In the following days, Shu Yun visited the prefect several times, but he gave her vague excuses each time. How could she not understand what he meant?

She just couldn't understand why, given the current situation in Jing Kingdom, which was in dire need of capable people, the King of Jing Kingdom would surely be pleased with Feng Ziyi's talent and character, so why was he unwilling to recommend him?

Just when she was at her wit's end, she unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

In the nine heavens.

All the immortals gathered together, a rare occurrence. The newly ascended young generation saw that the senior immortals all had solemn expressions and were secretly curious about what could have caused such a large commotion.

The immortals discussed among themselves, mentioning something about a demon god from ten thousand years ago.

Someone asked, "What's the deal with this demon god?"

The older generation glanced at him, stroked their beard, and said, "You're a newcomer, so it's normal that you don't know about the past."

"Ten thousand years ago, the Demon Realm was unwilling to be overshadowed by our Nine Heavens. At that time, both Goddess Mengqing and Goddess Yilan favored the Nine Heavens. In order to be able to match the combat power of the two great gods, the Demon Realm used an ancient forbidden technique to create a demon god."

The young man was shocked to hear this. "This demon god is an extremely evil being, born with evil bones, and is violent and powerful."

“That’s right,” the old man sighed. “The Demon Realm paid a heavy price to create the Demon God. Those demons whose flesh and blood were drained by the Demon God perished as a result, and the number of demons was reduced by half, but this also made the Demon God powerful.”

The young man, having overheard people discussing the apparent resurgence of the demon gods in the Abyss, felt uneasy. "What should we do..."

"The Demon God is indeed incredibly powerful," the old man said, recalling the earth-shattering battle ten thousand years ago and the two High Gods who perished in it. A hint of melancholy appeared on his face. "At that time, all four High Gods were alarmed. The four of them joined forces to suppress the Demon God, but unexpectedly, they were attacked by the Demon God in its death throes during the sealing process. High God Meng Qing and High God Yi Lan were seriously injured, and the two High Gods of the Shu family of Penglai used their bodies as a seal to firmly nail the Demon God into the Demon Abyss."

Those two deities should have been a loving and harmonious couple, but they paid the price for the selfish desires of the demon realm. Their divine bodies transformed into powerful seals, gradually dissipating and weakening the power of the demon gods in the abyss of demons.

Only one daughter was left behind...

"The Shu family of Penglai..." Even though the young man had just ascended, he already knew the names of the three gods by heart. "Could it be Shu Yun, the God of Penglai?"

The old man nodded. "Shang Shu is the respectful name people use for the Shu family of Penglai. The Shu family has been composed of gods for generations. However... it wasn't the goddess Shu Yun who fought against the demon god. She was still young then, having just been promoted to immortal. The two gods who passed away were the parents of goddess Shu Yun."

Having lost both parents overnight, Shu Yun, an immortal, had no choice but to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting Penglai.

The old man recalled events from many years ago, feeling somewhat sentimental. The adorable little camellia that his parents used to lead when he was a child had now grown up and become as beautiful as its mother.

The young man was very worried. Even with the four supreme gods working together, the injuries were so severe, and now, the entire world could only gather three gods.

The Jade Emperor raised his hand to signal the immortals to quiet down, and then said, "I'm sure you've all heard the news. There's been some unusual activity in the Demon Abyss. According to the guards, there's also the aura of a demon god mixed in with it."

"I have already sent people to find the two High Gods, Meng Qing and Yi Lan. High God Shu Yun is still in the mortal realm. Si Ming, please go and ask her to come and investigate the Demon Abyss. Also, we in the Nine Heavens cannot rely solely on the three High Gods this time. Is there any other High Immortal willing to go with us?"

The immortals looked at each other, none of them daring to utter a sound.

After all, the opponent is a demon god, overflowing with evil energy. If one's mind is unstable, it is easy to develop inner demons, destroy one's immortal power in an instant, and fall into the demonic path.

A figure in a white robe slowly emerged from behind the crowd, his dark hair tied back with a plain ribbon. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, accompanied by a spirited white crane.

Pei Ju is willing to go.

The Jade Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Is there anyone else?"

Then, one after another, several highly accomplished immortals stepped forward, totaling several hundred.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you all."
