Su Ping barely opened his eyes, only to see black mist like sand. It stung his eyes as it passed by. His vision was blurry, and he felt as if his body was rapidly descending. Although he had no body at the moment, he felt his body getting colder and colder.

After a long time, a door appeared.

Endless light shone from behind the door, enveloping and surrounding his body. In an instant, Su Ping felt an extremely comfortable and warm feeling, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace.

This comfort made Su Ping somewhat indulgent, but soon he forced himself to open his eyes and check his surroundings.

As soon as Su Ping opened his eyes, he saw himself lying in the starry sky, surrounded by pairs of eyes. Among them were several familiar faces, including Consul Tan, who had accompanied him into the Sea of ​​Illusion, and Lou Lanfeng. In addition, some other people seemed to be deities of the Lou Lan family. They all looked relieved after seeing him wake up.

"That's great, you actually managed to come back." Lou Lanfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said with some surprise.

Su Ping slowly sat up, gradually adjusting to his body until he was completely in control, then quietly and cautiously asked, "What happened?"

Something happened in the Sea of ​​Illusion.

Beside him, an unfamiliar member of the Loulan Clan, a deity-conferred expert, looked slightly gloomy with lingering fear. He said, "The Black Tide period arrived early and suddenly erupted. The tide-observing devices placed inside couldn't detect it. It seems there was a problem deep within the Sea of ​​Illusion. Fortunately, we evacuated in time. Only a few people were trapped deeper, and some have lost contact..."

Su Ping frowned slightly. He had indeed encountered the black tide when he left, which made him unsure whether what he was seeing before him was an illusion or the real world.

"I remember we've only been inside for a short time, haven't we?" Su Ping said, glancing at Consul Tan beside him.

When Consul Tan saw Su Ping wake up, her complexion improved noticeably, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes. She looked at Su Ping deeply and said, "The perception of time in the Sea of ​​Illusion is blurred. Even if you master the Dao of Time, it is difficult to perceive the passage of time inside. You may feel that you have just stepped into the door, but in reality, you may have been inside for several months or even longer."

Su Ping frowned. He couldn't perceive time inside, and even the concept of space was vague. He could hardly perceive any rules, and his only reliance was his will.

"Can you tell me what happened after I went in?" Su Ping asked. "Also, how long have I been inside?"

While asking the question, he also secretly used his illusory method to construct a sword in front of him, but the sword did not appear after the illusory method was activated, and the construction failed.

Su Ping was not defeated; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had truly left the Sea of ​​Illusion.

The fact that the Void Path was ineffective after being released indicates that he has returned to reality, because the outside world cannot draw upon the mysterious power of the Sea of ​​Illusion, at least not with Su Ping's current abilities.

As for whether the ineffectiveness after release is also a kind of illusion, this can be judged by using the Void Path. When releasing the Void Path, his will cannot be invaded. Even if it is invaded by an illusion, it will become reality under the influence of the Void Path. But nothing happened in front of us, which can only mean that this is reality!

"So, I did encounter the Black Tide inside, and it wasn't an illusion." Su Ping thought of what the others had said, and felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of lingering fear washing over him.

"Shortly after we went in together, I felt that the thoughts buried in your consciousness shattered, which means that you encountered something extremely dangerous. My thoughts sensed it, but my thoughts shattered and I was unable to bring your consciousness back, which means that my thoughts were erased by the danger you encountered."

Consul Tan's expression remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

When the incident first occurred, her heart sank completely. In her mind, the top prodigy she was responsible for taking care of, the disciple of the Supreme, was basically dead!

Even her will could not protect him; such danger was enough to make even a top-tier star lord despair, let alone Su Ping, who was merely a mere ant in the Starry Sky Realm.

Even if Su Ping is incredibly talented and has a stronger will than others in the same realm, how much stronger can he be?

After she brought Su Ping's body out, she discovered that Su Ping's consciousness was indeed not inside the physical body, but trapped in the Sea of ​​Illusion, or perhaps it had dissipated inside.

But they didn't dare give up easily, and continued to wait there with Su Ping's body. If the door closed and Su Ping's consciousness hadn't returned, then there would truly be no hope.

At that time, Su Ping will become a living dead, retaining only the value of his body.

And their Loulan family will also suffer the wrath of the Supreme Being.

Although their family's resources allow them to bear the burden—after all, Su Ping's accident wasn't their intention—they will still suffer some losses, especially since Consul Tan, who is in charge of taking care of Su Ping, might take the blame.

"Your consciousness has been inside for half a month..." Consul Tan glanced at Su Ping and said, "The Black Tide has not subsided. We originally planned to wait until the Black Tide subsided before going in to look for you, but we didn't expect you to come back on your own."

The other Loulan family members who had been granted divine titles also nodded, their gazes toward Su Ping somewhat strange.

It's a miracle that someone at the Starry Sky Realm could survive for half a month in the Sea of ​​Illusion during the Black Tide period!

This shows how highly that deity valued Su Ping.

In their view, Su Ping's survival must be due to the protection of a treasure bestowed by a deity; otherwise, there would be no chance of survival. After all, even those who have been granted godhood can only flee during the Black Tide period, and once caught up in it, it is difficult for them to survive.

"Half a month..."

Su Ping hadn't expected to be inside for so long. He had escaped, comprehended the Dao of Emptiness, and hunted demon spirits all within a single day.

"I guess he was too immersed in comprehending the Dao of Emptiness." Su Ping's eyes flickered slightly. He stood up and slowly moved his body. He immediately felt the difference in his body, or more precisely, the difference in his consciousness.

His senses became incredibly sharp, like a finely tuned machine, allowing him to clearly perceive every cell in his body. His ability to mobilize his body was more than ten times greater than before.

Furthermore, the consuls Tan and other deified figures before him became clearer in his eyes, and he could even faintly see the golden aura emanating from them.

It seems to be some kind of special energy, which is emitted very faintly by everyone, as if it is deliberately restrained.

"My consciousness has indeed been strengthened..." Su Ping's face was calm, but he was overjoyed. Although this trip to the Sea of ​​Illusion was extremely dangerous and he almost died, the gains were enormous.

Not only was his consciousness strengthened, but he also comprehended the Dao of Emptiness and found the direction for opening up the second small world!

"They said it was the Black Tide period inside, and the phantoms inside also said it was the Black Tide period. Did my subconscious determine it was the Black Tide period from the Loulan family's records? When I left, it was those phantoms that propelled me away; I myself didn't even know which direction I was going. How could my subconscious know?"

Thinking of the scene when he left, a hint of doubt flashed in Su Ping's eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the expression in Su Ping's eyes, Lou Lanfeng asked curiously.

Su Ping glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and did not elaborate on what happened inside.

After all, it was something from one's own subconscious, and the Sea of ​​Illusion was too strange, with some things that could not be explained. The top-secret documents given by the Loulan family had very rudimentary descriptions of it.

"There were quite a few people who went in before us, have they all come back?" Su Ping asked.

Consul Tan looked up at the distance and said, "Some people have returned, but many others are in a similar situation to you; their consciousness remains inside. Without special measures, it will be difficult for them to return."

Su Ping glanced into the distance and saw that there were many unconscious figures lying in the starry sky, radiating outwards from the door. He was lying in the position closest to the door, probably because of his identity.

Seeing Su Ping sit up, the other deities accompanying him all looked over, clearly surprised and delighted.

Whoosh!

A god-consecrating being suddenly flew over, but was quickly blocked by Loulan Peak and Consul Tan and others.

"Su Ping, Mr. Su, do you know what the situation is like in the Sea of ​​Illusion right now?" This consecrated god was quite excited. Su Ping's return meant that others might also have this possibility.

Seeing that many of the Conferred Gods were watching him, Su Ping remained calm and said, "When I left, it was already the Black Tide period inside, and it seemed that the Black Tide was fluctuating, indicating that something had happened. I rushed out by following the impact of the Black Tide."

"Has something happened in the Kuroshio Current?"

The person who conferred the title was taken aback, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

The other deities in the distance also turned grim. The Black Tide was already dangerous enough; if something else happened, wouldn't it be even more perilous?

Currently, the exploration of the Sea of ​​Illusion is being blocked by the Black Tide. When the Black Tide erupts, all sorts of incredible dangers occur, as well as extremely ferocious demons appear.

From S-rank to SSS-rank demon spirits, they all dwell in the Black Tide. Even those who have been granted godhood may perish at any time in the Black Tide. Once they encounter the most terrifying SSS-rank demon spirit, even those who have been granted godhood will be powerless to resist!

"Hmph, so how did you get back?" At this moment, a discordant voice rang out, filled with obvious anger.

The speaker was a mature and beautiful woman who had been granted godhood. She was wearing golden armor and her battle skirt was like a cape, revealing her long, snow-white legs. She looked extremely beautiful and charming, but at this moment she had a gloomy expression. Lying next to her was a star lord who had appeared in the previous sparring battle. He seemed to be a person on the god lord list of a certain star region.

Hearing the beautiful woman's blunt question, Su Ping raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression equally unfriendly, and said, "Whether I can come back or not depends on my own abilities. How I got back is none of your business."

"you!"

The beautiful woman never expected that Su Ping would dare to contradict her on the spot. After all, she was a God-Conferred Person, while Su Ping, even as a Supreme Disciple, was just a mere Star Realm cultivator, an ant that could be crushed with a wave of his hand.

"Rose Venerable, Mr. Su is our clan's honored disciple and also a supreme disciple. Naturally, he is protected by many treasures. It is already remarkable that Honored Su was able to return and was willing to explain the situation inside to us. We hope you will not take your anger out on him."

Beside him, Lou Lanfeng stepped forward, his expression clear and composed, speaking with neither servility nor arrogance.

The other members of the Loulan family who had been granted divine titles also watched each other quietly. Although they did not speak, it was clear that if the other party made a move, they would immediately step in to help Su Ping.

The Rose Venerable's face was grim. Her grief had caused her to lose control of her anger. She glanced at Su Ping, who was being protected in the center, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Disciple of the Divine Venerable, indeed very arrogant. If you're like this before even being conferred a godhood, it seems you won't even respect us conferred gods afterward!"

Su Ping narrowed his eyes; these words were already inviting hatred from him.

Before he could answer, a long laugh suddenly rang out from the distant starry sky: "Even if I don't take you seriously, so what? You're just a third-rate deity, what makes you worthy of my respect?"

As the words fell, a dazzling starlight swept in from the dark universe, landing straight in front of Su Ping. As the light faded, it revealed an unparalleled figure, standing there like a long spear supporting the heavens and the earth, exuding majesty and domineering aura, yet also possessing a casual and unrestrained air, laughing at the world with an untamed spirit.

Su Ping was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Senior Brother Youlong!"

The figure that appeared before them was none other than their seventh senior brother, Youlong!

"Master foresaw that you would face a calamity in the Sea of ​​Illusion, and specially sent me to retrieve you from it. I didn't expect you to return on your own. Haha, you truly are my junior brother!" Youlong turned to look at Su Ping and laughed loudly.

Su Ping suddenly realized and laughed, "It's all thanks to Master and Senior Brother's good fortune."

Youlong looked Su Ping up and down and laughed, "Elder Yan said you already have the strength to break into the top ten of the God Lord Ranking, and I was a little skeptical. Now it seems Elder Yan was being modest. You've already surpassed those senior brothers ahead of you. I reckon the top spot on the God Lord Ranking in our star region will soon fall on your head!"

Su Ping coughed lightly and said, "Senior brother, keep a low profile..."

The two made no attempt to conceal their conversation, and Youlong's voice was quite loud. As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the many deities around them changed, and they looked at Su Ping with some shock.

How can someone at the mere Starry Sky Realm possess such terrifying combat power?

Crossing the Starry Sky Realm to challenge a Star Lord is extremely difficult, and only a prodigy can accomplish it. If Su Ping were to step into the Star Lord Realm, wouldn't he be the number one God Lord?

In the distance, the Rose Venerable's expression also changed slightly. At this moment, she suddenly understood why the Loulan family was trying so hard to win over Su Ping and giving him such preferential treatment as a mere Starry Sky Realm cultivator. It turned out that this prodigy's potential exceeded their expectations. To condense a small world with the Heavenly Fate Realm and to break into the top ten of the God Lord Ranking with the Starry Sky Realm were all miracles!

Even some supreme beings might not be able to do this when they are young!

She suddenly felt a pang of regret; she shouldn't have provoked such a prince!

"Which star sector are you from? Heh, how dare you take your anger out on my junior brother? I'll give you a chance. Come here and apologize now, and I might forgive you!"

Youlong turned his head, and the smiling face he had shown to Su Ping a moment ago had now vanished. He looked at the Rose Venerable with a calm and composed demeanor, exuding an undeniable majesty.
