Silvery-white flowers drifted all across the sky. Amid the fluttering petals, a graceful figure stood in the air, her form picturesque, an otherworldly air radiating from her.

Mu Zi watched the petals swirling around her, a thoughtful look surfacing in her eyes.

She was not a member of the Luo God Clan, yet she could stir the Luo River's ripples. In truth, this was not an unimaginable accident. It had to do with her comprehension.

Within the Luo River, a special aura was faintly hidden. It had been left behind by the Luo Goddess of the past and held a trace of her bearing.

One of Mu Zi's purposes in coming here had always been to appreciate the Luo Goddess's magnificence. Therefore, when she had the chance to come into close contact with the lingering divine charm the latter had left behind, Mu Zi naturally would not let it pass. From the moment the Luo Goddess Ritual began, she had spread out her perception, experiencing the aura emanating from the Luo River.

Just now, as the sacrificial rites of several women of the Luo God Clan were being performed, the Luo River had become more active than usual, and the bearing that belonged to the Luo Goddess had grown a few shades richer.

The others present had no ability to detect that obscure aura. But within Mu Zi's extraordinary perception, it was like fireflies in a silent night sky, exceptionally clear.

With Mu Zi's comprehension ability, she had gained quite a bit over these few hours. As her understanding deepened, a special aura naturally appeared on her. Perhaps it was precisely that fluctuation that drew a resonance from the Luo Goddess Dharma Body, which was why the scene before them had appeared.

However, Mu Zi looked around near and far, saw one astonished gaze after another, and slightly drew her mind back.

When she looked toward the high platform, the several experts of the Luo God Clan were all dumbstruck. Their expressions as they looked over were rather strange, and there also seemed to be an indescribable meaning within them.

"Are we in the presence of our ancestor?"

An Earthly Sovereign of the imperial family's direct line looked carefully toward Mu Zi and sent a voice transmission.

"."

The others looked at Mu Zi, seemingly with similar questions as well.

Clearly, Mu Zi, who seemed to have come as someone "completely unrelated," had stirred the "Luo Goddess Flower," the symbol of the Luo God Clan's purest bloodline, causing them to murmur inwardly.

Could it be that after tens of thousands of years, their ancestor had returned against the heavens?

Although the person before them did not have the same appearance as their ancestor, her peerless beauty, enough to captivate all living beings, made them involuntarily give rise to certain flights of fancy.

"."

Hearing the Luo God Clan elder's voice transmission and seeing the meaning in their eyes, a ripple could not help but pass through Mu Zi's eyes, and she sighed softly in her heart.

After being mistaken for the Lord of Ice back on the Tianxuan Continent all those years ago, now that she had come to the Great Thousand World, had this kind of laugh-or-cry misunderstanding appeared again?

The large-scale documentary, "I Am Not the Lord of Ice," Part Two, "I Am Not Luo Goddess," was continuing to air for you. (Heavy fog~)

"Everyone of the Luo God Clan,"

Mu Zi remained composed, her calm voice ringing clearly beside their ears.

"I have no connection with your ancestor. This current phenomenon has another cause."

Mu Zi spoke to make things clear. She could not let the people of the Luo God Clan keep misunderstanding, after all. She did not want to somehow gain a bunch of "juniors" out of nowhere either.

After she briefly explained the reason, the several members of the Luo God Clan exchanged glances upon hearing this, then fell into silence.

A moment later, Luo Tian Shen came back to himself and looked at Mu Zi, a ripple flashing through his aged eyes.

"We understand."

No matter who Mu Zi really was, the fact that she had stirred the Luo River could not be false. Since that was the case, the key issue right now was the inheritance that might emerge.

Luo Tian Shen did not hesitate too much. Under the gazes of the Luo God Clan elders, each wearing a different expression, he immediately spoke to Mu Zi:

"Since the ancestor has made a choice, we descendants should naturally honor her will. Honored guest, if you are fated with the inheritance, you may act as you please."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed through Mu Zi's eyes. Luo Tian Shen's action was equivalent to acknowledging the result before them on behalf of the Luo God Clan. It could not be said that he lacked resolve. After all, the Luo Goddess's inheritance was very likely to be obtained by an "outsider."

Of course, Luo Tian Shen perhaps also understood that no matter what Mu Zi's identity was, with her unfathomable strength, the Luo God Clan probably had no right to refuse.

Since that was the case, they might as well go with the flow and do her a favor. At the very least, they could still hope that the other party would look upon that bit of goodwill and give the Luo God Clan some protection.

Mu Zi understood Luo Tian Shen's meaning. She looked at the several people whose gazes were somewhat complicated, her eyes moving slightly as she transmitted her voice:

"I understand the Luo God Clan's goodwill. However."

Then Mu Zi changed direction, and the words she spoke made a trace of surprise flash through the eyes of the several people.

"I will not take away the Luo Goddess Dharma Body. I only wish to comprehend it for a while. I hope you will not take offense."

Although the Luo Goddess Dharma Body was good, Mu Zi had His Own Path and would not choose to accept the Luo Goddess's inheritance. She was only drawing analogies from it to enrich her own foundation.

Moreover, the Luo Goddess's inheritance had been left for her descendants of the Luo God Clan. Even if Mu Zi had need of it, she was unwilling to do something akin to taking advantage of another's peril.

After Mu Zi made her stance clear, Luo Tian Shen and the others each let out a breath of relief. The Luo Goddess Inheritance was the hope and foundation of the Luo God Clan's rise once more. Its importance went without saying. If it could continue to remain within the Luo God Clan, that was naturally for the best.

"Honored guest, please do as you wish."

Luo Tian Shen immediately responded, and the other Earthly Sovereigns of the Luo God Clan followed with their agreement. At the same time, the way they looked at Mu Zi gained yet another kind of respect.

Mu Zi's communication with the Luo God Clan did not take much time. Before many people in the city even noticed, a consensus had already been reached.

Whoosh!

Above the Luo River, Mu Zi reached out with her slender jade hand, and a Luo Goddess Flower lightly landed in her palm.

Immediately, Mu Zi cast her gaze toward the bright water surface below. Her eyes met the dazzling ripples of light. Next, she was going to enter the depths of the Luo River and find out what was there.

Splash!

A wisp of aura bloomed from Mu Zi. The river water below automatically parted to either side, leaving behind a river path that a person could pass through, as if welcoming her arrival.

"Wait for me to come back."

After exchanging a glance with Ling Er, Mu Zi no longer hesitated. With a movement of her body, she shot downward under countless gazes too shaken for words.

Boom!

After her figure vanished from before their eyes, the severed river water flowed once more, and that passage was slowly filled by the water from both sides.

The Luo River gradually calmed, swiftly returning to its original appearance. Only the beautiful Luo Goddess Flowers swayed in the sky, bearing witness to the scene from just now.

Inside and outside the city, everyone looked at the quietly surging river water, and a wave of emotion welled up in their hearts.

What they had seen today had exceeded everyone's expectations, yet it made them unable to help secretly looking forward to what came next.
