"Your path is different from mine, and I do not wish to conspire. Uncle Tiger's kindness to me far outweighs yours. After all, you are the son of the Heavenly Emperor, burdened with many debts and sins that you must bear. However, before you die, I will arrange for you to marry Ruoxi, considering that you once treated me as a brother," Captain Wu said calmly. 0
 
The familiarity I once saw in his eyes had vanished. 0
 
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Prepare yourself for the Dark Abyss," Uncle Tiger began to cast dark magic on me. I felt tendrils of black mist swirling around, wrapping around me like thick ropes that bound me tightly. 0
 
I had no strength left to break free from the bindings. 0
 
At that moment, a fierce glint flashed in Uncle Tiger's eyes as he shouted a command. 0
 
The black threads lifted me off the ground, pulling me step by step toward the Dark Abyss. 0
 
My eyes widened in terror; once I entered the Dark Abyss, it would be over. 0
 
I secretly attempted to summon the power of the Heavenly Emperor but found that I couldn't muster any strength at all. A wave of fear washed over me as I realized that all my energy had vanished without a trace. 0
 
I stared wide-eyed at Uncle Tiger and Captain Wu. 0
 
They seemed to have guessed my thoughts and chuckled. "You should remember the drink you had," Captain Wu said. 0
 
My heart sank. Could there have been poison in that drink? But I had prepared it myself; that was impossible. 0
 
Captain Wu laughed heartily. "Wang Niu, how should I put this? You’re clever but also quite foolish. That drink was indeed prepared by you, but you forgot where its water source came from." 0
 
Upon hearing Captain Wu's words, realization struck me like lightning. The water source was from the Heavenly River—could it be? 0
 
A chill ran down my spine as I grasped the extent of their meticulous planning. 0
 
"Why are you doing this? If you want the position of Heavenly Emperor, I can give it to you, as long as you spare all beings in the three realms from suffering," I pleaded with them. 0
 
They seemed indifferent to my words and scoffed dismissively. "You truly are foolish. Do you really think we covet your position as Heavenly Emperor? No, we aim to rewrite the three realms, merging them into one world and transforming this place into a hell where only hell can thrive." 0
 
 
"You truly are demons," I said in astonishment as I looked at Uncle Tiger and Captain Wu. At that moment, I felt an illusion in my heart, as if the Captain Wu and Uncle Tiger I once knew had died, and the two before me were nothing but wicked demons. 0
 
"Heh heh, what of it? This was all mine to begin with. It was your father, the Former Celestial Emperor, who changed everything. Besides, you have been enjoying my possessions for quite some time now," Uncle Tiger replied. 0
 
"Uncle Tiger, I never expected you to be like this," I said, feeling a tinge of disappointment. 0
 
Uncle Tiger suddenly grew angry and shouted at me, "Shut up! This is all your father's doing. Did he ever think about how everything he did would come back to haunt his son?" 0
 
His words left me speechless; the Former Celestial Emperor had indeed wronged them. 0
 
Uncle Tiger was a victim in his own right, and I had no right to criticize his actions. Just as I was getting closer to the Dark Abyss, a beam of golden light appeared before me, breaking the restraints Uncle Tiger had placed on me. 0
 
"Who is it?" Uncle Tiger and Captain Wu immediately became cautious. 0
 
The light seemed unresponsive, continuously protecting me. In a moment of panic, I tried to muster all my strength to unleash the Divine Power within me to stop Uncle Tiger and Captain Wu. However, it felt as though the light was suppressing me, making it difficult to release my power, which only heightened my anxiety. 0
 
"Wang Jun, don't worry. I'm by your side," came Ruoxi's voice in my ear. I trembled; could this voice really be Ruoxi's? 0
 
I felt a surge of excitement in my heart. Just as I was about to speak to Ruoxi, she urged, "Wang Jun, don't say anything; otherwise, their vigilance will increase." 0
 
I immediately closed my mouth. Just as Uncle Tiger and Captain Wu were about to attack me, two bright orbs suddenly appeared behind them. 0
 
These orbs tightly surrounded Uncle Tiger and Captain Wu, instantly controlling them. 0
 
"What is happening?" A hint of panic flashed across Uncle Tiger's face. 0
 
"It seems someone has activated the Light Shield," Captain Wu's tone grew urgent. 0
 
Light Shield. 0
 
I was taken aback; only the descendants of Nüwa were qualified to wield such power. 0
 
"No way! How could the Light Shield appear here?" At that moment, Uncle Tiger's face turned pale, clearly drained of all energy by the Light Shield. 0
 
 
"Is it the Shield of the Future? What should we do, Uncle Tiger? It seems a descendant of Nuwa has appeared," Captain Wu said. 0
 
As soon as Captain Wu's voice fell, I saw another burst of light appear, directly imprisoning the two of them. 0
 
"Who are you?" Uncle Tiger and Captain Wu were trapped inside; this light was like a massive cage, tightly locking them in. Uncle Tiger began to scream in madness. 0
 
I was also curious about the descendant of Nuwa, but in the next moment, I was stunned. Could this descendant be Ruoxi? After all, she was the only one nearby just now. 0
 
Before long, I saw a familiar figure appear before me. 0
 
Slowly, this figure became more recognizable, and when I finally saw her face, I was completely taken aback. It really was Ruoxi. 0
 
"Ruoxi, you..." I was surprised. Logically speaking, Ruoxi should have been training below at this moment. How could she suddenly appear here? 0
 
"Wang Ju, I'm here," Ruoxi said to me with a bright smile. Then she walked over and extended her hand, transferring her Divine Power to me. 0
 
In an instant, a refreshing sensation enveloped my body, making me feel incredibly comfortable. 0
 
Before long, my Divine Power returned to me. 0
 
"Ruoxi, what's going on?" I looked at Ruoxi with confusion. 0
 
Ruoxi smiled and replied, "I'll tell you in a bit." 0
 
"Impossible! How can you be a descendant of Nuwa?" Uncle Tiger still looked deranged. 0
 
Ruoxi turned to Uncle Tiger, her expression turning cold as she said, "Hmph! How dare you treat the Heavenly Emperor like this? I will carry out Nuwa's punishment." 0
 
With that, Ruoxi raised her hands towards the sky. In an instant, a blinding beam of light was born in her hands; it was so bright that it stung everyone's eyes. 0
 
I instinctively closed my eyes. After a while, as the blinding light gradually dimmed, I saw that it had transformed into a lotus flower. 0
 
This lotus was unlike any ordinary one; it radiated a sacred glow, resembling a divine lotus. 0
 
The appearance of the lotus left both Uncle Tiger and Captain Wu dumbfounded; their faces grew increasingly pale. 0
 
"Impossible! If you are a descendant of Nuwa, why would you punish me? You should be punishing him instead!" Uncle Tiger exclaimed excitedly as he pointed at me. 0
 
Captain Wu echoed behind Uncle Tiger, "Hmph! You're being biased towards the Heavenly Emperor. If it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor's father, how could Uncle Tiger have ended up like this?" 0
 
 
Ruoxi quietly watched the two people for a while before turning to me and saying, "Actually, you all have it wrong, Wang Jun. He is not the son of the Heavenly Emperor; his father was a Celestial Sovereign, but unfortunately, he was secretly executed by the Heavenly Emperor. This is something you do not know." 0
 
As soon as Ruoxi spoke these words, everyone present was stunned. What was going on? 0
 
"What did you say?" Uncle Tiger became even more agitated. He looked at me, and I could see a flicker of complexity in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly, vanishing in an instant. 0
 
Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, Wang Jun, he is not the son of the Heavenly Emperor. Do you know about Ruoshui Immortal?" 0
 
Ruoxi's gaze remained fixed on Uncle Tiger. Upon hearing those three words, he trembled and said, "You... you mean he is the son of Ruoshui Immortal?" 0
 
Ruoxi replied earnestly, "Yes. You should know what kind of person Ruoshui Immortal was. At that time, he was highly respected across the Three Realms. He was a good friend of your mother, and I believe you are also quite familiar with Ruoshuxian. He helped your mother a lot when your father was about to register. Your father chose to simultaneously establish a Queen, but he did not want to recognize your mother. When Ruoshui Immortal learned of this, he initially did not want to intervene. However, considering all that your mother had done for the Three Realms, it would have been unfair to her. Therefore, he braved your father's anger and insisted on recognizing your mother. Yet your father still refused. In the end, it was only after Ruoshui Immortal sacrificed his own position that the Heavenly Emperor agreed." 0
