The news of the destruction of the Wood Soul Domain swept through the entire Misty World like a storm in an instant.

Those previously leisurely and carefree territories, those races that had previously had contact with the Eternal Alliance, and even some creatures dissatisfied with the Mist World, were all plunged into panic at this moment.

Because they knew that the Dark Eclipse Cult's next target was very likely to be them.

A realm of colorful clouds.

That is, the location of the Rainbow Cloud Clan.

Palaces built of white clouds or structured by rainbows, with towers suspended above the clouds, are all different in shape and full of fantastical dreamlike colors.

The environment here remains unchanged, just as it always has.

Deep within the Realm of Colorful Clouds, Yun Yin, the patriarch of the Colorful Cloud Clan, stood solemnly in a palace formed from seven-colored clouds.

The Wood Soul Domain was completely destroyed by two eighth-tier beings sent by the Dark Erosion Cult.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably be the next target of the Dark Eclipse Cult!

"Have the rules that have operated within the misty world for countless years finally vanished?!"

"Wood Soul Domain..."

Almost none of the numerous wood-based tribes there survived.

Fortunately, each race had a few sparks that remained in Lin Xiao's Eternal Alliance.

This can be considered as a way to avoid the annihilation of the entire clan.

"Chieftain!"

A colorful figure flew in from afar and landed beside Yun Yin.

That was the tenth elder of the Caiyun Clan, and also the dark cloud who was familiar with Lin Xiao.

"Chief, all the clansmen have assembled and are ready to depart at any time."

Yun Yin nodded, but did not speak.

His gaze remained fixed on the distance, as if he were waiting for something.

The tenth elder hesitated for a moment before asking, "Clan leader, are we really going to abandon the Realm of Rainbow Clouds? This is our ancestral home..."

Yun Yin turned around and looked at him, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"Home?"

He said softly.

"Home is not the land, not the clouds, not those ethereal things."

"Home is family."

"As long as our people are still here, our home is here."

He paused, then looked into the distance.

"The Heavenly Venerable of the Wood Soul Domain failed to evacuate in time because he was hoping for the best and was reluctant to give up the territory of the Wood Soul Domain."

"And the result?"

"All living beings in the Wood Soul Domain are dead!"

He survived, but his heart was scarred.

"If Lin Xiao hadn't relayed a message to us, saying that the Eternal Alliance still had some remaining sparks of the Wood Soul Domain, I'm afraid the Celestial Venerable would have..."

Yun Yin's voice was calm, yet carried an indescribable heaviness.

"I don't want to repeat his mistakes."

The tenth elder remained silent for a moment.

He knew the clan chief was right.

Faced with the threat posed by the Dark Corruption Cult, any hesitation could lead to the extermination of the entire race.

"Ha, we...including all living beings in the misty world, are all food raised and sustenance by that god of mist!"

"He allowed us to live so long... just to keep us as pets!"

"Once we grow stronger... we will bring Him even greater benefits!"

"And now, among this year's survivors, there has emerged a truly amazing individual."

"If He doesn't awaken soon, all His efforts may be in vain for others!"

Yun Yin looked into the void, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Looks like I played the right card!"

Seeing the clan leader's smile, the tenth elder hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask:

"Chieftain, where do we go next?"

Yun Yin smiled slightly.

"Eternal Alliance".

He raised his right hand and pointed into the distance.

There, the barrier of the Seven-Colored Divine Kingdom seemed to appear and disappear.

"Lin Xiao is our ally, and his divine kingdom is arguably the safest place right now."

"and--"

He paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"I believe that one day, he will lead us to avenge this blood debt against the Dark Erosion Order and the Mist World."

Elder Shi nodded: "Understood! I will go and organize the clansmen to prepare for the migration."

He turned and left, leaving Yun Yin standing alone at the top of the palace.

Yun Yin raised his head and looked into the depths of the void.

He vaguely sensed that an extremely terrifying entity was heading towards his Rainbow Cloud Realm.

The River Styx.

Void.

They are almost there.

Yun Yin's pupils contracted slightly, but he did not panic.

Because all the members of the Caiyun tribe have already evacuated.

Three days ago, when he learned of the destruction of the Wood Soul Domain, he made a decision—

The entire clan relocated.

All clansmen, all resources, and everything that could be taken were transferred.

For three days and three nights, without sleep or rest.

Finally, the evacuation was completed before the Dark Eclipse Order arrived.

Yun Yin withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"bring it on."

He said softly.

"This place is empty now."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of seven-colored light and disappeared into the distant void.

Three breaths later, the void cracked open.

The Styx and the void emerged from the crack.

They looked down at the colorful cloud realm below.

There, the colorful clouds and mist still linger, and the fairyland-like scenery remains beautiful.

But there was no one there.

Styx frowned slightly.

"We're late."

His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of displeasure.

The figure in the void appeared and disappeared in the void. His gaze swept across the entire Realm of Colorful Clouds, and then he shook his head.

"We are indeed too late. All the Rainbow Cloud Clan members in the Rainbow Cloud Realm have already evacuated, leaving only an empty shell."

Styx snorted coldly and waved his hand.

The phantom of the Styx River surged from his body, transforming into a colossal wave that swept towards the Realm of Colorful Clouds.

boom--!

The giant wave crashed down, instantly submerging the entire Realm of Colorful Clouds.

Those colorful clouds, those floating clouds, those palaces formed from clouds, all vanished into nothingness under the scouring of the River Styx.

Three breaths later, the giant wave receded.

The realm of colorful clouds has been transformed into a desolate void.

Nothing was left behind.

Styx withdrew its illusory form, a cold glint flashing in its eyes.

"They run pretty fast."

The void murmured, "The next target?"

Styx was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Let's go check out the Fire Soul Domain then! Although it's very likely we'll find nothing there either... but we're already here!"

Immediately, the two figures vanished into the void.

Eternal Alliance Border.

The barrier of the Seven-Colored Divine Kingdom slowly shifted, enveloping the entire territory.

Beyond the barrier, countless clouds of various colors were slowly drifting in.

Those were members of the Caiyun tribe.

Tens of thousands of Caiyun Clan members have gathered at the border of the Divine Kingdom, waiting to enter.

Yun Yin stood at the front of the group, looking into the barrier.

There, Lin Xiao's figure slowly emerged.

The two looked at each other across the barrier.

Yun Yin smiled slightly and bowed.

"Yun Yin, the patriarch of the Caiyun Clan, along with all his clansmen, requests entry into the Eternal Divine Kingdom."

"From this day forward, the Caiyun Clan is willing to be a vassal of the Eternal Alliance and will never betray it."

Lin Xiao looked at him, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Clan Chief Yun Yin, it's been months since we last met! Please come in!"

He raised his hand and waved it, and a portal opened up in the seven-colored barrier.

Then, Lin Xiao looked at the members of the Rainbow Cloud Clan, smiled, and said:

"From this day forward, the Eternal Alliance will be your new home."

Yun Yin took a deep breath, led his people through the gate, and entered the divine kingdom.

The spatial rift behind them, and the ruins of the Rainbow Cloud Realm, had completely vanished into the void.
