"What's wrong, Xiaoyou? Why aren't you moving?" Yuan Qi asked in a deep voice, and Feng Rong stepped forward and took her hand.

"It's nothing..." Youyou relayed the increasingly urgent words in her consciousness directly, "It's just that someone just told me that you are wicked, ruthless, and even eat women and children..."

"..." What the heck?

Youyou continued, "To avoid any miscommunication, why don't you two clarify things face-to-face!"

As she spoke, she picked up the wooden plaque in her hand, and with a thought, the energy within her body immediately flowed towards her divine sense. In a flash, she squeezed a certain divine sense out of her divine sense, and the next moment, that cute little divine sense appeared on the wooden plaque.

"This is it!"

Feng Rong: "..."

Yuan Qi: "..."

Shen Nian trembled: "..."

Can't they sell out this fast?

————————

“It really is divine thought…” Yuan Qi took a closer look at the little old man lying on the wooden sign, shaking it so that it made a loud clattering sound. “It must have been made by some divine lord in the divine realm.”

"Tch!" Feng Rong glanced at the divine sense with disdain. "This kind of divine sense isn't even a clone. Just burn it!" It actually dared to sow discord between them and Youyou. Roasting it to medium-rare would be merciful.

“He seems to have some connection with Mingye,” Youyou said.

As soon as the words were spoken, not only Feng Rong and Yuan Qi, but even the trembling old man with divine sense was stunned. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had thought of something, and said angrily, "You...you are in cahoots with that demon Ming Ye! As expected of the Heavenly Abandoned Sin Clan, you actually used such methods to deceive me. Where is Ming Ye? Call him out!"

“He’s dead!” Youyou replied.

"Huh?" The old man was stunned, not quite understanding again, and subconsciously asked, "How did he die?"

"I killed him!"

"..." Wait, aren't you a mortal? How come you were able to kill a demon? Are you kidding me?

“Speak, old man! Where did you come from? And how did you end up in Mingye’s secret chamber? What is Mingye’s purpose?” Youyou tapped the wooden plaque and asked seriously.

"Hmph, don't even think about fooling me!" The old man, his demeanor completely changed from when he had been trying to lure her into cultivating immortality, gave Feng Rong and Yuan Qi a wary look and said with a righteous expression, "You say Ming Ye is dead, but who knows if you're in cahoots? The ancient gods and demons are both scourges on the world. Although I am only a wisp of divine consciousness, I come from the divine realm and will certainly not allow you to wreak havoc on the world!"

"Pretty tough, huh!" He was just acting like a pyramid scheme guy, trying to recruit her, but now he's suddenly changed his attitude. "You'd better explain yourself, otherwise... you want to see Mingye, right? I don't mind sending you to see him!"

Shennian glanced at her, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, but he immediately snorted, straightened his back, and said with an air of righteousness, "You think you can threaten me! The wooden tablet that Shennian sent is the 'Divine Decree,' and unless one has a divine artifact in hand, nothing in the world can be harmed, not even gods and demons."

"Oh." You You twirled something in her hand and produced a small cauldron. "You mean this kind of divine artifact?"

The old man stumbled, nearly falling off the wooden sign. "Earth-Shaking Cauldron!" Holy crap! Why does she actually have a divine artifact?

"If one isn't enough, I have others!" You You waved his hand, instantly summoning four or five divine artifacts. "Do you want to pick one, or should I smash them one by one and see which one is harder, them or your wooden plaque?"

Beep!

The old man's expression darkened, and he immediately knelt down before her, speaking with even greater righteous indignation, "Please wait, young lady. It is everyone's responsibility to investigate the demon race, including us divine beings. Moreover, you, fairy, have even slain a demon and rid the Three Realms of a scourge. Ask me anything you wish to know, and I will answer to the best of my ability!"

The three of them: "..." What a jerk!

The divine realm truly possesses admirable character!

"It's still the same question: what exactly does Mingye want to do? And why are you in the Immortal Realm?" Youyou continued to ask.

"This is a long story!" The old man sighed, looking miserable. "Actually, I don't know how that demon obtained this summoning deity order and summoned me to the immortal realm. You also know that our divine senses are just the intelligence casually bestowed upon us by the God-King. Although we carry some of the God-King's abilities and memories, we are not the original being, which is why we were sent here to grant wishes."

"What do you mean?" Youyou didn't understand.

Yuan Qi explained directly, "It is said that there is a method of transmitting thoughts in the God Realm, which is to inject one's own thoughts and ideas into a divine being whose intelligence has not yet been awakened, so as to help it gain wisdom and attain enlightenment. The spiritual consciousness will have some of the other party's memories and divine power, but it is not as closely related to the original body as the consciousness of a clone, which is what is called divine thought."

"Oh..." Youyou understood. So, divine sense wasn't actually related to the true deity, much less a clone. It was more like a product of some kind of magic, such as a paper crane for communication, a puppet, or a shikigami. Only, divine sense was more advanced because it possessed its own intelligence. No wonder it had no bottom line. "Then what about wish fulfillment?"

"That's because of the Divine Decree!" the old man with divine sense immediately replied. "The Divine Decree is a divine artifact for communicating with the divine realm, but true gods cannot leave the divine realm, so messages can only be transmitted through the Divine Decree. However, the Divine Decree cannot be attached to the divine consciousness or avatar of a god, so it can only be transmitted through our divine sense."

"Wait! Gods can't leave the divine realm?" This logic doesn't make sense. Youyou continued, "Gods clearly exist in the immortal realm, so how can you say that gods can't descend to the mortal world?"

"Impossible!" The old man with divine sense shook his head and said, "The gates to the God Realm are closed; one can only ascend, not descend. If there are gods in the Immortal Realm, they are either false gods or demigods who haven't yet attained godhood and fully ascended. Only those who possess godhood can be considered true gods!"

“Godhood…” Youyou thought of Qiu Yue from back then and asked directly, “We once met a god named Qiu Yue, do you know him?”

"Godly Lord Qiuyue!" As soon as she finished speaking, the old man with divine sense exclaimed in surprise, his face full of excitement, "He also went down to the mortal realm? Where is he? When is he going back? Take him with you!"

"It seems you know him." You frowned. "He has already perished!"

"How could this be..." The old man's newly ignited hope was extinguished in an instant. "Lord Qiuyue is indeed a divine lord of the divine realm, but he is low-key as a god and never associates with other divine lords. I have only heard that his strength is unfathomable, as for how he descended to the mortal realm, well... I don't know." If he knew, he would have gone back long ago.

After thinking it over, You You realized that Qiu Yue must have relied on his divine artifacts to leave the God Realm, so she didn't ask any further questions and continued the previous topic, "Tell me in detail about the Divine Decree and the Inscription Leaf!"

The old man with divine sense then recounted in detail what he knew.
