Even hybrid monsters have their day

Geng Miaowan looked closely and saw that there were some people she knew and some she didn't, totaling exactly ten people.

The few she recognized were all from the various palaces of the Underworld. Judging from their interactions and attitudes, the few she didn't recognize must be from the other palaces.

Upon seeing them, Geng Miaowan withdrew her attack and looked at them with a puzzled expression. They also looked at her, their eyes filled with consideration.

"Pei Ran, what do you have to say now?" It was Qin Qing who spoke.

The man in black who had attacked her first gave Geng Miaowan a cold look and let out a snort.

Qin Qing didn't care about his attitude, released his hand, and walked up to Geng Miaowan. He gave her a meaningful smile, "Geng Miaowan, welcome to the Divine Space."

"God... God's Space?" Geng Miaowan asked in confusion. She had never heard of such a thing before. But just from the name, God's Space, since it was related to the word "god," it couldn't be something simple, could it?

Sure enough, Qin Qing's next words confirmed her thoughts.

"This is the energy space left behind by the ancient gods."

She was taken aback at first, and then said, "Is it the legendary energy used to maintain order in the underworld and other dimensions?"

"Exactly."

"Then what was that pure white space I was in earlier?" She had a feeling that the person in front of her knew the answer. She had met Qin Qing once before, and although they hadn't said anything special at the time, she had a vague feeling that he was probably the leader of their group.

She always felt that Jiao Lingfeng and the others only told her half of what they meant, so she wondered what Qin Qing was like.

"That place is also the realm of the gods."

"Huh?" Geng Miaowan was surprised. She had sensed it when she first entered this space. Although the surrounding spiritual energy was very dense, seemingly enveloped by a powerful force, this force was different from the energy in the pure white space she was in. Although both were pure, she couldn't absorb the energy here, or rather, she couldn't directly absorb it without any worries.

"I know what you're surprised about." Qin Qing still had a smile on his face, though he thought it was a very kind smile, but paired with his full beard, it didn't give off any sense of kindness. "You must have a lot of questions, right?"

Geng Miaowan looked at him and nodded. Just when she thought he would say something like, "Let me tell you," he said calmly, "But we don't know much either."

She felt her eyebrows twitch involuntarily. What did that mean? Or was it just a matter of "no comment," leaving her completely confused?

However, Qin Qing's claim of "not much" was far more than she had imagined.

"You mean, I inherited the immortal power of that celestial being Su Yun'er in that pure white space?" This was something she had never even imagined; it was simply too unbelievable.

"It's the last bit of immortal power left," Qin Qing emphasized. "Because most of the divine power of the immortal Su Yun'er was consumed during the chaos of the Three Realms."

No wonder she leveled up so quickly there; now I know why. Even her last remaining immortal power propelled her cultivation to the Mahayana stage in a short time. If she had all her immortal power, the sheer strength would have been unimaginable.

But, "Why me?"

"Perhaps this is fate's arrangement," Qin Qing said, glancing up at the gray sky. His full beard obscured his expression, but Geng Miaowan felt that his exposed complexion was even grayer than the sky.

"Can you be a little more direct?" Geng Miaowan couldn't help but say. She was tired of hearing him always use things like divine secrets, mysteries, and destiny to brush her off.

Qin Qing glanced at her, then turned to look at the crowd standing not far away, and waved to them, signaling them to come over.

After everyone had gathered around him, he slowly began to speak. "A thousand years ago, the chaos of the Six Realms caused spatial turmoil, resulting in the destruction of Mount Buzhou's vitality, with fragments scattering into various spaces. The missing vitality was simply insufficient to sustain Mount Buzhou's immortal roots. Mount Buzhou is the ruler of the Six Realms. Its survival is crucial to all spaces within the Six Realms. If Mount Buzhou's immortal roots are destroyed, then all spaces within the Six Realms will be affected, and may even... be destroyed."

"Destruction..." That's so serious...

"Yes, even the divine power space left behind by this ancient god has been affected."

Those around Qin Qing seemed stunned by his words. They had always assumed the recent series of events in the Underworld were due to the depletion of the divine power left behind by the ancient gods. They never expected the true reason to be like this.

Qin Qing had never mentioned these things to them before, but he said them in front of them today, so things must have gotten really bad. Even Fei Ran, who had always opposed Geng Miaowan, listened to him seriously and stopped giving Geng Miaowan any meaningful looks.

"What should we do? Is there any way to remedy this?" Geng Miaowan asked the question on everyone's mind.

“A thousand years ago, after the Supreme God Dongfang Liancheng discovered this, he tried every means to find a way to restore life. But there are countless spaces in this world, and finding a few fragments is like finding a needle in a haystack.” Qin Qing looked at their hopeful expressions and his eyes flickered. “In the end, I don’t know if he found a way or not, because no one has seen him since then.”

"what……"

Everyone was stunned; what kind of answer was that?

"Then what does all this have to do with me?" Qin Qing wouldn't suddenly say things that have nothing to do with her, but since he said it, there might be some connection between them.

"Nearly a hundred years after the High God Dongfang Liancheng disappeared, one day, a demon broke into the Underworld. She held the High God Dongfang Liancheng's talisman and gave me the space formed by the last trace of immortal power of the Immortal Su Yun'er. She said that if one day someone came out of here with the Heavenly Stone, then she would be the one who could restore the vitality of Buzhou Mountain."

"Tianji Stone?" Geng Miaowan remembered that Zuo Lengdan had mentioned Tianji Stone to her before, and that Dongfang Liancheng was not an immortal, but a high god. She felt that this amount of information was really too much.

"Yes, Tianji Stones, stones that shattered from the life force of Buzhou Mountain." As he spoke, Qin Qing looked at her hopefully, "Have you obtained them?"

“I remember when I was in that space, one of my elders had a piece of it, but I never opened it to look at it, nor did I ever own one.”

Her words made Qin Qing's expression change. Could it be that after waiting for so long, they had still made a mistake?

But if it wasn't her, how could she have inherited the immortal power of the celestial being Su Yun'er...?

"Did you get anything strange while you were doing the mission?" he asked, still unwilling to give up.

Strange things...

The image of those few dull gray pebbles instantly flashed into Geng Miaowan's mind. If there was anything strange about them, it was those. She hesitated for a moment, then took the pebbles out of her storage ring and placed them in her outstretched palm.

Immediately, all ten level-one figures crowded around like curious children. The few dull gray stones did not shine at all because they were being noticed by everyone; they remained as ordinary and unremarkable as pebbles picked up randomly from the roadside.

It was Fei Ran who raised the question. He exhaled through his nostrils and said, "Ha, I thought it was something special, but it's just a few pebbles picked up by the roadside. Qin Guangjun, you didn't just find someone to do the job because you were afraid something would happen to the Six Realms, did you?"

Qin Qing had never seen Tianji Stone before, so he didn't know if the stones in Geng Miaowan's hand were actually Tianji Stone. These stones looked so ordinary that even he himself had an uncertain expression on his face.

"Hey Wan'er, are you sure you didn't just pick these little pebbles up off the street?" Zhan Xisheng teased.

“I…” Geng Miaowan couldn’t refute it, because even she herself felt that there was nothing unusual about these few broken stones.

A group of people studied the stones for most of the day without reaching any conclusion. Finally, Feng Xuanyi said something that enlightened everyone: "Since you say that the elders in that other space have Tianji Stones, why don't you go there and see if these are indeed Tianji Stones?"
