Despite his deep reluctance, Dongfang Yao had no other choice. He had been asleep for so long that the Dragon Clan had long been altered by the Divine Phoenix Clan. All the exits he had looked for were now impossible, so he could only try the Misty Swamp!

Soon, the three arrived at the edge of the Misty Swamp that Hei Xiangling had mentioned. Looking out, all they could see was a vast expanse of white, with the mist constantly churning and swirling, quiet and eerie, as if some unknown creature was lurking in the shadows.

Ji Jiuying wasn't exactly timid, but when she saw this mist, her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Could there be any creatures in there?"

Dongfang Yao and Hei Xiangling both shook their heads. "No."

“These mists can bewitch any creature, and with several different auras intertwined here, there’s simply no way for any creature to survive,” Dongfang Yao added.

"You brat, let's stay in this space to avoid being separated by this mist." Hei Xiangling reminded her, thinking of something. Ji Jiuying nodded. She had her pupil technique and the Netherworld Mirror, so she wasn't afraid. But it was hard to say about them. So keeping them in the space was the best solution.

Dongfang Yao and Hei Xiangling vanished instantly, leaving only Ji Jiuying behind.

Dongfang Yao stared at the space brimming with spiritual energy, the strange buildings standing frozen in place. His gaze fell on three children and a bear-like creature not far away. This was—a space beast?

Unexpectedly, even the Divine Phoenix Clan might not be able to create such a world, yet this little human girl actually possesses it. It's truly a pleasant surprise. Looking at the two divine beast cubs, her eyes flickered slightly. This girl's strength is average, and apart from her physique, she doesn't seem to have anything special about her. Yet, she can make sacred beasts, divine beasts, phantom beasts, and spatial beasts all submit to her.

Thinking about his mission, he couldn't help but wonder if this little girl was the reincarnation of some god.

Little Phoenix looked curiously at the man not far away, but dared not go forward. Ling Xiao, on the other hand, had his eyes shining and walked up to him, bowing respectfully: "Illusory Dragon Ling Xiao greets Lord Azure Dragon."

Although it had lived for ten thousand years, this was the first time it had seen a real Azure Dragon, and it was so excited that its voice trembled as it spoke.

Dongfang Yao nodded, his gaze falling again on Xiao Huang'er and Xuanwu. Xiao Huang'er whispered, "Xuanming, should we go up and say hello or something?"

"If Little Phoenix goes, I'll go too."

Little Phoenix thought for a moment. Qinglong and they were all in cahoots. It was just that he had lived longer. There was nothing to be afraid of. She mustered her courage and stepped forward: "Brother Qinglong, I am Little Phoenix."

"This is Xuanming, and this is Evil Fire." Little Phoenix pointed to Xuanming beside her and then to Evil Fire in her arms.

Dongfang Yao smiled and said, "My name is Dongfang Yao. From now on, you can call me Brother Dongfang."

"Shameless! You're more like an old geezer." Hei Xiangling glanced at Dongfang Yao and snorted coldly.

"If I'm an old man, then you're an old woman!"

"·····"

Dongfang Yao didn't hold back either, and the two were like oil and water, their argument quickly escalating out of control. The little beasts dared not interrupt when the two big shots were arguing.

Just as Ji Jiuying was about to enter the Misty Swamp, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. She spoke up to stop them, saying, "Alright, stop arguing. I'm going into the Misty Swamp."

The two then stopped and began to observe the outside world from within their spatial dimension. Several small beasts also came forward, releasing their divine senses to sense their surroundings in case of an emergency.

For double protection, Ji Jiuying used her pupil technique and held the Xuanming Mirror in her hand. She carefully stepped into the misty swamp. Instantly, her body was surrounded by mist, so thick that it was impossible to tell which way was which.

Because this place is shrouded in mist all year round, the ground appears dark and damp. Ji Jiuying uses the Netherworld Mirror to observe the ground, avoiding every swamp. As for the maze in the mist, it's a piece of cake for Ji Jiuying.

She didn't know how long she had walked, but the surrounding fog grew thicker and thicker, making it hard for Ji Jiuying to breathe, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Why can't we see the exit yet?

Hei Xiangling's voice echoed in his mind, "You brat, I feel like you're near the border of the gods right now, while the humans are in the opposite direction. Use the Netherworld Mirror to see if there are any vortexes emitting golden light around you."

Ji Jiuying stood still, carefully observing her surroundings with the Netherworld Mirror. Sure enough, she discovered a golden light to her right, which must be the border leading to the God Clan.

“Yes, that’s it, go in the opposite direction,” Hei Xiangling said.

Following Hei Xiangling's instructions, Ji Jiuying carefully walked forward step by step. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, she saw a light ahead and soon arrived at the light.

Ji Jiuying stood frozen in place, with two vortexes in front of her, one emitting a white light and the other emitting a blue light.

"this······"

Hei Xiangling and Dongfang Yao remained silent!

"Xiangling, which side is the human race?" Ji Jiuying asked in confusion.

"Girl... I... I don't know either. I only know that the human race is opposite the gods, but we've never been here, so..."

Dongfang Yao glanced at Hei Xiangling, "Little girl, why don't you come closer and take a look? I can tell the aura."

Ji Jiuying continued walking towards the light. Her red dress was completely soaked by the mist, and the strands of hair on her forehead clung tightly to her skin, making her look somewhat disheveled.

After a short while, they stopped about ten meters away from the whirlpool.

Dongfang Yao narrowed his eyes, sensing the aura emanating from the two vortexes. A confident glint flashed in his eyes. "Little girl, I've figured it out. The white light is towards the human race, while the cyan light is towards..."

Suddenly!

A startled cry rang out, interrupting Dongfang Yao before he could finish speaking.

Suddenly, the world spun around her, and Ji Jiuying was terrified as she was sucked into a blue vortex by a powerful force.

——

The sun blazed brightly, and a gentle breeze swept by.

In the Demon King's Palace, a demonically handsome man opened his golden eyes, a look of surprise flashing within them—it was the Netherworld Mirror…

It's her!

In Wuzhen, many demons gathered together, surrounding the girl in red on the ground.

There was curiosity, there was ruthlessness, there was doubt, there was fear...

"Mother, is this what the human race is like?"

A five-year-old child curiously pointed at the girl on the ground, whose pink and white rabbit ears trembled, making her look soft, cute, and adorable.

"Yes, Beibei, you absolutely must not get even a step closer to humans. Humans are treacherous and cunning, and utterly wicked. If she catches you, she'll even rip out your demon core..."

The little girl was not scared at all, but became even more curious. "Mother, but this human is so good-looking. He doesn't seem like the kind of person you described."
