Chapter 627: Why is it him?

Zhao Xing wanted to stay away from the Meijia Demon God, so he ran in the opposite direction, but what he saw was getting closer and closer to the Meijia Demon God.

At first, he thought the Meijia Demon God had cast some spell and resisted with all his might, but soon he found that this was not the case.

Everything around him began to play in reverse. The natural disaster that Zhao Xing had calmed down reappeared.

The Summer Boundary Gate reappeared, the third giant Yang star detached from the Summer Boundary Gate, moved away, and became violent again.

Zhao Xing's feeling of being blessed by heaven and earth disappeared, and the divine power he had replenished suddenly disappeared by a cut.

Following that, the second Yang star came out of the Spring Boundary Gate.

This place has a spatial potential difference. If space is compared to a mountain, Zhao Xing was originally close to the top of the mountain, but now he is slowly retreating.

It can't be said to be retreating, but regressing!

Everything around, including Qing Qing Yu Zi, Meijia, Yang stars, storms, wrecks—everything was playing in reverse.

"Reversing time and space!"

Zhao Xing understood.

At this time, his luck had fallen to the bottom, less than ten ranks, and his life-bound divine weapon automatically closed and returned to his body.

All efforts were in vain. Except for being able to realize that time and space were being reversed, he couldn't do anything.

Qing Qing Yu Zi's feeling was the same.

He watched helplessly as the Killing Green Stick bundled with the Yan Shen Stele went and returned, and then he and the Killing Green Stick repeated the conversation.

It was just in reverse.

"Then flash again."

"I don't know, I just came out in a flash."

"How did you come out just now?"

"How do I get in."

"Wuji, go find Zhao Xing and bring him out."

Qing Qing Yu Zi was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't do anything either. Soon the Eight God Generals he had trapped were released again.

And repeated the conversation from the beginning.

"Maybe it's the Double Food Festival this month, and she's preparing?"

"Why would she appear here?"

"It's the Red-Clothed Immortal Maiden of the Ritual Divine Palace."

"Still holding a stick."

"Why is it a female immortal?"

"Save her quickly!"

"There is a survivor."

Then Qing Qing Yu Zi went dark before his eyes and quickly returned to the center of the natural disaster.

The process of him being thrown away by Bowei was also reversed.

"Senior Lan said there was a very small probability that God King Rijue would not reverse time and space himself, but report it to the Zuming Dao Lord."

"With such powerful space-time great power, there is not even a trace of resistance. It seems that the Zuming Dao Lord is reversing time and space." Zhao Xing sighed in his heart.

"Zuming is a Dao Lord who has both territory and sacrificial Dao artifacts. In real history, he even disobeyed Emperor Yu's orders, and even broke into the Three Realms of Mount Taigu Zhi Qiu to gnaw on the Yuan Gu vein—unless it is the God Emperor, I am afraid no one can save me."

After the initial shock, he became calm instead.

If you stand by the river often, how can your shoes not get wet?

Countless powerhouses can die, and the luck god Rui Chen Xuan will also stumble, so he cannot avoid it.

Assuming this is fate, Zhao Xing was already prepared to welcome fate.

"Being caught by the Zuming Dao Lord, I shouldn't die immediately. Lan could live under his hands, and I am more valuable than Lan, so I should have a chance to live. It's just that I implicated Old Qing."

Zhao Xing watched Qing Qing Yu Zi's figure slowly retreat, and soon he heard the conversation with Old Qing from the beginning.

He could also feel the calmness in Old Qing's heart. It seems that Qing Qing Yu Zi also accepted the fact.

"That's right, mixing in the world, I was long prepared to welcome death."

Zhao Xing soon saw the opening of a Space-Time Gate, which was the Space-Time Gate leading to Shuiyun Land.

Next, they would return to the day they fled Shuiyun Land, and return to Shuiyun Land.

However, just then, Zhao Xing's eyes blurred.

A series of records appeared:

【Bowei launched the Divine Sacrifice Method, passing through two worlds, offering incense to you, the progress of the Sealing Zen Land increased to 84%!】

【Bowei launched the Divine Sacrifice Method, passing through two worlds, offering incense to you, the progress of the Sealing Zen Land increased to 85%!】

【Bowei launched the Divine Sacrifice Method, passing through two worlds, offering incense to you, the progress of the Sealing Zen Land increased to 86%!】

【Bowei launched the Divine Sacrifice Method, passing through two worlds, offering incense to you, the progress of the Sealing Zen Land increased to 95%!】

Looking at the latest record, Zhao Xing was stunned.

What's the situation? Bowei offering incense to himself?

Watching the progress of the Sealing Zen Land soar, Zhao Xing was incomparably shocked.

Assuming the progress is full, can he summon the 【Yin and Yang Warship】 again and shuttle into the Xuanhuang Realm?

Just like when he left?

At that time, he was also facing the suppression of infinite great power, but the Yin and Yang Warship still stilled everything and took him away.

But the problem is, how could Bowei think of such a way to save himself?

Did he do it intentionally, or unintentionally?

In Taishi City, the True Monarch Palace was already full of Bowei.

There were Martial Bowei, Si Nong Bowei, Priest Bowei, Musician Bowei, Swordsman Bowei, Dancer Bowei—each was at the peak of God General, and each possessed different methods of proving the Dao and powerful objects of proving the Dao.

The Bowei in the main seat held a copper plate, and the golden light bloomed rapidly, reflecting the different time points of Qianfan River.

At this time, Bowei was completely sick and went to the doctor, using every method, with only one purpose, which was to interfere with the reversal of time and space in Qianfan River.

Bowei believed that this reversal of time and space should not be the Zuming Dao Lord appearing in person, but just a God King under the Zuming Dao Court.

Since it is a God King, there is hope to stop it.

Soon Bowei found that a certain method seemed to have played a role in interference, so the Bowei in the main seat quickly withdrew the other golden cicada phantoms, leaving only the Priest God Bowei in the hall.

"The progress is already 97%. Is there really a chance to escape?" Zhao Xing suddenly realized that something had not been reversed.

The panel showed that he still mastered the Summer Boundary Gate.

"The divine fruits I ate in Shuiyun Land were all spat out after reversing time and space, which is equivalent to not eating them, but the techniques won't be forgotten. Is it that they are not affected, or the progress of the panel won't be reversed?"

Zhao Xing stared expectantly, hoping that Bowei could work harder.

But when the space-time crack opened and turned into a door, the progress of the Sealing Zen Land still stopped at 97%.

Bowei tried every means, but ultimately couldn't defeat the Dao Lord.

In Taishi City, Bowei's phantom clones all stopped their movements, because he found that no matter what, he couldn't interfere with the reversal process.

"Zuming Dao Lord—" Bowei's eyes were gloomy, and his fingernails were embedded in his flesh.

Only then did he realize that it was not a God King casting spells, but the Zuming Dao Lord.

No matter how heaven-defying he was, he ultimately couldn't defeat the Dao Lord's personal action.

"I'm not strong enough yet, I need to endure."

Bowei realized this deeply. He immediately got up and headed to the depths of Taishi City.

He wanted to bow his head and admit his mistake to the ancestor of the Real History Party, first calm the internal disputes, and then apologize to the Zuming Dao Court to delay proving the Dao.

"Stopped?"

"Elder, don't stop."

Zhao Xing shouted inwardly, but the panel had no movement.

The hope that had just ignited was shattered again.

At this time, he could already see the scene at the other end of the Space-Time Gate.

In the Divine Palace of Shuiyun Land, God King Rijue stood tall in battle armor, holding a long spear.

His figure was tall, and the radiance of divine power was boundless, but at this moment, it was eclipsed.

Because in front of him, there was another figure. Although it looked several times smaller, this figure's aura was much more majestic than God King Rijue's.

He had a starry canopy on his head, wore a purple high-crowned Daoist robe, and a cyan river circled behind his back.

The Zuming Dao Lord is a human-bodied mouse-faced creature. He doesn't mind others seeing his true form, but is proud of it, because he is the only mouse that devours the world born in the universe since ancient times!

Zhao Xing seemed to be able to see the sarcasm in the Zuming Dao Lord's eyes: A small God General, dare to break into my territory and steal food?

Little did he know that Zuming was the ancestor of this Dao, and even the earth veins of the Three Realms of Mount Taigu Zhi Qiu had been stolen and eaten by him!

Zhao Xing and Qing Qing Yu Zi both bent their bodies and couldn't help but fly towards the Space-Time Gate.

However, just then, everything suddenly stilled.

Between the Space-Time Gate and Zhao Xing, a blue crystal appeared, then expanded rapidly, forming a blue crystal step, followed by the second, the third... A pale blue ice crystal ladder appeared.

It slanted in, and everything else couldn't move, only the blue ladder extended, and finally a cold ice throne appeared at the end of the ladder.

Zhao Xing's eyes narrowed. He had seen this throne once.

"Master of Cold Food?"

Why would he appear here?

But there was no figure on the throne, instead a golden-covered scroll was placed there.

Zhao Xing felt a bit familiar.

It wasn't that he had seen it, but he felt that this scroll was of the same origin as the Ancestor Imperial Dynasty he had used before.

"Master of Cold Food, what is your intention in descending to Zuming Heaven?" Zhao Xing heard the Zuming Dao Lord's voice, his tone very unhappy.

But he didn't hear the Master of Cold Food's voice. At first, he thought the Master of Cold Food didn't speak, and only later did he know that he couldn't hear it.

Because the Zuming Dao Lord said a second sentence.

"I have no friendship with you, why should I give you face?"

"What is your relationship with these people?"

"Just because of the Cold Food Festival? Do I have to wait until after the Cold Food Festival to catch them? Absurd!"

"Shuiyun Land is damaged to this extent, you are making it very difficult for me."

After a burst of communication, the Zuming Dao Lord's tone softened significantly.

Zhao Xing didn't understand, but vaguely felt that the appearance of the Master of Cold Food seemed to suppress the Zuming Dao Lord.

Why would this be?

This is Zuming Heaven!

The Zuming Dao Lord, in the territory where he proved the Dao, was actually suppressed by another person?

Could it be related to the things on the cold ice throne?

Silence.

Because the reversal of time and space was temporarily stalled, Zhao Xing couldn't feel the passage of time, and didn't know how long this silence lasted.

The confrontation between Dao Lord levels is difficult to be seen by him.

However, he felt the fluctuation of the perspective, as if the Zuming Dao Lord and the Master of Cold Food had fought.

His field of vision was like a person standing on a boat, shaking violently.

"Fought?"

"What was

After his perspective stabilized, Zhao Xing found that he was still stuck in mid-air, unable to go up or down.

What on earth had happened?

The Zuming Dao Lord stood on the Water-Cloud Continent, his eyes extremely cold and gloomy.

He did not know much about the Master of Cold Food, only that this Dao Lord had emerged from the Chaos Era; at first, people called him the Cold God King, and later, some respectfully addressed him as the Master of Cold Food.

The endless heavens began to worship the Master of Cold Food in many places, but they could not figure out his origins at all.

It was only known that this person created the Cold Food Festival, which spread among the lowly mortal life groups and quickly spread toward the upper echelons.

Since his appearance, this festival had existed and spread rapidly, as if poisoned; it could not be banned even if one tried.

Regarding the origins of the Master of Cold Food, the Zuming Dao Lord had only heard one sentence:

The Emperor takes the people as Heaven, and the people take food as Heaven.

Could it be that the "Heaven" in the Master of Cold Food's "Material Law Heaven and Earth" was actually such an ethereal proof of belief?

After his perspective stabilized, Zhao Xing heard the voice again, and it was very clear.

Because this time, the Zuming Dao Lord was speaking directly to Zhao Xing:

"Kid, you have good luck."

"Lan reversed time and space and happened to run into the Cold Food Festival, but after the Cold Food Festival, you won't be so lucky."

"Now, run for your life."

"I will catch you and replace Lan's position!"

Zhao Xing felt his whole body trembling; the Zuming Dao Lord's pressure was truly too heavy, and he felt as if his spirit and soul were about to be crushed.

But the next moment, all this pressure dissipated.

His vision blurred, and the Gate of Time and Space, the Heavenly Ladder, and the Ice Throne were gone.

Qing Qing Yu Zi and he suddenly fell violently.

"Bang!"

Their divine bodies slammed onto the hard floor, and the two were instantly disoriented.

"Old Qing, are you alright?"

After Zhao Xing regained his mobility, he quickly climbed up to check on Qing Qing Yu Zi's condition.

"Not dead, but what difference does this make from being dead?" Qing Qing Yu Zi lay on the ground motionless. "Being locked up by the Zuming Dao Lord, never to see the light of day again, is worse than death."

Qing Qing Yu Zi had not heard the conversation between the Zuming Dao Lord and the Master of Cold Food at all, thinking he had been reversed and then locked in a wasteland by the Zuming Dao Lord.

"Falling into his hands, how can there be any good? Unable to seek life, unable to seek death—" Qing Qing Yu Zi sighed.

If the ninth reversal occurred, the True God Lan would also be resurrected; this was simply being unable to die, forever unable to be liberated.

It was simply too terrifying.

"Is it possible that we weren't locked up? Look, the environment here isn't right." Zhao Xing looked around.

"Of course it's not right. Do you think they'd lock us on the Water-Cloud Continent? They must have thrown us into a cruel environment to grind us for a few eras first, and once our tempers are worn down and we are willing to submit, they'll change to another place to play—" Qing Qing Yu Zi was so practiced it was heartbreaking; it seemed he had gone through this process many times before when captured.

"No, we really weren't locked up!"

Zhao Xing glanced at his panel, which had a coordinate prompt.

【You have entered the Third Layer of the Feather Emperor Heaven, Yu Celestial Mansion, Desolate A-Star Five. Coordinates: Giant Yang 354, Extreme Yin 3.】

The Feather Emperor divided the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; the Heaven where the Divine Court is located has ninety-nine layers, which later generations call the Hundred Fathoms of Void.

It was just that in the Desolate Era, low-level cultivators all lived in the Phenomenon Layer, Dao Manifestation Layer, and Dao Ancient Layer, which were not suitable for establishing residences; generally, only reclusive powerhouses could establish territories in the Dao Ancient Layer.

Similarly, in the Feather Emperor Era, the Hundred Fathoms of Void all had spiritual energy and matter; the differences between the three major layers of Phenomenon, Dao Manifestation, and Dao Ancient were not particularly obvious.

Zhao Xing once had a Dao Ancient Golden Cicada Dharma Robe; since life survived in the deep void in the ancient era, it was naturally different from the deep space of the Desolate Era, which was empty.

"The Third Layer of the Feather Emperor Heaven, Yu Celestial Mansion; the Yu Celestial Mansion is named after the Yu God King under the Feather Emperor. The divine stars in this layer of space are all managed by the Yu God King."

"Desolate A-Star Five is the name for a desolate dead star. Judging by the coordinates, this should be a relatively barren space; otherwise, it wouldn't be named starting with 'Desolate'." Zhao Xing quickly matched the coordinates with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths map.

The value after Giant Yang is over three hundred, representing the distance; that is to say, it is very far from the sun, and the Great Daos of Yin and Yang are relatively extreme here, with no life growing at all.

"Are you serious?" Qing Qing Yu Zi slowly regained his spirit, but he was still half-doubting, thinking Zhao Xing was teasing him.

"Not finding joy in suffering, or comforting yourself?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Zhao Xing said. "Compare the star map yourself, and look at the starry sky. Isn't this the Yu Celestial Mansion of the Feather Emperor Heaven in the Demon God Era?"

Whoosh! Qing Qing Yu Zi jumped up immediately, took out the map, and compared it.

He hadn't studied Space-Time Theory, but he understood Star Mansion Theory very well, because a Si Nong of Heavenly Time must learn this theory.

In the Feather Emperor Era, the three paths of Si Nong all underwent great changes; various theories and laws, spells and secret arts emerged one after another. Star Mansion Theory was a must-learn, otherwise, one couldn't survive in this era.

Of course, if one lived in the Desolate Era or Spirit Domain Era, there was no need to learn it, because the Hundred Fathoms of Void had completely changed. There was basically nothing in the void above the tenth layer, except for some chaotic void rivers and overlapping mountains that couldn't be utilized; there was no life at all.

"It really is!" Qing Qing Yu Zi was shocked. He immediately brandished his Killing Green Staff and swung it casually, wanting to break through the void.

The void is layered; it is difficult to break through from a lower layer to a higher layer, but easy from a higher layer to a lower layer.

So as long as he broke through the third layer of space, he could enter the second or fourth layer.

Gods descending to the mortal world, gods ascending to the nine heavens—that is how they go up and down.

"Hmm? Why can't I cut through it?" Qing Qing Yu Zi almost dropped the map in his hand. "Good, you're still lying to me!"

Zhao Xing was speechless: "This is Desolate A-Star, similar to the Desolate Era. The earth veins of this star are still dead veins, and the space has long been torn and shattered by the power of the dead veins billions of times, becoming incomparably solid. How are you going to cut through it?"

"To break through the void, you have to fly out of the range of the dead star first."

Qing Qing Yu Zi immediately realized he had made a trial-and-error mistake, but Zhao Xing didn't mind; he had also made the same mistake when he first descended to the Thousand Sails Star River.

"That's not right, how could we possibly escape from the hands of the Zuming Dao Lord?" Qing Qing Yu Zi still couldn't believe it.

A Dao Lord in his own place of proving the Dao is practically invincible; in his understanding, perhaps only a God Emperor could fight him, and other Dao Lords could at most escape.

And they were merely God Generals—how could they possibly escape?

"Didn't you see the Ice Throne, didn't you hear the voice?"

"What Ice Throne, whose voice?"

"The Zuming Dao Lord's voice, the Master of Cold Food's throne."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Zhao Xing had no choice but to tell Qing Qing Yu Zi everything that had happened.

Qing Qing Yu Zi slapped his thigh, suddenly enlightened: "I understand!"

"What do you understand?"

"The Master of Cold Food came to save me!"

Now it was Zhao Xing's turn to be stunned.

The Master of Cold Food came to save Old Qing?

But isn't he an evil god?

Has Old Qing met the Master of Cold Food?

Qing Qing Yu Zi said: "Think carefully, did the Master of Cold Food come out of Bowei's Transmission Tower?"

"Yes."

"Was Bowei captured afterward?"

"Yes."

"The Master of Cold Food's divine power clone must have also been captured by the Hall Master."

"Is that so?" Zhao Xing was suspicious; he remembered that in the Third Era of the Desolate Era, the Master of Cold Food had frozen a batch of life in the Chaotic Sea to death.

"You don't understand." Qing Qing Yu Zi said: "No matter how long we shuttle through the long river of history, at whatever point in time, the time of the Desolate Era is always moving forward."

"You can imagine a river slowly flowing out from its source; then this time tide must have a crest, right?"

"Yes."

"Fate officials cannot see through the future completely, and we cannot shuttle too far into the future of time and space; it's the same principle." Qing Qing Yu Zi said: "Because the tide of the long river of time has not yet reached the next point in time."

"This is what the Real History Party often calls 'Real Time'; it usually hasn't been reversed, nor has it been tampered with, as a single history."

"Haven't you read Space-Time Theory?"

"This is common knowledge for space-time shuttling." Qing Qing Yu Zi waved his hand. "You made your first shuttle in the Sixth Solar Year of the Third Era of the Desolate Era, riding the Space-Time Boat."

"And we have experienced so many shuttles, but the time of the Desolate Era is still moving forward. It has already reached ten solar years after the Third Era of the Desolate Era."

"I have contacted the Reincarnation Divine Hall, and at that time the Hall Master told me the news about Bowei, and I also learned that the Master of Cold Food had been silent for a long time."

"So I suspect that later, the Master of Cold Food's clone must have been captured like Bowei."

"Then, he reached some kind of agreement with the Hall Master like Bowei, so the Master of Cold Food's true self came to save me."

Qing Qing Yu Zi spoke convincingly, and Zhao Xing actually believed him a little.

What is the purpose of the Reincarnation Divine Hall? To maintain cosmic balance. Although it is divided into three factions internally, they all share a unified purpose, only differing in their understanding of the philosophy.

It actually doesn't have such a strong desire to kill evil gods, and there are relatively few members of the Reincarnation Divine Hall who shuttle through time and space.

After the Master of Cold Food's clone descended, he didn't conquer by force, but initiated one Dharma assembly after another to discuss the Dao.

The time Zhao Xing met him, the Master of Cold Food also broke the Dao of the Heart God General Qiluo by discussing the Dao, rather than by force.

Come to think of it, the Master of Cold Food's behavior was not as extreme as Bowei's.

"What you said seems to make sense." Zhao Xing pondered.

"No." Qing Qing Yu Zi flipped through a jade slip and suddenly shook his head again: "I'm afraid saving people was just a side task; the real purpose was to maintain his Dao."

"Hmm? Why is it wrong again?"

"Inside this jade slip of mine, some of the ways the Master of Cold Food preached are recorded."

"The many Dharma assemblies he held were all related to eating. In the Desolate Era, he even descended to the ancient kingdoms many times, inviting the people to eat together for free, many of whom weren't even in the Origin Realm."

"He spread the Cold Food Festival, letting the people of the ancient kingdoms extinguish their fires and burn new fire; this is very much like a way of spreading the Dao."

"To enhance his influence, the Cold Food Festival is precisely one of the ways he preaches."

"The day the True God Lan reversed time and space happened to be the 'Main Cold Food Festival' of the Ninth Solar Year of the Demon God Era."

"When I was thrown out of the Thousand Sails Star River, I ran into a few God Generals who came to provide disaster relief. At that time, I was in the appearance of a fairy, and they even thought I was preparing for the Double Food Festival."

Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Let's not consider what deal the Master of Cold Food and the Hall Master made for now; we haven't escaped our predicament yet."

"According to what I heard earlier, the Zuming Dao Lord hasn't let us go; he just didn't want to take action during the Cold Food Festival."

"He will still hunt us down afterward."

"How many days does the Cold Food Festival last?"

Qing Qing Yu Zi shook his head: "I don't know. Looking at the situation in the Desolate Era, in some places the Cold Food Festival only lasts two days, while in others it lasts as long as two months."

"I don't know what the rules were for the Cold Food Festival in the Ninth Solar Year of the Demon God Era."

"If I had known, I should have captured a few live ones."

"It would be useless no matter how many you captured." Zhao Xing said: "They were all reversed."

The Zuming Dao Lord's reversal of time and space was not completely interrupted; he just didn't reverse the time and space before leaving the Water-Cloud Continent, but the time and space of the Thousand Sails Star River were still changed.

So the eight God Generals Qing Qing Yu Zi captured were still alive and well, still on their way to provide disaster relief.

"The Zuming Dao Court has vast influence. I imagine he has already issued a kill order. No power will receive us, and the Gate of Time and Space has been affected by Bowei, making shuttling difficult and filled with obstacles. With such a short time to escape, where can we run?" Qing Qing Yu Zi looked dejected.

"How about we go find Bowei?"

"I don't dare to go." Qing Qing Yu Zi's face turned pale. "If Bowei doesn't kill me, it's already considered merciful."

Judging Bowei's attitude from the attitude of the Boundless God King, Qing Qing Yu Zi understood very well that he was absolutely loathed by Bowei.

"Forget it, he can't even protect himself." Zhao Xing also gave up on this plan.

The Real History Party was being forced by the Zuming Dao Court to hand over people; Bowei himself had a pile of trouble, so how could he have the ability to shelter them?

Going there in the past was purely adding trouble.

"Lord Year Beast!" Zhao Xing immediately released the Year Beast.

"Cook, did we escape?"

"Yes, but we are being hunted by the Zuming Dao Lord."

"Is it the Zuming Dao Court, or the Dao Lord?" the Year Beast asked.

"The Zuming Dao Lord."

"How stingy, just for eating a few fruits, he's actually hunting us down personally." The Year Beast cursed.

"Then there's no other way; you all follow me and hide in the Nine Nether Dao Palace."

"Hide for dozens or hundreds of eras; maybe his anger will subside."

"Once Bowei's matter passes, perhaps the Nine Nether Dao Palace can take us to another time and space, a time and space without the Zuming Dao Lord."

Hide for dozens or hundreds of eras?

He could hide, but when he came out, his friends and family in the Great Zhou would probably all be gone!

Qing Qing Yu Zi had said that the long river of time is always moving forward; he would eventually have to go back to help his friends and family solve their lifespan problems.

If he came out and there were no Great Zhou friends and family left, he would go crazy.

Zhao Xing frowned: "Can you recall where the Dragon Clan's place of guarding is?"

"Cook, you still want to go?"

"Of course, I don't want to hide."

"I can't recall—"

"Lord Year Beast!" Zhao Xing deepened his tone. Did the Year Beast still want to be lazy? Having eaten so many divine fruits, he didn't believe the Year Beast hadn't made progress.

"Alright, I'll take you there." The Year Beast muttered: "But do you really think this must be a good place?"

"Cook, those big guys are all very fierce and have no feelings at all."

"I only ate a little bit of their stuff back then, and I was burned until all my fur fell off."

Qing Qing Yu Zi asked curiously: "What did Lord Year Beast eat of the Dragon Clan's?"

"Nothing much, just a few divine eggs." The Year Beast reminisced, "And they weren't very tasty."

"..."
