"Heaven Mandate?" Yun Lintian spoke with puzzlement as he soon recalled a piece of information.

There was a realm known as the Heaven Mandate Realm, a distinctive place where people often held grand competitions. It was said that the Heaven Mandate Realm was supervised by a powerful spirit, and every competition being held there would be absolutely fair.

"Although there is no god emperor in the Heaven Mandate Realm, its status is unique. To be qualified for practicing the Heaven Mandate Art, one must have a pure heart." Yun Yi explained.

"Master told me that it is one of the few realms that is very likely to have existed since the Primordial Era."

He glanced at the woman and continued speaking. "Usually, people from the Heaven Mandate Realm wouldn't come out. Let alone venture to a dangerous place like this."

Yun Lintian immediately noticed a peculiar aura emanating from the woman. It exuded a sacred atmosphere, evoking feelings of reverence in people.

Without hesitation, Yun Lintian extended a green vine to envelop her body and began to heal her.

A few minutes later, the woman slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes. The first thing she discovered was that the pain in her waist had disappeared, along with the fatal wound.

She slowly rose from the ground and gave a deep bow to Yun Lintian and the others. "Thank you for saving my life. I will do my best to repay this debt of gratitude."

Yun Lintian invited her to take a seat as he spoke. "Don't mention it. Please have a seat first."

"Many thanks." The woman cupped her fists. She quickly sat down and began to carefully observe everyone.

"I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself." The woman smiled apologetically. "My name is Qin Chan. I come from the Heaven Mandate Realm."

She looked at Hongyue and asked curiously. "This senior must be from the Moon God Realm."

Hongyue frowned slightly. "Why did you come here?"

The woman, Qin Chan, didn't conceal anything. "A few months ago, my master received a vision from Lord Heaven Mandate Spirit. In the vision, he saw the forsaken land growing larger and beginning to engulf the Divine Realm."

"The laws and orders of the Divine Realm became chaotic, and many outsiders appeared one after another. Everyone in the Divine Realm was enslaved by them in the end."

She looked at Hongyue and continued speaking. "The Priestess of the Moon should have seen it as well."

Hongyue and the others were surprised. Yue Hua didn't seem to have told them about it.

Qin Chan spoke with a sad expression. "We came here to investigate the cause and find a way to prevent it… I am the only one left now."

"I'm sorry to hear this... I think you should go back." Yun Lintian said gently.

Qin Chan shook her head and spoke calmly. "I have to fulfill the mission assigned to me by my master."

Hongyue curled her lips. "Why doesn't he come here by himself? What's the point of sending a bunch of you over?"

She harbored prejudice against those who engaged in arbitrary fortune-telling and coerced others to follow. In her opinion, the Heaven Mandate Master was no different from Yue Hua. Both of them were equally irresponsible.

Qin Chan stood up and handed a white token to Yun Lintian. "This is my token. Please show this to my master. He will help me repay your kindness… Naturally, if I am still alive, I will definitely repay today's gratitude myself."

She bowed deeply and said. "I'll take my leave first."

With that, she soared into the air and vanished from the spot.

"Heh. You should let her die. She will throw herself away anyway." Hongyue sneered.

Yun Lintian glanced briefly at the token and asked. "What are your thoughts on the vision from the Heaven Mandate Spirit?"

Although Hongyue didn't like divination, it didn't mean she didn't believe in it. She thought for a moment and then said. "I have never met the spirit myself, but there is no harm in listening to it. Anyway, no one can accurately predict the future. And even if it's true, do we have a solution to it now?"

Yun Lintian shared the same opinion as hers. There was nothing he could do about it at the moment.

He sighed softly and said. "I really don't know why she has to throw her life away like this."

"You can't use common sense to judge them." Yun Yi spoke calmly. "They believe in the Heaven Mandate Spirit more than anything else."

Yun Lintian shook his head gently. He, of course, wouldn't judge anyone's beliefs. He just felt that she was simply wasting her life this way.

After resting well for an hour, Yun Lintian's group resumed their journey.

"Hmm?" As Yun Lintian's group continued to move towards the west for a few hours, they quickly noticed something.

At the edge of the darkness, a pair of red dots resembling a beast's eyes stared at them. It didn't emanate any malicious intent or aura.

Suddenly, Gui Xuan pointed his finger at the red eyes and said. "Friend."

"Friend?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.

Before he could react, Gui Xuan suddenly broke free from his embrace and flew towards the red eyes.

Yun Lintian's expression changed dramatically. He morphed into a shadow and appeared next to Gui Xuan.

"Stay here." Yun Lintian tightly grabbed Gui Xuan, preventing him from moving further.

Gui Xuan struggled slightly and said. "Friend… No harm."

Hongyue and the others quickly arrived next to Yun Lintian. They curiously looked at the red eyes. Surprisingly, they failed to perceive the actual appearance of the owner of the red eyes.

Yun Lintian was about to check it with the Eyes of Heaven, but the red eyes suddenly moved.

At that moment, a five-meter-long carp suddenly emerged from the darkness. Its appearance was no different from that of an ordinary carp, except for the fiery red pattern on its body.

However, Yun Lintian and the others could clearly sense its aura. This carp was actually a god emperor!

The carp stopped a few meters away from Yun Lintian's group. Its red eyes gradually turned into ordinary eyes as it stared at Gui Xuan in Yun Lintian's arms.

"A new generation of Black Turtle God?" The carp spoke in a female voice.

"Fish... Delicious." Gui Xuan spoke softly.

Yun Lintian was speechless. Didn't you just say it was a friend? How come you want to eat it now?
