Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

"Guess what?" The Mirage Dragon's smug smile immediately ignited the Dream Eater's anger.

"I bet you're an old man!"

The mirage dragon, as if triumphant, shook its head and said, "Don't get angry, you can't beat me now, and getting angry won't do much good, hahaha. Besides, this is reality, not your dream."

"You! You! You! You!"

"Forget about you, come and hit me if you dare, I'm ready."

"Pah! I'm not going to stoop to your level. If I'm going to vent my anger, I'll go after the one up there." The Dream Eater pointed at Yu Jiang, who was fighting the old goat. Yu Jiang was very strong; in his prime, he could even be stronger than both of them, but unfortunately, he was now crippled. Now was the perfect time to fight. A group attack was relatively safe, so why not?

Listening to the two people's bickering, Cao Chen didn't dare to say anything. Another ruthless person came, and this time he stirred up a hornet's nest. The City God once again lamented what was going on in Jiading Prefecture recently, and how so many powerful people were nesting there.

"Don't make any rash moves. Let him withstand the pressure. This lazybones needs to grow up a bit. That's Su Mu's idea." The Mirage Dragon stopped the other party from making any further moves.

The Dream Eater didn't rush to attack: "If I'm not mistaken, he possesses the rules of spring. You've gained quite a few benefits in the Ghost Market of the Netherworld, haven't you?"

"I remember you used to be a regular there. Did you leave a hidden device on the door?" "No, no one expected that to happen. Could it be...?"

The Dream Eater immediately thought of Su Mu, its face filled with disbelief: "It's Su Mu!!!"

"You guessed right, so I stayed by his side. Getting through that door at this stage isn't easy. How do you plan to get in? We used some tricks to get in; it was difficult. Don't think we've already taken everything inside. Since you came to help, I'll tell you, no, there's no time. There's a void within that treasure chest space; you have the authority to create, so you should be able to try. But be careful, if you get trapped, getting out... hehehe."

The news that the Mirage Dragon had given the Dream-Eating Tapir left her speechless. She knew it would be difficult, but judging by the other's expression, it was even harder than she had imagined.

"How many of you are there?"

"There were four of us: me, Su Mu, Xuan Gui, and Dang Kang. Xuan Gui and Dang Kang discovered the loophole, Su Mu used the 'Painting Within a Cave' technique to create a world in the void, I used the authority of creation to support the world, and Su Mu used the laws of time to resist the erosion of the void. Even so, we still couldn't hold out for very long."

"In short, it wasn't easy, but the rewards were far greater than expected."

The dream-eating tapir could tell that the other party was not lying.

Seeing her expression, the Mirage Dragon sneered: "You didn't come unprepared and are planning to fight head-on, did you? Here's another piece of information for you: give up. If you get trapped here, you might really never get out. You should know who established the legendary Ghost Market in the Netherworld."

"That's just... wait until you see it..."

"It wasn't us, it was Su Mu; he saw Zhulong."

After these words were spoken, the dream-eating tapir fell silent, and even the voices of the group of otters became lowered a bit, becoming even more listless than at the beginning.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I won't give up, I have my own way." The Dream Eater smiled.

"You, on the other hand, have quite the opportunity. The world hasn't even fully recovered yet, and you've already seized the initiative. So, you've already chosen your side?" the Dream Eater asked with a smile.

The mirage dragon shrugged, undeniably: "It was just a well-intentioned reminder. But what about you? What's your choice?"

"You've taken the benefits, but I haven't. My choice is still unclear—let's see if the Immortal Venerable is sincere. Maximizing benefits, don't you think?" The Dream Eater smiled cunningly.

However, the Mirage Dragon scoffed: "Don't get dragged out of the dream and beaten up later. What a boastful tone. How many of those who returned are actually willing to fight a real battle? You tell me, right? I haven't seen many, only four I know of. Two were killed, one was suppressed and some escaped, and the other is right in front of us, about to be ganged up on. None of these troublemakers have a good ending."

"You need to understand a term called 'seeking advantage and avoiding harm,' right?"

The Dream Eater looked speechless: "Your smooth talk has certainly improved along with your strength."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The Dream Eater and the Mirage Dragon were exchanging barbs. Now the City God knew that another primordial deity had arrived, and he'd heard them use a string of divine titles. This gave him a sense of absurdity. What was going on? Had he stirred up a hornet's nest? Why were they all swarming out? He remembered that the revival of heaven and earth was still a few hundred years away. Although it wasn't a long time, it shouldn't be this rampant.

Cao Chen was just like listening to a heavenly book, with secrets spilling out one by one. Did he really not treat them as outsiders? Fortunately, he was glad he didn't run away. If he had, he would have been in big trouble.

The two thought that the Dream-Eating Tapir and the Mirage Dragon had already finished their quarrel.

"I'm not going to have any pointless arguments with you. So what are we going to do now, just wait here?" the Dream Eater asked incredulously.

"Just wait, wait for Su Mu to come out of seclusion. You think I don't know what you're thinking? You've been wanting to curry favor for a while, otherwise you wouldn't have come in person. Did you give away all your dream seeds? You're so stingy, all you have is this."

"What's wrong with your mouth? It's so venomous. Besides, those are seeds of dreams, not grass seeds. You have no knowledge at all." The Dream Eater was so angered by the Mirage Dragon's foul mouth that it died.

A blush appeared on her fair face, and she glared at the two people beside her who were looking at her nose with their eyes and her heart with their noses.

"Two useless people, not even offering any help. Such a beautiful woman standing right in front of you being insulted, and you just watch? Are you blind?"

The City God and Cao Chen, caught in the crossfire, wore expressions of utter disbelief. "Are you some kind of beauty? Even if you are, they're not ordinary people."

This made the two of them realize that the innate deities were not as purely divine as everyone thought, but rather a combination of divinity and humanity, which changed their perspective.

When the noise died down, they quieted down.

None of the four spoke, each of them had different thoughts, and no one knew what they were thinking.

His eyes fixed on the space above. It must be said that these methods of the old goat are truly inherited from Su Mu, like a weakened version of Su Mu. As expected of someone who has always been by Su Mu's side, it can only be said that he is extraordinary.
