Meanwhile, as the Star God and Li Yuan were locked in fierce combat, a red light suddenly appeared in the west—a light that only appears when a deity reveals their true form.

That direction... is towards the Flower Goddess...

not good!

At that moment, the Star God could no longer care about Li Yuan and transformed into golden light, flying directly towards the source of the light.

Li Yuan followed behind.

When the Star God arrived, he saw that his daughter had already transformed into a lotus, and on one side was the pale-faced Flower Goddess.

Li Yuan arrived shortly after, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Strange, why is there the aura of my bloodline here..."

"Your bloodline? Could it be..." The Star God suddenly remembered that the barrier had just been opened. He had initially thought it was Lian'er, but now that Li Yuan had mentioned it, and considering the current situation...

It's obvious that the barrier has been broken and someone has stolen the twin lotus flowers!

Li Yuan's bloodline... that's impossible!

Li Yuan, the Lord of the Li Continent Realm, married one wife and had only one son. There's no record of him having any other blood relatives outside the realm... As for that son, he's only a baby, so it couldn't be him...

The Star God had considered the possibility that Li Yuan, desperate to save his wife, had used a "luring the tiger away from the mountain" tactic to deliberately provoke him into war, and then send someone to seize the twin lotus flowers.

However, upon seeing Li Yuan's surprised and suspicious expression, clearly not knowing why he possessed Li Yuan's bloodline aura, he ruled out Li Yuan.

It seems we'll have to ask the Flower Goddess later to find out.

The two stopped fighting and each guarded their own corner.

This continued for three days and three nights.

The red light faded.

The Flower Goddess slowly emerged, holding a lotus flower with lingering red light in her palm—that was the true form of the Lotus Goddess.

Holding the flowers, she moved step by step, casting spells with both hands. With a wave of her hand, a flower-lined path appeared in the distance. She gently placed the lotus in her palm and then took out a crystal-clear spirit pearl from the inner chamber. This spirit pearl could accelerate the growth of the lotus. After doing this, she looked towards the Star God.

They gazed at each other, their silence speaking volumes.

Li Yuan quickly stepped forward, hesitating and unsure how to begin...

The twin lotus flowers were lost, and the main reason was him...

The Flower Goddess glanced at him, ignored him, and turned to the Star Goddess, saying, "They are from the Demon Realm."

"The Demon Realm..." The Star God lowered his head in deep thought.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, was so surprised that he couldn't speak. "How could this be... how could this be... impossible... impossible..." He seemed to be possessed, his eyes wide open, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet.

Only after being questioned by the Star God and the Flower God did the gods realize that they had been tricked by the people of the Demon Realm.

It turned out that the person who told Li Yuan that his wife could be saved was actually a person from the demon realm disguised as a "guest from the Li Continent." That day—

"Lord of the Realm, we have guests visiting outside," the gatekeeper reported respectfully.

"I won't see you," Li Yuan replied decisively.

He was preoccupied with his wife's affairs and had no interest in seeing any visitors.

"Lord of the Realm, the messenger says he has a way to save your wife," the guard said respectfully again.

The man seemed to have guessed that Li Yuan wouldn't let him see him so easily, so he prepared another explanation. And this explanation was exactly what Li Yuan was most sensitive to and needed most at that moment.

"Please invite him in." Li Yuan stood up excitedly from his seat and called out to the outside.

The visitor was invited into the main hall, and Li Yuan greeted him warmly, yet his words still reflected the demeanor of a ruler of a realm.

"I heard you have a way to save my wife?" After talking for a long time, Li Yuan finally couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," the man replied, neither humble nor arrogant, as if he were confident of success.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan disregarded his status as the ruler of a realm, stepped forward, grabbed the man's wrist, and said urgently, "Please tell me what you need. As long as Li Yuan has it, I will provide it."

He was referring to Li Yuan, not Li Zhou Jie, which shows that although he was anxious, he did not forget that he was the Lord of Li Zhou Jie and did not put his personal matters above those of the continent.

The man laughed heartily, patted Li Yuan's hand, and said, "Lord of the Realm, there's no need for that. But this thing is something only you, Lord of the Realm, possess."

Li Yuan asked in confusion, then gestured for the man to explain.

The man spoke slowly, saying, "All that's needed is a few drops of your blood, Lord of the Realm."
