"call……"

Gu Wenxun let out a long breath, slowly stood up from the ground, and patted the dust off his clothes.

He walked towards Chen Dou, a perfectly timed gentle smile appearing on his face.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

Chen Dou didn't look up, only managing to squeeze out a very soft "Thank you."

His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk water in a long time.

"No need to thank me, I was just passing by and did it on a whim."

Gu Wenxun waved his hand, his tone relaxed, "Speaking of which, your sister is really lucky to have survived."

"Even though the physical body is gone, I was able to retrieve several fragments of the soul, and surprisingly, the consciousness was still preserved."

Chen Dou remained silent, not responding, but tightened his grip on Chen Ya's arms.

"However, these few talismans of mine won't last long," Gu Wenxun said.

He paused deliberately, observing Chen Dou's reaction.

Chen Dou finally raised his head, his eyes filled with urgency:

"What should we do then?"

"There is a way," Gu Wenxun stepped forward again, "but it requires some extremely precious things."

"What is it?" Chen Dou blurted out almost immediately.

Gu Wenxun smiled, not in a hurry to answer, but instead slowly took two steps.

"To put it bluntly, your sister's current condition is like several fragments of her soul being forcibly kneaded together, making her even more fragile than a porcelain doll."

"If we want her to last, we need to find at least one spiritual object that can nourish the soul. For example, Yin God Wood, Resurrection Grass, Ghost Mother Flower, Nine Nether Lotus—these are all options."

"But these things are all extremely rare treasures in the cultivation world. Some of them I have only heard of by name and have never seen in person."

"If this drags on any longer, and the power of these talismans is exhausted, your sister will really not be able to come back."

Chen Dou gritted his teeth, his eyes swirling with intense emotions.

"Where to look?"

Gu Wenxun's smile grew even more amiable.

"As you know, I am a demon from beyond the realms. I don't need to elaborate on how sensitive my identity is in the Three Realms."

"I'm also looking for a way. After all, it's difficult for me to move around alone. If you'd like to come with me..."

"I'll help you find the things you need to resurrect your sister, and in return, you do me a few things, okay?"

Chen Dou was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

"It's a deal," Gu Wenxun said with a smile. "By the way, can you tell me what kind of cultivation technique you practice? You don't need to know the details, just the name and general direction of the technique will do. I don't mean anything by it."

Chen Dou glanced down at his younger sister in his arms, then looked at Gu Wenxun and uttered three words:

"Gods and Demons Devour the Heavens".

Gu Wenxun remained outwardly calm, but deep within his eyes, a fierce fire seemed to ignite in that instant.

Gods and demons devour the heavens.

This name alone suggests it's no ordinary item.

He took a deep breath and swallowed back the laugh that was about to burst out of his throat.

"Not bad technique," he said, his tone still kind, even with a hint of emotion. "It's just that your technique is too vicious. Unless absolutely necessary, try not to show it to others."

Chen Dou did not respond.

Gu Wenxun didn't mind and continued, "I have a cultivation technique here that I can pass on to you to help you suppress the demonic energy in your body. Consider it payment for my help earlier."

He said it so naturally.

It was so natural that it seemed as if he had simply helped the other person out of the blue and then casually offered a small favor.

Chen Dou did not refuse.

He definitely needs a way to suppress the demonic energy.

The seal Yun Yi placed on him has shattered, and if the demonic energy within him were to run rampant again, he fears he might do something irreversible.

Seeing that he did not refuse, Gu Wenxun's lips curled up slightly. He casually picked a decent cultivation method from his memory, flicked his finger, and a ray of spiritual light entered Chen Dou's brow.

Chen Dou's body trembled slightly, and after a moment he nodded at him.

Gu Wenxun's smile deepened.

He knew that Chen Dou was gradually beginning to trust him.

No rush, take your time.

He wants it all: cultivation techniques, those who defy fate, and this world.

……

skyline.

The deepest part of the Heavenly Palace.

Above the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortals gathered.

The once solemn and majestic hall was now shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.

The Heavenly Emperor sat serenely on his throne, his expression calm and revealing no emotion.

The calmer it was, the less the priests in the hall dared to make a sound.

After a long silence, the Heavenly Emperor slowly spoke.

The voice echoed in the hall, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Since the beginning of our celestial realm, spanning 108,000 years, no extraterrestrial demon has ever infiltrated so deeply."

"Since the Emperor ordered a thorough investigation, in just a few days, thousands of demons and evil spirits have been found in the Heavenly Realm, and countless more in the mortal realm."

"If we continue to let this go unchecked, it may shake the very foundation of our Three Realms."

The Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes and his gaze swept over the immortals in the hall.

"Issue my decree."

"Open the Heavenly Gate and establish the Heavenly Patrol Office."

"Dispatch twelve heavenly generals and thirty-six heavenly officials to descend to the mortal realm immediately and wipe out the extraterrestrial demons."

"Those of all clans and tribes in the lower realm who do not comply shall be punished with the same crime."

"Furthermore, this is to inform all sect leaders: if anyone dares to collude with extraterrestrial demons, do not blame the Heavenly Laws for being merciless."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall responded in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens.

The Heavenly Emperor paused, then added:

"This matter will be fully supervised by True Lord Xuantian."

A white figure emerged from the ranks of immortals.

He was a young man who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a white robe as white as snow, and so handsome as to be almost unreal.

His phoenix eyes were slightly lowered, as if he had no interest in anything.

But the moment he raised his eyes, it seemed as if a thousand stars were flowing in his pupils, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

"Xuantian accepts the order."

The voice was cold and clear, like the eternal ice of the far north, echoing in every corner of the hall.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at him and nodded.

"Go."

Xuan Tian Zhenjun turned around and led the twelve heavenly generals and thirty-six heavenly officials out of the main hall.

Heavenly Gate, open.

A massive portal of light, stretching across the sky, slowly opened above the clouds.

The sunlight poured down, illuminating the mountains and rivers below as if it were daytime.

Countless beings looked up at the sky, their pupils reflecting the all-encompassing light, and the same thought arose in their hearts—

The world has changed.

……

Deep within the demon realm, in a secret chamber.

Yun Yi sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing long and shallow, his aura almost merging with the heavens and earth.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the laws of space are like countless transparent threads, interwoven into a net; the laws of time are like a long river with no beginning and no end.

The two are interdependent, moving slowly in motion.

He is trying to incorporate both time and space into a complete framework.

This is far more difficult than comprehending a single law.

If the laws of space are like drawing an infinitely large blueprint, and the laws of time are like deducing a never-ending long line, then comprehending both at the same time is like folding the blueprint and the line together and stuffing them into the same box.

Yun Yi didn't know how far he could go on this path, but he was very clear that once he succeeded—even if it was just a preliminary fusion—the level he could reach would leap by an order of magnitude.

Just then, his body trembled violently.

The network of laws above his head, which was originally only visible to him, was violently stirred up as if by a giant hand descending from the heavens.

The space trembled like a shattered mirror.

Time surged like a river surface tossed with a boulder.

Yun Yi opened his eyes instantly.

The body instinctively went into a state of alert, and the aura around the body solidified.

The six-year-old child's appearance remained unchanged, but a cold light had already begun to shine deep within his eyes.

He looked up.

Without any secret techniques, the world had already changed in his vision.

The sky cracked open.

Yun Yi frowned slightly.

This is the Heavenly Gate.

The Heavenly Palace descended directly to the mortal realm.

Moreover, judging from the intensity and location of that aura, there were quite a few people on the other side, all of them elites from the Heavenly Realm.

Before he could think it through, a furious, almost distorted roar suddenly erupted from outside the secret chamber—

"who--!"

"Who dared to touch my Crimson Dragon—!"

"I'm going to fucking kill you—!"
