Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

After Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal exchanged some jokes, they walked into the Treasure Tower. Initially, they were quite cautious, but later on, they relaxed.

"It's really strange. A sacred place like this doesn't have a guardian, nor any mechanisms. Does that mean anyone can come here?"

To this question from the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, Zhao Yi didn't say anything. He just watched cautiously around as they continued to climb, reaching the tenth floor.

Suddenly, an old man appeared, startling both Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal. The Nine Dragon Jade Seal couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.

"Old sir, if you wanted to chat with us, why didn't you do it on the first floor instead of suddenly appearing here out of nowhere? You really gave us a fright."

"What you said is utterly wrong. You're not human, so how could you be frightened to death? And as for Zhao Yi, I don't believe he's less brave than you."

The old man laughed and retorted the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, leaving it speechless. Zhao Yi had already noticed that the old man meant no harm.

However, he still didn't fully trust him, and the old man proceeded to introduce himself.

"My name is the Light Envoy. I'm here because you captured the Five-Colored Fish, which can manipulate the Power of the Five Elements."

"Old sir, I don't quite understand. Why is it that capturing the fish brings you here? Is it because this fish can't leave the Origin?

Are you planning to ask me to release it back into the river?"

At this moment, Zhao Yi grew wary. If this was the old man's true intention, then there was no need to continue the conversation.

After all, he couldn't let go of this thing.

The Light Envoy shook his head upon hearing this and kindly explained to Zhao Yi.

"Not at all. You must know that everything, whether in the old cosmos or the new cosmos, relies on the Power of the Five Elements.

Once you have this, you can become the Cosmic Sovereign of the new cosmos and rapidly create the Great Thousand Worlds and planets."

The Light Envoy's words were somewhat cryptic, making Zhao Yi a bit puzzled, yet he didn't offer further explanation. He waved his hand with a smile.

A very bright object appeared before Zhao Yi, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes, making him instinctively retreat while assuming a fighting stance.

The Light Envoy remained standing there, unmoved, and then spoke to Zhao Yi.

"This Light Pearl, keep it. You'll naturally understand its purpose when you create the new cosmos.

I have nothing else. I know you're looking for an exit. The exit is actually in the long river.

Jump in and follow the current to leave the Origin, but be careful."

The Light Envoy directly provided the answer, and the glowing object floated towards Zhao Yi; its light had dimmed considerably. Zhao Yi gently held it in his hand.

He found the Light Pearl warm and comfortable, and then he thanked the Light Envoy, who shook his head and replied.

"No need to thank me. Everything I do is for the life forms of the cosmos. You are a righteous person, more compassionate than the Divine Tree.

It's the new life's fortune to have you as the Cosmic Sovereign, but don't assume everyone supports you."

"I understand many people dislike me, especially those dark mages. Rest assured, I will persistently attend.

I will not fall into corruption."

"The protagonist is already out there. He should be waiting for you at the Origin Gate, so please be careful. Remember, remember."

As the Light Envoy spoke, his body gradually vanished, and with his disappearance, the entire Treasure Tower vanished as well.

When Zhao Yi regained his senses, they were already standing on a barren mountaintop, with no trace of the tower left.

A light breeze blew, stirring countless emotions in Zhao Yi's heart.

"Master, what are you thinking? I sense a significant fluctuation in your emotions, which is not a good thing."

"I just didn't expect to receive so much support. Never mind, let's not talk about it. Let's take a quick break and leave this place."

Regarding the Cosmic Origin, Zhao Yi couldn't bear staying a minute longer. He loathed this chaotic atmosphere and sky.

After resting for less than five minutes, they returned to the long river. After Zhao Yi checked everything, he jumped into the river, eyes open, swimming through the currents.

The fish, upon seeing him, seemed to recognize him, constantly wagging their tails at him, and Zhao Yi waved back.

As the water's speed increased, Zhao Yi grew more vigilant, unsure whether there would be danger in the long river.

Suddenly, a burst of white light appeared ahead, and Zhao Yi shielded his eyes with his hand, feeling his body suddenly dropping down. When he opened his eyes to examine closely,

he realized he had left the Origin and returned to the cosmos. At that moment, behind him, a cold glimmer flashed, directly thrusting towards his chest.

Prepared, Zhao Yi turned as the cold glimmer passed, grabbing the attacker's wrist and throwing him aside.

Zhao Yi initially thought the protagonist had launched the attack himself, but it turned out to be a prisoner wielding that magical short sword.

The prisoner had thought this attack was foolproof, yet it failed miserably. During his moment of distraction, Zhao Yi used the Golden Light Technique to bind him.

He struggled vigorously, but to no avail. He attempted to use the short sword to cut through the golden light, but Zhao Yi had already appeared before him, directly snatching the weapon away.

"If you want to kill, just kill. Spare me your words, as I will not yield to you, nor will I disclose anything."

The opponent wore a fearless expression, making Zhao Yi smile faintly.

At that moment, the short sword emitted a forceful and evil power, and Zhao Yi, using the Time Law, caused the short sword to disintegrate in mid-air.

"Firstly, let me tell you, I don't want your life, nor do I seek the protagonist's whereabouts. We have an agreement and will meet shortly.

What I want to discuss is something else. Could you consider working with me? I do quite appreciate you prisoners.

Especially your loyalty and camaraderie, though you've chosen the wrong side."

"There's no need for you to say anything. We've sworn an oath of deathly loyalty to the protagonist, and no words from you will change that."

"Master, these folks are like stones from an outhouse—stinky and stubborn. I think it's better to just finish them off."

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal voiced its inner thoughts, but Zhao Yi was unwilling to do so. He waved his arm lightly, and the golden light vanished.

The prisoner was somewhat surprised, unsure why Zhao Yi would do such a thing.

"Are you planning to release me, or is this some sort of cat-and-mouse game?"
