The Goddess of Life gazed at the refined and easygoing figure on the Sky Screen, then thought of the God of Destruction who had been swatted into dust, and a complex emotion could not help but surge within her heart.

"Though Destruction is powerful, he is far too irritable and far too arrogant."

"And this Immortal Lord..."

"Every gesture he makes embodies the supreme principles of heaven and earth; that composure and bearing are truly something Destruction could never hope to compare to."

"If only I had met him back then..."

The Goddess of Life's chest heaved, one hand pressed tightly against her heart, her small face flushed a faint red.

But she quickly shook her head, dispelling this terrifying thought.

Yet, that heart which had remained dormant for countless years could no longer find its peace.

Meanwhile, the entire Douluo Plane was shocked, and people began to speculate where this mysterious Immortal Lord was headed.

After all, even in his previous confrontation with the two Immortal Kings, this Immortal Lord had calmly torn through space with a single hand, never even deploying his true form.

Now that he was traveling with a Daoist Boy, there must be some monumental event afoot, or perhaps he was on his way to meet some incredible figure.

At this thought, the people of the entire Douluo Plane grew even more curious.

However, before they could stare at the Sky Screen until their eyes grew weary, the massive screen split into three scenes, revealing the fates of the other three people from Douluo.

The scene shifted. The first frame was no longer the Primordial Immortal Court, but a valley filled with a pink aura.

Peach blossoms were in full bloom here, the air was thick with fragrance, and the scenery was filled with an alluring charm.

Hu Liena, the Saintess of Spirit Hall, was walking along the mountain path, her face etched with exhaustion.

Although she had been selected and teleported here, she hadn't been as lucky as Zhu Zhuqing in finding a powerful backer, and she had suffered immensely along the way.

In particular, the terrifying gravity of this world had nearly crushed her into a breakdown.

Fortunately, her martial soul was a Demon Fox, which was inherently skilled in charm and mental power, which made things slightly more bearable.

"What is this place?"

As she walked, Hu Liena discovered a sect shrouded in pink clouds ahead, her face filled with suspicion.

Looking up, she saw three large characters carved into the mountain gate: Hehuan Sect!

Although the name sounded somewhat improper, in such a high-dimensional world, no sect could be considered simple.

"Recruiting disciples? Only women? And must possess a natural charm?"

Looking at the notice in front of the gate, Hu Liena's heart stirred.

Wasn't this tailor-made for her?

Without further hesitation, Hu Liena straightened her appearance and, continuing to endure the immense gravitational pressure, stepped forward.

Compared to Hu Liena, the second screen featuring Sword Douluo Chen Xin was far more perilous.

He had descended onto a desolate Gobi desert where sword qi crisscrossed the air; every gust of wind was like a sharp blade, leaving him covered in cuts and bruises.

Yet, far from retreating, he wore a look of fanaticism.

For not far ahead of him stood a massive Sword Mountain that pierced the clouds!

The mountain itself looked like a giant sword connecting heaven and earth, standing between the sky and the ground, radiating a terrifying sword intent that made the very heavens change color!

"Is that... the holy land of sword cultivators?"

At this thought, Chen Xin gripped his Seven Kill Sword tightly, gritted his teeth, and began to walk toward the Sword Mountain, step by step, against the overwhelming sword qi.

In the third split-screen, the scene shifted again, arriving directly in a lush green vegetable patch.

It was planted with all sorts of strange spiritual plants, the most conspicuous of which were carrots as clear and crystalline as rubies.

"Slurp..."

Ma Hongjun hid behind a bush, watching those carrots, his mouth watering.

Although he had been forcibly dragged into the teleportation array, he had been lucky in his misfortune over the past few days; aside from the gravitational pressure, he hadn't encountered any major danger. On the contrary, because the Spiritual Energy in this vegetable patch was so dense, his Soul Power had increased quite a bit.

"Hehe, no one's guarding it—Fatty is going to help himself!"

After glancing around sneakily, Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, crept into the field, and grabbed a carrot, ready to pull it out.

"Poke, poke."

Just then, he felt someone poking his waist from behind.

"Stop it, Fatty is busy!"

Ma Hongjun waved his hand impatiently and continued to pull at the carrot.

"Poke, poke, poke!"

The person seemed relentless, continuing to poke him.

"Hey, who is it!"

Annoyed by the poking, Ma Hongjun whipped his head around, ready to start cursing, but he froze on the spot the next second.

Standing behind him was a little girl who looked like a carved jade doll.

The little girl appeared to be only five or six years old, dressed in a pristine white dress with two long, fuzzy ears atop her head. She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at him with a pouting face.

"So... so cute!"

For a moment, Ma Hongjun's eyes went straight.

The two rabbit ears, in particular, instantly reminded him of Third Brother's Xiao Wu.

"Hehe, little sister, do you like eating carrots too?"

Ma Hongjun's gaze scanned the little girl's body unscrupulously, then lingered on her tail as he gave a lecherous smile.

Out here in the middle of nowhere, just a little girl like this—isn't she just waiting for Fatty to have his way with her?

However, considering this was that terrifying world, he decided to try and sweet-talk her first for the sake of safety.

"Who are you? Why did you steal my cawwot?"

The little girl looked at the ugly, fat Turkey Brother before her, hands on her hips, and asked in a milky voice, her ruby-like eyes filled with fury.

"Ahem, brother isn't stealing, brother is just helping you taste it."

As Ma Hongjun spoke, he slowly moved closer:

"Little sister, what's so good about this carrot?"

"Brother has a much bigger one here, do you want..."

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent.

"What is that dead fatty doing?!"

In Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu stomped her feet in anger after seeing the scene on the Sky Screen.

Although that little girl was cute, the aura she exuded made even her, a hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, feel a deep sense of dread!

"Of all the things to do, he just had to let his lust take over..."

"Fatty is dead for sure this time!"

Just then, a light suddenly flashed across the Sky Screen again, appearing right in the center.

[Announcement: Douluo Plane explorer God of Destruction, confirmed dead!]

[Cause of death: Slapped to death by the gatekeeping Daoist Boy for insulting the Immortal Lord!]

[Conducting the fourth round of replacement selection...]

[Ding! Selection successful!]

[Fifth selectee: Young Master of Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue!]

"Hum!"

The next second, without giving the people of Spirit Hall any time to prepare, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, instantly piercing through the roof of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and enveloping Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

"I've been selected?!"

Qian Renxue was stunned at first, but before she could react, she vanished from where she stood.

The next second, the scene shifted.

The light screen, which had been split into three, merged back into one, revealing Qian Renxue's figure on the Sky Screen.

It appeared to be the Deep Great Wilderness, outside a primitive village.

A charred Willow Tree was swaying gently in the wind.

And not far from this Willow Tree, a disheveled man covered in wounds and mud was struggling to move stones.
