After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

While things seemed peaceful and serene between Morax and Yuan Zhuoyue, things were quite chaotic on the other side.

Because of the 'little surprise' that Yuan Zhuoyue had specially prepared by expending her own power, it has now descended upon this world.

Logically speaking, as the ruler of this land, Morax should not have missed such changes.

However, with Yuan Zhuoyue dragging her down, Morax's senses could be temporarily obscured. But the corresponding price was that she could no longer sense the whereabouts of the 'little surprises' who had come at her command.

But it doesn't matter, whoever comes following the summons will eventually come to her.

Moreover, they always follow the rules set by [Candle Dragon], so even if they cause some disturbance, it won't lead to any adverse consequences.

After all, they cannot afford the consequences of violating the rules, nor are they willing to do so.

In their view, [Zhulong]'s lover is biased and protective of the human race, so in the absence of conflict and without infringement on their own interests, they are willing to cooperate.

They didn't mind giving people preferential treatment in order to win the favor of [Zhulong].

After drifting for thousands of years, these rootless duckweeds finally found a place to settle down.

As prophesied, they finally found a new [Zhulong], a god willing to accept and protect them, and naturally they would try to perform well.

Make everything that is shown conform to the will of [Zhulong] and please Him.

[Candle Dragon] shows favoritism towards people, so naturally they can also give people some preferential treatment.

Dihua Isle

Before the Rock God statue standing on this swampy land, two figures appeared out of nowhere, circling around the Seven Gods statue.

She was tall and slender, dressed simply, with no ornaments on her body. Her long hair, as white as raven feathers and faintly shimmering with iridescent colors in the sunlight, was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin.

The other figure, who appeared slightly smaller, wore a delicately colored dress with fringed edges on the collar and cuffs. Her hair, styled into two upright buns resembling rabbit ears, was adorned with pearls and pom-poms.

She even had a cinnabar mole on her forehead, making her look gentle, cute, and completely harmless.

Beside this adorably dressed, fluffy girl, whose appearance made one want to reach out and pet her, the accompanying demon rolled his eyes at her meticulously groomed appearance and muttered under his breath, "...Other leaders and their followers set off immediately upon receiving the decree of the God [Candle Dragon], but you've been putting on makeup for so long...You're so much later than the other tribes, and who knows when you'll be able to see the God."

The half-demon girl, who had initially appeared soft, cute, and harmless, suddenly froze in her innocent smile, her eyes flashing with anger as she glared at him: "What do you know?"

But that look only lasted for a moment. The half-demon girl, who had dressed up specially, raised her hands to cup her cheeks and said with great pride, "Your Majesty likes me just the way I am!"

The demon's expression remained unchanged, but his dark eyes, which seemed to be mixed with a hint of murky red, scrutinized his flamboyantly dressed companion from head to toe.

Only then did he casually utter a sentence in a flat, indifferent tone: "...Even if you are only a half-demon, as a beast, your words are still untrustworthy."

The half-demon girl's youthful smile vanished, replaced by a rude retort: ​​"How dare you speak like that? You prisoner, be careful I write a report and have you thrown back in jail!"

Upon hearing this, the demon scoffed, "I can rest assured now that you've said that. My crimes aren't serious, and my future sentence will likely be similar to what I'm going to get now. With someone like you supervising me, I can serve my sentence outside of prison."

The half-demon girl was quite impatient: "Why should I guard you? I'm here to pay my respects to the Lord, and I have to bring such a burden like you along!"

"You're mistaken." The demon smiled. "It was clearly me who was protecting you. If I hadn't been by your side, you might have already been devoured by some demon. I never imagined that your demon race would have declined to such an extent. After a thousand years of transmission, the legacy of Bai Ze has fallen into the hands of a mere half-demon like you."

The half-demon girl straightened her sleeves, unconcerned: "Things are different now than before... No one will be so foolish as to dare to defy the rules set by the gods."

Upon hearing this, the demon's expression became somewhat indescribable: "I was just joking... but now that you've said it, I'm actually starting to worry. If you were accidentally eaten by someone, not only would I be imprisoned again, but my sentence would probably be extended by another thousand years."

“I think you’ve misunderstood something,” the half-demon girl said helplessly. “Perhaps you’ve been imprisoned for too long? Things are different now; I am now a powerful figure among the demons.”

The demon stared in deep thought again: "I never imagined... that we non-humans would one day fall to this state."

Half-demon girl: "..."

She seemed to sigh deeply before saying helplessly, "You don't have to do this, beating around the bush to say I'm weak."

The demon's face showed a look of nostalgia, and he sighed with deep emotion: "In the past, I was just a lowly soldier, but now I can be called a master and have the empty title of a great demon."

The half-demon girl rolled her eyes without any hesitation: "If you feel uncomfortable, why not go back to the prison for a thousand or eight hundred years? Maybe as time goes by, you will be able to see the past glory again in the future."

"No." The demon refused. "We are in a period of great change, and this is a good opportunity for me to seize. If I miss this chance, I may still be a lowly soldier in the future."

The half-demon girl ignored her and continued circling the statue before her, saying, "This statue..."

The demon nodded in agreement: "It looks quite good."

The half-demon girl, who was suddenly interrupted, first clicked her tongue softly before continuing, "I always feel that there is still the aura of the Venerable One's divine power remaining on it... This land is the same, except that the aura on the statue is even stronger."

The demon followed her, staring at the statue for a moment, before turning his gaze to the half-demon who was looking at him.

Then, spreading his hands, he said quite frankly and confidently, "I am a criminal, having spent many years in prison, and have never paid homage to the God [Zhulong], so naturally I cannot recognize the God's aura. I just feel that the feeling this place gives me is no different from that of the Dream Realm... no, it should now be called 'Huaxu Kingdom'."

The half-demon girl opened her mouth, hesitated, and finally sighed, saying with a sigh that was hard to tell whether it was out of helplessness or speechlessness, "The Dream Realm now relies entirely on the Venerable One's divine power to maintain itself... What you are sensing is the Venerable One's aura."
