When everyone initially departed, Old Qilin and Gu Ping exchanged some words, but no one heard the content of their conversation, and Gu Ping did not provide any explanation. After boarding the spaceship, Gu Ping handed Xiazhi a strange stone—uneven and lacking in aesthetic appeal. It seemed like a random piece picked up without care. 0
 
No one knew what it was, but Old Qilin mentioned it could be used to contact Spirit Home, a unique method known only to Keke, the Demon Spirit. None of them had ever seen that thing before; they fiddled with it but couldn't figure out how it worked. 0
 
No Time Sand and Yoyo were having fun together. One looked like a fox while the other resembled a cheetah, yet both had manes and silver-red markings all over their bodies. It was hard to determine what to call them. The World of Mortals certainly did not have such peculiar creatures. Bu Luo found it strange, perhaps because Keke had never seen anything like it before. It reminded everyone of the Shaya Spirit; when they first encountered it, they thought it was nothing short of a killing machine. However, Bu Luo no longer felt that way after getting used to it. 0
 
In a broad sense, Yoyo belonged to the Fox Clan, which could also be considered a type of Demon Spirit. However, due to the Fox Clan's strength, the entire race had separated from the Demon Spirits and even from the beastly demons. 0
 
The reason why they referred to it as the demon race was that there once existed an emperor who unified all beasts in Tiandong. At that time, the world was dominated by demons, spanning from the heavenly realm to the World of Mortals and even to the Ninth Underworld. 0
 
Later on, as humanity rose and demons fell, the Demon Emperor perished, leading to the fragmentation of the demon race. The Fox Clan took advantage of this opportunity to rise, stepping over countless corpses of both demons and humans in what became known as the Cultivation World’s most brutal rule. 0
 
Originally, the Fox Clan was governed by the Spirit Tribe led by Qilin. With the emergence of the Nine-Tailed Fox's power during the Great War between humans and demons, the Fox Clan gained significant advantages. This forced the Qilin clan to acknowledge that the Fox Clan was indeed a separate race. Other clans like Wolf Clan and those with powerful cultivators among Demon Spirits no longer took orders from the Qilin clan. Coco was also a Demon Spirit and one of the reasons for the decline of the demon race. 0
 
At that moment, Yoyo and Time Sand were playing joyfully on the spaceship's deck. They rolled around, grabbing each other playfully. Bu Luo watched in astonishment as Gu Ping witnessed this scene unfold. 0
 
Time Sand initially intended to tease Yoyo by using her innate ability to briefly freeze time around Yoyo but soon realized that her talent simply did not work on foxes. 0
 
Gu Ping stood at the railing watching the two little demon beasts play nearby when suddenly, their spaceship passed through a patch of pristine red clouds, making everyone feel as if they were in a fairyland. At that moment, Time Sand managed to stop time around Yoyo; Gu Ping could distinctly feel everything change—even the clouds that were originally retreating came to a halt. 0
 
However, Yoyo seemed completely unaffected; she gently extended her paw and swiped at her surroundings, restoring everything back to normal as if Time Sand had done nothing at all. That was somewhat terrifying. 0
 
Gu Ping had searched for information about Pure World Fox in Gu Ping Academy; although rare, he found scattered biographies and records in odd chronicles that provided some relevant details. 0
 
 
Among the most frequently mentioned is the Pure World Fox. No one knows where it comes from, but it is said that every time a great evil emerges, this legendary creature will appear, exhaling the Pure World Demon Fire to burn away all sins. However, this act often accompanies the loss of countless lives, leading some to believe that the Pure World Fox embodies both the omen of evil and the sins it brings. 0
 
At this moment, Gu Ping seemed to have turned red for some reason. The power to completely disregard the control of time was overwhelming. Once the Pure World Fox grows up, will it become even more powerful, much like the Demon Spirit of Time Sand that inherently controls time? This could explain why the Pure World Fox always appears out of nowhere—could it be that it directly crosses the river of time? 0
 
"What are you thinking about?" Xiazhi approached and asked, noticing Gu Ping's dazed expression. Her face wore an ever-present smile. 0
 
"I don't deny," Gu Ping replied with a laugh. "Every day can make me happy, right?" He did not answer Xiazhi's question but turned to look at the Clouds nearby, never having imagined that one day he would truly fly in the sky, his legs clutching at the Clouds. 0
 
Isn't living just about seeking happiness? I don't deny that it can be tiring to live every day. 0
 
But doesn’t he think that being like this would be even more exhausting? 0
 
Well, once you get used to it, you won’t feel anything wrong with it anymore. 0
 
But what about before? Was it always like this? 0
 
How could it always be like this? People inevitably seek to experience certain emotions and then make some changes, don’t they? I don't deny that. 0
 
What about before? The things I said seemed reasonable to him, but somehow I felt I had disappointed him. 0
 
The two continued their conversation without glancing at Mistake. Even though they stood beside each other, there felt like a vast mountain separating them—one standing atop a peak looking down while the other gazed up from Shandong. 0
 
Those words I don’t deny were spoken by a senior brother; he also found them quite reasonable. Bu Luo couldn’t handle it. 0
 
Suddenly, Gu Ping felt a shiver run through him. There are always those who choose what they believe is worth pursuing but end up not knowing how things originally were. 0
 
 
He really is foolish. 0
 
He thought so too, but he also wanted to imagine himself as foolish as he was. Yet, he couldn't do it; it wasn't that he couldn't do it, but rather that he didn't want to do it. He always hoped someone would complete the tasks left undone by fools like him. 0
 
Do you need help? 0
 
Gu Ping looked at Xiazhi. He felt that Keke represented an opportunity, a real chance to touch the light. Those doors that returned empty would not let him pass by, and the loss of that brilliant light made him grit his teeth in frustration. He knew that sooner or later, the news of his existence would be noticed by someone. Gu Ping was clear about this, so he sought to prepare himself well. 0
