I'm caught in the cycle of endless competition, you're waiting for me in the apocalypse.

"Xinxin, are you awake?"

"Ah Xin, don't scare us!"

"Sister A-Xin..."

……

All she could hear were worried and anxious words. An Xin struggled to open her eyes, and the bright white light in the room dazzled her, bringing her back to reality.

In the blink of an eye, I found my friends all gathered around my bed, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

"I'm fine now. I'm sorry for making everyone worry again!"

"As long as you're alright, Xinxin!" Diting and Aojue obediently squatted by the bedside, looking at Anxin at eye level.

An Xin reached out and ruffled Di Ting's hair, and both of them chuckled softly.

After knocking Di Ting aside, Ao Jue stared longingly at An Xin, his large, wet eyes filled with an unusual yearning.

His outstretched hand froze in mid-air at Feng Yi's words, and he awkwardly shook hands. Just as he was about to retract it, Ao Jue pulled it over and placed it on his head, while he pouted and turned his head away.

An Xin saw his reddened ears and rubbed them with a smile, thinking to herself, "What a proud and awkward guy."

After greeting everyone in the room, she straightened her expression and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"The sun is about to set!" Snake Inscription said.

"It's been almost 5 hours, thank goodness! The priests haven't left yet, have they?"

"Yes, they usually set off back to their tribe one day after the ceremony."

"Can you get everyone together? Also, I need to find Bileg! I have something very important to tell you!"

From An Xin's slightly furrowed brows and anxious expression, She Ming could tell that what she was about to say was definitely not ordinary, so he nodded to her and said, "Come find him immediately!"

As She Ming strode out of the room, An Xin got up, reviewed Feng Yi's words in her mind, and combined them with the clues she had obtained, quickly planning what she needed to do next.

Taking a few deep breaths, An Xin stared at Ao Jue for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What gift were you going to give me that Feng Yi broke?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Jue was stunned for a few moments before realizing what was happening. Then, with a loud "Aow—", he covered his head and rushed out of the room, disappearing without a trace...

"Xiao Jiu, is this body mine? Or Hu Xin's?"

"Xinxin knows?" The boy's dark puppy eyes were always so clear and pure, making people feel warm and trusting.

"Hmm, I know part of it, but I don't think that's me!"

"This body is yours, but the divine essence is not!"

"No wonder, there's always been a sense of disconnect. Luckily, I'm not the Fox Emperor; I can't afford a harem of concubines!"

Patting her ample chest, An Xin secretly rejoiced that she didn't notice the fleeting glint of darkness in Hu Qing's eyes from the corner.

Just then, Sheming rushed over with Bileg. Upon seeing Bileg, Anxin immediately said, "Bileg, we are facing immense danger. I've discovered that while this body is mine, its divine essence is not. There's a conspiracy hidden here." Bileg's expression turned grave: "What should we do?" Anxin took a deep breath: "We must hold another sacrifice to reclaim what truly belongs to me." Everyone looked troubled upon hearing this, for a new sacrifice would be fraught with difficulties.

At this moment, Hu Qing, who was in the corner, stepped forward and said hypocritically, "Xin Xin, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is too risky." An Xin looked at Hu Qing, a strange sense of doubt rising in her heart: "I wouldn't be mistaken." After saying that, she ignored Hu Qing.

An Xin began arranging for everyone to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony, while Ao Jue quietly returned and stood silently by An Xin's side to support her. Just as everything was about to be ready, the sky suddenly darkened, a black shadow flashed by, and a mysterious person appeared, coldly saying, "Do you really think you can change all of this?" Everyone immediately became alert, as if a great battle was about to break out.
