Yao Qin was contemplating the destruction of a world when she received a distress call from Tang Lang. She located him severely injured outside a frontier town and, despite her disdain, felt his humiliation as an insult to her status. Tang Lang, delirious, blamed Qiu Tu and several unknown assailants, demanding revenge and the destruction of the world. Yao Qin subdued him, brought him to a stream to clean himself, and pressed him for details about his attackers.

Tang Lang turned a blind eye and continued soaking in the water, saying, "Yes. It's very strange."

His gaze revealed a trace of deeper thought, then he said, "She can turn me into cattle and sheep, weaken my strength, and even defend and amplify."

"Truly an all-around auxiliary-type Heavenly God."

Saying this, Tang Lang paused, looked at Yao Qin, and said, "Qin Qin, if you're interested in her, I think you might consider sparing her life and using her for your own purposes."

"A support type Heavenly God with such a peculiar ability is really rare."

Hearing Tang Lang's words, a trace of contemplation appeared in Yao Qin's eyes.

She quietly pondered for a moment, then snapped back to reality, her gaze falling on Tang Lang.

Seeing that Tang Lang had cleaned himself up, she gestured and pulled Tang Lang to the shore.

Then she said, "Let me check your wounds first."

"Then I'll heal your injuries."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched the wound on Tang Lang's body. Meanwhile, her Cataclysmic Power and spiritual power began to madly infiltrate Tang Lang's body, as if examining his injuries.

However, as soon as her spiritual power and Cataclysmic Power entered Tang Lang's body, her brows furrowed slightly.

But she didn't reveal it easily and continued along the wound.

Tang Lang's strength was already no match for Yao Qin, and now he was in a severely injured state, so although he wanted to refuse, he could only let her do as she pleased in the end.

Just like that, Yao Qin examined Tang Lang's entire body, but her eyebrows knitted deeper and deeper.

She looked at Tang Lang's back with some puzzlement in her heart.

'No issues at all?'

'Not his aura, appearance, nor his body shows any anomalies?'

'The only strange thing is his strength. He fell from a peak Heavenly God to a mid-tier Heavenly God.'

'But…. after such a fierce battle, the severe injuries make that understandable.'

Thinking along these lines, Yao Qin couldn't help feeling a bit suspicious, 'Could it be… my senses were wrong?'

Indeed.

When she first saw this Tang Lang before her, an indescribable sense arose within Yao Qin.

Even though the feeling was faint, it clearly warned her to be cautious.

This was also why she was cautiously testing Tang Lang and maintained a cautious demeanor.

She is a "Divine King"! The real one who is empowered by the heavens, the supreme God.

Her every sense is not just an ordinary feeling, but highly likely a warning of some kind.

That's why she first inquired about the intelligence of the recent battle and then examined Tang Lang's body to verify her instincts.

However, the result surprised her.

There was nothing amiss, whether in Tang Lang's form of address towards her, the battle he recounted, or the examination of his body.

The person before her seemed to be a genuine Tang Lang in every way.

'Could it be… my senses were wrong?'

As she thought this, even Yao Qin herself felt somewhat shaken.

She looked at her "husband" sitting before her, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Since they're so strong, how did you escape?"

Upon hearing Yao Qin's words, Tang Lang in front of her instantly sounded more sorrowful.

He said, "How else could I escape? Of course, I burned one of my lives."

With that, Tang Lang reached behind and pulled out a grey tail.

There was a dark ring on this tail.

Seeing this, Yao Qin finally had no doubts.

Tang Lang's race was very special, called the "Five-Section Wolf". The main characteristic was the five ring markings on their body at a certain position.

It could be on the legs, arms, body, or tail. This represents Tang Lang's "five lives".

It's more like consciousness or soul fragments rather than actual lives.

When a "Five-Section Wolf" encounters danger, they can split a part of their consciousness and soul to flee.

If the primary body dies or actively abandons it, a portion of the remaining strength transfers to the escaping consciousness or soul to continue living.

"Five-Sections" represents five chances. Once these are used up, they will completely perish.

Over the years, Tang Lang had already used three chances, and now with this fourth, the circle marks indeed only had one left.

The approach of sacrificing a life to survive perfectly matched Yao Qin's understanding of Tang Lang.

Moreover, with the "Five-Section Wolf" species having long since receded from the "Heavenly God Battlefield" stage, the number of people who knew the "Five-Section Wolf," and especially Tang Lang's specific markings, was exceptionally few.

Thus, Yao Qin gradually came to believe the Tang Lang before her.

Her gaze softened slightly, then she opened a Dimensional Space, took out a Heavenly God-level "Boundless Divine Crystal," and placed it by Tang Lang, saying, "First, heal your injuries."

"For the specifics, we'll strategize long term."

Saying this, Yao Qin also remarked, "Rest assured. I will avenge you for this ordeal."

"Be it Xi Yue, Qiu Tu, or the other Heavenly Gods who attacked you."

"I won't spare any of them."

At this point, her eyes, like stars in the polar region, emitted an icy chill, sweeping over the situation ahead as if slashed by an ice blade....

.....

Meanwhile.

In Shao Hua's manor in the Southern Kingdom, Divine Capital.

Qing Lan carried a black pot and gripped a salted fish, wandering back and forth in the hall, stroking it.

After pacing for a while, she suddenly raised her little bun-like face, looked over at Zhao Ji, who was sitting with closed eyes cultivating, and asked, "Sister Zhaoji, is the boss really going to be safe?"
