Gu Liyan turned pale with fright. If that fireball had hit him, wouldn't that have been...?
Before Gu Liyan could think any further, Gu Yan grabbed her and hurriedly said, "Stop thinking about it, let's go!"
Gu Liyan was dragged along by Gu Yan, completely losing his own will, until Gu Yan led him into the cave behind the waterfall...
Gu Liyan sat weakly on the ground, still not recovered from the panic.
Seeing his dejected appearance, Gu Yan angrily dragged him up from the ground. "Mo Bai! Get up!"
Gu Liyan was pulled up by Gu Yan, and looking at Gu Yan, his hands trembled as he said, "I, I didn't..."
"Are you trembling?" Gu Yan said coldly, "As the Demon Emperor, you are actually trembling!"

As the Nine Netherworld Emperor drew closer, the familiar aura grew stronger, and Gu Liyan suddenly realized his identity: "You are the spirit of the Reincarnation Compass!"
"You've finally remembered..." The Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly, paused, and then said, "Lord Bai Ze!"
Gu Liyan stared wide-eyed at him in disbelief. "You, what did you just call me...?"
The Nine Netherworld Emperor's lips curled up, his obscured face seemingly carrying a mocking smile. "Lord Bai Ze, have you forgotten your true form?"
