Feng Yin kept her back to the Emperor's edict. The Emperor's edict's hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembled slightly. He wanted to go forward, but he was also a little afraid.

He had no idea what kind of existence a mother was.

But today, Fengyin's protection made him, for the first time, feel a weak urge to rely on her.

The emperor mustered his courage and was about to step forward when Fengyin suddenly said, "Aren't you coming out? How long are you going to keep watching?"

Rin-gyu, looking completely bewildered, transformed back into human form and landed on the ground.

As soon as the giant turtle disappeared, everyone saw that the scenery that the giant turtle had blocked began to distort, revealing spatial cracks.

Two people emerged from the spatial rift.

It was Yingqing and Wuwang who should have remained in the Nine Phoenix Clan's territory.

The appearance of the two phoenixes immediately caused Feng Yin's killing intent to surge, and everyone couldn't help but feel short of breath and their hearts race as they watched the two sides confront each other.

"Wu Wang, how dare you show your face in front of me?"

He pleaded, "Although Wu Wang has done wrong, the gods have already made their judgment back then."

"After he descended to the mortal realm, he continued to actively search for the imperial edict, losing eight other divine souls in the process. He has already been punished."

"He only came to the mortal realm this time because he had no choice but to protect the imperial edict."

"The reason we are here is because we sensed signs of fighting not long after our friend Di Zhao and his party left, and we came to check on their safety."

"Please forgive me, Goddess Fengyin."

Ying Qing remained neither humble nor arrogant, and explained the cause and effect clearly, but Feng Yin still couldn't suppress her killing intent.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Di Zhao hurriedly spoke up: "I did know about my background after meeting Senior Wu Wang in the lower realm."

"Back then, it was Senior Wuwang's poor management that caused his evil spirit to do wrong. He himself was not the mastermind, and he helped me a lot when I was in the mortal realm."

Wu Wang knelt before Feng Yin and Di Yao, his hood falling down to reveal strange yellow hair and a scarred neck.

“I know I have committed an unforgivable sin and should have atoned with my death back then.”

"Thank you for your mercy, God, allowing me to redeem myself by descending to the mortal realm to find the imperial edict."

"But I haven't even managed to do this one thing well."

"Fortunately, many years later, the child Di Zhao found me, and by chance, he was finally able to reunite with you."

"I cannot send him back to you. Today I am willing to pay for my sins with my life, hoping that the grudges between you and my clan can be wiped clean."

Emperor Yao remained silent for a moment, and when he saw that Wu Wang was only a head and a soul, he knew that he had suffered greatly in the mortal realm.

Wu Wang, kneeling before them now, is nothing more than a feeble survivor.

He looked at Feng Yin cautiously: "Let's deal with this matter when we get back."

"It's not easy to see the kids, don't waste your time on this."

What Emperor Yao actually wanted to say was that since the imperial edict had been issued, Wu Wang had traveled with him all the way, and even if he hadn't made any great contributions, he had certainly put in a lot of hard work.

They didn't know what kind of person the Emperor Zhao was. Now, by killing someone in front of the Emperor Zhao, they would leave the child with the impression of being cold and ruthless, making it even harder for the child to get close to him.

Feng Yin remained silent, and Di Yao knew that she had agreed.

She was willing to do anything to spend even a little more time with the Emperor.

Emperor Yao looked at Emperor Zhao; this was the first time he had seen his child after it hatched.

The imperial edict has not yet been reborn; it is still an infant in the realm of gods.

However, their demeanor was much more mature than that of the carefree cubs in the divine realm.

It must have suffered a lot in the mortal realm.

Emperor Yao deeply regretted his past actions of carelessly losing the imperial edict.

If he had been more careful and hadn't given Jiufeng any opportunity, they wouldn't have been separated for so many years.

Guilt, longing, and love intertwined, and countless words choked in Di Yao's throat, yet he could only manage a smile at Di Zhao.

The emperor rarely felt so helpless in his life.

He wanted to see his parents, but when he actually did, he awkwardly didn't know what to say.

Ying Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Di Yao, you may leave now."

"There was quite a commotion just now. I'm afraid the Golden Crow and the Azure Phoenix, and other nearby winged creatures, will come to check the situation."

"I will stay here with Wuwang and explain the whole story."

Ying Qing took the initiative to open a time-space tunnel for Feng Yin and the others to reach the Phoenix Territory: "Go this way and you can be teleported to the edge of the Phoenix Territory."

She is the current leader of the Nine Phoenix Clan, and her talent is not to be underestimated.

With a wave of the hand, one can reach the realm of gods and the four seas and eight wastelands.

However, she wasn't looking for trouble. If it weren't for Di Yao and Feng Yin being there, she would never have opened this tunnel.

Di Yao nodded slightly, accepting Ying Qing's kindness.

The portal that had guided them here using the Star-Guiding Technique had long been closed, so it would be best to return to their territory with the imperial edict as soon as possible.

Di Yao looked at Liao Jin and the others: "I sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy just now, what was that?"

Liao Jin then realized, "Yes, just now an egg suddenly jumped out from under Lin Yu's belly, followed by a sharp gust of wind."

"I was wondering why. We don't have any wind-attribute creatures. I thought some blue phoenix had come to our aid."

"Upon closer inspection, it does resemble the work of a human cultivator."

Yun Yici had already put away the dazzling Annihilation Pearl and Huaichuan Sword at the first moment.

She respectfully handed over a sword talisman.

"Because I am young and weak, and our clan has formed a friendship with some cultivators in the human realm by chance, we brought some protective talismans with us to the Land of Divine Favor this time."

Di Yao took the sword and talisman, and asked curiously, "Which clan are you from?"

Lin Yu said, "We are from the Divine Turtle Clan."

The emperor replied, "I came here with Lin Yu and the others."

Wu Wang was so ashamed that he almost wanted to bury himself in the ground. If it weren't for Lin Yu, today's meeting would probably have been a pipe dream.

Seeing that Di Zhao and Lin Yuyun were close to them, Di Yao praised them generously, saying, "Good children, you've worked hard."

"Come on, let's go back together."

Since everyone had been traveling with the Emperor's decree, they naturally wouldn't refuse the Emperor Yao's warm invitation.

After all, there was the serpent clan chief lurking in the shadows, who knew when he might suddenly appear. It would be foolish not to seize the opportunity to cling to Emperor Yao and his wife.

Going with them to the Phoenix territory, at least you'll be safe.

The group followed Emperor Yao and entered the time tunnel one after another.

The tunnel looks dark from the outside, but stepping inside feels like walking among the stars.

Yun Yici and others all had the experience of traveling between the two realms by riding the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

Unexpectedly, they walked through the time tunnel as if on flat ground, feeling neither cramped nor having difficulty breathing.

Ruoshu held the little Zouwu in her arms, while Liaojin stood guard behind the mother and child.

Fengyin never spoke a word to Di Zhao, yet she stayed close to him as if afraid he would disappear.

Yun Yici calculated the time in her mind, and in less than half an hour, they saw the exit of time and space.
