The improved female villains regained their memories.

If the villains' den were still intact and the Four Spirits were unharmed, Song Panning would still make some arrangements. But what has already happened cannot be changed, and she must make a decision quickly.

Amidst the roar of cannon fire, she pondered deeply: "Currently, we are not at a complete disadvantage with the Yunmeng Grand Formation. If Li Chumo brings over the royal forces and Su Murong, the lower realm will be in great danger. Yang Pingsheng alone cannot withstand it. Moreover, the five marked divine beasts have not yet appeared. If Li Chumo gathers all his forces together, there is a risk of being completely annihilated."

Li Chumo possessed extraordinary abilities, and she naturally wanted to establish a comprehensive presence within the Guardian Heaven Sect. However, after much deliberation, she decided to have the royal family launch a feigned attack and have Su Murong stay by Yang Pingsheng's side.

She made up her mind to continue fighting with the current people, destroy the Yunmeng Grand Array, kill Ling Tianxin, and seize the Heavenly Gate of the Guardian Sect!

Amidst the chaotic gunfire, she secretly transmitted her voice to Li Chumo.

Boom boom boom!

Round after round of bombardment, the light gradually dimmed.

Soon, the attacking armor ceased its activity and became silent. Having exhausted its energy, it looked like a large lump of iron.

The first to act was Luo Benmo.

She unleashed thousands of crimson lightning bolts once more, striking the net that the Weaver Girl had just used to protect herself from the cannon fire.

Rumble!

The Weaver Girl gritted her teeth, constantly patching up the loopholes, and stubbornly withstood Luo Benmo's attacks.

Seeing that he couldn't open the road, Luo Benmo unleashed his divine power and attacked the divine beasts.

boom!

With a single lash of her whip, she killed a divine beast that had just emerged.

Xu Anlu also charged forward, piercing the strange fish that had extinguished her flames with a single shot.

"Die, you ugly thing!" She activated the Great Dao Mark and decisively killed it.

As soon as the strange fish died, the Milky Way disappeared. She rekindled the flames and, in conjunction with lightning, burned it away.

Hua Yanshu commanded several tree giants to charge forward as well.

Demonic energy, deadly attacks, and dazzling light filled the sky, plunging the battlefield into chaos.

No one noticed that Li Chumo had disappeared.

Beneath the Yunmeng Grand Formation, a spatial gate opened, and Li Chumo slowly stepped out.

The enormous ancient tree with the human face seemed to sense something and trembled incessantly.

"Oh no!" Ling Tianxin's expression changed drastically. She never expected that Song Panning would find the location of the array's core after only solving the first layer of the array.

That enormous ancient tree is not only the eye of the great formation, but also the core of the Wuhe Township secret realm.

With no divine beasts or protagonists nearby to provide support, Ling Tianxin hastily activated the Palm World, but it was neutralized by Li Chumo's Taixu power.

"Hehe, let your grand formation and secret realm collapse together." She was filled with the power of the Primordial Void and slammed her palm towards the ancient tree.

"Stop!" Ling Tianxin roared, her eyes wide with fury.

The palm stopped in front of the tree, unable to go any further.

Time seemed to stand still.

A series of dreamlike colors spread out like waves, and countless butterflies fluttered their wings and flew out.

A white-clad figure stood behind Li Chumo, hands behind his back, smiling as he looked at her.

-------------

Many years ago.

A stone pavilion, a stone table, two people drinking together.

One person spoke, their voice androgynous and indistinct: "I need your help."

The man laughed: "I won't help."

The man ignored them and simply said, "Please go somewhere to sleep."

The man smiled and shook his head: "No, no."

The man then said, "They bet, and I bet too. Yours, I'll bet for you."

The man didn't speak.

After a long pause, he scratched his head and asked, "Are they really your apprentices?"

This time, it was the man's turn to laugh: "All of them."

The man was deep in thought.

After the Dao split into a hundred, everyone held onto one of them, each believing they could take its place.

The Jixia Academy has great ambitions in this regard and is capable of scheming for everything. Although he did not want to get involved, he was naturally marked by the academy due to his birth.

With more and more people placing bets, there are also more and more people getting involved. If possible, men really don't want to get involved.

He knew that the person in front of him had a bigger hand and knew more than the academy. He had only lived for a short time, yet he had stirred up the world and made it extremely unsettled.

Cooperating with the academy is better than cooperating with this person.

As he pondered this, he realized that the wine jar was gradually becoming empty.

The sunset glowed with a drunken hue, and he suddenly had a change of heart, asking, "Just a nap?"

The man nodded: "Just taking a nap."

The man asked, "Where?"

The man said, "Wuhe Township."

That's a really nice place.

The man had no further problems and drank the last bowl of wine.

So, without anyone knowing, the man actually went there and took a nap.

Upon waking, the man remarked, "I truly don't know if the butterfly is me, or I am the butterfly." He then vanished from the world, and no one knows where he went.

-------------

Many years later.

The butterfly landed on Li Chumo's immobile hand.

She looked on in horror, but she just couldn't move.

More and more butterflies surrounded her, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

woohoo-

The sound of a butterfly flapping its wings.

A large swarm of butterflies appeared out of nowhere, flew over the battlefield, flew out of the Yunmeng Grand Array, and landed on the Five Elements Mountain.

The Five Elements Mountain, which had been shaking, suddenly stopped.

Dionysus paused slightly, looking at the butterfly before him.

When the butterfly flaps its wings, the surrounding scenery changes.

An even richer aroma of wine wafted into Dionysus's nostrils.

He sat on the stone chair, watching the man in front of him drinking alone.

The man was disheveled, dissolute, flushed, and hiccuping from drinking.

He smiled at the god of wine, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, and said, “If others think it’s okay, I’ll think it’s okay too; if others think it’s not okay, I’ll think it’s not okay too. Thus, the wondrous function of the Tao in generating all things is formed under the conditions of the convergence of causes and conditions.”

"You are...?" Dionysus asked in a flustered manner.

The man ignored her, and his figure gradually dissipated.

"A drunken stupor is like a grand dream; even if one clings to it, what will become of one once sober?"

Dionysus opened his eyes and looked around in disbelief.

The Five Elements Mountain that had been pressing down on him had long since disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 576 The Truth About the God of Wine

The mansion, located in the capital, is magnificent and is known to all as the residence of a national hero.

The man pushed open the door, subconsciously turned around, looked at his daughter standing reluctantly beside his wife, and then smiled and walked back: "Ling'er, be good, Daddy will be back soon."

The girl pouted unhappily: "Daddy lied. He said that last time, but he didn't come back until the New Year."

The man felt a pang of sadness at his daughter's unhappy expression and couldn't help but say, "Ling'er, Father will definitely not do it this time."

The girl asked, "Really?"

The man nodded: "Really."

"You're not lying to Ling'er?"

"No."

“…Then…” The girl held out her hand: “Daddy, pinky promise.”

The man smiled and held out his hand: "Okay, pinky promise."

The two thumbs, one big and one small, intertwined tightly, making a pact.

-------------

Dionysus stood still.

The butterflies fluttered and danced, not only helping him to break free from the Five Elements Mountain, but also bringing him a great deal of spiritual energy.

His previously depleted spiritual sea was filled with energy, and most mysteriously, he could feel his strength increasing once again, almost reaching its peak.

What just happened was not an illusion, but rather something that a human sage had manipulated.

He stretched his muscles and felt the various changes within his body.

"The ancient sages of humanity..." he murmured, finally appreciating their power.

Dionysus was not from the main world and had little concept of these human ancestors. When the Five Elements Mountain appeared, he was almost in despair.

That move incorporated the essence of the Heavenly Dao; it was a setup Jiang Mochang had made long ago, clearly specifically aimed at him.
