Miler, who has a system for giving up

As Tianzang gazed at the victory, a sense of indescribable worry welled up in his heart, like a turbulent sea crashing against the shore. It was as if that worry was a towering wave stirred up by a gale, surging and churning within him.

He secretly speculated that there might be a powerful force as majestic as Mount Tai behind this giant serpent demon, otherwise it would never have dared to provoke their clan so brazenly.

Therefore, he made a decisive move, like a commander leading thousands of troops, and swiftly summoned all the demons to discuss a brilliant plan. He decided to send an elite force, like a tiger and wolf, to investigate the origins of the great serpent demon and the mastermind behind it.

At the same time, I was caught off guard and felt a ghostly aura drifting by, creeping in silently like a phantom.

After quickly giving instructions to Han Heng, we followed the aura like iron filings drawn to a magnet, and were surprised to find that it was a mysterious and ethereal deity.

His eyes were like an unfathomable pool, seemingly able to see into every corner of my heart. His gaze was like an incomparably sharp sword, piercing straight into my heart, leaving me nowhere to escape.

"The secrets surrounding you are becoming increasingly shrouded in mystery, and this battle is merely a prelude."

His words were as loud and clear as a great bell, their echoes lingering in my ears. They struck me like a hammer blow, and I asked him in a panic what he meant.

However, he merely smiled slightly, leaving behind a thought-provoking statement that seemed to awaken one's true nature: "Prepare for a rainy day, for an even greater storm is about to surge forth like a tidal wave," before vanishing without a trace like smoke.

I was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, calling out to my little darling. However, after a long time, my little darling finally responded to my call, like a beauty past her prime.

“Master, please don’t worry. That person was incredibly skilled! He was able to sever the connection between me and you so easily, like a master butcher dissecting an ox. Such a feat is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. Fortunately, it seems he only wanted to prevent others from eavesdropping on your conversation.”

The little girl's voice seemed to carry a hint of fear and trembling.

Upon hearing this, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind like lightning, an unbelievable conjecture.

“Little cutie, do you think that person might be the god who returned Hu Linhua? After all, he has such powerful abilities, just like a god in the heavens, who can easily sever our connection. However, I have never seen him in the divine realm, and he also said that I still have some secrets. All of this is like a fog, making the whole thing even more confusing.”

I muttered to myself, my doubts growing stronger like a surging tide.

"Master, please don't rush, let me explain slowly." She took a deep breath, as if to calm the turmoil in her heart, and then continued, "After my in-depth investigation and careful understanding, I found that although that person is not a god, he is indeed the key figure who saved Hu Linhua. Moreover, the power he used is not the divine power, immortal power or spiritual power that we usually see, but a mysterious and powerful demonic power."

Her words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. I listened quietly, without interrupting her, but countless questions welled up in my mind.

She paused slightly, seemingly observing my reaction. I looked at her expressionlessly, my doubts hidden on my face. Seeing that I didn't seem too surprised, she continued, "As for the secret you mentioned, I don't think it's referring to me, is it? After all, you only have this one secret."

Her tone carried a hint of playful whimsy, as if trying to dispel the tense atmosphere that was as taut as a bowstring.

However, I did not smile, but simply said calmly, "Go on."

She coughed lightly, and her voice, as melodious as a nightingale's, continued: "I suspect he came from another mysterious space, a space that may conceal a special demonic cultivation system. The fact that he could easily sever our connection shows that he also has a certain control over spatial power. Moreover, his statement that you have a secret might be because you possess some kind of magical artifact that can communicate with that mysterious space."

My brows furrowed, as if tangled in a cocoon, as I racked my brains trying to figure out what special items I might have on me.

Suddenly, I remembered the jade pendant I had worn around my neck since childhood, and its warm, smooth texture stirred a mysterious ripple in my heart.

"Could it be this jade pendant?" I murmured softly, as if afraid of shattering this dreamlike mystery.

Unable to contain her excitement, the little cutie exclaimed in a sweet voice, "Very likely! Master, why don't you try using your spiritual power to explore the mysteries of this jade pendant?"

I took a deep breath and poured my spiritual energy into the jade pendant as if swallowing a whale. In an instant, the jade pendant emitted a faint light, like a bright star in the night sky.

A strange power flowed through my fingertips like a gentle stream, and blurry images appeared in my mind, like an ancient scroll depicting a battlefield shrouded in smoke and filled with bizarre and fantastical creatures...

Just as I was immersed in the scene presented by the jade pendant, suddenly, a dazzling light flashed by like lightning, and a figure appeared out of thin air before my eyes like a ghost.

It was that mysterious man again. His brows furrowed tightly, as if he were shrouded in an invisible pressure, and he said coldly, "You dare to activate the power of the jade pendant without authorization. This will surely bring you great trouble."

I was suddenly startled and hurriedly asked, "What exactly is going on with this jade pendant?"

He sighed deeply, as if the weight of the entire world was pressing down on his shoulders: "This jade pendant is the key connecting our two spaces. The secret you possess is that it can open a passage to my space. Now that you have activated it, some evil forces over there are like sharks that have smelled blood. Soon, demons will follow the scent and come to investigate."

Upon hearing this, my heart sank into an abyss. I was extremely anxious and hurriedly asked, "What should we do?"

After a moment's thought, the mysterious man said, "I will temporarily seal the jade pendant for you, but this is only a temporary measure. You must improve your strength as soon as possible in order to deal with the impending crisis."

After speaking, he quickly formed a hand seal, and a dazzling light, like a shooting star, entered the jade pendant, causing the pendant's light to gradually dim.

But I know all too well that the real test has only just begun.

I stared intently at him, my gaze never leaving the jade pendant in his hand.

When he finally handed the jade pendant back to me, I breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put it away.

However, just as he turned to leave again, I suddenly snapped out of my daze and grabbed the hem of his shirt.

"Wait!" I shouted, a hint of anxiety in my voice. "Shouldn't you tell me everything now?"

He stopped in his tracks, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "This jade pendant originally belonged to a powerful demon lord in my space. I don't know why it ended up in this space and in your hands. In our space, demons and evil spirits run rampant, and there is endless strife. Many evil forces are always trying to find a way to open a spatial passage in order to invade other worlds. The fact that you just activated the power of the jade pendant will make those evil demons from that side smell the aura of this place."

I was terrified when I heard this, and pressed on, "Then I need to explain why you said I need to increase my strength. Currently, because I am in the demon realm, my strength is sealed, so my actual strength is far greater than it is now."

He pondered, “Although the cultivation methods of your world are quite different from mine, they can still be used as a reference. You should first improve your spiritual power by following the existing methods. I will keep an eye on you from the shadows and will definitely help you again if necessary. I have placed a wisp of divine sense into that jade pendant. If there is any emergency, you only need to touch the jade pendant and I will know.”

After saying this, he transformed into a dazzling stream of light and vanished in an instant.

I stared intently in the direction he disappeared, a raging fire burning in my heart. I secretly vowed to improve my strength as quickly as possible, to protect this world, to uncover the mystery hidden behind the jade pendant, and to bravely face the provocation of the evil monster that was about to descend.

The jade pendant I held tightly in my hand seemed to possess a mysterious power that captivated me, and memories that had just returned kept resurfacing in my mind.

This jade pendant was a birthday gift from my mother, the goddess Mi Shiyun, when I was young.

So, where did my mother get this jade pendant from?

With a head full of questions, I returned to Tianzang's clan.

At this moment, everyone had meticulously planned their countermeasures, much like skilled craftsmen.

Tianzang instructed me and Han Heng and the others to return to the human realm first, and to contact each other again after the matters in the demon realm were dealt with.

Although I was reluctant to let Tianzang stay, I had no choice but to accept it.

Fortunately, we have successfully resolved the issue of that ancient book. Once Tianzang has dealt with matters in the demon realm, he can come to the human realm to help us destroy that rubbing.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Han Heng and I, along with the others, set off on our journey back to the human world at breakneck speed, like arrows released from a bow.

But the words of that mysterious man still haunt my heart, like a ghost that I can't shake off. I don't know when the day that mysterious man spoke of will finally come.

After returning to the human world, life seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, like a calm lake.

However, Han Heng and I always felt as if there was a pair of eyes, like ghosts, watching us from the shadows, which gave us the creeps.

One night, I was asleep when I was suddenly awakened by a faint crying sound.

The cries were plaintive and sorrowful, as if they were the vengeful spirits from the deepest hell demanding revenge.

I was so startled that I broke out in a cold sweat. I quickly put on my clothes and followed the sound into the yard.

The silvery moonlight shone on a woman dressed in white. She floated in the air like a ghost, her face as pale as paper, her eyes empty and desperate, as if she had lost all vitality.

"Save me..." The woman's voice was as faint as a whisper, yet filled with utter despair.

Just as I was about to step forward, Han Heng suddenly appeared like a ghost and grabbed me tightly. "This is an illusion, don't be fooled!"

Before he finished speaking, the woman's body began to twist and deform, instantly transforming into a huge python that opened its blood-red maw and pounced on us like a wolf pouncing on its prey.

Just as the python was about to bite us, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed, and the mysterious man reappeared like a savior.

He held his sword and with a gentle wave, the python vanished without a trace, just as morning mist was dispersed by the sunlight.

"This is merely a test for them; the real crisis is about to sweep in like a storm. You must go all out and rapidly improve your strength, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

The mysterious man's words echoed in the air, like the resounding toll of a great bell, deafening and lingering for a long time.

His figure vanished like a phantom in an instant, leaving behind only a chilling silence.

I stood there silently, like a sculpture, my gaze like a torch, fixed on his receding figure, as if trying to imprint his silhouette deeply into my mind.

As he left, my heart was like a volcano that had been ignited, with raging flames rising into the sky, and an uncontrollable determination surged into my heart like a surging tide.

I clenched my fists instinctively, my fingers turning pale from the force, my nails digging deep into my palms, bringing a sharp, piercing pain.

However, I did not feel any pain at all, because my whole mind was focused on my inner determination.

I made a solemn vow in my heart that no matter what storms await me in the future, no matter how rugged and bumpy the road ahead may be, I will never back down in the slightest.

Han Heng had already keenly sensed my abnormality when I returned to the Tianzang Clan and became absent-minded.

He knows me all too well. I have never been so distraught as I am now. Even when faced with numerous difficulties and challenges, I have always managed to remain calm and composed.

When my little cutie saw how I looked, she was very worried and suggested that I tell Han Heng about it.

After all, Han Heng is not only my lover, but also a very reliable and trustworthy person.

He might give me some helpful advice and assistance.

At the same time, my little cutie reminded me that this matter not only concerns me personally, but also involves the human realm, the demon realm, the divine realm, and the ghost realm.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and confusion, we need to inform all sectors in advance so that they can make the necessary preparations.

As for the Demon Realm, the little cutie surprisingly said without any concern that the monsters from other worlds would definitely not bother to provoke us.

Her performance was truly astonishing, as if she knew everything about the Demon Realm that everyone feared.
