a familiar figure was slowly taking shape.

Princess Mingjing opened her eyes, her amber pupils filled with confusion.

When she saw Ye Qingzhou, her pupils contracted sharply: "Zhou'er? I'm...!"

"Mother."

Ye Qingzhou forced a smile. "Welcome back."

Princess Mingjing looked down at her translucent hands, then at the ravaged cave and the dying monsters around her, and suddenly realized something: "You reversed time? How is that possible!"

When her gaze fell on Ye Qingzhou's face again, her expression suddenly became extremely complicated: "Wait...you're not...?"

Ye Qingzhou sighed silently. Princess Mingjing reached out and gently touched his forehead, a faint light flashing. Her face instantly paled: "You are not my Qingzhou! Your soul... comes from another world!"

The cave was deathly silent.

All eight demonic beasts looked at Ye Qingzhou in shock, even the weakest one, Nu Yan, raised its head.

Ye Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Yes, I am indeed not the original body. Your son has long since... I just happened to occupy this body."

He had expected Princess Mingjing to be furious or grief-stricken, but instead she wore a thoughtful expression: "No wonder... you were able to awaken dragon blood at such a young age and even use the Time Reversal technique... a soul from another world is not completely bound by the laws of this world..."

"I will soon leave this world. To resolve the cause and effect between us, before I depart, I will rewind time and resurrect your son."

After making his promise, Ye Qingzhou's gaze once again fell upon the two dragon pendants that had been joined together in his hand. The surface of the jade pendant shimmered with a strange luster, as if life was breathing within it.

The phantom of the dragon horns on his forehead no longer faded, but instead became more solid, with fine dragon scale patterns spreading from his neck to his cheeks.

"Master...your appearance..."

Bai You timidly stretched out her claws and gently touched the phantom of the dragon horns on his forehead.

Ye Qingzhou then noticed the change in himself. He raised his hand and conjured a water mirror. His face reflected in the mirror was still handsome, but his amber vertical pupils and the dragon horns that were faintly visible on his forehead made him look more inhumanly majestic.

"Dragon Vein Awakening..."

He murmured to himself, feeling the surging power within him.

Every drop of blood was boiling, and the bones emitted a faint crackling sound, as if they were rearranging themselves.

"Chirp!"

Suddenly, flames flew onto his shoulder, and golden and blue feathers gently brushed against his cheek.

The little guy was a size bigger than before, the Tai Chi pattern on his head was clearer, and each breath he took produced tiny sparks.

Other demonic beasts also gathered around, and subtle changes occurred in each of them.

The lightning on Lei Nu's three tails condensed into solid crystals.

The blue light within Blue Tear's body now contains wisps of gold.

The bumps on the toad's back turned into translucent crystals...

Just as Ye Qingzhou was about to speak, the sound of flowing water suddenly came from deep within the cave.

At some point, a pool of seven-colored spring water suddenly appeared in the center of the originally dry Beast God Cauldron, with starlight-like spots reflected on the surface.

That is…

He stood up alertly, only to see a blurry image of a young beast emerging from the center of the spring.

The light and shadow had no fixed shape; sometimes it resembled a fox, sometimes a tiger, and finally it settled into a strange creature never seen before.

"Come……"

A childish voice rang out directly in Ye Qingzhou's mind, "Accept the baptism of the true spirit..."

The eight demonic beasts simultaneously pricked up their ears or feathers, clearly having heard the call as well. They walked toward the spring in unison, their eyes gleaming with longing.

Ye Qingzhou followed cautiously behind. As he approached the spring, the Twin Dragon Pendant suddenly became scalding hot, projecting a message:
"True Spirit Spring - The final trial for the Seven Emotions Beast Tamer. Only those who have gathered all seven emotions of the beast can open it, helping their spirit beasts return to their ancestral nature."

The light and shadow of the young beast on the water surface split into eight beams, each flying towards a different monster.

The moment the light and shadow merged, the monsters let out cries of pain or pleasure, and their bodies began to undergo astonishing changes.

The raging flames were completely enveloped by golden and blue flames, and its size continued to expand until it finally transformed into a beautiful bird with a wingspan of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).

Golden flames burned on its left wing, blue ice flames leaped on its right wing, the tai chi pattern on its head expanded to cover its entire back, and its tail feathers were long and gorgeous, like a phoenix from legend!

"Two-Element Heavenly Phoenix..."

Ye Qingzhou blurted out the name, which automatically popped into her mind. (End of Chapter)
