Shen Gongbao nodded in satisfaction, looking at Qin Ze with admiration: "Very good, you are a smart person." Her voice carried a hint of praise.

He continued, "I know you possess the Dragon-Slaying Whip. I need you to take me away from here!" Shen Gongbao's tone was firm, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation.

Qin Ze frowned; he wasn't about to agree so easily. He spoke directly and frankly, "Senior Shen Gongbao, you're not exactly a positive character in the Investiture of the Gods. How can I know that once you leave Guixu, you won't bring chaos to the world?"

Shen Gongbao burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sarcasm: "Causing chaos to the world? It was clearly Yuanshi Tianzun who deceived me, saying that I was causing chaos to the world. He, Yuanshi Tianzun, raises humans like livestock, isn't that the real cause of chaos to the world?"

Qin Ze frowned, puzzled by Shen Gongbao's words. He didn't understand the meaning of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu that Shen Gongbao was referring to, nor the idea of ​​raising humans as livestock. So, he asked Shen Gongbao for an explanation.

Shen Gongbao patiently explained: "In different corners of the universe, there exist different gods, and their concepts and purposes are also different. Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu originally shared the same ideals, but later things changed. Tongtian Jiaozhu advocated the equality of all things, while Yuanshi Tianzun believed that mortals were ignorant and needed the guidance of the gods to lead them."

Qin Ze gradually understood the implications of Shen Gongbao's words, sensing the deeper controversy and significance they contained. All of this made his understanding of the world more complex.

Shen Gongbao continued his description: "But the Primordial Celestial Venerable often said that human calculations are no match for divine calculations. With the arrival of the Dharma-ending Age, the mortal realm was no longer suitable for the existence of the gods. In the end, the gods also realized that coming to the mortal realm was of no benefit. In order to prevent the turmoil in the mortal realm from affecting the divine realm, they finally destroyed the passage between the human realm and the divine realm. All of this was even accomplished by my good junior brother Jiang Ziya himself."

Although Qin Ze was beginning to understand Shen Gongbao's point of view, he still had doubts about him and asked, "What do you plan to do after you leave here?"

Shen Gongbao tilted his head and replied with a smile, "I want to go see the human world... I have been trapped in the Ruins of Return for far too long, and I yearn for the outside world."

Qin Ze pondered for a moment, then, sensing that Shen Gongbao seemed to have no other motives, nodded. He took out the God-Slaying Whip, which shimmered with golden light. A complex look of reminiscence flashed in Shen Gongbao's eyes. She murmured softly, "The God-Slaying Whip...it's been so long..."

Qin Ze brandished the God-Slaying Whip, and a passage appeared. He took Shen Gongbao with him and they passed through the passage, embarking on their journey to leave the Land of Return to Nothingness.

Qin Ze led Shen Gongbao to the surface of the East China Sea. Before them stretched a vast expanse of water, rippling and shimmering. Shen Gongbao gazed at it all, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She looked curiously at the enormous cruise ship in the distance and couldn't help but ask, "What's that?"

Qin Ze explained with a wry smile, "That's a cruise ship, a luxury cruise ship invented by mankind that can sail at sea and allow people to enjoy a comfortable travel experience."

Shen Gongbao was somewhat surprised after hearing the explanation. Her gaze shifted back to the sky, and seeing the airplanes flying high above, she asked curiously, "What are those?"

Qin Ze patiently replied, "That's an airplane, a means of transportation that can carry people and fly long distances, even into the sky."

Shen Gongbao, like a curious child, was fascinated by all aspects of human civilization. Her eyes shone with joy and wonder, as if she were in a completely new world. Qin Ze sensed Shen Gongbao's curiosity and couldn't help but smile, thinking that this experience must be unprecedented for her.

After Shen Gongbao expressed her curiosity about modern human civilization, she said softly with a sigh, "Humans truly deserve to be the protagonists of this era. Who could have imagined that the once weak human race would develop to such an amazing level?"

Qin Ze smiled and nodded; he knew that the development of human society was indeed a remarkable chapter in history. Then, seizing the opportunity, he pressed on, "Now, Senior Shen Gongbao, could you share some secrets about the Void Ancient Clan?"

Shen Gongbao glanced at Qin Ze, smiled slightly, and then began to explain in detail the secrets of the Void Ancient Clan that she knew.

She recounted the origins of the Void Ancients, an ancient and mysterious race that was once a divine race possessing power beyond human comprehension. However, after the outbreak of the War of the Gods, the ancient race was defeated. To escape destruction, they created the void, becoming the Void Ancients, and hid within it.

They created a void realm, which became the new home of the Void Ancients. Here, they continued to develop their power and explore the mysteries of the void. However, as the void realm continued to expand, they gradually realized that there was some unknown power within the void, something that seemed to transcend time and space.

In the Void Realm, the civilization of the Void Ancients reached its zenith. They created a complex system of magic, mastered the opening of Void Gates, and could traverse different times and spaces. However, it was precisely their exploration of the Void that triggered a massive catastrophe.

The opening of the Void Gate disrupted the balance of the universe, attracting even more powerful beings, including terrifying beings that transcended time and space. These beings relentlessly attacked the territory of the Void Ancient Race, plunging them into an unprecedented crisis.

In order to protect themselves, the Void Ancient Clan launched a final resistance. They united and worked together to seal away the evil forces that transcended time and space, but at the cost of being sealed in the void themselves.

"They've been searching for a way to break the void seal for years. The fact that they've set their sights on you means you have the ability to help them break the void seal!"
