"Girl? Let me out."

Hei Xiangling's voice rang out, and Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered. Hei Xiangling then appeared in the God Realm. She took a deep breath, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes. God Realm, I'm back! Get ready to face my wrath.

"Xiang Ling, won't the gods notice your sudden appearance?"

Hei Xiangling shook her head: "Ordinary gods cannot see through me."

"By the way, girl, I was thinking..."

Hei Xiangling stammered, and Ji Jiuying pursed her lips, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

"Go ahead, but remember to be careful."

"knew."

Hei Xiangling's figure vanished into thin air in an instant. Ji Jiuying shook her head, completely forgetting her earlier promise not to get close to men.

Because Ji Jiuying was so engrossed in her thoughts, she collided with a wall of flesh with a loud bang, and the two of them fell from mid-air.

Ouch—

The woman rubbed her buttocks and let out a groan.

Ji Jiuying quickly got up and went forward to help the woman up.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you alright?"

The woman raised her head, about to unleash a torrent of curses, but was instead captivated by Ji Jiuying's beauty, and in front of everyone, she became infatuated.

"So beautiful—just like a fairy."

Ji Jiuying: ·······

"Hey girl, are you alright?"

The woman quickly stood up: "It's alright, it's alright, how about you, beautiful lady?"

"I'm fine."

As she spoke, Ji Jiuying sized up the woman in front of her. The woman's temperament was not something that ordinary people could possess. Could she be a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan?

At this moment, the woman spoke up and asked a question.

"My name is Yingge, what's your name, beautiful lady?"

"My name is Ji Jiuying."

Yingge sized up Ji Jiuying: "Yingzi, you just ascended here, right?"

······

A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes. Was it really that obvious? But she still nodded.

Seemingly sensing her doubt, Yingge said, "When you mortals ascend, you carry a scent of earthly life on you. I can tell just by smelling it."

Ji Jiuying then understood. Seeing that there was not a trace of dislike in the woman's eyes, she felt more favorably toward her.

In the divine realm, there are two types of gods: the Phoenix Clan, who are gods from the moment they are born, and mortals who ascend to godhood through their own cultivation.

Just like in modern society, city dwellers seem to be superior and always look at people from the village with strange eyes. Ji Jiuying doesn't have a good impression of such people.

At this moment, Yingge suddenly leaned closer to Ji Jiuying, sniffed her, narrowed her eyes, and said in a puzzled tone, "Hmm, I feel that you are different from the other gods who have ascended to heaven. I can't quite put my finger on how you are different."

Upon hearing her words, Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow.

"By the way, beautiful lady, were you in such a hurry to go to Penglai Island to see the Night God?"

"Yagami?"

Yingge was taken aback, almost forgetting that Ji Jiuying had just ascended and didn't know Ye Shenjun at all.

But Ji Jiuying captured the essence of Penglai Island in her painting.

"It's our Night God from Penglai Island! He's back. I've never seen him before, and I'd like to go see him. Would you like to come along, beautiful lady?"

Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered slightly. Yingge was from Penglai Island, so perhaps she could ask her for some information. As for Lord Ye, if she guessed correctly, it should be Qing Chen.

Since she couldn't contact A-Yue right now, she decided to go to Penglai Island to meet her cheap father.

"good."

The two chatted and laughed along the way. Ji Jiuying learned from Yingge that her adoptive father was indeed engaged to the Empress's younger sister, Xianji. However, she also learned some inside information. Yingge said that Baili Shenzun had a sweetheart, which was why he had been delaying the engagement. But no one knew who his sweetheart was.

Ji Jiuying wondered to herself, could her cheap father's sweetheart be her mother?

Ji Jiuying inquired about Ye Qingchen again.

The Ye family of Penglai Island sacrificed themselves to save the Heavenly Emperor and Empress during a riot tens of thousands of years ago. Only the youngest son, Ye Shenjun, survived in the vast Ye clan. To repay the Ye clan, the Heavenly Emperor betrothed the Goddess to Ye Shenjun and brought him to the Heavenly Palace to grow up with the Goddess.

As they grew up, the two became an enviable couple in the divine realm. They thought they would stay together forever, until one day the goddess met the God of War, Gong Ming.

The two fell in love over time and secretly pledged their lives to each other.

But how could the Heavenly Emperor agree to that? So he imprisoned the goddess in the Heavenly Palace, forbidding her to step out of the palace until the day she was to be married.

Poor Night God, he didn't even know his wife had been stolen away.

Later, the goddess fell ill from longing and grew increasingly thin. However, her marriage to the Night God had already been settled in the divine realm. If the Heavenly Lord were to break off the engagement at this time, it would cause dissatisfaction among the gods.

Lord Night God has loved the goddess for tens of thousands of years. Since he will not give up easily, he asked the Heavenly Lord and the God of War Gong Ming to fight, with the loser withdrawing. Unfortunately, before the battle was over, the God of War Gong Ming destroyed Mount Buzhou with one move, and all the Kunpeng clan trapped on Mount Buzhou died.

The Heavenly Emperor was enraged and ordered the removal of the God of War, Gongming, from his divine position and banishment to the mortal realm. Just as the execution was about to take place, the goddess imprisoned in the Heavenly Palace learned of this and somehow appeared on the God-Slaying Platform, shielding the God-Slaying Sword with her own body.

That goddess was foolish; how could her physical body withstand the God-Slaying Sword? The two embraced and were both pierced, falling to the mortal realm.

Lord Night God was also a devoted lover. He actually voluntarily dispersed his primordial spirit to protect the goddess's soul, and in the end, he even followed her to reincarnate.

Now, tens of thousands of years have passed, and Lord Night God has finally returned, but the God of War Palace and the Goddess Palace have not yet returned.

Ji Jiuying frowned. Ye Qingchen was the Night God, but the God of War was called Gong Ming. Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

Thinking back to what Ye Qingchen had told her about her past life, he said she had known her for a long time and that she had been mistakenly killed... How could this be so similar to the story of the goddess?

Ji Jiuying's heart trembled slightly. Could she be that goddess? Thinking of this, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this moment, she remembered another important matter: the death of the Kunpeng clan of Buzhou Mountain was actually caused by the arm of the God of War, Gong Ming. If Gong Ming was A Yue... how was she supposed to face Hei Xiangling?

As the two were talking, they arrived at the legendary Penglai Island.

Amidst the swirling mist and shimmering waves, a verdant island appears suspended in the sky, its peaks rising one after another, resembling a fairyland. Cranes soar through the air, divine birds sing sweetly, and white deer stroll leisurely among the clouds, adding to the mystical atmosphere. Some immortals seem to walk on clouds, traversing this fairyland.

"Sakura, that palace is where Lord Baili resides, and that one belongs to Lord Yuqing, and that's where Fairy Tianyin lives..."

Yingge introduced the location of Bailihe Palace to Ji Jiuying, who secretly memorized the location.

They soon arrived at the territory of the Night Clan, but unfortunately, the vast territory was occupied only by the Night God, surrounded by various deities.

Ji Jiuying and Yingge squeezed into the crowd.

"There are just too many people here!"

Yingge complained.
