Blue Star, Fookie Islands.

Within the void, Li Yu moved about incessantly, scattering vast amounts of divine power as if it were free.

Layer upon layer of space unfolds, layer upon layer of searching.

A woman's head mysteriously emerged from his shoulder.

"Honey, it can't really be..."

Li Yu's expression was solemn, a mixture of disbelief, anger, surprise, and annoyance.

"Impossible! This brat is no ordinary person. Besides, we've both seen that tree of his before. How could a mere cult possibly defeat him here!"

As he spoke, he unleashed even more divine power, causing the surrounding space to surge violently.

The numerous teleportation devices set up around the secret realm were all destroyed, but the people in the teleportation hall dared not be angry or speak out.

The cult's plan failed, and in its desperate counterattack, Japan suffered heavy casualties, and even its conspiracy was exposed.

Upon the arrival of the demigod from Huawu Kingdom, he went on a killing spree without a word, slaughtering over a hundred Diamond-level and more than a dozen Transcendent-level individuals from Japan...

This time, Japan's strength accumulated over hundreds of years was reduced by half or sixty percent, and they still dared not resist.

As one of the few veteran demigods stationed in Japan, Nobi Yuji was wary of that other demigod, but he wasn't afraid to fight him.

The other party was simply more afraid of the gods behind Huawu Kingdom.

Having learned that a divine offspring was participating in the competition, and having been tricked into it by some idiot below, now with their fate unknown, they're terrified.

Fortunately, the demigod was still somewhat rational, and with the support of countries like the Freedom Alliance, he managed to restrain his anger.

After searching the entire secret realm to no avail, Li Yu was completely exasperated.

"Could it be that kid really... It's my fault as the older brother!"

Li Yu felt genuinely guilty. He had initially thought it was just some petty tricks by a cult, or at most, some countries with ulterior motives.

Who knew it would escalate to this extent, involving both the Dimensional Temple's cult and divine artifacts...

According to the intelligence gathered by the two survivors of the Freedom Alliance, in the final moments, Qin Xiao had already engaged in a standoff with the cult and the artifact...

The cult itself was manageable, but the thought of the pale lady's artifact made him less confident.

"Honey, don't worry. Have you forgotten? Those cults and artifacts disappeared too, didn't they? The summoning of the Source of Anomaly also failed. Qin Xiao must have already defeated it."

"His disappearance now might be due to some trouble, preventing him from showing himself for the time being. Besides, you forgot, that person's daughter also disappeared..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu suddenly came to his senses. He had been so preoccupied with his concern that he had forgotten about this important clue.

Thinking of this, he turned and left.

"Honey, where are you going?"

"I'll go ask that person..."

"Are you out of your mind?!"

"She's not going to eat me, is she? I watched her grow up."

"But she is, after all, a...god..."

"What's wrong with her? First of all, she's from Huawu Kingdom! Without us old guys protecting her, she still wants to... Anyway, I'm not trying to act like an old man, I'm just going to ask her."

In the end, Li Yu himself was a little unsure of himself, but he had to go this time!

Leaving Li Yu aside, on the other side, in the lakeside cottage.

Ye Qingya has already arrived in the capital, hoping to get firsthand information sooner.

Seeing the reply from Director Sun Lingbo of Huawu Yuling Academy, her heart sank.

"Mom, is Xiao-ge...?"

Ye Qingya shook her head, trying to appear calm, "It's alright. You don't know Qin Xiao, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

After saying this, Ye Qingya suddenly reached out and touched her lower abdomen.

She suddenly felt a little regretful, because for some reason, the two of them hadn't planned to have children so early.

The thought of not leaving him any bloodline filled her with even greater sorrow.

Ye Qinghuan watched Ye Qingya's actions and asked, "Mom, are you pregnant with his child?"

Ye Qingya was momentarily lost in thought, then shook her head, "No, I haven't planned on..."

"Huanhuan, what are you saying!"

Ye Qinghuan's eyes were red. "Are you still going to lie to me now? I already guessed what was going on between you two!"

I know he likes you, and I won't compete with you. If he comes back this time, he won't have to worry about me anymore.

Ye Qingya's sadness and worry subsided considerably, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

After a long while, Ye Qingya sighed softly.

"Even if you don't argue, I can see it. That little rascal, do you think he'll...?"

Ye Qinghuan remained silent, and for a moment the atmosphere in the room became strange, and the heavy atmosphere dissipated considerably.

"Let nature take its course. He'll be fine. I have faith in him. His tamed beasts are all incredibly powerful..."

Ye Qingya said with certainty, after all, as Qin Xiao's husband, she knew his strength all too well.

Upon learning of Qin Xiao's disappearance and the uncertainty of his fate, those who had been in contact with him experienced a range of emotions.

Zhou Lei, Liu Piaoxu, Liu Feixue, Wang Xinian, Chairman Yue, Chairman Wu...

Even the senior and junior students of the Spirit Control Academy are paying close attention.

Meanwhile, in Bu Feifei's hometown, a secret realm.

As everyone stood before a towering tree, Bu Feifei wept uncontrollably.

She held the blood source in her hands and placed her hand on the trunk of the giant tree to communicate with it.

The giant tree was full of life, with psionic patterns moving endlessly among its trunk and branches, and the fruits in the purplish-red leaves were still somewhat unripe.

"Neomi? Neomi? Are you still there?"

Bu Feifei called out patiently, but there was no response for a long time.

The Jianmu tree stretched out its roots, touching the trunk and infusing it with the abundant life force of the world it had drawn from it.

Gradually, a long and ancient aura awakens.

"Phyllis, is that you back?"

"Neomi, it's me, I'm back!"

Bu Feifei responded with a smile through her tears.

As the tree spirit regained its senses, the two communicated extensively.

Bu Feifei handed over the blood essence, saying, "Neomi, absorb it, and you will definitely be able to break through again and embark on the path to godhood. Then you can protect our home forever."

After a long silence, Naomi did not respond, and Bu Feifei's heart sank.

"Neomi, why...?"

She was afraid to ask the question she didn't dare to answer.

But Naomi's leaves wiped away her tears.

"Phyllis, don't be sad. I am grateful for everything you have done for me and for this world. Thank you for all these years."

"Why..." Bu Feifei asked unwillingly.

"I've never told you this, but even though I'm a demigod, I'm still too weak in the face of such an existence."

His power and strength corrupted me; I did not want to become his servant, which led to my inevitable demise.

Unable to expel the pollution, I am unwilling to re-establish a new population, for I fear their emergence will be contaminated.

Now, so many years have passed, and I have gathered all the corruption of his power and strength. As soon as I perish, he will vanish forever.

By then, even though Naomi will be gone, the Tree Spirit will still be there, and you will be responsible for taking care of her and her new clan sisters.

I will absorb this bloodline into the Tree Spirit; it should bring a better future to the new race. But... thank you for your hard work.

After speaking, Naomi slowly infused the blood source into the tree trunk.

As streaks of blood flowed through the torso, they gradually connected to the unripe fruits.

As the fruit ripened, Neomi's consciousness became increasingly blurred.

Until it vanished completely, turning into specks of starlight that merged into the shimmering light of the sky.

Beneath the tree spirit, vast fields of Death Blossoms, resembling thorny roses, bloomed brilliantly under the fluorescent night sky.
