Gradually, more and more wild dogs appeared, and they began to feed on corpses. Some of them became ferocious beasts, while others evolved into spirit beasts, specifically Advanced Spirit Beasts.
They even discovered a wild dog that had accepted the essence of a divine beast.
The wild dogs established a massive Corpse Dump, where they dragged corpses from all around and buried them in the ground for future consumption. This indicates that when the Tragedy occurred, some wild dogs had already developed intelligence and understood strategies.
Guan Yue looked at the wild dogs scattered across the mountains and suddenly came up with a plan.
He wanted Lan Xuelei to cooperate with him to capture this wild dog that was close to becoming a divine beast.
During the confrontation, Guan Yue realized that he did not need Lan Xuelei's assistance at all. Once his Origin Energy fully unleashed, the wild dog, which was close to being a divine beast, immediately lay down and obediently approached him under his mental control!
Lan Xuelei said to Guan Yue, "Next time you unleash your power, let me know first so I can avoid it. It might really be because you generated Ultimate Light; your current power is too overwhelming for me."
Guan Yue was puzzled. Would forming Ultimate Light really suppress Disciple? Then why hadn't it manifested during the earlier encounter with the Mu Family?
Gao Yuxin also wondered, "Why didn't Senior Brother's power affect me?"
Lan Xuelei sighed and said, "Maybe it's because of your unique constitution. Guan Yue, during the battle with the Mu Family, your Ultimate Light's power might not have been fully realized. At that time, I felt no fear at all, but now, even being close to you makes me very scared."
Gao Yuxin quickly realized, "It seems this Ultimate Light only affects Disciples practicing the Dragon Python Divine Realm Technique. I can be sure that once Senior Brother started using Ultimate Light, the countdown began. This means you only have one year left to stay in Yongning Continent; after that, it’s highly likely you will be forcibly expelled from Yongning Continent. Moreover, returning will be extremely difficult."
Lan Xuelei immediately agreed, "Yes, for the Southern Source Master to bring back his avatar is quite challenging; he can only intermittently use his Divine Sense to send back bits of information. Even so, it causes him significant damage."
Guan Yue couldn't help but recall the only task assigned to him by the Southern Source Poor Scholar: to collect the Child of Heaven and Earth and form the Mother of Heaven and Earth to protect the Southern Source Empire.
At that time, Guan Yue simply thought that forming the Mother of Heaven and Earth was meant to prevent threats from the Ancient Tomb Sect. Now it seemed that the threat posed by the Ancient Tomb Sect might not have been taken seriously by the Southern Source Poor Scholar; what he truly valued as a threat could very well lie within these remnants on Snowy Luo Peak!
When Guan Yue expressed his thoughts, both Lan Xuelei and Gao Yuxin were stunned.
Even the Southern Source Poor Scholar was worried about the threat; could they really handle it?
The meaning of the Southern Source Poor Scholar was very clear: protect the Southern Source Empire, and that was all that mattered!
Gao Yuxin immediately suggested to Guan Yue, "Brother Guan, your avatar should hurry back to the Southern Source Empire. No matter what means you use, you must bring out the Mother of Heaven and Earth first, just in case. Otherwise, it is not impossible for us to suffer a total defeat."
Gao Yuxin's tone was filled with panic, which naturally affected Guan Yue's mood.
Thus, he quickly decided: let Guan Tian rush back to the Southern Source Empire and work on forming the Mother of Heaven and Earth as soon as possible. Here, Lan Xuelei would stay with her own avatar while he would be alone with Gao Yuxin.
Once Guan Yue made his decision, Guan Tian immediately headed back to the Southern Source Empire.
However, Ruyi Girl quickly approached Guan Yue. After he explained his concerns to her, she also said with a heavy expression, "This may all be caused by Molang. They want to kidnap Molang to fight against the Heavenly Court."
Guan Yue was confused: using the Western Celestial Law Ancestor to oppose the Heavenly Court? Wouldn't the Heavenly Court want the Western Celestial Law Ancestor dead? How could he possibly become a code?
Ruyi Girl understood Guan Yue's confusion and explained, "Molang is not an ordinary person; he is the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. His life is full of legends. He knows many secrets of the Heavenly Court. These secrets absolutely cannot be known by outsiders. Therefore, Molang has been imprisoned in that primordial land for a long time, surviving only on his remaining power, unable to advance his realm or communicate with the outside world."
"Doesn't he often fight with the Southern Sea Saint Ancestor and Northern High Ancestor?" Guan Yue wondered; if he could engage with those two, it meant he could communicate with the outside world.
"The Northern High Ancestor and Southern Sea Saint Ancestor have become lackeys of the Heavenly Court. They cruelly attack Molang in the name of Magic Supreme Technique, aiming to eliminate Molang's true form and erase his memories. Later, he was imprisoned in stone; if it weren't for your intervention, he might never have seen daylight again."
Ruyi Girl sighed deeply, her expression growing even more desolate.
Guan Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Mo Senior didn't say anything like that himself!"
Ruyi Girl sighed, "He thinks he is clever, yet he has been played by the Heavenly Court his entire life. It is only after listening to your account that I have realized this in recent days. So I want to tell you, because I feel that you will become stronger than any of us in the future. It is very likely that I will never have the chance to see Molang again in this lifetime."
Guan Yue quickly replied, "Ruyi Girl, do not say such things. You have waited for Mo Senior for seventy thousand years; this feeling can move heaven and earth. If heaven has eyes, it will surely fulfill your wishes. If heaven has no eyes, we will open its eyes ourselves. Why shouldn't we take matters into our own hands?"
Upon hearing Guan Yue's words, Ruyi Girl felt her spirits lift, and she smiled as she said, "What you say is indeed true. We cannot rely on others; we must rely on ourselves. However, I truly feel that there is great danger here, and it will be difficult to escape this calamity."
Guan Yue was surprised again, "Could it be that Ruyi Girl has sensed some kind of omen?"
Ruyi Girl replied, "My fortune ends here. Even if I wanted to leave now, I couldn't. But when I am close to you, I find my fortune slowly reviving, which excites me inexplicably."
Guan Yue had Ruyi Girl stand aside while he began searching the wild dog that he had mentally controlled, which was close to the divine beast. In the dog's memories, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared.
It was a day ten years ago when peace reigned and celebrations filled the air. In the mountains of Snowy Luo Peak, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, towns of all sizes dotted the landscape like stars twinkling in the sky, each radiating a unique aura that allowed millions of people to thrive and prosper.
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the distant sky; it was a peculiar sound that resembled metal clanging and a hoarse human voice but was remarkably loud enough to shake the entire Snowy Luo Peak mountain range.
This sound continued to scream, causing many people to run out of their homes in a daze to search for its source.
As this sound persisted for about a quarter of an hour, another wave of black light shone down. This Black Radiance was very strange; under its illumination, wild dogs and fierce beasts stood frozen in shock while humans illuminated by this black light immediately had their spirits and Consciousness drained away, turning them into puppets completely devoid of mobility.
Then an excited voice boomed like thunder: "Hahaha! Now it's truly a secret; no one will know what I'm doing here! Hahaha! I'm going to succeed!"
Just as this voice reveled in joy, another voice came through: "Old Thief, don't be too pleased; I'm still here! How could I let you monopolize such an incredible benefit?" This voice was melodious and pleasing to hear.
"Wood Old Ghost, so it’s you who followed? Where's that beggar? Didn't he come with you?" The coarse voice suddenly broke into a sinister laugh.
"Old Thief, even without the beggar, I can defeat you. Today I'll show you my true abilities." As soon as the melodious voice finished speaking, an attack was launched, and immediately fierce sounds of battle erupted like crashing waves, directly striking at the wild dog's spirit.
Before long, a coarse voice rang out, filled with astonishment: "Wood Old Ghost, you actually reached this level. No wonder you left Huazi. I truly underestimated you."
A melodious voice followed: "Old Thief, if you underestimate me, today is your doomsday. Let me tell you, I've been after this thing for a long time; it's not something you can hoard for yourself."
Then the two engaged in a fierce battle, fighting until the sky darkened and the earth trembled. Wild dogs began to run around in panic, but their clash remained focused in one spot; neither side attempted to flee as they fought relentlessly for three days.
At that moment, another woman's voice interrupted, causing both to halt their attacks.
"You shameless fools! Sneaking off to start fighting without me? What? Do you think you can leave me out and keep it all for yourselves? Hehe, no way. I'm not someone you can bully at will. Now, how do we settle this?"
"Flower, since you're here, let's pause our fight. Then we can discuss how to handle this matter. That thing can't be divided into three parts. We need to come up with a solution," said the coarse voice.
The melodious voice quickly added, "Flower, why are you here? I intended to take that thing and give it to you. But since you've come personally, let's team up against Old Thief first and deal with him before anything else."
"Hehe, why am I here? Wood Old Ghost, have you not deceived me for thousands of years enough already? Will you really give it to me once you get it? What nonsense! No way; I want to obtain it myself. You both better get lost, or don't blame me for being rude," the woman's voice turned cold, revealing her deep dissatisfaction with Wood Old Ghost.
The melodious voice simply chuckled softly: "Flower, why such words? Old Man truly intended it for you."
The coarse voice then happily remarked: "Flower, today you've finally seen Wood Old Ghost's true colors; it's not too late. He is indeed two-faced and untrustworthy."
"Helian the Old Thief, you're not much better yourself. You two are cut from the same cloth; neither of you is good news. Now, how do we handle this?" The woman seemed to soften her tone, indicating that her relationship with both men was quite deep.
