Little White transformed into Sun Rumiao’s appearance and headed alone toward the back mountain of Great Desolation Valley. On the surface, he appeared calm. In reality, he was panicking like mad.

Previously, impersonating Zhai Yishuang had been effortless.

That was because Ye Yu had accessed his divine soul memories and learned everything—

aside from that sealed confession memory.

Ye Yu had practically known it all.

But Sun Rumiao was different.

At this moment, although she had been swallowed by Little White, she had not fallen.

Her divine soul had not been forced out either, which meant Ye Yu had no way to read her memories.

Thus, Little White now possessed her form but not her essence.

Upon entering the back mountain, he did not even know how to activate the formation.

That was truly troublesome.

So Ye Yu and Little White could only rely on their previous recollections and head toward the location where they had entered the formation before.

How had Song Ke formed that hand seal again?

At that moment, the white-bearded elder from before appeared once more.

Unlike his cold expression when receiving Song Ke—

his face was now full of ingratiating smiles.

"Does the Upper God Sun intend to enter the forbidden back mountain? Please, please, allow me to open the gate for you!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, a layer of light screen appeared before Little White.

Clearly, stepping into it would allow smooth entry.

The treatment was worlds apart from what Song Ke had received.

Ye Yu could not help but raise a brow slightly.

So this was what they meant by: when you’re at the top, doors open themselves.

Little White did not hesitate and strode directly into the light screen.

At that moment, the elder whispered, "Upper God Sun... regarding this round of pill allocation... could there be a spot for my worthless son? He’s been looking forward to it for a long time. I—"

Before he could finish, Little White raised a hand to interrupt.

"Rest assured. I’ll arrange it."

The gesture was not refusal—it meant no further words were necessary.

With that assurance, the elder bent even lower.

"Oh, how considerate of Upper God. Please, go right in!"

Little White walked into the light without the slightest psychological burden.

In the next instant, he and Ye Yu arrived deep within the forbidden grounds.

It was the same corridor bridge as before.

But now, the space below was completely shrouded in black mist.

Nothing could be seen.

Not even the so-called Daughter of Heavenly Fate.

Was this preparation before the sacrifice began?

It seemed they had to hurry.

To avoid suspicion, Ye Yu did not have Little White leap down directly.

Instead, he instructed him to walk steadily downward.

Sun Rumiao gave the impression of composure. There could be no abnormal behavior.

Soon, at the end of the corridor stood two armored members of the God Race.

Behind them lay the path downward.

Upon seeing Little White, they bowed first, then asked hesitantly, "Upper God, what brings you here at this time?"

Little White said coldly, "I have urgent matters. I need to take the Daughter of Heavenly Fate out."

"However—"

Before the one on the left could finish, a slap landed instantly.

He was sent flying to the ground.

That action had been taught by Ye Yu.

As a high-ranking member of the Divine Alliance, one must never allow subordinates to question decisions.

However?

There is no ‘however’ with me.

Little White turned his gaze toward the one on the right.

"Do you also intend to stop me?"

The latter shook his head frantically.

"Upper God, I didn’t mean to stop you, it’s just—"

"So noisy."

Another crisp slap echoed.

The second guard was sent sprawling.

Little White clasped his hands behind his back, slightly raised his chin, and descended with the aura of a superior.

Soon, his figure disappeared into the black mist.

But moments later—

he returned.

Little White fixed his gaze on the two guards, who had just managed to stand back up.

They shuddered instantly and lowered their heads, clearing the path.

"Now then... what were you about to say just now?"

"Reporting to Upper God... half an hour ago, didn’t you already order the Daughter of Heavenly Fate to be taken away? Why have you come again? Did Envoy Zhao fail to deliver her to you?"

The guard’s voice was low, tinged with confusion.

An awkward expression appeared on Little White’s face.

So they had not been trying to stop him at all.

They had been trying to remind him.

That meant the beating had been unnecessary.

But apologizing was impossible.

The high ranks of the Divine Alliance were never wrong.

And the tempo must remain in his hands.

Ye Yu immediately transmitted instructions into Little White’s mind.

Little White relayed them without hesitation.

"Nonsense. If Envoy Zhao had delivered her to me, would I need to make another trip?

If he’s incompetent, then so are you!

If you have something to say, say it directly!

What’s with the build-up? ‘However’ and ‘it’s just’ and all that?

Why waste words? These slaps are to teach you a lesson. Next time you use verbal build-up, it won’t just be two slaps. Understand?"

The two guards nodded repeatedly, eyes full of fear.

Little White then swaggered out of the forbidden grounds.

At the entrance, the elder once again offered a flattering smile.

Little White asked immediately, "Do you know where Envoy Zhao is now?"

"He should be at the altar. The sacrifice is about to begin."

The elder pointed north.

Little White frowned instinctively.

"That’s not right. Wasn’t the sacrifice scheduled for tonight? Why do you say it’s about to begin?"

"It was originally scheduled for tonight, but didn’t you inform us earlier through the communication stone that circumstances had changed? You ordered the sacrifice advanced and told Envoy Zhao to retrieve the person."

The elder hesitated and asked cautiously, "Upper God... could it be that enemies have infiltrated our Divine Alliance?"

Little White glanced at him in surprise.

The old man guessed quite accurately.

He should not guess like that again.

Actually, there would be no next time.

Remember, in your next life, don’t be so clever.

Little White opened his mouth and swallowed the elder whole, ending the life of this guess-loving member of the God Race.

Thus, the story teaches that sometimes, one should not appear too clever.

Of course, devouring him was not merely to silence him.

They also needed information.

For example—who exactly was Envoy Zhao? Where was the new sacrifice site? What was the new timing?

The elder’s cultivation was merely at the Heavenly God Realm.

In just two breaths, Little White forced out his divine soul.

Ye Yu immediately took over and performed a soul search.

Soon, he obtained everything he needed.

Just as the elder had said, circumstances had changed.

The sacrifice had been advanced by three hours.

Calculating the time—

there was less than one incense stick’s worth remaining before it officially began.

This was absurdly rushed.

What had happened?

Just as Ye Yu was thinking—

the originally clear sky suddenly turned pitch-black, like the depths of night.

The heavens had changed.
