"You know us?"

Upon hearing Zurvan's words, both Bai Ye and Guizhong showed expressions of surprise.

"Of course, after all, you two aren't hiding your identities; a little inquiry will reveal the truth. Besides..."

Zurvan then flew to the identity of Bai Ye and deliberately made a sniffing motion. After doing so, Zurvan continued, "From Bai Ye, I can sense the auras of the Flower Goddess, the Scarlet King, and the Dendro Archon."

"Yes."

Bai Ye nodded, and then deliberately revealed the aura of the three gods on his body.

Previously, she had sensed something, but now she truly felt the aura emanating from the Flower Goddess, and Zurvan's expression showed visible excitement.

These Fleur Fair were all born from the Flower Goddess and the previous Hydro Archon Egeria, and naturally they were extremely affectionate towards the Flower Goddess.

I felt a joyful happiness from the depths of my soul.

"Hmph, what do you think? My master is not only handsome, but his temperament is also unparalleled."

Rupal then chuckled and said, "Yu."

"Yes, Bai Ye is indeed very admirable."

Zurvan nodded in agreement.

Then it continued to ask, "I wonder what you intend to do here? I can provide you with anything you need."

"I want to see the body of the previous Hydro Archon."

Bai Ye immediately stated her purpose.

Zurvan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"...good."

Bai Ye was very happy.

Things are going so smoothly here, that couldn't be better.

By obtaining the body of the previous Hydro Archon Egeria, Bai Ye can gain her power.

"Is there anything else you need, Bai Ye?"

"No, that's all. And, there's more... Could you please stop calling me 'sir'? I don't really like that."

Bai Ye shook his head and said to Zurvan.

"I understand, Bai Ye."

"Um."

At this moment, Bai Ye remembered the Illusion of True Burning in the sky and asked Zurvan about the intensity of the Illusion of True Burning.

Although the power emanating from the Abyss was vast, it was not strong enough to be resisted by the power of the Bai Ye.

After all, even the divine bird 'Simurgh' could do this back then, and now Bai Ye's power is already at the god level. If he activates the 'True God Mode' mode, then he will have the power of two Gods.

At that moment, Srosh, who had flown over earlier, flew back again.

What are you doing?

It tilted its head and asked.

Zurvan looked at Bai Ye, seemingly asking if Bai Ye wanted to tell him about himself.

Bai Ye gave her a disapproving look.

He said to Srosh, "It's nothing, Srosh. We are just shocked by the settlement of the Fleur Fair."

"Haha, yes, your eyesight is quite good. After we resolve the True Burning Celestial Phenomenon, do Fleur Fair two want to live and reproduce here? Although no humans have ever lived here before, I feel you are very different; you are very pure..."

At this point, Srosh shook her head again.

"No, no, you all have your own missions. Just like us, you have missions to do. We cannot leave you here."

"Let's get back to our mission and deal with this True Burning Celestial Phenomenon as soon as possible."

"Good."

Bai Ye smiled and nodded.

They didn't rest for long and then set off.

The one whom Asmodeus and Rupal had previously identified as having problems Naxianzhuna, also came along.

The three people and one bird began preparing for the ceremony.

It seemed that Naxianzhuna was somewhat worried about Bai Ye, and while they were at the same time, he kept testing Bai Ye's strength and abilities.

He was a cunning old fox; every word he uttered, seemingly casual and unintentional, was actually full of profound meaning.

If it were just Bai Ye alone, he might actually fall into the trap.

However, there are still many Gods inside Bai Ye's body.

As for how to answer Naxianzhuna, Bai Ye directly gave it to Makoto.

The casual conversation along the way dispelled Naxianzhuna's wariness, and she genuinely believed that Bai Ye was a lucky and adventurous young man.

This reassured him even more.

It will be much easier to scheme against them then.

Of course, when preparing the mechanisms for the ceremony later, Naxianzhuna was almost speechless because of Bai Ye's 'good luck'.

Why,

As long as Bai Ye is near the mechanisms, he can 'just right' solve them.

The group passed through all the rituals smoothly.

"Is that all? Now all that's left is the final ceremony?"

Srosh was speechless as she watched the almost completed ceremony.

No, shouldn't this be an exhilarating adventure? Why does it feel like I'm done for as soon as I arrive?

Bai Ye laughed and teased, "That just proves we're lucky! But the last level will be incredibly difficult, Srosh, you'd better be careful."

"Really? Don't scare me!"

Srosh tensed up for a moment.

At this moment, the Naxianzhuna who had been silently following finally spoke.

"Lady Srosh, are you afraid!? Perfect, I'll help you get rid of these fears."

"Huh? You?"

Srosh looked at Naxianzhuna with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, to help you get rid of these things."

Naxianzhuna produced a weapon.

"You're actually an enemy."

Srosh said to Naxianzhuna.

"Yes, I am the enemy."

Naxianzhuna nodded and raised the curved sword in his hand.

At the same time, Bai Ye clearly felt the Abyss energy in the surrounding environment constantly increasing.

It seems that Naxianzhuna is the one who summoned the Abyss Order!

She thought of him in the Bai Ye.

Glancing at Srosh, Bai Ye said to her, "You go ahead and prepare the ritual, I'll deal with them here."

"You?"

Srosh was somewhat incredulous.

"It's okay, I'm pretty good at fighting."

Bai Ye cracked his knuckles and then said to Srosh.

At the same time, Srosh saw that Guizhong, who was standing next to Bai Ye, took out a whole bunch of mechanisms.

Good heavens!

It was startled.

When was this taken out?

The situation before him suggested that it was no longer his turn to intervene.

Oh, I don't have the ability to do that myself.

"Then, I'll go ahead and carry out my mission."

Srosh said something and then flew into the air.

Seeing that it was about to fly away, Naxianzhuna immediately said, "People of the Abyss Order, please capture that guy from the Fleur Fair Clan."

"Good."

A teleportation array appeared, and a dark figure appeared beside Naxianzhuna.

It is an Abyss of the abyss.

He raised his palm, intending to chase after Srosh, who had already flown far away.

Then, Abyss Chant looked down and saw Bai Ye not far from him.

The Bai Ye looked somewhat familiar.

It seems like he once fought alongside Kong.

"Yes, it's you!"

The Abyss Chant's arms trembled incessantly.

"It's me!"

"Bai Ye said with a smile," said Ye.

At this moment, Naxianzhuna's expression was clearly off.

Judging from the looks of it, it seems that Abyss Order is afraid of this guy named Bai Ye.

He swallowed hard.

"Sir, shall we call a few more people?"

The Abyssal Herald glanced at that Naxianzhuna.

Then, she asked him a question in a very sincere tone.

"Are you in cahoots with that Bai Ye?"

Are you deliberately trying to bait us and undermine our Abyss Order?

"Ah!?"

Naxianzhuna dumbfounded.

Then, he discovered that the Abyss Abyssal Herald's next actions were even more beyond his imagination.

The Abyssal Herald looked at the Bai Ye and came down with a vicious stab.

"I will not tell you any information about our Abyss Order!"

As he said this, he immediately swung his weapon at himself.

Pfft

He died.

"Suicide?"

Naxianzhuna had been bound by Guizhong's Art of Automata, didn't even realize what was happening.

He really couldn't believe that such a bizarre situation could have happened.

The members of the Abyss Order, on whom they had placed such high hopes, lacked even the courage to fight back and instead committed suicide.

Although he had many plans and was a cunning and treacherous fellow, he was just like the Tanit Babel that Bai Ye had encountered before. They both lacked experience and information, so no matter how many plans they had, they were all in vain.

The Bai Ye episode ended successfully.

Then, he glanced at Srosh, who was currently purifying the illusion of the Burning True Form.

She was currently facing a lot of trouble.

During the purification process, many Abyss monsters appeared and attacked little Srosh.

Although it managed to dodge many attacks thanks to its agile body, the Entombed Beast Hound could also fly, so Srosh's advantage wasn't actually that great. After several struggles, it was already in grave danger.

Sudden,

As it was flying, an Entombed Beast Hound appeared in front of it.

Srosh crashed into it hard.

Srosh felt her head spinning, and she was about to lose consciousness.

No, I must fulfill my own mission.

It is still flying in the sky.

But the next second everything went black, and it completely lost consciousness.

Before it fainted, it felt itself falling into a very warm embrace.

Bai Ye caught Srosh in time, and at the same time, looking at the Entombed Beast Hound, he raised his hand and waved it, carrying his own aura and wind essence as he rushed towards them.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Entombed Beast Hound were completely annihilated, only managing a few screams.

Bai Ye came down beneath that burning heaven illusion.

This is the opening of the Abyss, from which Abyss energy flows out and pours out in all directions.

Previously, 'Simurgh' sacrificed himself, but now that Bai Ye has come here, it's not so troublesome.

He first handed Srosh to Guizhong, then took out the Heavenly Principles' Sword.

The optimal time for regulating one's breath within the body is during this period.

"Cut!"

He said it softly.

The sword light slashed lightly, cutting through all the surrounding darkness.

After that,

Bai Ye once again twirled his sword and thrust it across the Abyss in the abyss.

The pure aura flowed, completely sealing away the gushing darkness from the Abyss.

The illusion of burning truth has disappeared.

Bai Ye and Guizhong brought Srosh back to the surface of the world.

At this moment, Srosh slowly opened her eyes.

"Seal the Illusion of Burning Truth..."

It is still struggling to seal away the illusion of burning truth.

At this moment, Guizhong smiled and pointed to the sky, which had returned to normal, saying, "Srosh, you have already sealed away that Burning True Illusion!"

"Ah!" Srosh in surprise.

"It's already sealed!"

"Yes, you have accomplished a miracle that has shocked the world."

Bai Ye praised Srosh.

"Hahaha, as expected of us!"

Srosh laughed loudly.

But in an instant, it looked at itself with a puzzled expression.

"Wait, wasn't I supposed to be sacrificed when dealing with the Burning True Illusion? Why am I not receiving any notification?"

"Who knows? Maybe the enemy isn't that strong this time."

"Hmm, maybe so."

Srosh still couldn't figure out what was going on.

However, it's good that the illusion of burning true immortality has been resolved.

Speaking of this, Srosh remembered something and asked Bai Ye:

"By the way, did you film this scene?"

"No."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"What a pity, what a real pity."

Srosh was somewhat helpless.

"Weren't you planning to use this to resolve the conflicts between your families?"

Bai Ye and Guizhong exchanged a glance.

Well, this guy still remembers his excuse.

"Hey, we're still young, there will be another chance sooner or later."

Guizhong said with a grin.

Ji is still young...

Bai Ye didn't want to complain.

"Well, that's all we can do for now."

Although there was a slight regret, Bai Ye was still extremely happy because he had managed to resolve the illusion of the Burning True Immortal.

The group returned to the Fleur Fair Clan's encampment.

As for Naxianzhuna, she committed suicide out of fear of punishment halfway through her journey.

Bai Ye and Guizhong randomly found a place to bury him.

They returned to their post.

The Fleur Fair came out one after another to express their gratitude to Bai Ye and the others.

Srosh watched from the sidelines, feeling frustrated.

It was his own sealing of the illusion of the Burning True Immortal that made them all grateful to Bai Ye.

"Forget it, these guys just can't judge people."

Srosh thought to herself.

After a period of noise, Bai Ye and Guizhong ate the food prepared by Fleur Fair and then began to rest.

During this break, Guizhong Zhongyi cuddled up Bai Ye and slept.

She continued to let Bai Ye lean against her chest, his legs tightly wrapped around her, in a position that was as ambiguous as could be.

Bai Ye's heartbeat was even stronger, and her reaction was also greater.

After resting for one night, Bai Ye and Guizhong secretly went to find Zurvan the next day.

Zurvan led them to a lakeside.

Looking at the lake, Zurvan spoke:

"The body of the previous Hydro Archon has transformed into this pool of water. Bai Ye, although I brought you here, please do not desecrate the body of the Hydro Archon."

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded gently.

He stood by the lake and gently stretched out his palm.

At that moment, the pool water rippled, and the lake water slowly rose up and touched Bai Ye's palm.
