A month passed in the blink of an eye.

The snow crisis also calmed down.

Without Gu Xing's leadership, each guardian beast chose its own way to alleviate the longing for Gu Xing.

The once battlefield center is no longer a vast snowy plain—

The power of life released by Vera spread like a tide, dyeing this land a rich emerald green.

She stood in the center of greenery, countless vines surged out around her, like snakes and dragons, relentlessly attacking the Insect Emperor's broken giant pincer.

Every time the vines got close, they were instantly shattered by the remaining destructive aura of the giant pincer.

But Vera did not stop, new vines broke out of the ground again, stubbornly facing the force of annihilation.

This severed pincer, after all, had lost the original support of the Insect Emperor, and under Vera's day and night assaults, finally, some sporadic vines penetrated the barrier, touching the surface of the giant pincer, greedily absorbing the remaining energy.

All the power absorbed was transformed by her into pure life essence, continuously injected into her reincarnation skill.

A hint of pain and guilt flashed in her eyes—

If only she were strong enough back then to instantly eliminate all the Insect Race, she would never have left her master's side, nor would she have let him disappear…

Vera clenched her fists tightly, and the energy around her surged again.

She knew clearly that the reincarnation skill was her greatest reliance.

Only by exhausting everything to tap into its potential could her strength achieve a leap forward in growth.

Next time…

When she reunites with Gu Xing—

She will have enough power to guard by Gu Xing's side.

And Vera is not the only one with such thoughts.

Deep within the Ghost Race, Yu looked at the determined Qing Shuang in front of him with a hint of bitterness on his face.

"Qing Shuang, you don't need to enter the forbidden land of the Ghost Race, your current strength is only Monarch Tier One, and your talent has already surpassed mine. If you just follow the routine…"

"Your future achievements will not only surpass your father, but even surpass me, becoming the greatest Ghost King in the history of the Ghost Race!"

"Moreover, your master might be returning soon, there is no need for us to risk entering the forbidden land!"

However, Yu's words did not shake Qing Shuang's determination at all.

"Grandfather, there's no need to say more, I've made up my mind!"

Even though Qing Shuang had said the words he had longed to hear, Yu could not be happy at all.

The forbidden land of the Ghost Race connects to another unknown and dangerous world.

Yu once arrogantly explored deep within, and the deeper he went, the more terrifying the power of the Demon Race became.

In the end, he even encountered a group of totem-level Demon Clan and had to retreat in disarray.

Previously, Qing, who lived in the forbidden land, survived only because she was at the very edge of that world.

And now…

Qing Shuang plans to enter the forbidden land and head toward the center of that world.

To enhance her strength through battle.

Although, in battle, the Ghost Race indeed can exert its maximum capabilities.

However…

In the forbidden land, one careless mistake can lead to eternal doom.

Thinking of this, Yu turned to the silent Qing beside him and spoke urgently:

"Qing, persuade your daughter!"

Qing turned his head to see Qing Shuang and saw the unyielding determination in her eyes.

The words of dissuasion instantly stuck in his mouth.

From Qing Shuang's eyes, he saw himself.

He was once the same…

Otherwise, he would not have emerged from all the Ghost Race and married the Clan Leader's daughter.

Thinking of this, Qing fell silent.

After a long while, he spoke slowly:

"Clan Leader, let Qing Shuang go! Her character is exactly like mine back then, we can't stop her!"

Qing Shuang, hearing Qing's words, gave Qing a grateful look.

Afterwards, she solemnly bowed to both Qing and Yu and then resolutely entered the forbidden land.

Yu watched her disappear into the depths of darkness, his eyes gradually reddening.

He suddenly turned to Qing, still in a daze, unable to suppress his emotions:

"My daughter has already been sacrificed. If anything happens to Qing Shuang, I will banish you from the Ghost Race!"

After shouting this, Yu decisively turned and left.

Qing remained standing there for a long time before turning away somewhat dejectedly.

After the two left, a profound void tear silently appeared.

Fei Yue stepped out slowly from the rift, standing silently in front of the now-sealed forbidden land entrance.

She gazed at the thoroughly sealed door, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

During this time, she and Qing Shuang had searched almost every corner of the world yet could not perceive the slightest trace of Gu Xing.

It was only at this moment that she truly understood the meaning of Lilith's words—

The master may indeed have gone to another world.

And this is precisely why her sister resolutely stepped into the forbidden land of the Ghost Race, determinedly pursuing another world.

Fei Yue took a deep breath, as if exhaling all hesitation and reliance.

"Sister… all this time, I've been living under your protection."

"By your side, I've never truly grown independently."

"This time, you've chosen to enter the forbidden land—and I am no longer willing to hide under anyone's wings."

Her voice was solemn as a vow, echoing in the silent void:

"I swear—by the day we reunite, the Fei Yue you see will be a completely new one!"

During this time, the enemies Gu Xing faced grew stronger, yet she felt her strength gradually falling behind him.

She was unwilling… to let this continue.

Fei Yue suddenly raised her head, locking her gaze on a certain spot in the sky—

A faint yet familiar void ripple lingered there.

Since both the Insect Race and Ghost Race can control the void.

By following this remaining void aura for exploration, she would definitely be able to grow!

Meanwhile.

Tushan Yueli had already arrived in Longxia Country.

Apart from being renowned for control and sealing, the Qingqiu Race has another trait that resonates throughout the otherworld.

That is leadership skills!

The Qingqiu Race can lead almost ten thousand races, relying on their ultimate leadership capabilities.

At this moment, Tushan Yueli has been entrusted with a significant responsibility by Long Zhenguo, overseeing the overall affairs of Longxia Country.

"Yueli girl, thank you for your hard work!"

Long Zhenguo looked at the serious Tushan Yueli and sighed.

But Tushan Yueli shook her head and slowly spoke:

"No, Gu Xing saved the Qingqiu Race, and Longxia Country took us in, it's only right that I contribute a bit!"

However, at the mention of Gu Xing, the atmosphere between the two fell silent once again.

For a long time, Long Zhenguo took a deep breath, suppressing his concern, and comforted gently:

"Yueli girl, that boy Gu Xing… won't come to harm so easily."

"What we need to do now is to seize the third divine mark and wait quietly for his return!"

His gaze slightly condensed, looking at the faintly visible light column of the Secret Realm in the distance, he spoke solemnly:

"Now the restriction of the third Divine Secret Realm has opened, yet it remains inaccessible, and we don't know why."

"What we can do now is to prepare as much as possible!"
