Phoenix Ni hovered quietly in the air, her crimson-gold phoenix eyes showing not the slightest ripple of emotion.

When Liu Li's words, "The master is dead," reached her ears, there was not a trace of expression on her exquisite face.

Instead, there was a very faint and almost imperceptible sense of...

Indifference.

She did not believe it.

If their master had truly fallen so easily at the hands of the Demon God, with his soul utterly dissipated...

Then who was it that had saved her from near death back then and made a pact with her?

As one of the oldest beings in the Alternate Space.

The secrets she knew were far more ancient than the Dragon Emperor's.

She was naturally aware of the unbelievable power wielded by the Savior who had once single-handedly turned the tide...

And forcibly sealed the Demon Abyss.

Even though it wasn't his heyday now, how could he fall so easily?

"Is your master truly dead?"

Phoenix Ni's voice remained calm and ethereal, devoid of any emotion, simply repeating the question.

But this simple repetition was like a stone tossed into still water, suddenly stirring a barely perceptible ripple in Liu Li's deathly still heart.

Liu Li suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.

This Emperor-level Fierce Beast, a being on par with the Demon God...

Why inquire so persistently?

Could it be... she knew something?

Was it possible that the master...

An almost unthinkable thought suddenly filled her mind!

Wait a minute!

She suddenly realized something, her spirit sharply invigorated!

She quickly scanned her surroundings, anxiously sweeping over every inch of space!

Where is Sally?!

Where is the little cat girl who was next to the master earlier, wielding the Power of Time?!

Why has she not been seen since just now?!

Vera, beside her, also instantly came to her senses, spreading her Spiritual Power swiftly, meticulously probing the surroundings.

Nothing!

Absolutely no trace of Sally! It was as if she had vanished into thin air!

"Sally... is missing?"

The two exchanged a quick glance, seeing the same shock in each other's eyes...

And a sudden, rising, frenzied hope!

They clearly remembered that before the master met with an accident, Sally was right by his side!

Everything that happened afterward occurred too quickly; they were devastated with grief...

But now, thinking back, Sally's disappearance was too bizarre!

In addition, the earlier furious, as if fooled, demeanor of the Demon God Abyss...

A bold, almost absurd assumption uncontrollably surged from the bottom of their hearts!

Could it be...

The master hadn't truly died?!

Was it possible that at the last moment, Sally used the Time Law to save the master?!

This idea was completely unfounded, entirely based on the intuition of the two.

But for Liu Li and Vera, who were about to drown, it was undoubtedly the only lifeline they could grasp!

With almost no hesitation, they instantly chose to believe this hypothesis and regarded it as the truth!

Yes!

This had to be it! The master definitely wasn't dead!

He was just taken to some unknown, safe place by Sally!

He will definitely return!

This thought was like a stimulant, instantly injected into the hearts of the two Guardian Beasts, reviving them from exhaustion!

Their eyes' deathly stillness and numbness quickly faded, replaced by reignited hope!

Since the master was not dead, what they had to do now...

Was protect everything he cherished, no matter the cost, before he returned!

The two suppressed their excitement, turned to the nearby Phoenix Ni, and bowed deeply with utmost respect:

"Thank you, my lady, for saving us! This kindness will never be forgotten!"

Their gratitude was heartfelt.

Not just because of the other's unfathomable strength.

But also because she drove away the Demon God at the most critical moment, saving the entire Human Race.

And also telling them the truth that their master had not died.

But Phoenix Ni showed no reaction to their gratitude, as if what she did was a trivial matter.

Her golden eyes glanced faintly over the scarred Human Race city below, her figure slightly swayed, and she instantly disappeared from where she stood.

The next moment, her figure silently appeared atop the tallest tower at the city's center, as if she belonged there all along.

In the sky, only a faint sentence was left behind.

"If the Demon God descends again, I will intervene."

"But if some Totem-level Demon Race arrive, you will need to handle it yourselves."

"From now on, I will reside in this Human Race city. Do not disturb me unless necessary."

Upon seeing Phoenix Ni enter the city, Bai Li immediately turned and glared at Long Zhenguo and the others.

Then she also turned into a streak of white light, quickly following Phoenix Ni's figure and disappeared into the depths of the city.

In the sky, Long Zhenguo, Verocan, Wei Yuan, and the others looked at each other, still somewhat incredulous.

A world-shaking crisis that could have led to the extermination of the Human Race was...

Dissipated so easily?

An Emperor-level Fierce Beast actually chose to station herself in the Human Race city?

The changes happened too quickly, too dreamlike, leaving them struggling to recover, as if still in a dream.

But no matter what, the crisis was temporarily resolved!

The Human Race gained a precious moment to catch their breath!

They quickly flew to the area where Liu Li, Vera, and the others were, their faces filled with urgency.

Seeing this, the Snow Woman immediately stepped forward, standing in front of the weakened Liu Li and Vera.

She looked calmly at Long Zhenguo, her tone clear and quick:

"Everyone! Liu Li and Vera are severely injured, and their essence has been depleted. I must treat them immediately; there is no time to delay!"

"All questions, please wait until I stabilize their injuries!"

She paused slightly, her ice-blue eyes sweeping over the people.

Then, in an authoritative tone, she spoke again:

"However, there is one thing I can definitely tell everyone right now..."

"Lord Gu Xing is not dead! He has just temporarily left!"

"I believe it won't be long before he returns!"

This news was something she was told by Liu Li and Vera when she approached them earlier.

And at this moment, when the Human Race's morale was at its lowest and they most needed hope, she didn't hesitate to announce it publicly!

Sure enough!

As soon as these words were spoken, a tremendous uproar ensued!

The gloom and despair on the faces of Long Zhenguo, Verocan, Wei Yuan, Lei Zhan, and others were instantly dispelled, their eyes once again shining with astonishing brilliance!

As long as Gu Xing was alive, the Human Race had their greatest hope and backbone!

"Good! Good! That's fantastic!"

Long Zhenguo repeated the word "good" three times, his excitement evident, and he immediately issued a decisive order:

"Snow Woman, whatever herbs, resources you need, just speak up!"

"I will immediately mobilize all of the Human Race's stock, at any cost, it's imperative to heal them as quickly as possible!"

"We must get them back to full strength before Gu Xing returns!"
