The wedding is one thing; although they don't approve, as long as they don't touch the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, it's fine. Nowadays, the Demon Realm can't really stir up any trouble.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the wedding, news broke that trouble had broken out in the Demon King City. News travels slowly between the two realms, and before they knew what had happened, the western celestial phenomena changed, and the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda collapsed with a thud!

The cultivators throughout Youzhou City were stunned. Wasn't this exactly what they feared?

The nearby sects were thrown into chaos as they hastily gathered for a meeting. Various protective formations for the mountains and cities were activated as if they were free, and the sound of Spirit Stone flowing could be heard both inside and outside the city.

Before we could even figure out what was happening, the Divine Pillar that was said to never collapse in a thousand years suddenly started shaking!

The entire Youzhou City shook!

Everyone was now on edge and rushed to the vicinity of the Divine Pillar. They witnessed a scene they would never forget— the Divine Pillar collapsed, and the Divine Sword was born.

Then, the Divine Sword was taken away by a female cultivator. Just as everyone was about to snatch the Divine Sword back, a teleportation array suddenly appeared on the ground, transferring the female cultivator who had taken the Divine Sword and her companion away.

The group arrived empty-handed and had no choice but to return home disappointed.

Only later did I hear the news that the wedding had failed, the Demon Realm was in chaos, and the Fox King had died. I also heard that the Demon Realm now had a new demon lord. Right after the Divine Pillar collapsed, a powerful demon from the Devil Realm also invaded the Devil Realm, plunging both the demon and demon realms into chaos.

The monks all sensed an unusual atmosphere.

With the collapse of the Divine Pillar, a storm was brewing.

The Jade Slip Forum was in an uproar. Some people were hoping that Song Wuya would come out and give an explanation, while others said that the Demon God's prophecy was true and asked if it was still possible to join the Glazed Sea.

Some even planned to sleep on the ground outside the barrier of the Glazed Sea, and join the Demon God as soon as the barrier opened.

Compared to the shocking news of the collapse of the Divine Pillar, the deaths of Commandant Feng and Protector Cheng were like two pebbles falling into a lake, creating only tiny ripples, and no one paid any attention to them.

--Legend has it that when the Divine Pillar collapsed, heavenly fire descended, and Demon God wreaked havoc on the world.

Why not join the Demon God god's forces now? Perhaps we can live a few more days.

These people naturally incurred the wrath of most of the righteous cultivators, and then someone asked, "Legend has it that the goddess can save the world, Demon God has already descended upon the Glazed Sea, so where is the goddess?"

"Is there even a question? Whoever gains the Divine Sword's approval will be the goddess!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

"Wasn't it Qiaoqiao, a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, who took the Divine Sword?"

"That's right, that Divine Sword went straight for Qiaoqiao back then. Now that I think about it, the Divine Sword had already chosen her as its master!"

"So... Qiaoqiao is the reincarnation of a goddess?!"

"No wonder she performed that way in the sect competition..."

"Looking back now, Ning Xuan, Liu Yu, Bing Yan, and Nangong were all exposed by her. Do you still believe that it was all divined? Pavilion Master Song didn't know that Nangong was a demon! That was clearly the power of a goddess!"

"This..."

"It seems so..."

"But Pavilion Master Song— "

"Forget about Pavilion Master Song, let's go to the Flowing Cloud Sect and demand an explanation!"

"That's right! Since Qiaoqiao has obtained the Divine Sword, she should save the three realms, or else hand Divine Sword over!"

"The Flowing Cloud Sect must give the Three Realms an explanation!"

Xiao Tingyu and Wen Zhi both saw the discussion on the Jade Slip Forum, and their expressions turned somewhat grim.

These people are so easily swayed by rumors. The moment trouble strikes, they're quick to rely on others or try to take advantage. Their calculations are incredibly shrewd—if the Flowing Cloud Sect acknowledges that Qiaoqiao is the reincarnation of a goddess and must shoulder the responsibility of saving the Three Realms and fighting against the Demon God, they can simply sit back and watch the show; if the Flowing Cloud Sect doesn't acknowledge her, then they'll hand over the Divine Sword. Either way, they won't lose out.

However, this also shows that these people are actually skeptical about whether their junior sister is a reincarnation of a goddess. Not to mention these people, even they themselves find this hard to accept at the moment.

Junior sister... is she really a goddess?

Can...

Xiao Tingyu hesitated before asking, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"

More than the goddess, she was actually more concerned about the line of text that had suddenly appeared above her junior sister's head. "Darkening Value" was clearly not a good term. If her junior sister was the reincarnation of the goddess, why would this line of text appear?

She was uneasy, worried about the impact this would have on Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao shook her head. "I'm fine."

She doesn't even know what level her cultivation has reached, but she feels it must be incredibly powerful.

Maybe even more skilled than his master!

"That goddess..."

She cautiously brought up the topic, but Qiaoqiao didn't seem to care.

"I am the messenger of Heavenly Dao!"

Everyone:?

What messenger?

Qiaoqiao opened her round, almond-shaped eyes and answered earnestly.

Isn't being chosen by Heavenly Dao as a messenger of justice way much cooler than being a goddess?

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. This was completely different from what they had expected. They had thought she would feel pressured or unable to believe it, and they were wondering how to comfort her. But her idea was even more outrageous!

What can they say?

Bai Fu said, "Let's go back to the sect first."

The disciples all nodded. Given the current situation, they were also very worried about the Flowing Cloud Sect. Would these people really storm the Flowing Cloud Sect and cause trouble?

A-Qi followed Qiaoqiao, looking at its egg with some reluctance. Seeing its hesitation, A Xue picked up the egg, "Let's go, let's go to the Flowing Cloud Sect to hatch the egg!"

"Put my egg down right now, you damn bird!"

A Xue finally had the chance to hatch the egg, so she tucked it into her bosom and said, "Qiaoqiao, I'll take you back to the sect!"
