"Old fellow, what exactly are you up to, letting water out but not to this extent, right?"

In the vast expanse of time and space, the Qiankun Immortal sat amidst the space-time vortex with a scapegoat burden, dispirited.

In front of It, an Emperor's Throne floated, surrounded by fantastic phenomena and wrapped in Immortal Light, with numerous divine and auspicious beast shadows revolving around it, guarding the throne.

Atop the throne sat a young-looking Emperor with a jade-like complexion and a solemn demeanor, his profound eyes as deep as the vast starry river, effortlessly commanding respect.

His hands rested lightly on the armrests of the throne, with his right fingertips intermittently drumming.

With each tap, a faint golden halo spread in the vacuum, and scenes appeared around it, orbiting in space.

From the Heavenly Mechanism Star Lord discovering the Star Tree, to the Star Tree shaking people, then to the appearance of the Main God and others, and finally the arrival and thrashing of the Primordial Qilin.

Each frame played in a loop, capturing every detail.

"I didn't fudge the fight, that Other Shore Great Power is truly formidable," said a clear voice, echoing in the space-time vortex.

Behind the young Emperor, an Innate Divine Being emerged from His shadow.

This Divine Being wore a magnificent robe, surrounded by auspicious clouds and radiating holy light; however, its crown was missing, leaving his hair disheveled and his image rather bedraggled.

This was none other than the Primordial Qilin from before.

Or rather—Divine Hidden Demon God.

In the moment when the Divine Hidden Demon God appeared, the image of the young Emperor changed, gradually transforming into that of a stately old man.

And the kindly face of the Divine Hidden Demon God gradually took on the youthful appearance of the Primordial Qilin.

The Qiankun Immortal watched the Divine Hidden Demon God and the Primordial Qilin complete their identity swap.

It commented: "You don't need to change appearance too, do you? Why must the Primordial Qilin's visage be that of an old man?"

The Primordial Qilin, watching the scenes unravel in the void, responded earnestly, "Perhaps the image of an old man is more deceptive."

"You see, both Hong Jun and Yang Mei take the form of old men."

"According to those youngsters in our clan who designed the Son of Qi Fortune system, playing the villain means appearing benevolent, with an air of saintliness; while in truth, being filthy and conniving, sly and cunning!"

"Hong Jun and Yang Mei like to scheme behind the scenes, fitting this image well."

"I stay in Buzhou Mountain all day and never venture out, so I fit the image, too."

"Exactly, exactly!" The Divine Hidden Demon God chuckled as It looked at the Primordial Qilin, "Was my acting just now up to par?"

"It fits the character," said the Primordial Qilin in evaluation.

The Divine Hidden Demon God's face lit up with joy: "Of course, I even spoke in the inner monologue while maintaining the tone of the Primordial Qilin."

"Especially that last move, the Heart-cutting Sword, showcased the cunning and deceit you've wanted to express throughout the years in its full glory, incredibly deceptive indeed!"

As a race that could propagate the "system plan" and cultivate Sons of Qi Fortune in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the Qilin Clan's customs are very open-minded.

All kinds of theories and vocabulary are nothing new to them.

Words like villain and character setting are all instantly understood by the Qiankun Immortal.

But the Qiankun Immortal still wanted to complain: "That being said, you two have made the image of the Primordial Qilin seem too much like a villain."

"It's simply a waste of such a grand title as the Emperor of Longevity!"

"That's an incorrect view," the Divine Hidden Demon God shook its head, saying: "When venturing out, one's image and identity are crafted by oneself."

"Villains and heroes are always relative."

"Who says a gloriously righteous title like the Emperor of Longevity can't be cunning and deceitful?"

"Once an image is used for a long time, it creates a preconception, deeply engrained in others' hearts, immovable like a Divine Mountain."

"In doing so, what is perceived and known becomes a barrier, as if a 'Knowledge Barrier'."

"This Knowledge Barrier can deceive opponents and also interfere with beings of the same level, even an omniscient and omnipotent Da Luo can be affected to some degree."

"Didn't you see the Other Shore Great Power strike in anger in the end? This shows that It was already blinded by the Knowledge Barrier, not seeing through my disguise."

"This is one of the marvelous uses of my Divine Treasure Dao Fruit!"

The Divine Hidden Demon God expounded at length to the Qiankun Immortal, explaining the wonders of Its Divine Treasure Dao Fruit!

The Qiankun Immortal listened and nodded:

"I understand the logic, but your body has been continuously bleeding, won't you consider healing it?"

The Qiankun Immortal pointed at the Divine Hidden Demon God's Dao body that was gradually cracking.

Terrifying killing intent was constantly destroying the opponent's life force, with the true intentions of both Daos entangled, grinding against each other, with crimson blood spurting from the cracks.

The auspicious clouds around the Divine Hidden Demon God were dyed red, appearing like blooming blood flowers.

The act was performed, but the damage was real!

"This, well, it's a minor injury, minor injury!" The Divine Hidden Demon God's expression remained unchanged, as an immortal and indestructible aura unfolded from It, the cracks on the surface of Its body lit up with luminance, incessantly healing the wounds.

However, Xuanqing's last sword was incredibly powerful. Even the Divine Hidden Demon God, having been prepared, would need some time to recover from such an injury.

"You also took a hit from a sword; how come you seem fine?" The Divine Hidden Demon God curiously regarded the Qiankun Immortal.

The Qiankun Immortal patted the scapegoat, converting it back to the form of a cauldron: "I may not be a Da Luo Supreme, but I have an Innate Treasure!"

"An Innate Treasure is on par with Da Luo Supremes. My cauldron can not only refine treasures but also provides unparalleled defense, absorbing most of the damage for me."

"But this time it also emptied the Innate Breath I had accumulated over the years. I won't be able to refine Innate Spiritual Treasures for a while; it will take a long time to recover." The Qiankun Immortal stroked the Qiankun Cauldron with some distress.

"The immediate plan to venture to the prior to the beginning of the world must be postponed."

The gaze of the Primordial Qilin also shifted from the scenes in the void to the Qiankun Cauldron, which had resumed its ancient appearance.

Its brilliance was internal, and its wonders concealed.

Such was the power of Xuanqing's final sword.

"This Other Shore Great Power has undoubtedly explored deep into the Da Luo Realm."

This time, It did not appear rashly.

One reason was having just been corrected by the Primordial Heavenly King, and It was reluctant to show itself again.

Both Divine Hidden Demon God's Dao Fruit is special, and He successfully evaded the correction from Primordial Heavenly King's ax, so impersonating Primordial Qilin is not a problem at all.

Therefore, Divine Hidden, on His behalf, intends to maintain the persona and deliberately provoke the opponent, to see the true face and realm of the Other Shore Great Power and then decide on a strategy.

Although Divine Hidden hasn't been to before the beginning of the world, He also possesses the strength of a Da Luo Supreme.

Generally speaking, even when facing two Supremes in disguise, successfully taking away Qiankun and the others should be no problem at all.

But now, there has been a mishap...

Primordial Qilin leaned on the Emperor's Throne, apparently deep in thought.

"If you make a move, could you achieve this effect?" Qiankun Immortal asked, knowing that Primordial Qilin had been to the Heaven Creation Era and was undoubtedly stronger than Divine Hidden.

"Yes!"

Primordial Qilin's answer was very decisive.

Qiankun Immortal breathed a sigh of relief: "That is to say, He is still in the first realm of Da Luo, not the second."

"If we're talking about the strength of this one sword, He is still within the first realm," Primordial Qilin, with profound eyes, stared at the last moment when Xuanqing took action, and whispered:

"What's really frightening is that we might have also fallen into their Knowledge Barrier."

"The true strength of the Other Shore Great Power may be far beyond what we've seen."

Anyone who has received correction from Pangu's ax and knows how powerful Pangu is, understands one fact—there is the possibility of further cultivation beyond Da Luo.

Primordial Qilin had personally been to the Heaven Creation and witnessed that era, naturally able to sense the path beyond Da Luo.

However, He too had only recently entered Da Luo, and the path beyond was still being explored.

As for how to further cultivate, Primordial Qilin had some vague ideas.

He had completely seen through Xuanqing's last sword.

But the clearer He saw it, the more unsettled Primordial Qilin felt in His heart.

It was as if, it was all intentional.

Was Xuanqing truly enraged?

If angry.

Everything is both real and unreal, leaving Primordial Qilin unable to fathom.

"True and false, false and true, this Other Shore Great Power is truly interesting."

In the end, Primordial Qilin smiled: "Perhaps, the Taiwei Constellation we're looking for is right in front of us."

The Qilin Clan's first setback after entering the Star Sky did not demoralize Primordial Qilin.

On the contrary, His interest in the Cycle Star Sky grew stronger.

"Since we have flown the flag of the Emperor of Longevity, let's continue using it."

Primordial Qilin said: "And that title of Ancestor Qilin, why not solidify this identity from fiction to truth?"

"The Phoenix Clan has Yuan Huang, so there can also be a Yuan Feng."

"Our Qilin Clan, with Primordial Qilin, can also have an Ancestor Qilin!"

"Ancestor, Ancestor, sounds quite good."

Next, Primordial Qilin thought of His own impersonation of Ancestor Dragon and said with a faint smile: "The Main Temple is so smoothly using our names today, it must not be the first or second time."

"In the future, we must also intensify pretending to be the Dragon Clan and shift the blame onto them."

Qiankun and Divine Hidden nodded in agreement: "That's only right."

This is also the reason why Primordial Qilin, upon appearing, did not deny the fake Main God.

After all, the Qilin Clan often does similar things.

"And there's what the Main God mentioned about the Southern Dipper Six Divisions, there weren't any before, but now there can be."

"Send Bai Ze and the others back to recover from their injuries first, let Wu Ji and the others come up in their stead."

Primordial Qilin said: "We were exposed this time, standing in the light, but it's okay, just deny it."

"Continue flying the flag of the Emperor of Longevity, slowly create a Dao Field, quietly set up the Star Realm, manage the Southern Star Domain well, and we will be a native Cycle Star Sky force."

"Of course."

Primordial Qilin looked solemnly at Divine Hidden Demon God and Qiankun Immortal, and said: "If the two Daoist friends are well-prepared, you should go to the beginning of Heaven Creation early to get authentication from Pangu."

"Strength is the solid foundation for development!"

Qiankun Immortal said with a wry smile: "I would also like to go early, but accidents happened, didn't they?"

Divine Hidden Demon God lazily sat next to Qiankun: "Ah, we're really brothers in adversity."

"While I have been fortunate to break the realm before you because of Primordial Qilin Daoist's light, I am now stuck at this step and have been struck by a sword. If I'm to go to before the beginning of the world, I'll have to wait."

Primordial Qilin looked at Them apologetically: "My dear Daoist friends, I've dragged you into this trouble because of my clan."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Divine Hidden Demon God waved it off carelessly.

Qiankun Immortal brought out a gourd: "I have some Elixirs here."

"Are your Elixirs safe to consume?"

"I've calculated it, they definitely have miraculous effects."

"But?"

"There's a little side effect, minor at best."

"Take it away, take it away, don't harm me!" Divine Hidden repeatedly refused.

"Ah, if you won't eat, I will. I don't believe it's really an Elixir's fault." Qiankun Immortal said, and poured out two pills.

Both Primordial Qilin and Divine Hidden's expressions changed:

"Stop!"
