No wonder I always felt something was off; it turns out the whole world has been "invaded" by the true god.

However, he was in a hurry to save Chu Chuyan at the Bridge of Helplessness and didn't pay attention to these things.

He took Chu Chuyan's hand and instantly teleported to Qiu Chi.

As a righteous disciple, Chu Chuyan had thought countless times about storming the Demonic Sect's headquarters, but she never expected to arrive in this way.

Although it wasn't the first time she'd experienced this, she was still shocked by being teleported thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye. The strength of Zaun was truly unfathomable.

She suddenly understood why those people chose to go to the temple one by one, unwilling to be left far behind by their lovers and only able to accept their protection.

At this moment, the Demonic Sect headquarters discovered the two who had suddenly appeared. Everyone was on high alert, but after recognizing Zu An, smiles appeared on their faces.

Who doesn't know the world-famous Regent? What's more, he's the Holy Maiden's lover, and there are even rumors that he has an affair with the Cloud Cult Leader.

"Where is your leader, Yun?" Zu An asked hurriedly.

Several high-ranking members of the demonic sect exchanged glances, thinking that the first question asked was not about the Holy Maiden but about the sect leader, which meant that the two of them were indeed having an affair.

"Master Yun has gone on a journey around the world in pursuit of a higher realm."

Which temple did she choose?

"It seems that Master Yun did not choose those temples."

"No choice?" Zuan was utterly shocked.

“That’s right. She once said that none of the existing temples in the world were suitable for her, and that she wanted to forge her own path.” The high-ranking members of the demonic sect replied, “She even told us that if you ever returned, she would tell you the same thing.”

Zuan immediately fell into deep thought. He had previously used his divine sense to investigate and found that ten temples had appeared in this world.

These are the temples of memory, chaos and mystery, annihilation, primordial chaos, pleasure and desire, order, immortality, reproduction, wisdom, and protection.

The temple of the god of death, love, and beauty did not appear, which suggests that the god of love and beauty has truly perished like death.

Yun Jianyue believed that none of the ten existing paths were suitable for her, so what did she choose...?

"As expected of the Cloud Cult Leader, he actually decided to forge his own path." Chu Chuyan praised him sincerely.

"That certainly suits her proud nature, but it's easier said than done." Zu An gave a bitter smile. In all the heavens and myriad realms, the twelve true gods are high above, so how easy is it for her to forge her own path?

It should be noted that even the God of Death was jointly annihilated because his path threatened other true gods.

“I believe that Leader Yun will definitely succeed,” Chu Chuyan then asked the members of the Demonic Sect, “Where is Hong Lei?”

"The Holy Maiden has been chosen by the Temple of Immortality and has gone to the temple for further studies." The members of the Demonic Sect thought to themselves that the two of them were once recognized as the representatives of the younger generation of the righteous and evil factions, and should have been fighting to the death. Unexpectedly, they are now as close as sisters.

"The Temple of Immortality..." Zu An wasn't surprised, after all, the reason she was able to be resurrected was because of the elixir of immortality, and it was probably because of this opportunity that she was chosen by the God of Immortality.

After leaving the Demonic Sect's headquarters, Chu Chuyan suddenly said, "Grandpa, I want to go home and see if my parents, Huan Zhao, and You Zhao have gone to the temple."

Zuan nodded; it was time to return to the capital.

In the blink of an eye, the two teleported back to the Chu family mansion in the capital. Because of Zu'an, most of the Chu family had moved to the capital, with only the second and third branches managing the family business in Mingyue City.

However, the Chu family home is much quieter now than before. In the past, you could hear Chu Huanzhao making a ruckus in the yard from a great distance.

He scanned the area with his divine sense and found neither Zhao Youzhao nor her sisters, nor even Murong Qinghe, who had vanished.

However, I do know someone.

He and Chu Chuyan quickly appeared in the inner courtyard, and soon a scream rang out.

Chu Chuyan was speechless: "Mother, it's us."

Qin Wanru, who had huddled against the wall, was both surprised and delighted: "You two suddenly appeared out of nowhere, were you trying to scare me to death...?"

She suddenly came to her senses, her voice trembling slightly: "Chu Yan, are you alright?"

"Yes, my great-grandmother saved me." Even though Chu Chuyan was aloof, since she inexplicably traveled through time and became a snow maiden during her seclusion, so many things had happened that seeing her mother again felt like a lifetime had passed.

"My dear daughter!" Qin Wanru could no longer hold back and hugged Chu Chuyan tightly.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time before they calmed down.

Chu Chuyan then inquired about the situation at home. Qin Wanru wiped away her tears as she replied, "They all went to those temples to cultivate. Your father went to the Temple of Order, and Zhao and Youzhao went to the Temple of Guardianship."

"Why aren't you going, Mother?" Chu Chuyan suddenly asked curiously.

Qin Wanru blushed, but immediately retorted, "They've all left. If I leave, won't this place fall apart? Who will greet you when you come back?"

Zu An and Chu Chuyan exchanged a glance, but both saw the smile in each other's eyes. Qin Wanru's aptitude for cultivation was not nonexistent, but it was not exceptional either, so she naturally could not be recognized by those temples.

"By the way, where's Qinghe?" Zu'an suddenly asked.

Qin Wanru rolled her eyes. This guy must know about what happened that night because he cares so much about Murong Qinghe: "Qinghe seems to have failed the tests of those temples. Later, she couldn't take the blow and went off to explore the world. I don't know where she is now."

"She didn't pass the test?" Chu Chuyan was a little puzzled. Given Murong Qinghe's qualifications, this was unlikely.

Zuan was equally shocked. He had scanned the entire world with his divine sense but had not sensed Murong Qinghe. However, he was not too worried. After all, he could not detect any of the Ten Great Temples with his divine sense. He originally thought she was in one of the temples, but now that he knew everything, where would she go?

"We also find it strange, but who knows what the judgment criteria are for those temples? You know, even I didn't pass." Qin Wanru accidentally revealed the truth.

Chu Chuyan had no time to tease her, but noticed Zu An's changing expression and hurriedly asked, "Will Qinghe be like Sect Leader Yun?"

Zuan shook his head: "I haven't sensed the existence of Cloud Moon in this world either."

If they're not in the temple, and not in this world, could it be that they...?

He was startled and could no longer contain himself. The next second, he appeared in the Netherworld, opened the Netherworld Life and Death Ceremony, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no two souls had come over recently.

He returned to the Chu residence and told Chu Chuyan everything. Chu Chuyan comforted him, saying, "Grandpa, you don't need to worry too much. Maybe they, like me, have entered some special world. After all, there are many opportunities in this world."

"At this point, this is all we can hope for." Because of this incident, Zu'an was anxious to find out the whereabouts of the other acquaintances.

Chu Chuyan followed him, and as the two disappeared from the spot, Qin Wanru couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy: "She's forgotten her mother now that she's found a lover. It's true what they say, a daughter can't be kept at home once she grows up."

Zuan and Chu Chuyan teleported to various parts of the world and discovered that Yun Jianyue and Murong Qinghe were not isolated cases.

Pei Mianman, the Shang Liuyu and Shang Hongyu sisters, Bi Linglong, Yu Yanluo, Xue'er, and Ji Xiaoxi did not enter any temple, and even Ji Dengtu and Xie Xiu were missing.
