After Wu Xiaode left.

The beach.

The ants eventually died.

Under the scorching sun, their bodies became a charred mess.

The fish turned into dried fish.

Only the crab and the hyena remained.

The crab seemed utterly clueless about what it should do as a crab.

It climbed up the rock where Wu Xiaode had inscribed words.

The rock absorbed the warmth of the sun, and soon the crab turned a different color.

That's right.

It was cooked too.

Only the hyena was left.

It stared with wide eyes, seemingly unable to believe what it was seeing.

——I was just a little follower!

Why did I become a dog while all the big bosses turned into ants, fish, and crabs?

And then——

Even more unbelievable things happened!

With a series of "pah-pah-pah-pah" sounds, eight or nine treasures radiating colorful hues suddenly appeared on the ground.

All of them were dropped by the bosses after their death!

The hyena's brain froze for a while before it finally reacted.

These treasures are all mine now!

Kidding!

With so many treasures, dominating the entire island shouldn't be a problem, right?

The hyena thought confidently.

But in the next second, it encountered a brand-new problem.

——I'm a dog now!

As a dog, how can I carry away so many treasures?

The hyena looked at the things on the ground with frustration.

...

On the other side.

"What a pity," Wu Xiaode said regretfully.

"I told you, once you've abandoned the gains from the paradise world, you must not interfere in its affairs again, or you'll be punished," Nan Li said.

"Alright," Wu Xiaode shrugged, "It's quite disappointing to have so many Evil Demons dead, and yet I gained nothing."

"Move forward, the new phase of the pilgrimage is about to begin," Nan Li said.

All the lights ahead shifted to the sides.

Wu Xiaode descended, landing on solid ground.

He suddenly felt dizzy, almost unable to stand, supporting himself against a wall and finally recovering after a while.

"I can't stand this, how could something like this happen."

Wu Xiaode muttered to himself.

——Just now, a new memory appeared in his mind.

Fuyun Sect.

The second-ranked genius disciple, Fang Yuming.

This person originally had exceptional talent and amazing cultivation conditions, admired by all, but within just a few years, he would be stripped of his cultivation, expelled from the sect, and die tragically outside.

Now, I am Fang Yuming.

Soon, Fang Yuming's fate will slide into a tragic abyss.

——I am Fang Yuming now!

"Nan Li, what's the situation?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Successfully saving 'Fang Yuming' once will activate this round's pilgrimage trial," Nan Li said.

"The trial hasn't been activated yet?" Wu Xiaode asked.

In this way, it resembles the paradise; without identity at the beginning, one cannot join the pilgrimage trial.

However——

"Does every combatant entering this time-space know they need to change a character's fate?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"No, you have the 'Dry Well' card, which is why I gave you the hint."

"And only I can lead you to find the second pilgrimage card."

Wu Xiaode snapped his fingers:

"Got it."

Nan Li's voice echoed in his ear:

"The first event to change Fang Yuming's fate is about to occur, countdown begins at ten seconds!"

Wu Xiaode slightly closed his eyes, carefully organizing his memories.

Seems like…

This kid is a sycophant indeed.

His tragic life began from fawning.

——Fang Yuming must not meet such an end!

"Time's up!"

Nan Li's voice faded away.

The surroundings gradually became vivid and real.

Wu Xiaode opened his eyes, finding himself sitting cross-legged on a cushion in a spacious, bright Taoist hall, listening to an elder teaching along with many other disciples.

"Today's Fire Separation Skill lecture ends here. You should all complete your homework diligently. Do you understand?"

The elder on the lectern said.

"Yes!" All the disciples replied in unison.

"Alright, it's also lunchtime, go on." The elder said.

After speaking, he transformed into a stream of light, flying out of the Taoist hall, destination unknown.

Someone patted Wu Xiaode on the shoulder.

"Second Senior Brother, today Elder Wang's lecture on the Fire Separation Skill was too profound, I didn't really understand it."

Wu Xiaode smiled, said nothing.

Thinking back, Fang Yuming indeed often helped clear doubts for many junior brothers and was quite respected in the sect.

He came from a family with great cultivation heritage, with extraordinary insight, talent, and comprehension.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the bronze mirror in front of the lectern.

——The appearance of this body is still quite handsome.

A good hand.

"Where didn't you understand? Tell me, I'll explain it to you."

Wu Xiaode said with a broad smile.

Now I am Fang Yuming; for ordinary matters, I need to act according to previous habits.

This way, when I do something a little unusual, others might be surprised but won't be too suspicious.

The disciple's eyes lit up, and he saluted: "Thank you, Senior Brother. It was the second handprint Elder explained…"

The surrounding disciples didn't leave either; they all gathered around Wu Xiaode, wanting to hear his guidance.

With a bit of thought, Wu Xiaode began to explain.

He had all the memories of Fang Yuming, from birth to tragic death, so speaking of it now was naturally of no difficulty.

He was originally the heir to the Human Emperor's Teachings and had received Sarina's legacy, often facing Evil Demon Level opponents.

——Various Taoist skills and combat skills of all beings, he had long since mastered them completely.

At this point, he discussed the fundamental magic of the Fire Separation category, eloquently speaking, thoroughly explaining the entire magic.
