Fang Yao nodded expressionlessly, but a faint glimmer appeared in her empty eyes.
She raised her fair little hand, and countless rays of multicolored light suddenly appeared from it, from which a multicolored divine spark converged. At the very moment the multicolored divine spark appeared, the multicolored light intensified and continued to spread.
Centered on Fang Yao, the multicolored rays of light spread wildly, covering hundreds of miles, tens of thousands of miles, millions of miles...
In just a moment, the entire Taotie Divine Kingdom was enveloped in a five-colored glow. Hundreds of millions of living beings looked up at the sky, and the five colors came into view. The sacred and gentle light gave people a sense of warmth, like returning to the embrace of their mother.
"The goddess Nuwa has appeared!"
"It's the Goddess Nuwa!"
Hundreds of millions of people shouted fervently, as if they had seen the faith they had pursued all their lives.
Inside the Cangming Kingdom's palace, Ling Ling gazed at the multicolored light that filled the sky and earth, her eyes filled with complex emotions—gratification, sadness, but no jealousy.
She murmured to herself, "So you've finally taken that step, Yao Yao? Perhaps... you're more suited to wield the divine title of Nuwa than I am."
The only thing I can do for you, sister, is to protect the divine kingdom for you.
A rainbow of colors swept across the sky and earth. As it spread to the edge of the world, in an instant, the rainbow of colors reversed and frantically receded.
And those billions of living beings bathed in the glow of the sunset vanished, replaced by an endless gray fog.
After a long time, there were no more living beings in the Taotie Kingdom, only endless gray fog and eeriness.
Fang Xiu and the other two stood amidst the gray mist, which dared not approach, as the mist and the eerie roars within it were all blocked by the multicolored light emanating from Fang Yao.
That was the protection of Nuwa's divine essence. Under the light of the divine essence, Fang Xiu and Xu Ruohai's spirituality remained completely unharmed. Taotie was ultimately unable to devour their spirituality through the protection of Nuwa's divine essence.
"Let's go," Fang Xiu said calmly.
Fang Yao nodded, glanced back at the endless gray fog, and finally followed Fang Xiu away from the place where she had lived since childhood.
With a wave of her small hand, unimaginable power erupted from her divine core, causing the Taotie Divine Kingdom to tremble violently, and a five-colored pillar of light that reached the heavens enveloped everyone.
Whoosh!
The beam of light shrank instantly, becoming thinner and thinner until it disappeared completely, along with Fang Xiu and the other two.
When they reappeared, they had already reached the other side.
The endless gray fog and eerie howls remained, but the only difference was that the gray fog here was more aggressive and the eeriness was stronger.
"Is this the outside world?" Fang Yao looked around with empty eyes, her expression indifferent.
In fact, this is a heavy blow to those who leave the Taotie Divine Kingdom for the first time. Imagine, you have worked hard to cultivate and finally reached the peak, breaking free from the cage of heaven and earth, only to find that the so-called immortal realm is an even bigger cage. Under such a blow, it is easy for your Dao heart to collapse.
Fortunately, Fang Yao's spiritual sustenance was never ascension, but Fang Xiu. Where she was was not important to her; what mattered was that wherever Fang Xiu was, she was there.
"Finally... finally out!" Xu Ruohai exclaimed excitedly, recalling the suffering he endured in the Taotie Divine Kingdom and his return now, which filled him with overwhelming emotion.
Fang Xiu did not share their sentiments. Instead, he took a deep breath and felt the continuous flow of gray mist entering his body, which made him feel refreshed.
He still preferred the gray fog on the other side; it was more intense.
roar!
A roar that shook the ages resounded.
Five-colored rays of light automatically appeared on Fang Yao's body, protecting her from the impact of the sound waves, while Xu Ruohai summoned a cyan light shield.
Fang Xiu remained motionless; the sound waves filled with eerie, divine murmurs did not harm him in the slightest, for it was the Taotie that was roaring.
After many years, when Fang Xiu saw Taotie again, he noticed that Taotie seemed unhappy. Although it was still eating, it wasn't eating happily, but rather eating angrily...
While eating, it stared at the three of them with fierce eyes, as if it were about to launch an attack.
Xu Ruohai was the first to back down. Although he was much bolder now, that courage was only limited to those below the level of gods. When he saw a real god, he would still back down.
"Lord Fang Xiu, I feel that something is wrong with this Taotie. Originally, its gaze towards us was full of appetite, but now it seems to be mixed with a hint of anger?"
“That’s normal. Taotie’s greatest hobby is eating. We emptied out Nuwa’s divine kingdom from its belly, so naturally it’s angry,” Fang Xiu said calmly.
"So what do we do now?"
"Of course we left. Taotie is hard to kill, so there's no need to waste time here."
After saying that, Fang Xiu led the two of them and rushed off into the distance at top speed.
As he said, you can fight any demon god to the death, but don't fight the Taotie. That thing is impossible to kill and it's a complete waste of time.
A moment later, the three of them appeared thousands of miles away.
“Lord Fang Xiu, Taotie is heavy and slow. We’ve run this far, so it definitely won’t be able to catch up with us,” Xu Ruohai said slowly.
However, the next second, a shocking change occurred!
The gray fog, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, churned violently, boiling like fire!
At the same time, the heavens and earth trembled violently, and the void surged.
"Wow!"
A strange baby's cry suddenly rang out.
The sound was like a demonic whisper, piercing straight into the eardrums and penetrating deep into the soul.
"Ah!" Xu Ruohai screamed in agony. He slapped his ears hard with both hands, and the next moment, bright red blood flowed from his ears. He had actually ruptured his eardrums to fight back against the strange baby's cry.
As for the two men surnamed Fang, one ignored the crying, and the other was protected by a deity; both remained unharmed.
"What on earth is that sound?!" Xu Ruohai was horrified. He never expected that with his current divine body, he would be so severely injured just by hearing the cry of a baby.
Fang Xiu looked into the depths of the gray fog. In the endless darkness, it seemed that a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at him, accompanied by a familiar yet strange aura.
It felt familiar because this aura resembled that of the Taotie, but it felt unfamiliar because this aura was clearly stronger than that of the Taotie.
At this moment, Fang Yao gave the answer: "It's a mythological form! The mythological form of the Taotie!"
What is the mythological form of Taotie?
Fang Xiu frowned slightly: "Isn't the mythological form exclusive to Nuwa?"
Fang Yao shook her head: "Mythical form is an ability possessed by every god. To be precise, mythical form is their true form. However, maintaining their true form requires a great deal of divine power, so under normal circumstances, gods do not maintain their mythical form, but only remain in their normal state, unless they encounter a life-or-death battle, or are extremely angry..."
As the two were talking, another shocking event occurred. They were astonished to find that the ground beneath their feet was moving, or rather, it was moving backwards at an alarming rate, as if something behind them was constantly pulling the earth away.
The three of them immediately took off and left the ground, but their bodies were still moving backward.
Xu Ruohai looked around at the void and was instantly horrified: "It's space! The space here is receding!"
