In the deepest part of the Thunder Hall's Green Wood Thunder Secret Realm.

Lin Tianming had left this place for a long time, yet the scenery remained one of corruption, decay, and withering of all things.

Withered flowers in silent death, the World Tree rotting and collapsing...

Symbols of life's hope extinguished, sinister and demonic despair permeated every corner here.

The terrifying, banshee-like screams of agony echoed in what once was the World Tree Sanctuary of the Genetic God Country.

Only when the chilling howling of the banshee subsided did Fairy Qing Lei slowly revert to human form from the torment of fleshly mutation.

However, the form she took on lacked any semblance of Fairy Qing Lei's immortal energy, her body still tainted with the deceitful and demonic aura of a Deceit God.

"I have greatly overestimated myself... I can't last ten years as I am now... no... I can't even last the year that my dear mentioned..."

She said sarcastically, thinking of Lin Tianming whom she called her dear, Fairy Qing Lei sighed deeply.

Looking down at her decaying body, she knew that her life was nearing its end.

"After living for so long, it's enough... Eternal life without companionship is no more than a twisted wandering ghost in solitude..."

Looking towards the once majestic but now rotting World Tree, Fairy Qing Lei slowly approached its base.

She came to the decaying corpse of her sister who had long passed away, laying her head on her sister's legs.

"Sister, I'm sorry... You sacrificed so much for me, but your little sister has failed... and now I'm coming to join you..."

Muttering to herself, Fairy Qing Lei slowly closed her beautiful eyes, allowing her tears to fall.

"But this is fine... The two of us sisters can reunite again... Just like before... resting on sister's lap, while sister strokes her little sister's head... forever spoiling me..."

As Fairy Qing Lei's life approached its end, she no longer struggled.

Too tired, she chose to die beside her sister, so that they could reunite in the afterlife.

...

At the foot of the Thunder Hall's mountain.

Returning here once more, less than a year had passed, but Lin Tianming felt as if it were a lifetime.

"Yiyi, Sarah, you two hide in the shadows, do not show yourselves. If I call for you, then you can come out."

"Yes, Tianming!"

Following Lin Tianming, Huang Yiyi and Sister Sarah obediently responded and then disappeared.

Seeing that they had hidden themselves, Lin Tianming glanced at his attire for the day and murmured.

"People shouldn't be able to recognize me like this, right?"

Despite feeling that his disguise made it difficult to be recognized, Lin Tianming decided to take extra precautions.

Taking a quarter of the Mother of Destiny's face and a quarter of the Wanling Divine Lady's face, Lin Tianming put on this beautiful half-mask.

His whole body emanated a strong aura of sinister and demonic energy and he then appeared at the entrance of the Green Wood Thunder Secret Realm.

It wasn't the time for the Green Wood Thunder Secret Realm to open, so it was sealed.

However, this seal set up by the inheritance of Thunder Hall could only be broken for normal entry and exit, and couldn't rescue Fairy Qing Lei.

What he needed to open was a deeper Genetic God Country's God's Sealing Array.

First easily breaking through this mundane Array, Lin Tianming then began to sense the Array trapping Gods as described by Fairy Qing Lei.

In just a short moment, he sensed the Array that could trap a God.

From the outside, the Array seemed extremely fragile, indeed easily broken by those who had become Gods.

Inside however, it was extremely formidable, and Lin Tianming realized that even with his post-Ascension power, he could not break it from within.

Teacher Tianshui's heart had once said that after Ascension, the Level Realm division of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms could reach as high as True God.

The terrifying sealing power that couldn't even be broken from the inside, surely it wasn't to the extent that even the gods of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms at the True God Level couldn't escape from it?

Unable to figure out the reason at the moment, Lin Tianming stopped pondering the matter.

With Divine Power surging in the palm of his hand, he directly bombarded the Array.

As Lin Tianming struck from the outside, the entire Array began to crumble at a visible speed.

Inside, the Green Wood Thunder Secret Realm was shaking violently.

Accepting her fate of death, Fairy Qing Lei was startled by the intense shaking.

She quickly sat up from lying on her elder sister's thigh and stared blankly upward, in a daze.

"This commotion...seems like the Sealing is about to break...could it be...that the adorable one has come back?"

"But it hasn't been a year since the adorable one mentioned... Could something unexpected have happened outside?"

It wasn't just the interior of the Green Wood Thunder Secret Realm that was trembling violently; the Thunder Hall outside was also starting to shake.

"Such a big commotion?"

Lin Tianming raised an eyebrow.

He had thought that breaking the Array would only cause the Green Wood Thunder Secret Realm to shake.

He just wanted to quietly take Fairy Qing Lei away without alarming anyone.

Unexpectedly, the entire mountain on which Thunder Hall was located was trembling as well.

This commotion, probably someone will come soon...

"Plans cannot keep up with changes, but...I must bring Fairy Qing Lei back to daylight today!"

Deep within Thunder Hall, where Jiang Han had officially taken over the position of Hall Master, she was in the midst of devoted cultivation.

Embracing the desire to take revenge for her precious student Lin Tianming, she cultivated selflessly almost every day.

She is now a Second-order God.

Having discussed with Tianshui before about whether one could continue to breakthrough after becoming a god, both she and Tianshui, who had successfully broken through, named this brand-new Level Realm as Second-order God.

The ones responsible for paving the way, they did not keep it to themselves, sharing the results of post-ascension breakthroughs with everyone.

Just then, the violent commotion from the direction of the Green Wood Thunder Secret Realm awakened Jiang Han from her meditation.

"How dare someone brazenly intrude into my Thunder Hall!"

Angry Thunder Power swirled in her beautiful eyes, and Jiang Han instantly appeared at the entrance of the Green Wood Thunder Secret Realm.

Ever since her precious student Lin Tianming died, her temperament has gotten worse and she became easily angered.

Because she became more decisive and forceful than before, the slack Elders of Thunder Hall dared not provoke her anymore.

Every day they handled affairs more proactively and dared not rely on their status as Elders to suppress the spirited disciples of Thunder Hall with so-called rules.

Considering they had once been fellow disciples with her master, and they were genuinely repentant and active in dealing with affairs, Jiang Han didn't hold a grudge against them anymore.

She was also focused on her cultivation, occasionally hunting down Divine Realm Demons in the Land of Calamity.

She would personally review some major decisions needing her approval only occasionally.

Now, discovering someone daring enough to cause such a disturbance in her Thunder Hall, Jiang Han naturally would not let the intruder off the hook.

But when she saw the back of the intruder, whether it was her illusion or not, she felt a sense of familiarity.

Although this figure was filled with the eerie and sinister aura of the Deceit God, and it was very likely a Deceit God Human Body,

still within her incredulous beautiful eyes, that figure gradually overlapped with her precious student Lin Tianming, who had long been dead.

With slightly misty eyes and a sour nose, she almost subconsciously let out a trembling voice.

"Is that you, friend Tianming?"
