Maybe Your Ghost Realm's System Finally Broke

After Bai Qiuran and Eastern Emperor Taiyi disappeared, Jiang Lan settled down on the Fusang Divine Tree.

As instructed by Bai Qiuran before her departure, she asked the Three-Legged Crow and the Sun Mother to share the Sun's radiance with the Human Race on the small islands beneath the roots of the divine tree, to prevent them from evolving into some other strange species in the future.

In the Heavenly Palace, after Eastern Emperor Taiyi died, the Heavenly Palace was governed by his two chief stewards, Lu Wu and Yingzhao. The two gods elected one of his sons as the new Heavenly Emperor, and his principal wife, Yellow Dragon, ruled from behind the curtain, temporarily maintaining the precarious regime of the Heavenly Palace.

However, with the death of the great god Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Heavenly Palace was no longer as united as before. Especially after the death of Zhurong, the Southern Red Emperor, the remaining three emperors were all scheming to seize the territory and property he left behind, plotting against each other and disobeying the orders of the Heavenly Palace. The newly appointed Nine Divisions True Gods were also powerless to maintain the central authority of the Heavenly Palace.

The infighting among the Heavenly Gods provided a peaceful space for the three living on the Fusang Divine Tree, and also gave time for the Human Race and other races on earth to develop. In accordance with Bai Qiuran's will, Bai Li passed on what he had left behind to all of Human Race.

Because Bai Li met Bai Qiuran on a hillside, he combined "mountain" and "person" to create the title "immortal" to refer to his master Bai Qiuran. He himself was also called the Immortal Ancestor or Immortal Emperor by others.

Countless years later, Bai Li, who had grown into the leader of the Human Race, brought the Demon Ancestor Monkey to the Fusang Divine Tree to request an audience with Jiang Lan.

"Master's Wife, soon we will be officially at war with the Heavenly Gods."

Bai Li still looked the same as before, but he had become much more mature, steady, and responsible. He bowed to Jiang Lan then handed her the jade pendant engraved with the character "Li".

"The journey ahead is fraught with peril. If Bai Li dies, please have your Master's Wife give this jade pendant to your master in the future, and tell him that Bai Li has not failed in his teachings. If Bai Li is still alive, please also give this jade pendant to your master, so that he can use it as proof to find Bai Li in the future. Bai Li will then do his utmost to repay his master's kindness."

"Um."

Jiang Lan, who had already Tribulation Crossing and become an immortal, accepted Bai Li's Bai Li pendant and remained in Fusang.

Then, the Vast Sea, the Divine Age ended, the gods fell, and a new era began.

Having crossed the River of Time, Bai Qiuran and Wisdom Immortal were thrown out of the river of time and landed in the Main World.

Even if Eastern Emperor Taiyi used all his strength, it wouldn't have been enough to send Bai Qiuran and Wisdom Immortal back to their original era. Bai Qiuran originally thought there might be an error of a few thousand or a few hundred years, but just as Eastern Emperor Taiyi's remaining power was about to disappear, the will of Heavenly Dao directly appeared in the River of Time, pushing the tide and sending the two back to their original era.

The two returned to the Main World, Bai Qiuran found herself and Wisdom Immortal in the shattered sky of the Land Where Gods Fell.

The Stars in the Heavenly Cycle shattered completely, turning into large and small pieces of rock that drifted endlessly in the sky. At the very top of the Firmament, the original Eastern Emperor Bell had also been reduced to fragments. It was unclear whether it was destroyed by the Sword Qi that Bai Qiuran had fired before being banished by it, or whether it shattered because it had absorbed too much energy and could not withstand it.

"How much time has passed now...?"

Bai Qiuran floated in the Void, searching for the Milky Way that once existed.

"I don't know. Judging from this, it must be some time after we arrived at the Land Where Gods Fell."

Wisdom Immortal replied, "There might be some error, but I estimate it won't exceed fifty years at most."

Bai Qiuran found the small Wooden Boat they had rowed in the middle of the Milky Way, turned it around, and then took Wisdom Immortal aboard, rowing back the way they came.

When he came, he had no True Essence in his body and could only rely on Li Jinyao to row the boat. Now that he's going back, he can row by himself, so it can't be said that he gained nothing.

Fortunately, the Milky Way was not broken by his battle with the Galaxy Giant. Following a tributary of the Milky Way, Bai Qiuran successfully returned to the stream he had come from before and arrived at the valley outside the Land Where Gods Fell, located in the Savage Lands.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, Bai Qiuran saw a huge nose in the sky sniffing around the valley, which startled him so much that he almost threw his Oar away.

After he came out, the big nose seemed to smell something and suddenly rose up. Only then did Bai Qiuran see clearly that it was a Great Demon who was hundreds of feet tall and whose whole body was covered with noses.

The Great Demon's mouth was located on its abdomen, resembling a giant sack. After smelling Bai Qiuran's scent, it roared, and immediately, several other Great Demon of various shapes appeared near the valley, surrounding Bai Qiuran.

"Everyone."

Bai Qiuran put down the Oar, stood at the bow, and said to the Great Demon, "Do not rashly resort to arms."

A minute later, the remains of the Great Demon lay scattered around the valley.

Bai Qiuran wiped the demonic blood off her hands and tied the wooden boat back to the original stake.

"These Great Demon seem somewhat similar to the Heavenly Gods."

He flew away from the valley on his sword, heading towards the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. During the journey, Bai Qiuran, standing on the Flying Sword, spoke with Wisdom Immortal, saying, "I suspect it was created by the Heavenly Gods."

"Very likely."

The Wisdom Immortal replied, "Without a soul or spirit, yet possessing intelligence, it's probably a bizarre thing the Heavenly Gods concocted during the later stages of the war."

As the two people chatted, Clear Autumn Waters had already led them across the Soul-Ending River. Standing above the river, Bai Qiuran looked down and found the mighty Great River strangely familiar.

"Stop looking."

Wisdom Immortal said, "Don't you even recognize that piece of the Heavenly River you tore off back then?"

"I remember there were quite a few Dragon Race and Strange Beasts like the Black Tortoise in there back then."

As Bai Qiuran flew, he muttered to himself, "The Savage Beasts in this river are getting stranger and stranger... Where have all the original species gone?"

"I don't know, maybe they moved to another world, or maybe they've all Extinction."

As the two flew over the Soul-Ending River, Bai Qiuran suddenly saw a crooked White Shadow standing under a tree beside the Soul-Ending River.

As he flew over, the White Shadow gradually became clearer, eventually transforming into Xue Ling with a deathly expression, who waved at him.

Bai Qiuran stopped curiously, landed next to Xue Ling, and asked him, "What's up? Did you come to see me for something?"

"Um."

Xue Ling nodded, took out a booklet from his pocket, opened it, pointed to the first page, and said to Bai Qiuran, "I just want to ask you, what's going on here?"

Bai Qiuran looked up and saw his name written on it, and the lifespan column showed a negative number of hundreds of thousands of years.

"... I don't know either."

Bai Qiuran turned her head away and said, "Perhaps your Ghost Realm's system has finally broken down?"
