After being away for many years, the residence had become very dilapidated with no one taking care of it... However, it seemed a bit too dilapidated.
Logically speaking, even if he was not here, there would be loyal believers of the ancient gods who would take the initiative to help clean up, so this place should be spotless.
It shouldn't be like it is now, full of holes, like a ruin.
Jiang Ke'er secretly thought that something was wrong and quickly changed her destination and flew towards the coordinates of the Taixu clan.
Before entering the Taixu tribe, she first pulled a believer from the Bridge of Origin.
This is the believer that he personally gave power to fifty-eight years ago.
"Lord, you are finally back!"
When the believer arrived, he burst into tears and showed an ecstatic expression as soon as he saw Jiang Ke'er.
"What's going on? Why is no one taking care of my place?"
"These are the decisions of the president. He said that you have been lost in the cracks of time and will never come back."
"President Leader?" Jiang Ke'er had never heard of such a position in the Ancient Gods' camp. She should be the only President Leader. "Is it Gillette?"
"No, Lord Gilletta died suddenly more than fifty years ago," the believer said, "The new president's name is unknown, but his confidants will call him Yuwen Guoshi."
"..."
Master Yuwen, what a great Master Yuwen is.
The heaven and earth have calculated everything, even the ancient gods are included.
This man even made her feel the same pressure as facing Su Yaya, the Lord of Stars...but she didn't know who would be better.
"How's the Stars doing?"
"Hey..." The believer sighed, "It's no different from before. Qiao Xiaoxian, the new successor to the Lord of the Stars, disappeared with you. Neither side can do anything to the other. Over the years, we have been defending the territory you conquered back then. Several attacks have been ineffective. It's really a disgrace to you..."
"Master Yuwen won't take action?"
"He never asked about border matters, but just asked us to keep collecting some materials and send them to a specific location."
"One last question... where is he now?"
"It should be in the leader's residence. The coordinates are..."
After getting the coordinates, Jiang Ke'er headed towards her destination without haste.
For me, only half an hour had passed since I entered the time rift.
But the changes that took place in just half an hour required some energy to accept.
Although she had only heard general information from believers over the years, she quickly figured out the details behind the information.
"Is it finally out..."
The name that has never appeared but has been everywhere since I came to Shenzhou.
Imperial Master Yuwen.
All of his experiences so far were related to him—the held hostage Heaven, the situation of the demon clan, the seal of the fox clan, the demise of the Netherworld, and even at this moment, a long-planned usurpation of the throne.
Even though I have never met him, everything I have done so far has been a game with him.
He is the only supreme spiritual leader in the hearts of the immortals, but also a vicious opponent who will do anything to achieve his goals.
As I climbed up step by step, I was finally able to fight him in person.
Just like a challenger, after going through untold hardships, he finally climbed onto the stage.
It’s a pity... this champion is not an upright hero.
Lock the coordinates and step out of the portal.
What came into Jiang Keer's eyes was a blue world, with a few green islands dotted in the ocean and an irregular continent in the middle.
If Jiang Ke'er didn't know that the coordinates of Shenzhou were thousands of folds away from here, she would even mistakenly think that she had returned to Shenzhou in the barbaric era.
"sit."
Before Jiang Ke'er entered this world, the master's voice was heard from it.
The man's voice was calm, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Jiang Ke'er looked at the only small pavilion in the center of the continent, which was located on the top of the mountain.
The green color disappeared halfway up the mountain, and further up were slightly sharp rocks. On the top of the mountain, a man sat in a pavilion, overlooking the flowing sea of clouds.
Jiang Ke'er never thought that he would be dressed in rough farmer's clothes.
She landed in the pavilion, and scanned the surroundings with her spiritual sense, only walking into the pavilion after confirming that it was safe.
"Don't be afraid, there is no spiritual energy here..."
The man took off his farmer's hat, let down his greasy hair, and smiled harmlessly at Jiang Ke'er.
He picked up the teapot on the table, poured half a bowl for Jiang Ke'er and half a bowl for himself.
There was not a trace of the gentleness of a scholar in his every move, as if he did not know what tea tasting was. He just roughly poured the tea leaves into the bowl like wine.
Jiang Keer picked up the tea bowl and sniffed it.
This tea is not very fragrant, it is just an ordinary tea.
"This is the tea I grew myself. What do you think?" The man looked at Jiang Ke'er with some anticipation.
"I can't tell the difference between the two kinds of tea," Jiang Ke'er gently sipped the tea, then put the tea bowl down and looked back at the other person, "Are you Yuwen Guoshi? The Yuwen Guoshi from Shenzhou?"
"It's me," the man nodded frankly.
“It’s a little different from the stone statue.”
The stone statue shows Master Yuwen with an extraordinary temperament and a defiant look, as if there is no opponent in the world worthy of his attention.
But the Master Yuwen here is different. He is introverted and although he is still arrogant, he is a little more lazy.
The man smiled and said, "The stone statue in the Jiexian Palace? That was me when I was young and killed the Heavenly Dao. I was too weak at that time. When facing a strong enemy, I naturally had to go all out... But when facing you, of course I don't have to."

"You can be so confident in the face of the ancient gods. It seems that you are very confident." Jiang Ke'er said, not caring about the man's contempt.
"Whether a person is strong or not does not depend on his ability to destroy the world," the man looked at Jiang Ke'er, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. "The towering tower looks magnificent, but you only need to cut off one of the foundations and it will collapse on its own. Powerful forces are not difficult to deal with. What is difficult is those guys without flaws - but you are still too young."
He stood up, refilled Jiang Ke'er's bowl of cold tea, and put on his hat again.
There was a hoe placed next to the pavilion, and he picked up the hoe and walked down the mountain.
Jiang Keer noticed that the location here was very unique. On one side of the mountain was lush farmland, and on the other side was a wilderness that was in urgent need of reclamation.
The imperial teacher walked into the wilderness, picked up a hoe, cut off the roots of the weeds one by one, and turned the soil over to expose it to the sun.
As he moved slowly and leisurely, neat furrows spread further away.
If you encounter weeds, cut them.
If you come across a forest, set it on fire.
He dug canals and brought clean water from the river to irrigate the land, turning this place into what he had expected.
It was not until the scorching sun gradually set and the sky was filled with glittering rays of light that he put down his hoe and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He looked at the fields he had just reclaimed and smiled with satisfaction.
"Awaited."
Master Yuwen went to the fields to pick some fruits and vegetables, washed and cut them himself, and brought them back to Jiang Keer.
He is considerate and gentle, like a kind older brother next door... and in his eyes, Jiang Ke'er is just an ordinary little girl.
He didn't think there was any difference in strength or status between the two, or in other words... he didn't think Jiang Ke'er could pose any threat to him.
Jiang Ke'er was not in a hurry either.
If the other party treats her with courtesy, she will return the favor.
She picked up the apricot and bit it gently with an elegant gesture.
"I never thought that one day I would be able to eat fruits picked by Master Yuwen himself," Jiang Ke'er couldn't help but sigh.
"It's hard to predict what will happen in this world," said Yuwen Guoshi with a hearty smile. "As your last meal, these fruits do seem a bit shabby... But there's nothing I can do. No one is perfect, and I'm not very good at cooking."
"Oh? No problem."
Jiang Ke'er smiled faintly, and the sword flashed, and some vegetables on the table were rearranged and placed on clean white porcelain plates, interspersed with some of the minced meat, grains and a small amount of seasoning she had newly added.
"please."
This dish was not much different from the table of fruits and vegetables that Master Yuwen had originally provided, and both looked very simple.
But when Master Yuwen scooped up the stew-like substance with a spoon and put it into his mouth, his eyes lit up and he showed a look of shock.
He enjoyed the delicious food spoon by spoon with great relish, and said with emotion: "It would be a pity to kill you, but... you have to die."
"Really? Then what do you think about this being the last meal of your life?" Jiang Ke'er asked back.
"It's worth it." Master Yuwen nodded and said.
"That's good," Jiang Ke'er nibbled on an apricot, "But I'm still curious about one thing, so I'd like to ask the Imperial Master to help me solve it."
"What are you curious about?"
"Everything has its cause and purpose, but what are you doing for?" Jiang Ke'er frowned, "Live as long as the heavens? Not likely. Prosperity of humanity? Not likely."
"Hmm..." The man groaned for a moment, "It's normal that you can't understand. I often feel puzzled myself. However, there is one thing you need to know..."
"Oh?"
"I hate reincarnation," the man looked at Jiang Ke'er, his eyes gradually shrank, his gaze turned cold, and a fierce light floated in his eyes, "I hope you don't have the idea of resuming reincarnation."
"Unfortunately, today is the day I rebuild my reincarnation cycle." Jiang Ke'er sighed, "It seems that a battle between you and me is inevitable."
"fighting?"
Yuwen Guoshi chuckled and shook his head: "No, you think too much. There is no need to fight. I can't beat the ancient god in his prime... but..."
"...I don't even need a knife to kill you."
His voice was steady and confident, and every word he said sounded like fact.
Jiang Ke'er raised her legs and leaned against the fence of the pavilion, her curvy figure stretched out, her dark pupils narrowed slightly, revealing a bit of disdain: "Just relying on the half soul you got from the Taixu clan's treasure house?"
"Is it not enough?" Master Yuwen picked up a date and put it in his mouth. "If it was the other half of the soul, it would not be enough, but this soul has been carefully selected... The half that carries all your beautiful emotions is enough."
"..."
"It was with my help that Gilletta found a way to subdue the ancient god. I know your weaknesses very well," said Yuwen Guoshi with a smile. "I always know which part of the soul hides more beauty, which part is more agile and solid. It is these parts that keep the soul stable over the long years and prevent it from being swallowed by evil spirits...
If what I suspected is true, all the memories of you and your loved ones are hidden there."
Master Yuwen reached out and took out a crystal ball from the void.
In the crystal ball, a small soul body was entangled with dense chains. That soul body was exactly the same as Jiang Keer.
Two of the chains were connected to the surface of the crystal ball and seemed to lead to an unknown place.
Jiang Keer stood up, and the chains on her ankles jingled.
"It seems that the Taixu tribe has been destroyed by you." She sighed softly.
"That's right," the Imperial Master nodded, "A race dominated by eternal hunger shouldn't exist. Now that I have my things back, there's no need to keep them."
"No wonder you kept me trapped for more than fifty years." Jiang Ke'er seemed to be thinking about something. "If I were here, you would never be able to sneak into the treasure house of the Taixu Clan in your lifetime."
"The only thing that can hold back the Ancient God is the rift of time," the Imperial Master said with a smile, playing with the crystal ball in his hand. "If it was a perfect being like Epsilon, it would be meaningless even if I took 90% of his soul... Unfortunately, it's you now. As an Ancient God, you have too many weaknesses."
"Really?" Jiang Ke'er sighed softly, "I don't even know what my weaknesses are. Tell me about them."
"Unlike Epsilon, who was born an ancient god and has long been numb, you are afraid that you will become as lonely and numb as Epsilon," the national teacher looked at Jiang Ke'er in the crystal ball intoxicatedly, "so you cherish these friendships, the relationship between master and disciple, and love... Look, such a condensed light, I rarely see so much sensibility, this is the most precious light of life.
Without it, man becomes a walking corpse like Epsilon."
"Ah... you're right..."
Jiang Keer sighed softly.
She drew her sword.
