"An altar? Is it for worshipping the Sacrificial Spirit?"

Su Ye studied the imposing altar before him. Though the Sword Sect had long since been destroyed, the altar still gave off a powerful sense of oppression.Google search to read

"It's not an altar for worshipping the Sacrificial Spirit. It's an altar that leads to the Void God Realm."

Big Gold Dog said this. Born into a renowned family, he recognized the type of altar at a glance. Then he eyed Su Ye suspiciously.

He had long harbored doubts about this savage fellow, suspecting he might have come from some backwater place. Otherwise, how could he be so ignorant? But how could a backwater place produce such a terrifying freak?

"The Void God Realm."

Su Ye's expression shifted slightly. He had long yearned to visit the Void God Realm, but the Wind Clan tribe where he had once lived was only a small tribe and couldn't open a passage to it.

Big Gold Dog stepped forward and fiddled with the altar, channeling energy from his body into it.

Hum.

Soon, golden lines appeared across the ancient altar, shining brilliantly and giving it a sacred, extraordinary air. But the light quickly dimmed.

"Looks like the altar hasn't been damaged. But without energy to sustain it, I expect the spirit vein below has run dry."

Big Gold Dog said, then started to dismantle the altar.

Only great powers could build altars leading to the Void God Realm. This one wasn't an ordinary altar; if he took it away, he could sell it for a handsome price.

Bang.

Su Ye kicked Big Gold Dog, who was busy dismantling the altar, flying away. "Don't go tearing up the house."

He took the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from his back and set it on the altar. He activated it, and a vast amount of energy spilled out. The altar rumbled as golden lines took shape across it. Auspicious Mist billowed, and runes danced through the air.

Now that he had left his mark in the Divine Temple, he could easily draw energy from the Totem Pillar. As for whether that would create any Karma—

He wasn't worried at all.

He would surely reach the peak in the future and look down upon the ages. What Karma could he not bear? Put another way, it was the Totem Pillar's honor to help him.

Of course, that was going a bit far. At most, he could think it to himself.

Big Gold Dog looked displeased after Su Ye kicked him. But when he saw Su Ye activate the altar and open a passage to the Void God Realm, his eyes immediately began to dart about, fixing on the golden staff. It was definitely a priceless treasure.

Su Ye gazed at the golden passage formed from the countless runes on the altar. It connected heaven and earth, leading to an unknown world, with Auspicious Mist surging through it. He looked at Big Gold Dog. "What are you standing there for? Get in."

"What?"

Big Gold Dog froze, staring at Su Ye in astonishment.

He wanted him to go in?

When had he ever said he wanted to visit the Void God Realm?

"Did you expect me to go in alone? Do you think that's possible?"

Su Ye looked at Big Gold Dog and said with a smile, "Either you go in first, or I have a hearty meal and then go in alone. Which do you choose?"

Though he had subdued Big Gold Dog and made him submit, Su Ye wasn't arrogant enough to assume the fellow would behave himself after he left. At that point, he would probably become Big Gold Dog's lunch.

"The Void God Realm... I haven't been there in ages. I rather miss it."

Big Gold Dog said with a smile, his face full of nostalgia. He stepped onto the altar, and pinpricks of light appeared across his body. Then a phantom golden dog flew out of him and into the golden passage. His body stayed motionless, turning into a dead dog.

After seeing Big Gold Dog's primordial spirit enter, Su Ye didn't hesitate. He stepped onto the altar and sat cross-legged. Soon, light flickered over him as his primordial spirit left his body and entered the golden passage.

The Great Wilderness.

Stone Village.

Willow Branches pierced the sky like Order Divine Chains, their radiance dazzling as they formed a portal in the air. Beyond it, Misty Haze billowed.

Little One's primordial spirit left his body and entered the deep portal, arriving in the strange world beyond, shrouded in hazy light.

"Where is this?"

Little One's big eyes blinked as he curiously studied the mist-shrouded world around him. The whole world seemed to roil like Chaos, and everything was blurry.

"Come here!"

A gentle green light shone. Ahead, a charred Willow Tree appeared, rooted in the world as it led Little One onward.

The mist gradually dispersed, and the space ahead opened up, seeming utterly desolate and ancient, like an abandoned world.

"It looks like a barren ancient realm."

Little One was amazed. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in another world. Willow Deity really was amazing.

The mist thinned around them. Standing beneath the Willow Tree, he looked ahead and saw vast ruins, one grand palace after another collapsed, leaving only broken walls and rubble.

Little One's face was full of curiosity as he walked forward. Everywhere he looked was desolate, with rubble covering the ground. The once-magnificent palaces and halls had all been destroyed, exuding an air of age and desolation.

"What place is this?"

Little One asked. He felt that this place had once been immensely glorious, but now it had become a ruin. It was a pity.

"The Void God Realm."

Willow Deity replied.

"The Void God Realm?"

Little One's heart shook. The moment he heard the name, he knew it had to be extraordinary. Otherwise, why would anyone dare give it such a name?

"One account says this is the world people enter after becoming gods."

Willow Deity said, "Others say that the supreme beings worshipped by the ancient people—the gods—joined together and used their minds and spirits to create this strange world."

In the Mist Ruins.

"The Void God Realm is a spiritual world jointly created by the gods revered by the ancient people. It's a wondrous place, where everything is just like the real world."

Big Gold Dog explained the origins of the Void God Realm to Su Ye.

"A spiritual world."

Su Ye reached out to feel this world, drawing in the Chaos mist and sensing the energy within it. He smiled and said, "This is a spiritual world. How can you be sure the world outside is real, and not another spiritual world?"

"What?"

Big Gold Dog looked at Su Ye and said helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? The world outside is obviously real. How could it be a spiritual world? If it were..."

He trailed off and paused. If the real world had pain, then people felt pain here in the Void God Realm too. If people bled in the real world, then they bled here too. If they could cultivate in the real world, then they could cultivate here too.

If someone didn't already know that the Void God Realm wasn't real, but was instead a spiritual world built from the mind, they wouldn't think of it as a spiritual world at all. They would believe it was a real world.

For a moment, Big Gold Dog was dumbfounded, unsure how to answer.

"Who?"

Su Ye's expression suddenly changed as he looked behind him. He had just sensed a ripple behind him. Runes flickered in his eyes as he scanned the surroundings, but he found nothing.
