An Li awakens with the Dark Origin God now residing within her, though they are forced into a stalemate. Facing a severe shortage of resources needed to recover her Saintly power, An Li begins to ponder how to regain her strength. Meanwhile, Lu Ye continues his cultivation, having condensed his eighth life. Two hundred years later, the System detects an anomaly: Forget-Love Immortal Revered intercepts the Dark Origin God, who has taken on a female form and is forced to retreat, sustaining injuries. An Li, now inhabited by the Dark Origin God, is informed that devouring the Four Spirits of Heaven could allow for a swift recovery.

“The Four Spirits of Heaven...”

An Li frowned.

“Is just one Vermillion Bird enough?”

What a joke. With the strength she could currently exert, even fighting the White Tiger wasn't guaranteed to be a victory.

Not to mention the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise, who were both Celestial Venerable level. Forget about whether she could defeat them; if she encountered them, she might not even be able to escape.

“Of course not. We can only fully recover by completely devouring the Four Spirits of Heaven.”

“Then how do we fight? We're no match for the Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon at all.”

However, it was clear that when it came to recovering full strength, the Dark Origin God was obviously not as anxious as An Li. Because for the Dark Origin God, now that he had entered this Heaven and Earth, he could completely cultivate little by little.

Even if a Saint truly appeared, he just needed to hide himself well and wait until the Saint left, then he could come out and properly recover his strength. No rush, absolutely no need to rush!

So for this kind of problem, he was only responsible for proposing it, not solving it.

An Li furrowed her brow and began to think carefully.

Time passed second by second.

An Li’s intelligence was basically still not a huge problem, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to survive until now.

As she thought, she recalled something.

That was the battle of the Time River.

The transformation of the Time River would cause time points to become chaotic.

In the previous life, the Four Spirits of Heaven were responsible for guarding this Heaven and Earth. What they did was help the Time River complete its transformation as quickly as possible.

The Vermillion Bird was also invited away by Black Tortoise Celestial Venerable.

At that time, Black Tortoise Celestial Venerable personally visited, making numerous promises in front of Lu Ye that he would absolutely not let the Vermillion Bird get hurt.

Actually, Lu Ye didn't say no; he was just worried.

Lu Ye was indeed worried at that time, not about the Vermillion Bird’s safety, but about the System’s safety.

The Four Spirits of Heaven were only helping the Time River; there was no danger involved.

The Vermillion Bird only returned after the Time River battle ended.

As soon as she returned, she said she was exhausted to death and went into seclusion to recover for a long time, and even with Lu Ye’s help, it took her that long to recover.

One must know that at that time, the Vermillion Bird was just an Emperor, while the White Tiger had already become a Celestial Venerable. The main effort definitely wasn't from the Vermillion Bird. If the Vermillion Bird, who wasn't the main force, became so weak after the Time River completed its transformation, one can imagine how weak the Azure Dragon and the Three Spirits would become?

It was completely imaginable.

Then this time, the battle of the Time River would still erupt, the Four Spirits of Heaven would still help the Time River accelerate its transformation just like in the previous life, and they would still fall into a state of weakness.

If I knew the exact location of the Four Spirits of Heaven, wouldn't I be able to devour the Four Spirits of Heaven while they are weak?

It's possible!

The possibility is not small!

An Li’s eyes began to brighten.

“Perhaps, there’s a chance!”

Dark Origin God???

“What chance?”

“Do you have any divine abilities that can secretly contact others, or divine abilities to find the location of others?” An Li asked.

Dark Origin God... who are you looking down on here?

“I'll teach you!”

The Dark Origin God didn't waste words and began to teach An Li some methods.

Although An Li possessed the Great Dao and origin of a Saint, she had absolutely none of the Dark Origin God’s memories, so what she could use were actually the spell divine abilities she already knew.

Just learning a few spells took seven years.

“How are you so stupid? You still have the nerve to say you were an Emperor in your previous life?” The Dark Origin God was like a parent helping a child with homework, unable to help but roar loudly.

An Li’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Her anger was already rising rapidly and was about to become uncontrollable.

However, An Li endured.

She did know about this situation, because when Lu Ye taught Shangguan Huanling in the previous life, he almost died of anger.

Those were the rare times he roared at Shangguan Huanling, and he even directly picked her up several times and spanked her hard a few times.

Lu Ye's temper at that time was so explosive that he truly couldn't be persuaded.

The group of women saw Lu Ye lose his temper like that for the first time and were all terrified, only Shangguan Huanling's eyes were sparkling, letting Lu Ye do as he pleased, she was simply obedient to the extreme.

An Li had previously thought Shangguan Huanling acted that way because of guilt.

But thinking about it now, nonsense!

The irritable Lu Ye just happened to suit her taste.

But for the normally good-tempered Lu Ye to get so angry, it truly showed how infuriating it could be when teaching someone who simply couldn't learn no matter what.

But in the end, she did learn.

So An Li immediately searched for the Vermillion Bird's whereabouts.

But soon, her brow furrowed.

“Didn't you say this spell could completely find the other party's whereabouts? Where is the person now?”

“Didn't find them?”

The Dark Origin God was also a bit surprised.

That shouldn't be the case. This spell for finding people was very powerful.

“Are you capable or not? You were so confident when teaching the {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} spell, and you even dared to scold me, but the result of teaching such a complicated spell is that it’s completely useless, you trash!”

If this divine ability were useful, An Li wouldn't say anything, but what is this situation now? It's completely useless, so what was the point of me being scolded so much?

The Dark Origin God was silent.

How could she not find them?

“Speak up! Weren't you very confident? You wasted so much time. No wonder you were beaten into this state by a group of people. Which Saint in the world would be beaten into this state by a group of non-Saint existences? I think you're just too weak. Among Saints, I fear you're at the bottom, that's why you were beaten like this. Truly trash!”

Dark Origin God...

To be honest, the Dark Origin God hadn't experienced such humiliation for a very, very long time.

“You're quite something. After plotting for so long, you're still in a difficult situation.”

When An Li heard this sentence, her exquisitely beautiful face instantly turned red.

“Say that to me again!!!”

“I'll say it! After plotting for so long, you're still like a mouse, hiding and sneaking around!”

“I'll kill you!”

An Li shrieked.

...

A farce, in the end, ended with the Dark Origin God’s apology. But the Dark Origin God discovered something interesting.

That was, An Li didn't actually want to perish together with him; she just wanted him to submit.

It was like taming a beast, constantly tormenting the other party until they submitted, and then they would obediently listen to her.

It was that kind of method.

After figuring this out, the Dark Origin God suddenly saw the light.

He didn't need to worry about angering An Li at all, because after angering her, as long as he didn't get angry himself, wasn't it just an apology? He just needed to apologize properly.

In summary, it was: I was wrong, but I will absolutely not change!

Infuriate you, you lunatic!

Anyway, he had nothing left to lose now. It was just a verbal apology. He would apologize, damn it, he would apologize, but thinking of making him submit, that was something she shouldn't even think about!

Come on, let's hurt each other!
