Listening to Xuanyuan Jing's words,

Ye Ran raised her eyes slightly in surprise, muttering to herself, "Did the Manifestation Saint True Lord really say such a thing...?"

"Teacher Ye, what did you say?" Xuan Yuanjing asked.

Ye Ran waved her hand, "It's nothing..."

Then, he smiled and walked up to Wang Xianghe, who was surrounded by the crowd, and coughed lightly a few times.

Everyone turned to look at Ye Ran.

"Are you all busy with your pilgrimage?" Ye Ran smiled at everyone. "It's alright, I'll just say a few words to my future uncle-in-law."

Listening to Ye Ran speak,

The crowd tactfully moved to either side.

Space was left for the two of them.

Wang Xianghe looked at Ye Ran and said:

"Ye Ran, is there anything else?"

Ye Ran looked Wang Xianghe up and down and said:

"It's not that I have something to do, but that you do?"

"Me??" Wang Xianghe was stunned for a moment upon hearing Ye Ran's question.

Ye Ran then gazed at Wang Xianghe and said softly:

"Haven't you noticed yourself? The fusion between those soul rules and your true divine consciousness isn't very harmonious..."

Hearing Ye Ran say this,

Wang Xianghe was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Ye Ran:

"You could tell that??"

Then, Wang Xianghe began to explain.

"This might be because I just broke through and haven't fully integrated yet. It will probably be fine after a while."

"Are you sure...?" Ye Ran asked.

Wang Xianghe looked at the composed Ye Ran and said with a smile:

"What's uncertain about that, Ye Ran? Although you're strong, you haven't seen enough. While situations where laws and wills don't mesh are uncommon, they do happen quite often. With just a little integration, things will change. You'll see..."

It seemed that they were afraid Ye Ran wouldn't believe them.

Wang Xianghe even deliberately closed his eyes and focused his mind.

In a short time,

The laws of the soul began to rise.

A terrifying force transformed the surrounding sky into a mesmerizing, shimmering blue.

A moment later,

Wang Xianghe withdrew his power.

However, his face was slightly different from his previous cheerful expression, now tinged with a hint of gloom.

Ye Ran looked at Wang Xianghe and said:

"Things don't seem to be quite the way you imagined."

Wang Xianghe looked at Ye Ran with a solemn expression:

"Why is it that the laws of my soul cannot perfectly align with my will?"

Ye Ran spoke up:

"That's what I should be asking you."

Ye Ran paused for a moment, then carefully observed Wang Xianghe before saying:

"I sensed a will within your will that doesn't belong to you, but I can't see what it is..."

"Uh???" Hearing Ye Ran's question,

Wang Xianghe was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"I know what the problem is!! It's that bastard Yuan Qingfeng's doing!!"

"Yuan Qingfeng??"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Ye Ran paused for a moment.

Wang Xianghe looked at the puzzled Ye Ran, and then explained:

"You may not recognize this name, but you definitely know his title. He's the leader of the seventy-two demon gods, the first demon god, Yuan Qingfeng..."

Upon hearing this,

Ye Ran's expression turned serious.

After all, before,

They had just experienced the sudden event of two great demon gods breaking their contract and intruding into Earth.

Now we've heard news about the First Demon God again.

All these things are interconnected, and it doesn't seem like a good sign...

"Wait a moment..." Ye Ran interrupted Wang Xianghe's speech.

Then, he turned to look at Bai Xu, Xuan Yuanfeng, and the others:

"Senior Xuanyuan, Principal Bai, there's something I need to discuss with you..."

Ye Ran's call drew the two people who had been far apart to Wang Xianghe's side.

After everyone arrived,

Wang Xianghe then recounted his previous visit to the Zhang family in detail.

Then he discovered the conspiracy among the powerful families and recounted the whole story of the birth of the First Demon God, Yuan Qingfeng...

After listening,

Everyone fell silent.

A moment later, Bai Xu, his face filled with murderous intent, said:

"These powerful sects and clans are actually willing to sell out the entire human race for their meager gains; they're truly courting death..."

Xuanyuan Feng nodded, his tone chilling:

"Over the years, we've given these bastards far too much face; they've all forgotten who they are..."

Ye Ran waved his hand: "These people can't cause any big trouble. The main focus is still on the First Demon God..."

"You two... is Yuan Qingfeng really the so-called First Demon God?" Ye Ran broke the silence.

Bai Xu and Xuan Yuanfeng looked at each other.

A bitter taste rose at the corners of his mouth:

"We don't know either. There are very few records about the First Demon God, and no trace of his legacy has been passed down..." Bai Xu said.

Xuanyuan Feng added:

"To be precise, we didn't even find anything related to the First Demon God in the history of the demon gods. He's like an existence that appeared out of thin air, with no past whatsoever..."
