Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Chapter 668 - 571: Law of Four Seasons Trap

"From now on, you are the slaves of the New World. I will enhance your power, but you must recruit more evil cultivators from the cosmos!"

"We can leave the New World!"

"Of course, but if you betray me, you will end up soul-scattering. I believe you have all noticed the mysterious pattern on your wrists; that’s my curse on you, the price you must pay!"

"I think bowing to a pretty boy like you is ridiculous!" Just as one cultivator finished speaking, his body began to burn, and his screams echoed throughout the New World. In just over ten seconds, he was scattered soul and spirit, leaving other cultivators shivering involuntarily.

They knew they were scum, villains who never feared before, but now they understood that everyone feels fear, especially when facing a demon.

The breeze blew, and when everyone woke up, the protagonist had long disappeared, already heading to the next Evil World!

Recently, Zhao Yi was in a good mood.

Reports from the front came in; Zuo Xiaoluo had successfully conquered thirty more Law Realms. The expansion of the New World’s territory sped up once again, and as the power of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal grew, its stealth ability also increased. Previously, it was predicted that they would be discovered by the Divine Tree in two years, but now it extended to two and a half years.

Feeling good, Zhao Yi decided to go for a walk. After leaving the Capital City, he flew three thousand miles and arrived at a high mountain.

At this time, it was spring in the New World, and the revival of all things put Zhao Yi in an exceptionally good mood.

"Master, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you this happy."

"Things have settled down for now, and it’s the spring season, so naturally, I’m in a good mood."

Zhao Yi said, stretching lazily.

Just then, Zhao Yi suddenly noticed an old man in colorful clothing walking toward him from a distance. Zhao Yi was taken aback, realizing this was not an ordinary cultivator, but someone with the Power of Laws! He had not sensed the other person, and Zhao Yi instantly became wary.

"May I ask if you are Zhao Yi?" The old man appeared very kind, already smiling before speaking.

"Yes, may I know who you are? You are definitely not a resident of our New World."

"Good eye, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Law of Four Seasons."

"Law of Four Seasons? Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter? What are you doing here? Lust?"

Zhao Yi’s ignorant words made the Nine Dragon Jade Seal burst into laughter.

"As the ruler of the New World, there’s no need for such jokes. I’m here to ask if you accept the Four Seasons of the New World."

At this moment, the old man was no longer as amiable as before; instead, his tone was filled with some aggression.

Zhao Yi didn’t like this attitude, but the other’s intention was still unclear, so he wouldn’t fall out yet.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying if I don’t accept, my New World will face destruction?"

"The Four Seasons represent the time and the operation of spiritual energy in a world. With the Four Seasons, the world has vitality; without them, it becomes lifeless."

"I want to know, if I accept the Four Seasons, what price do I have to pay?"

By now, Zhao Yi understood that the Four Seasons represented the birth and death cycle of spiritual energy in the New World, including all things.

"There’s no downside, only benefits. Of course, with an additional Law Realm accepting the Four Seasons Rule, I gain extra power, that’s all."

The old man’s face returned to a smile, although it couldn’t completely hide the tension.

Yet Zhao Yi caught a subtle nuance from these seemingly unimportant words.

"I refuse!"

"Master, refusing the Four Seasons has severe consequences. It’s better to agree!"

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal anxiously reminded Zhao Yi,

knowing that his master hated being restrained, especially in this manner, but now wasn’t the time for stubbornness.

"Do you really want to refuse?" The old man couldn’t believe his ears, but a second inquiry received the same answer.

"I refuse!"

Swoosh!

As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, the surrounding trees began to grow wildly, turning into towering trees and continuing to grow.

"This is what happens when spring loses its constraints. I’m just giving you a demonstration; once I’m no longer here to restrain it, the entire New World will be engulfed in a sea of plants!"

The old man started threatening Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi simply raised his middle finger in response.

"Old geezer, you think you can create a Spiritual Qi Operation Law, but I can’t? Why should I call it Four Seasons? This is my world, and if I’m happy, I’ll call it Two Seasons!"

"I absolutely won’t let you govern the spiritual energy of the New World. By then, everyone’s life will be in your hands!"

Zhao Yi sneered at the old man.

It was then that the Nine Dragon Jade Seal realized it had been mistaken all along.

Yes! Once people adapted to the operation of the Four Seasons, any disorder or abnormality would cause the spiritual energy within cultivators to become unstable, leading to a loss of power at best, or possibly death!

"Master! You are truly wise and formidable! I really admire you!"

The Nine Dragon Jade Seal showered Zhao Yi with compliments.

"Since you refuse me, don’t blame me for being rude!"

The old man waved his arms, and the surrounding trees suddenly launched an attack on Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi stood still, untouched, as those branches gradually shrank and finally disappeared.

Seeing this, the old man was unwilling and waved his arms again, commanding the trees to attack Zhao Yi once more.

Some roots beneath the ground quietly approached Zhao Yi, preparing a sneak attack.

The old man had expected success this time, but whether above ground or below, it failed once more.

"You seem to have forgotten this is the New World, where I am the ruler, and you also forgot the Laws I possess."

As Zhao Yi’s voice fell.

The surrounding trees turned to attack the old man, whose face suddenly changed.

He initially thought everything was under control, yet in the blink of an eye, he lost control. Those trees immediately bound the old man.

However, the old man did not resist; he merely looked at Zhao Yi with a calm demeanor as he gradually disappeared.

"You’re strong, but one day, you’ll regret this."

After the old man completely disappeared.

The trees returned to their original state under the Time Law.

"Master, how do you plan to manage the seasonal operation here next?"

"For now, leave it as it is. The New World’s spiritual energy is still rising, and the stagnation the old man spoke of has not yet occurred."

Zhao Yi knew that the spiritual energy would eventually reach a stagnation point.

Then the spirit energy would die, and everything in the New World would wither.

And he didn’t have much time.

But he believed he could resolve it before the stagnation occurred.

Seeing Zhao Yi’s calm confidence, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal stopped discussing the Four Seasons issue in the New World.

And Zhao Yi looked at the distant scenery, speechless for a long time.

For him, the issue of the Four Seasons was a minor concern; the real unease lay in the positioning of the New World.

He had the persistent feeling that the New World had already been exposed or was on the verge of exposure.
