The King of Black Fog

According to logic, it should be Li Changzhou who pays.

Li Changzhou said nothing, just handed the Turquoise Pool his last 13 coins.

The Turquoise Pool chuckled, cursing, "Pauper~!"

Then helped him make up the remaining 53 coins.

Yang Qinglan was holding Ruyi, smiling tenderly at Li Changzhou.

"That—"

"He's starting to find excuses! He's looking for a pretext!" Li Qianxia explained.

"..." Li Changzhou glanced at her, "We are a team. If something happens to you and Qian Xia, she has no reason to stay out of it. If something happens to her, we too can't turn a blind eye. That's my thought."

"I didn't say anything." Yang Qinglan laughed lightly.

Terrifying.

Exactly the kind of terrifying!

Suddenly, a broadcast resonated in the ship, announcing that the exchange time had concluded. Players who wished to stay on board should use a ticket.

Li Changzhou and his companions did not use it. They directly utilized "Teleportation" to arrive at a certain deserted star on the Divine Will Great Wall.

"Just in case, let's use 'Dawn Mirror' to save first," Li Changzhou suggested.

Every time a mission ends, it's bound to be Earth's dusk, and 'Dawn Mirror' can be used at this time.

Yang Qinglan took out a mirror and aimed it at Si.

"'Dawn Mirror' can't restore sanity. If your mind is polluted by an 'Ancient God', 'Dawn Mirror' won't save you either," she explained to Si.

"I still have the 'Flame Butterfly' here, no need to worry about 'ability' deficiency." The Flame Butterfly fluttered its flames, flying from Li Qianxia's shoulder to Si.

"Thank you." Si remained expressionless.

Everyone looked at Si from afar.

Si closed her eyes, beginning to awaken the Ancient God.

With no disturbances, a diamond-shaped eye opened directly in the void. No one noticed its emergence, as if it had always been there.

The diamond-shaped eye fixed on Si, and golden light strands emanated from Si's brow, which was her Divine Will.

The second-rank Divine Will was exceedingly vast and powerful. Strand by strand, it painted the sky like golden auroras, turning the deserted star into a golden sphere.

These golden auroras, ribbon-like, floated toward the diamond eye. Si's Divine Will was being plundered by the Ancient God.

At this moment, Si suddenly opened her eyes, locking gazes with the diamond eye.

A pair of alabaster arms extended from the void behind the diamond eye, gently covering the diamond eye.

The hands vanished into the diamond eye as if siphoned, and for a fleeting moment, everyone perceived that the diamond eye was more like a diamond-shaped space door.

By the time they came to their senses, the 'Great Power - Please Close Your Eyes' valued at 66 coins vanished forever.

The sound of fire igniting in the vacuum, the Flame Butterfly burned with the legendary chaos as its fuel, restoring all of Si's 'ability'.

She raised her hand, producing several 'Extreme Cold Ice Sword' strikes.

The crescent-shaped sword qi sliced through the air but was again absorbed by the diamond eye.

Li Qianxia clenched her fists, everyone stared unblinkingly, all that was left was the 'Hand of Destruction'!

Si took a deep breath, beginning to tremble in fear.

The 'Hand of Destruction' needed contact, so close to the target, if ineffective, her body would also be taken by the diamond eye!

But soon, her expression turned resolute once again.

"I glide slowly over the dark Abyss on the colder side of the Yellow Fish Star orbit~"

"Even so~"

"In the endless slow rotation, I occasionally reflect a glimmer of starlight~"

A melodious song drifted with the golden strands of Divine Will.

This personally crafted song held exceptionally special meaning to her.

Boom!

A massive pit exploded beneath her feet on the deserted star. Divine·Valent rushed toward the all-devouring diamond eye.

A pair of arms grew from under her armpits, another pair from her back—

Yang Qinglan gripped the 'Dawn Mirror' tightly, Li Changzhou was ready to leap at any moment, 'Superpower Prohibition' poised to release.

In the vacuum, all held their breath, though there was no air for them to breathe.

As she drew nearer to the diamond eye, Divine·Valent felt increasingly small. Upon reaching it, there was no eye, only a towering diamond-shaped space door!

It was as if she were swept into a vortex as vast as a planet. The strength of a second-rank Divine Will warrior was as insignificant as a mosquito.

Swish! Swish!

Appearing beside her were two identical Divine·Valents, each with six arms.

Great Power - Clone, a pure version, was her reward for this mission!

The clones possessed all the energy of her original self. Their realism was such that they could even beget life and pursue cultivation, far surpassing any third-rate clone technique.

Three Divine·Valents held hands, transforming from an insignificant mosquito into a golden seagull.

The golden seagull repeatedly submerged in the vortex and struggled to lift its head, letting out a proud and unwilling roar, vowing to compete with the Ancient God.

Boom!

The right wing of the golden seagull was shredded, with threads of golden energy swallowed like blood by the vortex.

Even so—

"Raising my head to admire the starry sky~"

"They bloom and sparkle ceaselessly for me~"

"I want to turn the universe inside out!!"

The one-winged golden seagull did not abandon, as if the space vortex was also moved by her, suddenly rushing out of the vortex, using the vortex's force to charge at the diamond-shaped space door.

Bam!

In the process, the left wing was also shattered, leaving only the body, which soon followed into the space door.

Li Changzhou was almost about to rush up!

Suddenly, a pair of hands emerged struggling from the space door, belonging to Divine·Valent herself, grasping the diamond-shaped space door!

Soon after, the other two pairs of hands reached for the space door.

With a tremendous rumbling.....

The once overwhelming space turmoil, like a waterfall during drought, gradually diminished until it disappeared entirely!

The world returned to silence once more.
