"Just luck." Zhu Wu smiled, lightly brushing the spot between his brows with his fingertips. The vertical eye had already retreated beneath his skin on its own. "Honestly, I don't even know what it does."

"The Eye of Life allows one to see through the essence of life. It can be used to observe the condition of your own body, as well as that of others. Of course, it has other uses as well. You'll naturally come to understand them once you use it more." Di Tian smiled. "Some things can only be deeply understood through personal experience."

No wonder I could see my own internal organs just now. Zhu Wu nodded. "That makes sense."

"How much did you improve?" Di Tian asked the question he cared about most.

"A little over three times," Zhu Wu answered truthfully.

Di Tian nodded. "Once the Gold of Life merges into your body, it will not disappear. Your Eye of Life is its outward manifestation. Aside from directly improving your body in every aspect, your spiritual power will now grow at three times its previous rate."

"You also possess a method for cultivating spiritual power, so you will likely improve even faster."

"Alright, go wash up first. We can discuss anything else later." As he spoke, he pointed at Zhu Wu's body.

Zhu Wu instinctively lowered his head. His skin was already covered in dried grime.

With an embarrassed smile, he cupped his hands toward the beasts present and turned to walk toward the nearby Stone Forest.

Not long after, he returned along the same path after changing clothes.

Why does he look like a woman? Seeing Zhu Wu's fair skin and excessively delicate features, Xiong Jun really wanted to say it. But when he thought of the spiritual power cultivation method Zhu Wu had yet to teach him, as well as Zhu Wu's current standing in Lord's eyes, he swallowed the words.

Damn it, I finally tanned myself to a wheat color. Why did I turn white again? Zhu Wu felt like his mindset was on the verge of collapse too.

"It's night, so the timing is perfect. Let's head up." Di Tian stepped forward with a calm expression.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was to be left for Zhu Wu to sacrifice to. Once that happened, there would be nothing left to absorb, so there was no need to keep staying in this space at the bottom of the lake.

Zhu Wu nodded. As he followed the others forward to regroup, he spoke.

"After we go up, it would be best if no one leaves the Mist Area for the time being. Since the Asura God has decided to seek an inheritor in this world and pass down his divine position, he will certainly set divine trials for his inheritor, perhaps even select suitable soul rings for him. If any of you appear outside and are discovered—especially by Tang Hao—you may very well catch the Asura God's attention and be designated as a divine trial for his inheritor to kill."

"In a fair fight, none of you would be afraid. What we need to fear is that the Asura God might shamelessly use his divine sense to help."

How had Tang San escaped from god-level Qian Renxue's hands? And how had the million-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King died?

Looks like it isn't suitable to run away at this stage. Sacrificing can still let me live, but getting hunted means instant death. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, whose restraints had already been removed by Di Tian and who was following behind Zhu Wu, felt his little heart go numb. He quietly interjected, "Boss, isn't that a bit too much? He's a god, after all."

Heh, I knew you were a coward. Want to run? Zhu Wu shook his head. "A divine position may be an irresistible prize to ordinary living beings of the Lower Realm, but not necessarily to gods who have already lived for countless years. So-called gods are, at their core, merely living beings of a higher life level."

"And as long as one is a living being, one will have emotions and desires. Gods are no exception. Gods possess nearly endless lifespans, yet they are bound by their divine positions and cannot leave the God Realm."

"After enough time passes, they will inevitably become bored and wish to go out for a walk, or pursue a higher realm."

"In that case, in order to free themselves from their divine positions, I'm afraid they would be capable of anything."

"That is indeed possible." Di Tian nodded. "The years I spent in the God Realm were truly quite boring."

"I think so too!" Zhu Wu nodded along. "From what I remember, it seems you once wanted to travel across the universe." Impressions had to be deepened bit by bit.

Like a gentle rain that nourished things without a sound.

You actually remembered that. Di Tian turned his head, surprise on his face. He suddenly felt a little touched.

According to Zhu Wu, the most vivid memories he retained now were of that great war in the God Realm. Almost everything else was gone.

Yet he had not expected Zhu Wu to still remember something he had said in his youth.

"..." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt that these two were being a little too pretentious.

He still wanted to live longer and spend his days together with Bing Bing in the future.

"Possessing eternal life is not necessarily a good thing. If any of you have the chance to become gods in the future, you will naturally understand that." Zhu Wu put on airs at just the right moment. "Watching familiar people leave one by one, seeing familiar things disappear, you will feel lonely. And if you repeat the same thing every day, then over time, you will find it dull and may even feel that life has lost its drive."

So most of the gods in the God Realm had chosen to lie flat by now. With that thought, he continued, "Therefore, even during the God Realm's glorious peak, there were gods who wanted to leave."

"Humans have a saying: life lies in movement, in stirring things up. Now, I think it does make some sense."

So that's why you thought of scheming against gods for a thrill? The beasts present could not help glancing at Zhu Wu.

"Boss, perhaps you should consider finding yourself a wife," the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly said.

With a wife by his side, he would not be lonely or miserable.

So, Boss, now that you have a wife, you can't possibly forget your little brother, right? As his eyes rolled, a certain idea rose in his mind.

Bing Bing, my Bing Bing, wait for me! Your Brother Sky Dream will come find you very soon!

Not far away, Di Tian raised a brow and glanced at Zi Ji from the corner of his eye.

Having Zhu Wu become his brother-in-law seemed pretty good. It would also get rid of a major burden.

"Hmph!" They said a Woman's Sixth Sense was extremely accurate. Zi Ji seemed to sense something, snorted coldly, and turned her head away, ripples stirring in her eyes.

"Yes, Zhu Wu is right." Di Tian immediately came back to his senses, ignored the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and said seriously, "Once we are outside, none of you are to run around for the time being. At the very least, not until Zhu Wu has spread the name of the Illusory Beast Sect throughout the human world."

"Yes." Though reluctant, the beasts still nodded.

Compared to temporarily losing their freedom, their lives were more important.

Some time later, splash, splash, splash, splash—several figures burst from the lake and landed on the shore.

"Uncle Di Tian, why have you all come out?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had been admiring the moon, ran over as she greeted them. "Eh, little ice silkworm, why did you come out too?"

"Lord has entrusted me with a great mission!" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, raising his nonexistent neck slightly.

"Ah! What mission?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked instinctively.

"To infiltrate the human world with Boss Zhu Wu, seek benefits for our soul beast clan, and strive for the revival of our soul beast clan!" the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm declared righteously.

As expected of the First Lick Dog of the Soul Beast World ten thousand years from now. He really knows how to flatter. Zhu Wu could not help glancing at him.

Infiltrate the human world... The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's large eyes brightened, clearly interested.

"Alright, let's begin," Zhu Wu's voice rang out.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion instantly came back to her senses. "Senior Treasure Hiding Beast, begin what?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Zhu Wu smiled, turned to nod at Di Tian, then strode toward an open patch of ground not far away.
