After Imu died, he did not enter the next world.

He was in a blank space-time, where there was nothing, no sound, no color.

He lay on the ground, not knowing how long he had slept, when an old man in a white robe suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yi Mu vaguely remembered seeing an old man in Bei Menlin's world who was also wearing a similar robe.

The old man approached Yimu and stood in front of him.

Do you know why you're here?

The old man's voice seemed to come from a very far place, devoid of any emotion, and his expression was very serious.

Yi Mu sat up from the ground and looked at him curiously: "Who are you?"

The old man didn't answer, he just looked at him.

There seemed to be a holy light behind him, but he didn't look kind at all.

Yi Mu stood up and changed the subject: "Where is Qing Yao now?"

The old man pressed his finger slightly in the air, and Yi Mu felt as if he was bearing a thousand pounds of pressure on his shoulder, and he knelt down with a thud.

"I ask you a question, and you have to answer it. It's impolite to ask someone a question in return."

Yi Mu grew impatient with the domineering old man, but he knew that the old man must have some connection with Qing Yao.

He knelt down and replied to the old man, "It is because I have a relationship with Qingyao that I came here."

The old man walked around him once and raised his hand.

Yi Mu involuntarily raised his neck and looked up at him.

The old man seemed to be sizing him up; Yi Mu's face at this moment had reverted to his face in the real world.

The old man's gaze shifted from casual to focused, as if he had discovered something new on the old man's face, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"You look..."

No, it can't be that person!

The realm of gods has been destroyed for millions of years. Qingyao and the others do not even remember the past, and that person has long since disappeared into the primordial world.

The old man composed himself and suddenly changed his mind.

"Because of you, he could have successfully completed his journey through this world and returned to the Supreme God's Office, but now he still needs to go through three tribulations before he can come back."

Calamity?

Imu stared at the old man, trying to discern any particular emotion on his face.

If he is worried, if he is angry, Yi Mu can be pushed out; he may be Qing Yao's closest person.

But his face was blank, as if he were wearing a stiff mask, making it difficult for him to express joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

The old man told him, "These three tribulations are extremely dangerous. If he cannot overcome them, he will be reincarnated in the universe forever, becoming an ordinary mortal, and will never be able to become a supreme god again."

Although he knew the timing was inappropriate, Yi Mu still asked, "What's wrong with becoming human?"

The old man looked at him with disbelief.

“How can insignificant humans compare to gods? I only ask you, are you willing to accompany him through these three tribulations?”

Without hesitation, Yimu said, "I'm willing."

Life and death are decided in an instant, and Qingyao did not hesitate for a moment, firmly protecting him under her body.

He watched helplessly as the man used his mortal body to build an impenetrable wall around him.

He was carrying a weight of a thousand pounds; it must have been extremely painful.

He was covered in sweat, but he still tried to smile at him and tell him not to worry.

He explained to him the events of the previous world, saying that he had been controlled by inferior insects that had done things to harm him, and that after regaining consciousness, he wished he could kill himself.

Back then, I thought every day that I would be happy even if I went to the deepest hell if he could just respond to me.

Yi Mu cried and said, "Fool, I forgive you. Transform quickly and take me out of here."

Qingyao said, "I'm sorry, I can't become a dragon and carry you in this world anymore, but I will protect you and make sure you don't get hurt in the slightest."

Yi Mu no longer wanted to dwell on the grievances he had suffered in the past; all he wanted was for Qing Yao to stand before him again.

When the old man heard him agree, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He twirled his sleeve, and Yi Mu felt everything go black before his eyes, and he knew nothing more.

After his figure disappeared, Jiaxing appeared in the white space.

"My Lord God, why must this human accompany His Highness? He is a variable and might complicate matters."

The Supreme God looked up at the sky, and the white spacetime suddenly distorted.

They stood in the vast starry sky, with tens of thousands of stars above them, a scene of breathtaking beauty.

"I want to see just how important he is to Qingyao."

Is it important enough to give up divinity?

If that's the case, it's almost certain that this person is Qingyao's weakness, and it will be much easier to control Qingyao in the future.
