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

All the orcs strode excitedly into the cave, each with a wicked and treacherous expression on their face.

The evil emperor walked up to An Xin and looked down at her.

He let out a soft chuckle and said, "I didn't expect there to be a surprise waiting for me here! What a stunning face! And your spiritual power is quite formidable. You're truly a gift from heaven! Hahahaha..."

"Bah! Look at yourself, how dare you covet the Goddess!"

"Yes! Don't look at our holy goddess with your filthy eyes!"

……

The fox-folk beastmen found this evil emperor so offensive that they stopped pretending and, unable to bear it any longer, pointed at him and began to curse.

The Evil King hated being called ugly; he was like a lit firecracker, ready to explode at any moment. Pointing at the fox-beastmen, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fox-clan? Fine, don't you consider yourselves the most unique race in the world? Don't you boast of being the most beautiful race in the world? I will make your entire race slaves, to be oppressed and toyed with by us evil beasts. I will trample you under my feet and send you to the abyss! Go, capture the fox-beastmen! Whoever catches them gets to keep them!"

"Yes, Evil Emperor! Hehehe."

"My little beauty, I'm here, haha..."

The cave was suddenly filled with the lewd words and lewd laughter of the orcs chasing after the fox-clan orcs.

Fox-type beastmen are a unique and beautiful breed throughout the beast world; both female and male beastmen are considered exceptional.

The orc's eyes gleamed with greed as he grabbed the creature, already planning how to "deal with" the beautiful orc before him.

Sometimes, people with ugly hearts are ashamed of their own ugliness, their own inferiority, and their own lack of ambition. Therefore, they envy all beautiful things; they revel in watching beautiful things weep, wither, and crumble before their eyes…

Thus, they pursue beauty, destroy beauty with their own hands, and satisfy their twisted and perverse inner psychology.

However, this time, they ran into a brick wall.

Seeing Ao Jue, who was closest to the cave entrance, nod to her, An Xin smiled, activated her spatial blades, and immediately gave the order: "Close the net!"

All the orcs in the sanctuary stood up, even the four priests who had been weak just moments before. Snake Inscription dusted himself off and looked at the Evil Emperor with disdain.

The evil emperor, whose flesh had been slashed open by An Xin's spatial blade, was immediately horrified and roared in anger and shame: "How is this possible? I clearly saw you drink the spiked water..."

While he was still staring wide-eyed, looking incredulous, inside the cave, the once arrogant orc was caught by a group of orcs and given a sound beating.

"Weren't you chasing me so enthusiastically just now? Hmph, you ugly freak, I can't even stand looking at you! Fight, brothers, beat them to death!"

The fox-clan beastmen, disgusted by the attack, finally got their orders to retaliate. They charged forward with great force, cooperating with other beastmen races to teach the evil beastmen a lesson.

Clutching his neck, seeing the corpses of the beastmen lying on the ground, Xiao was so shocked that he forgot his fear. Pointing at An Xin, his eyes bloodshot, he questioned, "I clearly didn't feel any power erupting from you, nor did you have any weapons. How could you have killed so many beastmen all at once? Even the Evil Emperor, who couldn't even get close to the Bone Blade, was injured by you!"

"Stop talking nonsense! What time is it now? Why are you asking such a ridiculous question? You're so stupid, no one would doubt it!" An Xin rolled her eyes, looking disdainful.

"I'm stupid enough to die? This brilliant plan was my idea!" Xiao had always considered himself the strategist of the beastmen, and there were few among the beastmen who were smarter than him. But now, because of An Xin's words, he had broken down his defenses.

"A brilliant plan? Is that all?" An Xin pointed behind her, signaling Xiao to open his eyes wide and take a good look!

Xiao looked behind An Xin and saw that the beastmen had been captured or beaten, and were basically unrecognizable, some even on the verge of death.

At the same time, the giant eagle suddenly vanished into thin air, and in its place came a handsome orc with a high nose and deep-set eyes, who walked steadily to An Xin's side, bowed, and said respectfully, "Goddess, everything is settled. I have brought our people safely!"

"Hmm! Well done, A-Shen, take your people to settle down properly." An Xin nodded slightly, then turned to look at the evil emperor and owl who were still standing there stubbornly resisting with a half-smile.

Upon seeing the eagle-beastman beside An Xin, Xiao's shock turned into disbelief, and even a look of sorrow appeared on his face.

"He...wasn't his beast pearl taken? And what about the giant eagle from earlier?"

The owl pointed to the spot where the giant eagle had been, but saw nothing there. There was no giant eagle or anything in disarray, not even a speck of dust.

"Haven't you heard? I'm a goddess! What don't I know? What can't I do?" An Xin shrugged, her lazy and casual demeanor and dismissive attitude greatly provoked the two remaining beastmen who were still standing there.

The evil emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and he remained silent for a long time. Finally, Xiao compromised and said, "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."

"There is indeed something I need to ask you. If you answer it, I will give you both a quick and painless end."

Seeing that the two remained silent, An Xin assumed they agreed and continued, "Who told you that digging up the beast pearl would allow you to absorb its energy? And who told you that mating with a female beastman of a certain rank would improve your cultivation?"

The evil emperor lowered his head, his face mostly hidden by his hood, and it was unclear what he was thinking. Meanwhile, the owl beside him looked completely bewildered, clearly unaware of what An Xin had said.

Just as the stalemate was at hand, the Evil Emperor suddenly pulled the owl in front of him and slammed it down on An Xin and the others, while he himself flew towards the cave entrance.

An Xin instinctively unleashed a spatial blade, cleaving the owl in two mid-air. Because the cut was clean and smooth, and the speed was extremely fast, blood only spurted out when the two halves of the owl's body fell to the ground.

An Xin saw that the two halves of the body, which had been cut in half at the waist, were still twitching. She was so frightened by the bloody scene in front of her that she covered her eyes and turned away.

The beastmen, who were stunned by the horrific sight of An Xin tearing people apart with her bare hands, were speechless when they saw An Xin herself terrified by her own "masterpiece." At this moment, apart from the gradually fading howls, there was only a flock of crows flying overhead, making helpless "cawing" sounds.

Meanwhile, the wicked emperor who started this whole mess was trapped and captured at the cave entrance, looking utterly pathetic.

In the blink of an eye, An Xin split Xiao's body in two with her bare hands in mid-air, no longer harboring any hope.

As if all his energy had been drained from his body, he collapsed to the ground, his eyes fixed on the upper body of the owl, which was still moving and spitting blood, until he finally breathed his last, at which point he slowly opened his mouth.

"My cultivation has been stuck at a low level. I often pray to the Beast God in my heart, hoping to find out how I can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Ao Jue, who was waving his arms beside him. A faint blue halo surrounded An Xin and Ao Jue. As if sensing something, he continued, "One day, a god descended into my dream. He said that I could absorb the power of other people's demon cores to improve my cultivation, and that I could also mate with female beastmen of a certain level. He also showed me some pictures in my mind."

An Xin interrupted him suddenly, "Wait a minute, a demon core? He's talking about a demon core? And a picture? What does it look like?"

“Yes, that’s what he was talking about. I didn’t know what it was at the time. Later, when fighting the orcs, some of the orcs I killed had something like a bead inside their bodies that could be absorbed to improve their cultivation. I think that might be what the demon core is. To make it easier for you to understand, I called this thing a beast bead.” Once the Evil Emperor started talking, it was like a flood that had been released, pouring out whatever was asked.

"The picture is the posture of harmony! Like this, like that, simultaneously circulating the power within the body..."

As if afraid they wouldn't understand, the evil emperor even gave a demonstration, which made An Xin roll her eyes. Ao Jue then strode up to An Xin, covered her eyes with both hands, and kicked the evil emperor, saying, "Shameless, vulgar."

"Didn't you ask...?" The evil emperor, who had been kicked hard and bounced back from the isolation and trapping arrays, rolled halfway down on the ground, his eyes twitching in a sorry state.

Pulling Ao Jue's hand away, An Xin asked again, "Besides these, what else is there? What do the gods look like?"

"That's all. I don't know who the god is. He only has a voice in my dreams, and it's neither male nor female..."

Ao Jue scornfully looked at the wicked emperor who was clinging to life on the ground: "It seems we can't get anything out of him. Let's finish him off!"

An Xin nodded, and was about to turn and leave when the Evil Emperor stopped her: "Let me die knowing why. Our plan was so perfect, how could it all end up like this..."

"Perfect? ​​This is what you call perfect? ​​Sigh, whatever, I'll let you die knowing the truth!" An Xin squatted down and told the Evil Emperor about what happened that day through the trapping array.

It turns out that An Xin knew there were people around when she rescued the eagle beastman, and she also knew that the eagle beastman was being coerced by the evil beast. Therefore, the only one spying on her was the evil beastman.

While treating Ying Shen, she discovered that his dantian had been cut open and the beast pearl inside had disappeared.

It's likely that the beastmen are unaware that other beastmen know about their digging for beast beads, and since Eagle Deep was already covered in wounds, the new wound wouldn't seem out of place.

The orcs whose beast beads were extracted did not immediately lose their minds or transform into beast forms. The evil orcs intended to take advantage of the chaos when the orcs lost their reason and went on a killing spree, thus allowing them to sneak into the cave and subdue the orcs.

“When I brought Ying Shen back, I knew that you had taken his beast pearl. Unfortunately, you had previously attacked Bileg with a high-level Mad Eagle Beast, but you were all wiped out. Bileg found the Mad Eagle Beast's beast pearl on that minor leader and kept it on his person ever since. So we put the beast pearl into Ah Shen's body!”

With a mocking smile on her face, An Xin slowly recounted the story.

When Ying Shen woke up a day later, he told him about how the evil beastmen had abused the eagle beastmen and threatened them with the old, weak, women and children.

He then recounted in detail how the orc slashed his body, took out the beast bead, and threatened him to sprinkle the medicine into the water.

So Anxin decided to play along and held a meeting with Bileg, the priest, the fox clan, and the chieftains of various orc clans to make a detailed plan and assign tasks.

In those days, in order to lower the guard of the beastmen, An Xin had Ao Jue set up a protective array, and at the same time asked Di Ting to monitor the beastmen's situation outside the shelter at all times.

"So, you knew everything about our actions? Why didn't you arrest us from the beginning?"

"Do you think everyone else is as stupid as you? Go to your base camp? Let you use the eagle orcs to threaten us? And then use us to force the orcs to submit?" An Xin finished speaking and let out a soft snort.

"You all saw through it! Xiao said it was a win-win situation, we'd win no matter what..." The Evil Emperor's voice was trembling, confused, unwilling, and dejected...

"That's right, everything you saw was what we wanted you to see. So the poisoning by Ying Shen was fake, his loss of mind and being out of control was fake, even our fight and the medicine for weakness were fake!"

"The fight was fake too?" The Evil Emperor's confusion deepened, and the imposing aura of a regional overlord vanished from his dark face.

"Don't you know that our fox clan's most powerful seductive arts include illusion magic!" An Xin tilted her head and said with a smile, making the evil emperor unable to believe her words.

"The fox clan! As expected of the fox clan..." the evil emperor muttered to himself.

An Xin didn't pause, making a move to finish telling the whole story.

When the orcs thought the Madhawks had wreaked havoc at their sanctuary and they all came out, Eagle Deep took advantage of the chaos to fly back to the orcs' mountain from another hidden exit of the cave located on a cliff.

Just as An Xin and the beastmen were provoking the evil king's competitive spirit and luring him into a trap, Ying Shen led all the eagle-clan beastmen to the sanctuary.

"So, we really were stupid, being manipulated by you all along..." The evil emperor stared at An Xin, his eyes filled with pity.

After a moment, his eyes glazed over, and he huddled in the corner, seemingly laughing, then looking terrified.

"Xinxin, what's wrong with him?" Ao Jue asked, seeing his seemingly insane behavior.

“I just feel that letting him die like this is too easy for him! He was staring into my eyes just now, and I cast an illusion on him!” An Xin glanced at the mad Evil King trapped in the corner of the formation. “Let his dream be fulfilled in the illusion, and then fall from the peak into the abyss, experiencing the same crimes he committed against other orcs!”

Upon hearing this, Ao Jue smiled noncommittally, coughed lightly twice with his fist to his lips, and reminded himself once again that he must not offend this female Yama!

That night, a mournful cry rang out, the evil king took two rapid breaths, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with terror. He died amidst the terror he had created...

Even after defeating all the orcs, An Xin was still far from at ease.

“Xiao Jiu, the celestial god that the Evil Emperor mentioned might be the same mysterious person that Quan Shaohua talked about! The dual cultivation technique he gave them is the same!” An Xin frowned, unable to suppress her unease.

“Xinxin, this person can travel between different worlds, he must be extraordinary, and he seems to be helping an ambitious villain! Could it be that he wants to destroy the world? But what good would that do?” Di Ting analyzed.

An Xin shook her head, exhaled a deep breath, and said, "Forget it, as long as he doesn't target me, that's fine. I'll just be more careful in the future!"
