The Cosmic Age: Subverting the Universe

Yun Yun went on to announce, "As the sect leader, I cannot escape the blame for such a tragic incident. I voluntarily give up the position of sect leader and let Nalan Yanran take over. This decision will take effect immediately." Although her voice was calm, it revealed a firm determination.

As she spoke, she took out the key to the secret realm of the Yun Lan Sect and the Wind-Severing Shadow Sword, which symbolized the status of the Yun Lan Sect. These two items were the most precious treasures of the Yun Lan Sect, representing the power and status of the sect master.

"Nalan Yanran, come forward!" Yun Yun shouted, her voice full of majesty.

Under the gaze of the disciples, Nalan Yanran stepped forward. She bent down to take the sect master's token from Yun Yun's hand, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

After Nalan Yanran took the token, she raised the Wind-Slaying Shadow Sword towards the disciples below the stage.

Upon seeing this, all the disciples shouted in unison: "Congratulations, Sect Master Nalan has succeeded to the throne!" Their voices were uniform and loud, full of respect and blessings for Nalan Yanran.

Su Che looked at Nalan Yanran who was holding up the sword, and said to himself: "The three-year agreement will soon be here, Sect Master Nalan, I look forward to your performance." He knew very well that Nalan Yanran was shouldering the future of the Yunlan Sect, and he also understood the importance of this agreement to Nalan Yanran.

However, he then asked himself in his mind: "I have done everything I can think of, why hasn't the Heart of Yunlan been announced yet?" He was confused and puzzled by this, as he had clearly tried his best to do everything he should do.

Xiao Bei's voice rang out in Su Che's mind: "The future is still full of uncertainties. For example, if Sect Master Nalan loses the three-year agreement, the reputation of the Yunlan Sect will be low. Without the support of high-end combat power like Yunshan, I'm afraid that before Xiao Yan can go to the Yunlan Sect for the second time, it will have been swallowed up by other forces."

Su Che was annoyed and complained dissatisfiedly: "I have done everything I thought of, why doesn't it work?" He frowned, obviously confused and helpless about the current situation.

Xiao Bei teased, "Do you think that when Xiao Yan defeated Yun Shan in Yun Lan Sect for the second time, the disbandment of Yun Lan Sect was caused by just one thing he said?"

Su Che asked suspiciously: "What else?"

Xiao Bei explained: "Xiao Yan's decision to disband the Yun Lan Sect only accelerated the process. But it was not the real reason for the disbandment of the Yun Lan Sect. In fact, Yun Shan was an illegal traverser, and his existence would inevitably be cleared by the dimensional world. This is unavoidable."

Su Che listened and nodded thoughtfully. He began to understand that the dissolution of Yunlan Sect was not caused by a single factor, but the result of multiple factors intertwined.

Xiao Bei continued, "The mission of the World Heart is one of the most difficult missions. Do you think it is so easy to complete? Just like you want to obtain the Heart of the Flame Emperor, you have to cultivate Xiao Yan little by little since he was young, go through countless hardships in the middle, and finally create the Endless Fire Region. There can be no mistakes in any of the links."

Su Che gradually understood the difficulty of the task. Compared with the difficult journey of obtaining the Heart of the Flame Emperor, the task of obtaining the Heart of the Cloud Mist seemed much simpler, but in fact it was also full of challenges. He knew that as long as he could ensure that the Cloud Mist Sect would not disband in three years, then the task would be half completed.

Thinking of this, Su Che's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a new goal. He thought to himself: "The next goal is to let Nalan Yanran protect the Xiao family. Since Xiao Zhan was captured by the Soul Palace in the original world, then in the absence of the Yunlan Sect, the Soul Palace will definitely take action personally. If Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan can be reconciled, with the protection of the protagonist, the Yunlan Sect should not collapse."

However, Xiao Bei immediately objected: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Although the two have similarities and their eyes reveal an unyielding spirit, the seeds of hatred have already been planted. It's good enough that they can become cooperative friends. In addition, even if Xiao Yan becomes the sect master now, with his current influence, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to save the Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Bei's words made Su Che fall into deep thought. He realized that he might be too optimistic. The hatred between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan could not be easily resolved, and Xiao Yan's current influence was indeed limited. If he wanted to truly preserve the Yunlan Sect, he would need a more careful plan and stronger strength.

Xiao Bei continued, "Yun Yun, even though she said she wanted to forget Yun Lan Zong, with her personality and sense of responsibility, she would definitely help Nalan Yanran when she was in danger."

"Yun Yun has deep feelings for Yun Lan Sect. Even if she wants to give up, it is difficult for her to do so easily. Therefore, we cannot ignore the role she may play at a critical moment."

"As a first-class force in the Jia Ma Empire, the Nalan family has a good relationship with the royal family and the Alchemist Guild. This relationship may become an important force for us to save the Yun Lan Sect at a critical moment. With the support of the Nalan family and Yun Yun's secret help, there is still hope that the Yun Lan Sect will survive within three years."

A gleam of light flashed in Su Che's eyes. Xiao Bei's words gave him a new idea. The existence of Yun Yun and the Nalan family might be the key to his preservation of the Yunlan Sect.

Xiaobei finally said, "It depends on your own choice as to what to do. I can't help you. Everything depends on your own planning and striving."

Su Che couldn't help but say, "Isn't it just about reputation? In the three-year agreement, Nalan Yanran cannot lose, and Xiao Yan cannot lose either. The two must end up in a draw." A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

Qin Luoluo, who was standing next to him, heard Su Che's words and laughed, "You should have snatched Xiao Yan's strange fire back then. Now you're having a headache, right?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, and she was obviously laughing at Su Che.

Su Che nodded seriously and said, "Oh, right, go grab Xiao Yan's Strange Fire. Return it to him after the three-year agreement is over."

Qin Luoluo felt that her brain was not enough. She stared at Su Che with wide eyes and exclaimed: "I snatched it first and then gave it back to you after you finish fighting? This operation is too devilish!" She really couldn't understand Su Che's train of thought.

Su Che smiled slightly and explained: "Only in this way can the strength of the two be balanced."

Su Che pulled Qin Luoluo over and whispered, "It's settled. Let's take action tonight." Although their voices were soft.

But Dou Huang Yun Yun was still able to hear it. Yun Yun caught a glimpse of the two people discussing something behind their backs. She was curious and walked over to ask, "What are you discussing?"

Su Che was a little embarrassed by Yun Yun's sudden question. He touched his nose and said with a smile, "We plan to borrow Xiao Yan's Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire for safekeeping for a few days." He tried to make it sound light-hearted, but he was actually prepared to deal with Yun Yun's doubts in his heart.
