Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

“Yes,” the old spirit said. “Because that demon king concealed his child’s demonic characteristics in order to protect his child, making the demonic genes of his descendants recessive. For 100,000 years, even the Ye family members themselves did not discover that their ancestors had been demon kings, nor did they discover that they had the talent to cultivate demonic power.”

"Until that demonic calamity a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Ye family were corrupted by demonic energy in the war against the dark races and became demonized humans. Logically speaking, demonized humans should be devoured by the power of darkness, undergoing a drastic change in personality, going mad, insane, bloodthirsty, and bloodthirsty, or turning into indescribable dark monsters."

"But the Ye family showed no signs of these, becoming the only humans who could control the power of demonization."

Night songs are sung in silence.

It turned out to be the case.

So that's how the Ye family's demonic bloodline came about...

"Then, do you know who that goddess Ming, who fought against the gods and heavenly soldiers and escaped from the divine realm, is?" Ye Ge looked at the mural next to him.

“Of course I know,” the old spirit said, slowly moving his feet while holding his scepter. “The Radiant Goddess Yun Qing was a powerful high-ranking goddess in the God Realm back then… Unfortunately, she was later judged as a traitor by the Light Emperor Ye Qiong, which is why she was hunted down by the gods.”

“Yun Qing…” Ye Ge thought for a moment: “Why was He judged to be a traitor to the gods? Did He do something to betray the divine race?”

"Well... not really. According to my inside information, it seems that Lady Yun Qing has been framed. Anyway, 'betraying the gods' is just a pretext; they can just find any crime to pin on you."

"Why?" Ye Ge asked, puzzled. "Did He offend someone?"

The old spirit said, "Because his father once competed with the Light Emperor for the position of God King."

Night Song: "..."

Bai Xueling touched his nose: "So there are power struggles like this within the God Race?"

“Of course.” The old spirit said, “Although they are gods who govern the laws of all things, they themselves are all living beings on Blue Star, and they just stood out from all races.”

Ye Ge nodded in agreement.

Ye Ge originally wanted to ask the old man more about this ancient site and the skeletons scattered all over the forest outside.

But at this moment, the old spirit seemed to sense something terrifying, and a somewhat nervous expression appeared on his face. He stammered, "Well... you can take your time looking around. This old man is taking his leave now..."

After saying that, his body transformed into vines and quickly crawled up the ground, disappearing along the ruins.

Bai Xueling asked in confusion, "What's wrong with this old guy?"

The crow perched on my shoulder and said, "Sir, didn't you just forget to ask him how he got out of here?"

Ye Ge shrugged.

Bai Xueling asked, "So what do we do now?"

Night Song: "What else can we do but keep moving forward?"

Ye Ge glanced at the murals on the wall again, then led the way deeper into the ruins.

Arriving at a place resembling a temple, the former temple had been completely destroyed, and everything was in ruins, with cracks all over the ground. The four stone pillars around the temple were also only half left.

Ye Ge suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Did you... hear anything?"

Jiang Xue and the others were all taken aback.

"A sound?" Jiangxue looked around in confusion. "There's nothing there?"

Listen attentively to the night songs in quiet contemplation.

He was quite certain that he heard a woman talking to herself.

"Ten thousand years have passed, and I never imagined anyone would still come here..."

This time the sound was very clear, and everyone heard it.

For some reason, Ye Ge could sense that the woman's tone and voice were filled with deep loneliness, solitude, and sorrow.

Although her voice was not loud, it was imbued with powerful divine energy, its demonic sound penetrating the ears, its overlapping echoes reverberating throughout the entire world.

Ye Ge thought to himself, "It really is divine power."

And it's very strong.

It's far stronger than that old monster from the Green Vine!

Absolutely right...

It's god-level!

Jiang Xue, Ashu, and the demon warriors who had gathered all became vigilant.

Just because of those few words spoken by that unknown goddess, the spiritual energy gathered in the air made them dizzy and almost unable to breathe.

"Who is it?" Ye Ge possessed demigod-level mental strength, so she wasn't greatly affected. She glanced around out of the corner of her eye: "Um...can you come out and talk?"

The other party remained silent for a while.

"Come out and talk? You mean me?" the goddess asked.

Night Song: "...Of course, who else could we be talking about?"

"You are the first person to make such a request."

"...?"

"Alright, as you wish."

Then, every inch of spiritual energy in this secret world seemed to suddenly come to life, and the energy flowed together from all directions.

Through his mental vision, Ye Ge saw the flow of energy and finally sensed the direction from which the sound originated.

In the sky.

He looked up at the star-studded Milky Way night sky.

The stars gathered in the night sky, and a part of the dark space seemed to be strangely distorted. A bulge appeared in the darkness, and a humanoid creature gradually emerged from it. Finally, the shimmering stars draped over her body like a veil, and she transformed into the image of a goddess.

The goddess was dressed in a beautiful black veil adorned with stars, her long black hair also seemed to be dotted with stars, she had white teeth and thin lips, her skin was like solidified cream, and her two fair and bare feet were barefoot, with thin silver threads wrapped around her ankles.

Her entire appearance was breathtakingly beautiful.

But for some reason, the goddess's eyes were covered with a black cloth.

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow and immediately used the Heavenly Dao System to check the other party's information.

"Goddess of the Stars..." Ye Ge murmured to himself.

Xuanji? Yet another deity he had never encountered in the game's background story in his previous life...

Xuanji slowly floated down from the night sky, her head slightly lowered, her eyes, covered by a black cloth, looking down at Yege and the others on the ground.

"A newcomer, huh..." Xuanji's lonely voice echoed softly once more in the night: "It's been so long since I've seen a newcomer. I thought I'd be alone in the eternal night forever, forever talking to myself, with no one to talk to anymore..."

Ye Ge opened her mouth: "Well... what..."

"Then I hope you won't die too quickly this time," Xuanji said.

Ye Ge was taken aback: "Huh?"

"I hope you can stay with me a little longer this time." Xuanji said in a lonely voice as she slowly raised her slender hand and pointed it at Yege and the others: "Please don't let me kill you all at once."

Night Song: "???"
