At the same time Zhao Xuanqi was being secretly transported to the Cyan Dragon Sect Secret Land.

Inside an unknown dreamscape.

Everything seemed shrouded in a hazy fog, gray and murky, creating an oppressive and terrifying atmosphere.

Within the hazy fog, various pairs of non-human eyes gleamed like those of wolves lurking in the darkness, enough to send a chill down one’s spine.

Each pair of eyes represented the consciousness of an Exotic Beast—a still-living Holy Seed in the process of reviving.

Their degree of revival varied depending on the strength of their hosts. Most had not yet fully regained their senses, their consciousnesses still filled with cruelty and brutality.

Within this gray, murky dreamscape, besides the eyes hidden in the Fog, five other beings had manifested as indistinct figures.

The one standing in the very center of the dreamscape was a humanoid figure, faintly recognizable as the form of Li Zhenyuan.

No, perhaps it should now be called the Bloodline Species.

Surrounding him were four other figures, none of them human.

One figure floated in midair: a massive, avian form with three heads. The eyes on each head glinted with a different color.

One of the Ancient Eight Fiends, the Three Calamities Bird.

Another figure was immensely tall and powerfully built, its arms hanging down to the ground. It had a wild, lion-like mane, and its scarlet eyes burned with the tyrannical power to destroy all.

One of the Ancient Eight Fiends, Ba Wu.

Another coiled figure resembled a centipede, its countless appendages writhing in the air—a sight that would make one’s skin crawl.

One of the Ancient Eight Fiends, the Black Earth Dragon.

The last was a monster with the silhouette of a toad. Its body was covered in tumorous growths, and the Fog permeating the dreamscape seemed to emanate from these very lumps.

One of the Ancient Eight Fiends, the Dream Gu.

In this world, during Ancient Times, the Bloodline Species had given rise to numerous Holy Seeds. These seeds transformed into a host of Exotic Beasts that rampaged across the land. Among them, eight were so monstrously powerful—far stronger than any other Exotic Beast—that they carved paths of destruction everywhere and came to be known collectively as the Eight Fiends.

During the Ancient Times, the Human Race of this world drove out the Exotic Beasts. In that conflict, the Holy Seeds of four of the Eight Fiends were shattered, and they were utterly destroyed.

The remaining four fled the Divine Land, went into hiding, and entered a state of dormancy.

Later, during the Western Continent’s great age of discovery, their Holy Seeds were unearthed. They were subsequently acquired by the four strongest of the Great Powers among the Six Nations. Relying on the Holy Seeds of the Four Fiends, their hosts became the pinnacles of individual combat strength in their respective nations, wielding immense influence over their countries and even the entire situation on the Western Continent.

"The situation in the Divine Land has changed. Zhao Xuanqi broke through to the Divine General realm. Though I acted myself and struck him with my Unquenchable Fire, he then deliberately drew in a massive amount of Primordial Qi to resist me, compounding his injuries. By all rights, he should be dead. But as a Reincarnator, there are always unusual aspects to him. I cannot rest easy until I am certain of his death."

"The situation on the Western Continent has reached a critical point. It is time for you to make your move. Influence the minds of your hosts, and push for the outbreak of war. That is how we will recover our strength as quickly as possible and prevent any accidents."

Li Zhenyuan said.

"Source, you should know better than we do that our Holy Seeds have not yet recovered to the critical threshold. At this time, we don’t have the power to completely influence our hosts’ consciousness. If our hosts were to detect our presence, the consequences would be unpredictable."

The three-headed bird spoke.

"The best method is to wait for war to break out naturally. We have lain dormant for so long; we cannot afford to be reckless at such a critical moment. We have no desire to end up in the same state as you."

The centipede spoke.

"You’ve always been responsible for the situation in the Far East. Even if you are the Source, you shouldn’t make us bear the risk of your mistake."

The massive beast with the lion-like mane spoke.

"Are you questioning my decision? Or... are you coveting my position?"

The Bloodline Species said coolly.

The phantoms of the Four Fiends fixed their gazes on the Bloodline Species, but none of them spoke.

"HAHAHAHA! Without me, none of you would exist. Do you really think you have a chance just because I’m in a weakened state?"

"I will repeat this one last time!!"

The Bloodline Species let out a maniacal laugh, and suddenly, the entire dreamscape began to tremble.

The pairs of eyes in the Fog began to flicker, and the phantoms of the Four Fiends started to twist and distort, as if they might shatter and vanish at any moment. Even as blurry silhouettes, the agony emanating from them was palpable.

"I am not negotiating with you, this is an order! Even if I only have a sliver of strength left, I can still obliterate your wills in an instant!!"

"Because I am the source of everything you are! Understand?!!"

The Bloodline Species snarled, its voice savage and cold.

"We bow to your will, Source."

Under these circumstances, the Four Fiends finally, slowly, spoke.

"Go. As long as we successfully conquer this world, the Matriarch will surely reward us. At that time, your very lives will evolve. You may even become like me, leading the conquest of a world. We’re all in the same boat."

The Bloodline Species slowly retracted its terrifying influence, its voice becoming faint.

"Yes..."

The figures of the Four Fiends gradually vanished, and the Fog in the dreamscape receded like the tide.

「On the outskirts of Shangjing, within a hidden cave.」
