Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

The system emitted a sharp popping sound as soon as Xue Lan finished speaking.

It drifted aimlessly in its sea of ​​consciousness, feeling helpless.

[Besieged on all sides, a desperate gamble!]

Xue Lan watched it from the side, her primordial spirit emitting a faint divine light.

"There's an idea!"

The system abruptly stopped and looked at her: [What method?]

"My body is essentially a container; theoretically, you can enter and control it."

"You want me to leave my sea of ​​consciousness and enter your body's control first?"

Xue Lan nodded.

System: [Do you think I'm stupid? How could I possibly enter your sea of ​​consciousness after leaving it?]

Xue Lan's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled and said, "You're quite clever!"

The system inexplicably felt offended and waved its hand, rejecting Xue Lan's suggestion: "[Let's try another method. I don't accept this suggestion!]"

Xue Lan still had a full head of white hair, and a cold glint flashed in her icy blue eyes: "There is only one way."

The system felt threatened: "Do you think I trust you? Do you really think you can abandon your own body?"

“What can’t I give up? That sickly body was only kept going by my soul. Now that I have obtained the essence of the Golden Crow, why can’t I exchange it for another one?” The woman’s voice was devoid of its previous laughter, chilling to the bone.

The system thought it was going to be laughed at by the main system, as it was the first system in history to be threatened with its life by its host.

He cursed Xue Lan a hundred and eighty times in his heart. The system used its ability to check Xue Lan's condition and saw that Ji Jinjin and the others were being besieged by the demons.

Unaware of the snow-white light threads slowly dancing behind him.

Xue Lan smiled but didn't say a word.

[Xue Lan, if you're lying to me, I'll twist your head off!]

After a few moments of hesitation, the system finally gave in. It transformed into a white ball of light and flew out from between the eyebrows of Xue Lan's demonic soul avatar.

Xue Lan thought that the system must be an extremely easy child to fool in its own world.

A ball of snow-white light danced at his fingertips, accompanied by the system's soft, gentle voice.

I'm leaving now, come back quickly, I won't fight.

A ball of snow-white light flew from her fingertip, and Xue Lan watched it drift further and further away until it disappeared completely.

Unbeknownst to the system, the instant it left Xue Lan's sea of ​​consciousness, the icy lake there turned a snow-red, and clusters of ice crystals destroyed the small pavilion where the system often brewed tea. The sky was shrouded in a blood-red shadow.

The wooden door deep within his consciousness swayed and shook, as if something was about to break through it.

Xue Lan once again vanished into the void, shaking out the golden crow she had previously stored away from her sleeve.

The golden crow has now awakened, gracefully spreading its wings under the moon.

The sun had already set, and without the sun's power, the golden crow's feathers resembled smooth black silk.

The first thing she said was a calm and gentle female voice: "Junior."

Xue Lan looked at the Golden Crow, her eyes slowly taking on the black hue of the Golden Crow, and she forcibly suppressed the faint demonic energy that was overflowing from it.

"Xue Lan greets Your Excellency."

Jinwu looked at the soul in front of him and spoke:

"You are not a person of this world either."

Xue Lan had nothing to refute and nodded slightly. If Lei Kui could see her soul, there was no reason why Jin Wu, who was also an ancient demon, couldn't.

"The demon race has been invading the Yuanming Realm for ten thousand years. We don't need people like you who want to interfere with the river of time." The golden crow flew a small circle in the void, and when it landed, a small tree as thick as a person grew out of its feet.

"Even someone as learned as Bai Ze failed at the last hurdle and his soul was scattered! Now that you're plagued by inner demons, it's even less likely that you'll achieve anything."

"There's no need for you to trouble yourself at this point. The only reason I've awakened you is to obtain materials to stabilize your soul."

Intrigued by Xue Lan's words, Jinwu flapped her wings twice. She transformed into a woman in magnificent golden robes atop a tree branch, with a sun mark between her brows.

“Since I fell with the sun on my back, 13,249 years have passed. I have recently awakened and know that the sun rises and sets, and that day and night follow a certain order. This means that a new golden crow has appeared on Fusang, far beyond the blue sea.”

"I will now ask you a question. If you answer it, I will not only willingly be devoured by you, but before that, I will also help you suppress the demonic energy above your demonic soul."

Xue Lan was overjoyed, but still pretended to be calm and asked, "Is what you say true, Senior?"

Jinwu looked at Xue Lan before him and slowly nodded: "We ancient demon beasts, whether righteous or evil, were born of heaven and earth and live as long as heaven and earth. But living forever is not necessarily a good thing. I have lived enough."

His words contained endless vicissitudes.

Upon hearing this, Xue Lan said no more. She looked up at Jinwu and said, "Senior, please ask any questions. I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

Jinwu straightened his sleeves and said, "As everyone knows, on Penglai, there is a wondrous tree called Fusang. The trees grow in pairs from the same root, and some are thousands of feet tall."

"Above Fusang dwells a golden crow, riding a chariot of the great sun, carrying the sun on its back for a tour."

"The Fusang tree and the Fusang tree are born from the same root and are interdependent in terms of destiny and fate. How can they turn against each other?"

Xue Lan was startled by the information contained in Jinwu's few words. Did this mean that the Fusang trees, which grew from the same root, had become enemies?

Xue Lan racked her brains, going through every possible thought. Finally, she slowly spoke:

"Those born of the same root may have different aspirations. Even if their bodies are in the same place, they will eventually have different thoughts. Even if they coexist for thousands of years, there will always be a time when they want to possess something for themselves."

Jinwu nodded in agreement: "That's right, so what if we're born from the same root? Ten thousand years have passed, and even the stones at the bottom of the sea will change, let alone a living monster."

The Golden Crow looked at the moon overhead and sighed softly.

"Fusang forcibly split its roots, causing the heavens and earth to tilt. Just then, the demon race invaded."

"At that time, the clear and turbid in the world had already separated. The turbid air sank down, causing the demonic energy in the southern region to rise. It has not been destroyed for ten thousand years."

"This is the only thing I can tell you. Future generations will have their own ways of doing things, and I, as a predecessor who should have died long ago, will no longer concern myself with it."

The gentle female voice faded, and Xue Lan saw the golden crow before her slowly disappear, transforming into countless golden rays that flew into Xue Lan's soul. It drove all the dissipated demonic energy back into the wooden door.

Within a few breaths, Xue Lan's mind returned to clarity, except that the broken pavilion had not yet been restored.

Xue Lan stood there, stunned, staring at the last glimmer of golden light that hadn't faded from her fingertips.

I thought it would be a big battle, but it turned out to be just a simple question.

It's really hard to figure out what humans and demons in this world want.

The girl stood in the void for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "I should have died long ago, but I still insist on interfering."

The golden light was crushed in Xue Lan's hand. The woman took a step out of the void, and the sleeves of her robes fluttered as her soul energy surged.

Under the bright moon, the woman leaped into the clouds like a sharp sword, dwelling amidst the fierce wind.

His full head of silver hair gradually turned black, and his face began to change, eventually transforming into Xue Lan's current appearance.

With all her spiritual energy gathered within her body, the girl slowly opened her eyes, as if she had shed her previous identity as a demon and was once again the unreliable senior sister of Jiyuan Peak.

A voice transmission that had traveled thousands of miles reached my ears; it was the system.

The system tried its best to mimic Xue Lan's previous tone: "[You lied to me before; there wasn't a demon in your body before!]"

"and then?"

But now we have it!

Come back quickly, I'm hiding inside the house!

Xue Lan was immediately amused by it, and the girl said with a smile, "I'll be right back."
