"What's going on?" Li Daoyi looked at Mengmeng in confusion. That guy must have been scared by Mengmeng just now.

"Eeya?" Mengmeng looked puzzled.

At this moment, a lot of strange black energy emanated from the abyss, and then the entrance to the abyss slowly shrank, it seemed that Nordens wanted to close the entrance to the abyss.

"Trying to run?" Li Daoyi smiled slightly, grabbed the entrance of the abyss cave with his palm, and then made a pulling motion outwards.

The white-haired old man was instantly dragged out.

Nordens stared blankly at the two people in front of him, especially Mengmeng, whose face turned ashen instantly.

"Don't eat me, spare me, spare me, I'll leave this world right now," Nordens pleaded.

"Stop shouting. You're a god, after all," Li Daoyi said, frowning.

"..." Nordens quickly shut his mouth, looking pitifully at Li Daoyi.

"I'll ask you a question, and you answer it. Do you understand?"

Nordens nodded quickly.

Then Li Daoyi pointed at Mengmeng and asked.

"You know her?"

Nordens' pupils contracted sharply, his eyes seemed to lose focus, and he was gripped by fear. He nodded, trembling all over, and he didn't even dare to look at Mengmeng.

"When, where, and how did you meet?" Li Daoyi continued to press.

"M-M-Sir, if I tell you, will you let me go?" Nordens pleaded.

"I can let you go." Li Daoyi nodded.

Norden immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said.

“I…I don’t remember the time. A long, long time ago, in the Dark Universe, the universe created by Azathoth. It was terrifying. We were attacked by countless powerful beings, so powerful, beings I’d never seen before. By the way, the aura you have is exactly the same as some of theirs,” Snowden said haltingly.

"A powerful figure like me? A cultivator?" Li Daoyi was slightly startled.

"Anything else?" Li Daoyi asked again.

“Those people were too strong. The Old Gods, the Outer Gods, the Ancient Gods—none of them were a match for them. That terrifying and strange power even restrained us. We were defeated. All the dark creatures died. And this child, she…she…she ate Azathoth. That was Azathoth! Just like that, he was squeezed into a ball of flesh and eaten. I will never forget that scene, never.” Snowden raised his head and mustered his courage to look at Mengmeng and said.

"Eeya?" The little guy tilted his head and tried his best to remember.

How did you escape?

“I…I hid in the spatial node from the very beginning, and I didn’t…I didn’t participate in the battle. After Azathoth died, I ran away and wandered in the void for who knows how long before I accidentally came across this world,” Snowden said honestly.

Li Daoyi fell silent upon hearing this. There were countless powerful figures, including cultivators. Although he didn't know how terrifying the Dark Universe was, even Snowden, that coward, had the strength of a quasi-saint, which showed that the Dark Universe was not weak. Then Li Daoyi bent down and patted Mengmeng's head.

"I don't remember!" Mengmeng seemed a little aggrieved, pouting her little mouth. She was also helpless about losing her memory.

“It’s okay. No matter who you are, you’re still my sister,” Li Daoyi said gently.

"Mmm." The little guy's eyes regained their sparkle, and he nodded excitedly.

Li Daoyi stood up and looked at Nordens again.

"Did you hear their names? And who is their leader?" Li Daoyi asked again.

"No...I don't know. I was too scared. I was too far away. I only saw a tall figure with a terrifying aura. He saw me, but he didn't attack me. Then I ran away," Snowden said, shaking his head.

Li Daoyi's mind was instantly transported back to many years ago, when he was about to leave Yang Guo's world. The little girl was still an egg at that time. The moment she first uttered her name, Mengmeng, strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the heavens and earth, and a powerful aura emerged. The world was almost destroyed, but fortunately, the mysterious being abandoned its descent because of Mengmeng.

"Take good care of Mengmeng." Li Daoyi couldn't help but repeat the words left to him by the mysterious being through the system.

"Who exactly are you? You must have been the one who did the things in the Dark Universe. And what is your relationship with Mengmeng?" Li Daoyi couldn't help but wonder.

In his mind's eye, he felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth. The mysterious Niu Er, the appearance of the system, and even his later encounter with Mengmeng—none of it seemed to be a coincidence.

"M-Sir, may I leave now?" Nordens' voice pulled Li Daoyi back to reality.

"Of course, I keep my word. If I can't persuade you, I won't do anything to you." Li Daoyi nodded with a smile.

Norden was overjoyed, only to find that the power that had been binding him had also disappeared.

However, just as he turned to jump back into the abyss, a small figure appeared in front of him.

"Hehe..." It was Mengmeng, the little guy licked his lips.

Nordens' lips trembled a few times, and before he could speak, his whole body began to tremble, and his energy was rapidly disappearing. Mengmeng opened her little mouth and absorbed the dark energy from Nordens' body.

“I’m letting you go, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let you go without Mengmeng. You’ve been a menace to this world for thousands of years, and you still think you can leave? How naive.” Li Daoyi’s voice reached Nordens’ ears.

Nordens' eyes were filled with resentment, but it was all in vain. In a short while, he vanished into thin air, turning into pure dark energy that was absorbed by Mengmeng. Even his lair, the Abyss, was swallowed up by Mengmeng in one gulp.

"It's so delicious, it tastes so familiar," Mengmeng said, licking her lips.

"bite..."

"Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden mission. The reward has been issued."

A system voice came through.

Li Daoyi opened the mission panel and saw that the approval rate had exceeded 90%, and the Water Blue Star Crisis was also marked as completed. He had become the owner of Water Blue Star, and there was also a golden card in his inventory, which should be the World Fusion Card.

"Let's go back." Li Daoyi picked up Mengmeng in his arms.

Then the space cracked open, and the two went inside.

In the blink of an eye, Li Daoyi and Mengmeng arrived above the Blue Star. An unknown power emanated from the Blue Star, and Li Daoyi felt a sense of familiarity. He then closed his eyes and began to sense it.

The ocean, the land, the sky, the mountains, the cities, the humans, the animals—everything appeared in his consciousness, and he became the master of the Blue Planet.

"What a wonderful feeling," Li Daoyi exclaimed as he opened his eyes.

He had a feeling that if he wanted to, he could immediately cause volcanoes to erupt, earthquakes to occur on land, and the seas to roar; the destruction of humanity was just a thought away.

"Hmm?" Just then, Li Daoyi suddenly realized that Mengmeng in his arms had actually fallen asleep.

"What's going on? The timing is wrong." Li Daoyi was puzzled. Mengmeng had a regular sleep schedule, and this was not her usual sleeping time.

"Could it be?" A thought popped into Li Daoyi's mind.

"Mengmeng, Mengmeng." Li Daoyi patted Mengmeng on the back.

However, the little guy didn't react at all.

"As expected, this guy is about to evolve again," Li Daoyi said helplessly. Every time this guy goes into a deep sleep, he becomes even stronger. Speaking of which, Mengmeng already seems strong enough. He has never been able to see through the little guy's strength, as if there is no upper limit.

"Don't sleep too long." Li Daoyi pinched the little guy's cute little nose helplessly.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Daoyi put Mengmeng on the bed.

"Hey, boss, why is Mengmeng asleep?" Saitama asked, looking puzzled.

"I wonder how long she'll sleep. Mengmeng must be evolving," Li Daoyi said.

A faint white light emanated from Mengmeng's body, very gentle, so Li Daoyi had to set up a barrier to isolate this energy.

"Oh, I'm so envious. I get up at four in the morning every day to exercise," Saitama said with a look of envy.

Li Daoyi rolled his eyes at the guy, saying, "Nobody forced you."

After Tang Ning took back the books given to him by Li Daoyi, Elder Song immediately mobilized scholars from the entire alliance to study them and selected a group of outstanding children to begin cultivating them immediately. Xiao Kui was one of them.

In just one week, Xiao Kui became the first to break through the Qi Refining stage, and she was still improving at an extremely rapid pace. People finally understood the importance of these cultivation techniques; they were something that could truly change the future of humanity.

Eventually, Elder Song and others could no longer resist and began cultivating themselves, and then started to promote the cultivation of immortality extensively.

The people of Water Blue Star were in an uproar. The emergence of a new realm gave everyone a pleasant surprise, and statues of Li Daoyi were erected in the center of every city.

With the official promotion, cultivation manuals were distributed to the public without reservation, not only in China, but also in the European Alliance and other small alliances. However, compared to the Chinese, people in other alliances found it difficult to understand the contents of these manuals.

Ultimately, through Elder Song's mediation, a group of scholars were sent to provide guidance. When the other members of the alliance saw these scholars arriving on their swords, they were filled with envy.

Because of Li Daoyi, the courtyard became a sacred place in people's hearts. Countless people came to the outer city every day. Since the area around the courtyard was designated as a restricted zone, people would meditate and cultivate outside the restricted zone, as if they felt that this would bring them closer to the gods.

What's truly enviable are Xiao Kui and Tang Ning. With permission, they can go to the courtyard every day to receive individual guidance from Li Daoyi, and their cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds, making Elder Song and the others extremely envious.

"Sir, is that world really that powerful?" On this day, Li Daoyi told the two of them the story of the Journey to the West world.

“It is naturally powerful for you.” Li Dao nodded.

"I never imagined that such a powerful world would be attacked like us. We're so lucky to have met you, sir," Tang Ning said, still somewhat shaken. The thought of such a powerful world ending up with only a few thousand people filled Tang Ning with immense terror.

"Strive to cultivate diligently. The path to enlightenment is endless, and you have a very long way to go," Li Daoyi instructed the two.

"Yes," the two women replied quickly.
