The Demon Summoning Cult, the Evil Yin Altar.

The moon was bright and the stars were few. Crows cawed noisily as they flew past the dojo in front of them, their reflections illuminating the waterfall not far away.

Despite the winter season and water scarcity, the waterfall cascades down, its surface faintly tinged with blood.

"Join me in worshiping the ancestral gods."

The Demon Summoning Holy Son took the lead, cutting a piece of flesh from his arm and throwing it into the pool.

"Offering sacrifices to the ancestral gods!"

The worshippers all had devout expressions on their faces.

emmmm

In fact, providing Power of All Living Beings does not require cutting off flesh; this was proposed by the Holy Son.

After all, they are a demonic sect, so this creates a better atmosphere.

Furthermore, people tend to have a stronger belief in things for which they have paid a price...

Within the waterfall, three shrines are enshrined, and the statues within bear a striking resemblance to those in the Ying Family Old Residence. These are the three founders of the Demon Summoning Cult, and the deities worshipped by generations of Demon Summoning Cult.

Legend has it that their origins predate even the Great Shang Dynasty.

"Holy Son! Ancestral Divine Appearance!"

At that moment, one of the Dharma Kings beside him suddenly pointed at the waterfall and exclaimed.

The Demon Summoning Holy Son suddenly raised his head and looked at the shrine on the far left of the waterfall, which was now emitting a faint light.

"The Dream God, it's the Dream God..."

The Dream God has been dormant for many years, no longer absorbing the Power of All Living Beings, as if he has completely vanished.

But today, I sensed something again!

Where does the Power of All Living Beings gather?

The Demon Summoning Holy Son immediately alerted the Dharma King beside him.

The latter remained silent for a moment, then opened his eyes and uttered three words:

"The Eastern Wasteland Domain!"

Li family, Qinghe County.

Li Mo felt a wave of suffocation. His head buzzed as he looked up and realized where he was sleeping—in Ice Block's arms.

Ying Bing kept her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and a few glistening tears could be vaguely seen.

He remembered what had just happened.

He entered Ice Block's dream, saw her parents, the terrifying Year Beast, and even Ice Block herself, and tricked her into calling him "brother"...

But Li Mo didn't quite understand.

Why did the Nian Year Beast find the Ying Family ten years ago and kill everyone in the Ying Family?

Even ten years later, it still followed me like a shadow?

"..."

After a moment of silence, Little Li decided that these questions he couldn't understand could be put aside for the time being.

Because if my parents saw me in this position, oh dear...

And the Ice Block, it should remember everything that happened in the dream too...

Li Mo glanced at Ying Bing.

The dream had shattered, but she had just exhausted a lot of her Will Soul, so she should be truly asleep this time.

"Let's go back first."

Li Mo stood up. It was almost dawn, and he decided to go back to his room first.

However, he stopped abruptly as soon as he stepped outside, his Will Soul sensing something.

That's right.

Isn't that a coincidence?

In the dark garden, two furtive figures were approaching his room.

It was Comrade Li and Ms. Xueqin, and they were almost at Li Mo's room door. If they went back to their room at this time, they would definitely be caught red-handed.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

The genius Xiao Li instantly remembered his newly acquired Divine Ability.

External Incarnation!

He returned to Ice Block's room, steeled his heart, and painfully plucked out a single hair from his own body. He then felt a sudden emptiness in his Will Soul, a sense of desolation, yet he could clearly feel the presence of that hair.

Furthermore, one can imbue it with true essence and control its rise and fall.

Doorway.

The couple looked into the pitch-black doorway, unable to see anything with the naked eye, and began to feel suspicious.

"Husband, is Xiao Mo inside?"

"I didn't hear any breathing, but Xiao Mo is now Divine Observation, his realm is higher than mine, it's normal that I can't sense him."

"Shall we... go in and take a look?"

Gu Xueqin looked inside, but unfortunately the room was dark, and a screen blocked the view from the other side of the bed.

The couple greatly respected their child's privacy and never sneaked into their son's room.

"Then I'll go in and take a look."

Li Dalong crossed his arms, his face serious in the darkness.

"If that brat suddenly wakes up, I'll pretend I went to the toilet and went to the wrong room on my way back."

As expected of him, like father, like son.

Unfortunately, the couple didn't notice as they were talking in hushed tones that a strand of hair drifted in through the window and landed on the bed.

Li Dalong entered the room, walked behind the screen, and then saw his son lying peacefully on the bed.

The breathing was so soft that you couldn't hear it unless you got very close.

"..."

"Could it be that my sixth sense is wrong?"

Li Dalong glanced at it, didn't linger, and tiptoed out again.

"How about it?"

"The brat's in his room."

"Alright, let's go back and rest then."

Gu Xueqin nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt inexplicably disappointed.

Li Dalong glanced at the room where Ying Bing was staying, but he still felt uneasy.

"My wife, you should go to sleep now."

Meanwhile, in the side room...

Lying beside the Ice Block, Li Mo relaxed and quickly stopped his External Incarnation technique. He was only at the Divine Observation Realm and had just come out of the Ice Block's dream, so maintaining it was quite strenuous.

Ying Bing's breathing beside him calmed down.

"This seems to be the first time she's ever slept so soundly."

Li Mo gazed quietly at her sleeping face for a while, his eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in 'Ying Bing' and lifted her nightmare.]

[You have an investment feedback report to claim.]

The system then emitted a notification sound.

But nothing is more important than sleep. Li Mo hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. The night was so long, and after the Ice Block was gone, Princess Little Jiang was waiting for him in the World Seed.

"Let's see tomorrow..."

As he pondered these thoughts, Li Mo drifted into a deep, dreamless sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I'm still half asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the morning light had already shone through the paper windows. The Li Mansion was quiet, so it must have been morning.

"Huh? This isn't my room..."

Li Mo yawned, only then realizing that he was too tired last night and had fallen asleep right there on the Ice Block.

Before his parents got up, he got up and pushed open the door.

"You brat!"

A figure leaped out of the bushes; it was Li Dalong, his face serious.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

Li Mo's body trembled.

Li Dalong squinted:

"You little rascal, I've finally caught you! You thought you could escape your father's sharp eyes? I felt something was off when I passed by this morning. What were you doing in Little Bing's room?"

"Huh? This is Ice Block's room? I went to the bathroom last night, did I go to the wrong place?"

"?"
