The Observer breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, it turns out this unknown deity called Ni Yang is connected to Ji Xing; no wonder during his advance calculation process, even after receiving the power of the Radiant Series, he still couldn’t deduce too much information.
Initially, this situation was quite a blow to him, but now, after receiving confirmation from Zhang Xiaoman, he felt relieved. It seems the other is under the protection of the mighty figure before him, thus impacting his calculations.
Zhang Xiaoman, however, had no mind for the Observer’s struggles. At this moment, he only had one image in his mind, the one he saw in the projection earlier—Ni Yang.
"Ni Yang, how can he be the key point? Where exactly did he go, and why have I been unable to reach him all this while..."
Ever since their previous parting, Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t seen him again.
Back then, Ni Yang mentioned meeting an old acquaintance and went searching for them, leaving no word behind. Zhang Xiaoman did not know where he went.
In reality, Zhang Xiaoman was also curious why Ni Yang, evidently a divine beast born in the Divine Ancient World, would have acquaintances in the Second Universe.
However, based on his trust in Ni Yang, he didn’t ask further.
Moreover, Ni Yang left in such a hurry, and his divine soul was already released from the Sect Leader Jade and fused back into his body, so Zhang Xiaoman could no longer contact him directly using past methods.
"From the recent situation, Ni Yang seemed very anxious, and he appeared heavily injured; what could have happened to make him so bedraggled...?"
Zhang Xiaoman was shocked.
He was quite aware of Ni Yang’s strength.
Even if not reaching the Middle Transcendent Peak level, he was definitely close; in this universe, he was practically invincible. Who could have forced him to such a dire situation?
"Could it be... Yan?"
Zhang Xiaoman almost immediately thought of someone.
No help for it, as outside of the Demon Lord, this universe hadn’t seen any other Upper Transcendent level figures for a long time.
Any occurrence beyond his current power system would naturally be pinned on the other.
Yet Zhang Xiaoman only harbored suspicions and didn’t confirm it, for the current situation differed somehow from before.
Right before, he had seen a pale fallen angel, whose strength was close to Ni Yang’s. Given its level, it shouldn’t be nameless, yet he hadn’t heard of it.
This indicated that in the unknown domains, many experts indeed existed. Especially in the Demon Realm, judging the universe’s overall strength couldn’t rely solely on conjecture.
Using the Unlimited Teleportation ability, Zhang Xiaoman sensed Ni Yang’s location, planning to teleport directly to him and check on his situation.
However, a surprising situation occurred, and his perception failed!
"Failed perception? How could this be...?"
This was the first time he encountered such a situation, knowing that Ni Yang possessed the Master of Destruction Ring, and was imprinted with the Eye of the Starry Sky’s mark through the Advanced Enlightenment Array, now considered a Star Alliance member—even listed in the gang member list of the System.
Considering these conditions, Zhang Xiaoman should have been able to lock onto him via the teleportation ability attached to the North Star Ring.
Facing such an inability to lock onto him, this was a first for Zhang Xiaoman.
Quickly opening the gang member list, Zhang Xiaoman found Ni Yang’s name, but to his surprise, it turned gray.
"Turned gray? What happened? Did he leave the gang? No way, my System doesn’t have a gang leave function..."
Zhang Xiaoman was mired in confusion.
The formal member’s name turning gray was a first-time occurrence for him.
Unable to lock onto the target naturally means unable to activate teleportation, Zhang Xiaoman now needed to find another breakthrough.
"Observer, do you have a way to deduce his current location?"
He pinned his hope on the Observer.
This guy’s ability was exceedingly useful, akin to a humanoid radar. Zhang Xiaoman was worrying about finding Ni Yang’s trace, hoping with his help and his Lord of Light passive, they could locate him.
"I’ll give it a try, but the key point’s strength is formidable. If possible, I hope Lord Jixing could further..."
The Observer agreed almost instantly without hesitation, looking at Zhang Xiaoman with a gaze full of anticipation—it was evident what he had in mind.
To this, Zhang Xiaoman had no reason to refuse.
When seeking others’ help, offering some benefits is warranted. With such benefits not costing him anything, it was a trade without investment.
The two left the Future Eye and returned to the Divine Domain—this star system had been utterly shattered in the previous backlash, likely unusable in the future.
The Observer sustained significant injuries, and even with his strength, needed time to recuperate before continuing to exercise his deduction abilities.
Zhang Xiaoman, though anxious, had no choice and offered numerous Immortal Spiritual Medicines from his own pocket to aid in his recovery, hoping he could quickly help locate Ni Yang’s whereabouts.
