Chapter 8

"I know you have many questions; don't ask. Anything you notice that seems doubtful is fine unless I personally tell you things have changed. Understood, General Xiao?"

They couldn't possibly have no questions, but hearing her say that, they naturally couldn't ask anymore, including why calling him Xiao Ning has its reasons.

"I understand, your humble servant."

"Let's go to the Divine Origin Land; no matter what, staying there in a deep abyss isn't a good thing—better to build a good place."

Xiao Ning understood that this Divine Origin Land was definitely an excavated big river region; previously the Empress was in a disadvantaged state, so how is she now safe and sound?

After all, they are people of Ten Thousand Yuan; not wanting them to know what's reasonable, treating them this way is already very good.

When he was flying, he discovered his element had risen to the fourth level; he didn't know if it was due to his physique or his talent possibly being good.

"It's all thanks to Her Majesty's favor."

"Logically, the future Her Majesty should be stronger than those transmigrated villains, but they seem too many, likely to appear at various time points, making it hard to grasp."

In Xiao Ning's mind, this kind of opening, although not quite a world-ending catastrophe, this timeline that could collapse at any moment always makes people have to stay constantly on guard.

After a few minutes, they flew to this newly built Divine Origin Land.

What they never expected was that there wasn't any magnificent scenery here; instead, it was a volcano!

"It couldn't be a place like the Blazing Heaven Cultivation Tower, could it?"

"General Xiao is really smart, though sometimes too unconventional."

Hearing someone deny himself like that, Xiao Ning also looked helpless, though his emotional intelligence was quite high.

"I'm just wondering, isn't this volcano too big?"

"Otherwise, the elemental energy in the volcano is enormous, while the sea after all has abundant life; if there's no life but still needs huge energy, an earthquake wouldn't be suitable, so it must be a volcano."

Hearing the guard's explanation, he understood this was to provide an energy source for some place; his first thought was the Upper Realm, but does the Upper Realm need a volcano in the Lower Realm to supply energy?

"Her Majesty sent me here, but didn't say what to do; do you know?"

He had a guess in mind: his sister is a water element, he is a light element, and any connection with the volcano isn't good.

"According to speculation, there might not be a demon leader rushing down anytime soon, but outside the world, there will be someone specifically coming to deal with you; remember, don't trust anyone."

"Then can I kill you, since you might not be trustworthy either?"

The guard heard this and burst out laughing, saying:

"Exposing your thoughts too early requires relying on strength for security, rather than instantly leaving yourself with no retreat."

"A retreat isn't brought about by ideas; even if I've schemed to the utmost, meeting someone who specifically wants me dead means his very existence leaves me no retreat."

The guard nodded; that's right, a retreat isn't decided by one side of the way, and some people simply don't leave others a retreat.

"Such vicious and wicked people—I've met plenty, just like me now: clearly I haven't provoked anyone, yet they don't mind being swallowed by time, crossing the long river of time just to harm me; it's basically like a future murderer traveling back to the day before your college entrance exam to give you food poisoning."

This analogy is unmatched—what kind of grudge would it take to do this? Wait, he, a person who got a guard here, how would he know about the college entrance exam?

Xiao Ning desperately restrained himself; although the guard clearly knew he was a time traveler, he couldn't say it himself.

"What is the college entrance exam?"

"It's an exam from a different world called Earth; for many people it's extremely important, though you can take it once a year."

He heard nothing but mockery; he himself was a repeat student, but he wasn't brought over by dying of poison, it's......

"How did I get here?"

The two instantly forgot how they had come to Ten Thousand Yuan; could it be that the enemy brought them here?

Thinking that Wan Wu Yi could turn all things into nothing, it wouldn't be surprising if the enemy wanted to use them and then the enemy disappeared.

"Let's get down to business: you came here first to patrol this area, and second to prevent the volcano from erupting onto the land and sky of Ten Thousand Yuan, so they brought your sister."

This outrageous statement made Liu Qiao doubt life—who would pour water on a volcano? Aren't you afraid it'll erupt?

"You want me to put out the volcano with water? Then I'll really be drinking hot water and lava."

Liu Qiao actually didn't know; she knows you can't use water on an oil fire, but a volcanic eruption might not be stoppable.

"You two try, see if you can bring about a thunderstorm."

Lightning and rain? Only then did the two realize they could combine them like that.

, but now only Xiao Ning has reached the Dragon Origin Realm, and only he can share his innate element.

But his sister has never used his element; if she accidentally opens a hole in the volcano, that would be disastrous.

"Steady now; first gather enough clouds yourself, the ground also needs enough heat to meet the conditions for a thunderstorm......"

"Overdoing it? What good phenomenon is a volcanic thunderstorm? Clearly it's a disaster!"

She didn't even think, immediately giving up cloud control; who would have known that the just‑condensed clouds would plunge straight into the volcano, yet the volcano showed no reaction at all, like swallowing a cotton candy.

"Just right, just right."

"How? You expected me to stop?"

Liu Qiao stared at the volcano without blinking, asking, constantly on guard for any changes.

Seeing this, the guard waved his hand and smiled: 'Don't worry, you could never produce a volcanic thunderstorm anyway, and that volcano crater is interested in high‑energy entities, so it went in.'

"You should have said that earlier—do you know what it feels like to be shocked by a charged body while gathering clouds?"

"Quite stimulating, isn't it? Just joking—you should also try controlling other elements, Little Bunny."

Hearing someone call her Little Bunny, Liu Qiao was quite unhappy, but she couldn't say she was a White Hair Pavilion Scholar, which left her angry and at a loss for words.

"I'm leaving; there are lots of good things here, take your time exploring. By the way, the Emperor gave you a new name: Xiao Ling."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished; Liu Qiao didn't mind, because Wan Wu Yi said that, so they'll accept this for now—maybe someone is looking for people with their original names.

And now Wan Wu Yi watched Xiao Ning and the other stare in surprise at the appearing obsidian, revealing a relieved smile.

This volcano is not the local terrain; it was directly moved from above the upper realm so that Prince Shun and Prince Lu could craft high-tier equipment here.

Not long after, the brother and sister saw the two princes; seeing that the situation had already settled, she let out a long sigh and said, "The lingering spirit won't disperse, right?"

"We couldn't care less about your fight with them, but the void isn't somewhere you can just waltz in and out of."

"Seeing them say that, Wan Wu Xiang chuckled, mocking: 'Looks like you hit a wall; I'll reluctantly let you get out of the cosmic void.'"
