The white-clad youth's lips curled slightly upwards as he met Ling Xueyan's gaze with a half-smile, his eyes clear and deep.
He spoke softly, his voice seemingly coming from the distant heavens: "I shouldn't be considered a true ancient god."
After a brief pause, he continued, "To be precise, I am merely an avatar of an ancient god."
"Although I am an avatar of an ancient god, I do not possess the power of an ancient god, so you don't need to imagine me to be too strong!"
"My only advantage over you is that I have more experience and more methods."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xueyan's tense expression instantly relaxed, but a hint of undisguised apprehension could still be detected in her eyes.
It seems that she harbors a deep fear of the ancient gods.
"Hehe..." Upon seeing this, the white-robed youth curled his lip indifferently, then said with a smile, "Alright, now that we are partners, let me introduce myself to you all."
He stood upright with his hands behind his back, exuding an extraordinary and refined air.
"My name is Qing Jie, and I am an avatar of an ancient god."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng glanced at him indifferently and simply stated his name: "Qin Feng".
Immediately afterwards, Ling Xueyan responded in the same calm tone, "Ling Xueyan."
Despite Qin Feng and Ling Xueyan's cold attitude, the young man in white did not show the slightest dissatisfaction or concern.
He slowly turned around, staring straight ahead, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"The entrance to the Primordial Chaos Realm is just ahead." His voice was low and serious.
"However, getting close to this entrance is by no means easy; you are very likely to encounter various powerful formations along the way."
"There's also a chance we might encounter the mysterious guardians of the Primordial Chaos Realm!"
"The guardian of the Primordial Chaos Realm?" Upon hearing this, Qin Feng frowned slightly, turned his head in confusion, and cast his gaze at Ling Xueyan beside him.
However, to his surprise, Ling Xueyan's expression was unusually calm, as if she already knew about this matter, without showing any surprise or other emotions.
Seeing Ling Xueyan's reaction, Qin Feng's heart sank.
Clearly, Ling Xueyan should be aware of the existence of the guardians of the Primordial Origin Realm.
This instantly made Qin Feng feel uneasy, because he believed that he and Ling Xueyan had walked side by side all the way, gone through life and death trials, and could be said to be friends in adversity.
Therefore, he naively believed that this woman would be honest with him and would not hide anything important from him.
But now it seems that his idea was a bit too naive.
Just as Qin Feng was pondering to himself, Ling Xueyan seemed to suddenly notice his gaze, which was filled with doubt and dissatisfaction.
So she slowly turned her head, and their eyes met in mid-air.
In just a moment, Ling Xueyan accurately guessed Qin Feng's innermost thoughts from his eyes.
Faced with Qin Feng's suspicion, Ling Xueyan hesitated for a moment before revealing a hint of helplessness on her face. She sighed softly and said, "I didn't mean to hide anything from you."
"It's because my memory hasn't fully recovered yet, and I only have a vague impression of the specific details of certain things."
After listening to Ling Xueyan's detailed and patient explanation, Qin Feng's tense and gloomy expression finally eased a little, but one could still see the dissatisfaction and doubt hidden deep in his heart.
Just then, Qing Jie, who had been observing coldly, suddenly spoke up slowly: "Stop talking about these things. Anyway, we all have to put aside our past grievances and work together now."
"After all, the guardian of the Primordial Origin Realm possesses unfathomable and terrifying strength! Even if the three of us work together, we probably wouldn't be able to be 100% confident of successfully dealing with it."
As soon as Qing Jie finished speaking, suddenly, without warning, an extremely powerful and suffocating pressure came from afar!
This oppressive force, like a surging, monstrous wave, swept towards them with overwhelming force.
At the same time, the originally calm and stable space around them began to twist and deform violently, as if it were being kneaded by an invisible hand.
Immediately afterwards, in this distorted and deformed space, complex and mysterious array runes faintly appeared.
These array runes shimmered with strange light, intertwining to form a huge and complex array that trapped the three of them firmly within it.
"The Four Symbols Annihilation Heaven-Slaying Formation!" Qing Jie's eyes were like torches as he stared intently at the formation that was flashing with mysterious light. His heart sank, and his face was instantly filled with gloom.
He was knowledgeable and experienced, so he immediately recognized the origin of the formation.
However, precisely because he was well aware of the power of this formation, his body began to tremble involuntarily, as if enveloped by an invisible fear.
Standing to the side, Ling Xueyan's once beautiful face had turned extremely gloomy, as oppressive as the sky before a storm.
She bit her lip tightly, muttering to herself, "What's going on? How could such a terrifying, unparalleled killing formation exist here?"
Clearly, she was also shocked and confused by the sudden appearance of the formation.
Seeing Qing Jie and Ling Xueyan's unusual reactions, Qin Feng's heart tightened, and his brows furrowed tightly.
He looked at the two of them with suspicion and asked, "Just how powerful is this Four Symbols Annihilation Heaven-Slaying Formation? How could it cause you to lose your composure like this?"
Qing Jie took a deep breath with a gloomy expression, as if he wanted to inhale all the surrounding air into his stomach. His solemn expression sent a chill down one's spine.
He slowly began to speak: "This formation has four main array eyes, and each main array eye is guarded by an incomparably powerful divine beast! Its power is truly earth-shattering!"
At this point, Qing Jie paused slightly, then continued, "These four divine beasts are the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise!"
"Each of them possesses a unique and mysterious power, continuously providing the array with four powerful energy sources: Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Geng Metal Qi, Li Fire True Flame, and Xuanming Heavy Water, to support the normal operation of the entire array!"
Qin Feng frowned slightly. He had never heard of anything like Yi Wood Divine Thunder or Geng Metal Qi.
However, judging from Qing Jie's apprehensive expression, the power of the Four Symbols Annihilation Heaven-Slaying Formation must be extremely terrifying.
