As Lady Nu Ying's lackey was disemboweled, a massive remnant shadow of the Lord God, expanded from the small figure of Nu Ying, flying backward.

Simultaneously, the small Chi Ji Blade transformed, reverting to a giant red blade nearly 200 meters long along with the shadow.

As everyone knows, a Divine Weapon can only deploy its Domain when in alliance with its master.

"Whoosh!!"

At the moment the Chi Ji Blade transformed, a sudden gale arose!

A terrifying tornado once again bloomed diagonally behind Nu Ying's shadow, its size astonishing, connecting heaven and earth.

The backward-flying shadow of Nu Ying suddenly stopped!

Her ethereal hand grasped the Chi Ji Blade, looking down below.

From the thick sea of mist, a blood-soaked figure wobbly stood up.

His right arm had been severed, broken from the upper arm, and his left arm was chopped off from the shoulder, leaving him nearly a human stub.

Streams of fresh blood still flowed out, staining his white clothing.

The scene was dreadful to behold!

Though the young man of the Human Clan was in a tragic state, he raised his head proudly, gazing at the towering god that shook the heavens.

The gale persisted.

Whipping through Nu Ying's long ethereal ponytail, stirring the red ribbons into disarray.

She gently looked at the tiny human below, a hint of brilliance flashing in her eyes, and spoke slowly, "Not bad."

Strong enough, ruthless enough!

Decisive enough!

"Whoosh~" Surrounding the young man of the Human Clan suddenly appeared white feathers, swirling around him.

Nu Ying naturally recognized them as the Healing Techniques·Feathers of the Simurgh from the Heavenly Simurgh Clan.

Heavenly Grade·Feathers of the Simurgh once restored Yan Shuangzi's gouged-out eyes and severed arms, and could surely regenerate Lu Ran's limbs as well.

Nu Ying's shadow cast her gaze over the flying feathers, asking for the first time the name of the tiny human:

"What is your name?"

"Lu Ran, as in 'burning flame' Ran."

Lu Ran responded in a deep voice, the redness on his forehead quickly subsiding as new flesh continuously grew on his arms.

Nu Ying gently nodded, her calm words scattering across the heavens: "When do you plan to join me in battle?"

The feathers of the Simurgh danced around them, as the human and god met eyes.

Lu Ran was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Once I overthrow the rule of the powerful gods, unite the God Demon factions, I will lead a team to fight alongside you against the Faceless Jade Venerable."

Nu Ying turned around, watching the tornado gradually dissipate: "Don't make me wait too long."

"For now, don't reveal my name to the God Demons," Lu Ran suddenly said.

"Why?" Nu Ying slightly turned her head, glancing back.

Lu Ran simply shrugged his shoulders.

After a moment of thought, Nu Ying understood Lu Ran's possible concerns: "You still have attachments in the Human World."

"Yes."

"Then why did you reveal your identity to me?"

"I came to find you because I trust you," Lu Ran squeezed his newly regrown hands, "I want, from this moment until the future battlefield, to entrust my back to you."

Nu Ying's eyes burned as she slowly turned back, seriously looking at the human beneath her.

The remedy must match the ailment.

The Immortal Sheep said that Nu Ying is a pure warrior, longing for like-minded comrades.

"Alright," Nu Ying's response was firm and powerful.

[Cong Long, come out.] Lu Ran transmitted his voice mentally.

In the distance, from within the Phoenix Pattern on Yan Shuangzi's palm, emerged the Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd, spitting out a tiny figure—the Heavenly Realm body of Yu Changsheng.

As a Fake God, Yu Changsheng served the True God·Evil Shadow, equipped with both invisibility and the Instant Teleportation Technique.

With a flicker, he appeared beside Lu Ran.

Lu Ran slightly tilted his head, indicating his unparalleled strategist: "His name is Cong Long, he will accompany you back to the Divine Mountain, to assess the situation on the Southeast Front, in preparation for recruiting or slaying the God Demons."

Yu Changsheng gazed at the shadow of the goddess in the distance, clasping his fist and bowing: "Lady Nu Ying, greetings."

Nu Ying coldly glanced at Cong Long, resumed her expressionless demeanor, and turned to leave.

Yu Changsheng quickly bowed to Lu Ran: "Sect Leader, I'm heading out now."

"Take care, sir," Lu Ran advised.

Yu Changsheng chuckled: "My original body is inside your Gourd, quite safe."

With those words, his figure vanished without trace, turning back toward Nu Ying only to find the Lord God had not flown far but stood in front of the dispersing gray mist.

That's where the tornado dissipated.

Yu Changsheng flickered closer, seeing the sorrowful expression in Nu Ying's eyes as she lowered her head, looking at the Chi Ji Blade in her hand.

From afar came Lu Ran's voice: "What's wrong?"

Nu Ying's shadow, with her back to Lu Ran, spoke softly: "You disrupted me, twice."

Lu Ran remained silent.

While the Lord God remnant had many advantages, one of its few weaknesses was its poor survivability.

At the start of the battle, Lu Ran unleashed a tornado.

Approaching the end, he released another storm, which bloomed not far diagonally behind Nu Ying.

Once Nu Ying's shadow was disrupted, this Fourth Rank Divine Weapon would be isolated in battle and couldn't escape Lu Ran's deadly grasp.

"Human Clan, find a safe place," the shadow of Nu Ying spoke with a hint of apology, a touch of reluctance as her ephemeral fingers gently caressed the Chi Ji Blade.

Lu Ran's eyes widened slightly, beginning to sense something.

Was she going to relinquish the Divine Weapon Domain?

Undeniably, one person and one god have gathered here under the guise of vying for the Divine Weapon Domain.

But as the situation has developed to this point...

Suddenly, Lu Ran feels someone praying sincerely.

Who?

Is it Mr. Cong Long?

The Sculpture Garden is the foundation of the numerous Stone Sculptures and exists deeply in Lu Ran's mind.

So even if the Stone Sculptures are not in the garden, Lu Ran can still connect spiritually with the warriors and borrow the corresponding Divine and Evil Techniques from them.

Long ago, at Tianya Haijiao, Lu Ran conducted experiments in the depths of the sea.

[Sect Leader, don't lose your cool!] Yu Changsheng's words imprint in his mind, [The Domain of Silence must be kept in your hands, that's the most secure!]

Yu Changsheng was originally pondering how to provoke Lady Nu Ying, yet he didn't expect her to be like this... or perhaps, she intended it?

In this way, helping the Ran Sect unify the God Demon camp as quickly as possible?

Lu Ran remains silent, gazing up at Nu Ying's majestic back.

She is indeed very pure.

With her own unique pride.

[Sect Leader, time waits for no one... Hmm, let Lady speak to you, she's calling for you.] Yu Changsheng communicates again.

Lu Ran immediately connects spiritually with Jiang Ruyi: [What's wrong?]

[You'll return to Holy Spirit Mountain shortly, with the Silent Night Blade to comprehend the Domain of Silence. Don't let other Divine Weapons seize the domain.] Jiang Ruyi reminds.

Lu Ran nods quietly.

Although the probability is relatively small, who can say for sure?

Such an important Divine Weapon Domain, with immense strategic value, must not be neglected.

And Jiang Ruyi's subsequent words truly surprise Lu Ran: [I'll stay in the gourd with the warriors, carried by Evil Shadow, to slay God Demons.]

[Ah?]

[Our task is heavy, before the fifteenth of next month, we have many things to accomplish.]

Jiang Ruyi's tone is very determined, continuing: [You'll comprehend the Domain with the Silent Night Blade, it's uncertain how many days you'll need. Mr. Cong Long is right, time waits for no one.]

Lu Ran's brow furrows.

He has always led the fights against God Demons, never missing any battle.

And now, should Jiang Ruyi lead the charge against God Demons?

[Now the Ran Sect is strong, the warriors have all become gods, their power surging, absolutely able to contend against God Demons.] Jiang Ruyi's voice remains as cool as ever, Lu Ran can imagine her calmly pondering.

Undeniably, in the subsequent battles, Lu Ran's central position has indeed been shaken.

He even seems like a bystander in certain fights...

Unbeknownst to him, the Ran Sect has truly grown strong.

Seeing Lu Ran unresponsive, Jiang Ruyi communicates again: [With Cong Long, Nightmare, and Huangfu Tianjiang assisting me, rest assured.]

[Alright!] Lu Ran bites his teeth hard.

Fairy Jiang softly responds, instructing: [Just come once into the gourd, leave the remaining warriors in the Sculpture Garden to me.]

Lu Ran looks around, finds the appearing Evil Shadow Stone Sculpture, and flashes over, entering the belly of the small Blazing Phoenix.

At that moment, the Xian Mo Stone Sculpture is already waiting at the entrance.

She raises her huge stone hand, gently holding the tiny being.

Lu Ran stands on her fingertip, releasing one Stone Sculpture after another from his eyes, letting them fall into the Divine Power Lake below.

"Your clothes..." Jiang Ruyi furrows her brows slightly.

Some people really need to meet face to face.

Fairy Jiang's gentle voice is a thousand times softer than her cold communication.

"Just now, during the confrontation with Lady Nu Ying, my clothes were damaged." Lu Ran turns his back to Xiao Ruyi, skirting around the issue, "It's okay, the result was good."

As the last warrior falls, Lu Ran kneels halfway, his palm stroking her fingertip, admonishing:

"You must be careful! Always ready for wide-scale relocation, don't force... force... yourself."

At the end of his speech, Lu Ran stammers suddenly.

Only feels a terrifying pressure behind him, ruthlessly crushing down.

Lu Ran feels truly helpless.

Facing Lady Nu Ying before, despite her strength, he was full of fiery fighting spirit, able to grip his weapon tightly and tremble furiously.

But right now, his body and soul are trembling, completely without temper.

Carrying the tiny human clan with stone fingers, slowly moving horizontally, finally landing in front of the giant Divine Statue of the goddess.

"Evil Shadow just said you won, took Lady Nu Ying." Jiang Ruyi examines the little blood figure closely, "Didn't mention you... had Lady Nu Ying sever your arms?"

Lu Ran turns his head, patting her giant stone eyes, trembles, "It was my order, I am now perfectly fine, without any injuries.

Lady Nu Ying is already our ally."

Jiang Ruyi remains silent for a long time, whispers softly: "After you comprehend the Domain with the Silent Night Blade, before heading to Yan Paper God Mountain, inform me in advance."

"Okay." Lu Ran endures his heart pounding wildly, approaches, gently kissing her eyes.

This time, the Blood Crystal Mask has learned, timely moving aside.

A few seconds later, Lu Ran is sent out by the small Blazing Phoenix.

"Good fellow~"

Lu Ran smirks, and also opens a pair of Simurgh Eyes.

Xiao Ruyi's words indeed reminded him, he still has two tricks up his sleeve in the Mist Sea...

Lu Ran swiftly finds two severed arms, burns them clean with fire, leaving no trace.

Then he summons the Ancient Bronze Mirror, returning to Tianya Haijiao.
