As the saying goes, vile people meet heaven’s retribution.

Tong Yaoguang might have been wary of Xie Jiangshu, but not everyone feared him.

And when he ran into Ye Yu, it became the greatest retribution of Xie Jiangshu’s life.

So much so that he did not even have the chance to enter reincarnation.

After finishing reading Xie Jiangshu’s divine soul memories, Ye Yu suddenly clenched his right hand.

That wisp of divine soul completely dissipated into smoke.

Ye Yu walked straight toward the wooden hut. After pushing open the door, he stepped into an entirely different world.

This was a cultivation ground Xie Jiangshu had created with an array.

It was not only vast, but it also completely blocked outside detection.

According to the memories, Han Yuexi was in the dungeon below. However, her condition was far from optimistic.

Ye Yu’s figure flickered as he arrived in the dungeon below. There, he saw two identical Han Yuexi.

This was not disguise or impersonation.

They were both Han Yuexi.

One embodied humanity. The other embodied divinity.

Xie Jiangshu had used a secret technique to forcibly separate them.

The real reason he had abducted Han Yuexi was precisely for her divinity.

As Mr. Tian’s servant, Xie Jiangshu never lacked cultivation resources or top-tier divine arts.

Unfortunately, his true body was merely a rat demon, and his innate foundation was far too poor.

Reaching the Gold God Realm had already required an enormous amount of resources piled onto him.

To advance further was utterly impossible.

Xie Jiangshu knew clearly where his limit lay.

Though unwilling, he had no choice.

Even gods, in the end, could not defy heaven.

Later, as time passed, Mr. Tian began assigning many matters to others because Xie Jiangshu’s strength was insufficient.

This left a deep bitterness in Xie Jiangshu’s heart.

His realm had become his inner demon.

Thus, he was desperate to shatter that bottleneck.

If the righteous path would not work, then he would take the wicked one.

As long as he could raise his realm and continue serving Mr. Tian, nothing else mattered.

Later, Xie Jiangshu accidentally obtained a forbidden technique.

Within it lay a method to grow stronger, but the condition was that he had to devour the pure divinity of the God Race, strengthening his innate foundation and continuously improving himself.

Perhaps this forbidden art defied the harmony of heaven, but Xie Jiangshu no longer cared.

He only wanted to grow stronger.

Before Han Yuexi, over the span of a hundred years, Xie Jiangshu had already devoured the divinity of two members of the God Race.

It was not that he was inefficient, nor that divinity required long digestion.

It was simply that qualified divinity was extremely difficult to find.

Those who had cultivated step by step from the Lower Realms—especially mortals—even after becoming gods, possessed strong humanity and very weak divinity.

The Demon Race, Yokai Race, and ghosts were slightly better than mortals, but not by much.

It could be said that most divinity within the God Race was unusable.

The definition of “pure” was exceedingly complex.

Strictly speaking, only second-generation gods were Xie Jiangshu’s true targets.

Born in the God Realm, their divinity was pure—true supreme nourishment.

However, capturing these second-generation gods was far from easy.

Their divine parents were powerful, and they carried numerous divine artifacts.

They were extremely tough bones to chew.

At least for Xie Jiangshu.

Thus, he outsourced this “dirty work.”

He had other members of the God Race capture these divinity-rich second-generation gods, bind them, and deliver them to him.

Among them, three members of the God Race in Great Desolation Valley had once taken on such work.

Those who attacked Han Yuexi and Han Gu had been from Great Desolation Valley.

Han Yuexi had been sold to Xie Jiangshu.

Meanwhile, Heng Xuanzhen, captured by Sun Rumiao, had been regarded as the Daughter of Destiny and prepared for sacrifice.

It could be said that the two women had been captured almost simultaneously.

Ye Yu’s decision to search for Han Yuexi in Great Desolation Valley had not been wrong. It was merely a coincidence that they had missed each other.

At that time, the three gods of Great Desolation Valley had died too quickly, giving Ye Yu no opportunity to extract their divine souls for questioning. Otherwise, many steps would have been saved.

As for Xie Jiangshu, when he first saw Han Yuexi, he was utterly astonished.

After wandering the God Realm for so long, it was his first time seeing someone with such dense divinity.

To him, she was a feast.

If he devoured her, he would certainly step directly into the Ancient God Realm.

Thus, without hesitation, Xie Jiangshu began separating Han Yuexi’s humanity and divinity.

This was delicate work, and even the slightest carelessness was unacceptable.

If the separation was incomplete, it would cause immense trouble later.

For four or five consecutive days, Xie Jiangshu worked day and night, casting technique after technique.

At long last, he completed it. Just as he was about to begin enjoying his prize—

He noticed the He Xin Jade at Han Yuexi’s waist glowing.

It must have been because he had been too focused while separating the divinity and had consumed too much divine power, causing the concealment array here to weaken to the point of near dissipation.

That allowed this small object to transmit a signal.

Had someone from her family come looking for her?

Xie Jiangshu did not take it seriously.

Within this Tranquil Mind Divine City, he feared nothing.

So he casually walked out, tossing away the He Xin Jade, intending to make the outsiders retreat in difficulty.

Unfortunately for him, he encountered someone unreasonable—and ended up losing his life.

Ye Yu slowly exhaled, his expression grave as he looked at the two unconscious Han Yuexi before him.

At that moment, Heng Xuanzhen also followed in from outside.

After seeing the scene within, she could not help but frown slightly.

"This is your friend?"

Ye Yu nodded, then asked softly, "Her humanity and divinity have been stripped apart. Do you know how to fuse them back together?"

To be honest, this truly touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

In Xie Jiangshu’s memories, there were only methods of separating humanity and divinity—not of recombining them.

Heng Xuanzhen replied softly, "I have never encountered such a situation either. I do not know what should be done."

"Simple. Just piece them back together."

Tong Yaoguang’s figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Yu, a satisfied smile on his face.

"To be honest, I am very satisfied with the payment you gave me. I have long wanted to kill that old bastard. Thank you for taking action.

So I will help you once."

He formed hand seals with both hands. A surging torrent of divine power poured forth, descending upon the two Han Yuexi.

Then he turned his gaze toward Ye Yu.

The latter looked puzzled.

"Uh... why are you looking at me?"

"Nonsense. Didn’t I just say you should piece them back together? You expect me to do it? Can’t you see I’m busy?"

Tong Yaoguang maintained his seal, tilting his chin slightly.

Truly worthy of being the Fiery Scholar. What could have been explained in one sentence had to be stretched into three rhetorical questions.

Ye Yu did not argue with him.

He stepped forward, lifted one Han Yuexi, and walked toward the other.

He forcibly pressed their bodies together.
