Since ordinary members of the God Clan did not know what the token was for and only Divine Sovereign Realm experts seemed to understand it, Ye Yu might as well take a gamble and ask one of them directly.
Even if the token truly was something highly coveted and ended up being stolen, it would not matter.
After all, Ye Yu still had another token in reality.
Besides, losing it inside the dream was irrelevant. All he wanted was the correct answer.
At worst, once the dream shattered, he could simply kill Lady Jin again. The token would still end up in his hands.
The thought delighted Ye Yu.
He then began seriously considering which Divine Sovereign Realm expert he should approach.
A name soon surfaced in his mind.
Gao Zong!
That man's whereabouts were extremely stable.
He was hiding inside a divine stone mine, and he had once been hailed as the greatest expert in the God Realm.
An existence like that would definitely know what the token was for.
The only problem was that his temper was terrible.
Most of the time, he would try to kill someone before they had exchanged more than a few words.
Who had he inherited that foul temper from?
Seeking him out would be rather risky.
Gao Zong might attack before Ye Yu even managed to ask his question.
That made him an unsuitable choice.
But if Ye Yu did not go to him, who else could he ask?
Chu She?
Ever since their last meeting, that man seemed to have vanished without a trace. Who knew whether he had already been killed?
That fellow liked keeping a low profile.
As long as he did not want to show himself, Ye Yu could turn the entire God Realm upside down and still fail to find him.
Good grief. Why was it so difficult to find a Divine Sovereign Realm expert with both a stable temperament and a fixed location?
Hm?
Wait. There was one!
His conveniently acquired father-in-law, Cui Baisheng!
As the head of the Cui family, Cui Baisheng was unquestionably a Divine Sovereign Realm expert.
His emotions were remarkably stable, and he spent every day staying on the Cui family's main peak without going anywhere.
He perfectly matched every one of Ye Yu's requirements.
He was the ideal person to ask.
Besides, the Cui family had an ancient inheritance and profound foundations. What had they not seen before?
Ye Yu was certain they would have the answer he wanted.
Without wasting any time, he immediately set off for the Cui family.
Not long after he left, the enormous lotus leaf above the swamp slowly began to wither.
Its pure life force drained away at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Once it had completely withered and turned black, a tall figure slowly arrived.
A faint sorrow filled his eyes as he gazed at the lotus leaf.
"Little Jin, I never expected you to leave as well. Since we were once cultivation partners, I will gather your remnant soul and bring you back to life."
The man formed a hand seal and cast the Soul Recall Art.
Yet even after a long time, nothing happened.
He could not help feeling deeply puzzled.
That lotus leaf was the final divine artifact he had given Lady Jin.
Even if Lady Jin's body and soul had been utterly destroyed here, the lotus leaf should have exhausted all its life force to preserve a wisp of her remnant soul.
It should have given her a chance to revive.
But now the lotus leaf had withered.
Where was Lady Jin's remnant soul?
Why was there not even a trace of it?
The man could not understand it no matter how much he thought.
He then began carefully reconstructing what had happened here.
A moment later, the confusion on his face deepened.
Someone who did not even exist had killed Lady Jin?
What was going on?
The man blankly sniffed the air twice.
Two days later, Ye Yu had not reached the Cui family.
Instead, he was sitting inside a cave.
Across from him lay an unconscious, disheveled scholar.
This was none other than Tong Yaoguang, the man known as the Hot-Tempered Scholar.
The previous day, while passing by a lake, Ye Yu had discovered the unfortunate man.
Tong Yaoguang had long since lost the languid air he possessed at the Quiet Heart Study. His divine robe was torn, his hair was disheveled, and an enormous wound gaped across his abdomen.
Honestly, had Ye Yu not found him in time, Tong Yaoguang would undoubtedly have died.
Since they had met before, Ye Yu decisively extended a helping hand and used Divine Touch on him while he was at it.
However, the reward granted by his Dream Talent was truly bizarre.
It was actually a butcher knife.
The blade was covered in rust and looked thoroughly unremarkable.
Had its description not identified it as the same kind of butcher knife used by the Hot-Tempered Scholar, with twenty percent additional damage against demon gods, Ye Yu would have been sorely disappointed.
But honestly, that last part was irresistible.
It actually dealt increased damage to demon gods.
Did that not mean that if Ye Yu could normally inflict one hundred percent damage, wielding the butcher knife would allow him to inflict one hundred and twenty percent against a demon god?
Mm. A divine artifact was still a divine artifact. It truly was extraordinary.
His life-saving efforts had not gone to waste.
Another half hour passed before Tong Yaoguang slowly regained consciousness.
The unfamiliar surroundings made his heart jolt. He immediately sprang to his feet.
When he saw Ye Yu sitting across from him, confusion flickered through his eyes.
He tentatively asked, "Did you save me?"
"Don't ask pointless questions like that next time. There are only two of us here. If I didn't save you, who did?"
Ye Yu waved a hand, then continued softly, "By the way, how did you end up like this? Didn't you go to support Chu She?"
Tong Yaoguang lay back down and stared at the uneven stone ceiling in silence for a long time.
Ye Yu did not rush him.
He simply waited quietly.
In his view, the wait was worthwhile.
Tong Yaoguang and Chu She were close friends, after all.
There was a good chance he knew where Chu She was. Ye Yu could then find Chu She, ask him about the token, and use Divine Touch on him while he was there to see whether he could obtain anything useful.
As for his father-in-law, Cui Baisheng?
It would not hurt to visit him later.
That man was not going anywhere.
Ye Yu could see him whenever he pleased.
After a long silence, Tong Yaoguang said softly, "I met Chu She. He told me the two of you aren't anything to each other. You're merely strangers who met once."
"You were the one who insisted on becoming his friend."
"He also said that you're an extremely strange and mysterious person."
Ye Yu could not help frowning when he heard that.
So he had "insisted on becoming his friend," had he?
Chu She made it sound as though he had suffered some great injustice.
Had Ye Yu known, he would never have sent Tong Yaoguang to save him. It would have been better to let Xiao Luo beat him to death.
While Ye Yu was seething with displeasure, Tong Yaoguang spoke again.
"Actually, I truly should thank you."
"Without you, I might never have gone to help Chu She. And if he had faced Xiao Luo alone, he really would have died."
"That man was simply too powerful."
