The villagers were preparing food and wine, intending to treat Shi Hao's friends to a good meal that evening.
Shi Hao, along with his friends, arrived at the Willow Tree.
"Goddess Liu, I've encountered a big problem outside and would like to ask you for advice."
Shi Hao spoke under the willow tree, his brows furrowed, and shared what he knew, asking Yun Xi to add to it.
"Some things are better left unknown than known," Liu Shen murmured. A faint, unusual aura wafted through the air, bringing a sense of peace.
Shi Hao asked, "Liu Shen, do you know the truth?"
Liu Shen said calmly, "It's better if you don't know, so as not to cause yourself unnecessary trouble."
"Why?" Shi Hao asked, unwilling to give up.
"Knowing the truth will ultimately lead to my annihilation, and I am still recovering and do not want to get involved in this conflict," Liu Shen said calmly.
"What?!" Everyone paled.
Liu Shen's meaning was clear: if Shi Hao knew the truth, he would be killed if it were leaked, and if Liu Shen stood up for him, she would be drawn into a great calamity.
After chatting for a while, Shi Hao learned that Liu Shen would not leave and would protect Shi Village, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Goddess Liu, has Uncle Dragon King not emerged from seclusion yet?" Shi Hao suddenly asked.
“No,” Liu Shen said.
"Sister Xiaoxue has also gone into seclusion, alas!" Shi Hao sighed.
"Uncle Dragon King? Who is that?" Yunxi asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"That's quite an impressive existence." At this moment, Baldy Er sauntered over, still hairless, and glanced at Yun Xi with a nonchalant air.
During these ten years, Er Tu Zi remained in Shi Village. In these years, he also learned that Lin Qing was a powerful being no weaker than Liu Shen.
"It's you!" Yunxi exclaimed in surprise. Clearly, she recognized Er Tuzi.
"Little girl, your grandfather chased me so hard back then that I was forced to hide in Baiduan Mountain. Today, you're not leaving. Stay here and be someone's wife!" Er Tuzi said viciously.
"Who told you to infiltrate my Heavenly God Mountain and covet the divine treasures?" Yunxi glared at it. The secret of that ancient magic array was first discovered by Er Tuzi, and Heavenly God Mountain only recently learned about it.
"What's done is done, forget it, I won't hold it against him, but he'll still have to beg me when we meet again, heh!" Baldy was very arrogant.
"Please?" Yunxi sneered.
"Alright, stop arguing. Uncle Dragon King has been in seclusion for ten years. I wonder when he will come out." Shi Hao missed his Uncle Dragon King.
He had finished all the Wahaha drinks and snacks years ago, and now he was just waiting for Lin Qing to come out of seclusion.
Yunxi snorted coldly at Er Tuzi before saying, "Hmph, Uncle Dragon King, could it be that you're related to dragons?"
Shi Hao smiled but didn't say anything.
Yunxi, Huoling'er, the Nine-Headed Lion, and the others all looked at the villa covered with arrays, their hearts filled with trepidation.
Even the mysterious little tower tied to Shi Hao's hair was slightly shocked. You see, every time the little tower saw this villa, the aura emanating from it made it tremble.
The next morning, Shi Hao and the others did not linger. They took Er Tuzi and headed to the Ancient Divine Mountain of Yun Xi's faction.
At the entrance of Shicun, inside the villa.
Lin Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed, and two beams of black light emanated from them.
"The results will be revealed today."
Within the space within his sleeve, Lin Qing kept a close eye on the surroundings, sensing the aura of the space's absorption and trying to comprehend it.
At this time, the Western Mausoleum Realm had already expanded to a range of hundreds of thousands of miles, and it was now devouring the last piece of space here.
"Swallow it!" the spirit roared, and suddenly devoured the last bit of space.
Suddenly, only the vast Xiling Realm remained in this void.
"Quickly, send me out. I'm about to become part of the Underworld. The Great Dao is incomplete here; I'll fail," the Realm Spirit said anxiously.
Lin Qing immediately soared into the sky, and an opening automatically appeared above the villa, allowing Lin Qing to fly out and land thousands of feet above Stone Village.
"Hmm? You've emerged from seclusion?" Liu Shen murmured.
"Come out!"
Lin Qing reached directly into the nearly destroyed space with his left hand, and a large hand grabbed the Xiling Realm, which spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, and pulled it out.
With a "whoosh," the void space that no longer contained the Western Mausoleum Realm vanished instantly.
"Boom!"
A black continent appeared in the sky above the desolate region, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of miles.
The tribes, ferocious beasts, remnants, and pure-blooded creatures living within this area all looked up at the sky in horror.
The entire sky turned dark, and if it weren't for the faint golden light emanating from beneath the black continent, it would have been pitch black.
"My God, what is that?"
"Is a great calamity approaching?"
"This is a catastrophe, my God!"
"What kind of divine power is this, to actually transform an entire continent?"
At this moment, the Stone Kingdom was shaken, and not only the Stone Kingdom, but the entire desolate region was shaken, because the continent in the sky was so huge that it could be seen flying even from millions of miles away.
"The great calamity of heaven and earth has arrived!" In their eyes, the great calamity of heaven and earth had truly arrived.
Immediately, countless Venerable Ones soared into the sky, fleeing in the opposite direction of the continent.
Some Venerable Ones severed their cultivation levels and retreated to the Formation Realm, simply to avoid this great calamity.
The gods hidden in the desolate region became even more secretive, daring not to make any rash moves.
Taigu Divine Mountain, Shi Haoyunxi and his group.
"Not good! Quick, quick! Gather the treasures needed to repair the formation immediately!" Er Tuzi roared.
Immediately, chickens and dogs scattered and jumped around on the ancient sacred mountain.
"Why do I feel something's off?" Baldy looked at the black continent floating in the distance, his anxiety mixed with confusion.
A ripple appeared in the void, as if the beings from the upper realm were using their magic to discover this continent.
However, in the end, they did not come.
A crisp chain sound rang out, and countless chains of divine law appeared, completely trapping the black continent.
"I am still too weak, otherwise I would have swallowed up the world."
The spirit began to absorb the spiritual energy and laws of the desolate region to replenish itself.
At this moment, no one in the entire desolate region could absorb any spiritual energy, because all the spiritual energy had been absorbed by the Black Continent.
"Boom!" A blood-red lightning pillar thousands of feet long descended from the sky, slamming into the black continent.
At this moment, all living beings above the Blood Transformation Realm in the entire desolate region were suffocated by the destructive aura of the lightning pillar.
However, this massive hole, thousands of feet deep, is like a mosquito bite on this continent spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
After the crimson lightning tribulation struck, the absorption of spiritual energy ceased, and the divine chains of law that had trapped the black continent merged with it.
At this moment, the Black Continent underwent a qualitative change. The absorbed spiritual energy and chaotic energy from the void instantly transformed into Netherworld energy, successfully becoming a small Netherworld.
At the same time, the souls of countless dead beings began to fly into the Black Continent. They were very fast, and within just a few seconds, tens of thousands had already flown in.
These souls can survive in small-scale underworlds. Once they have absorbed a certain amount of underworld energy, they will no longer be confused and will begin to develop intelligence or regain their memories from their previous lives.
Of course, this is only a small underworld, which can only absorb the souls of mortals. Within this realm, it can also absorb the souls of those at the Blood Transformation Realm. Above that, it can only actively absorb them.
"Boom!"
The underworld suddenly began to fade away. It was going against its previous words and did not want to acknowledge Lin Qing as its master. It was trying to escape.
"Idiot, you still want to be my master? I have already transformed into the underworld. Once I disappear into the void, no one will be able to find me."
"Once I remain hidden beneath this world for a few hundred thousand years, I can become the true underworld, and at that time I will be able to absorb even the souls of the upper realm."
"At that time, I will transform into the Underworld, control the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and become the Lord of the Underworld!" The spirit of the realm was excited just thinking about it.
Chapter 578 He Can Really Run Fast (Seeking Recommendations and Monthly Tickets)
"Trying to run? Do you think I don't exist?"
A pair of large hands gripped the edge of the black continent, attempting to pull it out of the void.
However, the black continent shrank rapidly and then disappeared into the void.
Lin Qing gazed at the azure sky, remaining silent for a long time.
"Your magic is still a bit weak, but do you think I can't catch you?" Lin Qing chuckled.
With a light stroke of his finger in the air, a three-meter-long spatial rift appeared in front of him, and Lin Qing stepped into it.
"Huh? How come that continent has disappeared?"
"What about the great calamity of heaven and earth?"
"Could it be that it wasn't a great calamity, but rather a great opportunity?"
Some of the powerful individuals who had escaped were at a loss when they could no longer sense the black continent.
Immediately, some bold and powerful individuals flew over, perhaps thinking this was a small world, but for some reason they arrived in the desolate region and then disappeared.
"As expected, it wasn't a catastrophe. It gave me quite a fright, but the formation still needs to be repaired quickly!" Er Tu Zi stood atop the sacred mountain, gazing into the distance.
A few days later, Er Tu Zi completed the repair of the altar formation, and Yun Xi and the rest of the family went to the Upper Realm together.
Meanwhile, Er Tuzi also stayed in the lower realm. At this time, Shi Hao couldn't wait to return to Stone Village and ask Liu Shen about the events that happened that day.
Finally, Shi Hao and his group set off, using the magic array here to travel separately. The nine-headed lion, the fire crow, and others bid each other farewell and returned to their respective clans.
