Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

Just as the main god was frozen in place.

Another equally enormous hand reached out from the other side of the earth.

This hand made a very simple movement.

Finger.

One shot.

"collapse!"

A flick on the forehead that could turn the stars upside down.

It hit the God right on the forehead.

"Smack!!!"

The main god didn't even have time to scream.

He transformed into a beam of white light and flew out of the solar system.

It shattered countless meteorites and disappeared into the vast depths of the universe.

After doing all this.

The two large hands slowly withdrew.

They retreated back into Earth's interior with Li Fan and his remaining troops.

The crack closed.

The Earth returned to calm.

It was as if nothing had happened.

…………

I don't know how much time has passed.

Li Fan woke up.

He felt pain all over his body.

But he is still alive.

"Where is this...?"

Li Fan struggled to open his eyes.

What greets the eye is a sea of ​​green.

The ancient tree grows tall and tall, and each leaf is bigger than a person.

An ancient and profound atmosphere permeated the air.

This aura is neither spiritual nor demonic.

Rather, it is a more primal and pure power, divine power.

Li Fan struggled to sit up.

He checked his body.

The demonic energy and cultivation level remain.

But the body's internal organs are also riddled with holes, and the meridians are like a tangled mess.

If you were to forcibly circulate demonic energy at this moment, it would probably burst like a balloon on the spot.

"It'll need to rest for a while."

Li Fan gave a wry smile.

He turned his head and looked around.

The Frog Taoist had transformed into a tiny frog the size of a palm, lying sprawled on a leaf, fast asleep, its belly rising and falling with each breath.

The dragon demon had transformed into a small black gecko, its broken horn looking particularly comical as it lay on a rock basking in the sun.

Hades, on the other hand, was a wisp of black mist that was about to dissipate, huddled in a tree hole, trembling with fear.

As for Taiyi's bead and Niannian's lantern, they were placed beside Li Fan.

"It's good that everyone is alive."

Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where there is life, there is hope."

Suddenly, a loud cry rang out from the sky.

Li Fan looked up.

His pupils immediately contracted.

There were ten suns hanging in the sky!

But it's not hot; instead, it gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.

A golden three-legged raven is soaring through the clouds, dragging one of the suns behind it.

"A three-legged golden crow? Ten suns soaring in the sky?"

Li Fan was stunned.

"Where is this... a mythological world?"

He then looked at the distant mountains.

A winged tiger is chasing a nine-headed serpent.

A turtle carrying a mountain on its back is drinking water by the river.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Li Fan rubbed his eyes.

"Have I traveled back to ancient times?"

"Hehe, little one, you have good eyesight."

A mocking voice suddenly rang out behind him.

Li Fan tensed up.

Instinctively, it wanted to unleash demonic energy to retaliate.

"hiss."

The excruciating pain made him gasp and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Don't move, don't move."

"It will explode if you move it again."

Li Fan turned his head.

He saw a little old man riding a donkey looking at him with a smile.

The old man was dressed in simple clothes and was holding a cane.

He is not tall.

He looks like an old man sunbathing at the entrance of a village.

But the donkey beneath him was eyeing Li Fan sideways.

"Who are you?"

Li Fan asked cautiously.

"I?"

The old man stroked his beard.

"Just call me the Earth God."

"The Earth God?"

Li Fan was stunned for a moment.

"The one from Journey to the West?"

"Pooh!"

The old man spat.

"That was all made up by later generations."

"I am a proper local deity."

He jumped off the donkey's back.

It circled around Li Fan twice.

He pinched his nose as he turned around.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

"It stinks."

"Full of demonic energy."

"Hey kid, you're so young, why are you learning such low-class skills instead of studying properly?"

Li Fan frowned.

"What's wrong with the demon?"

"Power is neither good nor bad; the power that can kill is good power."

"Hey, you're pretty stubborn."

The land official tapped Li Fan on the head with his cane.

"However, although it smells a bit bad, it's quite tough."

"The battle outside just now was fought with some fighting spirit."

"They didn't bring shame to China."

Li Fan's heart stirred.

"Outside? Do you know what's happening outside?"

"That giant hand...was that your doing?"

"I?"

The Earth God rolled his eyes.

"How could an old man like me have that ability?"

"That was done by a big shot from above."

He pointed to the sky.

"As for this place..."

The Earth God spread his arms wide, looking proud.

"Welcome to the Realm of Mountains and Seas."

"That is what you mortals call... the Land of the Hidden Gods."

"The Land of the Hidden Gods?"

Li Fan struggled to his feet.

Why?

Why are you hiding here?

"That so-called supreme god is swaggering around outside, threatening to destroy the Earth. Why didn't you intervene sooner?"

"Do you really have to wait until I'm about to die before you save me?"

Li Fan's tone was filled with resentment.

If they had acted sooner, Nian Nian wouldn't have died, and Tai Yi wouldn't have shattered.

The Earth God put away his playful smile.

He looked at Li Fan.

His eyes became deep and weathered.

"Little one, do you think we don't want to go out?"

"We're hiding here not because we're afraid of that damn god."

"That thing is a piece of trash; I could smash it to death with my cane."

"Then why?!"

Li Fan roared.

"For the sake of mortals."

The Earth God sighed.

"For you."

"For the sake of... creativity."

"Creativity?" Li Fan was stunned.

"That's right."

The Earth God found a rock and sat down.

"In ancient times, humans and gods lived together."

"Back then, when ordinary people encountered difficulties, they would pray to the gods."

"When the sky leaked, Nuwa patched it up."

"The floods were brought under control by Yu the Great."

"When there are too many suns, Hou Yi shoots them down."

"Mortals live under the protection of God, which is safe but also...useless."

"They have lost the ability to think, the courage to explore, and the spark of creativity."

"If things continue like this, humanity will forever remain merely God's pets."

"so."

The Earth God looked at Li Fan.

"The gods have made a decision."

"Severing the connection between heaven and earth".

"Self-exile".

"We have sealed all the divine power and miracles, and even the myths themselves, within this realm of mountains and seas."

"Return the Earth to mortals."

"Let ordinary people create, make mistakes, and grow on their own."

"Although the process is painful and you may take detours."

"But only in this way can humanity truly stand up."

Li Fan fell silent.

He never expected the truth to be like this.

Those myths that disappeared were actually because of... love.

A kind of love that lets children fly on their own.

"And what about the supreme god?"

Li Fan asked.

"That guy's going to destroy the Earth!"

"it?"

The Earth God curled his lip in disdain.

"That was an accident."

"It was originally a whetstone left by a great figure to future generations to forge time travelers."

"Who knew this stone had become a spirit, and developed a rebellious nature, wanting to become its master."

"The reason we didn't just destroy it is because... this is also part of the test."

"test?"

"right."

The Earth God pointed at Li Fan.

"If a god were to intervene, it would violate the original intention of the Severing Heaven and Earth Alliance."

"Mortals must solve their own troubles."

"And you, or someone else, who will wake up."

"That chosen one... the game-changer."

Li Fan pointed to his own nose.

"I?"

"A demon?"

"You've chosen a villain as your savior?"

"What's wrong with the demon?"

The Earth God chuckled.

"Demons are also the Way."

"Besides, although you are full of demonic energy, your heart..."

He pointed to the missing person poster in Li Fan's arms.

"It's still hot."

That's enough.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

The Earth God stood up and patted the dirt off his backside.

"You want to save your girlfriend?"

"Want to fix your round plate?"

"Want to go out and beat that pale-faced god to a pulp?"

"think."

Li Fan did not hesitate.

"Then come with me."

The Earth God rode a donkey.

"This is the boundary between mountains and seas."

Everything you need is here.

"But there's no such thing as a free lunch."

"If you want power and divine objects, you have to earn them through your own abilities."

"This is the path to godhood."

"It's also a... deadly road."

"Do you dare?"

Li Fan smiled.

"lead the way."

"Old man."
