During their captivity, they dared not leak the secret too early for fear of meeting a tragic end. Now, with the hearts of the masses united, the time had come to reveal and employ this sorcery. Thus, after obtaining the unanimous consent of the various leaders, Ying Zhaoci imparted the spell to them and instructed them to implement it within their respective clans immediately.

With a flash of light, Xu Yang summoned the Golden-Winged Kunpeng and, without a moment's hesitation, tossed the Primordial Herbal Pellet to it.

Kang Yunxiao slowly stood up, first bowed to Chi Yesheng, then knelt down and pressed his forehead to the ground three times with heavy thuds.

The house was secured, and their household registration was transferred. After the slack farming season, Sister Lou and her family began working for the local production team. At the end of the year, they would receive their share of grain and money directly. Speaking of this, after the autumn harvest last year, although Sister Lou and her husband received their share of money, a full half of their grain allotment had been sent to her in-laws.

Currently, headquarters has issued a recall order. The Fifth and Seventh Elders will soon lead the main force of the Meta-Beasts back into the inner forest, and this war is nearing its end.

Wei Bufu, waiting before the gates of the Ruan residence, grew so weary from waiting that he eventually fell into a deep sleep inside the carriage.

The surroundings remained pitch black, and the millennia seemed endless. More than half a day had passed; had it not been for my curiosity, I would have turned and left long ago.

However, seeing the expression of joy on Lu Lu’s face, as if she had found a kindred spirit, she could not bear to interrupt their conversation.

The dozen or so steamed buns had become rock-hard, and most of their skins were covered in mold. Lou Yanni took them and put them away; she was well-experienced in dealing with such buns—peeling off the moldy skin, the inside was still edible.

"You know this place is called the Yin-Fire Food Realm, right? Do you know what these four characters mean?" A-Fu looked at me and asked.

A gust of mountain wind blew by, and he habitually made the gesture of tucking his hair behind his ears with his fingers.

Unable to reach a negotiation, Grandfather had to try another method, engaging in a magical duel with the black cat. As it turned out, they fought back and forth until it ended in a draw; neither won, and neither lost.

That’s right, Lu Ping’s chess skills were exceptional, deep and unfathomable. Yang Kuang played ten games against him in one sitting, losing every single one of them without a chance to fight back. After each defeat, Yang Kuang would play again, unwilling to accept the result. His schemes could never be deployed on the board and were immediately seen through, leading to a cycle of repeated defeats.

I don’t know how long I slept, but in my stupor, I felt an old woman in black clothes appear beside me. She leaned on a cane and stared at me with fierce eyes, but I could not see her face clearly.

No wonder that four years ago, when I saw she had those feelings for Ai Ting, I felt both anger and hatred, wishing I could shake her awake and point it out to her.

I closed the door, listened as the footsteps faded, turned around, picked up a chair, and walked toward the mad dog in the corner.

"To be honest, I don't think it's feasible. This isn't a matter of confidence or lack thereof. Let’s not talk so far ahead; let’s focus on the present." Cui Yunyi knew this was not the time to rush into the future. With Wang Zhaorong’s temperament, he would not rest until the aristocratic faction was defeated, and it would be bad if they started arguing at such a critical juncture.

"Grandfather, I have something to tell you." After Grandfather sat down on the sofa, I hurriedly recounted what had happened to Teacher Zhang.

Many customers who had bet six or nine times their stake felt that the money spent on this cup was well worth it, as it would bring them exponential returns. If their luck were truly good, it could even change their lives instantly.

Having his first employee, Wang Jie felt it was a cause for celebration during the time when his bar was "as quiet as a graveyard." He discovered that he had a deep connection with Peter; the first drink sold in the bar was to Peter, and now the first employee was also Peter.

A dark shadow engulfed him, and a colossal force suddenly descended, heavy as a mountain, causing him to recall a past he could not bear to look back upon.

Zheng Peng remained calm, while Wang Jinye, Li Wenping, and Sun Yaozhou looked ashen, all of them dejected as if they had been defeated.

This wasn't because he had no social obligations or interpersonal connections, but rather Liu Zhengshi’s persistent attitude toward life. He always believed that the time a person can spend with their loved ones is actually very short, so one should do their best to stay by their family’s side.

However, Ren Zhong searched with his eyes twice but could not see Yan Yan’s figure. He had no choice but to take out his phone and dial her number.

Following this announcement, while other things remained largely unaffected, major automobile manufacturers began launching advertisements, offering significant discounts on their various new energy vehicles, with price cuts of at least tens of thousands.

He Yong opened his computer and, seeing the forum filled with praise, could not help but think of the popularity of "Journey to the West" back on Earth.

The most crucial point was that under the refinement of Wang Yingying’s Heavenly Demon Soul-Control Art, Gu Bo was completely controlled by her and had ascended to the Divine Realm.

Merchants and travelers departing from Tidal City early in the morning generally arrived at Silver Lake City around this time. They did not shout; they simply walked into the city quietly, followed the road signs, and eventually found a very famous lodging street in Silver Lake City.

They had never been able to figure out where He Yong’s family was, or why they had not been discovered for thousands of years. They had sent many people over the past few months to search for clues in wilderness areas, deserts, and other forbidden zones, but the results disappointed them—they found nothing.

Originally, he and Song Raotai had each occupied a row on the minibus. At this moment, he gave up his window seat to Xu Qingyin and sat in the aisle seat himself.

Behind him, many high-ranking members of Ouroboros were also terrified, watching as spectral figures emerged from around them. Their faces were blank, and only in the eyes that looked toward them was there a hint of emotion—unfortunately, it was nothing but extreme hatred and a bloodthirsty craving.

Further away lay a gargantuan black corpse. The massive body of the evil beast Lax floated silently in the void. Due to the incredibly robust constitution of the Star Beast, even after being torn by the super wormhole, Lax’s body remained relatively intact.
