"Phew, I'm finally back!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear as soon as he returned to the Oath Base.

"Tsk tsk, where have you been? Why aren't you with Ning Yanlan so late at night?"

Jiang Yuan had just stopped and was about to go inside when a figure suddenly appeared silently beside him.

"Damn, when did you get next to me?" Jiang Yuan was startled. After his senses spread out, he realized that the person who came was Leng Yue.

"Hey, hey, you've got it backwards! I'd like to ask when you got here!" Leng Yue exited her stealth mode and said, "I've been here for five minutes, and you just arrived!"

"What are you doing here so late at night?" Jiang Yuan asked calmly.

"What else can we do but go out and kill monsters! You know when the Dark Knight and Dark Hunter bloodlines are at their strongest!" Leng Yue noticed that Jiang Yuan's expression was a bit off. She smiled mysteriously and said, "What's wrong, cheating on me?"

"Damn it, don't talk nonsense! I went out to attend the treasure appraisal event, but I kept it a secret from Ning Yanlan!" Jiang Yuan quickly explained.

"You know, I'm injured, and she won't let me go out!"

"Seeing how nervous you are, I thought you were going out to meet some pretty girl!" Leng Yue said with a chuckle.

Jiang Yuan glared at her and said speechlessly, "Don't make wild guesses. You're insulting my character! A righteous man like me would never do such a despicable thing!"

"Alright, I won't insult your character anymore. I still need to go out and hunt monsters to try and break through to the ninth rank as soon as possible!"

Leng Yue was about to enter a state of concealment, but Jiang Yuan took out a pill. "This is a Breakthrough Pill. It can help you break through to the ninth level and also increase your Spirit Realm Barrier Limit by 300 points. So take it when the time is right!"

"There's something else like this!" Leng Yue picked up the pill and examined it closely. Then her eyes lit up as she said, "Are there any others? I'm really missing out on treasures like this!"

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to rummage through his little treasure trove, eventually piecing together a huge pile of things before handing them over to Leng Yue.

"As expected of the captain, his extravagance alone is enough to win the hearts of a bunch of girls!" Leng Yue said with a grin.

"Don't be so stingy with me, don't think I didn't understand what you were implying!" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.

"Good to know, you reek of perfume, aren't you going to clean yourself up!"

Leng Yue gave him a rather unfriendly look, then slipped out into the darkness to kill monsters.

"Wait, let me explain..." Jiang Yuan was about to explain when Leng Yue had already disappeared. "Damn it, this is the smell I picked up when I hit Yin Cha. Give me a chance to explain!"

Jiang Yuan was completely dumbfounded. This time, it was like mud falling into his pants—even if it wasn't poop, it was still poop!

"Never mind, I have a clear conscience!"

Jiang Yuan said he had a clear conscience, but he still cleaned himself of the smell before entering the room.

"Where did you go? I went to the underground palace and didn't see you!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan entered the room, he heard Ning Yanlan's slightly complaining voice.

"The Liu family was attacked by Yin Cha and her men. The situation was too urgent to inform you in time, so I went alone!" Jiang Yuan concealed the fact that it was an appraisal event.

Are you alright?

Sure enough, Ning Yanlan's focus immediately shifted upon hearing that something had happened to the Liu family.

"It was a close call, but thankfully the Liu family is quite capable, and the timely discovery prevented any fatalities!" Jiang Yuan stated truthfully.

"Let's not talk about that. Look what I brought back for you!"

Jiang Yuan took out the little red figure directly, and Ning Yanlan, as expected of someone with compatible bloodlines, recognized the bloodline as soon as it appeared and exclaimed, "This is the same fire attribute bloodline as mine!"

Ning Yanlan possesses two exclusive spiritual veins, one of ice and one of fire. Although she can increase her bloodline value through her original attribute veins, that is only a temporary measure. To cure the root cause, she needs to find another bloodline.

"Give it a try. If you activate your fire attribute bloodline, you might be able to find a fire attribute cultivation technique that suits you!" Jiang Yuan said hopefully.

The exclusive fire attribute technique is not difficult; the difficulty lies in activating the fire attribute bloodline.

"I hope so!"

Ning Yanlan sat up in bed and then activated the little red figure.

"The blood of the gods will continue! The will of the gods will be eternal!"

A battle-ready phrase echoed in the room. The last time Jiang Yuan heard this phrase, he was still clueless about the cataclysm. But after experiencing so much, hearing it again now gave him a different understanding.

"Which deity left this legacy?" Jiang Yuan pondered a thousand times, when suddenly, an unbelievable idea popped into his mind: "Or perhaps, Ning Yanlan is the reincarnation of some deity?"

Such a possibility cannot be ruled out. This world is too mysterious. Gods and humans, battlefields and civilizations, death and destruction—it seems that everything that exists is subject to some kind of destiny.

"Jiang Yuan, I can sense my fire-attribute cultivation technique!"

Ning Yanlan suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of indescribable majesty in them.

"Where?" Jiang Yuan put aside all other thoughts and focused all his attention on Ning Yanlan.

"Wait a minute, I'll go into my personal space and get it myself!"

After saying that, Ning Yanlan's consciousness entered her personal space, and the next second, a dazzling ninth-order crystal diamond core appeared in her hand.

Only Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan can freely enter the personal space; no one else, including the spirit of the palace who once roamed the tomb of the warlord, can do so.

"The probability of getting this is one in ten million!"

When Ning Yanlan talked about probability, she specifically glanced at Jiang Yuan. She spent every day with Jiang Yuan, and she had guessed most of the secrets of the Heavenly Eye, so this did not surprise Jiang Yuan.

"Leave it to me!"
