The stem of the Little Dream God Lotus blossomed with radiance, runes emerging amidst the brilliant, shimmering light. The original stem transformed into a complete lotus, swaying gently as it scattered a rain of light.

Su Ye gazed at the divine lotus before him; it was so exquisite that he felt momentarily mesmerized. However, he quickly steadied his mind. The Little Dream God Lotus before him was merely an illusion; the reality was just a tiny stem. He said, "Rest assured, I will not consume you. Follow me, and one day I can help you return to your peak."

"You?"

The melodious voice of the Little Dream God Lotus carried a hint of disdain. "I am not a spirit herb or a holy herb that can recover easily. In this era where the laws of heaven and earth are flawed, you cannot even become a god yourself. How could you possibly help me return to my peak?"

It did not take it for a fool, thinking it would obediently follow him just because of a few glib words.

Furthermore, although it was the stem of a divine herb, theoretically, it only needed to grow slowly to sprout a complete Little Dream God Lotus again—but that was merely theory.

If one could dismember a divine herb into thousands or tens of thousands of pieces to create thousands or tens of thousands of divine herbs, wouldn't the world be filled with them?

Not to mention divine herbs, even if a holy herb were split in two, it would be impossible to produce two holy herbs; instead, both would degrade into mere spirit herbs.

"Though I am weak now, my future is destined to reach the pinnacle. Never mind a divine herb; it is not impossible for me to help you evolve into an immortal herb in the future."

Su Ye's expression was arrogant, possessing the spirit of one who considers himself invincible.

"Still bragging? If you can defeat me, I might consider following you. If you cannot, you had best submit to me."

The Little Dream God Lotus swayed, its radiance permeating the air and auspicious clouds steaming forth, shrouding the entire cavern in sacred light.

Hum.

The rain of light on the body of the Little Dream God Lotus grew increasingly brilliant. Within that light, its form was no longer a lotus, but transformed into a graceful figure.

When this figure appeared, the heavens and earth seemed to lose their luster. That face of peerless beauty made the sun and moon hide behind dark clouds in shame. Her eyes blinked, clear as autumn water, both lively and filled with tenderness.

She was peerless, her grace suppressing the ages.

Su Ye's gaze turned dull. He had never imagined such a stunning woman could exist in this world. He found it difficult to use any words to describe her, for doing so would be an insult to her.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, Su Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale. Yet, a smile appeared on his face; he had just been caught in the other party's illusion, and now that illusion had been broken.

"What kind of eyes are those?"

A look of gravity appeared on the peerless beauty's exquisite face. She had sensed from the start that his eyes were not simple, but she had not expected them to be so bizarre. Her power had suffered a backlash the moment it touched them.

"Heavenly Eye."

Su Ye replied. If she hadn't touched his Heavenly Eye just now, he feared he would have been forever lost in the mental world she had constructed. The thought of falling into her illusion without even realizing it was terrifying; even now, he did not know when he had first been ensnared.

"Heavenly Eye?"

The peerless woman nodded slightly, parting her red lips. Her voice was incredibly melodious as she said, "I see. Only the Heavenly Eye could possess such power. But your Heavenly Eye... is somewhat strange. Its insight is not very strong, which differs greatly from the Heavenly Eye I know—the one capable of perceiving the true essence of the Great Dao and tracing the origin of the Dao. Could it be that it has not fully opened yet?"

Although she was but a divine herb, she had once been the supreme treasure of the Great Dream Sect, and having lived for a vast age, she knew much.

"Perhaps. After all, I am still too weak."

Su Ye said. He did not know much about his own Heavenly Eye and was unsure how to cultivate or develop it.

Throughout the ages, only a very small number of powerhouses had been able to open a Heavenly Eye, and those born with one were even rarer. Since the ancient times, only the Double Pupil had been known as a Heavenly Eye.

"I have shown you my talent. Are you ready to submit to me?"

Su Ye said with a smile. Though he smiled, his heart was grave, remaining vigilant against her, fearing he might once again be dragged into a mental dreamscape without realizing it.

That dream just now was actually quite nice.

Su Ye shook his head. Now was not the time for such thoughts; he needed to focus on the current situation.

The peerless Little Dream God Lotus sensed Su Ye's mental tension and said with a smile, "Do not be so guarded against me. With your current mental strength, you cannot resist my power at all."

Su Ye felt a surge of mental energy forcibly smoothing out his tense mind. His heart trembled; the other party's terror far exceeded his expectations. If she possessed such power, would she really attack him?

Could he truly resist?

No.

Su Ye hurriedly dismissed this thought. All of this might just be a mental illusion—her ability to make him feel powerless, only to strike a fatal blow once he let his guard down.

The runes in his eyes grew increasingly brilliant, and a special energy emerged. Behind him, the void roared, and chaotic light steamed forth. The phantom of the Chaos Grinding Disc manifested, and a terrifying aura descended, suppressing the heavens and earth.

"The Chaos Grinding Disc? Could it be the legendary Six Paths Reincarnation Disc?"

A look of shock appeared on the peerless woman's beautiful face. She thought of a taboo existence from a distant era—so distant that even she, a divine herb that had lived for countless years, had only heard of it in legends.

"No."

Su Ye said. After a moment of thought, he added, "It shouldn't be. This is the ability of my Heavenly Eye, to grind away all Dao and matter."

When it came to reincarnation, the first person one naturally thought of was the Immortal King of Six Paths Reincarnation, a supreme titan of the Immortal Ancient Era. But that did not mean everything related to reincarnation originated from him; after all, that figure was merely an Immortal King and had not reached the end of the Dao.

The Samsara Grinding Disc rotated, and chaotic matter permeated the air, shrouding Su Ye. It rendered him immune to all laws, isolating him from all power, making him the only existence in this world.

The peerless woman danced, her movements graceful. She did not continue to press the matter; even if this person were related to that supreme taboo existence, so what?

As she danced, the surrounding void trembled. Rays of auspicious light descended from the heavens, and she was entwined in divine radiance, as if a goddess were performing a dance.

"Do you know you cannot win, and are now dancing to beg for my forgiveness?"

Su Ye looked suspicious.

He did not understand what the other party was doing. Just a moment ago, the dancing was meant to bewitch and seduce him, dragging him into a dreamscape, but now that he had seen through it, why was she still dancing?

The stunning woman transformed from the Little Dream God Lotus offered no response, her dance steps growing increasingly beautiful while the divine radiance surrounding them became ever more dense.

"Are you just going to watch?"

The God Emperor's voice rang in Su Ye's ear, carrying a tone of speechlessness, as if he were saying that Su Ye was an idiot for standing by and watching so quietly.

"If I don't watch, should I go up and dance with her?"

Su Ye retorted, then added with a hint of regret, "It's a pity my dancing skills are rather poor."

In truth, he did feel that something was wrong, but as for what exactly, he could not put his finger on it.

Furthermore, the other party's ability was illusion magic, and now that he was immune to all laws, was it possible that he would voluntarily withdraw the power protecting his body just because she danced well?

"..."

The God Emperor did not know what to say, but considering that the other party was, after all, just a little fellow, he felt relieved and said, "This is a Sacrificial Dance."
