Chapter 307 1 Returning to the Forbidden Land
Land of Apocalypse
"Impossible! Why didn't the Water Prince follow the route I arranged for him?" The entire hall echoed with Xiao Tiandao's furious voice: "He's clearly the male lead, how can he not love the female lead?!"
However, the temple was empty, and the figure in the crystal remained asleep, with no one answering His questions.
After waiting and plotting for so many years, witnessing the destruction of human civilization time and time again, Xiaotiandao finally seized control of Yueyuanming's weakness.
However, the chess piece "Shui Qingli" eventually broke free from His control and even jumped off the chessboard He had carefully created, becoming yet another player.
Bai Guangying, who has no contact with the human warrior Gao Taiming, will never trust humans again; Bing Lixue, the imprisoned spirit princess Hua Ling; and Ai Zhen, who betrayed the Lingxi Pavilion and sided with the third-tier Yin Chen…
There's also the Lingxi Token that was stolen without anyone noticing, the three suits of armor that fell into Shui Qingli's hands, and Yin Chen who will no longer harbor any rebellious thoughts...
Shui Qingli worked hard to change the course of most of the plot, altered most of the trajectories He had planned, and even He Himself became the biggest variable.
This is something Little Heavenly Dao will not allow. He cannot accept that a chess piece has its own thoughts, nor can he accept that all of this is out of control.
Fortunately, the seal on the forbidden land has not yet been broken, and the so-called "righteous" faction still has several fairies, led by Yueyin, putting up a stubborn resistance, so they still have a chance of winning.
Moreover, He wasn't without a backup plan—thanks to Mandora, who had been a major villain for so long, He made the cold-hearted Little Heavenly Dao deeply aware of the importance of bonds to certain people.
For example, Shi Xi and Li Hui.
For example, there's Binglixue and Shuiqingli.
"Well, at least we've got the most important 'piece' under our control." After his outburst of rage, Little Heavenly Dao was unusually calm. He refused to believe that while the world's consciousness was asleep, Shui Qingli alone could defy the heavens.
……
【Fairyland, Ice Crystal Palace】
After leaving the forbidden land, Shui Qingli immediately returned to her Shui Linglong Palace, intending to take out the Shiyan Armor that had fallen into her hands first.
"Water Prince, I suggest you store all the armor in a box and then lock it up," Qianqian suggested, just to be on the safe side.
"That's fine too." Shui Qingli thought about it and realized there was no better way, so she did as she was told.
Although he was a second-tier deputy prime minister, there were very few people in the entire fairy realm who could defeat him, but in order to prevent some unnecessary trouble, he still thought it best to keep the Worldly Armor safe.
"There should only be the one my sister has left." Shui Qingli took stock of the distribution of the Worldly Armor—Huo Liaoye, under Yin Chen's guidance, sent one piece of Worldly Armor to the Forbidden Land, Yue Yuanming personally dealt with Mandora and retrieved the two pieces she took, and counting the three pieces he and his sister had, they had already been collected.
It seems that the seal on the forbidden land will be broken soon.

[Fairyland, Ice Crystal River, Ice Crystal Palace]
"Brother?" Bing Lixue called out to Shui Qingli with great surprise when he suddenly appeared in her Ice Crystal Palace.
She walked up to Shui Qingli and, as if to claim credit, handed over the Worldly Armor that she and Bai Guangying had obtained in the extreme cold ice cave: "Xiao Bai and I have completed our mission."
"As expected of my sister." Shui Qingli praised without reservation, "But more than the mission, I'm concerned about your safety—you didn't encounter any danger, did you?"
“…No.” Bing Lixue clenched her left hand and shook her head calmly.
Shui Qingli naturally noticed that Bing Lixue was acting strangely, but before he could ask, Bai Guangying spoke up first: "We encountered Prince Li Hui on our way back, and after a fight, we barely managed to escape back."
“Royal Prince Li Hui?” Shui Qingli looked surprised, yet it all seemed to make sense: “I didn’t expect him to start taking action so quickly.”
"Brother, what did you say?" Bing Lixue didn't hear Shui Qingli's last sentence clearly.
"It's nothing." Shui Qingli didn't want Bing Lixue to worry about these things, so she changed the subject: "Sister, I came here today to discuss something else with you—I want to take you and Fairy Guang back to the Forbidden Land together."
"Go to the forbidden land?" Not only Bing Lixue, but even Bai Guangying was stunned.
"Why go to the forbidden land?" Bai Guangying asked, puzzled.
It wasn't that Bai Guangying disliked the forbidden lands that much; it was mainly because the reputation of the Ten Dharma Forms was indeed... rather appalling.
Moreover, they were living peacefully in a secluded corner of Ice Crystal River, so why did they have to go to the forbidden land?
Could it be that something happened that they don't know about?
"Because the seal on the forbidden land is about to be broken, the fairyland will fall into a very chaotic situation," Shui Qingli explained. "Moreover, if we don't take you to the forbidden land, I'm afraid someone will come looking for trouble for you soon."
