Hua Baixian felt that the life force in her body had completely disappeared, which made her uneasy. If she didn't have any bargaining chips to negotiate with the Emperors, she wouldn't be able to save Gu Liyan...
But at this moment, Gu Liyan was holding Hua Baixian with a relaxed expression, showing no signs of the aftereffects of recovering from a serious illness.
Stepping out of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, they found a heavy atmosphere outside. Rui Xin and Qian Mo were arguing with Tian Yi and Tian Yu, blocking their way.
"Master, I already said this scene is not suitable for children, why did you still go in to join the fun!" Qianmo pointed at Tianyi with a mischievous grin, "Master, have you started down the path of perversion now?!"
"You brat, if you keep being disrespectful, I'll tell Tianxuan you're causing trouble here!" Tianyi was naturally unafraid of Qianmo and threatened her without any politeness.
"Hmph, I still have three years of confinement left anyway, I'm not afraid of a few more years!" Qianmo pouted aggrievedly.
Tianyu, who was standing to the side, hugged Ruixin and asked, "So, the alien race member didn't die?"
“Well, and…” Before Rui Xin could finish speaking, she saw Gu Liyan come out carrying a pale-faced Hua Baixian. “That’s the big brother!”
Seeing Gu Liyan's energetic appearance, Tianyi was immediately displeased: "You're still alive, kid!"
Hua Baixian glared at Tianyi with some anger. Gu Liyan was both amused and exasperated by her actions, and couldn't help but smile and say to Tianyi, "Fortunately, I am lucky and didn't let you have your way, Uncle."
"You're getting a good deal and still acting innocent! How long are you two going to keep hugging?" Tianyi rolled his eyes.
"Xiao Bai, wait for me a moment." Gu Liyan smiled slightly and put Hua Baixian down.
He walked up to Tianyi with a serious expression and said, "Although we've talked, we haven't had a proper introduction yet—"
Tianyi raised an eyebrow, looked at Gu Liyan, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I am Gu Liyan, a member of the demon race, belonging to the Gu clan of the Bai race. The first leader of the Bai race was the Ancient Desolate Emperor—Bai Ze!" Gu Liyan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. "Ten million years ago, the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Race and the White Emperor of the Demon Race helped each other overcome the Ancient Desolate Calamity. The White Emperor informed the Heavenly Emperor that the racial war would reignite ten million years later. I think it was after that that the Celestial Race established the Heavenly Rule of not associating with other races."
Upon hearing this, Tianyi looked at Gu Liyan in shock. "These are secrets left behind by the Heavenly Emperor. Apart from Tianxuan and me, no one else knows them. How could you know them?"
Gu Liyan looked at Tianyi and said, "The White Emperor left a password: if any member of our clan can ascend to the Heavenly Palace, they must assist the Heavenly Palace in overcoming this calamity."
Looking up, the dark vortex in the sky continued to expand. "You could have avoided this calamity, but you overlooked one thing..."
Lovers find it hard to let go of their deep affection, while those without love struggle to understand true feelings. The cycle of cause and effect is predetermined!

Hua Mansion
Hua Baixian lay quietly on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Gu Liyan sat beside her, examining her body multiple times. Having consumed a large amount of her essence and soul power, Hua Baixian's true soul as the Flower Goddess was no longer there.
Gu Liyan gently stroked her furrowed brows. "Xiao Bai, don't worry, I'm capable of protecting you now."
At this moment, Hua Yuxian walked in, glanced at the sleeping Hua Baixian, and then looked at Gu Liyan and said, "The news that you are alive has spread. Emperor Tianxuan is afraid that the gods will cause you trouble in private, so he hopes that you will go to him now."
"I understand, thank you." Gu Liyan turned around and smiled slightly at Hua Yuxian.
Hua Yuxian lowered her head and opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not uttering a word.
Just as Gu Liyan was about to pass by her, Hua Yuxian instinctively said, "Be careful!"
Gu Liyan was taken aback and looked at Hua Yuxian in surprise. Her face, which resembled Hua Baixian by three parts, had a strange blush on it.
"You must be careful... Apart from Xin'er, all eight Great God Kings are extremely dissatisfied with you." Hua Yuxian finally spoke her mind.
Gu Liyan smiled gratefully, "If they had attacked me before, I might have died, but now... no one in the Heavenly Clan can kill me!"
After saying that, Gu Liyan turned and left.

Xuantian Pavilion
Upon entering, Gu Liyan was immediately struck by the array layout of the Xuantian Pavilion. Arrays were everywhere, both inside and outside. Unlike the Tianji Pavilion, the interconnected arrays left him with a deep sense of admiration for the person who set them up.
However, the middle-aged man sitting in the hall ignoring him made Gu Liyan feel very uncomfortable, so he simply started playing with the "antiques" in his hall.
In order to give Gu Liyan a hard time, Tianxuan ignored him and focused on studying the art of calligraphy.
Ding-dong—
Gu Liyan stared at the jade teacup and tapped it hard.
Tianxuan's hand trembled, and a small flaw appeared on the paper.
Clang—
She accidentally knocked over some jade chess pieces, scattering them all over the floor. She glanced at Tianxuan, who seemed not to have noticed, then got up and ignored them, preparing to look at the candlestick next to her...
Tianxuan finally couldn't hold back any longer: "If you mess up other people's things, can't you put them back in their original places?!"
Gu Liyan blinked and chuckled. "Oh, I thought you were a servant cleaning the house! By the way, who are you? I'm waiting for Emperor Tianxuan here. If you're free, could you call him for me?"
Tianxuan couldn't help but twitch his lips. This cunning fox, what a hypocrite! He put down his pen and reluctantly began, "I am Tianxuan. You are the fox demon who disturbed my Heavenly Clan, aren't you?" Tianxuan said coldly.
Gu Liyan's lips curled up in a wicked smile. "I am Gu Liyan. I think you have misunderstood. I am a fox demon, but it is not me who is disturbing the Celestial Clan. It is that obscure and mysterious dark force in the sky. I think you should be able to tell who the real enemy is."
