After Lady Jin was dealt with, blazing sunlight once again poured over the land.
Gu Qinglan, however, fled as though her life depended on it.
The reason was simple.
After Ye Yu sent Lady Jin on her way, he discovered that Gu Qinglan had yet to awaken from the illusion.
So he walked straight over and slapped her awake.
She opened her eyes in a daze, then stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Ye Yu, kissed him, and softly asked, "Where's our son?"
Those three short words left Ye Yu completely stunned.
But he quickly realized what had happened.
The illusion Lady Jin cast was different for every person caught in it.
Why had he been betrayed in his illusion while Gu Qinglan had even ended up with a son?
Wait, a son?
Theirs?
Ye Yu looked at Gu Qinglan strangely.
She nodded with a perfectly serious expression.
"That's right. Ours. He's already eight years old. Don't you know?"
Ye Yu could not help laughing. He explained Lady Jin's illusion to her, then curiously asked, "So does our son look more like you or me?"
Gu Qinglan's face immediately turned bright red, and she was rendered speechless.
A bashful beauty was more captivating than any scenery.
Ye Yu could not help teasing her with a smile. "A succubus in love? It seems your illusion was quite精彩."
Gu Qinglan felt so embarrassed that she wished the ground would swallow her whole. She turned and fled.
There was nothing she could do about it.
Whenever she remembered how she had just thrown herself into Ye Yu's arms, her entire body tingled with mortification.
How could she have acted so boldly?
Gu Qinglan, Gu Qinglan, had you truly grown that accustomed to it inside the illusion?
Indeed, compared with Ye Yu's illusion of betrayal, Gu Qinglan's illusion had been peaceful and beautiful.
She and Ye Yu had successfully escaped Lady Jin's control, found a secluded place to live, fallen in love, and gotten together.
They had even had an adorable child.
Their life had been blissful beyond words.
There was a very simple reason why their illusions had differed so drastically.
Lady Jin had devoted all her energy to dealing with Ye Yu and had no time to pay attention to Gu Qinglan.
Therefore, everything Gu Qinglan saw inside the illusion had come entirely from her own true desires.
Even Gu Qinglan herself had failed to notice just how radiantly she had smiled in that dream.
After Gu Qinglan left, Ye Yu did not hurry away.
Instead, he used Demonic Conversion to reincarnate Lady Jin and Cao Angyang.
They were both Divine Lord Realm experts, after all. He could hardly let them go to waste.
At the very least, he should put them to some use.
Besides, Ye Yu was genuinely curious as to why Cao Angyang had undergone such a drastic change in only two months.
He had even gotten mixed up with the Divine Sea Society's puppet creatures.
There had to be a reason for it.
Ye Yu therefore accessed Cao Angyang's memories.
Before long, he saw the mysterious black-robed man.
It was that man who had stirred Cao Angyang's inner demon and driven the heartbroken man to assassinate Ye Yu.
Ye Yu was not particularly surprised.
Ever since he killed one of the one-eyed giants last time, the Divine Sea Society had regarded him as an enemy.
It was only natural that they would find a blade to kill him with.
Still, the people of the Divine Sea Society truly had something wrong with their heads.
Cao Angyang had killed over a hundred of their one-eyed giant puppets, while Ye Yu had only killed one.
Was there really any need to fixate on him?
They were insane.
Ye Yu then casually accessed Lady Jin's memories as well.
What he found startled him.
Lady Jin actually had a Divine Sovereign Realm cultivation partner?
No, seriously, what had she done to deserve that?
And if she already had a Divine Sovereign Realm cultivation partner, why had she tried to pursue Ye Yu in the first place?
Ye Yu continued examining her memories carefully and soon understood.
Long ago, when Lady Jin was still weak, she had entered a relationship with a Divine Sovereign Realm demon god.
At first, the two had been very affectionate.
It was this demon god who had shown Lady Jin such an unconventional cultivation path.
He had bluntly told her that her aptitude was exceedingly ordinary.
In this lifetime, she would most likely never advance beyond the Golden God Realm.
Therefore, if she wanted to keep growing stronger, she would have to take an unorthodox path.
She was to dominate a swamp, raise a number of God Clan members there, and use their divine power to nourish herself.
The process would be slow, but it was stable.
As long as she remained patient, reaching the summit of the God Realm might not be impossible.
Under the demon god's guidance, Lady Jin progressed rapidly, and their relationship became increasingly intimate.
As time passed, however, the Divine Sovereign Realm demon god could no longer endure it.
There was nothing he could do.
Lady Jin's little habits were simply too difficult to tolerate.
Even a demon god could not withstand being subjected to that over and over again.
The two eventually had a fierce argument, after which he stormed off in anger.
From that point onward, Lady Jin's personality became increasingly withdrawn.
Ye Yu could not help sighing at the experience.
You had a perfectly good domineering lover, and you drove him away with your antics.
Lady Jin, you truly brought it upon yourself.
Yet those memories contained more than mere gossip.
There was also something that greatly interested Ye Yu.
His figure shifted, and he arrived atop the enormous lotus leaf above the swamp.
This was Lady Jin's blessed domain.
Inside a hidden compartment, Ye Yu found a wooden brocade box.
When he opened it, he discovered a beast-head token inside.
Its design was different from the one he possessed, and it was made of wood.
It was also much lighter in his hand.
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes and studied it closely for a long while.
According to Lady Jin's memories, this was something the Divine Sovereign Realm demon god had left in her care.
He had even claimed that it represented his greatest opportunity to break through the peak of the Divine Sovereign Realm.
With enough luck, perhaps after another million years, there would no longer be only Twelve Supreme Gods, but Thirteen Supreme Gods instead.
However, the token's origins were rather questionable.
The demon god had intercepted it along the way and stolen it from someone else.
For safety's sake, he had found it inconvenient to carry the token with him, so he had temporarily left it with Lady Jin.
When he eventually needed it, he would return and retrieve it from her.
He had also repeatedly warned her that it absolutely could not be lost.
Yet the two had been separated for more than ten thousand years, and the demon god had still never returned for it.
This had left Lady Jin extremely displeased.
She had originally intended to use the token to threaten the Divine Sovereign Realm demon god into forcibly rekindling their old romance.
Unfortunately, she had never gotten the opportunity.
Holding the token, Ye Yu's thoughts immediately began racing.
