Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

In the depths of the abyss, eternal darkness is solidified.

Lin Qing lay on the stone couch at the deepest part of the palace, her long, dark green hair cascading down her side like a piece of dark green seaweed.

Thousands of souls hovered silently above her head, not daring to approach.

Her eyes were closed, her breathing steady and long, as if she were one with the entire abyss.

Suddenly, her eyelashes trembled.

Those deep, dark green vertical pupils snapped open, a chill flashing deep within them.

She sensed it—through the power of the Netherworld, she sensed the movements of the divine realm.

Five high-ranking gods are gathering, their target being her master.

She sat up, and the spirits of the dead scattered.

She raised her hand, and a dark green scythe appeared from the void and fell into her palm.

The scythe gleamed with the light of death, its blade so sharp it could slice through space.

"My master is in danger," she whispered, her voice echoing softly through the palace.

She stood up and walked out of the palace.

Behind them, the Gate of the Underworld slowly opened.

Within the source of chaos, Lin Shan also opened her eyes.

Within its golden eyes, a chaotic vortex spun wildly.

She stood up and walked out of the source of chaos.

Golden light flowed around her, illuminating the endless chaos.

The two met in the void.

One golden, one green, two beams of light faced each other across the endless void.

Lin Shan stood in the golden chaotic light, while Lin Qing stood in the dark green abyssal light.

They exchanged a glance but said nothing.

But they both saw the same determination in each other's eyes—to protect their master at all costs.

The silence lasted for a long time.

Lin Qing spoke first, his voice low and somber: "The two of us alone cannot stop five high-ranking gods."

Lin Shan nodded.

If the God of Chaos and the God of the Underworld joined forces, they might be able to hold off a high-ranking god.

But if all five of them came together, they would have no chance of winning.

This is a fact, and there is no need to deny it.

"But we still have to try," Lin Shan said, her voice as calm as if stating a fact.

Lin Qing looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"Um."

She closed her eyes and concentrated the power of the Netherworld to its limit.

A dark green light shot out from her body, piercing through the void, through the star field battlefield, and through the ends of the world, reaching the ears of a being who had been sleeping for millions of years.

At the same time, Lin Yu was sitting on a warship, flying towards Kunlun Mountain.

Taotie nestled in his arms, fast asleep.

His little belly rose and fell, making a soft snoring sound.

Lin Yu looked down at her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Suddenly, Taotie's ears perked up.

Her eyes snapped open, and a strange light flashed in her large, bright pupils.

It heard Lin Qing's call.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yu asked.

Taotie did not answer.

She jumped off his arms and landed on the ground.

The tiny claws made a crisp sound as they stepped onto the metal floor of the warship.

Then its body began to expand—one meter, ten meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters.

The warship's compartments were instantly filled.

Vera quickly adjusted the space to prevent the warship from bursting.

When the expansion stopped, the Taotie transformed into that colossal creature, hundreds of meters tall.

It stood in the center of the warship, its body radiating a pale golden light, and its large, bright eyes now appeared deep and majestic.

It looked up at the sky and roared.

The roar emanated from the warship, shaking the very sky.

The clouds were torn apart, revealing a clear blue sky.

Then it opened its mouth and made a call.

That call is a special kind of energy—

Energy fluctuations that only ferocious beasts can sense.

It traveled across the world and reached the ears of three beings who had also been asleep for millions of years.

……

In the east of the world, in a desolate desert, the sand suddenly began to churn.

A giant Qiongqi emerged from the sand.

Its size is similar to that of the Taotie, and its body is covered with dark red scales, each scale resembling a red-hot iron plate.

It has a pair of huge fleshy wings on its back, with a wingspan of over two hundred meters.

It has two curved horns on its head, the tips of which gleam with a cold light.

It opened its eyes, its blood-red vertical pupils filled with a fierce light.

"Taotie, what do you want me to do?"

Its sound is like sand rubbing together, rough and harsh.

It flapped its wings and flew high, speeding towards the direction from which the call came.

……

In the southern part of the world, in a dark swamp, the mud suddenly began to boil.

A colossal chaos rose from the swamp.

It was larger than the Taotie, and its body was covered with grayish-white fur, which was covered with mud.

It has no face—no eyes, no nose, no ears, only a huge mouth.

When its mouth opened, it revealed a bottomless darkness within.

"Taotie, it's been a long time."

Its voice seemed to come from the abyss, low and hollow.

It strides forward, running northward, each step shaking the earth.

……

In the western part of the world, on a desolate Gobi desert, rocks suddenly began to crack.

A giant Taotie rose up from the stone.

It is about the same size as the Taotie, and its body is covered with black scales, which are covered with battle scars.

Its tail is very long, with a sharp bone spur at the end, and traces of dried blood from millions of years ago remain on the spur.

It roared to the sky, and the sound waves shook the Gobi Desert.

"Taotie, what trouble have you gotten yourself into now?"

Its sound was like the clash of metal, sharp and cold.

It turned and ran eastward.

……

The three ferocious beasts flew towards the direction where Taotie was located.

When Qiongqi, Hundun, and Taotie landed on the warship, the four ferocious beasts were finally gathered.

Qiongqi folded its fleshy wings and landed beside Taotie.

It stared at the Taotie, its blood-red vertical pupils filled with doubt: "You summoned us here just for that demigod?"

Taotie nodded.

It told them everything about Lin Yu—the trials of the four divine beasts, the pursuit of the five high-ranking gods, the entrance to the Realm of True Dragons, and the inheritance of the Dragon God.

After listening, Qiongqi remained silent for a long time.

Then it spoke: "You mean, that demigod is going to challenge the five high-ranking gods?"

Taotie nodded.

Qiongqi fell silent again.

It looked down at Lin Yu—the demigod standing at the feet of the Taotie, who was smaller than one of its toes.

Then it laughed, a ferocious and arrogant laugh.

Laughter echoed through the warship, making the metal panels hum.

"Interesting. In all my millennia of life, I've never seen a madman dare to challenge the five high-ranking gods." It looked at Lin Yu, its blood-red vertical pupils filled with mockery. "Human, if you die, I will devour your corpse."

Lin Yu looked up at the infamous beast and calmly said, "You won't have a chance."

Qiongqi was stunned for a moment.

It didn't expect this demigod to dare speak to it like that.

Then it burst into laughter, its fleshy wings trembling with laughter.

Chaos has no face, and its expression is unreadable.

But its voice carried a hint of anticipation, the kind of anticipation that comes from being dormant for millions of years and finally being able to stretch its muscles and bones.

"For millions of years, I have been asleep and have almost forgotten what battle feels like."

"The five high-ranking gods are just the right time to stretch their muscles and bones."

Taotie didn't speak.

It simply used the bone spikes on its tail to carve a deep trench in the ground.

The shape of that ravine can be summed up in one word: "kill".

Taotie looked at his three old friends, his eyes a little red.

Thank you.

Qiongqi slapped it on the head.

The slap was quite forceful, making the Taotie's head sway.

"No need to thank me. I'm not helping you, I just think it's fun."

Taotie covered its head and laughed.

As the four ferocious beasts gathered, Lin Yu led them and flew towards the center of the world.

At the summit of Kunlun, the ancestor of all mountains, the center of the world.

The Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with the highest peak piercing the clouds and its top invisible.

The mountain is covered with snow that has accumulated over millions of years, shimmering with a silvery-white light under the sun.

At the foot of the mountain, the power of the four divine beasts converged from the four directions: the emerald green of the Azure Dragon, the icy blue of the White Tiger, the crimson of the Vermilion Bird, and the jet black of the Black Tortoise.

Four beams of light intertwined in the sky, transforming into a four-colored pillar of light that shot straight up to the mountaintop.

Lin Yu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the majestic peak.

He sat cross-legged and guided the four laws from within his body—change, killing intent, nirvana, and eternity.

The four laws swirled around him, transforming into four colors of light that echoed the power of the four divine beasts.

The four-colored beams of light grew brighter and thicker.

At the mountaintop, a golden gate of light slowly opened.

Beyond the gate of light lay endless void.

In the void, countless sleeping dragons could be vaguely seen.

The Realm of True Dragons has opened.

Lin Yu stood up, preparing to take a step.

Just then, the sky split open.

A golden ray of light shot out from the crack, illuminating the earth and coating the entire Kunlun Mountain in gold.

The light was so dazzling, it was even more blinding than the sun.

Five figures slowly descended amidst the light.

At the very front is the God of Light.

He was enveloped in golden light, and his golden eyes shone with a dazzling light.

His body was as tall as a mountain; standing there, the entire Kunlun Mountains appeared small.

Behind Him is the God of Destruction.

It was a figure shrouded in dark red light, without a fixed shape, like a burning dark red flame, with a pair of blood-red eyes flashing in the darkness.

The God of Fate was shrouded in a silvery-white light, his silver eyes as deep as the starry sky.

The God of Darkness was shrouded in a dark light, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

The God of Life was enveloped in emerald light, with a pair of emerald eyes as gentle as water.

Five high-ranking gods descended simultaneously.

The God of Light looked down at Lin Yu. His golden eyes held no warmth, only icy divinity.

"Humanity, your path ends here."
