The King of Black Fog

It's still a snowy day, the snowflakes falling like cotton, bringing a chill as they land on the face.

Li Qianxia took a deep breath of the rich spirits, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Did you win the tournament?" Li Huoya flew over to where she was staying.

Li Changzhou transmitted the task memory to her, leaving her to silently recall it.

"Sister Yao," Li Qianxia said to the Turquoise Pool, "do you have the confidence to elevate the [Heavenly Will·Mechanical Sovereign] to the Third Stage? Otherwise, you can't become a Saint."

The Turquoise Pool glanced at Yang Qinglan before answering, "Is it more difficult than Qing Lan?"

No one said anything more.

The Turquoise Pool placed the Heavenly Will Ball at her forehead, the rings forming the Heavenly Will Ball disintegrating like a group of transparent swimming dragons entering her Mud Palace.

Heavenly Will is inherently neither high nor low, and there's no distinction in the fusion process. Soon, the Turquoise Pool was enveloped in the Stone Embryo.

Meanwhile, above the Honey World, countless gears appeared, exquisite beyond measure.

Thunderous roar!

One gear after another assembled together, transforming into a steel giant seated on a throne, with thirty-six beads connected like a spine at the center of the giant's back, resembling a power furnace.

Simply looking at this scene in front of them, countless amounts of knowledge flowed into the minds of those watching.

Setting aside various mechanical knowledge, these thirty-six beads represent the levels of the machinery.

Mortal Rank nine beads, Spirit Rank nine beads, Heaven Rank nine beads, Holy Rank nine beads.

The Primordial Divine Tree emerged behind Li Changzhou, a Dao Flower blossomed, and a set of gears appeared.

Crack~

The Stone Embryo developed cracks, and Li Changzhou teleported away.

Outside, Li Changzhou withdrew the soundproof array, and everyone had already decided whether to stay or leave.

The Knight chose to quit.

Yafeiluna, Bi, the Witch, the Phoenix, the young Martial Saint, Indra, Venus, the Witch, the Supreme True Demon, the Spirit Buddha continued.

"Bi, you should go back too," Li Changzhou said.

"Why!" Bi was discontented, wanting to stay.

"Didn't you come to the Heavenly Road to attain a Heavenly Position, with endless longevity? Your Heavenly Will hasn't been refined, the risks of staying are too high."

"No." Recalling her experiences along the way, Bi firmly said, "I want to stay, I want to become stronger!"

"The Heavenly Position is already very strong, how many Saints are there in the world?"

"I just won't!"

Li Changzhou smiled, "Fine, suit yourself. Come, give me the Heavenly Will Ball you obtained, and I'll exchange something good with you."

"Are you trying to trick me again? I'm no longer the me from Prague." Bi handed the Heavenly Will Ball to Li Changzhou.

She indeed was no longer the her from Prague, and their relationship was no longer the relationship from Prague.

The Heavenly Will Bi obtained was named [Heavenly Will·Mirror Body], able to summon a clone from any object that reflects oneself, and the true self could also enter the mirror.

Li Changzhou took out an 'Eternal Sand World Fruit' and tossed Bi into the Honey World.

"What about the Fairies?" he looked towards the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess showed an apologetic expression, "Your Majesty, we're all preparing to withdraw."

These Fairies lived long lives and lost their drive, overly intimidated by the Saints. Reaching the Heavenly Immortal was already their imaginable limit.

"No matter." Li Changzhou smiled, "The matters of the Blessed Heavenly Girl, I'll remember, and it still counts."

Only Chang'e remained, perhaps because of the initial lending of [Heavenly Will·Origin Sever] to her, or simply due to Yang Qinglan's presence.

Li Changzhou glanced at the stele, with another day until the next round, then instructed those staying to rest as he returned to the Honey World.

Bi had not yet eaten the 'Eternal Sand World Fruit' and was chatting with Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, Li Huoya, and the Turquoise Pool now dressed.

"What are you talking about?" Li Changzhou asked as he walked over.

"Brother, Qing Lan plans to have the child!"

Li Changzhou paused his steps, his eyes turning towards Yang Qinglan.

"It's inconvenient and unsafe during the competition," Yang Qinglan explained.

Li Changzhou nodded, "...That works."

"I'm going to have a brother or sister," Li Huoya crossed her arms in front of her chest, exquisitely adorable, with flaming red hair striking against the snow.

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan both glanced at her, saying no more.

Then, Yang Qinglan sat cross-legged, extracting two embryos from her body, placing them into a small Jade Cauldron.

[Bodhisattva!]

Guanyin disappeared.

Li Changzhou began to merge with [Heavenly Will·Mirror Body].

The spirits of weather surged, converging into gods, demons, monsters, ghosts, humans, dragons, phoenixes, and various saintly phenomena.

The embryos absorbed the spirits rapidly growing, turning humanoid in an instant.

A boy and a girl, about palm-sized, slowly emerged from the small Jade Cauldron.

Behind the infants, two small trees radiating clear light were absorbing all the essence.

All the Flat Peaches on the Flat Peach Tree vaporized, turning into mist that flew over, as did the spirit vegetables in the field ridges and the Divine Fruits in the orchard.

Even the fertility in the soil was disappearing, and the grasslands started to wither.

"This is no good!" Li Qianxia hurriedly used "Antimatter-Antihydrogen," with six Antihydrogen Balls melting like iceballs, turning into spirits to be absorbed.

Simultaneously, she operated the "Evaporator," releasing the vast energy of the 'Eternal Sand World Fruit' inside.

This only then prevented the wilting of the Honey World.

BOOM!

The Heavenly Tribulation descended.

Thunderous lightning as thick as mountains enveloped the Honey World, and they seemed to be at the center of a small sphere filled with thunder.

Next came the ancient well that crushed everything.

As the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, the baby boy began to cry loudly, and the baby girl twisted her body in discomfort, the two Primordial Seedlings frantically absorbed spirits, wanting to appear in this world.

Crack, the Stone Embryo cracked open.

Except for Yang Qinglan, everyone instinctively glanced over.

"..." Li Qianxia shielded her eyes with her hand.
