The chaos of the mortal world was something Lu Ran was unaware of.

Ever since he seized the souls of the Greedy Wolf and Evil Dog, Lu Ran swiftly returned to the Holy Spirit Mountain, Tianya Residence, entering a dazed mode.

The Divine Aura dispersed from the remnants of these divine beings was quite considerable.

Especially the Greedy Wolf!

Truly living up to the name "Greedy".

The Origin Energy contained within was exceedingly abundant, far beyond compare to the Evil God.

Under normal circumstances, a fallen Evil God allows the Ran Sect to forge a new god from its soul and use its Source Energy to advance two Fake Gods to the Heavenly Realm's Third Level.

The Source Energy given by the Greedy Wolf to the Ran Sect was enough to further four Fake Gods from the Second Level of the Heavenly Realm.

The Ran Sect truly feasted!

And Lu Ran truly suffered...

With Jiang Ruyi managing the back garden, he was naturally very assured. The Fake Gods in the garden advanced in batches, orderly, keeping Lu Ran consistently in a dazed state.

Not until the twenty-eighth of the lunar October that Lu Ran finally awoke from his sleep.

"Ugh..." Lu Ran opened his groggy eyes, only to find the room still shrouded in thick mist.

The advancement of a Heavenly Realm's Great Power truly takes a long time.

Lu Ran eased himself for a while, gently clenching his palm.

The low table in the study room floated automatically, crossing the hall and arriving in the bedroom.

"Pop."

Lu Ran embraced the Treasure Gourd: "Little Blazing Phoenix, you have to give more effort, or else, I truly might be done for."

He woke from a dream rather than emerging with clarity from a crashed state.

Meaning Lu Ran had fainted yet again.

He thought he had developed some tolerance, yet the emergence of the Evil Shadow Guardian made Lu Ran experience anew the meaning of splitting headache, worse than death.

"Buzz~" The Treasure Gourd quivered slightly, conveying strands of grievance.

Little Blazing Phoenix certainly wished to help the master, but advancing to the fourth rank, isn't that easy?

Lu Ran sat up, leaning against the bedhead, grasping the Treasure Gourd in both hands: "According to rules, the fourth rank is a Divine Grade, at the level of God Demon, the energy used is Holy Spirit Energy."

The Blazing Phoenix-patterned Gourd jumped up and down in Lu Ran's palm.

It's difficult to discern whether Little Blazing Phoenix was nodding in affirmation or treating Lu Ran's palm as a trampoline.

"Perhaps, this is your direction for growth?" Lu Ran speculated.

The Treasure Gourd tilted slightly, as if cocking a little head.

Lu Ran pondered, "You are presently third rank, whether absorbing, storing energy between heaven and earth, or refining corpses, living beings, all remain at the level of Divine Power.

For fourth rank, maybe you could delve into Holy Spirit Energy.

Absorb, store, or actively purify, you could explore this direction."

"Buzz~" The Blazing Phoenix patterned Gourd quivered.

"Good." Lu Ran smiled, holding the Treasure Gourd again to his chest.

"Awake?" A cold voice echoed.

Lu Ran glanced over, catching sight of a figure in regal phoenix robe at the side of the screen.

Today's Evil God had some changes.

Fairy Jiang tied up her long hair, using the Magic Artifact Smoke Green Gauze.

Other Heavenly Realm's Great Powers lost their aura wearing Smoke Green Gauze, but for Jiang Ruyi, the artifact's effectiveness sharply diminished!

Nevertheless, Lu Ran noticed he felt less intimidated.

The unseen rules amid heaven and earth finally let him go a step, his heart no longer shuddered intensely.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Jiang Ruyi stood at the screen side, not rashly approaching.

Lu Ran rose from the bed, stepping forward, while she consistently kept her eyes shut, making him find it amusing yet somewhat guilty.

"Hm."

Jiang Ruyi sensed an arm wrapping around her waist, feeling the familiar and warm embrace.

Her chin resting on someone's shoulder, she whispered: "Not afraid anymore?"

In the soft voice, a hint of teasing lingered.

"Afraid."

"Then why are you?" Jiang Ruyi slightly raised an eyebrow.

"Just like this, let it breathe." Lu Ran buried his head in her neck, inhaling deeply the faint scent of jasmine.

Jiang Ruyi's delicate face turned slightly red but didn't resist, quietly standing there, indulging in the rare tranquility.

Until Little Blazing Phoenix snuck over gently, cautiously squeezing into their embrace...

"Go." Jiang Ruyi flicked her finger, lightly tapping the chubby Treasure Gourd.

Little Blazing Phoenix instantly became obedient, tilting as it soared, with a downcast look, flying over the screen's top, heading to the study room.

Once the little fellow left, Jiang Ruyi sensed someone secretly acting mischievously.

The kiss fallen on her neck wasn't light but seemed plucking strawberries?

A kiss mark to be left?

"Hmm..." Jiang Ruyi kept her eyes closed, her long eyelashes gently trembling, her already flushed cheeks blushing even deeper.

She indeed wanted to retrieve the interaction mode of the past.

Not wanting Lu Ran to tremble in body and spirit, so unbearable.

For this, she didn't hesitate to lower herself, stepped down from the Divine Altar, and borrowed Smoke Green Gauze from the Nightmare Guardian.

And now Jiang Ruyi recalled that within the past interaction mode...

This person was a rascal!

She softly said, "The... the Evil Shadow Guardian has ascended as a god, possessing a complete Divine Position, should... should we summon her, see the specific scenario?"

Lu Ran's expression turned odd, feeling everything had returned.

Little Ruyi used a tone of inquiry, instead of issuing cold commands.

"Sure, I was just thinking of meeting her, see the True God's demeanor." Lu Ran thought for a moment, "Let's go to Mo Gu Peak then, to avoid any trouble."

"Mm." Jiang Ruyi responded softly.

In no time, the two arrived at the end of Holy Spirit Mountain, Mo Gu Peak.

"By the way, what date is it today?" Lu Ran stepped into the massive mountain cave.

"The twenty-eighth."

"It's almost a month now, General Hua should have been promoted successfully." Lu Ran muttered.

"Hua Qingying has already been successfully promoted."

"Oh?" Lu Ran turned his head to look at his demon girlfriend.

He saw her still with her eyes closed: "She was promoted successfully the day before yesterday and came to visit you at Tianya Residence. I chatted with her and arranged a place for her in the Underground City, letting her stay on standby."

"Oh, then little Yuanxi should be successful soon too."

"Mm, she's been advancing for more than twenty days." Jiang Ruyi said softly, "Guan Yiren has reached the Fourth Rank of the Sea Realm, and both Wei Yun and Bai Yanhui have ascended to the Sea Realm Peak."

"Good, good, good." Lu Ran nodded repeatedly.

Finally, the Flower Lantern - Black Lantern stone sculpture could be handed over to little Yuanxi.

Once little Yuanxi fuses with the stone sculpture, Lu Ran can directly propel her to the Heavenly Realm, Third Level!

This is what's called boosting a junior's rank~

Below the Heavenly Realm, you must cultivate diligently on your own, that's just how it is.

But as long as you ascend, I'll help you leap across two whole Great Realms.

Sword towards divinity!

The Lantern Sect, known as the king of the Support Realm, combined with the powerful techniques of the Black Lamp Clan, once a Divine Position is complete, who knows what kind of chemical reaction could happen with the fusion of Divine and Evil Techniques?

Little Yuanxi is about to take off!

Lu Ran thought happily, a smile appearing on his face.

If little Yuanxi were present, she'd probably say her brother is silly again.

"Whew!!"

Winds surged, terrifying energy filled the vast cave, a colossal stone sculpture rapidly formed, standing firmly within the cave.

"Roar!!" Lu Ran let out a battle cry to boost his fighting spirit.

He got a mouthful of wind and sand, hurriedly covering his face with one hand, pushed back repeatedly by the gusts.

What a great Evil Shadow!

Is it really that fierce?

Lu Ran retreated to the cave entrance, only then did he strain to look up at the towering figure.

This statue wore a wide stone bamboo hat, draped in a stone cloak, with a Black Ice Divine Weapon - Evil Moon Scimitar at its waist, a Black Ice Divine Weapon - Xiaoling Short Sword hidden in the right leg boot.

Clearly dressed as a mysterious Jianghu heroine, yet due to its extremely terrifying aura, Lu Ran was pulled from the martial world back into a fantasy world.

Actually, Yan Shuangzi also had a Magic Artifact - Moonlight Tassel Fragrance Pouch.

However, the effect of this artifact is to slightly increase the wearer's cultivation speed, so it was lent to other Ran Sect disciples.

"Master, Lady." The deity spoke faintly, its voice seemingly from the heavens.

Lu Ran suddenly felt a sense of inadequacy for his position.

What virtue or capability do I have?

A truly significant deity actually addressed him this way.

"How is it, how do you feel?" Lu Ran asked loudly.

The deity lowered its gaze, overlooking the insignificant creature at the cave entrance, without powerful perception techniques, it would be difficult to even notice this tiny ant.

"The mindset isn't great."

"Mindset?" Lu Ran had expected Yan Shuangzi to speak of physical changes, or techniques.

He did not expect it to be psychological.

"More arrogant, not like myself." Yan Shuangzi knelt on one knee, her gaze enveloping Lu Ran.

Yet even so, her face was far from the cave entrance.

Lu Ran watched the "heavens" collapse again, and shouted once more: "Roar!"

Yan Shuangzi: "..."

Jiang Ruyi picked up her phoenix robe collar with one hand, covering her neck, gazing up at the deity: "Changes in status require time to adapt."

Actually, to Jiang Ruyi, it didn't matter if the Evil Shadow Guardian adapted or not.

As long as the attitude towards him remained unchanged.

From Yan Shuangzi's demeanor, nothing seemed to have changed.

"Yes." Yan Shuangzi responded softly, then said, "The Divine Position also granted me many new abilities, I need time to comprehend them."

Jiang Ruyi: "I can share with you the experiences the Evil God Position granted, but what the Divine Position gives you, you must comprehend on your own."

After all, Jiang Ruyi's Divine Position is incomplete.

She cannot craft Divine Ruins, nor can she bring down pillars of blessings to temper bones for the Human Clan.

"Thank you, Lady."

Lu Ran looked passionately, gazing up at the goddess's face: "Immortal Sheep Lord did say, once the Divine Position is complete, your combat power will increase to some extent.

For example, your body strength, speed, and power, various attributes.

Additionally, Divine and Evil Techniques with similar effects can also fuse, exerting even greater effects."

Yan Shuangzi squinted her eyes slightly.

In the techniques of Greedy Wolf - Evil Dog sects, similar ones include Evil Sense - Wolf Sense, Evil Sensitivity - Wolf Sensitivity.

Such techniques are already almost bug-level existences!

And they can still fuse, exerting even greater effects?

How formidable must that be?

Yan Shuangzi finally understood why the little figure at her feet looked so full of anticipation.

She was moved too!
