"The Purple Crystal Mountain is the core of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm and the source of the Power of Destiny." The voice of the Appraisal Chief God was tinged with a hint of awe. "It is not an ordinary mountain range, but an ancient and mysterious entity. You could even say that it is the 'will' of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm."

"Willpower?" Yun Xi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

The Appraisal Chief God nodded. "Yes. The Purple Crystal Mountain is not an inanimate object; it possesses its own consciousness, or rather, it is the embodiment of the destiny of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm. Whoever it chooses will become the master of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm."

Yun Xi was slightly shocked. She knew that the Purple Crystal Mountain was inhabited by living beings, but she never expected that her race was related to the consciousness of the divine realm.

"The reason for deliberately attracting so many gods is that the upcoming birth of the Divine Object Abyss Gate will attract the attention of the Abnormal God, and a war will break out in the Purple Abyss Divine Realm. By attracting many gods in advance, we can help the Purple Abyss Divine Realm overcome this calamity, which will naturally be beneficial for you to control the Purple Abyss Divine Realm," the Appraisal Chief God continued to answer.

Yun Xi's brows relaxed slightly, but her eyes still held a hint of deep thought.

She asked in a low voice, "So, you summoned these gods here not only to make the Purple Crystal Mountain choose me as soon as possible, but also to make them an ally of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm to resist the impending calamity of the Abnormal God?"

The Appraisal Chief God nodded, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "That's exactly right."

"The power of the Abnormal God's far surpasses that of ordinary gods. Their very existence is a distortion and destruction of destiny. The Purple Abyss Divine Realm is shallow in foundation and has very few gods. If it relies solely on its own strength, it will probably be difficult to resist the invasion of the Abnormal God '."

The arrival of these deities will not only strengthen the Purple Abyss Divine Realm, but also help the Purple Crystal Mountain more quickly recognize you as the Lord of Destiny.

Yun Xi silent for a moment, her thoughts churning.

"As for asking you to use the power of the Heart of the Purple Abyss to help me with that crucial matter, it's actually for the sake of my homeland Sky Dome Divine Realm. A thousand years ago, I learned of a piece of news: the Sky Dome Divine Realm would soon face annihilation..."

"After that, I frantically examined more related information, but I only got two clues: one was fate, and the other was the Abnormal God. I speculate that this destined disaster is related to the Abnormal God."

"Considering the first point... therefore, I would like you to use the power of the Heart of the Purple Abyss to help me change the predetermined fate of the Sky Dome Divine Realm's destruction."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi's mood became complex and somber. She gazed at the Appraisal Chief God, whose deep eyes seemed to hold endless worries.

She suddenly realized that this seemingly ill-intentioned Appraisal Chief God actually had an unbreakable attachment deep in his heart—his homeland, the Sky Dome Divine Realm.

"So, everything you did was for the Sky Dome Divine Realm..." Yun Xi murmured softly, her tone tinged with emotion.

The Appraisal Chief God's eyes flickered slightly, as if Yun Xi's words had touched a soft spot deep within her heart.

He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "The Sky Dome Divine Realm is my root, the place where I was born and grew up. There are my former kin, friends, and countless innocent souls there. I cannot stand by and watch it head towards destruction."

Yun Xi nodded, a sense of resonance welling up inside her. She couldn't help but think of Blue Star, the planet where she had once lived. Although she was far away, every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every river there was still deeply etched in her memory.

She also thought of the Star of Cause and Effect, the home of the Karma Main God, who was willing to make a pact with Eliza to ensure that Eliza would treat the Star of Cause and Effect well.

"Hometown... is indeed something I can't sever ties with."

A hint of approval flashed in the eyes of the Appraisal Chief God: "You're right. Our hometown is not only our root, but also the source of our strength. It carries our memories, emotions, and even a part of our destiny. To leave our hometown is to leave a part of ourselves."

At this point, the Appraisal Chief God suddenly said meaningfully, "Your Yun Xi, I have a piece of advice for you: in the long years of pursuing power or strength, you must never lose yourself."

Yun Xi slightly taken aback, her gaze fixed on the Appraisal Chief God. His words were low and slow, as if carrying a profound warning that struck her heart.

"I can't lose myself..." Yun Xi repeated these words in a low voice, her tone thoughtful.

The gaze of the Appraisal Chief God was deep and far-reaching, as if piercing through the barriers of time and space, witnessing countless gods losing themselves in their pursuit of power and authority.

He slowly said, "Your Highness Yun Xi, power and authority are certainly important, but they are merely tools, not the end goal. Over the long course of time, many gods, in pursuit of higher realms, have gradually forgotten their original intentions and ultimately become slaves to power, lost in endless desires and ambitions."

"Those gods who are deluded by themselves will eventually perish and will never reach eternity."

"Senior, do you mean... in the pursuit of power, I must always remain clear-headed and never forget my original intention?" Yun Xi's voice carried a hint of probing.

The Appraisal Chief God nodded, a hint of solemnity in his eyes. "That's right. Power is a double-edged sword; it can help you achieve your goals, but it can also lead you astray. Only by staying true to yourself can you go further on this path."

Yun Xi a deep breath, her gaze firm and profound. "Senior, I understand. Thank you for reminding me."

A hint of relief flashed in the eyes of the Appraisal Chief God: "You really didn't disappoint me. Remember, a true strongman is not only a possessor of power, but also a master of himself."

"Finally, Your Highness, please don't forget to allow me to take the divine Shield of Spiritual Light, out. Now that you have gained the approval of the Heart of the Purple Abyss and are the rightful heir to the Purple Abyss Divine Realm, as long as you allow me to take the Shield of Spiritual Light, I will have the right to use it."

This was originally part of their contract, so Yun Xi naturally nodded in agreement.

After finishing their business, Yun Xi couldn't help but ask him, "Senior, to what extent can your appraisal skills reach? Can you know everything?"

The Appraisal Chief God his head. "I cannot fathom the existence of God King level. I originally could not fathom the information within the Purple Abyss Divine Realm either. But as you know, since that ancient calamity, the status of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm has dropped too low. It is precisely because of this that I have been able to discover a lot of information."

"But don't worry, there are very few people in the entire Godfall Continent who can find out these core information about the Purple Abyss Divine Realm. Besides me, there are probably only the Prophecy Goddess who can know."
