The Mummy Deceit King's domain is absorbed by the evolving Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, which transforms into the Divine Deceit Butterfly. The butterfly possesses the Mummy Deceit King's power and grants faith to another silkworm, aiding its evolution. Ye Bai, planning for his own beasts' advancements, then seeks out the Snake Woman Deceit King, intending to negotiate with the Deceit Emperor behind her. He offers to help the Deceit Emperor ascend to true godhood in the Blue Star Great World in exchange for assistance in conquering the Deceit Realm.

"You must agree to three conditions I have."

"Furthermore, I pledge that upon our arrival in the Blue Star Great World, your safety will be my utmost priority. Should I fail in this, I will be forever barred from achieving Tier Nine Cultivation."

A Tier Nine Pet Beast Master holds a status comparable to a regional governor, making Ye Bai’s vow of eternal stagnation at Tier Eight a pact of considerable weight.

"Very well, given the gravity of your promise, I accept."

"However, when can you initiate this action at the earliest?" the Snake Woman Deceit King inquired, her voice laced with potent curiosity.

"My power is on the precipice of a breakthrough to the Deceit God level, yet I fear I cannot sustain this state for much longer."

"The moment those Deceit Gods detect my advancement aura, they will undoubtedly converge upon me."

"The thought of my Divine Format being plundered and my very essence suppressed within the Deceit Realm is not something I wish to endure."

Ye Bai engaged in calculation: "Understood. Would your clan require relocation from the Deceit Realm?"

The Snake Woman Deceit King conveyed a negative response with a shake of her head. "That is an impossibility. Such a large-scale movement would inevitably draw the Deceit Gods’ immediate attention."

"We must meticulously devise a plan, orchestrating a series of phased 'deaths' before secretly transitioning to another realm."

"I possess a Deceit King clone, which can temporarily depart this world undetected by other Deceit Gods."

The decision was not made lightly; the Snake Woman Deceit King had glimpsed potential future outcomes through her calculations.

"Very well. But before we proceed, I require a favor from you."

"I wish for you to escort me into the Yellow Springs Small World."

"This particular small world shares proximity with both the Deceit Realm and the Blue Star Great World, effectively bridging the two."

The Yellow Springs Small World?

"Indeed, this is feasible. Navigating through an intermediary world covertly significantly diminishes the probability of detection by the Deceit Gods."

"Agreed. I will fulfill this request."

"Do you require anything further from me?"

"This particular matter is too trivial to be counted as one of the three primary conditions," the Snake Woman Deceit King offered generously.

"Not at this moment, but I shall inform you should the need arise."

"On a related note, could you provide the intelligence you possess regarding the Deceit Gods? Would it be convenient for you to disclose it?"

Acquiring details about the Deceit Gods would undeniably equip Ye Bai with an additional crucial advantage.

"My knowledge is also limited. I am aware of an eight-armed Elephant God and the Underworld Eagle God, who commands the bizarre heavens. These are the Deceit Gods actively observed, with four others whose presence remains unseen," the Snake Woman Deceit King stated with genuine candor.

"Understood. I have processed the information you’ve shared."

"Now, I request that you guide me to the Yellow Springs Small World."

With a moment’s hesitation, the Snake Woman Deceit King replied, "I must make preparations. After all, I need to transfer my virtual Divine Country to the Yellow Springs Small World, and subsequently, relocate it to the Blue Star Great World."

"During this interval, familiarize yourself with the Deceit Realm alongside the Snake Woman Deceit King."

The Snake Woman Deceit King’s imposing aura vanished, and she reverted to her original serpentine form.

"You have undoubtedly overheard my conversation with the Deceit King."

"Henceforth, your Snake Woman Deceits shall meet their end in an organized fashion, with their essences secretly smuggled to the Blue Star Great World, where I shall personally arrange your new living accommodations."

"Here, accept this token of our newfound alliance."

Ye Bai presented a peculiar device to the Snake Woman Deceit King.

"This artifact is termed a tablet. It is capable of displaying visual dramas, which you may find entertaining for passing the time."

The Snake Woman Deceit King received it with palpable curiosity and soon became engrossed in its contents.

A question arose in her mind: What happens if the tablet ceases to draw power?

The Snake Woman Deceit King promptly resorted to manually recharging the tablet.

Ye Bai had thoughtfully pre-loaded the tablet with a substantial collection of television series, ample entertainment for the Snake Woman Deceit King’s leisure.

The Snake Woman Deceit King was overcome with profound excitement.

Exhibiting a bashfulness unfamiliar to her, a faint blush would appear whenever an attractive male character graced the screen.

"A deep sigh escaped Ye Bai. Could bringing the Snake Woman Deceit to the Blue Star Great World prove to be an imprudent decision? What if she begins to pursue the males there?"

Ye Bai mused aloud, voicing his concerns.

At that juncture, a subordinate of the Snake Woman Deceit King dutifully presented Ye Bai with a substantial tome detailing the history of the Deceit Realm.

The book’s cover was crafted from an exotic hide, possessing a remarkably smooth texture to the touch.

This ancient book had developed a sentience of its own, capable of effortlessly resolving Ye Bai’s queries regarding any peculiar phenomena he encountered.

He also came to understand that the Deceit King was merely a pawn, controlled by the more powerful Deceit Queen, operating solely for her agendas.

When a Deceit King met their demise, the Deceit Queen would invariably designate a successor.

Consequently, even if a mummified Deceit King were to perish, replacements were readily available.

Moreover, within this particular world, the Deceit Gods were incapable of procreation, their bodies inherently unable to bear offspring.

Consequently, the current Deceit Queens serve not as successors to the Deceit Gods, but as their designated sustenance.

Unbeknownst to them, time slipped away until the Snake Woman Deceit King, her expression grave, signaled Ye Bai that their journey to the Yellow Springs Small World was imminent.

"I truly can't fathom why you opted to enter Blue Star via the Yellow Springs Small World," the Snake Woman Deceit King remarked, hoisting a backpack. She seemed genuinely perplexed.

"It's because I need to evolve a Pet Beast and must seek opportunities within the Yellow Springs Small World for this purpose."

The Snake Woman Deceit King merely offered an "Oh," not particularly invested, her attention captivated by the visuals on her tablet.

"Whew, there's an astonishing lack of entertainment in the Deceit Realm, so we Deceit Queens indulge in the game of captivity."

"Initially, we didn't have grand intentions; it was purely out of boredom."

"With this tablet to occupy my time, I suspect I won't be bored for a considerable duration."

The Yellow Springs Small World was finally reached, its atmosphere thick with a peculiar, acrid scent.

This, they understood, was the signature fragrance of the Yellow Springs.

"This place might have once been a vast world, rent asunder by unforeseen events, thus becoming the smaller world it is now," Ye Bai mused.

"Should the Earth Star Great World manage to absorb the Yellow Springs Small World, its fundamental laws could potentially strengthen, leading to a more complete Blue Star Great World."

Ye Bai diligently stored the Snake Woman Deceit King's words in his memory.

At present, the Blue Star Great World was undergoing rapid expansion, necessitating the acquisition of more worlds for absorption to accelerate its advancement.

This Yellow Springs Small World possessed numerous unique characteristics, distinct from those found in the Deceit Realm; here, many of the strange entities were the spectral remnants of the deceased.

Examples included drowning ghosts, flame ghosts, and sword ghosts, among others.

The local Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm had produced a plump, alabaster offspring.

This new silkworm was observed diligently extruding silken threads as white as jade, which it then meticulously wound around a branch. The process resembled a high-speed printer tirelessly weaving, rapidly assembling a flag.

As the flag took form, numerous spectral beings began to drift closer, merging into its fabric.

"What in the world is going on?"

Even the well-informed Ye Bai found himself utterly bewildered.

The white flag swiftly transmuted, darkening to an almost purple-black hue. By this point, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm resumed its ceaseless spinning of silk.

"I can sense from your Pet Beast's silk that it contains properties capable of pacifying souls."

"The Undead will be drawn to the flag, becoming integrated into its very essence," the Snake Woman Deceit King elucidated.

"But wouldn't that pose a risk of the flag becoming overfilled?" Ye Bai inquired, curiosity piqued.

"Overfilled? What makes you think it would become overfilled?"

"Have you not observed your Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm perpetually spinning silk and weaving the flag?"

"Its inherent strength is intricately tied to the flag's integrity."

"If the flag reaches its capacity for souls, your Pet Beast possesses the ability to create another."

Gazing at the diligently toiling, obsidian-hued Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, Ye Bai couldn't help but deem it the most chillingly terrifying entity he had encountered.

"Very well, let that creature continue its work here."

"Let us proceed to explore the Yellow Springs Small World."

"With a bit of luck, we might uncover numerous treasures, perhaps fragments of collapsing great worlds, which undoubtedly hold immense fortune."

For the first time, the Snake Woman Deceit King set aside her tablet, dissolving into the void to commence her search for riches within this miniature world.

"Whew, finding treasures won't be simple, but based on my knowledge, the Yellow Springs River itself might well be the ultimate treasure of this world."
