Leaving

Ever since he entered the space and saw that Gu Yuena was not in her true form, but in human form.

Yu Wuyi had already harbored doubts.

He did not believe a dragon clan member would use a human form rather than their true form while in seclusion.

Especially not the Silver Dragon King.

When humans encountered their own kind, they would always lower their guard somewhat—at least compared to how they treated soul beasts.

If Gu Yuena were really as ditzy as she appeared, shouldn't she have remained in her true form when interacting with them?

Then why had she taken human form to lower their guard?

Of course, it could have been a coincidence, or perhaps she simply had such an instinct.

But later, she had demonstrated deductive ability, which conflicted with the persona she displayed.

Yet what truly confirmed Yu Wuyi's suspicions was that fleeting change in her expression.

If Gu Yuena had not tried to conceal it, it would have been fine. After all, anyone would be surprised upon encountering an alien. That was only natural.

But she had gone out of her way to hide it, which meant she was deliberately concealing something.

And judging by how she had put away the card without even properly looking at its contents just now—

Whether she could even read was another matter entirely.

But that was no longer his concern. His mission here had already been completed.

Yu Wuyi could not be bothered to think about what Gu Yuena wanted to hide.

He was not suited for battles of wits. When in doubt, just punch a star apart.

The point was to be completely unreasonable.

"My objective has been achieved, and I've answered the questions."

"Could I trouble Your Majesty the Silver Dragon King to send us out now?"

They appeared to be not far from the doorway, but the actual distance was even greater.

It was like in the starry sky, where each step could carry you an unknown distance.

Without Gu Yuena's help, they might never reach that place.

Unless he transformed and forcibly destroyed this space.

"You're leaving so soon?"

The words were clearly reluctant, yet coming from Gu Yuena, they somehow carried a note of indifference.

After all, she used the same tone no matter what she said.

Yu Wuyi said helplessly, "Can't be helped. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Besides you, we still have several other places to visit."

"We can't delay here for too long."

Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then remember to come play again when you have time."

Then, with a wave of her hand, space folded once more.

The familiar sensation washed over them, and Yu Wuyi and Firefly soon arrived before the doorway.

"We'll come often."

After offering the polite reply, Yu Wuyi waved at Gu Yuena.

Firefly also gave a symbolic wave.

Outside the door, Di Tian stood guard without moving an inch.

Seeing the two emerge so quickly, surprise flashed in his eyes.

Hadn't it been something important? They had gone through so much trouble, yet it had ended so quickly?

"Di Tian, see them out."

A long, lingering voice drifted from within the doorway.

Di Tian nodded and gestured to the two of them.

"Please."

The two left by the way they had come, with Di Tian following behind them.

When they reached the Lake of Life again, Yu Wuyi suddenly discovered that it had begun to snow!

The clear blue sky, which he had assumed resulted from his battle with Di Tian, was now covered by clouds.

Goose-down-like snowflakes drifted gently down.

Previously, the snow had fallen because Caesar had released his cold aura, but this time, that was not the case.

Di Tian also noticed the anomaly, though he could probably guess the reason.

Because of its climate, coupled with the vigorous vitality and blood of countless soul beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest was affected by an unusual environment.

That environment even influenced the weather across the entire forest.

The effect was especially apparent in the core region and the Great Ferocious Land, where even rain had become exceptionally rare.

Only a power that transcended the rules themselves could change all that.

And only one thing met that requirement.

The crystal Caesar had created in the Abyss of No Darkness state to seal the void.

Although Yu Wuyi had deliberately controlled it so that the crystal would not harm the surrounding environment, the chill it emitted still changed the skies above the entire core region.

Fortunately, this was the core region, where vitality and blood were at their strongest. If it had been anywhere else, it would have turned into a frigid land second only to the Far North.

Even so, the temperature throughout the core region had dropped considerably.

Fortunately, this was also the core region. Soul beasts that had cultivated for ten thousand years would not have their lives endangered by such a slight drop in temperature.

Still, it was quite unpleasant.

"I'll see you off here."

"You can summon that armor and leave directly."

Although they had formed an alliance, Yu Wuyi and Di Tian had only just met and had nothing much to say to each other.

After exchanging a glance with Firefly, the two transformed at the same time.

Two whirlwinds, one icy and one fiery, rose simultaneously.

Firefly took flight first, stopping in midair.

Yu Wuyi turned to look at Di Tian. He suddenly remembered that he had yet to tell Di Tian about the God Realm.

Although he had won, since they were now allies, there was no harm in telling him.

"The one behind you definitely knows why soul beasts cannot become gods."

"So that isn't particularly useful information to you."

"But there is one piece of news that will certainly interest you."

"Ten thousand years from now, a human will appear who will help the one behind you return to the God Realm."

"If you want to know more, you can ask the one behind you."

Once he finished speaking, Yu Wuyi swiftly rose into the air and joined Firefly.

The two became streaks of blue and red light, vanishing from Di Tian's sight.

"Ten thousand years from now..."

Di Tian silently remembered that time.

He did not know how the other party had learned of the future ten thousand years from now, nor did he know whether it was true.

But he had already waited hundreds of thousands of years. Another ten thousand made little difference.

"Di Tian, come here."

A long, distant voice sounded in Di Tian's mind.

Without hesitation, he returned to the Spatial Gateway.

A thin object flew out from the gateway, and Di Tian caught it.

It was the business card for Wuyi All-Purpose House that Yu Wuyi had given Gu Yuena earlier.

"Do you recognize the writing on this?"

The long, distant voice sounded in Di Tian's mind again.

Just as Yu Wuyi had guessed, she had never left this space, much less come into contact with human society.

Naturally, she could not recognize the writing on it.

There were no obscure characters on the business card. Di Tian would occasionally visit human society.

So he could still recognize writing of this level.

"It gives the name of a human settlement, as well as its exact location in the human world."

"After that, it describes the rules of that settlement and what it does."

"The first rule is..."

"The second rule is..."

"The third rule is..."

Di Tian explained the words on it in a way Gu Yuena could understand.

Within the Spatial Gateway, Gu Yuena had already returned to the Silver Dragon King's true form.

Her enormous body obscured the entire starry sky.

As she listened to Di Tian's explanation, surprise and contemplation continuously flashed through her eyes.

"Wuyi All-Purpose House..."

"Paying a price would grant one anything they desired..."

"If that is the case, perhaps the plan can be moved forward..."
