Investing in the Empress's junior sister, she broke through her defenses after comparison.

Fine arcs of lightning flashed across his body from time to time, and each flash repelled the oncoming gray-black mist by several feet.

Thor!

He was like a solitary island in this chaotic ocean, a pillar of stability, using his decaying body to suppress the expansion of the maze and prevent this perilous land from continuing to spread recklessly outwards.

Day after day, year after year.

"do not know either……"

A sigh filled with weariness and longing echoed in this desolate place, only to be instantly swallowed up by the boundless chaos.

"Xiangling, have you received my envelope?"

Thor's cloudy blue eyes gazed towards the direction beyond the maze, where there was nothing but distorted space.

"Xiangling, your father misses you very much."

His voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"but!"

"The labyrinthine realm is inaccessible!"

"As your father, I have no choice but to stay here all day long!"

"Ugh!"

Thor sighed heavily, pointed his lightning-patterned staff at the void, and a thick lightning dragon roared out, smashing a large area of ​​chaotic mist that was trying to cross the boundary.

He missed his daughter, the little darling he had cherished since she was a child.

But he couldn't leave.

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to reconcile. He chose to guard this place and protect the millions of lives behind him, so he could only bury his longing for his daughter deep in his heart.

Just at this time!

Thor's calm and composed mind was suddenly stirred up by a monstrous storm!

He suddenly raised his head, his aged eyes fixed on a void in front of him!

The space there was being violently distorted in an extremely abnormal way, and a huge spatial vortex appeared out of thin air and was expanding rapidly!

The spatial vortex hovered in the air, and in just a moment, it had expanded to a massive size of tens of feet!

It lay there abruptly before Thor's azure eyes, spinning wildly and emitting a chilling spatial fluctuation.

Something wants to come in!

Thor's body tensed instantly, his hunched back straightened slightly, and destructive lightning gathered wildly on the lightning-patterned staff in his hand, emitting a "sizzling" sound!

Having guarded this place for ten thousand years, this was the first time he had ever seen a spatial passage from the outside world that could directly lead to the heart of the labyrinth!

However, before he could launch any attack...

Two distinct yet incredibly familiar auras flowed slowly from the swirling vortex.

One of them carried an extremely rich and mellow aroma of wine.

The aroma of the wine was so powerful that it even temporarily pushed away some of the chaotic atmosphere of this labyrinth.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly drunken chuckle pierced through the barriers of space and resounded clearly in Thor's ears.

"The Old God King!"

"I've come to see you!"

This voice!

The lightning that Thor had gathered on his staff suddenly stopped!

It's him!

That drunkard!

How did he get here? How could he possibly have opened the passage to the labyrinth?

Countless questions exploded in Thor's mind.

The next moment, the voice rang out again, tinged with mockery.

"in addition!"

"I'll also bring someone for you, Old God-King!"

"I'm sure you know him!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure stepped out from the enormous spatial vortex.

The newcomer was dressed in white, with a tall and straight figure. He carried a rusty ancient sword on his back and a purple-gold wine gourd in his left hand. He was tilting his head back and taking a big gulp of wine.

It’s Ye Feng!

He glanced around at the distorted and chaotic scene, clicked his tongue, and showed no sign of seriousness on his face, instead acting as if he had arrived at some novel tourist attraction.

Thor was completely bewildered by Ye Feng's leisurely and carefree demeanor.

He never expected that Ye Feng would actually come to visit this old man.

What shocked him even more was that Ye Feng could so easily tear through space and establish a passage within the maze! This strength was simply unbelievable!

Just as Thor was feeling agitated, Ye Feng arrived in front of him, grinning and shaking the gourd in his hand.

"Old God King, how have you been?"

Thor opened his mouth, but before he could speak...

From the endlessly spinning spatial vortex behind Ye Feng, another beautiful figure slowly emerged.

She was a graceful young woman, dressed in a pale yellow dress. Her figure was slender and her face was exquisitely beautiful. However, at this moment, her pretty face showed a mixture of nervousness and curiosity about this unfamiliar environment.

The moment Thor's gaze fell upon the girl.

boom!

It felt as if billions of thunderbolts were exploding in his mind at the same time!

His aged body trembled violently!

The lightning-patterned cane in his hand let out a mournful cry, and he almost dropped it because he could not hold it firmly!

His pale eyes, clouded by millennia of solitude, were fixed on the girl's face, unable to look away even for a moment!

excitement!

Unparalleled excitement!

Shocked!

Indescribable shock!

He never dreamed that Ye Feng... that drunkard, would actually... actually bring his daughter, Xiang Ling, whom he had been longing for, to this dangerous and mysterious place, and bring her to him!

Thor's body began to tremble uncontrollably due to extreme excitement.

His spine, which had been straight for a moment, hunched over again, as if all his strength had been drained away.

His chapped lips trembled and moved, but he couldn't utter a complete sound.

He wanted to call out that name.

That name he had silently repeated countless times in his heart.

"Xiang...Ling..."

Two words were squeezed out of his throat with difficulty, so faint as to be almost inaudible, yet they exhausted all his strength.
