destiny eternal calamity

After exchanging words, Li Wei learned that Xie Youshan and Zhong Kui Yaohua had been in Yaochi for over five thousand years to avoid calamity.

They truly knew nothing of the Han dynasty, let alone the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Li Wei thought for a moment, and realized that five thousand years ago, the demon race had just been completely defeated by the human race and driven to the demon state.

"Shanshan, was there a war between the demon race and the human race before you entered Yaochi?"

Li Wei asked.

"Of course, and the two sides have been fighting for more than a thousand years, starting seven thousand years ago."

Xie Youshan recalled.

However, she felt that Li Wei should know about this.

Perhaps it was because the two races were at peace when he arrived six thousand years ago, so he had no concept of this war that lasted for thousands of years.

Because the time travel involved a system, it was specially encrypted by the system, and Xie Youshan was unable to read Li Wei's thoughts on this matter.

Naturally, no one knew that Li Wei had just time-traveled twice.

"Did the Mirage Clan join the war?"

Li Wei had previously wanted to visit the mirage ruins, but after learning that Xie Youshan was alright, he wasn't so keen on it anymore.

"No, the Queen Mother of the West said that the demon race will surely be defeated, and the Kunlun demon race will not participate in the war."

"Later, several demon kings forced the Mirage Clan to participate in the war, so I made all the clansmen submit to Kunlun."

"Later, the Queen Mother of the West gave me some Stagnant Stones, and I sealed some of my young and talented clansmen into the Stagnant Stones and brought them to the Jade Pool Secret Realm."

Xie Youshan's expression was slightly bitter.

"The Mirage Race no longer exists in the world, right?"

"Yes, not only the Mirage Clan, but all the alien demon races have disappeared. The bloodlines of the demon races nowadays are very ordinary."

"That's right. Because our ancestors were exiled from the Immortal Realm. Although our bloodline is strong, it is difficult for us to reproduce in an environment lacking spiritual energy, and the offspring also have difficulty developing normally. That's why we developed the 'Worship of Gods' method, a way to coexist with humans."

"In the past, when the human race had a low status, we totem demons who used sacrificial rituals were indeed closer to the human race than those ferocious beasts that directly ate people. But with the development of martial arts and the rise of the human race, more and more human tribes began to refuse to coexist with the totem demons."

"In addition, with the depletion of longevity substances and the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation, the fate of the alien demon races will naturally be extinction, and the Mirage Race will be no exception."

Xie Youshan analyzed.

In a sense, the promise that the Queen Mother of the West made to her was indeed fulfilled.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother of the West opening up the secret realm and providing the Time-Binding Stone, none of the Mirage Clan members, including herself, would have survived.

"Besides you, could there be other exceptionally powerful demon kings who have managed to survive until now?"

Li Wei asked earnestly.

"Maybe, but the probability is very low. It's extremely difficult for a Celestial Venerable-level Demon King to be born in the mortal realm, in an environment with scarce resources, to refine the authority of the Great Dao and enter the Hall of Immortality."

"And even if such a demon king truly exists, they would still have to face the pursuit of heavenly tribulations."

Xie Youshan replied.

She has now completely grasped the power of dreams, but she has encountered many difficulties in the process of refining it, and she has also benefited from the luck of Li Wei, the chosen one.

If she were to rely solely on herself, she wouldn't dare imagine how she could attain the Dao of Immortality.

I'm afraid that he's currently sealed inside the Stagnant Stone, just like his younger relatives in the clan.

The two chatted for a long time, and under Li Wei's guidance, Xie Youshan did not talk about his subsequent descents.

It was only mentioned that the human race developed very quickly.

Li Wei then told her what he knew about human history and the current world order.

"Why does it feel like the human race has regressed..." Xie Youshan suddenly said.

Li Wei didn't take it seriously, only thinking that the depletion of longevity substances made the path to transcendence more difficult, which was why Xie Youshan had this feeling.

After saying all this, Li Wei thought of something.

"Shanshan, why did you pull me into your dream during the day?"

"Is it daytime where you are?" Xie Youshan was taken aback.

The day and night cycle in the Jade Pool Secret Realm follows the standard time of the mortal world, and she clearly only called Li Wei at nightfall.

"Have you been unable to contact the outside world?" Li Wei suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Xie Youshan nodded and then began to explain.

For the first five thousand years after entering Yaochi, she had not yet fully grasped the power of dreams, so she was unable to penetrate the secret realm of Yaochi and exercise her power without the help of the heavenly tribulation.

Naturally, they would also be unable to contact Livy, who might have returned.

However, she has been able to do this ever since she completely refined the power of dreams and took control of the Great Dao of Dreams eight hundred years ago.

At first, she called Li Wei every three days.

Because Li Wei said during his second descent that he would officially come to this world nine thousand years later.

So, starting a hundred years ago, she changed to calling once a day without fail.

I finally received Li Wei's reply today.

"Over five thousand years have passed, and the duration of a day and night has changed, which is why there is an error."

Li Wei guessed.

"Husband, what time is it where you are? I'll go back and tell the Queen Mother of the West to adjust the time at Yaochi."

"It was three-quarters past Chen Shi when I came in."

Li Wei replied.

This incident shows that Zhongkui Yaohua has indeed been out of contact with the outside world for over five thousand years.

How did the celestial maidens come about?

Could it be that he realized this on his own after reincarnation?

"Shanshan, besides those sealed demons, have only the two of you been living in the Jade Pool Secret Realm all along?"

Li Wei asked carefully.

"..." Xie Youshan opened her mouth as if to speak, but in the end she did not say anything.

"No, this issue involves the Dao oath," Xie Youshan said apologetically.

"It's alright, your safety is the most important thing."

Li Wei didn't press further, but his mind raced.

If they can't say, then there must be someone else involved.

Moreover, since it is related to the oath of the Dao, this person should be the Heavenly Maiden.

Therefore, it is actually possible to leave this Jade Pool Secret Realm.

But the question is, since the celestial maidens were definitely not in the Jade Pool after their reincarnation, how did they get in?

This Jade Pool Secret Realm cannot be entered or exited casually, otherwise Zhong Kui Yao Hua would not be unaware of the day and night cycle in the outside world.

I can't understand it at all, because there's so much missing information.

Li Wei stopped worrying about it; he figured he'd find out eventually anyway.

Right now, all he wants to do is provide emotional support to Xie Youshan, who has been imprisoned for over five thousand years.

He immediately showered her with sweet words as if they were free.

They've practically turned this mirage woman into a placenta.

It took about two and a half hours, or half an hour in the real world.

"Creating a dream through the Jade Pool Secret Realm, and then having to hide it from the Heavenly Tribulation to prevent it from locating the dream's coordinates, is too costly."

Xie Youshan said helplessly.

"It will probably take about three days for my authority to fully recover. I will contact you then."

She put her arms around Li Wei's neck, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and then said...

"By the way, Shanshan, didn't you give your adoptive mother the coordinates of her dream? Could you let her come in for some fresh air next time? Staying in Yaochi all the time must be boring, right?"

Li Weixiao burst out with emotion.

He swore he absolutely did not want to live off this unparalleled woman; he simply missed his adoptive mother.

Xie Youshan was about to end the dream when she heard this and her expression turned strange.

"Honey, have you forgotten about that?"

"That woman doesn't know how to face you now."

Her face was full of mischief.

That was one of her proudest achievements.

Zhong Kui Yao Hua had repeatedly tried to sow discord between her and Li Wei, and this time she finally got her revenge.

There's no such thing as a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflict.

After all, the problem would be solved if she simply changed her "mother-in-law" to her older sister or even younger sister.

Although Zhong Kui Yao Hua was still angry with her because of that incident, she felt that she had not done anything wrong.

What bad intentions could Shanshan possibly have?

She just wanted to share something good with her best friend.
