Extra 1: Where the Dream Began

In the Great Thousand World, within the northwestern territory, lies the Hundred Spirit Continent, the Hundred Spirit Heaven, and the Northern Spiritual Realm.

In the backyard of the city lord's manor in the newly established Mu Domain.

Time truly flies.

A young woman dressed in a slim-fitting white gown, her figure graceful and her features gentle, stood amidst the flowers. She tilted her head slightly, gazing into the distance at the horizon, looking breathtakingly beautiful.

As she spoke, her delicate hand gently caressed her flat abdomen.

A sacred, maternal glow appeared upon her exquisite, fair face; a small life was gestating there, growing strong and healthy.

Intertwined with a sense of happiness, the woman in the white dress gradually drifted into memories of the past.

Over a decade ago, somewhere in the Hundred Spirit Continent.

"BOOM!"

Suddenly, a divine rainbow tore through the sky.

A dazzling orb of light, trailing a long flame of spiritual energy, slammed into the depths of the vast Spirit Beast Forest like a plummeting comet, causing the earth to tremble and the mountains to sway.

Violent shockwaves swept outward, ruthlessly obliterating everything in the vicinity.

Amidst the curling blue smoke, a massive, narrow trench rapidly took shape.

A fallen phoenix is truly worse than a chicken. Qing Yanjing, has it come to this for you?

In the center of the cracked crater, the mysterious woman opened her beautiful eyes, which were filled with exhaustion. She scanned the surroundings and the growing number of fierce beasts rushing toward the scene, offering a bitter smile.

She tried to lift her wrist, but her arms, usually light and slender, felt as heavy as ten thousand jun. A piercing, bone-deep pain surged through her entire body, growing more intense by the second.

The mysterious woman let out a long sigh, forced to give up.

Her Supreme Sea was damaged, her spiritual energy exhausted, her meridians shattered, and her divine abilities sealed.

If not for this, why would she fear a mere pack of low-to-mid-level spirit beasts?

Let alone high-level spirit beasts comparable to Spirit Soul cultivators, she could have crushed even the top ten formidable existences on the Record of Ten Thousand Beasts with a single palm, killing them like ants.

Those ranked in the top ten of the Record of Ten Thousand Beasts could be called Heavenly Beasts, or even Super Heavenly Beast existences, with the strongest among them capable of battling human Earth Sovereign experts.

"ROAR!"

A variegated tiger with blood-red eyes let out several low growls from its throat. Unable to suppress its inner ferocity, it launched the first attack and pounced.

It is no exaggeration to say that the flesh and blood essence of an Earth Sovereign expert is comparable to a sacred medicinal elixir.

If they could devour this medicinal treasure of flesh and blood, these low-level spirit beasts—the bottom-feeders of the spirit beast world—might stimulate their bloodlines, unlock their beast-body divine treasures, and leap forward to become powerful Heavenly Beasts.

It's too tiring. You are too tired. After fleeing for seven days and seven nights, even a god would grow weary. Just sleep, sleep...

The mysterious woman closed her jade-like, translucent eyes in despair.

In the darkness, a mysterious voice seemed to whisper into her ear.

"CLANG!"

At the critical moment, the dull sound of flesh colliding with flesh rang out.

The mysterious woman in the white dress opened her eyes again in surprise.

She saw the variegated giant tiger, which ranked quite high among mid-level spirit beasts, let out a mournful cry as its body suddenly exploded. A tall figure, flickering with pale yellow spiritual energy, leaped out.

Mu Feng, a Spirit Wheel Realm cultivator and adventurer from the Northern Spiritual Realm who was camping there for the night, swung his steel-like fist and killed the mid-level spirit beast with a single blow.

"What are you still staring at? Let's go!"

The heroic young man, dressed in martial attire, didn't hesitate for a second. Seeing the mix of surprise and joy in the woman's eyes, he pulled her up, strapped her firmly to his back, and moved with practiced agility to break through the encirclement.

"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!"

Seeing their fat meal about to escape, the swarming beasts roared, their murderous intent piercing the sky as they lunged forward in a dense, black wave.

In an instant, the situation on the field became perilous.

However, he never once showed fear!

To the mysterious woman, this young cultivator named Mu Feng was an incredibly weak and ordinary creature, yet even while covered in wounds and facing life-or-death danger, he never put her down.

He carried her the entire way, fighting his way out of the encirclement.

The mysterious woman—or rather, Qing Yanjing, the supreme goddess who had fled her marriage from the Buddha God Clan—lay silently against Mu Feng's back, her body soft.

Her eyelids drooped slightly, and a deep warmth welled up in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

At the same time, a strange emotion she had never experienced before spread through her heart, making her pulse race and filling her with a gentle, pervasive warmth.

The feeling of having someone to rely on... it's not bad at all.

Qing Yanjing wore a smile, filled with relief.

The next second, she fell into a deep sleep on his back.

Qing Yanjing and Mu Feng, the goddess of the Buddha God Clan and the rustic bumpkin, pledged their love here.

"A-Jing."

Heavy footsteps sounded, followed by a call filled with genuine affection.

As the words fell, a heroic, tall young man in black robes walked into the flowerbeds with a smile, taking his beloved wife's slender, delicate hand into his own.

His face was resolute, his temperament steady, and his stature upright; from a distance, he looked like a spear thrust into the sky, an unforgettable sight.

The only person who could enter the Domain Lord's mansion as if it were his own, and act so casually, was naturally the master of the Mu Domain, a Spirit Soul realm expert, Mu Feng.

Mu Feng deserved the credit for the Mu Domain being able to stand alongside established powers like the Liu Territory, Luo Territory, and Tang Territory as one of the nine great domains of the Northern Spiritual Realm immediately upon its founding.

"You, you just don't know how to tidy yourself up."

Qing Yanjing turned around, reached out with a slightly cool jade hand to gently stroke the stubble that had just sprouted on her husband's chin, and chided him playfully.

This action caused the latter to scratch his head and grin foolishly.

She was Qing Yanjing, the supreme goddess of the Buddha God Clan, one of the five great god clans of the Great Thousand World.

Her grandfather was the former patriarch of the Buddha Ancient Clan, a Saint Heavenly Sovereign who shook the Great Thousand World.

Her father was the head of the Qing Branch, a top-tier Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

Even she herself was a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign and a mid-rank Spirit Array Grandmaster.

In any case, everyone just needs to know that her background was terrifyingly immense.
