"'Damp Bone Forest'..."

Inside Mojito Mansion.

Zhong Shenxiu responded to Kerry's prayer while also perusing the intelligence he had obtained, "Does this relic that even the old gods vie for possess the characteristic of 'knowing is tainting'?"

"This level of nature feels somewhat similar to that of a True God... A derivative of the unique divine? Otherwise, it's hard to explain why two old gods would fight over it..."

"However, if that's truly the case, why haven't the current lords of the gates and other deities taken it away? Why leave it in the Clement Kingdom as a sort of foundation?"

"Or could it be that 'unique divinity' also varies? Even among True Gods, there are different ranks... The Damp Bone Forest is useful to the old gods but of little use to the new gods of today?"

"Or perhaps... systems and paths differ, unable to accommodate this 'unique divinity?' "

In his mind, one conjecture after another surfaced. He thought of Time's Ouroboros targeting neither the old gods nor the new, but simply aiming for the power over corruption and black blood, and he had a moment of realization.

Simultaneously, he thought of even more.

"Putting aside the ill-fitting Ancient Immortal Way of the Taishang Heaven for now, the newly improved methods in the Seven Luminaries Heaven require the zombie immortals to obtain a piece of 'unique divinity' if they wish to progress further..."

"Given that the highest achievement in the Second Yan Han Empire is currently zombie immortals, those zombie immortals haven't found the 'unique divinity', and now, with the Black Fog dissipating and a convergence of east and west, their chance has come..."

"For the lofty zombie immortals, the changes and transitions of dynasties might not be all that important, but the opportunity for ascension is definitely a huge temptation... If they knew about the existence of items related to 'unique divinity' in Kaleston, they would certainly make a move!"

"To such an extraordinary world, the victory or defeat of mundane wars means little... The real extraordinary battle is about to begin, and the battlefield... could very likely be Kaleston?"

"If it hadn't been for my incarnation going to Da Mo to resurrect and cross tribulations in that world and finding the secret among the divine of the True Gods, I might not have been able to deduce this layer..."

After understanding everything, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly felt a sense of danger.

It was a premonition, and previously, he hadn't noticed it at all.

Such a situation indicates that the impending danger is far beyond the level of the Primordial Spirit! Only then could it go unnoticed by ordinary Primordial Spirit Practitioners.

"Chaos is a ladder, and also my opportunity."

As he was sitting cross-legged, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly manifested two mysterious and profound auras.

This indicated that his cultivation above the Primordial Spirit's tribulation had progressed further, and he had become a Second Tribulation Primordial Spirit!

'Having reincarnated in that world and narrowly survived a few life and death situations, I've barely passed the second tribulation... I fear the dangers I encounter in my travels there will become less and less, and after at most another life and death tribulation, that world will only allow me to complete three tribulations...'

'I'm still one tribulation short; could it be that I need to split off another incarnation to seek out another world to pass it?'

Just then, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly felt an urge, "My incarnation in that world has begun to undergo the third tribulation... and signs of my Primordial Spirit's Fourth Tribulation are also being triggered, ready to erupt directly upon my true form?"

"Ah, such tribulations of cultivation must indeed be personally endured by the main body to be considered complete."

Faced with the looming tribulation, Zhong Shenxiu remained calm.

After all, he possessed the Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture, the premier secret technique of the Dao for crossing tribulations. Moreover, he had the Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power as his trump card, which made him actually look forward to the forthcoming tribulation.

'I hope it's a tribulation of slaughter, to be cut down with a sword most cleanly... If it's a tribulation of emotions or of the Dao Heart, that would be cumbersome, dragging out tiresomely, and extremely troublesome...'

He sighed to himself, then suddenly his expression changed, and he stood up and stretched beside the window.

A knocking sound thudded at the door.

"Come in!"

Zhong Shenxiu ordered, and soon saw Johan walk in, "Lady Anna has come to visit."

"Prepare a pot of black tea and invite her in, then you don't need to stay by the side."

Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand indifferently.

Now, most of the servants in his mansion had been dismissed, and many tasks needed to be personally taken care of by Johan.

The personal manservant bowed and retreated. Before long, Zhu Qingliu with her Western face floated in.

The door closed tightly, but Zhu Qingliu still did not feel reassured and affixed several talismans onto it, then her expression turned solemn, "I have received transfer orders, I must leave this place..."

As she spoke these words, and thought of the countless life and death moments she had endured, and the bloodshed of numerous colleagues, even Zhu Qingliu's clear Dao Heart couldn't help but be slightly disturbed.

"Congratulations, with the merits you have earned this time, you will surely be promoted to a higher position once you return..."

Zhong Shenxiu, still disguised as Li Wei Mojito, a hidden benefactor, said with a smile.

"I did not come here for that..."

Zhu Qingliu let out a bitter smile and then, as if she had made some decision, "We have had a pleasant cooperation, and before I leave, I have a piece of advice for you, this place has become extremely dangerous, it would be wise to leave quickly!"

"Thank you for the warning, but you and I are ultimately different, oh, right, there's one more thing..."

Zhong Shenxiu's lips curled up slightly, "Your official identity is still my mistress, so we need to stage a drama to let this identity exit in a plausible manner..."

A trace of blush suddenly appeared on Zhu Qingliu's cheeks.

...

A dozen minutes later.

Johan heard loud arguing and the sound of an antique vase smashing on the floor.

This made him approach the study with some concern.

'Hmm, Mr. Li Wei's financial situation has been very bad recently, is he preparing to break up with his lover?'

'Lady Anna is so pitiful...'

'No, the soon-to-be-bankrupt Mr. Li Wei is even more pitiful, all because of this damn war.'

'The security in the neighborhood has also been getting worse, as repayment for previous kindness, hmm, as an extraordinary person, I will protect Mr. Li Wei...'

Just as Johan heard some faint sounds and began to daydream.

Bang!

The door of the study was suddenly opened, and Lady Anna, covering her face, left with quiet sobs.

Johan sighed inwardly, entered the study, and began to clean up the broken vase on the floor.

"Tell my housekeeper, there's no need to renew the lease on that apartment, and the gold pounds don't need to be sent there anymore each month, this will save us a considerable amount of expenses..."

Zhong Shenxiu's calm voice came through.

"I'll do that right away..."

Johan bowed and left the room, his heart sighing even more, 'Could it be that Lady Anna took the initiative to dump Mr. Li Wei? This... Mr. Li Wei is even more pitiful now!'

According to the customs of Kaleston, in such cases, if the man initiated the breakup, he had to pay a substantial sum as compensation.

Now that the situation was reversed, Johan's gaze toward Mr. Li Wei couldn't help but carry a hint of pity.
