"Yes!"
Great Emperor Lan Yu nodded at once.
Fang Chen looked at the Golden Cicada in Great Emperor Lan Yu's palm and asked curiously, "What other forms can it take?"
Great Emperor Lan Yu replied, "Its first form is a golden cicada. Its second is a mantis, its third an oriole, its fourth a golden snake, its fifth an eagle, its sixth a beastman, and its seventh—and final—form is human!"

Great Emperor Lan Yu continued, "Golden Cicada Ridge is extremely chaotic. You all came from the same place, so I hope
