As the Gun God's Skeleton began to awaken, seventeen factions rushed to claim it. Zhao Sheng severed a bone pillar, only to be frozen by a chilling intent and disappear into the skeleton. Lu Qing, attempting to seize the pillar, was instead shattered by the Five Zhas, who devoured his true body and took the pillar. Zhao Sheng survived due to a clone, and he and the Five Zhas joined the ensuing battle for the skeleton's remains.

As Jixian braced for the incoming sea calamity, Zhao Sheng, contemplative within the Five Elements Cave Heaven, experienced a sudden surge of inspiration, prompting a pivotal action.

Within the expanse of his Purple Mansion Soul Sea, a vast, tranquil water surface shimmered with a gentle luminescence, appearing to hold immense and formidable spiritual power.

At this opportune moment, Zhao Sheng materialized silently above the soul sea, his gaze fixed upon the ethereal waters below.

With a mere wisp of thought, the Hundred Generations Book ascended from the sea's depths, gracefully drifting towards him.

Beneath the esteemed Hundred Generations Book lay a distinctive, fractured brush – the Quasi-Dao Artifact, known as the Life and Death Pen.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes gleamed, and he swiftly extended his hand, grasping the Life and Death Pen.

Concurrently, the pages of the Hundred Generations Book fluttered, turning eight leaves before settling upon the ninth.

In the subsequent instant, Zhao Sheng, now wielding the Life and Death Pen, touched its tip to the book's page. With strokes that mimicked the dance of dragons and snakes, he inscribed a grand character: "Zhao."

The avatar casually tossed aside the Jade Scroll it held and inquired with surprise, "Honored self, you summoned me back—"

The avatar's query remained unfinished as it received the crucial information from the honored self.

Instantly inundated with terror, the avatar stammered, "This is bad! We must inform Zhao Xuanjing immediately."

Zhao Sheng stated with grave seriousness, "That is precisely why I called you back. This matter is of extreme urgency; inform Jing’er at once, and then follow his directives."

"Rest assured, honored self! I shall depart immediately."

As these words were spoken, a portal materialized before the avatar. Without hesitation, the avatar plunged into the portal, disappearing from view.

Observing the avatar's swift departure, Zhao Sheng, the honored self, felt a measure of relief, though a sigh escaped his lips.

He understood with stark clarity that despite the utmost endeavors of Zhao Xuanjing and the avatar, the prospects for Zhao San Yue to "return to life" were exceedingly remote.

It was far more probable that she had failed her Crossing Tribulation, yet managed to preserve a sliver of her soul essence.

This residual fragment might even be preserved within a treasured artifact, temporarily forestalling the destruction of her life soul token.

Amidst these musings, an inexplicable chill inexplicably permeated his being.

Zhao Sheng was suddenly overcome by a creeping dread, as if a monumental catastrophe loomed, an inexpressible premonition of death seizing his mind.

At that precise moment, Zhao Sheng's countenance drained of color, and before he could even react, the overwhelming sense of mortal peril abruptly vanished.

"Hmm? What just happened just now... what was that?!" Zhao Sheng's heart thrummed with unease. His spirit immediately merged with the Five Elements Cave Heaven, meticulously scouring every nook and cranny in a desperate attempt to pinpoint the origin of that calamitous premonition.
