Understanding the general situation, but far from making a real transformation.

Zhou Yan pondered for a long time and finally derived a unique engraving method, compatible with the Withered Bone Warship itself, for a distinctive derivation.

Zhou Yan used the unique Thunder Seal Purple Flame to destroy part of the Withered Bone Warship’s hull, acquiring some of the withered bones. Then, he used the Speech Spirit Rules to engrave, enhance the bones’ transformation, and form a unique message, attempting to penetrate the Endless Void Singularity and send information to the Speech Spirit Goddess.

In this process, Zhou Yan intended to warn the Speech Spirit Goddess in advance to be cautious of unknown changes, as it’s uncertain when the changes would erupt, so Zhou Yan needed to transmit the message immediately.

The transmission process was unsuccessful and could even be described as a complete failure.

As no singularity could be penetrated and it inexplicably shattered.

However, the failure was not without gain, as during the transmission, the unique aura of Speech Spirit energy unexpectedly incited the upheaval of the Golden Armor Ship, allowing Zhou Yan to detect a trace of the secret of the Withered Bone Warship itself.

The secret of the Withered Bone Warship is not particularly unique because Zhou Yan only realized that it’s a simplified version of the Ancestor Dragon Warship.

Although the exterior differences are apparent, Zhou Yan perceived this point after he took the withered bones of the Withered Bone Warship and conducted rituals.

After performing rituals on the withered bones, Zhou Yan prepared to send a message to Fu Wanling, but instead, by coincidence, he used the Speech Spirit Rules for the ritual, thereby mastering some control power over the Withered Bone Warship.

Thus, when Zhou Yan stood up again and looked at the previously unreachable Golden Armor Ship, there was now a trace of confidence in his eyes.

Instead of directly approaching the Withered Bone Warship, Zhou Yan entered a certain location on it, where he unlocked some of the rune shackles, retrieving several very peculiar skulls. Once the skulls were removed, the Withered Bone Warship indeed underwent some change.

Afterward, Zhou Yan entered the place of the energy hub, where he temporarily obtained a strand of control authority over the Withered Bone Warship through the Blood Sacrifice Speech Spirit Technique.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yan promptly lifted the blockade of the Withered Bone Warship against the Golden Armor Ship.

Then, the Golden Armor Ship gradually increased in size, while Zhou Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, coming to the side of the Golden Armor Ship.

The Golden Armor Ship shrank down to the size of a palm, floating in the void, as Zhou Yan reached out his hand, and it landed in his palm.

At this moment, as the Golden Armor Ship fell into Zhou Yan’s hand, the Withered Bone Warship suddenly underwent an inexplicable mutation, followed by the entire void heaven and earth becoming extremely chaotic, as if the dark cataclysm was about to descend.

Waves of destructive aura enveloped the heaven and earth, and waves of doomsday catastrophe aura suddenly descended, causing Zhou Yan’s heart to sink, yet leaving him clueless about what was happening.

The Withered Bone Warship was in turmoil; the heavens seemed to be quaking, as if some exceptionally terrible unknown peril was about to arrive.

A strong feeling of unease emerged in Zhou Yan’s heart, making him feel cold all over, his scalp tingling, unexpectedly evoking a sense of unknown fear.

Given his disposition and ability, for such a situation to arise also indicates the enormity of this unknown peril.

At this moment, the Golden Armor Ship in Zhou Yan’s hand gradually flickered with a faint golden light, within which Jia Yongheng, who had been slumbering, inexplicably opened his eyes.

In his eyes appeared two wisps of purple mist, like ethereal immortal clouds hovering in the unknown eye world sky.

But this strange phenomenon vanished in an instant, and Jia Yongheng inexplicably stood up, his body gradually enlarging until it was the same size as Zhou Yan.

Then the Golden Armor Ship transformed into a suit of golden armor, directly worn on his body, with the golden light gradually dimming and finally turning into a simple pale yellow scholarly robe.

This scene was completed in an instant, without wasting time.

At the moment Zhou Yan was panicking, Jia Yongheng had already appeared next to him, then unexpectedly extracted unknown original rules energy from the endless darkness, forming a stable King’s Rule, temporarily enveloping both of them.

"Zhou Yan, I didn’t expect to see you again."

Jia Yongheng uttered a bitter smile, speaking with a tone quite tinged with emotion.

The scene calmed a lot, and the terrifyingly perilous aura no longer appeared, allowing Zhou Yan to exhale heavily, nodding with some emotion as well.

"Indeed, and unexpectedly, under such circumstances."

Zhou Yan replied.

Jia Yongheng nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I am not entirely clear about the past events, but I know almost everything about your journey here. Before, I used some means to gain some information, but my task was unfinished, leaving me trapped, and thanks to your help, I could escape that predicament."

Speaking with a slightly wistful tone, Jia Yongheng said.

Zhou Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Now, all these are minor matters; the key question is, what should we do next? I originally thought that as I became stronger, things would become easier, which is true for the most part, but more things, unexpectedly, have become even harder."

Upon hearing Zhou Yan’s words, Jia Yongheng smiled slightly and said, "That’s because you aren’t completely strong yet! However, things will temporarily get better now. But before that, I must ascertain one thing to make a choice."

Jia Yongheng said, looking at Zhou Yan with a slightly complicated gaze.

"What is it?"

Zhou Yan asked.

"I have confirmed there will be a great mutation in the Word Spirit Race, so I pursued the inheritance of the Moral King hoping to awaken him, initiating some change, but now it’s probably too late. Seeing your situation, you have grasped some Speech Spirit techniques, possessing the talent of a Word Spirit King Creator.

You probably have had dealings with the Speech Spirit Goddess; you might not know, but it’s not the avatar of the Speech Spirit Goddess but the true form.

In the Word Spirit Race, avatars and true forms are inverse to ours, so the ones venturing out on training are the true forms, and the avatars of the Word Spirit Race are merely shells, akin to stationed bodies."

"Now, you’re able to rescue me, likely because of the extremely remarkable means used by the Speech Spirit Goddess, which certainly leads to unimaginable disaster. My decision involves you.

I hope you can relinquish the Word Spirit Creator’s rules you comprehend, then, within my Dao combination, form a complete original rule of Speech Spirit, then, utilizing the relic you obtained back then, form a Yin Yang Speech Spirit root and gift it to the Speech Spirit Goddess. Thus, allowing her to advance, not only recovering from her dire states but potentially going further, reaching the King Realm.

Once the Speech Spirit Goddess becomes the Word Spirit King, many things will become much easier."

"However, doing so will cause you irreparable losses, possibly leading to realm collapse, damaging the foundations of your Eternal Spirit."

"But the Life Ancient Tree from the Elf Domain and a part of Life Soul you left behind will prevent your destruction."

"Now, it’s up to you whether to choose it."

Jia Yongheng said.

His speaking tone seemed very familiar to Zhou Yan.

Yet, this wasn’t Jia Yongheng’s tone; it was another person’s tone.

This person, whom Zhou Yan was also familiar with, is Lee Ran, Zhou Yan’s brother Lee Ran.

Indeed only such a person could lay plans like this.

"My brother’s means?"

Zhou Yan inquired.

"Yes, this time, I’m doing it for him, but due to certain reasons, he’s unable to show up himself. Rest assured, everything he does has corresponding reasons and objectives, and he truly means no harm to you."

Jia Yongheng affirmed without hesitation.

He did not hide this, nor was there any need to.

Given Zhou Yan’s proximity to becoming a King himself, some matters can’t be concealed from him.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Of course, I trust him, so I’ve made my decision. I agreed."

"Originally, I also considered rescuing Fu Wanling but couldn’t find a way; now having a way fits my intentions. Moreover, I also foresaw the Word Spirit Race’s cataclysm, so they need someone capable of presiding over it, a King. That is the most important thing now; as for later, those future matters can wait."

"For now, we’ll take it one step at a time."

Zhou Yan said.

Jia Yongheng nodded, similarly agreeing with Zhou Yan’s opinion.
