Gods

[Your Highness, is this...? I am Yun Xi. I am currently in the area near Qingtan Town. A large area of strange black fog has appeared here. Do you know anything about the situation here?]

After sending the message, Yun Xi waited quietly for a reply, her gaze never leaving the chilling black mist.

[Your Highness Yun Xi, please leave that area immediately! It's dangerous there!] Yu Honglu replied immediately.

Yun Xi felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing the message.

[Your Highness, what danger is it? Please inform me.]

Yu Honglu's message arrived quickly: [I don't know the specifics either, only that the black mist appeared extremely suddenly, and no one who got close came back alive. Our kingdom has already sent people to investigate, but so far there has been no news. Your Highness Yun Xi, please don't take any risks.]

Yun Xi frowned and fell into deep thought.

[Have you made any discoveries or found any clues?]

After a while, Yu Honglu replied: [It is said that this black mist may be related to an ancient god, but this is only speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence yet. Your Highness Yun Xi, you really cannot stay any longer.]

"[I didn't detect much eerie energy in this black mist, so it seems to have nothing to do with the Abnormal God.]" Yun Xi continued.

[Yun Xi Highness Yunxi, to be honest, we have absolutely no clue which deity it is. This black mist is far too mysterious, unlike anything we've encountered before.]

Yun Xi seemed to be deep in thought.

Just then, Daka sent another message to Yun Xi.

[Yun Xi Highness Yunxi, you mentioned there was a patch of black mist outside. I just investigated and think I know what it is. Please come back now. Don't worry, this black mist won't affect Your Highness's small world.]

Seeing her say that, Yun Xi then used the Freedom Divine Technique to teleport to the special space of the Goddess of Freedom.

Daka waited quietly for Yun Xi in the main hall.

As soon as Yun Xi appeared, she asked her, "Daka, what exactly is that black mist?"

Daka's expression was solemn as she slowly said, "Your Highness, this black mist... may have been set up by Her Highness the Statue of Goddess of Freedom's former enemies."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi frowned slightly.

"Then do you know who the enemy is? And why did he set up this black fog at this time?"

"I'm not entirely sure which enemy it is. But Her Majesty the Statue of Goddess of Freedom has had many enemies, each one powerful and cunning. As for why they chose to strike now, perhaps they've realized that Her Majesty's divine status has changed hands and see this as a good opportunity for retaliation."

"The power contained within that black mist, I think, most likely belongs to the Dark Lord God."

The Dark Lord God? Yun Xi was suddenly startled.

"Your Highness, I sensed something was amiss from your description. The black mist contained very little eerie energy, which means it wasn't set up by Strange Item, but rather related to darkness."

Daka's expression was grim. "The Dark Lord God controls the power of darkness, and the methods He uses are naturally different from those of the supernatural. This black mist must be a trap containing powerful dark energy."

"Your Highness, the Dark Lord God and the Goddess of Freedom were once mortal enemies. He searched for the Goddess of Freedom for a long time, but to no avail."

"But you can rest assured that although He has set up a black mist here, His true form cannot descend into Normal Region. At most, He can only use the black mist to find the successor of Her Majesty the Statue of Goddess of Freedom, which is you."

"But didn't you say that once the divine essence enters my body, no one will notice?"

"He certainly won't notice, but He can kill everyone who enters this area," Daka replied solemnly.

"However, Your Highness, you didn't seem to be attacked while you were in the black mist. Perhaps it mistook you for someone else..."

"You mistook me for someone else?" Yun Xi suddenly realized that she was now the Soul Fragment Reincarnation Son of the God of Light, disguised as someone else.

I never expected it would have this use.

Perhaps the relationship between light and darkness...

In her conventional understanding, light and darkness should be opposites, yet she, as a fragment of the Son of the God of Light's soul, was able to temporarily remain safe within the black mist set up by the Dark Lord God...

Is it darkness's fear of light, or is there a deeper connection between the two?

Now that she had left the black mist, Yun Xi was naturally not foolish enough to go back in. She could simply ignore it, since she could use the Freedom Divine Technique to leave the Shuyu Plains directly.

But... Yun Xi looked at Daka again.

Yun Xi hadn't forgotten that within the treasure vault of the Goddess of Freedom's space, there was a very special and Strange Item sealed away. Even the Goddess of Freedom could be corrupted; one could only imagine what would happen if the Dark Lord God discovered this place...

Daka seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled slightly at Yun Xi.

"Your Yun Xi, you need not worry. Have you forgotten the Goddess's divine magic? It can not only 'possess' freedom, but also Imprisonment of Freedom."

"Currently, only you can freely enter and exit this space. No one or nothing else can enter this place except for the Dark Lord God himself, and that black mist cannot have any effect on me."

"As for Her Majesty the Statue of Goddess of Freedom's treasury, that peculiar and Strange Item, I swear I will seal it with my life!"

Daka had also signed a contract with Yun Xi, so Yun Xi naturally believed her words without a doubt.

"Ya, Daka, I'm leaving this place in your care. If anything unusual happens, be sure to tell me immediately."

"Your Highness, of course I will not hide it from you."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi could only temporarily set aside her doubts. She thought of the Dark Lord God... and couldn't help but think of even more things.

"Daka, can you tell me what types of gods exist on the Godfall Continent?"

She is also close to breaking through to the demigod level, and perhaps soon she will try to break through to the god level. If she knows nothing about the divine realm or other gods, it would be a great pity.

"Your Highness, there are many types of gods. It can be said that any 'title' can be used to become a god, as long as one can comprehend the corresponding Power of Rules."

Let me give you an example.

"For example, the gods who control the elements of nature, such as the Fire God, the god of water, and the Wind God, dominate the natural forces of the world."

There are gods who govern life and death, such as Goddess of Life and God of Death, who determine the cycle of life and death for all things.

There are also deities in charge of war and peace, such as the god of war and the Goddess of Peace, who influence the world's conflicts and tranquility.

In addition, there are goddesses such as Goddess of Wisdom and Goddess of Love, each with their own unique domain and powers.

Yun Xi listened intently, "Then what are the relationships between these gods?"
