"The Divine Envoy has arrived!"

Suddenly, a chorus of shocked exclamations rose from the crowd, and countless gazes swept in unison toward the source.

The crowd parted to reveal a voluptuously graceful and stunningly beautiful woman walking toward them with measured steps.

She was clad in a gold-embroidered purple tight brocade robe, her three thousand strands of black hair styled into the shape of a long-calling phoenix, an undeniable aura of nobility emanating from her.

Her tranquil and beautiful visage was like a clear spring in a secluded mountain, inspiring reverence due to her noble status, yet irresistibly evoking an affectionate yearning.

That peerless face, like a flower fairy indifferent to worldly affairs, was filled with an enchanting ethereal quality. As her eyes moved, they held only an insouciant ease and an aloof dignity that seeped into the marrow.

It was none other than Yunyun.

Yunyun was not only a Divine Envoy, but her cultivation level was also unparalleled throughout history.

Even powerful Dou Emperor warriors like Gu Yuan could not withstand a single move from her.

That celestial countenance, akin to the Nine Heavenly Empress, was the perfect goddess in countless people's hearts.

Pure and sacred.

Untouchable.

All present bowed and said in unison, "Greetings to the Divine Envoy!"

Even individuals like Gu Yuan and Zhukun were no exception.

"There's no need for such formalities. Today is a grand day for worshipping our God. Let us welcome the arrival of our God with the utmost sincere attitude!"

Standing before the altar, Yunyun spoke a few brief words, then began to officiate the sacrificial ceremony, announcing, "Present the sacrifices!"

All kinds of Dou Qi manuscripts and rare treasures, long since prepared, were promptly brought up onto the altar, leaving everyone dazzled and unable to take it all in at once.

"Quick, look! That's a Different Fire!"

"Its mysterious yellow hue – that's the Xuanhuang Flame, ranked twenty-third on the Different Fire List!"

"Its color is deep red, with the faint shapes of myriad beasts emerging. It's the Beast Soul Fire, formed from the souls and bloodlines of all beasts, and is ranked twenty-second!"

"Black and white, two colors of flame entwined, moving just like yin-yang fish—that's the Yin and Yang Double Flame, twenty-first on the Different Fire List. It is born from the origin of yin and yang, brimming with the dual forces of life and death. The yang flame saves lives, perpetuating endlessly, while the yin flame kills, leaving not even bones behind."

"Hiss, surely the Divine Envoy hasn't collected all the Different Fires?"

"With the Divine Envoy's profound ability to influence nature and vast Divine Skills, what difficulty would there be in gathering all the Different Fires?"

"Indeed, indeed! Different Fires are but legends to us, yet for the Divine Envoy, they are nothing special!"

Numerous powerful beings engaged in fervent discussions, their eyes lit with excitement.

Although they could not possess them, just witnessing the legendary Different Fires of the world was enough to greatly satisfy their humble spirits.

Ranked twentieth on the Different Fire List: the Ghost Poison Fire.

Ranked eighteenth on the Different Fire List: the Wind Rage Dragon Flame.

Ranked seventeenth on the Different Fire List: the Volcanic Stone Flame.

Flame of Cloud and Water, Core Flame of the Sea, Falling Heart Flame, Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, Nine Dragon Thunderbolt Flame...

The array of Different Fires in various forms left everyone's hearts racing with excitement, an utterly enjoyable spectacle.

Suddenly, everyone's breath hitched. Their eyes went round with astonishment.

"This... Could this be the legendary Different Fire ranked third on the list, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Flame possessed the ability to purify all things. Anything it touched, even the slightest bit, would be purified into nothingness. It could even use a person's emotions as a lure to penetrate the body, purifying flesh, soul, and Dou Qi into nothingness. Its power was immensely terrifying.

This Different Fire was extremely rare in the world; only one of its kind existed. This was the first time any of them had laid eyes upon it. They felt as if the Dou Qi within their bodies could be purified into nothingness.

Everyone's hearts were shaken, their horizons broadened, and they awaited with faint anticipation the reveal of the second and first-ranked flames on the Different Fire List.

"The second-ranked flame on the Different Fire List, the Void Swallowing Flame, has appeared!" the crowd gasped, their eyes widening as they stared intently at the Void Swallowing Flame.

Born from the void, its shape elusive, its form ungraspable, it was an exceedingly strange existence. Known as something that could devour heavens and consume the earth, it possessed the ability to swallow all things. In the entire world, only a scant few things could withstand such consuming power.

"I wonder what the first-ranked Different Fire is!"

"Eh, how come it's not there?"

"Could it be that even the Divine Envoy can't locate the first-ranked Different Fire?"

Countless people waited for a long time but did not see any new Different Fire emerge, leaving them greatly puzzled.

Actually, the so-called first rank on the Different Fire List had no specific name. Whoever could break through the constraints, emerging from the cruel devouring of Different Fires, would earn the title of first rank on the Different Fire List.

Not seeing the first-ranked Different Fire, everyone felt a pang of disappointment.

But the next moment, that trace of disappointment was quickly replaced as, one after another, women of unsurpassed beauty gracefully walked onto the altar.

The woman in the lead wore a purple-gold dress upon which dragons and phoenixes danced as if alive, emitting an indomitable aura of nobility! Her delicate body was slender, and her purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, stretching over her slim waist and down to her pert derriere. The woman was immensely beautiful, with deep, purple-gold eyes that were mysterious and enchanting; under their gaze, it seemed the heavens and the earth themselves would submit!

She was Ziyan, daughter of Zhukun, the young lord of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan.

With the blessings of the God of Hongmeng and the help of Yunyun, Ziyan obtained sufficient energy and quickly grew from the appearance of a little girl into a mature beauty capable of bringing kingdoms to their knees.

"That's the young lord of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan! Already a Sage Dou! So powerful!"

"There's no helping it. Divine Beasts have bloodline talents; as long as the bloodline is noble, growth is incredibly fast!"

"Next, her bloodline will be further elevated by the grace of our God, allowing her to ascend to godhood in a single step!"

Countless eyes were filled with envy. The news of Yunyun's previous sacrifices had long since spread throughout the world; there were even preserved images, so now it was known to all. Medusa, Gu Xun'er, Ya Fei, Little Immortal Doctor, and even Yunyun's disciple Nalan Yanran had ascended to godhood.

Numerous factions and powerhouses were scheming to have some of their own people chosen, if possible.

For example, Huo Zhi from the Flame Clan, wreathed in the eighth-ranked Different Fire, the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, was seductively beautiful and was offered up for sacrifice alongside the Different Fire.

One after another, women of peerless beauty and grace approached, dazzling all onlookers.

"That's Feng Qing'er!"

"From the Heavenly Monster Phoenix Clan, with the Wind Thunder constitution, a cultivation talent that's both shocking and exceptional, personally taken as a closed-door disciple by the East Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder Pavilion."

The crowd looked toward the breathtakingly beautiful woman standing on the back of a giant, seven-colored crane, her colorful skirt fluttering, her figure graceful. She wore a short, multicolored skirt, which from afar, revealed an undeniable aristocratic air. Her cheeks were slightly delicate, a perfect oval face complemented by a pair of purplish-brown, gemstone-like eyes—beautiful and pure.

"That is... the enchantress Cao Ying from the Dan Tower's Cao Family!"

Cao Ying.

At age seven, she became an alchemist.

At fifteen, she was taken in as an inner disciple by the Dan Tower.

By the age of twenty, she had become a seventh-grade alchemist.

She was known as the "Enchantress of the Cao Family."

Her delicate body was tall and graceful, clad in a black dress that hinted at a touch of cold arrogance. Her skin was as white as snow, and her long black hair casually draped over her fragrant shoulders. Her cheeks were slightly delicate but extraordinarily exquisite, like porcelain, inspiring an endless desire to cherish her.

Standing on the altar, she gazed out. Her narrow, slightly languid eyes exuded a seductive charm. As many people present were mesmerized by her allure, a faint smile slowly touched the corners of her lips. Her lazy eyes swept leisurely across the square, and anyone caught by her gaze felt a surge of heat and wariness in their hearts. Indeed, the charm of this woman was extremely tempting, but beneath that allure lay a deep-seated wariness that reached the bone.

Of course, as a Sacred Girl offering sacrifices to the Divine Spirit, the people present dared not look too long; even the slight warmth that had risen in their hearts was instantly extinguished.

Following Cao Ying, the sisters Han Xue and Han Yue of the Han Family also attracted much attention. Especially Han Yue, who was tall and slim; her slightly delicate face was nonetheless that of a rare beauty, with skin as fair as snow and eyebrows like paintings. What was most astonishing was her waist-length hair, which was an unusual silver, matching her silver dress perfectly. It gave her an aura of cold detachment, as if she were to be admired from a distance but not trifled with.

When this graceful figure ascended the altar, the atmosphere in the area seemed to still for a moment due to her presence.

Following her, Mu Qingluan from Starfall Pavilion, Flamingo Lily from Burn Valley, and others also caught everyone's attention, evoking a myriad of feelings.

With Ziyan, Mu Qingluan, and other Sacred Girls ascending the altar, enemies whose cultivation levels had been sealed were brought up one after another.

"That's the Soul Clan!"

"It is said that Soul Hall is a subordinate power to the Soul Clan!"

"Correct! It's said that the Soul Clan leader, Soul Heavenly Emperor, is also a powerhouse at the peak of Nine Star Dousheng!"

"Look, that's Soul Heavenly Emperor!"

By now, the Soul Clan and even the Ancient Eight Clans were no longer secrets to the crowd. But the mysterious Soul Clan still piqued everyone's curiosity.

At that moment, the Soul Clan was the center of everyone's attention, especially Soul Heavenly Emperor, at the peak of Nine Star Dousheng.

Soul Heavenly Emperor, his face cold, listened to the discussions around him, his eyes filled with unwillingness. If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the God of Hongmeng, how could he have been captured? He was Soul Heavenly Emperor, the one who was to become Dou Emperor and unify the continent!

Gu Yuan looked at his former arch-nemesis, who was also his greatest opponent and someone he had once greatly feared. "Soul Heavenly Emperor, long time no see!"

Soul Heavenly Emperor retorted, deeply resentful, "Gu Yuan, I didn't lose to you! If it weren't for the God of Hongmeng, do you think you could have become a Dou Emperor?" Gu Yuan had never been his match, yet now even he had become a Dou Emperor.

"How hateful!" Soul Heavenly Emperor exclaimed in frustration. "The heavens do not favor me, Soul Heavenly Emperor!"

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, his voice indifferent. "What is Heaven? Our God is Heaven!"

Soul Heavenly Emperor said with disdain, "You, who became a Dou Emperor by sacrificing your daughter, have nothing to be proud of!"

Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, thinking of Gu Xun'er ascending to God's kingdom and his own ascension to Dou Emperor, he felt elated and responded defiantly, "I sacrificed my daughter and I'm proud of it! So what!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan's wailing voice rose, "Master Yun, please don't kill me! I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special..."

After this period of imprisonment, Xiao Yan was no longer the proud individual he once was; he had reverted to the timid, death-fearing loser of his past life. There is great terror between life and death. He didn't want to die! As for 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'—to hell with all that! He couldn't see a glimmer of hope. The God of Hongmeng was too terrifying, enough to drive anyone to despair.

「In the chat group.」

The Upper God's Dog Son: "Damn, Sister Yun is really awesome! Xiao Yan has been completely wrecked by you!"

Demon Gate Yinhou: "Dog Son, I suspect you're driving (being suggestive), but I don't have the evidence!"

Huashan Sect Master: "Old Driver is online! This old man can't handle this excitement!"

Martial Ancestor: "Weak, pitiful, helpless, shivering!"

Yunyun ignored the messages in the chat group. She bowed toward the altar and proclaimed:

"I, Yunyun, today offer the blood of our enemies to the supreme God of Hongmeng!"

Her voice was passionate, clear, and powerful. "Bring up the sacrifices!"

Gu Yuan personally dragged Soul Heavenly Emperor to the altar. Yun Shan did the same with Xiao Yan. The other powerhouses of the Hongmeng Divine Sect brought up the experts from the Soul Clan, the Heavenly Dark Sect, the Yellow Spring Pavilion, and other factions.

Yunyun ordered, "Kill!"

Gu Yuan and the others did not hesitate.

"No!"

"BOO HOO..."

"Someone save me..."

With swift, decisive strokes, one large head after another rolled to the ground, blood spraying onto the altar.

The crowd was horrified. These were Dou Lords and even Sage Dous, once awe-inspiring powerhouses who ruled their respective realms. And now...

Before they could dwell on it, Yunyun's voice echoed in everyone's ears, "The sacrifice has begun!"

"Great God of Hongmeng, You are the God of Creation, the God of Nature, the creator and ruler of all things in the universe..."

All present knelt to the ground, praying along with Yunyun.

As Yunyun prayed, the sky began to change.
