Chapter 872 - 858: Pool

Su Muyao had already been mentally prepared.

But hearing all this with her own ears, she still felt it was a bit strange.

It was as if, in this world where the Divine Domain had collapsed, she was actually the most important one.

Because the target of those Beastmen was neither Xuan Yan nor Xiao Jihan, not even the Zaizai, but her.

Su Muyao murmured, "Strange."

The system said, "Host, from this matter alone, it proves that the key for Xiao Jihan and the others to Become God lies with you, and the key to repairing the collapsed Divine Domain again is also you."

"Otherwise those Demon Beasts wouldn’t ignore Xiao Jihan and the others and only fixate on killing you."

Su Muyao also realized this.

But she didn’t know how she could help so that Xiao Jihan could directly Become a Beast God.

That City Lord also said that Immortal Beastmen needed to provide assistance in order to help the Beast God return.

Su Muyao rubbed her head with her hand, carefully thinking it through, yet still couldn’t figure out what method to use.

"But looking at it now, we can’t rush to the south."

"We have to figure out what’s going on right now, and we can’t let Black Rock City have any problems."

At the moment, Xuan Yan was busy dealing with Black Rock City’s affairs; even his brows and eyes looked exhausted, so they couldn’t just head south.

They had to pause for a bit.

After saying all this, Xuan Yan looked at Su Muyao with some guilt. "Wife, I’m sorry."

Su Muyao shook her head. "Don’t say that."

"We’re a family, you’re already working very hard."

Su Muyao felt a bit powerless in her heart and had no choice but to say to the system, "If that immortal power wasn’t being suppressed, I could do a lot right now."

"Xiao Jihan and Xuan Yan wouldn’t need to work this hard."

With her immortal power, she could directly overturn those Demon Beasts.

The system pondered and said, "Host, do you think that the vast immortal power you gained from absorbing the Immortal Crystal Stone might be usable at a critical moment?"

"I keep feeling that the Rule Power here hasn’t actually harmed you. Normally, when you give birth to Zaizai there would be heavenly phenomena, but here there was no such earth-shaking Heavenly Thunder scene."

"Maybe your immortal power is meant to assist Xiao Jihan and the others when they Become God."

"And this is a collapsed Divine Domain World; only Xiao Jihan and the others who have Divine Blood can enter. You’re equivalent to a plug-in that was exceptionally allowed to be sent in."

"Since you’re allowed in, it means the rules of this world shouldn’t be suppressing you that much."

Su Muyao looked at her own palm, where she could only release a bit of immortal power, and said in confusion, "Then I don’t know when I’ll actually be able to use that immortal power."

She felt that vast immortal power still inside her body, she just couldn’t use it.

After they discussed it for a while, Su Muyao let Xiao Jihan and Xuan Yan go rest.

The two still insisted that she go rest instead; they would take turns keeping watch and only rest for a while.

But come night, the horn inside the city blared again; Black Rock City was once more attacked by Beastmen.

This time it was a large number of Wandering Beastmen, storming the city like madmen.

Many of these Beastmen were Level 5 Beastmen, and there were even a few Level 6 Beastmen.

Their eyes were blood-red, looking completely irrational.

One glance and you could tell they were being controlled by Demon Beasts.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xuan Yan’s father broke through to Level 7 and rushed over to save the day.

The Level 7 superpower strength directly crushed all the Beastmen.

Under that pressure, the low-level Beastmen prostrated on the ground, unable to withstand the oppression.

As for the Level 5 and Level 6 ones, their strength had been enhanced through Demon Grass and was unstable, incomparable to those who had advanced to Level 5 and Level 6 through proper Cultivation.

After Jin Tuo dealt with these Beastmen, he followed the trail of aura and found a stretch of mountains and forest.

There were several Demon Beasts hidden there, which Jin Tuo directly killed.

Jin Tuo had been able to advance to Level 7 thanks to Su Muyao healing his injuries and giving him that elixir.

Jin Tuo handed a map to Xuan Yan and said, "I just discovered this map left by our ancestor. It marks the location of the Ice Wolf Beast God Sacrificial Map."

"I found it in the pond in that stretch of forest."

"Very likely, it also emerged from under that pond."

"I hadn’t noticed that our ancestor left this map before. After breaking through today, I went to pay respects, and when tidying up the ancestor’s relics, I saw it."

After returning, Xuan Yan gave the map to Xiao Jihan and Su Muyao to look at.

Su Muyao’s expression shifted slightly as she looked at the pond location marked on the map.

The system said excitedly, "Host, go take a look there. Maybe you’ll find something."

Su Muyao also decided to go see.

At her insistence, Xiao Jihan took her over, while Xuan Yan stayed home to protect the Zaizai.

Because if there was a Divine Stone or some opportunity related to Becoming God, it would be more appropriate for Xiao Jihan to handle it.

When they arrived at the edge of the pond, Su Muyao suddenly seemed to sense something through the Divine Stone.

There was a very strong Summoning Power calling to her.

Su Muyao almost lost control and fell straight into the pond.

"Wife..."

Xiao Jihan’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly jumped into the pond after her.

After Su Muyao reached the bottom of the pond, she was quickly swallowed by a whirlpool.

She remembered that she had been able to enter this collapsed Divine Domain through a crack because she had found the volcanic rift by using the Divine Stone.

Just now, the Divine Stone she was touching in her sleeve seemed to respond as well.

She felt an intense Summoning Power, calling to her, growing stronger and stronger.

So she couldn’t help but jump into the water.

At this time, Su Muyao didn’t need any auxiliary beads to breathe normally underwater.

It seemed she had gained this ability ever since she formed a Contract with Wei Jinmo.

However, without Wei Jinmo leading her, she still couldn’t stay underwater for too long.

When Su Muyao reached the bottom of the pond, the surging whirlpool became even fiercer.

It directly swallowed Su Muyao and the arriving Xiao Jihan.

At the instant the water light split apart, Su Muyao’s body was suddenly wrapped by an even denser Power. It was not an ordinary Power, but carried a faint Divine Power imbued with the pressure of an Ancient Divine Beast. It followed her breath into her meridians, actually causing the suppressed immortal power in her body to faintly tremble.

This Divine Power seemed to be nourishing her, as if helping her resist the Rule Power here.

In a daze, Su Muyao felt herself wrapped in the water flow and drifted into sleep.

When Su Muyao woke up again, she was in an underwater cave mansion.

Because when Su Muyao lifted her head, she saw a broken bronze stone door, and looking closely, there were carved Wolf Beastman totems on it.

Su Muyao seemed to be drawn by a Power and couldn’t help stepping forward to touch it.

It felt just like touching Xiao Jihan’s true body.

When she touched it, her fingertips seemed to sense some kind of Power, feeling a faint tremor.

She felt as if each pattern still held a trace of lingering Divine Power, as though the remnant soul of a Divine Beast was still slumbering within this stone door.

She didn’t know if it was just her imagination.

The stone door was half open, the snow-white light within spilling out, forming a hazy curtain of light that separated the inside and outside of the cave mansion into two worlds.

The moment she stepped into the cave mansion, a dense surge of Divine Power rushed up, even more blazing than at the entrance.

Feeling this Divine Power made one feel incredibly comfortable.

The cave mansion was enormous, practically a palace. The ground was not ordinary stone, but piled from whole pieces of Divine Stone. The surface of the Divine Stone glowed with a gentle sheen; even underwater, the light was not dim.

Because she could clearly see the Spiritual Power patterns formed on it, and those patterns actually flowed like water.

As they flowed, the Divine Power within the Divine Stone seemed to pour out endlessly, nourishing every corner of the cave mansion.

On the stone walls on both sides, countless Divine Stones were also embedded, their surfaces coursing with a faint radiance, as if each piece of Divine Stone contained pure Divine Power.

Inside, there was also a huge stone platform that looked like a Cold Jade Bed.

Deeper inside the cave mansion was an even grander main hall. The domed ceiling of the hall was arched, carved with intricate star-chart patterns.

Every star point was inlaid from tiny fragments of Divine Stone. Even underwater, it could simulate the vastness of the starry sky. Between the lines of the star chart, Divine Power flowed, like real stars twinkling.

Su Muyao couldn’t help exclaiming, "It’s so beautiful."

"I didn’t expect there to be so many Divine Stones here."
