As the most powerful person on Douluo Continent, she naturally felt competitive toward Jinling Shengmu, another woman.

Even Gu Yuena, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and the other Soul Beasts were filled with anticipation.

As the Heavenly Emperor set out, the Seven-Fragrance Carriage shimmered with radiant light, and a thousand strands of auspicious mist drifted around it.

Dragons and phoenixes brought good fortune, their clear cries echoing from afar, as though they had come from ancient times.

Yet what terrified everyone was that—

What they awaited was not the Heavenly Emperor's imperial carriage,

But a single gaze!

With just one look, the entire Douluo Continent shook violently, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The vast heavenly might made countless people black out and faint.

Cracking sounds rang out as countless fine fractures spread across the Sky Screen, dimming its light...

"How is this possible? The Sky Screen shattered?"

Bone Douluo's eyes widened. He knew better than anyone just how powerful the Sky Screen was.

With just one look,

It had actually brought the Sky Screen to the brink of shattering?

He could not imagine what kind of terrifying existence that was.

Gu Yuena, Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu, and the others had all gone pale.

They were the strongest,

So they had suffered an even greater impact from the aftershock!

Fortunately, the other party had no intention of killing them. They were merely displeased at being watched by a swarm of ants.

Physical injuries were one thing, but the psychological blow was even more devastating!

Did they not even have the right to look at her once?

They truly were no different from ants!

Within Hibiscus Garden,

The many Immortal maidservants had all been dismissed, leaving only Shui Bing'er standing beneath the imperial carriage.

The fingers hidden in her sleeve slowly curled inward. Her heart was in turmoil, yet she maintained a calm facade.

"Are you Shui Bing'er?"

An extraordinarily beautiful woman stepped out of the Seven-Fragrance Carriage. She wore only a simple robe with golden patterns, her long hair loosely pinned up with a jade hairpin.

Yet the authority radiating from her was greater than that of any emperor Shui Bing'er had ever seen on Douluo Continent.

Hearing the question, Shui Bing'er bowed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed this humble woman!"

Jinling Shengmu swept her gaze over Shui Bing'er, making her feel like a peeled egg, with no secrets left to hide.

"Raise your head!"

Shui Bing'er obeyed and lifted her head, letting her gaze fall upon the jade pendant at the other woman's waist, not daring to look directly at her.

"Do you know why I summoned you?"

Jinling Shengmu's voice revealed neither joy nor anger.

"I do not."

"If there is anything I can do for Your Majesty, please command me as you wish!"

Shui Bing'er answered frankly.

To her, and to the world she came from, they probably were not even worth a speck of dust in the other woman's eyes.

She simply could not imagine why the other woman had personally summoned her.

The corner of Jinling Shengmu's lips seemed to twitch, or perhaps it had not.

After a moment, she asked an unexpected question.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

Shui Bing'er froze, then shook her head. "...No."

"That will not do. You must have killed someone!"

Jinling Shengmu spoke calmly, as though she were stating the most ordinary thing in the world.

After a slight pause, she asked again, "Do you want to become stronger?"

"Yes!"

This time, Shui Bing'er answered without the slightest hesitation.

Jinling Shengmu said teasingly, "How badly?"

That question instantly left Shui Bing'er speechless.

How badly?

She recalled the desolation of being left homeless when her academy had been ordered to relocate.

She recalled the embarrassment of being subtly excluded by the people of Shrek...

But how could she put such things into words?

Jinling Shengmu did not wait for her answer and said directly,

"I'll give you an opportunity. Be a butcher for a hundred years, and I'll take you as my disciple. What do you think?"

Become stronger? Become her disciple? Slaughter pigs?

Shui Bing'er was completely dumbfounded.

Even if it was a test, who had ever heard of such a test?

Should it not have been dangerous missions or life-and-death trials?

Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, but she had never once considered... slaughtering pigs?

Why did this feel completely different from the rumored stern and ruthless Great Emperor who held supreme power with an iron hand?

Seeing her remain silent,

Jinling Shengmu turned away, her robes stirring slightly.

"What? You are unwilling? Then forget it."

"I'm willing!"

Shui Bing'er blurted out.

No matter how absurd it was, this was still a path leading to Tongtian.

She believed that once she completed the test, merely being the Heavenly Emperor's disciple would be enough for her to roam freely through the Prehistoric World.

Jinling Shengmu stopped walking but did not turn around.

"Someone will come to guide you tomorrow!"

Within Daoyuan Hall,

Lin Feng rested a hand against his forehead.

He had never expected Jin Ling to tease Shui Bing'er like this...

But on second thought, it seemed like he had started it himself...

Still, he had definitely not gone this far!

"Making a young girl become a butcher is really... such a mood-killer!"

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled.

"Forget it, let it count as a test! The Prehistoric World is no ivory tower. Whose hands are not stained with blood?"

Jinling Shengmu had originally transformed from innate gold and presided over slaughter. Anyone who wished to become her disciple

Would naturally have to undergo trials of slaughter as well!

Having Shui Bing'er start by slaughtering pigs was already rather mild!

At last, the Sky Screen stabilized once more!

Shui Bing'er was following an unfamiliar female Immortal out of the Imperial Garden.

Yet the terrifying pressure Jinling Shengmu had brought still left countless people shaken.

"See? What did I say? So what if she is the Heavenly Emperor? She still cannot truly damage the Sky Screen in the slightest!"
