Chapter 4268: If I Become a Burden, I Would Rather Die

God Emperor Palace.

Ye Miaoyin transformed into a maid and approached Xu Yihan.

The killing intent radiating from Ye Miaoyin was entirely worn away by invisible Divine Light, used to resist the methods laid down by the God Emperor.

"Why have you come here? Do you not know that this is a Forbidden Land? Are you new here?" Xu Yihan asked softly, her brows furrowed with worry.

"Yes. I heard a noise just now and was worried about you, so…" Ye Miaoyin lowered her head and spoke weakly.

"Hehe… You have a kind heart. Alright, you may return. I wish to be alone for a while. In the future, do not come to this place again." Xu Yihan said softly.

Ever since she was resurrected, the God Emperor had protected Xu Yihan very well. In Xu Yihan's eyes, she lived in a world without danger.

All the dangers and thorns around her had been cleared away by the God Emperor…

Currently, Xu Yihan was only worried about the God Emperor's situation. After all, this was the first time the God Emperor's main body had left.

"Al… Alright." Ye Miaoyin said softly and stepped back, but at the same time, she prepared herself.

Xu Yihan did not notice a thing. The next moment, Divine Light from all directions enveloped the area, and the surroundings plunged into a void of clarity…

It was as if the night had turned into day; besides the vast whiteness, there was no other luster or color in the vicinity…

"This is…"

In an instant, the daylight vanished. Xu Yihan discovered that the maid from just a moment ago was already standing beside her, holding a dagger condensed from Divine Light against her throat.

"Do not move, do not resist, and certainly do not activate the Restriction on your body… My God Emperor can destroy everything, even you!" Ye Miaoyin's voice was cold.

"Are you… one of Xiao Fan's people?" Xu Yihan asked softly.

"That is correct." Ye Miaoyin nodded, but immediately corrected herself: "No… not entirely."

It was the other Soul within Ye Miaoyin's body speaking.

She felt a sense of shame; she had actually admitted to being one of Xiao Fan's people!

Disgraceful!

How disgraceful!

"Hehehe… You are very interesting." Xu Yihan laughed, without a hint of fear: "I have forgotten how many years it has been; this is the first time I have felt this way. Is this the threat of death? The feeling of a heartbeat—it is a pity… it is still not strong enough."

"Your words are very strange… What is your current state?!" Ye Miaoyin asked in a serious tone, suddenly making a shocking discovery: "This is…"

Beneath the powerful Restriction placed by the God Emperor, Xu Yihan's body was actually just an empty shell.

It was an empty shell meant to protect her Divine Soul.

"Hehe… You are quite extraordinary. The Dominator once said that even if a Pseudo-Emperor came, they would not be able to see through everything, yet you managed to do so." Xu Yihan laughed.

"It is only a Divine Soul; the Physical Body is not present…"

"That is correct. My Physical Body was destroyed; only my Divine Soul remains, and it is merely a remnant Soul." Xu Yihan sighed softly.

"Hehe… No wonder. Such a powerful Restriction is, on one hand, to protect you, and on the other, to reinforce your Divine Soul, fearing that you might dissipate at any moment." Ye Miaoyin said coldly.

When Xu Yihan died, her Realm was too low; she had not yet reached the point of condensing a Divine Soul.

It could be said that to resurrect Xu Yihan, the God Emperor had thought of every possible method.

In the end, he used this form to let Xu Yihan stay by his side.

"Hehe… Yes. To protect me—if it were not for me, he would not be so tired…" Xu Yihan sighed softly, finding a sense of familiarity in the beautiful woman before her.

"You… that person intends to verify his name, but in reality, he wants to leave and find a way to completely resurrect you in the lands beyond the domain?!"

"That is correct." Xu Yihan nodded.

"So that is how it is…" Ye Miaoyin whispered.

At the same time, Ye Miaoyin was asking the other Soul if there really was a way to resurrect the dead in the lands beyond the domain?!

"Yes!" The other Soul within Ye Miaoyin gave a definitive answer.

"Are you trying to capture me as a hostage?" Xu Yihan asked with a calm smile.

"Yes." Ye Miaoyin nodded.

"That will not do." Xu Yihan shook her head: "I cannot become a burden to the God Emperor… If I were to become a burden, I would rather die."

"Hehe… Do you think you can escape?" Ye Miaoyin sneered.

"Hehe… I cannot escape, but I can self-destruct." Xu Yihan said softly.

"You… Oh no!"

Ye Miaoyin was greatly alarmed; the other party intended to detonate the Restriction placed on her Divine Soul from within her own body.

If this happened, it would be equivalent to a full-power strike from a True Emperor Realm Strongman.

By that time, let alone the entire God Emperor Palace, even the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain would be severely affected.

Ye Miaoyin's other Soul had calculated that the opponent would use the Restriction to kill enemies, but she had not calculated that the opponent would actually dare to use the Restriction to self-destruct!

"Do not die… Perhaps, there is another way."

Suddenly, Ye Miaoyin's voice became gentle; her own Soul had taken control of the Physical Body.

"Hm? Who are you?"
