Northern Dongming Prefecture, God Realm.
Having just shattered the void and arrived, Li Ruowang took in her surroundings.
Compared to the Celestial World’s sky awash in rosy clouds, the God Realm felt more ethereal.
And sparsely populated.
An entire stick of incense passed, and Li Ruowang hadn’t seen a single god.
She couldn’t help feeling a little lost.
In a realm this vast, where was she supposed to find Ye Yu?
Steadying her mind, Li Ruowang absorbed the divine power around her while taking a jade token and an immortal stone from her storage ring, carefully pressing them together.
A flash of light blossomed.
A water-moon mirage surfaced before her—palm-sized, gossamer-thin, visible only to Li Ruowang.
This was Feng Yingzhi’s latest, made with everything she had.
Cross-Realm Longing.
Its core function was to let the user transmit whatever they were seeing to another paired jade token.
Shared vision.
Feng Yingzhi was an immortal; anything she crafted could only be an immortal artifact.
She’d never been to the God Realm and had no idea what divine power truly was.
So to use Cross-Realm Longing, they could only drive it with the immortal energy in an immortal stone.
To that end, the immortal stones Feng Yingzhi prepared for Li Ruowang were an alarming quantity.
There was no worry of running out.
The only question was whether Cross-Realm Longing would still work here in the God Realm.
Li Ruowang held her breath and watched the image intently.
A few breaths later, Feng Yingzhi’s voice came through.
"Ruowang, the image is still clear. We did it—Cross-Realm can really transmit a view of the God Realm to the Celestial World."
Right after, Li Ruowang heard cheers from Nangong Jingtang, Shangguan Jiujiu, and the others.
The artifact’s success meant they could see Ye Yu ahead of time; naturally they were thrilled.
Li Ruowang spoke softly. "Since it works, does that mean I can pry off this pink heart on the token?"
"Don’t, sister. It looks so cute!"
Feng Yingzhi pleaded at once.
As a genius maker of immortal artifacts, her skill was beyond question.
Her pieces also carried her signature design language.
For instance, most of what she made skewed pink.
Ye Yu had personally experienced that.
But Li Ruowang was not a pink-loving girl at heart.
When she saw the first version of Cross-Realm Longing was a pink jade pendant,
she refused on the spot.
Please, what respectable person swaggers around with a pink jade pendant?
She was going to the God Realm, not a bubblegum daydream.
Pressed by that attitude, Feng Yingzhi produced version two.
The token she had now—milky white, perfectly normal.
The only flourish was a small pink heart on its face.
Feng Yingzhi told a little lie, claiming it carried a blessing.
Wearing it would double the odds of the artifact working in the God Realm.
Li Ruowang still resisted inwardly, but with everyone urging her, she agreed.
Before departure, making sure the artifact would function in the God Realm was top priority.
Everything else could wait.
Now that °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° it worked, Li Ruowang naturally moved to peel the little heart off.
Ignoring Feng Yingzhi’s protests, she lifted her hand and pressed.
The pink heart was gone.
"Oh no!!!"
Feng Yingzhi’s anguished cry came through.
Li Ruowang chose to ignore it and said, "I’ve successfully arrived in the God Realm, but I haven’t seen any gods yet.
I’m going to scout the area."
She moved forward with care.
Soon, she halted.
Ahead, atop a canyon peak, a woman sat cross-legged, drinking alone.
From her, Li Ruowang felt a crushing pressure.
She frowned.
Through Cross-Realm Longing, Pei Chuxia’s voice flowed in.
"Ruowang, a reminder. You’ve just entered the God Realm. Your current level is at the very bottom.
We also don’t understand how this realm operates.
Stability first.
So I recommend you look for someone at your level to gather information.
Don’t approach an opponent you can’t match.
That would be very dangerous."
With the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart trait, Pei Chuxia was the sharpest mind in Wuwei Tower.
Calling her their strategist was no exaggeration.
She couldn’t judge the woman’s exact level through the image,
but she still offered the coolest analysis at once.
Li Ruowang agreed it made sense.
The God Realm was entirely new to them.
Who knew if it was like the Underworld, where bigger ghosts devoured smaller ones.
Charging in blindly was risky.
Sensing danger from the woman ahead, Li Ruowang decided to follow Pei Chuxia’s advice and withdraw for now.
Unexpectedly, in the next instant, a strand of vital aura locked onto her.
No doubt—the woman had noticed her.
Better to face her than retreat in a panic.
If the other side wanted to chase, it wouldn’t be hard.
So she might as well walk up openly.
Decision made, Li Ruowang flickered forward and appeared before the woman.
She cupped her fists. "I am Li Ruowang. I’ve just entered the God Realm. May I ask a few questions, senior?"
"What do you want to ask? Speak."
Heng Xuanzhen’s voice carried a touch of drunkenness.
It was her—the last hope of Ancient Sword Gorge, Heng Xuanzhen.
Ever since leaving Tongtian Pavilion, she had lost all will to fight.
She couldn’t help it. In Heng Xuanzhen’s view, she had fallen into inner deviation.
She hadn’t just imagined a Ye Yu; she had imagined an entire world.
In that world she had lived through love and hate,
and in the end, she had fallen.
Everything felt so real, yet so illusory.
Even now, this world felt the same.
So Heng Xuanzhen decided it was still false.
She couldn’t climb out of her deviation; how was she supposed to talk about avenging the Divine Alliance?
False. All of it was false.
When the belief she clung to collapsed, she started to let herself go, numbing herself with wine.
She’d never drunk before; she’d only seen her master drink.
Back then, Heng Xuanzhen had wondered why her master drank something that tasted so bad.
Now she understood—wine was indeed good for gods.
Thinking that, Heng Xuanzhen took another deep pull, not caring as the liquor soaked her clothes.
