In the small world where the Central Evil God Temple is located.

Countless ravines vie for flow, a thousand cliffs compete in splendor. Birds chirp unseen, flowers fall yet trees remain fragrant. After the rain, the sky joins with the moistened green cliffs; when the wind comes, pines roll out like a verdant screen.

Shen Ni, carrying the Golden Flame Lamp, disperses layer upon layer of darkness, under the guidance of the Fierce Beast Patrol Envoy, to his own Cave Mansion.

Different from the world outside, shrouded in spreading fog, the world of the Cave Mansion is in the midst of the spring season, a scene filled with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds.

"Evil God Tai Yuan really has a good eye for aesthetics!" Shen Ni felt delighted the moment he saw his Cave Mansion; its style was similar to the Grotto Heaven he had shaped on Kai Ming Mountain.

"My King, do you have further instructions?"

The figure of the Fierce Beast Patrol Envoy was lean, cloaked in shades of grey, his entire body enveloped in a grey cape that obscured his features, holding a small lantern in his hand.

He had no legs, but instead, he stood suspended in the air upon a drifting dark cloud, which continuously puffed out little cloudlets.

Shen Ni looked at the Fierce Beast Patrol Envoy before him and tried to issue an order: "You go down first."

Following the command, the Fierce Beast Patrol Envoy withdrew, "This subordinate will take leave now. If there is a command, you can summon me with the Golden Flame Lamp!"

The Envoy, lantern in hand, drifted into the layers of fog, directly disappearing from Shen Ni's perceptive range.

Shen Ni, looking at the little world veiled in fog, even holding a seventh-level Golden Flame Lamp and possessing a certain level of authority, found he could not see through this world at a glance, nor could he perceive how the Fierce Beast Patrol Envoy had vanished.

One can only imagine how many prohibitions and Big Formations had been laid out here!

"Dark, it's really damn dark!"

Shen Ni stood before the entrance of the Cave Mansion, facing the thick fog. After exhaling, he put away the Golden Flame Lamp and turned back into his dwelling.

Considering how much the Fierce Beast Clan valued this Evil God Temple, it was utterly unrealistic to go out and try any sneaky moves on his own.

A single misstep could very likely lead to a passive situation.

In Shen Ni's view, it was better to steadily participate in the construction of the "Evil Gods and Demons Array" directly through Evil God Tai Yuan.

There would always be an opportunity.

After returning to his Cave Mansion, Shen Ni did nothing; he simply wandered leisurely through the Cave Heaven World in high spirits.

Now treading on green waves, admiring mountain views, appreciating exotic flowers, plucking strange herbs.

Now sitting in a mountain pavilion, watching the sunrise, listening to the pine wind, smelling the birds' songs.

He completely adopted the posture of one enjoying sightseeing.

~~~

In the core area of the Central Evil God Temple, a dozen Evil Gods gathered in a circle.

In their midst stood a large incense burner, with curls of smoke wafting endlessly in mid-air, manifesting scene after scene.

One of the scenes was the world where Shen Ni resided.

"He actually has such leisure and comfort?" Evil God Tai Hong, with a stern face and protruding cheekbones, eyes shady, dressed in a dark green robe, exuded an air of cold and solemn chill.

He was the Dao Body of the Honghu Ancestor of the Phoenix Clan.

The last time Tai Hong patrolled the Extreme Evil Valley, the Witch Gods attacked and destroyed the Fierce Beasts' nest.

Evil God Tai Yuan chuckled, "Just arrived, not yet familiar with the situation, how could they start scheming so quickly?"

"And didn't the others start cultivating in meditation as soon as they returned to their Cave Mansion?"

Within the drifting smoke, one could see that every Beast King who arrived at their Cave Mansion was fairly steady, not rushing to stir up trouble.

"It's not necessarily that simple, though."

Evil God Tai Hong lightly tapped with his long fingers, summoning a scene.

There appeared a burly man with blazing hair high into the sky, full of stealth, slipping out of his Cave Mansion.

This was Zhu Rong, who had just been solemnly cultivating in meditation.

He looked around cautiously at the doorstep, then summoned the Fierce Beast Patrol Envoy using the Golden Flame Lamp, and led by the Envoy, he went to Gonggong's Cave Mansion.

Before long, humming a tune, with Golden Flame Lamps in hand, they roamed shoulder to shoulder in the cloudy little world.

Here they observed, there they scrutinized.

Whatever they didn't understand, they would chat with the Fierce Beast Patrol Envoy, inquiring about all kinds of information about the small world.

Even when they encountered other guards, Divine Generals, Imperial Censors, Kings of the Central Evil God Temple, they would enthusiastically engage in conversation.

Divine Weapons and Spiritual Treasures, Elixir Medicine Spirit Roots, cultivation status, prospects for the future, Fierce Beasts' mission... there was no topic that the two "social disorder sufferers" could not discuss.

"Do they think of this as their home?" Evil God Tai Yuan smiled and shook his head, this was not at all like the state of being in a strange environment.

"It's indeed a broad heart, seems like they have the makings to accomplish great things," commented another Evil God.

Under the gaze of the Evil Gods, they thus walked through various Divine Palaces, Cave Mansions, gardens, secret forests...

Apart from the major core areas, they visited wherever they should and could.

Within this world, shrouded in fog and covered in seals, they managed to smoothly survey the general layout of the Central Evil God Temple with their extremely outgoing personalities.

"Tai Yuan, go assign them some tasks."

Evil God Tai Hong spoke, "These two cannot sit still. Now they have only visited places they could go to. If we let them idle, sooner or later, these two fellows will start probing places they shouldn't."

After watching for a while, the Evil Gods noticed that Emperor Jiang Shen Ni, Xiang Gu of [Shebish], and Candle Dragon Zhu Jiuyin, disguised as Beast Kings, behaved normally and quite honestly.

As for Gonggong and Zhu Rong, these two individuals were blessed with exceptional talent, restless by nature, and frighteningly extroverted.

Letting these two continue to wander, sooner or later, they would stroll right into the presence of the Evil Gods.

"Alright, I will arrange it."

Tai Yuan got up and left.

~~~~

In the following period of time, the Central Evil God Temple assigned tasks to all the fierce beasts.

Gonggong and Zhu Rong were given the task of coordinating the operations among various departments, mainly responsible for talking.

The two chatterboxes were overjoyed by this arrangement.

Shen Ni, Xiang Gu, and Candle Dragon were assigned the task of improving some big formation array maps according to requirements.

Other Fierce Beast Kings either oversaw the inspection of the formations, or were in charge of refining the array flags, or were responsible for the materials for the formations...

The Evil Gods assigned tasks in an orderly manner, everyone had a clear division of work and was proactive.

The entire Evil God Temple started to bustle with activity.

Array Cloud Divine Palace, array map research team.

A group of Fierce Beast Kings and Envoys skilled in arrays were deducing array maps in this place.

"Daoist, this rune here is not correct; I believe it should be like this..." A White Robed Beast King pointed at an array map, suggesting to Shen Ni.

After listening, Shen Ni shook his head, "Ah, my Daoist friend, what you've said is mistaken! This rune is positioned in the east, so it should be depicted with an Innate Rune of the Mu Yi type!"

A Mysterious Robed Beast King overheard and quickly turned around to interrupt Shen Ni's speech, entering the debate.

"Neither of you is correct!"

"The stabilization of the major directions doesn't necessarily need the Five Elements. What's wrong with me using the Law of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water to stabilize the four corners?"

"That's a huge problem!" Shen Ni, holding an array map in one hand and tapping the desk with the other.

"What we are setting up here is a Summoning Array. The balance of the attributes of Law Runes is crucial to determining what kind of Chaos Demon God is summoned!"

"A little more or a little less, all would lead to mistakes."

"If the summoning goes wrong, can you bear that responsibility?"

The Mysterious Robed Beast King retorted angrily, "I do not like what you have said. What do you mean 'can you bear that responsibility'? Are you implying that I am definitely wrong?"

"My deductions are clearly without mistakes; why do you deny my results?"

"What gives you the right to lecture me?"

"That's right, that's right!"

The White Robed Beast King also argued, "Know that I come from the Northern Evil God Temple and am the most knowledgeable in arrays among all Beast Kings. That's why our Hall Master recommended me to the Central Evil God Temple to research the Evil God Array."

"Now I kindly offer a suggestion, and you still won't accept it."

I accept your stupid pig!

I need you to teach me how to summon Demon Gods?

Shen Ni roared inwardly.

But on the surface, he appeared very calm, lightly snorting, "Fine, since both Daoist friends are stubborn, let's each draw some array maps and send them to the testing group for experiments!"

"Alright!"

Both Beast Kings, not to be outdone, busied themselves with their respective teams.

[Daoist, don't stoop to their level; they don't know what a true Summoning Array is!]Mutual Gaze Corpse had worked with Shen Ni for countless years and naturally trusted Shen Ni more.

"Daoist, let me assist you!" Zhu Jiuyin volunteered eagerly.

Summoning a Chaos Demon God from the source of the Space-Time River involves the Time Dao not just any deity can grasp.

Candle Dragon was very suited to assist Shen Ni.

Shen Ni nodded, "Alright, let's create a big one for them to see."

The three array maps were soon sent to the testing group for small-scale testing.

Soon enough, the results were out.

All failed!

"Hmph, failed, haven't you? Stunned, aren't you? Look at how capable you thought you were!" The White Robed Beast King taunted Shen Ni.

The Mysterious Robed Beast King also coldly said, "Didn't you say everything was perfectly logical? So why did it fail?"

Shen Ni, who was deep in thought about the reason for the failure, glanced at them and retorted, "Didn't you also fail?"

"Our failure is very normal, isn't it?" declared the White Robed Beast King as a matter of course.

"This is just the deduction phase; how can it be completed so quickly?"

"Know that all the Hall Masters have racked their brains and yet couldn't perfect this big formation, what makes us think we could perfectly construct it on the first attempt?"

The Mysterious Robed Beast King nodded, "If we completed it just upon arrival, wouldn't it make the Hall Masters seem very incompetent?"

"Hmph, failed, haven't you? Stunned, aren't you? Look at how capable you thought you were!" The White Robed Beast King taunted Shen Ni again.

The Mysterious Robed Beast King also coldly said, "Didn't you say everything was perfectly logical? So why did it fail?"

Shen Ni, who was deep in thought about the reason for the failure, glanced at them and retorted, "Didn't you also fail?"

"Our failure is very normal, isn't it?" declared the White Robed Beast King as a matter of course.

"This is just the deduction phase; how can it be completed so quickly?"

"Know that all the Hall Masters have racked their brains and yet couldn't perfect this big formation, what makes us think we could perfectly construct it on the first attempt?"

The Mysterious Robed Beast King nodded, "If we completed it just upon arrival, wouldn't it make the Hall Masters seem very incompetent?"
