Tianba froze. Just as Han Wuxie said, he kept asking her to understand him as the head of the family, to understand his consideration for the overall situation, and to abandon his son for the marriage alliance. But as she said, when had he ever thought about all of this from her perspective, from Feng'er's perspective, from Han Rou's perspective, or from their perspective?

Looking back now, from their perspective, Tianba felt as if his heart had instantly plunged into an ice cellar, chilling him to the bone.

That helpless child back then would obediently bow to him every time, longing for nothing more than a casual glance from him. But he never looked at her directly. Even on her birthday, he wouldn't let her call him "Grandpa." From that day on, he stopped treating her as a granddaughter of the imperial family and made her treat him like a servant, only allowing her to call him "Master of the House."

Knowing full well that Feng'er only had eyes for Han Rou, and that Han Rou had been diligent and dutiful in the Tian family for many years, never making a mistake, and always respectful to her father-in-law, she was still met with constant harassment and aggression, never giving her a kind look. Han Rou had probably never suffered like this in the Han family. Such a refined lady had endured so much in the Tian family for so many years, even after Tian Miao was born, and still maintained her composure and grace. If she hadn't feigned illness and forced her son to divorce her, she probably would have continued to tolerate it, right?

My mind raced with thoughts of my past stubbornness. I always thought that everything I did was for the sake of the Heavenly Family, and that everything else was just a small sacrifice. But I never imagined that what I thought was a small sacrifice would become the biggest hidden danger to destroy the Heavenly Family. Is this what is called backlash?

He took a deep breath, knowing he had no right to beg for anything, but he couldn't just stand by and watch the imperial family be destroyed in his hands, could he?

He suddenly kowtowed heavily, and Madam Xu, who was kneeling beside him, turned pale with fright and said in a panic, "Master, what are you doing? Kneeling is one thing, but how can you condescend to do this? She is our granddaughter! How can you kowtow to her!"

Tianba's smile was tinged with melancholy, his eyes seeming to have seen through the world's illusions, carrying a hint of loneliness and indifference. His voice, like a broken clay pot, was low and hoarse, yet it could pierce one's heart, inexplicably evoking a sense of sorrow: "We've already knelt down, so how can we not kowtow? We've come to kneel and admit our mistakes, to kowtow and beg for forgiveness. Regardless of whether she helps our Tian family today, I must give her an explanation for what happened in the past."

Xu was stunned for a long time. Her husband's gaze made her feel a little unfamiliar. Was this still the same Tianba who was so domineering and imposing back then? In that instant, she even felt that Tianba had aged suddenly, not in appearance, but in his soul.

Madam Xu slowly turned her head to look at Han Wuxie, who remained unmoved. What kind of hatred could make this child so indifferent? His own grandparents were kneeling in front of him, even kowtowing and begging for forgiveness, so why was he still so unmoved?

There was no hatred in Han Wuxie's eyes. She lazily flipped through the book, her gaze fixed on the pages from the moment Tianba kowtowed. Tianba, however, did not stop, repeatedly banging his forehead against the ground. The dull thuds of his kowtows did not earn him a single glance from Han Wuxie. He felt as if the roles had been reversed. In the past, in the Tian family, that child's efforts had never earned him a single look. Now, he finally felt the bitterness of that. This indifference was far more heartbreaking than pointing a finger at him and scolding him for his past mistakes.

Looking at the bruise on her husband's forehead, Xu bit her lower lip, unable to bear it. She hesitated to speak, knowing that her husband wouldn't stop. Han Wuxie neither spoke up to stop her nor left, but instead kept reading, which meant he would continue kowtowing. No matter how she tried to persuade him, he wouldn't stop. Even though her heart felt like it was crawling with a thousand ants, so complicated that she didn't know what to do, she understood that it was better for her to do nothing and wait quietly.

Han Xingyu continued to play with the smooth, flesh-like immortal stone in his hand, a meaningful smile on his lips. His gaze seemed to be looking at Tianba, yet it also seemed to pass through Tianba and look at the flowers and plants behind him.

Han Tianci had a refined and humble demeanor, showing neither joy nor happiness, but his eyes held an unfathomable depth.

As darkness fell, Tianba continued kowtowing for two full hours. Xu Shi remained kneeling on the ground, motionless, feeling as if her legs had gone numb and no longer belonged to her.

Tianba continued to kowtow forcefully, his head booming. He couldn't think of anything. Usually, he was full of thoughts and considered himself extraordinary, but he didn't want to think about anything at all. After everything that had happened before, he understood that playing tricks in front of the person in front of him was tantamount to courting death. No matter what tricks he played, it seemed that he couldn't escape her eyes. So it was more convenient to think of nothing and just kowtow. Even if the other party didn't care about his kowtowing, he could still erase his past sins by kowtowing. Now he no longer sought to protect the Tian family, but only to have peace of mind. Even if the Tian family was destroyed and he died at the hands of the Cheng family head, he could leave this world without any guilt. It was better than dying with a heart full of regret for how he treated this child and dying with his eyes open in disbelief.

Han Wuxie appeared to be reading a book, but his divine sense had already drifted to the foot of Tianjia Mountain. The barrier that guarded the mountain should have been breached long ago, but Han Wuxie protected it with a wisp of his divine sense, preventing Tianjia from being destroyed instantly this time.

Looking at the sky, Han Wuxie said calmly, "No matter how powerful the Tian family's mountain-suppressing formation is, it has probably already been broken by Kong. Shouldn't the Tian family head go back and check?"

Tianba trembled, his kowtowing paused, but he didn't stop, and continued kowtowing, replying, "I'm afraid it's already broken, the Tian family has been destroyed."

Han Wuxie's expression remained unchanged as he gently turned the pages of his book. His voice was ethereal and profound as he said, "If I'm not mistaken, you two have come here today to ask for my help with the Tian family. But the Tian family should have been destroyed long ago. Even if I agree to help you now, it's too late. Why do you seek humiliation here? I advise you to flee far away as soon as possible, lest the Cheng family head catch you."

Tianba continued kowtowing, his voice hoarse as he said, "I came here today to ask for your help. If you don't agree, we have no right to make things difficult for you. I only want to kowtow and beg for forgiveness for the injustices I have done to you in the past. Today, I will atone for my sins with 1,081 kowtows. Whether you accept it or not, I can atone for my sins! I am the head of the Tian family, and I will not abandon the Tian family. Even if the Tian family is completely destroyed, I will perish with it. After I finish my last three kowtows, I will take my wife back to the Tian family. I will never run away. Even if I die, I will die honorably and repay what I owe you with these kowtows. In this life, I only wish that when I finally understand the truth, I will have no regrets."

"A self-inflicted injury ruse?" Han Wuxie asked with amusement.

After kowtowing three times, Tianba stood up, helped his wife Xu to her feet, raised his proud head, and said in a deep voice, "This is not a ruse. We won't blame you if you don't help, but I said myself back then that you are not a member of the Tian family, so naturally you have no obligation to help us!"

He seemed about to leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment, then stopped, looked deeply at Han Wuxie, and finally said sincerely, "Child, a dying man's words are kind. I know you hate me, and in the past I wished I didn't have a useless granddaughter like you. But you will always be my granddaughter. I have never had the thought of killing you. Even sending you back to the Han family was after much consideration. I knew the Han family wouldn't mistreat you, which is why I sent you back. No matter how much I didn't want a useless grandson, you are still of the Tian family bloodline! There is a secret that only the head of the Tian family knows. The Tian family should already be destroyed, and there will be no new head of the family. Naturally, I will not escape this calamity. I cannot take this secret with me. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, you are still a member of the Tian family. Consider this my last request: pass this secret down!"

Han Wuxie vaguely sensed Tianba's gaze on the ring on her hand. Clearly, this secret might be related to Hua Qianye. A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, but she remained indifferent and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't speak or refuse, which meant she tacitly agreed to him revealing the secret, Tianba said in a low voice, "This secret is related to the heirloom treasure, and it concerns the realm of gods."

Han Wuxie remained silent.

Tianba sighed and continued, "This heirloom was given to the ancestors of the Tian family by a deity. The deity instructed the Tian family to pass it down through generations, ensuring it was passed down within the Tian family bloodline. This was of paramount importance. Furthermore, the ancestors swore an oath never to entrust this treasure to anyone unrelated by blood. The ancestors speculated that someone acquainted with that deity must have perished. Perhaps the deity foresaw that the owner of this treasure would be reincarnated into the Tian family, hence the extreme caution, insisting it be passed down through the Tian family bloodline. Today, you have obtained this treasure and claim to possess ancient talents; you may be its true owner. Perhaps you will know its secrets. If you are unable to comprehend it, perhaps you are not its true owner. Please ensure it is passed down through the Tian family bloodline!"

Han Wuxie frowned and finally asked, "Is that all there is to the matter regarding the inherited treasure? Is there nothing about the spirit within the inherited treasure?"

Tianba hesitated for a moment, his eyebrows twitching slightly, and said in a low voice, "There are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Speak," Han Wuxie said calmly.

Tianba remained silent for a moment, then looked towards the void, the direction from which Hua Qianye had spoken earlier. He hesitated, but still said, "There is a rumor that at the same time our ancestor obtained the divine artifact, a major event occurred in the divine realm, which may be related to this."

"The Immortal Realm knows about things in the God Realm?" Han Wuxie glanced at Tianba with suspicion.

Tianba sighed and said, "In the past, there were always some busybodies from the God Realm who would wander around the Immortal Realm, just as there were many immortals from the Immortal Realm who would go to the mortal realm. However, after that incident, although the road between the God Realm and the Immortal Realm was not destroyed, very few gods and immortals were in the mood to wander around anymore."

Han Wuxie asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

Tianba said in a low, solemn voice, "The God King's treasure is missing, and the God King is unconscious."

"The God King is unconscious?" Han Wuxie carefully pondered these words, and after a long while, he seemed to have guessed something. He looked at Hua Qianye with a slightly strange expression, waved his hand and said, "Consider this a return gift for telling me everything. For now, no one from the Tian family will dare to make a move. However, you'd better behave yourself, lest I get in a bad mood. In that case, it won't be the Cheng family that comes looking for trouble, but the Tianxing Evil Palace that will take action themselves."

Tianba stared at her in disbelief. Logically, by this time, the Cheng family should have already breached the Tian family's defenses, those unfilial descendants should have fled long ago, and some of the junior disciples lacked strength. The Tian family should have already fallen. Yet she was saying that the Tian family dared not make a move for the time being. What did that mean? She had clearly been here the whole time, so why could she say such a thing so calmly?

"Show them out." Han Wuxie gestured to Han Xingyu and Han Tianci.

Han Tianci said calmly, "Patriarch of the Tian family, it's getting late. You should go back now. Whether it was an act or your true feelings today, you have already achieved your goal. If you don't leave now, you will be out of touch with reality."

Han Xingyu toyed with the immortal stone, his face full of roguishness, and said, "Whether it's an act or genuine, you've done a good job. If it's an act, then you're really cunning! Hurry up and leave, or do you want us to kick you out?" Han Xingyu's gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp, and he instantly unleashed the aura of a peak Immortal Lord.

Tianba and Xu looked at each other, not understanding what was going on, but they dared not linger there any longer.

Tianba gave Han Wuxie a deep look and said in a low voice, "If what you say is true, and the Tian family is still around, please come back and visit us two elders when you have time." He hesitated for a moment, then added, "Your grandparents."

Han Wuxie's eyes flickered slightly. If these words had come from his mouth earlier, perhaps he would have felt relieved. Unfortunately, last time was the last chance, but he played tricks, deceiving the Cheng family into attacking the Han family. In the end, the plan failed, and he had no choice but to come to him. Now it was all too late. Today, he was only intervening to give face to the Tian family's ancestor. Without the treasured heirloom preserved by the Tian family's ancestor, he wouldn't have everything he had today. He let the two of them go simply because they had told him that secret. He was returning the favor and didn't want to owe anyone anything. As for the future…

Han Wuxie said in a low voice, "The imperial family is the imperial family, and I am a descendant of the Han family. From now on, it's better if we act like strangers."

Tianba's eyes showed a slight disappointment, but he quickly smiled with relief and left with his wife.

Han Wuxie turned his gaze to the direction Tianba and Xu Shi had left, his expression a mixture of sighs, nostalgia, and a host of other strange emotions. He had initially intended not to let them go, and even if he spared the Tian family, he would still kill Tianba. But in the end, he let go, perhaps because the secret he had mentioned was indeed very tempting.

"Tianci, do you think I was right or wrong to let them go today?" Han Wuxie looked at Tianci and Xingyu, while Hua Qianye sat calmly to the side, saying nothing.

Han Tianci smiled elegantly and said, "This choice is already very difficult for my sister. It's right in some ways, and wrong in others."

"How so?" Han Wuxie asked, raising an eyebrow.

"If you were to kill them, you would be guilty of a grave offense, the sin of killing your ancestors with your own hands." Han Tianci sighed. "But they didn't acknowledge you as their granddaughter, so you don't need to consider that they are your ancestors. For everything they did to you in the past, a hundred lives wouldn't be enough to atone for it. If you let them go, you would be too kind."

Han Wuxie sighed, "Yes, it's right in one way and wrong in another. To not let him go would be too cruel, but to let him go would be too kind! Tianba is indeed remarkable. Whether he sincerely kowtowed in apology or not, those 1081 kowtows were actually a deliberate attempt to force me. If I didn't let him go, I would be too heartless! He knew I wouldn't let him go easily, so he offered an olive branch, using a secret as a condition. It seemed like a final request before his death, but he was actually gambling that I would use this as a way to back down and let him go. And he won the gamble! This secret is indeed very tempting to me, as it concerns Hua Qianye's identity!"

Hua Qianye murmured in a low voice, "The God King's treasure is missing, and the God King is unconscious. Is what he said true or false?"

Han Wuxie frowned and said, "I don't think it's fake."

Han Xingyu narrowed his eyes, a shrewd glint in them, and said with a wicked smile, "So that means Wuxie's ring is the missing God King's treasure, and this unconscious God King..." He didn't finish his sentence, but looked at Hua Qianye with a meaningful gaze.

Han Tianci said with a heavy heart, "This matter seems a bit complicated. Who exactly gave the ring to the Tian family ancestor? According to Tianba's analysis, my sister is very likely a fallen deity, and this ring was deliberately arranged for her by that person!"

Han Wuxie looked at Hua Qianye with some worry, frowning as he said, "If our guess is correct, you might be the unconscious God King. You fell into a coma because your ring was stolen, your soul was imprisoned inside the ring, and then brought to the Immortal Realm. But... why does this involve the Heavenly Family, and me?"

Han Xingyu noticed Wuxie's worry and frowned, saying, "Wuxie, are you afraid that giving the ring to someone from the Tian family is against the God King? And perhaps you yourself are also involved?"

Han Wuxie said in a low voice, "If I really am a fallen god, I wonder what my past life was like with him..." Han Wuxie bit his lower lip, hesitated, and looked at Hua Qianye, saying, "Perhaps, in my past life, I might have had a grudge against you!"

Hua Qianye shook her head and smiled gently, "A grudge? If there were, I wouldn't have unsealed you because of your tears. If you're talking about a grudge, it's more accurate to say I came here specifically to find you. I feel like I came here specifically to find you! Perhaps I placed my soul in the ring myself and sent it to the Heavenly Realm? If I were truly a God-King, how many people could possibly harm me?"

Han Wuxie smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid all of this can only be resolved when we go to the God Realm."

Han Xingyu asked curiously, "Sister Wuxie is already at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, doesn't she sense the time for her breakthrough yet?"

Han Wuxie gazed intently into the distance, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "It seems close. Perhaps one more seclusion will allow me to break through, but it also feels so far away. I wonder how long this seclusion will last."

Han Xingyu probed the Tian family's divine sense and said with a playful smile, "The Tian family's formation has been difficult to break through for a long time, while the Cheng family members have all perished under the formation. Sister Wuxie must have expended a lot of her divine sense power to keep the formation going for so long."

Han Wuxie smiled wryly and sighed, "The distance is quite far, and controlling the array with divine sense is indeed exhausting."

Han Tianci sighed slightly. His divine sense happened to scan Tianba and Xu Shi returning to the Tian family. Seeing the surprised expressions on Tianba and Xu Shi's faces, he revealed a mocking smile.

About half an hour later, the Cheng family finally withdrew their troops. This time, the Cheng family suffered heavy losses, but the Tian family was not seriously injured, as most of them hid in the formation.

Han Wuxie withdrew his divine sense and said with a faint smile, "If Tianba presses his advantage, the Cheng family will be wiped out this time."

Han Tianci continued to observe Tianba's every move with his divine sense. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "He did not chase after him."

Han Wuxie smiled knowingly and said, "The feud between the Cheng family and the Tian family is irreconcilable. He released the Cheng family today, hoping that the Cheng family will not grow stronger. If the Cheng family makes a comeback, they will still attack the Tian family."

Han Xingyu toyed with the immortal stone and said, "The old Tianba would never have let such an opportunity pass by. He's really changed his ways and become kind!"

"Foolish," Hua Qianye sneered. "To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself."

Han Wuxie raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you talking about me? If I let the Tian family go today, would that be cruel to myself?"

Hua Qianye clearly saw the mischievous smile in Han Wuxie's eyes, and shook his head indulgently, saying, "Your situation is different. You are still a descendant of the imperial family. He is indeed as he said. Even if he hated the good-for-nothing you were in the past, he never had the intention to kill you. You let him go today, probably mostly because of those words, right?"

Han Wuxie was slightly taken aback, then smiled, a stunning smile that left Hua Qianye momentarily stunned. Han Wuxie said softly, "You understand me best. If it weren't for those words, I probably wouldn't have let him go back unharmed. Even if I had, I should have crippled his cultivation."

Hua Qianye looked at her with doting eyes and said gently, "It's precisely because you have such clear-cut likes and dislikes that I find it so hard to extricate myself!"

Hearing this, Han Xingyu pretended to gag and said, "Hua Qianye, you're disgusting! How could you say such a thing in front of us!"

Han Tianci chuckled to himself, pursed his lips, and pretended not to have heard anything.

Hua Qianye glanced at Han Xingyu and sneered, "You brat, if you find someone you like in the future, you'll naturally become shameless too."

"Even if you're shameless, you can't compare!" Han Xingyu raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously.

Han Wuxie blushed slightly and coughed awkwardly, saying, "There's a saying in the mortal realm: 'If you're going to help someone, help them all the way.' Since I've already intervened to protect the Tian family, and Tianba isn't taking action, then naturally it's up to our Tianxing Evil Palace to do so. Perhaps this is what Tianba wants to see. It's not that he's become kind, but rather that he wants us to intervene. As long as the Tianxing Evil Palace helps the Tian family, who in the Immortal Realm will dare to provoke them in the future?"

Han Xingyu frowned and said, "That old guy, he still dares to play this kind of trick?"

Han Wuxie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is not a trick, this is my promise. He just wants to see if I can protect the Tian family because of that secret. If I don't, that secret might spread to the God Realm, and then it will be troublesome."

"If people knew that the Divine King's Treasure was with my sister, even a god would go mad!" Han Tianci cursed under his breath. "That old bastard, he still hasn't shown any restraint!"

"He's just trying to protect himself. Fine, let's send some people to deal with the Cheng family!" Han Wuxie smiled calmly.

Han Xingyu said, "I'll go!" and then she disappeared.

As expected, after Han Xingyu led a group of people from the Heavenly Star Evil Palace to completely wipe out the Cheng family, no one in the Immortal Realm dared to provoke the Tian family anymore. Tian Ba's decision not to chase after them this time was the right one.

In the imperial court, Tianba sighed deeply. Hearing this, Madam Xu asked with some confusion, "Master, shouldn't we be happy? The great calamity of the imperial family has passed!"

"I really wanted to let Brother Cheng go," Tianba said with a wry smile.

Xu was taken aback. In her opinion, Tianba also thought that he wanted to use Wuxie to eliminate the Cheng family, which was why he did not pursue them.

Tianba looked at the doubt in his wife's eyes and smiled more bitterly, saying, "If Brother Cheng had wanted to marry his daughter to Tianfeng back then, I wouldn't have guaranteed to agree, but instead respected Tianfeng's choice. Perhaps everything would have been different. In the end, the Cheng family was innocent too. For no reason, their family business, which had lasted for thousands of years, was destroyed because of such a trivial matter as marriage."

"Master, you've changed." Madam Xu smiled gently.

Looking at Madam Xu's gentle smile, Tianba couldn't help but sigh deeply, his voice hoarse as he said, "Madam, if I had become like this sooner, perhaps this conflict wouldn't have happened. In the end, it's all because of me. If it weren't for my domineering power, forcing Tianfeng to remarry, he wouldn't have written the divorce papers to protect his wife and children. It all seems to be because of my stubbornness and authoritarianism. Perhaps I shouldn't remain the head of the Tian family. If I continue to sit in that position, I'll become the same as before. Power can change a person!"

Madam Xu asked in surprise, "Is Master going to abdicate? But who in the current imperial family is capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility?"

Tianba's gaze deepened slightly. During the attack on the Tian family, his grandsons had long since sought refuge with their in-laws, and his sons had all vanished without a trace. It was truly a case of each fleeing for their own lives in times of crisis. The one who stepped forward to take charge was surprisingly his second uncle's grandson. His second uncle had been dead for a long time, and the boy was born out of wedlock and not particularly talented, yet, in this moment of crisis, only he had stepped forward.

Tianba smiled calmly and said, "Tian Kuang is a good kid, let's give him the position."

"What!" Madam Xu exclaimed in shock, "A son born out of wedlock, and his aptitude is poor, to pass the position of head of the imperial family to him? Master, what are you thinking? Even if you give it to him, how can he hold onto it securely? You've always looked down on sons born out of wedlock!"

"I was indeed a bit snobbish before. Whether they were illegitimate children or my own granddaughters and grandsons, I treated them coldly because they didn't have spiritual roots. But now that I think about it, all the children I taught were also snobbish. When we were really in danger, only those children could truly help the Tian family!" Tianba said with a wry smile. "I will stay here for now and leave once he has secured his position."

Xu looked intently at Tianba, and after a long while, smiled slightly and said, "Whatever decision you make, I will agree. Once he's in his position, what are your plans?"

Tianba took Xu's hand. No matter what happened, she always stayed by his side. Even when kneeling before Han Wuxie, she remained kneeling for two whole hours, staying with him. He said gently, "Haven't you always wanted to explore the Immortal Realm? Let's put everything aside, have a good time, and then find a nice place to live in seclusion, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu's eyes welled up with tears. She pursed her lips and nodded, moved.

……

Hearing that the Tian family had changed heads, and that the new head was not a direct descendant of Tianba, but a concubine's son with little reputation in the Tian family, Han Wuxie and the others were somewhat surprised. However, they quickly came to terms with it. At the critical moment of the Tian family, it was a time to truly see who cared about the Tian family. Although Tianba had made many mistakes, he had indeed done a good job as the head of the Tian family because he always put the Tian family first. The new head of the family was the one who stood up to protect the Tian family at that time, so it was only right for him to become the head of the family.

Han Wuxie wasn't stingy. Knowing that Han Wuxie was born out of wedlock and his cultivation wasn't very good, he inexplicably felt a sense of empathy for someone from the imperial family who had been neglected. He had Han Xingyu give him a divine pill, which would be enough to help him secure his position and become a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even if the sons and grandsons of those powerful figures wanted to seize the position of family head, they would back down because of this person's current cultivation level.

Back in the Immortal Realm, as Han Wuxie had imagined, she had indeed made a name for herself. Whether it was her current cultivation level or the power of the Heavenly Star Evil Palace, she was now the undisputed overlord of the Immortal Realm. She never thought she would let Tianba and the Tian family go. However, fate did not seem to stop in the Immortal Realm. The day of becoming a god seemed to be approaching. But the closer it got, the more inexplicable panic Han Wuxie felt.

For the people of the Immortal Realm, the Divine Realm is high above them, and no one knows what the Divine Realm is like. Although there is a passage between the Divine Realm and the Immortal Realm, the gods seem to disdain coming to the Immortal Realm, and the passage between the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm seems to be completely useless.

Hua Qianye naturally knew Han Wuxie's feelings, but he was also afraid and apprehensive. He was just as clueless about the God Realm.

Meanwhile, in the distant realm of gods, it seems someone is watching everything in the immortal realm.

Inside the grand palace, a devilishly handsome man reclines on a bed covered with soft feathers, squinting as he watches the graceful dance of a beautiful woman. A woman beside him pours him wine and gently brings it to his lips. He rests his head on the woman's lap, completely enjoying the bliss of being drunk on a beauty's lap.

The man guarding the door was getting impatient. After a long while, the devilishly handsome man waved his hand, signaling the women to leave.

He sat up, a playful smile on his face, and said, "Not a single clue from the spies in the Immortal Realm?"

The man stepped forward and bowed, saying in a low voice, "Yes, but we no longer need his information. The Heavenly Star Evil Palace has exposed the news itself, seemingly intending to suppress the entire Immortal Realm."

"Oh? It seems you're short-sighted, only wanting to dominate the Immortal Realm. Then you're nothing to fear. There's no need to care about such a small place." The monstrous man said nonchalantly.

"My lord, even so, the strength of the Heavenly Star Evil Palace is somewhat unbelievable."

"What's so incredible about it? What kind of strength do you, a god, find incredible?" The monstrous man's eyes turned slightly cold, as if a murderous intent flashed in them. This murderous intent was not directed at the Heavenly Star Evil Palace, but at the subordinate in front of him who dared to question his judgment.

The man froze, trembling slightly, but still said in fear, "Thousands of Immortal Lords, a sect that appeared in a short period of time, yet possesses strength that no one in the entire Immortal Realm has. If these people ascend to the God Realm at the same time in a while, then the Heavenly Star Evil Palace will probably be able to occupy a corner of the God Realm."

The devilishly handsome man toyed with the wine glass in his hand and sneered, "Then nip it in the bud."

"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!" The man tried to leave, but the devilishly handsome man suddenly threw out his wine cup, grabbed the man's throat, and snapped his neck, killing him instantly. The devilishly handsome man threw away the severed head in his hand and sneered, "Even if I'm going to kill someone, I'll kill you first, you ungrateful brat."

The devilishly handsome man seemed to be considering something, his gaze slightly deep. He clapped his hands, and three stunningly beautiful men flew in from outside the hall. He said coldly, "A Heavenly Star Evil Palace has appeared in the Immortal Realm. Go and destroy it. I don't want such a place to appear in the God Realm."

The three men cupped their hands in greeting, "Yes."

……

Han Wuxie had been preparing to go into seclusion, but he always felt something pressing on his chest, and his face was full of worries. He was unable to calm down and go into seclusion, and the matter of going into seclusion was postponed again and again.

Han Xingyu, who was usually so mischievous, was nowhere to be seen; he had never been so solemn before.

Han Wuxie asked in confusion, "Xingyu, what's wrong?"

Han Xingyu said in a low voice, "As Sister Wuxie said, I took Shui Tianfan out of the ring world and followed him all the way, wanting to see who his master was, but—" He hesitated for a moment and then stopped talking.

Han Tianci frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."

Han Xingyu frowned and said, "He went to see three people."

"Three people? Who are they?" Han Wuxie asked in confusion. He rarely saw Xingyu so serious. These three people must be extraordinary.

Han Xingyu said in a low voice, "Those three people are more powerful than me. I was almost discovered. At the critical moment, the Root of God suddenly reacted. It had ignored me for a long time, but it helped me hide my aura at that time. Actually, I was hiding my aura, but my hiding was useless to those three. After the Root of God helped me hide, they didn't discover me. I'm afraid..." Han Xingyu lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid they are people from the God Realm."

"The gods finally couldn't hold back any longer." Han Wuxie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She had been wondering what was weighing on her, but now she finally understood. It was probably the question of why the God Realm hadn't reacted at all when she exposed the strength of the Heavenly Star Evil Palace. She didn't believe that the God Realm was really ignoring her. Logically speaking, even if the God Realm looked down on the Heavenly Star Evil Palace, they would still be afraid that the thousand Immortal Lords here would ascend to the God Realm at the same time. If a place like the Heavenly Star Evil Palace were to reappear in the God Realm, the only way to prevent such a thing from happening was to nip this crisis in the bud now.

"They are very strong." Han Xingyu seemed to feel fear for the first time. In the Immortal Realm, although Han Xingyu had no spiritual roots, he was not bullied like Han Wuxie and Han Tianci because of his poison skills. He was not afraid of immortals at all, and even killed many immortals, earning him the reputation of a little devil. Later, he went to the mortal realm. Although he was unfamiliar with the mortal realm, he was still a little devil in the Immortal Realm and had never been afraid. This time, after seeing these three people whose cultivation was unpredictable and whose temperament was hard to discern, he felt the fear of gods.

Han Wuxie sighed softly and said, "What's meant to happen will happen eventually, so we might as well go see them directly. Xingyu, where are they now?"

Han Xingyu said in a low voice, "They live near Tianxing Evil Mountain. Since the people from Tianxing Evil Palace are all in the Ring World, Tianxing Evil Mountain is currently empty. They are waiting for our people. If they show up, they will probably kill them on the spot."

Han Wuxie nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Don't you know the relationship between the Heavenly Star Evil Palace and the Han family?"

Han Xingyu said, "Because Shui Tianfan has been in the ring world, he knows very little. So the three people also know very little. They seem to disdain to capture other immortals to ask, and have been waiting for them to come to them at the foot of Tianxing Evil Mountain."

Hua Qianye floated out of the ring world. Just as he was about to speak, Han Wuxie interrupted him, saying, "I don't need your help!"

Hua Qianye smiled wryly, "Even if you don't need my help, let me know your plans, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Han Wuxie pondered, "Just like in the mortal realm, my divine root could devour the cultivation and divine root of an immortal lord. Now in the immortal realm, I want to test whether my divine root can devour the cultivation and divine root of a god."

"Have you asked the Root of God?" Hua Qianye asked slowly.

Han Wuxie smiled faintly, "That little thing thought I was trying to trick it out, so it didn't see the deity. It didn't answer me. It doesn't believe that the deity would come to the Immortal Realm to be swallowed by it. But judging from its greedy look, I think it should be able to swallow it."

Hua Qianye seemed somewhat hesitant, and shook his head, saying, "We can't take the risk. What if your divine root can't absorb their divine roots and cultivation, or what if they attack you before you even have a chance to absorb them?"

Han Xingyu shook her head and said, "Sister Wuxie, I'm afraid we can't do that. If the Root of God can really devour the cultivation of Root of God and God-man, my Root of God won't protect me. My Demonic Root of God is not one to endure. If it can devour, it won't hide me at all; it will devour me directly!"

Han Wuxie's brows furrowed slightly. This was somewhat different from her expectations. She hadn't rashly exposed the strength of the Heavenly Star Evil Palace; she had considered it carefully before doing so. If she didn't reveal the strength of the Heavenly Star Evil Palace, not only would she fail to intimidate the Immortal Realm, but the gods who couldn't get the information would also start with the Han family. Now, at least she could protect the Han family. The gods' target was only the Heavenly Star Evil Palace, but if she kept protecting the Heavenly Star Evil Palace in the ring, they would lose patience and inevitably trace it back to the Han family. Surely she wouldn't protect the Han family in the ring as well?

This trouble seems a bit too big. I originally thought it could be like in the mortal realm, where the cultivation level of a cultivator in the mortal realm could be used to devour the cultivation level of a Netherworld Lord with the root of a god. Now in the immortal realm, can't the cultivation level of an immortal emperor be used to devour a god?

Han Wuxie insisted, "I'll go see those three. When I get close to them, the Root of God will discover the divine beings. If I can devour their divine roots, they will naturally tell me. If not, I will hide like Xingyu and not let them find me!"
