A Refugee from the Divine Land

Killing himself has been Rovi's's ultimate goal all along, and it is only natural that he now uses it as a training ground for his swordsmanship.

He truly wished that this sword could be used to kill himself...

Of course, this process cannot be accomplished overnight. Just as the Age of Gods has not completely faded away, the East Sea is vast and thousands of miles deep. Even if it is presented in the original form of Rovi, it is impossible to completely purify it in an instant.

Setting off at sunrise and continuing until sunset, Rovi returned to the Fusang Tree, riding on the light of his sword.

The vast expanse of oak trees swayed gently, appearing especially quiet after nightfall, yet still radiating a faint oak glow.

That is the manifestation of the Sun Concept.

Rovi flicked his sleeve and glanced behind him. "We're here... huh?"

The response he received was not Yu Ji 'Yu Ji voice, which was either irritable or feigned disdain, but a gentle touch.

With her hands hanging down on either side of him, the girl leaned against his back, her soft, flowing hair cascading down her face, her countenance serene and beautiful.

Yu Ji is asleep.

Rovi paused, looked down at the delicate features that showed a serene appearance, and raised an eyebrow.

So she can actually show such a calm and composed expression?

Even though Rovi had suppressed and eliminated the negative emotions in her heart, this stubborn Star Spirit still insisted on showing a headstrong, girlish demeanor...

"If she's asleep, then she's asleep!" Rovi turned around, wrapped his arms around Yu Ji's slender waist, supported her full thighs with his other hand, lifted her up, and then leaped down from the sword light, landing lightly on the ground.

The light on the Pure Yang Sword shifted, transforming into a humming sword body that hung down, its sharpness becoming even more intense, and it also possessed a more gentle warmth than before.

Its blade continued to hum, displaying a spiritual quality as if it were expressing its joy to Rovi.

"Go up to the tree and wait for the sunrise!" Rovi smiled, and as he spoke, the Pure Yang Sword suddenly shot into the sky, hovering there to await the sunrise.

Rovi then laid the sleeping Yu Ji down, wrapped her in her long robe, and sat cross-legged beside her, gazing at the vast sea, silently calculating how long it would take to completely purify this area.

Finally, a conclusion was reached.

It should be completed in a few days.

"Once the purification is complete, I will be able to officially set foot on the Divine Land." Rovi closed his eyes, feeling the sea breeze blowing in, his robes fluttering silently...

The next day, as the sun rose, Yu Ji groggily opened her eyes and was greeted by the dazzling sun.

"So... bright..." Yu Ji rubbed her eyes, shook her head, and supported herself slightly with her hands on the ground to get up.

Her beautiful curves appeared quite pure in the sunlight, and the girlish Star Spirit swayed, creating a ripple effect. Her body, covered only by a small inch, revealed a beauty as alluring as the morning sun.

She hadn't slept so peacefully in a long time. Her mind was still a little foggy. She swayed as she got up, but didn't notice Luo Rovi next to her, and tripped over him.

"Hmm—?" His mind cleared instantly, and his body, already tilted to one side, began to fall uncontrollably.

Yu Ji subconsciously reached out and pressed down on Rovi's's shoulder.

Rovi fell backward to the ground, opened his eyes, and looked at the person who had inexplicably pressed down on him.

Black hair concealed a bewildered face, and her ruby-red eyes still showed shock. The girl pressed her hands against his body, slightly supporting her upper body, while her lower body pressed against Rovi's's legs, her thighs swaying and overflowing.

As the morning sun shone brightly, it was the most energetic time of day... Yu Ji felt the presence before her and couldn't help but catch her breath.

It was at that very moment that she seemed to have thought of something...

"Hmm? Are you surprised?" Yu Ji tossed her long hair, licked her moist, crimson lips, and slightly stuck out her pink tongue, looking extremely alluring.

He even deliberately swayed and rubbed his body from side to side.

It failed before.

Right now, she's just woken up and is completely confused. Rovi must be in a similar state, right?

I have to see him make a fool of himself...

"Guo Xin." After a moment of silence, Rovi finally spoke, "You've gone mad, Guo Xin."

Yu Ji's expression stiffened slightly.

Why, not again?

"And you're not quite there yet to embarrass me like this." A voice came from the side, and the robe that had been pressing down on Yu Ji instantly transformed into a single garment. Rovi sat quietly to one side, grinding her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

Rovi tried to dodge, but Yu Ji couldn't stop him.

"That wretched guy, that clueless bastard—" Actually, Yu Ji didn't realize that their way of getting along seemed to be getting stranger and stranger.

Rovi yawned and swayed as he got up. "It's time to be fully awake."

"Hmph, I've always been perfectly sober!" Yu Ji turned her head away, her face showing disdain. "The only one who's been sober is you."

If I weren't truly sober, you wouldn't be in such good shape now... Ultimately, Rovi isn't some heartless, desireless saint.

The reason he was able to suppress it was entirely due to the supreme god's control over his human body.

As for why he wanted to control Lu... Rovi glanced sideways at the sky.

They probably aren't watching, right?

A buzzing sound descended from the sky, and a dazzling red light hung down like a rainbow bridge.

The Pure Yang Sword appeared before Rovi's, its sharp, clear, and resonant sound ringing out.

"Your sword seems to have become more sentient?" Yu Ji looked over with some curiosity.

Rovi reached out and grasped the sword hilt, then slid it back into its sheath. "The Pure Yang Sword condensed the cycle of the Three Waters yesterday to obtain a new mechanism program... Hmm, on this land, it should be called a new 'spiritual power,' having absorbed the spiritual power of the ocean to grow."

"Should we continue this day?" Yu Ji asked instinctively.

Even she herself didn't realize that there was a hint of longing in her words.

It's time to continue being a child.

Purifying the East China Sea as soon as possible would also benefit Rovi.

But before that...

Rovi looked at the sea. "Someone's coming."

Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, then followed Rovi's's gaze and indeed saw the person.

A man, clinging to a log, floated on the sea, his clothes tattered, looking rather disheveled and pale in the sunlight.

They drifted on the sea, but their faces showed no surprise or panic.

It seems as if it was deliberately washed here by the sea.

It seems like it was for... seeking refuge?

What kind of disaster would require someone to jump into the sea to escape it?

Rovi was puzzled, and Yu Ji, unusually, did not show any impatience towards the suddenly appearing people, because she suddenly remembered what Rovi had said: the people who truly represent humanity are the people at the bottom, people who are just trying to survive.

The group of people in front of me seem to be just like that?

"I'll go take a look..."

"I'll go too." After saying this, Yu Ji paused for a moment, and noticing Rovi's gaze, she couldn't help but add, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not just concerned about them..."

I only wanted to go see it because of you.

"Whatever you want!" Rovi had no reason to refuse.

Yu Ji wrapped her robe around herself, and her rather revealing attire instantly transformed into a wide, black, ancient-style robe. Her long, flowing hair and jade-like red eyes gave her an even more ethereal, otherworldly feel.

"Move!" Yu Ji extended her hand to Rovi with a smile, "Mr. Rovi?"

A flash of sword light appeared, and before they even got close, a sound reached their ears...

"They've all gone mad! They've all gone mad!"

"Shouldn't we be safe here?"

"Why did it turn out like this..."

Where should we go?

Fear, anxiety, worry... all sorts of emotions intertwined in the air. Rovi could feel the 'chaos' within his body absorbing and circulating, and through its operating mechanism, he could also see into the hearts of this group of people.

Rovi glanced at Yu Ji, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Perhaps because numerous primordial supreme gods once manifested in China, and even beings higher than the supreme gods lingered there, Rovi, residing in the East Sea, could not directly observe the situation on the Divine Land. Only when people called his divine name could Rovi pay attention. Therefore, at this moment, he could only inquire in person.

The sword light paused briefly, Rovi summoned Kun Fish from the deep sea. The man floating on the sea looked up at the sky, still lamenting, but in the next second, he suddenly found that the seawater beneath him was flowing rapidly.

Something floated up and lifted them up as well.

The Kun Fish is an enormous mythical creature. It only needs to rise to the surface a tiny fraction of itself to carry everyone on its back, like a suddenly appearing island.

"Has the Sea God appeared to us?"

"May the Sea God protect you, may the Sea God protect you..."

"..."

A feeling of having survived a catastrophe and seized a chance to live welled up in my heart.

"Tell me what happened." A gentle sea breeze caressed their faces, and a voice reached their ears.

It really is the Sea God manifesting!?

Everyone was both surprised and delighted.

Faced with the Sea God's question, they dared not hide anything and told him the truth one by one.

"We all come from the Chu Land, and we don't really know what happened. It's just that since yesterday, many people have seemed to have gone mad..."

"My wife, my father, my mother, they get angry at everyone they see, they beat everyone they see..."

"It's not just us; even the local nobles and the army have started fighting amongst themselves... Countless wild beasts have gathered into a torrent, recklessly ravaging the villages. We are among the few who can remain conscious; we can only flee, flee..."

"Escaping the village was useless, leaving the town was useless, so we all fled to the sea..."

"We dared not turn back, but we could hear constant babbling."

"He is speaking of 'the One'."

"They kept saying 'Taiyi'... I know that it is the supreme god worshipped by our Chu Land ancestors."

"I can't help but wonder, maybe Taiichi has gone mad too!?"

"But that's impossible, I don't believe it..."

A sense of sorrow filled the air once more, and as he listened to their words, Rovi also showed a pensive expression.

Taiyi knew that the supreme god of Chu Land was also a Creator God.

The Book of Taiyi states: Taiyi generates water, and water, in turn, assists Taiyi, thus forming the heavens. The heavens, in turn, assist Taiyi, thus forming the earth.

Taiyi is the manifestation of the concept of gestation and creation of heaven and earth.

It is also one of the dozen or so original beings that exist in the land of China.

But why did it turn out like this?

Rovi looked at Yu Ji, who was most likely to know the truth, with an inquiring gaze. Yu Ji pondered for a moment before slightly tiptoeing.

"Why don't you use a similar telepathic technique...?" Although he knew this might be some kind of secret, Rovi couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still bent down.

The young girl's crimson lips brushed past her ear as she softly said, "I don't know."

Rovi: "..."

That was hasty.

It is actually the best answer in the legend.

So Yu Ji smiled, her red lips curving upwards, looking especially happy.

I finally got my hands on that guy!

"Although I don't know for sure, I do know that back then, it seems that in order to fight against madness and to further transcend, many Immortals and Gods and immortals were actually involved with the evil gods from beyond the heavens." Yu Ji's mood suddenly improved. "It seems that they all had a mad side deep in their divinity. The fact that all the gods and immortals disappeared in the Investiture of the Gods War is also suspected to be related to this."

"I didn't experience it myself back then; I was just an observer, so my knowledge is limited..."

Is divinity insane?

Rovi glanced again at the group of people prostrate on the ground, weeping and pleading.

Seeing Rovi's reaction, Yu Ji, as if possessed, blurted out, "Never mind them..."

As long as we live our own lives well, that's enough.

That's what she meant.

But then she suddenly realized that she had only known this person for two days, and she suddenly fell silent.

But the words I uttered were truly sincere.

Rovi is strong; he is the supreme god, the manifestation of the primordial order.

But if that really is the original Taiichi, then he is also a supreme god.

Moreover, their status is absolutely above that of Donghua!

Yu Ji did not want Rovi to get involved.

"Unfortunately, He came specifically for me." Taiyi is an ancient Sun God, Emperor Dong Hua is a born Sun God. As a god, Rovi could clearly feel a strong hostility when he read the name Taiyi.

He did indeed come for himself.

He was saying things that sounded like he was helpless, but Rovi's's face was full of eagerness!

The chance to be remembered in history and die without ever being remembered is here!

It's okay if we fail.

Crazy Taiichi, he must be able to provide him with enough 'negativity' and 'malice', right?

One thing brings immense benefit.

and...

"I have said that I hope the sun I hold will fall upon them."

Just by looking at the few people standing at his feet, Rovi could imagine the extent of the chaos that had engulfed the Divine Land and the Chu Land.

He wanted to save them.

Because he has the ability and the need.

God,

I shall protect all people.

Yu Ji remained silent for a moment before smiling, "Then there's no other way... I'll reluctantly accompany you on this trip!"

"I know somewhere Taiichi might be. I can help you..."

I still want to be with you.

I am the only 'human' in this world.

In the girl's crimson eyes, there was nothing but earnestness.

Having lived for so long, lost in the vast expanse of time, this pure Star Spirit has finally found something she wants to grasp.

Even if we only spent two days together, this feeling has nothing to do with time.
