Versatile Mage (Web Novel)-Chapter 3157 Pearl Institute Will Always Be Your Home

After running for miles, Mo Fan and Mu Bai were all sweaty.

Honestly, if Wen Tai had not held back a little, none of the beings there would have survived.

However, kings like him were unpredictable. Wen Tai might be kind to you one moment and have you executed the next.

Wen Tai had many things to deal with, and since Mo Fan had completed his task, he did not need to stick around.

"Wait. Aren't we missing something?" Mu Bai suddenly looked back and saw a huge chunk of land floating upside down in the distance.

Mo Fan slapped his forehead.

Oh, no!

He had forgotten about her!

"Wait for me. I'll get Asha'ruiya back," said Mo Fan.

Mu Bai's expression darkened, and he said seriously, "Didn't you say you came with Old Zhao?"

"Ah!" Mo Fan realized in shock.

While they debated on returning, they spotted a large blue whale glowing faintly on the shattered horizon. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was the wandering Little Green Kraken!

Little Green Kraken was incredibly loyal. Despite all the chaos, it managed to locate Zhao Manyan and bring him back.

Wagging its tail, it skidded on its belly and came to a stop in front of Mu Bai and Mo Fan.

Zhao Manyan looked exhausted. He had either been drained or knocked out by a powerful force. He was sprawled out on Little Green Kraken's back and barely conscious.

"Hey, wake up, wake up." Mo Fan kicked Zhao Manyan a few times.

Zhao Manyan jolted awake and immediately got ready to fight. It was as though he feared that he would lose something precious.

"Bro, thanks for remembering to rescue me. Let's get out of the Dark Plane as soon as possible!" Zhao Manyan was about to lose it.

Mo Fan and Mu Bai were too embarrassed to explain. They only nodded repeatedly to show that they were determined to stick together through anything.

If only Little Green Kraken could talk.

"Look over there." Mu Bai suddenly pointed at a corner in the sky.

It was a mess, with broken lands and mountains floating without gravity. It appeared that the Dark Plane had fallen into disarray because of the fighting.

However, amidst this chaos in the sky, there were huge waves of the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God!

The waves looked like clouds at first, but as they covered the sky above them, it made them feel suffocated.

"We're screwed!" Zhao Manyan yelled.

He still had a lot of life left to live. His dreams of exploring the world had already been cut short in the United Kingdom. There were still so many exotic countries he wanted to visit. How could he end up buried forever in the Dark Plane's Galaxy of the Yin Energy God?

"Mo Fan." Mu Bai gave Mo Fan a hopeful look, but he just shrugged.

Unfortunately, he was out of extraordinary power.

His Demon Element Power was fading, and he was back to being an ordinary Double Elements Mage.

The power of the waves was as strong as a full-force strike from five Water Element Forbidden Mages. Mo Fan had no strength left to resist.

"Who knows where we'll end up." Mu Bai sighed heavily.

He had thought that they could escape, but they were facing yet another disaster.

The trio then glanced at Little Green Kraken. They had no choice but to cling to this "small boat." No matter where they ended up, they had to accept it.

Just as they felt defeated, a figure suddenly emerged from the waves.

This person stood on the crest of the waves and scanned the chaotic land below. Finally, his eyes locked on the three young people on the ground.

He flew toward them on a water sword at a speed that was faster than the roaring waves.

The waves covered thousands of miles, like an additional layer of sky. But despite its vastness, the person flying on the water sword looked grand and towering.

"Dean Xiao!" Mo Fan exclaimed with joy the moment he spotted him.

"Let's go!" Dean Xiao wasted no time. He waved his hand and conjured three identical water swords beneath their feet.

The waves roared and covered them like collapsing mountains.

Dean Xiao's beard fluttered in the wind as he grabbed both ends of the sky and tore it open!

Then, a massive canyon appeared amidst the terrifying waves. It was incredibly deep, and at its lowest point, it revealed the ocean floor in the mortal world!

"The dark ocean trench indeed connects to the Dark Plane. Only Water Element Forbidden Mages can pass through. Follow me!" Dean Xiao looked at the sky canyon and flew toward it on his water sword.

The three other guys followed closely, with Little Green Kraken bringing up the rear.

The waves towered high, like a sky-reaching abyss.

As they soared into the sky, Dean Xiao kept tearing apart the curtain of the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God. His incredible power amazed Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai.

What level had Dean Xiao's Water Element Forbidden Curse reached? It was different from Zhao Manyan's!

With how powerful Dean Xiao was, even if Wen Tai hunted them down, he would not be able to stop Dean Xiao from taking Mo Fan and the others away.

The vast and mighty Galaxy of the Yin Energy God became Dean Xiao's plaything. He could move it in any direction he wanted. At first, it was wild and raging, but it gradually calmed under his control.

"The Dark Plane's aura has grown stronger. What's going on?" Dean Xiao asked.

"Well, it's like this—" Mu Bai started explaining.

"It's like this. We used our wisdom and strength to defeat the eight Dark Kings. But Wen Tai had been hiding his true power. He absorbed the dark energy of the other fallen Dark Kings and became the plane's sole high-ranking emperor. Exhausted, we had to retreat temporarily. Once we've rested and regained our strength, we'll return to the Dark Plane and challenge him again!" Mo Fan said truthfully.

Zhao Manyan had seen Mo Fan fighting the Duke of Shadow.

Unfortunately, after Mo Fan defeated the Duke of Shadow, Zhao Manyan passed out and had no idea what happened next.

He admired Mo Fan's bravery and gave Dean Xiao a look that said, "That's exactly what happened."

Dean Xiao listened but felt that something was off.

Even though he did not know much about the Dark Plane, he knew that the Dark Kings were middle-ranking emperors. Any one of them could challenge the three emperors from the Roof of the World if they came to the mortal world.

Mo Fan took down eight of them in one go?

Perhaps the Dark Plane was only rumored to be terrifying. In reality, it was weak and deteriorating.

"Wen Tai's dictatorship could be good or bad for the mortal world." Dean Xiao did not think this was good news, though.

Even in the mortal world, no good came from wiping out several powerful rulers of forbidden places at once.

The demon empires kept each other in check. Without this balance, there could be no safe areas or civilized cities.

The Ocean Demons were running rampant because the influence of the Antarctic's emperor was weakening.

When the emperor was strong, the Ocean Godly Horde could not act so recklessly.

Similarly, if the Ocean Godly Horde became too weak, the Antarctic's emperor and the desert's emperor might freeze or turn the whole world into a desert. Humans needed diverse environments to live. So, if there was freezing, desertification, or ocean flooding, it would be bad for humans.

This balance also existed on land, among beings of emperor-level, monarch-level, and leader-level. The demon empires, demon tribes, and demon clans were not excluded either.

"Dean Xiao, with eight Dark Kings dead, Black Magic might decline for hundreds of years," Mu Bai reminded.

"Yes. That's because the essence of Black Magic is to serve," Dean Xiao agreed.

"Don't worry. I've mastered advanced dark techniques. I can't speak for other countries, but in our country, Black Magic will definitely flourish," Mo Fan said confidently.

The Bright Blood King was still alive. Even if she gave up her divine status for Wen Tai, it would not affect their collaboration.

After the battle for control of the Dark Plane, Mo Fan realized that the Bright Blood King was the most genuine and reliable ally.

She cared more about preserving Black Magic.

Power and conflict did not interest her at all.

…

Eventually, they broke through the Galaxy of the Yin Energy God.

Although they were moving upward, they ended up at the mortal world's ocean floor.

The cold, dark trench was filled with skeletons. The Dark Plane lay beneath this thick layer of corpses, so it was truly hell!

Dean Xiao finally showed a hint of exhaustion.

Nevertheless, he successfully brought the trio and Little Green Kraken back to the ocean's surface.

While the sky was dark, rays of light shone down onto the sea and formed a beautiful display of light beams. These ordinary beams of light filled Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai with immense joy.

They were seeing daylight again!

This was what it felt like to be alive!

"That person over there is watching us." Mu Bai was sharp, and he immediately noticed a slim figure standing in the distance.

The light from the clouds illuminated the mysterious figure. They could not see her face, only her silhouette, which looked alluring and mysterious.

"It's… Ding Yumian," Zhao Manyan softly said.

For some reason, he felt immense pressure from his former classmate.

It was hard to say if the soul inhabiting the body really belonged to Ding Yumian. After all, the disaster brought by the sea's Undead occurred at the city's riverbank.

"Child, you don't have to stay trapped underwater. You can return to where you belong. Pearl Institute will always be your home," Dean Xiao encouraged the figure.

"Pearl Institute will always be your home." These words seemed to touch the lifeless figure.

The light in her eyes made her look like a simple and pure young girl.

She just looked at Mo Fan, Dean Xiao, and Zhao Manyan.

After a while, the figure, who resembled Ding Yumian, spoke, "I know, and this is my decision."

After that, the figure dove into the ocean depths like a mermaid. She embraced the endless darkness and cold despair of the ocean floor.

Ding Yumian vanished, and it seemed like she would never appear again.

Mo Fan knew that Ding Yumian had chosen to be alone forever, but she would always keep hope alive in her heart.

She was confronting the Undead in her own way.

She was protecting the city, the academy, and the home she deeply cherished in her own way.
