The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

"Chen Guan!" He instinctively reached out his hand, his voice sounding hollow and powerless in the collapsing space.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

"He..." Su Yuehe happened to witness this last scene.

She covered her mouth tightly to keep from letting out a sob, but tears instantly welled up and scalding hot streamed down her face through her fingers.

An Changqing slowly lowered his outstretched hand, clenched it into a fist, and his nails dug deeply into his palm.

He turned away, unable to bear looking at the darkness any longer. The tip of his longsword drooped limply, striking the trembling metal plate with a sharp crack.

"He's dead."

"Impossible!" Long Ao roared as he rushed to the edge of the crack, his eyes bloodshot as he lay on the precarious edge, desperately looking down, as if trying to find evidence that the coffin still existed in the endless darkness.

"This is impossible!" He slammed his fist on the metal plate with a loud bang. "He even devoured the remains of a demon god! That monster couldn't kill him, how could he die in this godforsaken place?!"

His questions went unanswered; only the dust swirling in the air seemed to herald a cruel end.

The fly ash was swept into the sky by the gale, and the spatial barrier began to peel away in large areas.

The metal plate shattered completely. An Changqing grabbed Su Yuehe's wrist, Long Ao pulled Hong Yuan, and Yin Tianzheng grabbed Yin Chen.

"Go first! Hold on to me!"

An Changqing shouted, and everything ended in chaos.

……

The wind howled across the vast snow-covered plains, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

A crack appeared in mid-air, and the leopard tumbled through it into the snowdrift.

It shook its fur and stood up, patting its head with its paws in confusion.

Just now... it seems like something flew into its space?

On the other side, Chen Guan sat up.

Because the vest was too far from his original body, it dissipated directly, which led to his rebirth in the leopard's space.

"What the heck went 'whoosh'?"

The Baal inside his head was muttering complaints, and he could feel himself suddenly appearing in a remote place.

What kind of strange ghost ability is this? Baal clearly sensed that the signal representing Chen Guan had disappeared, but then it instantly revived and even flashed back to life.

"Baal, so what exactly is this?"

Chen Guan raised his right hand.

The black spots on my palms have darkened, and a dark golden light is moving beneath my skin.

No scales, no claws, those things that didn't quite look human have all disappeared.

"From my experience as a demon, it's strange that you've gained some demonic power. In all my years of life, this is the first time I've seen a human like you."

Baal clicked his tongue in amazement. Since ancient times, humans have been humans, monsters have been monsters, and demons have been demons. But Chen Guan was different; he had taken half a demon's body.

The key point is that there is no rejection phenomenon. It's as if the level of life has really changed, but it's not a complete change. He can still return to human form.

What kind of species is this?

Hey, what a weird kid.

Barr's interest in him grew stronger; perhaps he really could do things that even he himself couldn't.

"The power of demons?"

Chen Guan looked at his hand and rubbed his chin. He could feel that he could use the power within this mark at any time if he wanted to.

"Baal, that dead demon, what was his name?"

"Let me think. I don't remember the specific name, but he was attacking the authority of emotions, but he failed and died. I didn't care about the reason, because there are too many arrogant demons like him."

At this point, Barton paused, suddenly becoming curious about the cause of his colleague's death.

Even in death, he could still stir up trouble everywhere. Logically speaking, that colleague's strength in life should not have led to his failure in the challenge.

It smells like melon!

"Emotions?"

Chen Guan pondered the various encounters he had experienced. This pseudo-demon god was always accompanied by negative emotions whenever he appeared, which was understandable given the nature of his emotions.

Looking at the mark on his palm, no matter what, it couldn't be a bad thing. With that thought in mind, the next thing to consider was how to leave the leopard's space.

Chen Guan then turned his attention to Baal: "Baal, could you help me send a message to Guan Jinyue, asking Leopard to open the door for me?"

Baal: "..."

Who taught you to treat me, a dignified demon god, as a mouthpiece?

Despite his complaints, Baal had no choice but to resign himself to relaying the message; keeping the kid locked up here indefinitely wasn't a good idea.

After a while, the door opened.

Chen Guan raised his head, and ten steps away, Guan Jinyue stood in the wind and snow, holding a container.

"Ms. Guan, thank you."

Chen Guan spoke first.

"You...you're still alive?"

Guan Jinyue's voice was shrouded in the wind and snow, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise.

Although she didn't witness Chen Guan turn to ashes, as someone who frequently dealt with demons, she naturally knew that Chen Guan was in grave danger.

This was his will, and she could only comply, while also fulfilling her promise to him.

But... she didn't expect that Chen Guan was still alive.

Moreover, she was more curious about how Chen Guan had survived than that he had actually died.

She was completely unaware that her spatial teleportation had been smuggled out of her.

"I was lucky, I was fortunate."

Chen Guan surveyed the surrounding environment; it was covered in ice and snow, a silver-white world, a familiar climate indeed.

"Is this the North?"

"That's right."

Guan Jinyue nodded, not dwelling on why Chen Guan was still alive: "I was going to take Xiao Heng's body away, so I chose to teleport directly to the Northern Territory."

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider the problem of your sudden appearance. This is the territory of demonic beasts, far from the Great Wall. If you want to go back, it will probably be very difficult."

"I can't send you back right now. Forcibly teleporting me from Shanghai to here would have been very taxing for me. Besides, if I want to take Xiaoheng away, I might have to go through a battle, so I need to conserve my energy."

After speaking at length, Guan Jinyue stopped, only then realizing that she hadn't spoken so much in a long time.

Staying in the territory of monsters for a long time, far from human habitation, what used to seem commonplace now seems so rare.

"The Northern Territory..." Chen Guan suddenly thought, "Is it close to the Ice Sea?"

Although Guan Jinyue was puzzled, he still answered, "Not far, Xiao Heng's body is right by the sea."

"That's good." Chen Guan smiled. "Miss Guan, I have a cooperation proposal. I'll go with you to bring your sister back, and in return, you'll take me to the Ice Sea. How about it?"

Guan Jinyue pondered for a moment. This time, she might face a battle, which was why she didn't help An Changqing and the others leave.

However, since they had already broken the spatial barrier there, it wouldn't be difficult for them to leave.

Now, having Chen Guan, this top-notch enforcer, seems like a good idea.

Chen Guan's combat prowess is undeniable, and the reward he proposed isn't excessive—it's just a trip to the Ice Sea. Guan Jinyue has traveled there many times recently and is very familiar with the area.

A very good deal.

"make a deal."

Guan Jinyue nodded in agreement.

Chen Guan smiled with satisfaction: "Then thank you very much."

Guan Jinyue's idea was also his idea; the Ice Sea was the place Yue Teng had mentioned about the door.

He was a top-notch enforcer, and coincidentally, Guan Jinyue was also in his eyes.
