Ji Xiaoxiao reacted quickly and swiftly to safety. The giant egg landed steadily on the ground. Ji Xiaoxiao picked up some stones and carefully tossed a few aside. Finding nothing amiss, Ji Xiaoxiao straightened her back, head held high, and strode confidently toward the giant egg.

Her fingers barely touched the giant egg's shell when the top of the egg cracked open. The crack itself wasn't the problem; thick magma began to seep out from the fissure. Seeping out was one thing, but no one had kindly told Ji Xiaoxiao a basic fact: magma, like soda, can spray out if you shake it!

Like a volcanic eruption, lava flowing from the top of the giant egg rapidly devoured the small valley. Ji Xiaoxiao fled in panic; the normally flat and low hills now towered into the clouds, insurmountable.

Ji Xiaoxiao arrived at the foot of the mountain and was about to climb up on her hands and feet when she was blocked by an invisible barrier. Lava surged behind her, engulfing and burning, leaving behind flames, ashes, smoke, and the smell of burning—a desolate wasteland of life.

With no way forward and pursuers behind, and the secret realm prohibiting flight, even Ji Xiaoxiao, who was used to finding joy in hardship, felt panicked and anxious, at a loss for what to do.

Just as Ji Xiaoxiao was lamenting her bad luck, the valley suddenly took a dramatic turn. Lava, as if given life by God, instantly climbed up Ji Xiaoxiao's legs. Before Ji Xiaoxiao could even activate her spiritual energy shield, the sizzling sound of roasting meat, accompanied by an enticing aroma, revealed endless cruelty and pain beneath the surface of this seemingly beautiful scene.

Lava snaked and crawled across her body, slowly scorching her flesh. Ji Xiaoxiao wanted to stop it, but she was powerless to do so. Even more terrifying, the lava forced its way into Ji Xiaoxiao's mouth, entering her body and wreaking havoc.

In an instant, Ji Xiaoxiao's life force vanished. Her blackened body, along with the surging magma, fell straight into the fiery red.

It is located ten miles outside the valley.

"Xiao Heng, why have you come here?" The man's voice seemed to come from the underworld, and the endless chill and indifference made people tremble.

"Shiyuan, do you believe in fate?" Huang Yanheng gazed at the small valley not far away, licked her lips, and spoke as if she were in a trance.

I finally managed to get this strong recommendation from the editor, my dears, please use your delicate hands to add "Becoming a God" to your reading list!

The editor said there would be a second update for the PK, but Xiaoming has class today, so I don't know if that's possible?

If you don't see Qianren after 10 PM, my dears, don't wait any longer!

Of course, Xiaoming is a good boy, he will make up for it later!
