"Hahaha!"
But seeing Mira Skylar like this, Ian Song just couldn't hold back his laughter, nearly laughing until he cried.
"You still dare to laugh! If you keep laughing, I'll kill you!"
Transformed into a little loli, Mira Skylar was about to go crazy, wildly attacking Ian Song. But her attacks were nothing to him—more like scratching an itch.
After half an hour, Mira finally stopped her rampage and ran off to the side to squat and cry.
Seeing this, Ian Song stopped laughing too, his expression turning a bit awkward.
Ian walked over, instinctively patting the little loli on the head and gently comforting her: "Alright, don't cry. Honestly, you look pretty cute right now!"
The little loli lifted her tear-streaked face: "Go away! Get lost! I don't want to see you!"
Ian Song pouted, "It's not a big deal. Since I could turn you into a little loli, of course I can turn you back. No need to cry like a baby!"
"Really?"
The little loli stopped crying and looked at Ian Song with hope.
Ian nodded, "Of course it's true. Would I lie to a little girl like you?"
"Jerk! You're the little girl! Your whole family are little girls! I'll fight you!"
The little loli exploded again, grabbing and biting at Ian Song.
"That's enough! If you keep messing around, I'm going to spank you!" Ian pretended to be fierce.
"Waaah, you bully! All you do is pick on me! Jerk! Jerk!"
Watching Mira Skylar burst into tears again, Ian Song was speechless. Had shrinking her body turned her mind into a little girl's too? Why was she so prone to crying?
"Don't cry. I promise I'll find a way to get you back to normal as soon as possible!" Ian reassured her again.
"How long will it take?"
The little loli looked up at him, her big eyes still misty with tears, making her look pitiful.
"I can't guarantee that yet. I still need to do more research!"
"Hmph! If you can't turn me back, I definitely won't let you off!" The little loli waved her tiny fists, threatening Ian Song, but to him she looked more cute than threatening.
He straightened his face: "Next, I'm going to find a way to restore your body and cultivation. Don't bother me unless it's important!"
"Then hurry up!"
"Alright!"
Moving off to the side, Ian Song sat cross-legged again and began studying the pattern in his mind.
The pattern was made up of thousands of strokes, each carrying Heavenly Dao rhythm. If all these strokes were manifested as a formation, it would be a peerless divine array—even a God-Emperor would struggle inside.
To avoid making another mistake, he spent several days carefully studying and copying every stroke.
Only after making sure there were no errors did he stand up and lay down the formation again.
Soon, the formation was complete. Ian activated it with a formation command, and under his Divine Sense, the space inside twisted, entering a state of regression.
It seemed the formation's effect was full regression—cultivation regressed, age regressed, creating reverse growth. From now on, this formation would be called the Reverse Devolution Divine Array.
Instinctively, Ian glanced at Mira Skylar again, only to see her glaring at him warily: "Don't even think about tricking me into testing your formation again!"
"Haha! Relax, I wouldn't do that!"
Ian laughed it off, turning his gaze to the two God-Kings who were still tirelessly bombarding the array. He thought to himself, "Just a flawed Reverse Devolution Divine Array reduced Mira Skylar from peak Upper Heavenly God to Mid-Rank God. Now that it's complete, could it drag a God-King out of the God-King realm?"
With that thought,
A strange smile appeared on his lips as he stepped forward, coming to the spot just behind the first layer of the array.
After several days of bombardment, the array's energy had already been depleted by a tenth.
Apparently, that's why they hadn't stopped attacking.
"You little thief, you'd better come out! Otherwise, once we break your array, we definitely won't let you off!" God-King Nina Shaw shouted loudly.
"Heh!"
Ian Song smiled, then concealed the array and laid down a Reverse Devolution Divine Array just behind the first layer, hiding it well.
Next, he cast a spell, and Nina Shaw, who was bombarding the array, suddenly brightened—she sensed that the spot she was attacking had become much weaker.
Excited, she redoubled her attacks on that spot.
After dozens of strikes, a huge hole was blasted open at that spot.
Ian Song stared in a daze at the scene, then shouted, "Oh no!" and turned to run.
"Where do you think you're going, thief!"
Nina Shaw and Evan Wilder shot through the breach almost simultaneously, charging straight into the Reverse Devolution Divine Array.
"Activate!"
Ian Song called out softly in his heart, and the Reverse Devolution Divine Array began to operate immediately.
"Huh?!"
The two who entered the array cried out in shock—they found their cultivation rapidly draining away, and no matter how they tried to control or seal it, the loss wouldn’t stop.
"This is bad! Break the array, quick!"
Evan Wilder shouted in alarm.
The two of them immediately summoned their God-King artifacts to bombard the formation, but this array contained genuine Heavenly Dao rhythm—how could they break it? After dozens of strikes, not only did they fail to shake the Reverse Devolution Divine Array, but their cultivation actually drained away even faster.
Still, they were God-King-level experts, so compared to Mira Skylar, their cultivation drained much more slowly.
Ian Song wasn’t in a hurry.
He just watched, ready to swap in fresh god-crystals as soon as the array ran low.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
After five full days, the two had only dropped a single minor realm.
Even so, it was enough to frighten them badly.
Their insults turned into pleas, and eventually, they even started trying to flatter Ian Song.
Unfortunately, Ian was not the soft-hearted type. These two had harbored malicious intent toward him—if he weren’t skilled in formations, they would have captured and killed him.
So, he simply ignored them.
Four days later, their cultivation had fallen to early-stage lower God-King.
Seven days later.
Their cultivation finally dropped below God-King, leaving them as Upper Heavenly Gods.
At that point, the two went mad, unleashing a torrent of curses at Ian Song.
At that moment—
Ian Song dispelled the Reverse Devolution Divine Array.
Freed, the two immediately lunged at Ian Song, their eyes filled with venom and hatred.
Too bad!
"Bang! Bang!"
Ian Song swung his palm, sending both of them flying. If they were still God-Kings, they might have put up a fight, but as mere Upper Heavenly Gods, they weren't even qualified to carry his shoes.
"You thief, you'll die a miserable death!"
"King Tuer won't let you off!"
Ignoring their shouting, Ian Song flashed forward, kicked both of them away, and immediately enslaved them with the Puppet Mastery Divine Art.
It worked perfectly.
Both were instantly enslaved. Clearly, the Reverse Devolution Divine Array had even regressed their divine souls—otherwise, a single Puppet Mastery Divine Art would never have subdued them.
