Although Ruan Xiyan had never met her mother, she had heard many things about her from her father, the emperor.
A hint of confusion flashed across Ruan Xiyan's face. Who exactly is this goddess?
The Queen Mother is dead; it's impossible for her to be this noble goddess of the divine race. Their similar appearance must be a coincidence...
While Ruan Xiyan was staring at Fu Lizhi, Fu Lizhi was also sizing up Ruan Xiyan.
Why did she feel a strange, sharp pain in her heart when she saw this little girl? That uncomfortable feeling only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
Fu Lizhi suppressed her unease and looked at Ruan Xiyan. "You do have demonic energy on you, but your body is that of a mortal. It is truly rare to cultivate demonic energy with a mortal body and still be able to contain such powerful demonic energy."
Even with her extensive knowledge, she had never seen such a peculiar situation.
"Your Highness, what are you waiting for? The demonic energy on her body cannot be faked. Demons are the enemies of the gods. All demons can be exterminated by the gods."
Ruan Xiyan looked at Fu Lizhi warily.
The goddess's strength gave her a feeling of unfathomable power, and she was no weaker than Fu Yashan, who was always shouting for a fight.
“Although she has demonic energy, she is not a member of the demon race,” Fu Lizhi said.
"Your Highness, so what! Since she dares to cultivate demonic energy, she may attack the God Clan in the future. It is best to eliminate the threat forever."
"Even if she is a member of the demon race, my sword will only slay demons who commit evil deeds. There are good and bad demons, and there are also good and bad gods. If a member of the god race disregards human life, I will punish them severely without leniency."
Fu Lizhi glanced at Fu Yashan, "It's none of your business how I decide. If you dare to shout again, I'll sew your mouth shut."
"This matter on the cultivation continent ends here. Fu Yashan, you have abused your divine power without authorization and disregarded human life. You should come back to the God Clan with me to receive your punishment first." Fu Lizhi's tone was icy.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yashan immediately dared not say anything more.
Fu Lizhi had even killed her half-siblings, and her ruthlessness was notorious among the gods.
Fu Lizhi looked at Fu Chishang, her voice becoming calmer, "Chishang, Father's birthday is coming soon. Didn't you prepare a gift for Father? Now come back with me."
With Achi's relationship with his father so strained, she never imagined that one day Achi would take the initiative to bow down to his father. If possible, she sincerely hoped that the relationship between her father and Achi could be eased.
Fu Chishang nodded. "Sister, you go first, I'll be there in a bit."
Fu Lizhi raised her hand and waved it, creating a void in the air. She was the first to step into it.
Fu Yashan watched Fu Lizhi's retreating figure, her eyes filled with jealousy. Her father had many children, but Fu Lizhi was the one he favored the most.
She was even bestowed the title of the only Goddess of the God Clan by her father, who granted her immense power. Everyone who met her had to respectfully address her as Goddess.
Her father was grooming her to be his successor. Despite being his child, Fu Lizhi was enjoying such a privilege, which made her feel resentful.
But she didn't dare to openly confront Fu Lizhi, so she could only follow along unwillingly.
Fu Chishang walked up to Ruan Xiyan and said, "Xiao Xi, it was all because of me that the Illusionary Hidden Sect suffered this calamity, and it implicated you as well."
“It’s not your fault. No one can avoid encountering a dog that bites randomly,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
"Xiao Xi, Sect Master Ye, I have something to attend to and need to return to the Divine Clan. I'll be leaving now." Fu Chishang looked at Ruan Xiyan and Ye Shu.
He searched for some rare and strange treasures in the cultivation world, intending to give them as gifts to the God of the Divine Race on his birthday.
He had no intention of mending his relationship with his cold-blooded and ruthless father; he only hoped to never have to deal with him again in this lifetime.
However, he couldn't ignore his sister's situation; he had to personally investigate the matter of her memories being altered.
The treasure that can alter memories... he seemed to have thought of something, and he needed to check out the divine treasury of the gods.
While the Divine Treasury might not be considered a particularly important place, given his current awkward status within the Divine Race, he probably wouldn't be able to enter.
If he asked his elder sister for help, he was afraid that she would become suspicious, so he could only take advantage of the opportunity of presenting gifts on his father's birthday to ask for a reward to enter the divine treasury.
"Fu Chishang, be very careful when you go to the God Clan." Ye Shu's tone was slightly worried.
Judging from what we just saw, although he is a member of the gods, his situation within the gods is not as good as one might imagine.
The gods may sound like an unapproachable, sacred force, but the dangers and turbulent waves they contain are unpredictable to ordinary people.
"I wish Sect Leader Fu a safe and successful journey. Take care," Ruan Xiyan said.
Under the watchful eyes of Ruan Xiyan and Ye Shu, Fu Chishang stepped into the void, his figure disappearing from sight.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Ye Shu, "Sect Leader Ye, how are your injuries? Are they serious?"
Ye Shu shook her head, "It's nothing."
Ruan Xiyan handed her a pill, "You still can't be careless. Sect Leader Ye, take this pill; it will help you recover from your injuries."
Ye Shu did not refuse. She accepted the pill and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sect Leader Ruan."
"Sect Leader Ye, given the current state of the Illusionary Hidden Sect, it's not convenient for us to keep you any longer. We'll invite you to visit us another time when the opportunity arises." Ruan Xiyan looked around at the cracked ground and the houses and palaces destroyed by the aftershocks of the power.
"Sect Leader Ruan, if there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask. After all, we've been through thick and thin together," Ye Shu said.
Ruan Xiyan smiled and said, "Alright, if there's a real need, I won't stand on ceremony with Sect Master Ye."
Ye Shu clasped her hands in a fist salute to Ruan Xiyan, "Until we meet again, Sect Leader Ruan."
After Ye Shu left, Ruan Xiyan looked at Yu Qiqi and the others, "How are you all?"
"Sister Yan, we're all fine," Yu Qiqi replied.
She was facing the gods for the first time, and she was incredibly strong! She could sense the insurmountable gap between them and the gods.
When faced with the powerful gods, they could do nothing but be slaughtered.
Seeing Yu Qiqi's dejected look, Ruan Xiyan patted her shoulder and said, "You've done very well. If you hadn't gathered your power into me just now, I wouldn't have been able to hurt Fu Yashan so easily."
The gods were far more powerful than she had imagined. If it weren't for the goddess's appearance in the end, even if all the top forces on the cultivation continent gathered together, they wouldn't have been able to stop the power of a god-king.
Compared to behemoths like the gods, everything on the cultivation continent is nothing but ants in their eyes, beings that can be wiped out with a wave of their hand.
It seems we need to keep getting stronger and can't stop!
