As the Xuanwu divine beast spoke, the small tornadoes formed by the surrounding chaotic energy began to converge towards the largest tornado.
Where the tornadoes converged, a fierce wind arose, and chaotic energy surged like a raging torrent, as if the sky had been torn apart, revealing a hideous crack.
The Xuanwu divine beast stomped heavily on the ground with its four limbs, each step seemingly proclaiming its determination and power. It slowly approached Si Mingye, its massive body bringing with it waves of chilling wind pressure.
"Hmph, Demon God, if you had come to rescue your demon generals when you were more powerful, I would have been no match for you. What a pity, a mere Chaos Realm Immortal cultivator, I could crush you with a single finger!" The Xuanwu Divine Beast's voice boomed like thunder, carrying an undeniable majesty. "Today, I will settle this old grudge for my master!"
"Wait...don't kill her!"
Chu Wanwan hurriedly flew towards Si Mingye, stopping between the Xuanwu Beast and the chaotic energy cluster. Even without entering the center of the energy cluster, Chu Wanwan could feel the tearing force, but she couldn't care less; she couldn't let the Xuanwu Beast kill Si Mingye like that.
"Black Tortoise Divine Beast, you must not kill him!" Chu Wanwan shouted loudly. Her voice was somewhat weak in the chaotic energy, but she still tried her best to speak, "I am the reincarnation of the Goddess of Life, and I command you as your master! You must not kill him!"
Chu Wanwan stood between the chaotic energy mass and the Xuanwu Beast. The powerful tearing force and pressure made her feel as if her body was about to be torn apart, but she still stood firmly, looking directly into the majestic eyes of the Xuanwu Beast.
"Goddess of Life?" The Xuanwu Divine Beast's voice carried a hint of doubt. Its eyes, gleaming with a cold light, narrowed slightly, as if recalling a distant past. "Are you truly the reincarnation of my master?"
"Yes, I am indeed the reincarnation of the Goddess of Life." Chu Wanwan's voice was weak, but full of determination. "As your master, I command you not to lay a hand on Si Mingye!"
The Xuanwu divine beast remained silent for a moment, its majestic eyes fixed on Chu Wanwan, seemingly assessing her words. Then, it slowly spoke.
"You do look very much like my master, but that does not prove your identity. As everyone knows, the immortals can change their appearance."
And even if you are my master, today, I will surely slay the demon god! In my past life, my master, due to his mercy, failed to kill the demon god in time, causing him to lose his mind and commit a grave mistake. This mistake, I will atone for with my own life!
"I do not wish to relive the events of my past life. Therefore, today I must slay the Demon God to prevent future troubles!" The Xuanwu Divine Beast's voice was cold, firm, and unwavering, brooking no argument.
"No! You can't kill him! We still need him!" Chu Wanwan had no choice but to use her trump card: "Do you know that if the God Realm is not supported by divine power, it will slowly collapse over time? You should also know the consequences of the collapse of the God Realm. It will cause turmoil in the Six Realms and the withering of all things. Is this what you want to see?"
Upon hearing this, the Xuanwu divine beast's eyes flashed with astonishment. It naturally understood the consequences of the collapse of the divine realm—a devastating catastrophe from which no one in the six realms could escape.
"Are you threatening me?" The Xuanwu Divine Beast's voice turned cold, clearly doubting Chu Wanwan's words.
"No, I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating the facts." Chu Wanwan shook her head and said, "My divine power alone cannot support the God Realm. Si Mingye is the reincarnation of a demon god, and his divine power can help me. If you kill him, the God Realm will lose this power, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
The Xuanwu divine beast fell silent, clearly weighing the pros and cons. Chu Wanwan's words forced it to reconsider its decision.
"Moreover, I believe that Si Mingye will not become a demon," Chu Wanwan continued. "He has been trying hard to control himself. He doesn't want to become a demon god, and he doesn't want to bring disaster. Give him a chance, and give all of us a chance."
The Xuanwu divine beast's eyes flickered with complex light, as if it were waging a fierce struggle deep within its heart. Finally, it slowly nodded and said, "Alright, I will spare him for now. However, if he shows any signs of demonic possession, I will not hesitate to take action."
"Okay, I definitely won't stop you then."
Chu Wanwan said sincerely.
"Hmm! In that case, now you shall prove your identity! If you dare to lie to me, you and he will both die today!" The four divine beasts are extremely loyal to the Goddess of Life, and none of them will allow anyone to impersonate their master and deceive others!
"Could we collect those chaotic energy clusters first? He's in great danger right now!"
Chu Wanwan watched as the demonic energy around Si Mingye gradually thinned, and his originally white hair and crimson eyes returned to normal. She knew that Si Mingye had suppressed his demonic nature. This meant that Si Mingye would soon be unable to hold on any longer.
The Xuanwu Beast glanced at Si Mingye's condition, frowned, and then slowly withdrew the surrounding chaotic energy. As the energy dissipated, the surrounding air instantly became fresh, and the suffocating oppressive feeling disappeared as well.
Si Mingye plummeted from mid-air, only to be caught by Chu Wanwan. She then placed him in the spiritual spring pool within the space and released her mother.
As soon as Chu Lan emerged, she lunged at Chu Wanwan, her ten fingers forming claws as she reached for Chu Wanwan's throat. However, Chu Wanwan seemed to have anticipated this, dodging Chu Lan's attack with a swift movement, and simultaneously delivering a chop to the back of Chu Lan's neck, knocking her unconscious.
"What's wrong with her?" the Xuanwu divine beast asked, somewhat puzzled.
