【When Ye Yu steadied himself and his vision cleared once more, he discovered that he had returned to the swamp yet again.】

【The same familiar area. The same familiar unlucky members of the God Clan.】

【And that former kindhearted swamp resident, Yuan Zhedong, was here as well.】

【At this moment, his entire body was trembling, his eyes vacant. Something was clearly very wrong with him.】

【There was even a distinct shoe print on his face.】

【Obviously, someone from the God Clan had stomped on him hard.】

【Not only him—every member of the God Clan who had been captured and brought back bore signs of a beating.】

【Oh, right. There was even one person currently being hung up and beaten.】

【Huh? He looked strangely familiar.】

【It turned out to be Jiahao.】

【Even while suspended in the air and being pummeled mercilessly, Liu Jiahao remained completely fearless!】

【Hit me then! Every bit of this suffering will become the foundation of my rise. The harder you beat me now, the faster you'll die in the future. Do you know that once, in a fit of rage, I shattered three layers of formation barriers? Right now, I'm merely accumulating rage points!】

【Come on!】

【My heroic spirit reaches the heavens!】

【The supervisor responsible for Liu Jiahao was a burly Demon God.】

【Grabbing Liu Jiahao by the hair, he repeatedly smashed his fist into his mouth.】

【"A fit of rage," my ass. The formation barrier collapsed on its own. What the hell did it have to do with you? You're only in the New God Realm, and you actually think you're invincible?】

【I'll beat that arrogance out of you! I'll beat that "heroic spirit reaches the heavens" nonsense out of you!】

【The Demon God's brutal, flesh-pounding blows made every member of the God Clan present shudder.】

【At the same time, it answered a question that had long lingered in their hearts.】

【Namely, how Liu Jiahao, who was also only in the New God Realm, had managed to break through the barrier.】

【Turns out the thing had broken by itself.】

【As the saying goes, an iron fist is the cure for a stubborn mouth.】

【Before long, Liu Jiahao was beaten unconscious on the spot.】

【The Demon God then tossed him aside like a dead dog and shouted to the members of the God Clan under his charge.】

【"Anyone who dares try to run away again will end up exactly like this!"】

【Hearing those words, the members of the God Clan all lowered their heads.】

【The light vanished from their eyes, and the last traces of vitality disappeared completely.】

【At the same time, Zheng Ke's voice sounded within Ye Yu's sea of consciousness.】

【Kid, every member of the God Clan who got caught and brought back has to take a beating. I won't hit you, but don't forget what you promised me. Help me get out of this place!】

【Hearing this, Ye Yu immediately nodded.】

【Then he raised a hand and prepared to pat Zheng Ke on the shoulder, completing the Divine Touch!】

【There was no helping it. Since he'd been captured and brought back again, he could only proceed according to plan.】

【Hopefully Zheng Ke would give him a satisfactory reward.】

【Just as Ye Yu's hand was about to make contact—】

【The Demon God who had beaten Liu Jiahao unconscious suddenly spoke.】

【"Hey, you lowly insect. What do you think you're doing?"】

【The sharp shout instantly drew everyone's attention.】

【At that moment, Ye Yu's right hand was only about three centimeters away from Zheng Ke's shoulder.】

【"Uh... I noticed the supervisor's divine robe was a little dirty. I was just helping brush off the dust."】

【As he spoke, Ye Yu continued reaching forward.】

【No matter what happened today, he had to complete this Divine Touch.】

【But Zheng Ke immediately dodged away and shot Ye Yu a cold look.】

【"Get lost, insect!"】

【After saying that aloud, Zheng Ke continued through voice transmission.】

【You have absolutely no sense of boundaries. How could you think of patting my shoulder? If you actually did it, the other supervisors would laugh at me for the rest of my life.】

【Clearly, Zheng Ke was just as resistant to the gesture.】

【Still, in order to keep Ye Yu willing to help him, he took the initiative to explain.】

【Left with no other choice, Ye Yu could only indicate that he understood. At the same time, he felt thoroughly annoyed and glared at the Demon God.】

【That look was immediately noticed.】

【The Demon God's figure flashed, and he appeared before Ye Yu. His voice was savage.】

【"Kid, you seem pretty unhappy with me. I'm Supervisor Ding Biao, while you're nothing more than an insect not even worthy of a name. Do you believe that I could eat you right now and nobody would care?"】

【By this point, Ye Yu's temper flared instantly.】

【Since when did some bastard in the Golden God Realm get to talk down to me like this?】

【No. One way or another, I have to teach him a lesson today!】

【Just as Ye Yu was about to use Equality for All Beings, Zheng Ke suddenly stepped in front of Ding Biao.】

【"Fellow Daoist, you can't eat him."】

【Ding Biao sneered.】

【"What? You're willing to fight me over a mere insect?"】

【Zheng Ke let out a sigh.】

【This isn't an ordinary insect. He's one of the candidates for the new assignment. Otherwise, I couldn't care less whether he lived or died. By the way, have you picked the person Golden Lady asked for yet?】

【Hearing that, Ding Biao's expression changed. He immediately turned around and returned to the group under his supervision, his gaze sweeping repeatedly over the members of the God Clan.】

【Then he couldn't help cursing.】

【Damn it. Every last one of them is ugly as sin. How am I supposed to choose? You there—go drag down the guy hanging from the tree and wash his face properly!】

【It wasn't only Ding Biao selecting people. The other supervisors were also examining the members of the God Clan under their control.】

【As though they were choosing something.】

【This immediately put Ye Yu on alert.】

【Using voice transmission, he asked, "What's going on? What do you mean by candidates for a new assignment?"】

【Zheng Ke didn't hide anything and directly explained what had happened earlier.】

【It turned out that the bell they had heard before was the method Golden Lady used to summon the supervisors after awakening.】

【As the absolute ruler of this swamp, Golden Lady possessed supreme authority.】

【She had personally laid down a rule long ago: whenever the bell sounded, no matter what any of the supervisors were doing, they had to appear before her within ten breaths.】

【Failure carried only one consequence—death.】

【That was why Zheng Ke, Ding Biao, and the others had appeared so panicked after hearing the bell, even abandoning the members of the God Clan under their supervision.】

【This was Golden Lady's first awakening after thirty thousand years of slumber.】

【After summoning all the supervisors, she didn't say a single word. She merely sat there trying to wake herself up for a very long time.】

【Later, one sneeze from her shattered the formation barrier.】

【But since Golden Lady herself didn't mention it, none of the supervisors dared bring it up. They could only kneel there and wait for instructions.】

【No one knew how much time passed before Golden Lady finally became fully awake.】

【She told the supervisors that, during her last dream, she had dreamed of finding a handsome Dao companion and living a happy life together.】

【Now that she had awakened and found herself alone, she felt somewhat lonely.】

【So she ordered them to find handsome members of the God Clan and bring them to keep her company. Each group was to select one candidate.】

【And if they couldn't find one—then the supervisors could go dress themselves up and accompany her personally instead!】
