The Cosmic Age: Subverting the Universe

In the Yunlan Sect, the atmosphere in the Sect Master's room was tense and heavy. Nalan Yanran's face flushed, her eyes flashing with anger. She said to Su Che, "Master, how can you save my dignity by doing this? I really don't want to continue this marriage. I've already said it, how can I regret it so easily?"

Su Che glanced at her calmly, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in his hand flickering with a cold light. He said calmly, "Do you think you can easily cancel this marriage? If I hadn't borrowed Xiao Yan's strange fire for a few days, I'm afraid you would have been defeated by him long ago. Do you believe it?"

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran frowned and said unconvincedly: "Even Dou Huang can't easily succeed in swallowing strange fire, how can he, Xiao Yan, do it?"

Su Che sneered and said, "Since you don't believe it, then let me return the strange fire to Xiao Yan, and you can see with your own eyes whether he can devour it."

Yun Yun watched this scene from the side, feeling somewhat worried. She could not help but ask, "Su Che, aren't you going to kill Xiao Yan by doing this? Xiao Yan is Yan Ran's husband after all!"

When Nalan Yanran heard Yun Yun's words, she was so angry that she stomped her feet and tears welled up in her eyes: "Master, how can you say that! I..." Before she finished her words, she turned around and ran out of the room, and Yun Yun followed closely.

At this time, Xiao Yan also slowly woke up. He rubbed his dizzy head, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Where is this?"

Su Che walked forward and said with a smile, "My dear nephew, this is the room of the leader of the Yunlan Sect. You just fought with Nalan Yanran and consumed a lot of energy, so you fell asleep."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed. He looked at Su Che, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and anger: "It's you again! You shameless thief who stole my strange fire! If it weren't for you, how could I have lost today!"

Su Che was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he said calmly, "You did not lose. You fought Nalan Yanran to a draw. Now you are also a figure in the Sensational Empire."

Xiao Yan sneered and said, "Humph! I don't care about these false names. I just want my strange fire back!"

Su Che took out the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire from his sleeve and threw it back to Xiao Yan. "You're as good as your word. Now swallow this strange fire."

Xiao Yan looked at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He asked in disbelief, "Are you really going to give it to me?"

Su Che nodded and urged, "Don't waste time. Yun Yun will be back soon. Let's see if she will let you devour her."

At this time, Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind: "Devouring, I will help you protect the law."

Seeing this, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated and said, "Okay, I'll swallow it!"

Under Yao Lao's guidance, Xiao Yan began to adjust his breathing and state, allowing his mind to reach the most peaceful state.

He once again sensed the fire of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, and then he guided the fire into his veins.

The violent energy contained in the fire was like a ferocious beast that could break free from its restraints at any time and ravage his body.

However, Xiao Yan did not retreat. He gritted his teeth and gathered his Dou Qi in his palm, colliding with the power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. For a moment, the room was filled with violent energy fluctuations, as if it was about to tear the space apart.

As time went by, Xiao Yan gradually adapted to the violent energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. He began to guide this energy to flow along his meridians and integrate it into his fighting spirit. This process was extremely painful. Xiao Yan's body seemed to be burned by flames, and every inch of his skin felt severe pain.

However, Xiao Yan did not give up. With his firm will and the help of Yao Lao, he persisted step by step. He felt that his fighting spirit was becoming stronger and stronger under the nourishment of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, as if it was about to break through the constraints of his body and soar into the sky.

Xiao Yan successfully swallowed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, and immediately felt the Dou Qi in his body surge, like a river rushing endlessly. He opened his palm, and saw green flames jumping in his palm, releasing powerful energy fluctuations.

Xiao Yan felt his strength soaring, and his heart was filled with joy. He checked his Dou Qi level and was surprised to find that he had actually risen from a three-star Grand Dou Master to a seven-star Grand Dou Master!

"Teacher, I am now a seven-star master!" Xiao Yan shouted excitedly.

Yao Lao's voice rang out in Xiao Yan's heart, with a hint of relief: "You should thank Su Xiaoyou. If he hadn't allowed you to devour the strange fire at your current level, you might only be able to become a three-star Grand Fighter."

Xiao Yan's heart moved when he heard this. He looked at Su Che with a trace of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, senior."

Su Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't deserve to be a senior. I am about the same age as you. Besides, I have just entered the Douling realm."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise: "How is it possible? You clearly have the aura of a Dou Huang."

Su Che smiled slightly and took off the elder suit on his body, revealing the ordinary clothes underneath. He explained: "This is just an illusion. This suit is made of special materials and can simulate the aura of a Douhuang. I did this just to make it easier to walk around Yunlan Sect."

Suddenly, Xiao Bei's virtual image appeared in the room, and a clear voice with a hint of joy said: "Congratulations, my lord. Originally in this timeline, Xiao Yan was only a four-star Great Fighter, but now his strength has risen to three stars. His performance is excellent. I will reward you with one Galaxy Coin."

When Su Che heard about the reward, he almost couldn't hold back the urge to complain. He glared at Xiao Bei and said unhappily, "How dare you give me only 1? This is too little!"

However, Xiao Bei didn't seem to care about Su Che's complaints, and continued: "At the same time, because you helped Xiao Yan improve his strength, you have obtained the qualification to compete for the Heart of the Flame Emperor."

When Su Che heard this, his eyes widened immediately. He shouted in surprise: "The Heart of the Flame Emperor!?"

Xiao Bei nodded and confirmed, "Yes, the Heart of the Flame Emperor. Now let's continue to broadcast the announcement for ordinary players. The unknown mysterious person successfully returned the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. The main storyline of the Battle Through the Heavens world has been restored, and the crisis of world collapse has been resolved. Since the identity of the mysterious person cannot be checked, the system has decided to distribute 1 million cash to all servers in the form of grabbing red envelopes as a token of gratitude."

After hearing this, Su Che was a little stunned. He asked doubtfully, "Does this have anything to do with me?"

Xiao Bei smiled slyly and said, "Of course it does matter. Let me show you." As he spoke, he waved his hand and a virtual interface appeared in front of Su Che, showing a scene where players from all the servers were frantically scrambling for red envelopes.

Su Che watched the red envelopes being snatched away one by one, and his heart was bleeding. He looked at Xiao Bei speechlessly. Wasn't this obviously intentional? He watched others snatch his money away!

Xiao Bei laughed, and then its virtual image gradually faded and finally disappeared.

The room returned to calm again, with only Su Che and Xiao Yan left. Su Che looked in the direction where Xiao Bei disappeared, feeling lost.
