At this point, Si Tutu was completely dumbfounded, her eyes widened in shock, yet she could see nothing. Then, under the terrifying pressure that could possibly shatter her at any moment, she managed to ask, "Who...who are you? What... is your world?"

"You've taken so many of my kindred and you don't even know who I am?" The cold voice simmered with intense rage.

Crack!

Si Tutu could feel the sound of her bones breaking within her body!

This was her body of the Five Elements Gold, a top-notch Daoist body. However, facing such immense pressure at this moment, she couldn't resist at all.

"You... you... are you the spirit of the Five Elements Gold?" Si Tutu was utterly shocked, her face filled with intense fear. She had harvested a large amount of the Five Elements Gold previously on the Golden Mountain, without provoking the existence of this spirit. Unexpectedly, just as she was contemplating on how to scheme against Chu Mo, she summoned it!

At this point, Si Tutu regretted her actions greatly. If she had known this would happen, she would have never chosen to attack Chu Mo to begin with.

Now, she was in a dilemma.

She had a formidable adversary waiting outside, and had managed to invoke a terrifying entity.

The Spirit of the Five Elements Gold... a top-tier spirit item—why was it not helping her, instead, aiding Chu Mo?

Could this be Chu Mo, the same Chu Mo from the recent uproar in the "Human Layer incident" on the Information Board? It was rumored that he had a deep connection with the Realm Spirit of the illusory god realm!

As the overseer of the rules of the Illusion God Realm, even the Realm Spirit was making exceptions for him!

If it's not for this reason, then why would the sovereign of the Five Elements Gold in the Illusion God Realm help him suppress her?

Si Tutu was a very intelligent young woman, her brilliance surpassed many. Even when her life was under severe threat, she still managed to dedicate some of her mental strength to analyze the situation.

"Enough talk, answer me!" The cold voice was tinged with impatience, the pressure in the air growing heavier, as if there was an enormous mountain pressing down, and it could become even heavier at any time.

"I... I... I won't!" Blood gushed from Si Tutu's nose, ears, and corners of her mouth. Her eyes turned bright red, and it seemed as if she was about to be crushed into pieces. Despite this, she gritted her teeth and refused to comply.

"Then you deserve to die!" The voice of the Spirit of the Five Elements Gold was full of icy disdain.

The pressure in the air suddenly escalated by several times.

Creak!

Crack!

Si Tutu's bones shattered instantly, blood began to stream from her eyes, her consciousness became blurry. But still, she clung on tightly, refusing to submit!

She was a seemingly quirky, crafty, yet incredibly stubborn young woman!

There were simply things that no one could force her to do against her will!

Si Tutu's consciousness started to fade, various images seem to float in front of her.

She mumbled to herself, "Mom... Dad... I'm sorry... as your daughter, I've failed... I can't... I can't fulfill... my filial duties... anymore."

"Gold!" Chu Mo shouted from the outside,"Let it go!"

Boom!

A dull sound echoed in the narrow space.

All of the pressure vanished in an instant.

Si Tutu's body fell limp, and she sank into unconsciousness.

"Who knew this young girl could be so stubborn," Gold appeared on Chu Mo's shoulder, grinning as it said this. Si Tutu's reaction took it by surprise, yet it admired her greatly. Looking at Chu Mo, Gold said, "Aren't you humans known for valuing your lives above all else? Oh… sorry, Gold was too blunt. I should say, don't you humans know how to compromise? Isn't there a saying among your kind? That a wise man knows when to back down? Or another that says revenge is a dish best served cold, even if it takes ten years?"

Chu Mo glanced at the cheeky Gold, "There are indeed some situations where one can compromise, be smart, and protect one's life. However, there are times when, even in the face of death, one can't compromise. Especially when it concerns freedom."

"Isn't that just foolish?" Gold asked, "What is more important than life?"

"That's because you're not human." Chu Mo replied indifferently.

"Now what?" Gold seemed a bit gloomy and helpless.

"What do you mean, 'now what'? We're leaving!" Chu Mo looked at Gold, "Didn't you say we can leave the Five Elements Gold Realm from any location? That powerful being is still waiting at the entrance; do you plan on just handing ourselves over to them?"

"Gold meant, what about this little girl?" Gold glared at Chu Mo, "Are we just going to leave her here?"

"Did you take a liking to her?" Chu Mo gave Gold a puzzled look.

Despite admiring Si Tutu's uncompromising attitude, Chu Mo genuinely never considered keeping such a person who could plot against him at any moment by his side. It would be too risky.

"Hmm, Gold indeed admires her a bit," Gold admitted without reservation.

"Can't we just leave her behind?" Chu Mo asked with a mild headache.

Gold gave Chu Mo a disapproving look, "Gold can already sense the strong fluctuation at the entrance. That person is still waiting there. If we don't take her with us, unless she stays here until that person leaves, the moment she steps out, she's a goner."

After a moment of silence, Chu Mo nodded, "Alright, you can bring her out. But once we are safe outside, let her go."

From Chu Mo's perspective, Si Tutu did not want to follow anyone anyway. Since Gold insisted on helping her, he might as well do it just this once.

"Alright, when the time comes, if she wants to leave, we'll let her leave!" Gold smirked confidently. It was convinced that when the time came, as long as it showed any willingness to help her, she would surely stay with them!

No one understood better than Gold, what it would take to evolve from a top-tier Daoist body like the Five Elements Gold Body to a superior Daoist body type like the Five Elements Gold Spirit Body.

While a superior Daoist body couldn't compare to an ancestral realm body, it was undoubtedly a level higher than a top-tier Daoist body!

Gold didn't believe that Si Tutu could resist such temptation.

Even if she was not afraid of death, she would surely desire to become stronger.

Afterwards, the warship took to the air, heading to the edge of the Five Elements Gold Realm. It was flying in the direction of the entrance to the Five Elements Gold Realm.

"Gold, are you sure about this?" Chu Mo appeared detached, looking at Gold.

"What?" Gold rolled its eyes.

"This route, isn't it directed to the entrance?" Chu Mo frowned slightly, looking at Gold, "Plus, I heard that the passages connecting the small world and the big world, there's only one. Are you certain we can avoid that formidable being and exit from another place?"

Gold glanced at Chu Mo, "You don't trust Gold?"

"It's not about trust or distrust; this matter concerns our lives, careless blunders are not allowed." Chu Mo looked at Gold, and said lightly, "If it's impossible, we may as well stay here for some time. After all, you can sense that person's aura; we can leave only after they're gone."

"Look at you, so faint-hearted. Then look at Miss Si Tutu... tsk tsk!" Gold scoffed disdainfully.

A muffled groan came from behind, as Si Tutu woke up.
