Fall: Rebirth

The courtyard of the Temple of Death was peaceful and tranquil.

Qingli was still lying quietly on the black iron tree, looking up at the starry sky leisurely. She was wearing a long dress as white as snow, which made her particularly eye-catching under the black curtain.

The breeze blew past, lifting her silky hair and gently brushing across her stunning face, adding a touch of charm.

Ziying, as usual, sat leisurely at the stone table under the iron tree, slowly savoring the fragrant tea.

"Takizawa is back, why hasn't the Grim Reaper come back for so long?" Ziying asked puzzledly, looking at Qingli who was lying on the iron tree.

"Maybe Master has another important task to tell me." Qingli kept looking up at the starry sky and responded to Ziying's words without turning her head. Her voice was as clear as a spring and sounded like nature.

"Is this never going to end?" Ziying couldn't help but complain.

"Speak less and be careful with your words." Qingli raised the corners of his lips and reminded lightly.

At this time, Zi Yu and Takizawa were leaning on both sides of the main hall's gate, with their arms folded across their chests, silent, and looking at the people in the yard from time to time.

Takizawa frowned slightly and whispered softly: "Why hasn't the God come back for so long?"

Zi Yu glanced at Long Ze and said calmly, "How long have you been back and you're already impatient? I often don't see the God for several days, and I didn't say anything."

Ling Han, Chu Heng, and Xi'er sat around another stone table, studying Yan Luo's "Secret Records of Spiritual Herbs" with concentrated expressions.

They studied attentively the various shadows of flowers and plants that appeared on the book, sometimes marveling at them, sometimes discussing something together.

Chu Heng reached out and gently stroked the shadows on the book, feeling the mysterious power contained in them. His eyes were focused and serious, as if he was communicating with these shadows.

Just as Ye You stepped into the gate of the Temple of Death, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far away.

It turned out that Yuan Gu had been waiting outside the door for a long time, like a silent sculpture. When he saw Ye You coming back, a look of joy appeared on his face, like a flower quietly blooming in the middle of the night.

"Why are you here again?" Ye You asked calmly without any expression on his face.

"I heard from Zi Yu that you went to the Nether Forest. I was a little worried about you." Yuangu's voice was very soft, as if afraid to disturb the tranquility of the night, like a gentle breeze.

"I'm fine." Ye You's tone was a little cold, like the biting cold wind in the snow and ice, and then he walked towards the yard without looking back.

"Wait for me..." Yuangu hurriedly followed Yeyou's pace. His figure was like a kite pulled by Yeyou, swaying in the night sky.

When Ye You's figure appeared in the yard, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Takizawa and Ziyu, who were originally leaning against the sides of the hall door with their arms folded, when they saw Ye You's figure, they consciously went forward like iron filings attracted by a magnet.

They shouted in unison: "God."

However, Ye You did not stop, but continued to walk towards the hall.

At the same time, Chu Heng caught a glimpse of Ye You's figure. He immediately turned to Ling Han and said, "Lord Ye You is back."

Ling Han and Xi'er couldn't help but follow Chu Heng's gaze, and saw Ye You and Yuan Gu walking towards the main hall one after the other.

"Why is the ancient god here too?" Hill asked in confusion.

As soon as Ling Han saw Ye You's figure, joy suddenly surged in his heart. He walked over quickly, like a burning meteor, across the dark night sky.

"Master, you're back?" Ling Han's voice was full of anticipation, his eyes sparkling.

Ye You heard the voice, stopped, and responded lightly: "Yeah."

Her tone was as calm as a pool of still water, making it hard to tell what she was feeling at the moment.

At this moment, a powerful divine force suddenly attacked, as fierce as a violent storm. It swept towards Ye You with endless pressure.

Ye You's eyes turned cold, and she gently raised her hand, moving gracefully and quickly, accurately blocking the force. The force was like a ferocious beast, but Ye You easily resolved it without causing any impact.

When she saw clearly that it was a wine bottle floating in the air, a hint of surprise flashed in Ye You's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. Her eyes were like the calm surface of a lake, peaceful and deep.

Ye You cast her eyes towards Qingli on the iron tree. Her eyes were like a cold wind, like a sharp sword, piercing Qingli mercilessly. Then she put her hand back behind her back. Her movements were concise and powerful, revealing a kind of majesty and confidence.

Yuan Gu took the slowly falling bottle very casually, his movements were natural and smooth, as if this was a very common thing. He did not show any surprise or confusion, but looked at Ye You calmly.

At this time, Qingli slowly disappeared from the tree, and the next moment he was sitting next to Ziying.

Ye You's expression did not change at all, she just sighed lightly and walked towards the stone table. Her steps were firm and powerful, and each step seemed particularly steady.

She is tall and slender, and her black robe flutters in the wind, giving people a mysterious and noble feeling.

Yuan Gu followed Ye You's steps, his expression relaxed and casual, his eyes revealing a kind of trust.

"It seems that what Lord Zi Yu said is right. The most lively place is still your Death Temple." Chu Heng came to Ling Han at this time, crossed his arms and looked at the four gods sitting at the stone table in front of him, and said to Ling Han.

"It's very strange, why do so many people like to run here?" Xier also put a hand on Ling Han's shoulder and whispered. There was a kind of confusion in his eyes.

Ling Han glanced at Chu Heng on his left, then glanced at Hill on his right, and said jokingly: "Now I have to ask you, why do you all like to run to our Temple of the Death?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Hearing this, Xi Er and Chu Heng couldn't help but look at Ling Han, and they punched Ling Han at the same time, then ran away.

"Stop right there..." Ling Han covered the place where he was hit and shouted at the two men. There was anger in his voice, as if he was dissatisfied with the behavior of Xi'er and Chu Heng.

Hearing the noise of Ling Han and the others fighting, the four people sitting by the stone table couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

The corners of Ye You's mouth also slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"These guys." Qingli looked at the three people chasing not far away and couldn't help shaking his head, with a hint of pampering on his face.

"Come, try my newly brewed wine!" Ziying poured wine for everyone with a happy face, his voice full of pride as he spoke.

Yuangu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was mellow and sweet, and he couldn't help but smile.

"It tastes good." He couldn't help but praise.

"I used top-quality spiritual materials to brew this." Ziying smiled proudly.

At this time, Ye You suddenly spoke coldly: "I have already said this before. If anyone drinks and makes mistakes again in the future, don't blame me for being merciless with the Whip of Responsibility."

Ye You's cold words were like a piercing cold wind, shocking everyone's heart. They knew that Ye You could do what he said, and if someone really delayed things because of drinking, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, Ziying looked at Yeyou, with a barely perceptible light in her eyes. She smiled gently and said calmly, "Don't worry, I have learned my lesson and will not make the same mistake again. The wine I brew this time will not have such a strong aftereffect."

Ye You glanced at Ziying indifferently, as if she didn't believe what she said.

"You just went to the Nether Forest. What happened afterwards?" Qingli looked at Yeyou and asked lightly.

"It's ruined." Ye You said in a flat tone, then picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it.

"Are the Fire God's disciples going to come back?" When Ziying heard the news, a hint of worry appeared on his face. He looked at Ye You seriously and asked.

"I'll be back tomorrow." Ye You put down the wine glass in his hand and answered calmly.

"Isn't your disciple coming back too?" Yuangu chuckled, glanced at Ziying and said jokingly.

"That's right!" Ziying sighed helplessly, "The injuries Yi Chun received in the Nether Forest last time were really serious, so I suggested to the Ancestral God that she come back. Who would have thought that now the Nether Forest is destroyed, and the Fire God's disciples are also coming back. Huanyang has always been at odds with Yi Chun, and now that he is coming back, I'm afraid Yi Chun will be bullied by him again."

"It's because you and the God of Fire are not on good terms. Otherwise, how could this happen?" Yuangu raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of a smile, and said bluntly.

"You can't say that. I just can't stand the arrogance of the God of Fire." Ziying frowned slightly and retorted.

"Okay, now he has learned his lesson. The power of the Whip of Responsibility is extremely huge. The God of Fire will have to lie down for ten days or half a month and he probably won't be able to go out. When his disciples come back, they probably won't dare to bully your disciple again." Yuangu said calmly.

"This time he really has been taught a good lesson, otherwise he would really be lawless." Ziying's face was suddenly filled with an unconcealable smile, like a blooming flower.

Ye You glanced at Zi Ying coldly, his eyes were like a deep pool, emitting a hint of coldness, and he said lightly: "Don't be happy too soon, if I see you fighting again in the future, I will punish you both."

"Don't you see that it's always him who causes trouble?" Ziying quickly put away his smile and responded seriously.

Ye You picked up the wine glass and looked into the distance thoughtfully. His eyes were as deep as the night, like a bottomless lake. He said, "Now the demons are ready to make a move. If they start another internal conflict, I don't want to hear any more explanations."

Yuan Gu nodded slightly, like a steady mountain, to express his agreement: "The matter of the demon clan cannot be taken lightly, so I have decided to go to the Hongmeng Realm of Father God to practice and cultivate the power of chaos as soon as possible."

"So sudden?" Ziying widened her eyes and looked at Yuangu in shock. She obviously didn't expect the news to be so urgent.

Yuan Gu's face was very serious. He nodded helplessly and explained, "The power of the Demon God is too strong. Although the Father God has strengthened the seal, the power that escaped before is still wreaking havoc everywhere. This time in the Land of Exile is a good example. Therefore, we can't delay any longer."

Hearing this, Ziying nodded slightly, expressing her understanding and agreement. She knew that facing such a powerful enemy as the Demon God, time was running out, and any delay could bring greater disaster.

Qingli gently stroked the wine glass in his hand, a faint smile on his lips, and said softly: "This time, Jiawu can be said to have made a great contribution. If she hadn't deliberately let the guard find her, I'm afraid she would have suffered more losses."

Ziying nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "That being said, I really can't understand her crazy look."

"Crazy?" Ye You frowned slightly, a puzzled look on his face.

"You didn't see that her arrogance even angered the ancestor god." Ziying responded with a gossipy look, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a hint of teasing.

Ye You did not answer, but frowned slightly. His expression became solemn, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Yuan Gu noticed that Ye You was not in the right mood, so he asked cautiously, "Aren't you going to go see her?"

Ye You's voice was as cold as ice, and he asked, "Why should I go to see her?"

Ye You's cold attitude made Yuan Gu at a loss for words for a moment. At this moment, he looked at Ye You with a hint of affection in his eyes.

Seeing that Yuan Gu was a little embarrassed, Qing Li quickly stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Jia Wu is so smart. If she wanted to escape, she could do it without anyone noticing. But now, she deliberately let everyone know that she ran away. This shows that she didn't really want to escape, but wanted to use this to alert the God Realm. Now that the Demon God's plan has failed, he will definitely not let Jia Wu go easily."

After hearing this, Ye You was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Since she dared to do this, she must have already made a plan to deal with it."

Qingli nodded in agreement and continued, "Given Jiawu's personality, she will definitely not sit still and wait for death. But the demon god's plan failed this time, so he will definitely be angry and retaliate against Jiawu."

Ziying, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown after hearing this and said worriedly, "Won't Jiawu be in great danger?"

Yuan Gu shook his head and said, "The Demon God is currently sealed, Jia Wu is safe for the time being, but if he is allowed to escape, not only Jia Wu will be in danger, but the entire God Realm will also be in danger."

Ye You was silent for a moment, then said, "No matter what, protecting the Divine Realm is everyone's responsibility and we must not take it lightly."

Qingli nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we can't take it lightly."

Yuan Gu added: "Tomorrow I will go to the Hongmeng Realm to practice and strive to refine the power of chaos as soon as possible. The God Realm will be handed over to you."

After saying that, Yuan Gu raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at everyone.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine together with Yuangu.
