「Doupo World.」

「Outside the Hongmeng Divine City.」

"Gu Xun'er, what are you trying to do?" Yunyun's beautiful eyes, holding a sharp glint, were fixed on the otherworldly Gu Xun'er who strode through the air as she shouted angrily.

"Master Yun recognizes me?" Gu Xun'er paused in her stride, her indifferent gaze shifting toward Yunyun, surprised that the other party could call out her real name.

Even within the Xiao Family, not many knew she was from the Ancient Clan.

"Of course. The Ancient Clan of the Ancient Eight Clans, descendant of a Dou Emperor, with your father Gu Yuan being a Nine Star Dousheng powerhouse. You've been fostered within the Xiao Family from a young age to find the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade."

Yunyun's words caused Ling Ying, who followed behind Gu Xun'er, to pale drastically; even the Xiao Family did not know about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

Yet Yunyun knew.

Could it be that she had sided with the Soul Clan?

Ling Ying instinctively thought of the Ancient Clan's old nemesis, the Soul Clan.

"Was it the God of Hongmeng behind you who told you?" Gu Xun'er sized up Yunyun. Although it was a question, her voice was filled with certainty, and she became even more curious about the God of Hongmeng.

It was impossible for Yunyun to know so many secrets. It must have been the God of Hongmeng who told her. That the God of Hongmeng knew these things showed he truly possessed profound abilities.

"You can think of it that way."

Actually, Yunyun had learned this information from the Doupo files Wang Hao had given her. She locked her gaze on Gu Xun'er and said, "My god is the supreme Immortal God, transcending the cycle of life and death, all-knowing, beyond all comprehension, far surpassing any Dou Emperor you are aware of! As long as you worship my god, becoming a Dou Emperor in the future will be effortless. Should you be willing to make a sacrifice to my god, you will immediately be granted great Nature, ascend to the heavens, ascend to my God's God's kingdom, become a fairy or a deity, and transcend the existence of a Dou Emperor!"

"Nonsense! Stop spreading your deceit, or not even the God of Hongmeng behind you will be able to bear the consequences!" Seeing Yunyun actually trying to persuade Gu Xun'er to make a sacrifice, Ling Ying became furiously enraged and scolded fiercely.

However, at this moment, Gu Xun'er seemed as if she heard nothing, her heart churning like turbulent waves, unsettled and conflicted.

Is the God of Hongmeng truly an existence that surpasses a Dou Emperor? Could he possibly help me break free from the System?

Gu Xun'er was extremely conflicted inside. She knew there might only be one chance. If she failed, she estimated the System would erase her.

"Do you have any proof that the God of Hongmeng is an existence surpassing a Dou Emperor?" Gu Xun'er did not rush to kill Medusa or snatch the Green Lotus Core Flame to complete her mission; instead, she countered with a question.

If Yunyun could prove that the God of Hongmeng was an existence surpassing a Dou Emperor, Gu Xun'er would risk it. She knew it might be her only chance. In the Dou Qi World, where even a Dou Emperor had not been seen for many years, encountering a being above a Dou Emperor was an almost impossible stroke of luck. She could not miss this opportunity.

"That's simple." Yunyun smiled faintly. "Just pray with me once, and you'll know if my god is real!"

"Young Miss, you mustn't! It's surely a trap!" Ling Ying hurriedly advised.

"It's just a prayer. What trickery could I manage?" Yunyun did not look at Ling Ying but kept her gaze fixed on Gu Xun'er.

"Alright!" Gu Xun'er considered. It's just a prayer, after all. I don't believe Yunyun can harm me.

"Young Miss…"

"Say no more!"

With Gu Xun'er's insistence, Ling Ying could do nothing but watch Yunyun with full, wary attention.

「A moment later.」

After Gu Xun'er finished praying, she took a long moment before opening her eyes.

"Young Miss, are you alright?" Ling Ying asked worriedly.

"I'm fine!" Gu Xun'er shook her head, her heart filled with shock. So, there truly are gods in this world.

Glimmering stars flowed through her hair. Between breaths, the boundless Ancient Universe was born, evolved, and destroyed. Its greatness was unfathomable, its extent unimaginable...

It's too powerful. What I previously regarded as an invincible Dou Emperor is less than an ant before such an existence.

"How can I meet the Upper God?" Gu Xun'er looked at Yunyun, her face full of hope. If even such a mighty god couldn't solve her System problem, then she would never be rid of it in this lifetime. But she felt that the System was inferior to the God of Hongmeng.

"Young Miss, are you alright?" Seeing Gu Xun'er's demeanor, Ling Ying's expression changed drastically. Then, turning towards Yunyun, his anger peaked, "What have you done to Young Miss?"

"I'm alright! What Master Yun said is all true!" Gu Xun'er stopped him.

However, her words made Ling Ying even more convinced that she must have been bewitched by some sorcery.

What Yunyun said is true? An existence that surpasses a Dou Emperor? Is that possible? I've never heard of such a thing. Young Miss must have been deceived. I must inform the Clan Leader! Ling Ying thought to himself and stealthily took out a communication talisman.

"I said I'm fine." With a thought, Gu Xun'er unleashed a mighty force, sealing Ling Ying on the spot. She didn't want Gu Yuan to come and cause any misunderstandings.

"When I offer sacrifices to the Upper God, the god will reveal his divinity and bestow rewards." Seeing Ling Ying sealed and no longer talking, Yunyun continued, "Of course, the Upper God may not personally manifest, but a Divine Envoy will be sent. If you want to meet the Upper God, the best way is to offer yourself as a sacrifice. Under the grace of the Upper God, you will not die; instead, you will receive a tremendous Nature, ascend to the Ascending God Country, become a Dou Emperor, and even surpass a Dou Emperor."

Is that why they are willing to sacrifice themselves? Gu Xun'er's gaze swept over Medusa, Ya Fei, and the others as she silently mused.

「Meanwhile.」

Countless powerful cultivators around were utterly shocked. The news they heard today had completely subverted their understanding of the world.

Descendant of a Dou Emperor.

Ancient Clan.

A father who is a Nine Star Dousheng.

The God of Hongmeng who surpasses a Dou Emperor.

Offering a sacrifice will grant great Nature.

...

Every single revelation struck their souls profoundly.

"Grandpa, are they telling the truth?" Hu Jia's large eyes were full of curiosity, her delicate body trembling slightly. She didn't know about any Ancient Clan, but she knew of Dou Emperors and Nine Star Doushengs. Those were legendary existences, standing at the peak of the world.

"What they said about the Dou Emperor descendant and the Ancient Clan should be true. But this matter of the God of Hongmeng is still hard to believe…" Su Qian slowly spoke. In fact, the dean of their Canaan College was an elder of the Thunder Tribe, one of the Ancient Eight Clans. The Ancient Eight Clans were all descendants of Dou Emperors.

"I want to see for myself before deciding!" Gu Xun'er didn't agree immediately. The matter was too significant; she had to be certain of its truth.

"Okay!" Yunyun nodded. As long as Gu Xun'er doesn't cause trouble, it's fine. Once the Upper God manifests, you will all kneel.

「Soon.」

Under the curious gazes of everyone, Yunyun's ritual began. All believers prayed alongside Yunyun. Everyone watched, transfixed.

As the prayers ended, the altar lit up. Runes, as if coming to life, emitted a dazzling light. A pillar of light that pierced the heavens and the earth shot up into the sky. Everyone's eyes widened. Gu Xun'er held her breath, her heart pounding like a frightened deer, caught in her throat.

Volumes of Dou Qi secret manuals transformed into mysterious and complex runes, seemingly expounding the most fundamental mysteries of Dou Qi between heaven and earth; a single glance could grant a sense of sudden enlightenment.

ROAR!

ROAR!

A series of roars echoed as the sacrificial animals on the altar broke free from their restraints, their bodies emitting dazzling light. They flew into the sky, their forms visibly and rapidly expanding, their powerful auras permeating the air.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King howled towards the sky, undergoing an even more massive transformation. Six wings grew from its back, each one appearing as if cast from purple crystal—clear, translucent, and blindingly bright. An incredibly strong and terrifying aura emanated from it.

Sect Dou.

Lord Dou.

Sage Dou.

Dou Emperor.

...

In an instant, it had transformed into an existence that surpassed a Dou Emperor. The entire Dou Qi Continent shook, filled with myriad radiant glows and thousands of auspicious colorful streaks.

Ancient Clan, Soul Clan, Yao Clan...

One Hall, Two Towers, Three Sects, Four Square Pavilions...

Countless factions and innumerable powerhouses were aghast. They raised their heads, their figures soaring into the sky, looking towards the northwest.

"How is this possible?" Gu Xun'er's beautiful eyes were wide with disbelief as she watched the dream-like scene unfold before her.

A magical beast at the level of a Dou Emperor became an existence that surpassed a Dou Emperor in the blink of an eye. The ordinary sacrificial animals seemed no weaker than a Dou Emperor.

Am I too narrow-minded? Or is this world too crazy?

However, what shocked her even more was yet to come.

Medusa transformed into a colossal, colorful python, her body radiating a nine-colored glow, continually metamorphosing, her form stretching from heaven to earth. In an instant, her aura surpassed that of a Dou Emperor, even exceeding the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, reaching a terrifying realm beyond Gu Xun'er's imagination. Under her terrifying aura, the Dou Qi Continent itself seemed to feel fear, as if on the verge of shattering.

A world evolved around her. Standing within it, she seemed to exist in another dimension, undergoing even more drastic transformations. Even so, Gu Xun'er could still feel that suffocating, terrifying aura.

Is this the great Nature Yunyun spoke of that one receives for offering a sacrifice? Gu Xun'er looked at Medusa, then at Ya Fei, Nalan Yanran, Little Immortal Doctor, Qing Lin, Yao Ye, and Yao Yue. Each of them was enveloped in divine light, their skin like jade, their eyes sparkling, resembling goddesses from the heavens. Each of them had surpassed the Dou Emperor, emanating an overwhelming divine might that was suffocating.

This is my chance! Thinking of the System within her, Gu Xun'er's beautiful eyes shone with a dazzling divine light.
