Upon hearing this, Feng Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "I thought my idea was brilliant, but I didn't expect... sigh."

Jing Mu couldn't bear to discourage him at this moment, so he could only comfort him, "It's alright, you still have a good heart."

Feng Yu understood that this was just a consolation and had no real effect, so he didn't take it to heart. After chatting for a few more minutes, he left.

The dark room gradually grew dim again.

...

"How did your talks go? Did Uncle Jing agree?"

Upon seeing Zhou Mu emerge, Lu Shan hurriedly went over and asked.

Zhou Mu shook his head, glanced at Jiang Jinyu, and then quickly looked away. "No."

Clearly, there was something else going on here. Lu Shan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly recovered and said, "Is there really no way at all?"

At this moment, he slowly looked at Jiang Jinyu and said, "Since that's the case, then it's just you and me going. Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."

Jiang Jinyu said calmly, "That's not what I'm worried about. If things don't work out in the end, how difficult will the situation be for the Great Thousand World?"

About fifteen minutes later.

Jiang Jinyu and Lu Shan stood on the same formation they had been using.

Zhou Mu and the others stood aside, all watching intently, while Zhang Ling'er already showed a worried expression.

"It's alright, I'm just going through the motions, don't worry too much." Lu Shan comforted Zhang Ling'er, whose doe-like eyes still evoked a sense of pity in those who saw her.

"I'll go with you."

This was the fifth time Zhang Ling'er had brought it up.

As before, Lu Shan refused without hesitation.

Even though he is now a spirit god, one of the most powerful people in the world, he still lacks the confidence to protect her in that unknown world.

After all, concern can cloud judgment, and he would instantly lose his composure if Zhang Ling'er suffered even the slightest harm, which would be fatal for someone in a dangerous situation.

Therefore, for the safety of these individuals, we absolutely cannot allow any factors that could lead to unforeseen circumstances to occur.

"I'll wait for you to come back," Zhang Ling'er said softly.

Lu Shan nodded silently, suppressing the tears welling in his eyes. He quickly turned away, his back to Lu Shan, afraid that even the slightest eye contact would soften his heart.

Unlike last time, this time it is naturally extremely dangerous. Not to mention whether they will be able to meet the Dragon Emperor Ancestor smoothly, even if they do meet him, if they say the wrong thing and incur the wrath of the thunder, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Lu Shan took a long breath. Although he looked very ordinary, he possessed spiritual power, but the surging power around him was so strong that even the space itself could not withstand it.

"Are you ready?"

Then Long Kui spoke.

Several people nodded.

The next moment, Long Kui waved his hand, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy poured out. As the dazzling spiritual light flashed, a dazzling light screen suddenly bloomed, blinding everyone.

The two figures disappeared.

After a moment of darkness, Jiang Jinyu opened her eyes in a daze. What came into view was a barren desert where not a blade of grass grew. The yellowish-brown soil was exposed, showing the most primitive appearance of nature.

"Is this the ancient battlefield?"

Jiang Jinyu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Clearly, as the only person to arrive here, Long Kui had told the two everything about this place when he first entered. However, how similar their understanding would be to today's situation remained to be seen.

Lu Shan quickly came to his senses and then looked around warily.

Apart from the vast desert, he could almost sense a trace of life, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that we've come to the wrong place?"

Jiang Jinyu shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. Let's look carefully."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a rumbling, shaking sound came from not far away, as if a huge creature was dragging across the ground.

The group stared intently, and a colossal monster, as large as a mountain, appeared before them.

It was a rather strange monster, with a human body, but a fat head, big ears, a sharp snout, tusks, and the head of a wild boar.

Moreover, the aura emanating from that monster was almost overwhelming.

Lu Shan is now considered a spirit god, but he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resisting that monster. In other words, the monster's power far surpassed his own.

"It seems this is our fate."

Lu Shan sighed, then looked at Jiang Jinyu and said, "I'll hold him off. You hurry up and leave, the sooner the better. I'm not entirely confident I can deal with him."

Jiang Jinyu shook her head, looking at the monster with a gentle expression, a strange light emanating from her eyes, "I feel he won't hurt me."

Why?

As the monster drew closer, Lu Shan grew increasingly nervous. However, upon hearing Jiang Jinyu's words, he was still somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Jinyu couldn't explain it either, she just kept shaking her head and staring straight at the monster, "Intuition."

Sure enough, as the monster rumbled along and drew closer, the two realized that there was a person standing on the monster's shoulder. That person was none other than the Dragon Emperor, the chief disciple of the Creator God, whom they had seen earlier.

"You're here again?"

The Dragon Emperor was clearly surprised by the appearance of the two. The next moment, he leaped down and landed in front of them. The instant his gaze met Jiang Jinyu's, his expression softened.

The change was almost immediately obvious.

Perhaps it was because he had been away from the human race for too long that he had become somewhat naive and no longer cared about managing his facial expressions. Or perhaps, at his level, there was no need for him to engage in such superficial things.

Lu Shan wisely kept quiet.

Jiang Jinyu smiled and said, "Ancestor, the purpose of our visit is to ask for your help. The ancestor of the extraterrestrial demons, the Evil God, has appeared, and we cannot defeat him."

As he finished speaking, a somewhat aggrieved expression appeared on his face.

The Dragon Emperor couldn't resist such coquettishness and immediately declared with boundless pride, "Alright, I'll go with you."

Lu Shan never dreamed that things would be accomplished so easily. He stared blankly at Jiang Jinyu, and only now did he fully understand the meaning behind Jing Mu's words earlier.

The group walked outside, but at that moment, an unexpected change occurred. Just as the Dragon Emperor's body suddenly radiated brilliant light, a powerful force enveloped him, followed by a cold voice.

"You should not meddle in the affairs of this vast world."
