"No wonder the legend of 'Goddess Splitting the Temple' happened here."

"The mortal realm is hazy, but the immortal realm is boundless; this place truly seems to be a haven for immortals."

The story of "The Goddess Splits the Temple" takes place on Tianheng Mountain.

Paimon asked curiously what the story was about.

Yun Jin replied.

"It tells the story of...a young girl who becomes a hero."

"Heroes! Paimon loves hearing stories of heroes!"

Yun Jin then recounted the story in detail.

Legend has it that there was once a prosperous village here.

There was a couple in the village with an exceptionally good relationship.

Then one day, a terrifying monster suddenly appeared.

The wife was gathering herbs when she was captured by a monster.

The husband was heartbroken and soon went insane as well.

The monster told the villagers: If you can save your lives, offer the village's children to me.

The villagers were afraid of its power and had no choice but to obey its demands.

Just as the villagers were discussing who to offer up...

A little girl stepped forward.

She concealed an exorcism sword and pretended to be terrified as she walked towards the monster's lair.

He then boldly attacked, and after a fierce battle, he finally defeated the monster.

Later, because of her extraordinary talent, she was taken in by the immortals, which became a legendary tale.

Unfortunately, the mortal and immortal realms are forever separated, and she will never be able to enter the mortal world again.

Shen He: ...

[Paimon: Is this Shen He's story? Did she voluntarily go to eliminate the remnants of the demon god?]

[Mona: It doesn't seem like it, especially the second half; it doesn't match the information we have.]

[Yun Jin: This is just a legend my father heard; it may not necessarily be what happened to Miss Shen He.]

[Shinoin Heizo: Miss Shinzuru is Chongyun's aunt, so she belongs to the exorcist family, right?]

[Chongyun: What are you trying to say?]

[Shinoin Heizo: It doesn't make logical sense for a sorcerer family to have a six-year-old girl exorcise a demon.]

[Chongyun: Shall I check again?]

[True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind: No need for that, the explanation should be provided in the second half.]

"Cause and effect are fleeting in the mortal world, vanishing like smoke."

This is the ending of "The Goddess Splits the Temple".

Ying remained silent after listening.

Shen He said he really liked the story.

"But in my opinion, perhaps that little girl in the opera..."

"I'm not as brave as everyone says."

"She probably doesn't deserve such praise."

This was the first time Yun Jin had heard such a statement.

However, this is just a legend.

And opera, too, has been adapted.

Yun Jin said.

"When my father wrote this play, he probably wanted to inspire more people through the goddess in the play."

[Zhong Li: Opera or storytelling, in essence, is a rational adaptation of events.]

[Yun Jin: I hope I haven't offended Ms. Shen He.]

Shen He: I think it's a very good story, a story I've always dreamed of.

[Yun Jin: That's good.]

After hearing the story, the group was greatly encouraged and began mining.

In no time, they had collected all the "Shattered Star Iron Ore".

We then arrived at a village.

Ask someone for information about the "Secret Flower Stone".

On the edge of the village field, the villagers found an old man with gray hair.

However, the man didn't seem to want to pay them any attention.

Frustrated, everyone had no choice but to find a solution themselves.

Shen He said to Ying.

She had something to say to the old man.

"Is that alright, Uncle Mingjun?"

The man known as Uncle Mingjun looked surprised when he saw Shen He.

"Who are you...!"

"Shen He."

The old man was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.

After calming down, he gave everyone some clues.

Let them search freely.

Yun Jin and Ying tactfully pulled Paimon away.

After Ying's repeated searches, she finally pieced together the truth of the whole affair.

Shen He's father was saddened by his wife's death.

It was a taboo.

It summoned the remnants of the demon god.

They even believed what it said.

Shen He was left in the demon god's cave.

He finally realized that he had been tricked.

So he hanged himself.

The villagers, fearing the remnants of the demon god, moved away from the village.

Mona: I never imagined the truth would be so cruel. Fate is so cruel...

[Yun Jin: No wonder Miss Shen He said she wasn't as brave as the legends said; it turns out she was forced to face the monster alone.]

[Dishia: And what's more, she was abandoned by her own father and personally delivered to the monster...]

Amber: That old man named Mingjun must feel guilty too, for not being able to stop it.

[Navia: Probably, otherwise she wouldn't have made a special trip back to this place.]

[Paimon: Shen He, are you alright?]

Shen He: Hmm? I went back to Tianheng Mountain by myself before, and now when I see it again, my feelings have faded a lot.

The group searched for a while longer.

A clue to the "Secret Flower Stone" has been found.

As for Shen He...

Uncle Mingjun told her.

There was an opportunity to stop it at the time.

However, due to his soft heart, he still made a big mistake.

So he comes here every year to place some flowers.

"I've always felt that I owe you an apology."

Shen He said there was no need.

Even if you stop that person.

He can still find other ways.

He would do anything for his lover.

However, this is due to the pressure from the red rope.

Shen He no longer knew how he felt about that person.

The old man saw that Shen He was doing well now and had made friends.

After saying goodbye, he left.

[Yōmiya: As expected, the old man is also feeling unwell.]

Paimon: He must feel really guilty, having blamed himself for so many years.

[Ying: Knowing Shen He's current situation might make you feel better]

In the video.

The group prepared to set off in search of the "Secret Essence Stone".
