Doomsday Summoning Frenzy

Inside the Dimensional Maze, Wen Yu slowly withdrew his right hand from the top of Arcade's head. He sensed the consumption of Creation Energy and grimaced slightly at the pain in his heart.

Forcibly breaking the soul pact consumed a considerable amount of Creation Energy, but luckily, Wen Yu could still withstand it after the fierce battle he had just experienced.

The Soul Creation Technique claimed to seize divine authority, explore the essence of soul, life, and even all things, then create everything!

The skill description sounded domineering yet hard to understand, but after long research, Wen Yu preferred to give the Soul Creation Technique a simpler and more relatable explanation—anything related to the soul, I can handle! Anything not related to the soul, I can still manage most of it!

Creation Energy, tracing back to its source, could be considered omnipotent! After months of research, Wen Yu had only tapped into a small fraction of this ability's potential.

Contract power was the mysterious force that connected two beings' souls. While Wen Yu might not be able to create contracts, using the Soul Creation Technique to forcibly break one was quite simple.

Destruction was always easier than creation.

Arcade slowly opened his eyes, sensing that the contract power binding him had fully dissipated. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Yu.

"I have no way to repay your grace of rebirth!"

The formal vocabulary coming from a foreigner always made Wen Yu feel somewhat strange.

He waved his hand lightly, indicating that it was just a small matter. Then, Wen Yu slowly walked to another location and extended his right hand.

A faint blue air flow gradually appeared in the air, swirling and obediently lying in the palm of Wen Yu’s hand.

Sensing the lingering aura belonging to Kory above, Wen Yu used Creation Energy to solidify the aura into a small transparent orb resembling a glass bead, which he then tossed to the Cyclops.

"Take this to find Faceless, then bring Kory's body back with Faceless."

"Woof woof."

"Understood, big boss."

The Cyclops picked up the bead in Wen Yu's hand. Just as he was about to turn around, he seemed to think of something and looked at Wen Yu with curious eyes.

"What is it now?"

"Well, um, did we just provoke Ye Nan?"

After recalling the scene of the soul pact being forcibly broken, Wen Yu nodded, "I think I almost killed him, so we probably did provoke him."

Hearing Wen Yu's confirmation, the Cyclops jumped up in excitement, "Provoking him is good! That guy really annoys me. Big boss, let’s make a deal; if he comes back, let me go kill him!"

"That depends on your strength... um, and Ye Nan's performance. However, if Ye Nan can return from the Demon Realm, it would truly be a miracle."

Wen Yu sighed as he said things that the Cyclops couldn't understand, without any intention to explain. He simply waved his hand, signaling the Cyclops to get on with his work.

Then, Wen Yu turned back to look in the direction where the Rift Device originally was.

...

Ye Nan's "handling" of Zhang Shaojie was indeed rough. If it was only Ye Nan alone, Wen Yu might believe it was just a momentary mistake or a slip of the hand...

But Bai was right beside Ye Nan, so such a low-level oversight could not possibly happen at this time and place.

Thus, from Wen Yu’s perspective, there could only be one answer—Bai was transmitting information to him. He needed six or more contract slots from Ye Nan, but Arcade had other uses for Bai. Therefore, Zhang Shaojie could die, but Arcade could not.

Coupled with Bai's insights and their interactions over this time, the Soul Creation Technique might not be a secret to Bai anymore—Bai knew Wen Yu had the ability to break soul pacts, which was why he deliberately left a flaw for Wen Yu to solve Arcade's contract issue.

Offending Ye Nan in exchange for Arcade's gratitude and the possible favor from Bai, from a profit perspective, this round was not a loss.

Of course, all of this was merely Wen Yu’s speculation. He was unaware of whether this was Bai’s true intention, whether Bai would remember this favor, or even the level of hatred Ye Nan currently held for him. However, this did not hinder Wen Yu's determination to take action—profit was just a minor part; the real reason he decided to act was the simplest one.
