I am a living immortal.

As everyone walked along the path and entered the massive gate, the space ahead was no longer gloomy, but suddenly brightened. The surrounding buildings were all constructed of white jade, from the eternally burning mermaid lanterns to the star-like gems inlaid atop their ceilings. These gems shimmered like a galaxy in the firelight. However, the crowd had little mood to admire the sight, as a whole row of colossal statues stood in the empty space. These statues were identical to the gatekeepers, their only difference being their armor.

Cold sweat streamed down everyone's foreheads. The colossi immediately looked over—they were alive, or rather, they had always been alive. The massive door slammed shut at that moment. When the last crack closed, everyone realized with horror that they were truly separated, their worlds disconnected.

Lin Yuan and Yun Yue's hearts skipped a beat, and they both tightened their grips on their weapons. They didn't know what they were about to face, but it definitely wasn't going to be as simple as drinking tea and chatting. In this atmosphere, the two of them began to think about how to survive the siege of these giants.

"If a fight breaks out later, we need to hide," Lin Yuan whispered to Yun Yue, hoping his master would be reliable and the painting he'd given him would work. Otherwise, he'd probably die miserably in this wave. Although he knew the colossi here wouldn't be as strong as the ones outside, they were still outnumbered.

It wasn't just the two of them who were nervous; everyone was. They didn't show it, but they didn't dare move, waiting for the situation to develop. Yet, the space was silent. The giant statues simply watched, silent and silent. The candlelight above the hall flickered, and one could even smell a refreshing fragrance that brought concentration. But just to be safe, everyone held their breath.

"Don't be so nervous!" At this moment, a voice rang out from the end of the hall. The voice was devoid of emotion, offering little comfort to the crowd, and even carried a solemn tone.

Everyone frowned and looked over. First, there were stairs, then a giant beast. This beast looked somewhat similar to the human-faced tiger that Lin Yuan and his companions had encountered, but also somewhat different—it had a human face, a tiger body, and nine tails. Its overall appearance was more majestic and harmonious, and it exuded a sacred, solemn, and majestic aura. However, the state of this strange being seemed wrong. In addition to this giant beast, nine doors floated behind it. These nine doors were different, engraved with strange patterns. At first glance, they didn't know the purpose of these doors, but they knew that they were very old, very old. A giant bronze tree stretched out, its branches connecting the nine doors together.

"You...are a god?" Yun Yue asked. The others subconsciously looked over.

"Obviously." The giant beast uttered the word softly.

"No, you are not, you are just a shadow." Bai Xing added.

"I have some vision. But no matter whether it is the real body or the shadow, I am me, I am God." The atmosphere fell into silence again.

"I already know the purpose of your coming here. Now that you have seen me, do you still want something?" The giant beast's pupils swept across everyone, without a trace of smile or ridicule, as if it was just asking for everyone's opinions.

"Yes...why not." The monster was the first to stand up, his eyes full of determination.

Then… the nine-tailed, human-faced beast, with a tiger body and a human face, surveyed the place before uttering a few words in a condescending voice: "Defective goods." The monster froze. The beast's face remained expressionless, as if it were discussing something insignificant. Only a scornful tone echoed through the hall, adding to the oppressive atmosphere. With that, the beast ignored them and turned to look at the others.

"What about you guys? Are you also using that defective product to claim my inheritance?" Although he was referring to his own inheritance, it didn't seem out of place here. The few of them didn't care about these details.

"Yes!" everyone said at the same time.

"Very confident. Then do you know where this place is?" The god did not utter any more sarcastic words, but asked a confusing question without any reason.

"Kunlun?" Yun Yue said.

"Yes, this is Kunlun Mountain, this is the capital on earth, this is the true kingdom of God on earth. What makes you think you can control such a sacred place? Oh, I almost forgot. The world today is no longer the same as it was before. Today's creatures have long forgotten the greatness of Kunlun. No wonder." The giant beast seemed to mutter to itself, then changed the subject, "Since you want it, I will give you a chance. How about joining us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the situation changed immediately.

"Run!" Lin Yuan flung out a scroll the next second, and he and Yun Yue vanished from the scene. The scroll instantly collapsed into a single point. The others, noticing something was amiss, fled in all directions. A demon darted into the eyes of the nearby giants. Another demon soared in height in a few steps, seamlessly blending into the giants. Another demon suddenly exploded, shattering into countless tiny particles. Only the spirit and Bai Xing remained.

Bai Xing sighed, feeling somewhat regretful. This time, he'd truly lost more than he gained. As he spoke, he produced a compass. The moment he turned it, the sky became round and the earth became square. The space around him was continuously fragmented, like a multifaceted prism, concealing him. Only the demon remained where it was.

"Aren't you going to run?" The giant beast looked at everything that was happening and didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it. He asked lightly.

The spirit curled his lips. He didn't want to admit it, but why did everyone have a back-up plan, but he didn't? The difference in foundation. The three demons were inherently cunning. For them, escaping was a natural skill, and it was also one of the most important skills they learned. As for the immortals, there were very few true lone wolves. Most of them had a master, and with a master came a foundation. These could all provide some help, such as Yun Yue's Qingyue Sword, Lin Yuan's small world in the painting, and Bai Xing's compass for cutting through space. Only spirits like these who were born with this and relied on brute force alone didn't have these. So he suffered a great loss, and that's why he died...

The moment the behemoth finished asking, the goblin was already dead. Blood splattered across the ground, staining it red. His lower body completely vanished before he could even react.
