Observing Ruo Ming''s expression, Ye Guan grew curious. "Do you know her?"


    She nodded and Ye Guan hurriedly inquired, "Who is she?" He was equally intrigued about thedy inside the coffin.


    Turning to Ye Guan, Ruo Ming seemed somewhat surprised. "You don''t recognize her?"


    "When I encountered her, she had no memories."


    "No memories?"


    "Yes." With that, he escorted Ruo Ming to stand before thedy in the white dress.


    Upon seeing Ye Guan and Ruo Ming, thedy in the white dress appeared puzzled.


    Ruo Ming gazed at thedy before her. "Do you not remember me?"


    Furrowing her brows, thedy in the white dress scrutinized Ruo Ming for a long moment before shaking her head.Ruo Ming suddenly ced her right hand on her shoulder. After a pause, she cast a deep look at thedy, but remained silent.


    "Sister Ruo, is she affiliated with the God n?"


    "No, she''s not. Like Qing Mo, she’s from the Primordial Spirit Land."


    "Then what about her and the First God?"


    Ruo Ming replied in a serious tone, "I met her once in the past, and she waspletely different from how she is now."


    "What was she like back then?"


    Thedy in the white dress also disyed a hint of curiosity.


    "Arrogant, extremely arrogant."


    "Extremely?"


    "She and Qing Mo are distant rtives from the same lineage. While Qing Mo''s arrogance is internal, hers is external. Back then, when they ventured out, perhaps only the First God was epted by the two of them. Even the God n would have been looked down upon by them..."


    Ye Guan fell silent. Individuals from elite families tended to be naturally arrogant. Though some were humble and modest, they were indeed a rarity.


    As if struck by a thought, Ye Guan suddenly spoke up, "Master Pagoda, am I modest?"


    Little Pagoda remained silent. <em>Was Ye Guan modest? In truth, yes. Despite being the strongest third generation young master in the world, Ye Guan disyed none of the typical traits of a pampered son.</em>


    At this moment, Little Pagoda recognized that the Yang Family''s method of upbringing children was quite effective. People who rose from the lower ranks usually didn''t carry such arrogance.


    Ye Guan had endured hardship and served as a subordinate. Hence, hecked the airs of superiority. If he had grown up alongside Ye Xuan and Qin Guan, it would surely have shaped his demeanor differently.


    Suddenly, Ye Guan inquired, "Sister Ruo, why did she lose her memory?"


    Ruo Ming nced at thedy in white dress and replied, "She sealed her own memories."


    Looking puzzled, thedy asked, "Why would I do that?"


    "That''s something only you can answer."


    Shaking her head, thedy admitted, "I don''t know."


    Ruo Ming turned to Ye Guan, asking, "How did she end up with you?"


    After exining the situation, Ruo Ming suggested, "You should take her back to the Primordial Spirit Land."


    Ye Guan nodded. <em>She can’t follow me forever.</em>


    “Wait!” Ruo Ming added, “If she regains her memories and learns about your pagoda…”


    Understanding the potential risks, Ye Guan mused, "Would it really be that bad if she regained her memories?"


    "Don''t underestimate the allure of your pagoda, it is much more incredible than the journal of the First God. Powerful factions would covet it. In front of the Great Dao, greedy people will lose all sense of morals."


    Recognizing the unpredictability of human nature, Ye Guan fell silent.


    Thedy in white suddenly interjected, "I don''t think I''m that kind of person."


    Ruo Ming smirked, "That remains to be seen."


    "Did we have some sort of conflict in the past?"


    "It''s not like that. We weren’t friendly to each other but our encounters were mere. I am just giving a friendly reminder to my new little brother."


    Thedy in white dress nodded and nced at Ye Guan.


    Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Sister Ruo, how do I get to the Primordial Spirit Land?"


    Ruo Ming''s tone turned serious. "It''s better not to go there now."


    "Why?"


    "That ce is very hostile. Even the First God didn''t receive a warm wee when they went... If you really want to go, you should bring your elders from home."


    Ye Guan decisively shook his head, "Then forget it."


    "Why?"


    Ye Guan smiled and shook his head, "If I bring my elders from home, there will be trouble."


    <em>Arrogance? If I bring along in Skirt Aunt, with her personality, she will wipe out the entire Primordial Spirit Land if they tried to be arrogant in front of her.</em>


    Ye Guan looked at thedy in the white dress. "What''s her name?"


    Ruo Ming answered, "Qing Dai."


    Ye Guan nodded slightly. "Lady Qing Dai, I can''t go to the Primordial Spirit Land now. When I have enough strength, I will take you there. What do you think?"


    "Okay."


    Ye Guan turned to Ruo Ming, "Sister Ruo, then I''ll leave."


    After saying that, he left the pagoda with Ruo Ming.


    Turning to Ruo Ming, Ye Guan bid farewell. He had other obligations to fulfill.


    Just as Ye Guan turned to leave, Ruo Ming suddenly offered, "If you ever need assistance without your family, you are wee toe here.”


    Ye Guan gratefully acknowledged her offer. "Okay."


    With that, he turned into a streak of sword light and disappeared into the distant sky.


    Ruo Ming offered a slight smile before gradually fading away.


    As Ye Guan emerged from the ck Death Realm, Erya and Little White appeared before him, apanied by Shen Xue.


    Erya sized up Ye Guan with a quick nce before affirming, "Not bad.”


    Clearly, she had recognized that Ye Guan’s Sword Dao had divinity now.


    Ye Guan smiled gently, embracing Little White before turning to Shen Xue beside him. "And who might thisdy be?"


    Shen Xue''s voice carried weight as she replied, "I''m Shen Xue from the God n.”


    Ye Guan nodded. "What can I do for you?"


    "Could we have a conversation?"


    "Of course."


    Shen Xue''s tone turned solemn. "Young Master Ye, to be frank, I''vee for the journal left behind by the First God.”


    "I had a feeling."


    "Would you consider selling them?"


    "Weren''t you here to take them by force initially?"


    Shen Xue nodded in acknowledgment.


    Ye Guan''s eyes fell upon thedy before him. "I''m afraid it is not for sale."


    Shen Xue fell silent as Ye Guan turned to Erya. "Shall we go?"


    Erya nodded in agreement.


    But just then, Shen Xue interjected, "Young Master Ye, I must warn you, you won''t be able to hold onto that journal."


    Ye Guan paused, turning to face Shen Xue. Her expression was earnest as she continued, "I mean no harm. But I feelpelled to tell you, that journal is incredibly valuable. Any who have ascended to the Divine Dao Realm will covet them, as it pertains to divinity. They''ll stop at nothing to obtain them."


    Ye Guan smiled wryly. "So, for my own safety, you''re suggesting I hand them over to your God n, correct?"


    Shen Xue fell silent.


    Ye Guan shook his head slightly. "Lady Shen Xue, I''m not sure if you can speak for your family. But I must tell you, I have no intention of making enemies with the God n."


    "I can''t speak for the God n. But I do hope that the God n and you won''t be adversaries in the future."


    Ye Guan smiled and said no more, turning to depart.


    As Shen Xue watched him leave in the distance, aplex emotion flickered in her eyes. If she had a say, she wouldn''t want the God n to continue antagonizing the young man before her.


    He had emerged alive from the ck Death Realm.


    Though she didn''t know how Ye Guan had achieved it, she was certain of one thing: he was no ordinary individual.


    Her intuition told her that this mysterious young man could very well alter the power dynamics of the Old Era.


    Shen Xue sighed softly before turning to leave.


    As for Shen Ling''s matter, she knew she couldn''t conceal it, nor could she dy it. She would have to inform the n truthfully. And once the n learned of it, they would surely pursue it relentlessly.


    Pride and a divine item - The God n desired them all.


    After a moment''s contemtion, Shen Xue let out a soft sigh before turning away.


    ...


    The God n.


    As an ancient n, the God n held sway over thousands of gxies, their influence was vast and far-reaching. When Shen Xue returned to the God n, turmoil ensued.


    <em>How dare someone y a member of the God n, especially one of the elders!</em>


    Within the hall of the God n, Shen Xue stood amidst a gathering of luminous projections. These ethereal forms represented powerful members of the family who were currently cultivating in a special spacetime.


    At this moment, these figures were seething with anger.


    The brazen act of taking a life of one in th eGod n was an provocation that could not be ignored.


    Sensing the collective fury, Shen Xue remained silent. There was nothing she could say at this moment, words were futile now.


    Suddenly, a virtual projection materialized in the vacant seat before Shen Xue. With its appearance, the noise in the hall subsided.


    The neer was the current head of the God n, Shen Qi.


    Shen Xue regarded the n leader with a slight bow, awaiting his verdict.


    <em>Would it be investigation, negotiation, or a kill order? The decisiony solely with him.</em>


    Shen Xue hoped that the n would opt for further investigation, to observe and decideter. She didn''t wish to be at odds with that mysterious young man. Perhaps in time, the forces behind him would be revealed, and a decision could be made then.


    The n leader spoke abruptly, "Kill him."


    The deration ignited fervor among the assembled elites.


    Shen Xue closed her eyes momentarily. When she reopened them, she stated, "Since the n leader has decreed a kill order, I suggest that he personally undertake the task."


    ...
