Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

A dark shadow darted swiftly through the mountains and forests.

There wasn't a sound in the silent depths of the mountains.

Only the desolate sound of the wind carried a low, mournful wail, which was especially eerie in the darkness.

"whee……"

"Give it all to me, give it all to me..."

"Give me all your power... You're already dead... If you're dead, just disappear!"

A chilling scream suddenly rang out.

Wu Zhao's figure appeared behind a withered tree.

In front of a seemingly deep cave, she saw Nunu dancing on the flat ground in front of the cave with a very peculiar gait.

As she danced, the deathly bees scattered among the withered trees swarmed toward Nunu.

In the dim moonlight, Wu Zhao could only see the intricate patterns on her face twisting strangely.

Those patterns... they're alive?!

A faint wail echoed once again from inside the cave.

Pain and struggle.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Nunu's smile was ferocious as she danced wildly.

"Die, die! Didn't you promise me that I could have anything I wanted?!"

"I want Brother Junwu, why can't I! It's all because you're too weak, you dare not do anything!"

She screamed almost frantically.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault! I want to become a god, I want to keep Brother Junwu by my side!"

One after another, deathly aura flowed out from the cave.

Then a bead emitting a faint green light floated out of the cave.

That is……

Wu Zhao's pupils contracted.

It is the heart of the mountain spirit!

"Danasus!"

A huge, jet-black scythe landed directly in front of Nunu, accompanied by Wu Zhao's voice.

With a loud "bang!", the flying sand and gravel obscured Nunu's vision.

Then the green bead was enveloped in black mist and brought before Wu Zhao.

He reached out and caught the bead.

The warm, smooth feel of the skin brought to his hands to the surface, and a series of shattered images flashed before Wu Zhao's eyes.

Nunu spat out the sand from her mouth and saw Wu Zhao standing behind her.

"Sister, it's you?"

"Shouldn't you be sleeping in the house at this time? Didn't I tell you... you absolutely mustn't leave the house at night?"

Nunu's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to overflow with tears of blood.

"You...a man who's a hundred or eighty years old, still acting like a little girl?"

Having seen the memories inside the bead, Wu Zhao was astonished by Nunu's deception.

She had no idea that the petite girl in front of her had actually lived for at least a hundred years.

A hundred years ago, Nunu, who was still a little girl, encountered a mountain god who had just developed sentience in the mountains. The little mountain god, who also looked like a child, quickly became good friends with Nunu.

The innocent and adorable Nunu was full of curiosity about the mountains. Led by the mountain god, she explored the mountains and brought out many precious medicines and small animals.

The mountain god liked this innocent and beautiful girl and was willing to let her take the things from the mountain away.

The greedy villagers, seeing this, continued to venture into the mountains to hunt animals and search for precious herbs, until the mountain god heard the cries of the small animals in the mountains...

He was furious at human greed and wanted to punish the villagers.

To appease the mountain god's anger, the villagers killed Nunu and offered him to the mountain.

Naïve Nunu, who didn't yet understand hatred, experienced excruciating pain first.

The mountain god expended too much power to preserve Nunu's shattered spirit, and the villagers, believing that the mountain god's anger had been appeased, began to exploit everything in the mountain even more ruthlessly.

By the time the mountain god discovered it, the entire mountain had been almost hollowed out by the villagers.

The mountain god went mad.

Nunu, who had already become a spirit, was quickly transformed into an evil spirit under the influence of the mountain god.

She tricked the villagers and set up a four-evil formation.

In order to torment these people, the Four Spirits Formation was incorporated into the Four Fiends Formation.

Those who destroyed the mountains must pay a price worse than death.

Neither the mountain god nor Nunu expected that the will of Heaven would manifest itself and descend here.

Nunu didn't know Junwu's identity; she was simply captivated by her stunningly handsome older brother.

But the mountain god knew this was the aura of the Heavenly Way, and he feared that Nunu would be punished by the Heavenly Way.

To protect Nunu from being discovered by Junwu, the mountain god exhausted all his power.

Even in his dying moments, he never discovered Nunu's lust and ambition towards Junwu.

He couldn't protect his own mountain, nor could he protect the girl he loved.

The remaining mountain spirits mostly hide in caves, weeping and wailing every day.

"madness……"

After reading the mountain god's brief memories through the bead, Wu Zhao let out a cold laugh.

Nunu's face showed some anger when she saw that the bead had been taken away.

There was barely suppressed anger at the corners of her mouth.

"Sister, give my things back to me."

“Those are mine, sister, you can’t take them for yourself.”

To everyone's surprise, Wu Zhao directly stuffed the bead that was glowing with a faint green light into the ring.

"Your stuff? Does it have your name on it?"

"Why don't you call it and see if it answers?"

Looking at Nunu with a mocking expression, Wu Zhao continued, "I didn't expect you to have been dead for so long. No wonder you weren't affected by Danadus's death aura."

Her sudden disappearance from the altar, unnoticed, was also due to this reason.

Having figured everything out, Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand.

"I don't know what you're talking about, sister. That bead is clearly mine."

She'd been preparing here for so long, finally managing to lure the bead out; how could she possibly give it away so easily?!

Once she absorbs that bead, she can replace that useless piece of trash and become the new mountain god!

Once she becomes the mountain god, she can keep Junwu by her side...

Thinking of this, Nunu's eyes shone with even greater excitement.

"You don't think you can become a god, do you?"

Wu Zhao saw through her thoughts and shook his head.

She clicked her tongue in amazement.

Why did she think she could become a god so easily?

Even for geniuses with abundant spiritual energy who are capable of cultivation, becoming a god is still incredibly difficult.

Not to mention Nunu, who has become an evil spirit burdened with blood sins.

If it weren't for the protection left by the mountain god, she would have been cleaved into dust the moment she met Junwu.

"Give me back the beads!"

Two lines of bloody tears streamed down Nunu's face as she lunged at Wu Zhao like a bolt of lightning.

Wu Zhao stood still, only sighing.

"Danasus".

A tall, slender figure appeared before Wu Zhao, pale fingers emerging from within a black robe.

The cold, gray fingertips touched Nunu's contorted face.

Her expression went blank for a moment.

"My lord, should we kill him outright?"

Danadus grabbed Nunu by the neck and turned to ask Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao was unsure whether this world would still exist after killing Nunu, wondering if it existed because of her.

She thought for a moment.

"Take her back to Junwu."
