Yun Yi remained silent, staring intently at Ji Wujiu.

Ji Wujiu shuddered, gave an awkward laugh, and ran off with the box, disappearing into the alley behind the bus stop.

Yunyi rolled up the car window.

"Old Li, let's go."

Old Li didn't respond, but simply pressed the accelerator smoothly.

The car slowly glided out of the intersection and merged into the traffic.

Yunyi leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

All that could be heard was the deep hum of the engine, the faint sound of air from the air conditioning vents, and the even breathing of the girl beside me.

She was still curled up in her doppelganger's arms, her floral skirt crumpled up, her bare feet sticking out, the soles of her feet covered in the reddish-brown sand of the desert.

She gripped his silver robe so tightly that it created several deep creases, her fingernails digging into the fabric, as if afraid he would suddenly disappear.

Yun Yi looked at it for a moment, then closed his eyes again.

The car drove through the twilight, heading south towards the city.

……

Southwest China, the vast and desolate mountain range.

Deep within the stone hall, two orbs of light, one silver-white and the other gold-red, hung in mid-air, slowly rotating.

Suddenly, both orbs of light flashed violently at the same time.

"She moved."

Tai Cang's voice emanated from the silvery-white light, deep and resonant with a metallic quality.

"I know." A voice came from Tian Dou's golden-red light, much calmer than expected.

"Strange, why is He so attached to that extraterrestrial demon?"

"I don't know. But this is a good thing for us."

"What?"

"It means that He has something to do, which will greatly slow down His recovery."

Tian Dou fell silent.

Taicang continued, "No matter why He is attached to that extraterrestrial demon, as long as He truly chooses this person, it is the best thing for us."

Tian Dou remained silent for an even longer time.

"This is indeed a good thing."

"But that's a demon from outer space, aren't you worried...?"

"Don't worry."

"We only have three years left to recover. Could it be that the extraterrestrial demons will grow strong enough to fight us within those three years?"

Tian Dou remained silent.

The stone palace returned to darkness.

Only two dim orbs of light remained, slowly swirling in the darkness, like two stars about to go out.

……

By the time the car entered the garage of the Yun family villa, it was completely dark.

Yunyi got out of the car, and his clone carried the girl and followed behind.

The villa was dark and quiet, like an empty house.

Yunyi pushed open the door, and the motion-sensor light in the entryway turned on, illuminating the corridor with a warm yellow glow.

He changed his shoes and walked into the living room—it was empty, with cushions neatly stacked.

There was a note on the coffee table, written in Yun Jin's handwriting:

"Mom's gone to do charity work again, and Dad's gone to the National Security Bureau. Yao Yao and I are at the training base; we might not be back for a month. There's food in the fridge, so don't stay up late. —Sister"

After reading it, Yunyi folded the note and put it in his pocket.

My mother is too old to act anymore, and now she does charity work everywhere.

My dad used so many gene-enhancing drugs, and with his decent superpowers, he was able to become the head of the National Security Bureau when the country was recruiting talent—making him arguably the top official in China.

He turned to look at the girl in his arms.

She still appeared to be in a half-dreaming, half-awake state.

After a long silence, he spoke:

Do we know each other?

The girl tilted her head, yawned, and looked confused.

"I don't know. But I like it."

Yun Yi stared at her for three more seconds, then finally sighed.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he really felt like he had known this girl for a long time—at first he thought it was because of her influence, but he gradually realized that was not the case.

As for why, he himself didn't know.

He also took to heart what Ji Wujiu said about the "Paradise of Reincarnation".

He used his connections to check the girl's age, and the result showed that she was just one month old.

He didn't suspect that the other party was hiding their age, but rather had a guess—this girl really was only one month old.

If this conjecture is true, then the actions prior to "Mandate of Heaven" can be explained.

After all, he was once regarded as a destiny, and the entry did indeed play a role—it's just that too few people believed in it, and he only received a meager amount of destiny's fortune.

Although it may be few, if the other party is truly destined, they will surely be able to sense it.

If this destiny has just reached its full moon, and one happens to possess the destiny's fortune... then it makes sense that she would seek out and depend on one.

This also explains why he was completely unprepared for this destiny, and even felt a sense of familiarity with it.

Although Yun Yi still felt that the reason was somewhat far-fetched, he had no better explanation at the moment.

……

Time slips away quietly amidst our busy lives.

Filming for the movie "Wan Su Dao Jun" is progressing steadily.

Director Chen's team this time is more professional and efficient than the previous two films, and the progress is faster than expected.

Yun Yi's role is concentrated in the origin chapter of "Wan Su Dao Jun" - how an ancient deity who has existed since the beginning of the universe and witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations grows from a wisp of consciousness into a supreme being who controls the laws of time.

The film crew traveled to deserts, snow-capped mountains, deep seas, and polar regions.

Every scene was carefully selected to recreate the grand and desolate scenes in the script.

Yun Yi's performance was as impeccable as ever, even more mature than in the previous two installments.

Director Chen sometimes stares blankly at the monitor.

"This kid...is he really only fifteen?"

He has remarked to those around him more than once, "His eyes, that sense of vicissitude that comes from 'having lived through countless eras,' are not an act."

"It doesn't seem like an act at all."

"It's as if he really lived that long."

No one responded.

During breaks in filming, Yunyi would rest in the RV.

The girl was brought to the film set—from day one.

Occasionally, when people visited the set and saw this scene, they all assumed it was Yunyi's sister or relative and no one asked any further questions.

As for the few who knew the truth, they didn't say much.

……

After filming ended that day, Yunyi took a car back to the hotel.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and suddenly opened them.

Outside the car window, a dark red beam of light shot straight up from the ground into the sky, turning most of the sky blood-red.

The beam of light, thick as a giant pillar supporting the sky, rose from the horizon, pierced through the clouds, and plunged into the dark void beyond the atmosphere, like a nail driven into the heavens.

The oppressive feeling contained within the light was suffocating—a violent, destructive power, as if it wanted to crush the entire world, was spreading in all directions from that pillar of light.

Old Li stepped on the brakes.

The car was parked in the emergency lane of the highway.

Old Li rolled down the car window and leaned out, his face pale. His lips moved slightly as he asked, "Teacher Yun, what is that...?"

Yun Yi didn't speak, but just stared at the dark red pillar of light, his pupils reflecting the reddened sky.

Ji Wujiu made his move.

It was faster than expected. And it was more ruthless than he had anticipated.

That dark red beam of light didn't represent ordinary power—it was world-destroying divine power, or at least it looked like it.

Yun Yi took a deep breath and sank his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The light pearl of Xi Sheng Yuan Tong and the divine essence of Tai Cang Xi Zhi lit up at the same time, with warm gold and cold silver intertwining to form a rotating halo.

His senses extended along the beam of light, spanning hundreds of kilometers, until they reached the source of that power.

"..."

He was silent.

That world-destroying divine power, on the surface, seemed to be capable of destroying the heavens and the earth and was invincible, but its core was as thin as a sheet of paper, easily pierced—purely a visual effect. Its true destructive power was probably equivalent to the full-force attack of a Golden Core cultivator.

Ji Wujiu is working on the visual effects.

Yun Yi withdrew his senses, leaned back in his seat, and smiled slightly.

But I have to say, that guy is a real talent.

It's amazing that such a massive visual effect can be created simply by using the spiritual power of the Golden Core.
