Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

The two sat together, chatting about things from their childhood. Amidst laughter that was hard to tell if it was genuine, the conversation would turn to the changes in the Qing family over the years and some events that had occurred in the Starfall Domain.

Most of the time, Qinghe simply listened, and poured Qinghan a cup of hot tea when appropriate, almost never mentioning anything about herself and Mu'an.

Even when Qinghan tentatively inquired, Qinghe would only give vague answers and never mention any further details.

She would tell Qinghan some secrets and remind her of things to be careful about, but she wouldn't tell Qinghan what she and Mu'an had done.

Qinghe was much gentler towards the two younger children who were only seven or eight years old.

In addition to giving each person a gift, they also served the two of them a serving of spiritual fruit suitable for them.

The spiritual fruits in the mansion are supplied in unlimited quantities, just like ordinary fruits, but if these things were placed outside, each one could cause a bloodbath.

During this Qingming Festival, Qinghe maintained a dignified demeanor and hosted Qinghan and her two juniors throughout the event.

Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief only after watching Qinghan and his two juniors leave.

In recent years, she has felt that the distance between her and her brother is growing. Although she still respects her brother, every time she receives him, she feels somewhat tired.

Standing at the doorway, Qinghe tilted her head slightly.

A light drizzle fell from the sky, carrying a hint of chill, slanting down and wetting her long dress.

"My clothes are wet again..."

With a sigh, Qinghe hugged her shoulders like an ordinary person, took two steps back, and retreated into the house.

She didn't close the door, but walked back to the living room and lay down on the sofa.

After lying down for a while, she sat up again and scanned the entire room with her eyes.

The mansion was empty and desolate.

She searched the entire mansion but couldn't find that familiar figure.

Leaning back on the sofa, Qinghe raised her right hand. She squinted, her hazy gaze passing through the gaps between her fingers and lingering on the sky above the mansion.

"Qingming Festival..."

……

"So lucky...so cunning..."

……

"Obsession, obsession... I can understand others, so why can't I understand myself..."

……

When Mu An returned, Qing He had already changed into a "penguin outfit" and was lying on the sofa playing games, her little legs swinging restlessly.

Standing behind the sofa, Mu An glanced at the long dress thrown on the edge of the sofa, then at Qing He hidden in the clothes, and couldn't help but say something to her.

"How can someone be so fickle? If your brother saw you like this, he'd probably die of anger on the spot..."

The little penguin lying on the sofa spun around in place and moved its body.

After the penguin changed direction, a small face peeked out from under the brim of its hat, a fox-like smile on its fair cheeks.

"Sir, you still lack experience. People... what one isn't fickle?"

"Oh?"

The penguin rolled around on the sofa, from one end to the other, until it finally rolled under Mu An and met her gaze.

"Besides, my brother has his own family. He has a new family now and is no longer the brother who belonged only to me, Qinghe..."

"The Qing Mansion in Wangxing City is my brother's home, not my home, Qinghe. The place where you and I are now is my home."

"If you can't even feel comfortable at home, how tiring would that be?"

The two stared at each other for a while. Looking at Qinghe's eyes hidden under the brim of her hat, Mu An finally didn't say anything more to her. He just asked a question as if it were casual.

"Your cultivation level should be high enough to become an immortal, right? When do you plan to become an immortal?"

The penguin on the sofa rolled over again, perhaps from too much force.

With a loud thud, the penguin crashed heavily onto the floor.

"Ouch!!! It hurts!!!"

After howling for a long time, Qinghe finally poked her round head out from one end of the sofa, her slightly red eyes looking at Mu'an.

"Why the rush? Sir, you know I'm not very smart, so I need to build a solid foundation first."

Mu An wanted to say something more, but looking at Qing He who was holding her head, the words she was about to say changed.

"Becoming an immortal is a good thing, don't be resistant to it... But what you said makes sense, there's still plenty of time, laying a solid foundation is also a good thing."

……

Life was peaceful in Wangxing City, and bustling in Wenhua Palace, but the vast and turbulent Nine Realms were far from tranquil.

In the years since the old sword saint of Chengtian Domain traveled the world and his whereabouts have been difficult to find.

The power of the Samsara Pavilion expanded rapidly, and in just a few years, dozens of small countries declared their submission to the Samsara Pavilion.

If it's just a normal change of power, then it's not a big deal.

After all, even the leading sect of Chengtian Domain, the "Wuji Sword Sect," had no objections and tacitly approved the expansion of the Reincarnation Pavilion.

The problem is that the Reincarnation Pavilion did something that defied all conventions.

He openly demanded that all his forces convert to Christianity, abandon their faith in the "Great True Lord," and instead worship a great deity known as the Twelve Holy Lords of Reincarnation.

As everyone knows, there is only one supreme god in the Nine Realms.

In the Great Spirit Empire, He is known as the "Great True Lord," the source of imperial power, and the greatest deity in the world.

In Taoism, He is known as the "Great Heavenly Venerable of the Five Elements," the most noble deity in the world, the source of the Five Elements, and the origin of all Taoist practices.

In Buddhism, He is known as the "Five Elements Holy Buddha," the greatest Buddha in the world, and the lord of the Saha world in Buddhist doctrine.

In the various races of the Nine Realms, He is known as the "Lord of the Stars," the "Creator," the "Lord of All Spirits," and the "Immortal Demon God"...

Looking across the entire Nine Realms, there is only one supreme god, revered by all races, and this has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.

Despite the changing power dynamics and the outbreak of war, no one has ever dared to challenge the authority of the "Great True Lord".

Even during the most intense periods of war, the temples of the "Great True Lord" remained sacred sites that were not to be violated.

In the temple of the "Great True Lord," all weapons are forbidden.

This is the highest order from the Great Spirit Empire, and also the consensus of all races in the Nine Realms.

However, the Reincarnation Pavilion openly shattered this perception.

Under the watchful eyes of the masses, they instructed their forces to demolish the temple of the "Great True Lord" and instead erect the Sacred Scripture of Reincarnation, worshipping a deity known as the Twelve Holy Lords of Reincarnation.

The news shocked the world.

All the forces in the Nine Domains turned their attention to the Apocalypse Domain, the Great Spirit Empire, and Qing'an Prefecture.

For the mighty Great Spirit Empire, this was a blatant provocation.

A war called faith is about to break out.
