The divine sense sensed that although this young girl was allied with the ancient sin gods, her heart was indeed kind. Clearly, the two had absolutely no connection, and could even be considered enemies. Yet, having been unexpectedly transported into the seal together, she not only showed no suspicion towards it, but also didn't even consider abandoning it, carelessly placing it back in such a crucial place as her divine sense. Surely she had been deceived by those two sin gods!
“Little…little girl…” the old man with divine sense called out.
"Hmm?" Youyou replied while looking for directions. "What's up?"
"You...you trust me so much that you'd put me into your consciousness?" He couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Do you know how important your consciousness is? Aren't you afraid that I might harm you from inside, or even...or even destroy your consciousness?" He knew that damage to one's consciousness was extremely difficult to repair, and if he wanted to, he could destroy it at any time, or even harm her life.
As soon as he finished speaking, Youyou stopped abruptly and stood still.
The old man with divine sense felt a chill in his heart. Sure enough, she hadn't thought of that just now! After all, she was still a mortal with limited experience. But it was too late to regret it now, even though he didn't want to hurt her.
The old man with divine sense sighed, and was about to say a few words to comfort her and show that he didn't mean it that way, when he suddenly saw her clench her hands and speak as if she was suppressing something.
"Old man..."
"Um?"
"Don't make me laugh!"
"Huh?" What does that mean? He wasn't teasing her!
"Let's figure out a way to get out of here as soon as possible!" You You sighed, then continued seriously, "Don't worry, I'm not panicking at all. There's no need to tell jokes to amuse me, otherwise... I'm afraid if I laugh, I won't be able to suppress my divine sense and will crush you to death. That would be troublesome!"
After all, he's so weak; suppressing his divine sense and not retaliating is already incredibly difficult for him!
Divine thought: "!!!!!!!!!"
You're fucking kidding me!
(⊙_⊙)
As Youyou walked along the cave, the demonic energy around her grew increasingly dense, but she didn't know why. As soon as she approached, the demonic energy around her would automatically disperse, as if it were avoiding some kind of natural enemy.
The demonic energy itself was fine, but she clearly saw some unknown formations set up with demonic energy. As she approached, the demonic energy supporting the formations disappeared completely, and the formations themselves became ineffective.
You You was momentarily at a loss for words. Was the formation dilapidated from years of neglect? Or had the demonic energy been frightened away by the lack of living beings? She had originally intended to ask the old man of divine sense, but ever since he had told a joke that failed to amuse her, he had been squatting motionless in the corner of her divine sense, looking utterly dejected.
Sigh, do older people really have too much pride?
Youyou could only keep walking in the direction of the cave. Because the terrain was relatively flat, she couldn't tell whether she was heading towards the exit or deeper inside. The cave was also deep and winding, and it took her almost half an hour to finish.
Until the road ahead widened, she turned a corner, and suddenly the view opened up before her. But she hadn't emerged from the cave; instead, she found herself in a vast abyss. They were at the bottom of the abyss, where vast expanses of black flowers and plants she had never seen before bloomed, their branches and leaves emanating wisps of black, demonic energy.
Among the flowers and grass, piles of white bones lay stacked high, like mountains, with each bone overlapping the others. One could vaguely make out enormous skulls with two horns atop the joints. Demonic energy flowed continuously from the empty eye sockets, as if… they would open their eyes at any moment.
This is……
Before she could examine it closely, the old man in her divine consciousness suddenly screamed, "Bone Dragon! It's a Bone Dragon! Ahhhhh! This kind of demonic dragon still exists! Little girl, run... run! This is a demonic dragon... a top-tier demon, even a god-king couldn't get away with it!"
"This...this is alive?!" You You was stunned, pointing to the pile of bones. "This is possible?!"
"Bone dragons have no physical form; they are born from demonic energy. They can be considered the kings of the demon race!" The old man's voice was even more horrified. "These are far more difficult to deal with than Mingye, not to mention there are so many of them. Quick! Little girl, let's get out of here before they wake up!" The old man was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.
"Hmm!" You You nodded. It was indeed not a good place to stay for long, so he quickly summoned his spirit sword and flew up. Since this was the bottom of the abyss, there should be an exit above.
She flew off on her sword, about to ascend. But then she caught a glimpse of red flashing in the middle of the mountain of bones, and her heart sank inexplicably.
"Huh? There seems to be someone over there!" She instinctively flew towards that direction, and sure enough, right in the middle of the pile of bones, there was a figure floating. It was a man dressed in black with long, fiery red hair. When she saw his face, even Youyou was startled.
It was a face even more stunning than Feng Rong and Yuan Qi's, as if it were created by the very essence of heaven and earth, beautiful without a single flaw, every feature seemingly perfectly aligning with one's aesthetic sensibilities, the kind that would captivate anyone who looked at it.
He appeared to be asleep, his eyes tightly closed, floating in mid-air, surrounded by a strange energy. Even though it was the first time they had met, Youyou felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she should know him.
“He is…” She subconsciously reached out, but her hand passed right through him, and she only touched nothingness.
Huh?
"An illusion?" Upon closer inspection, she realized that the other party was indeed just a phantom, completely without substance. She couldn't touch anything when she reached out her hand. Despite the incredibly realistic image, the other party seemed to exist in another space.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, something suddenly appeared in her palm. Looking down, she saw a small golden bell in her hand. Before she could examine it closely, the object flashed and disappeared.
At the same time, she vaguely felt that something had appeared in her mind. Subconsciously focusing her attention, she saw that a new icon had suddenly appeared in her game skill bar. Next to the "God Travels Through the Myriad Realms" icon, it looked like the bell from before, and upon closer inspection, the character "天" (heaven) could be faintly seen on the bell.
What's going on?!
Youyou was startled. Had she suddenly acquired a skill book?
Suddenly, I remembered what the Underworld Messenger mentioned about the Book of Heaven and the Book of Yin. Heaven? Could this be the 'Heaven' scroll they're looking for?
"Little girl, what's wrong?" the old man with divine sense suddenly asked. "Why do you keep grabbing that ball of red demonic energy?"
"Demonic energy?" Youyou was taken aback, glancing at the lingering phantom before her. "There's someone here, can't you see them?"
