"Hmm... Don't cause trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin relented.
This is a source of pain for both of them, because when Hongjun and Rahu fought, Rahu destroyed the Western spiritual veins, causing the entire West to become a desolate wasteland, a place where even birds wouldn't defecate.
As sages of the Primordial Chaos, they couldn't even find a suitable younger brother.
Having no other choice, we turned our attention to the East.
"Don't worry about me, senior brother!"
Upon hearing this, Zhunti patted his chest and made a promise.

Not only the two Western Saints, but also Yuanshi, Tongtian and others noticed the changes in the human race, but did not pay too much attention to them.
After all, their religious traditions and doctrines are not closely related to the human race.
Whether the human race prospers or not has little impact on them.
Nuwa Palace.
Nuwa stared blankly at the human race's holy city.
After a thousand years, are they still human?
When He created them, they were clearly not like this!
Ignorant and foolish, confused and ignorant...
But what about now!
Even the Great Luo Dao Lord has at least one!
Incredibly prosperous and full of vitality...
Most importantly, in his perception, the human race's fortune had increased by at least a hundredfold.
The good news is that, as the Holy Mother of the Human Race, she was born with 30% of the destiny.
To his dismay, the human race had broken free from his control, become utterly unfamiliar, and embarked on an unknown path.
...
A deserted town.
This is a small town located near the west side of Qingqiu Mountain, almost on the outermost edge of the human territory.
The town's garrison commanders were Guo Jing and Huang Rong, a married couple.
Since ascending to heaven decades ago and learning the fundamental laws of the human race, their cultivation levels have soared, reaching the Golden Core realm.
Over the years, he has guarded the border, repelled attacks by small demons, and maintained peace in the region, making great contributions.
Moreover, Guo Jing was honest and kind, and Huang Rong was highly skilled. With their combined efforts, the entire desolate town was brought to order and became vibrant.
On this day, in the sanctuary.
"Brother Jing, I miss Fu'er, Xiang'er, and Polu!"
Suddenly, Huang Rong sighed softly and said.
"Rong'er, I miss the children too! But with the legacy we left behind, they will surely ascend to immortality, and we will meet again someday, so don't worry!"
Guo Jing opened his eyes, took Huang Rong's hand, patted it, and comforted her.
"Don't try to comfort me. Nearly a hundred years have passed. In our world, those who were meant to ascend have all ascended. The last Taoist priest to ascend, Zhang Sanfeng, was only a little over ten years ago!"
Huang Rong looked sorrowful and said, "So many years have passed. If Xiang'er and the others could ascend, they would have done so long ago. Why did it have to wait until today?"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes without her noticing.
Seeing this, Guo Jing quickly pulled her into his arms and comforted her.
"Rong'er, don't overthink it. Maybe they've been held up by other things. Or perhaps they've started their own families and careers and don't want to ascend to immortality?"
He thought for a moment and said to Huang Rong, "How about this, I'll apply to the Holy City for a few days' leave, and then we'll apply to the World Lord, Little Dragon Girl, to go back and take a look. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong stopped crying, pondered for a moment, and shook her head, saying, "Ascension is easy, but going back is difficult! We have no relation to Lady Little Dragon Girl, so going back will be a bit difficult!"
Guo Jing paused for a moment and said, "I think she's quite easy to talk to. Anyway, we have to try her out to know!"
Huang Rong nodded: "That's the only way!"
"Beep!"
Just then, they heard a soft sound and both of them were startled. They stood up at the same time and looked towards the entrance of the town.
The entire town is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, enclosed by a wall with only three entrances: east, south, and north.
The walls were all built of stone, three zhang high and about one zhang wide, painted with countless Dao patterns, forming a whole, protected by an array to defend against small groups of demonic beasts and sorcerers.
Although there are no guards at each town entrance, there are automatic detection arrays.
The formation remained completely unaffected when the humans passed by.
