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

Then they saw their owner writing and drawing on the "nothing to do" sign, and only put it away after a while.

"Xiao Jiu, come out and meet our future little brother!"

The two brothers didn't know what An Xin meant, but they saw the soul of a white dog float out of her body!

They were all stunned!

"You're really naive! From now on, when you're with me, you can't be like this, always jumping around in surprise! You're my little brothers, you're supposed to make me look good, how can you act like this? From now on, no matter what shocking things you see, you have to at least keep a blank expression, that's what makes you classy!"

An Xin pretended to put on a stern face and gave them a lecture.

The two exchanged a glance, then clasped their hands in a fist and bowed in unison: "Yes, Master!"

"Hahaha, you two are so funny. Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding! By the way, don't call me master anymore, it's too cheesy!" An Xin laughed so hard she was bent over, and then said to Di Ting, "Quick, release our Ghost General and let them meet the newcomer."

Di Ting shook his head, took out the warm jade, and summoned the four ghost generals.

"Greetings, Master!" The ghost generals bowed to An Xin as they came out.

"Alright, no need for formalities. I called you out here to introduce you to my newly recruited underlings!"

He patted the two brothers on the shoulder: "These are Wei Jun and Wei Zheng, the city lords of the North City!"

He patted Mulan on the shoulder: "These are my ghost generals. They don't remember their past lives, so they'll follow me in this life. You should get along well with them. This is Mulan, Qubing, Wanche, and Wanjun."

“From now on, we will all be brothers who are loyal to our master. However, the cultivation level of the North City Lord is much higher than ours. It seems that we will need your guidance!” Mulan said cheerfully and generously, raising her hand to bow to the two brothers.

"Don't be so formal. I've noticed you really enjoy this kind of thing. Let me tell you—they're from the Northern Di people. You might have even fought against each other in your past lives!"

An Xin stood on tiptoe, grabbed Mulan's shoulder, and started chattering away.

Di Ting couldn't stand it any longer: "Stop talking! You'll make us sound like mortal enemies!"

"Master...Master, no, we were just a tribe of the Northern Di. We were not good at fighting, so we often... In short, we have never fought against the Central Plains people!" Wei Zheng also called An Xin "Master" in accordance with the custom, and hurriedly explained in case everyone misunderstood.

"Oh, I see. It's alright. From now on, you'll follow me. You'll have spirit liquid and spirit stones, and you won't be bullied anymore!"

"What do you mean you're being bullied? You're lucky you don't bully others... Xin'er! What are they doing here?" Xie Zi'an's smiling face instantly fell when he opened the door and saw the two brothers.

"What's going on?" Everyone rushed into the living room, asking questions one after another.

An Xin asked everyone to sit down first, indicating that she would explain the situation clearly.

The Wei brothers looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

"Don't be shy, these are all my partners, including the World Lord!" Noticing the two brothers' discomfort, An Xin patiently explained and had them stand behind her.

After everyone settled in, their eyes all turned to this direction.

"I've called everyone here to announce something. The Kui clan has pledged allegiance to me! They will now explain in person."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at the Wei brothers with expressions that said, "Are you kidding me?"

An Xin stepped forward, indicating that Wei Jun could speak.

Kui Jun, worthy of being the city lord of Beicheng, though somewhat embarrassed, clearly explained why their clan came to this world and what prophecy they had received. He also recounted how they found and confirmed that An Xin was the god they had sworn to serve.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zian's furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Lord of the North City, can you tell us why you placed Quan Shaohua next to Lord of the East City?" Fu Mochen asked first.

"Quan Shaohua? You mean that Wei Hua?" Wei Zheng continued after seeing the other person nod, "He's a traitor, we've severed ties with him!"

"What about those forbidden techniques and cultivation methods he offered to Kwon Yuri?"

"What? In our Wei clan, only the witch doctor and the successor of the witchcraft know witchcraft. Even the clan members don't come into contact with these things. Besides, in our previous life we ​​were just a small tribe among the Northern Di. If we had cultivation techniques and powerful forbidden arts, how could we have been forced to sacrifice ourselves when we had no other choice?"

"How could you possibly have turned against Wei Hua?"

“He didn’t die in the sacrifice with us; he was just a member of our tribe who died during the sacrifice for some unknown reason. He came here with us by mistake. He never listened to the witch and my brother, and we always thought he died because of us.”

"So he broke ties with you and went to Dongcheng?" An Xin seemed to have caught on to something and joined the questioning.

The Wei brothers then explained the matter in detail, one after the other.

Initially, Wei Hua and the tribe hadn't fallen out, but later Wei Jun became the lord of the North City, gaining power and wealth. However, the tribe had only ever engaged in herding and hunting, and knew nothing about commerce or production. Moreover, aside from leaving supplies for the tribe, Wei Jun stored all the remaining spirit stones according to the witch's instructions.

Wei Hua felt that since there were spirit stones, the fact that he didn't use them for development and expansion, nor for the cultivation of his clansmen, must mean that he was using them for his own enjoyment.

Two years ago, the witch prophesied the arrival of a goddess and urged us to accumulate spirit stones quickly, saying it would help her. Upon learning this, Wei Hua had a huge argument with the witch and Wei Jun, and then disappeared. The witch divined that he was wicked and would hinder their clan and bring disaster, so she publicly expelled him from the tribe and severed all ties with him.

"So, you're victims too?" Xie Zian said calmly. Though he showed no emotion, everyone sensed that the World Lord was angry.

"It was my fault. Knowing he harbored evil intentions, I was too soft-hearted and didn't get rid of him..."

Kui Jun was filled with self-reproach, but Kui Zheng interrupted, saying, "No, brother, you feel guilty because Kui Hua died because of us. You never imagined he would end up like this!"

"He almost caused our master to misunderstand our entire clan!"

"Everything is a matter of fate, so don't worry unnecessarily! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come to the Netherworld, and if I hadn't come to this world, I wouldn't have met you. Think about it, isn't that right?"

An Xin glanced at Ao Jue, then winked at Xie Zi'an. Looking around, she realized that half of her companions were people she had met after arriving here.

"Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up. What's next?"

"Of course, we'll deal with Kwon Yuri and Kwon So-hwa!"

"Yes, without them, both worlds would be at peace."

Everyone was expressing their opinions when an untimely voice rang out: "Master, let's go back to the North City together. The witch and her people are eagerly awaiting your return."

Several gazes were cast toward An Xin and the Wei brothers standing behind her.

"We're going to the North City to take a look; all my people are there!" With a playful wink, An Xin decided to go to the North City with the ten members of the Wei Clan.

In the final vote, everyone except Xie Zian and Fu Mochen went with An Xin.

They all went back to pack their luggage, while An Xin and the Wei brothers went to see the Wei female ghosts who had almost been auctioned off.

The appointed day for departure finally arrived, and this time An Xin took over as team leader.

She used the Ruyi tablet to send everyone to the teleportation array. Following the steps Fu Mochen had taken to activate the array last time, she successfully activated it and thought about the coordinates of Beicheng in her mind.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the group successfully landed on the outskirts of the northern city.

An Xin further enhanced her understanding of the laws of space.

Led by Wei Jun, the group of ghosts arrived at a densely packed area of ​​Mongolian yurts.

"Clan leader!"

"The clan leader is back!"

"The chieftain has brought back a beautiful lady! Quick, go and inform the witch!"

The group followed Kui Jun through the yurts, while the ghosts shouted excitedly.

Some greeted the guests, some went to inform their relatives and friends, and some were simply curious... The scene was lively and heartwarming.

"Master, please come in quickly, this is my tent." Wei Jun arrived in front of the largest white yurt and personally lifted the curtain to welcome An Xin inside.

Inside the huge white yurt, there is a meeting place, a dining room, and a bedroom behind a screen.

"Master, please take the seat of honor." Kui Jun respectfully arranged for An Xin to sit in his original seat, while he sat to her lower left.

"Ah Jun, how many people did you sacrifice back then? Were they all voluntary?" Seeing so many yurts outside, An Xin couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. It was simply unimaginable if tens of thousands of people had been sacrificed.

Seeing An Xin's expression, Wei Jun knew what she was thinking and explained, "My lord, in the beginning, only our branch of the clan made sacrifices, and only the direct relatives of the clan leader were qualified to make sacrifices. If someone was unwilling, they could not make sacrifices. In the end, with the witch and the two inheritors, there were a total of 81 people."

"Alright, that was quite a heroic act." An Xin patted Wei Jun on the shoulder. "You won't have to work so hard anymore. With me here, you won't have to be so stingy with spirit stones..."

"Ah Jun, has the goddess arrived?" An old, anxious female voice came from outside the tent.

The curtain was lifted, and an elderly woman with white hair, holding a black, withered wooden cane, hunched over, was helped into the tent by two middle-aged women.

“This is Granny Witch.” After explaining to An Xin, Wei Jun stood up and strode over to Granny Witch. “Granny, we’ve found the goddess! She’s right here.”

"My lord, my mother-in-law lost her sight after making her prophecy. Please forgive her!"

"Grandma, I am An Xin, hello!" An Xin stepped down from the main seat and came to Grandma Wu.

The old witch stretched out her withered hands to An Xin, her hands trembling with excitement.

Upon touching An Xin's soft hand, Granny Wu was momentarily stunned, and immediately began to tremble as she was about to prostrate herself in worship.

"Grandma, what are you doing? You mustn't do this!" Seeing this, An Xin hurriedly supported Grandma Wu's arm.

"No, you are the daughter of the gods, our master! We will offer our most loyal souls to serve you." The old witch's cloudy, pale pupils were misty, and as she confirmed An Xin's identity, she was so excited that tears streamed down her face.

“Mother-in-law, please get up. The master is most afraid of these things. Didn’t you say that we would hold a ceremony after finding the goddess?” Seeing how agitated his mother-in-law was, Wei Jun also supported her arm and tried to distract her.

Sure enough, the old witch nodded repeatedly as if she had thought of something: "Yes, yes! Ah Jun is right. The ceremony of the master-servant contract must be performed. The auspicious day is in five days. Everyone, prepare well. From now on, we will all become the goddess's helpers and dedicate our strength to her rise."

"Huh? Ah Jun, why didn't you tell me about the master-servant contract?" An Xin stared at Wei Jun.

"The master-servant contract is beneficial to the master. First, it ensures our loyalty; second, we can die for our master; and third, if you... ah, that doesn't exist! In short, our lives are with you. Even if you are thousands of miles away from us, we can sense your danger or other extreme symptoms," Wei Zheng explained from the side.

"You all... you're making me feel so burdened! My life has suddenly become incredibly precious!"

"Xinxin! Isn't this wonderful? You're getting more and more help from me!" Di Ting rejoiced in her sea of ​​consciousness, indicating that An Xin should cherish this connection.
