Fragmented Divinity Mountain cracked further from the pressure radiating from the God King's skull. The Gods gathered on the peak felt their souls tremble at the skull's overwhelming aura. They had no idea what the blazing skull truly was, but they could tell there was no way Fragmented Divinity Mountain would survive even a collision with it. Even one impact would cause the mountain to crumble. Though the God King's skull had yet to do anything extraordinary, the mere fiery aura it exuded inspired a dreadful feeling of their souls bursting into flames. "A human with black hair and black eyes!" "It's him! Pang Jian from the Abyss! I saw him fight Yuan Yi in the Nether Abyss! He ruined Yuan Yi's plan for the Nether Abyss!" shouted one of the Gods in a panic. All the Gods atop the mountain peak turned to look at Pang Jian with curious expressions. Even the aged Can Ye appeared on the mountain peak, dressed in long green robes. With a calm expression, he faced the blazing skull and raised his voice. "I am Can Ye, the overseer of Fragmented Divinity Mountain. Have you come here for something, or are you merely passing through?" Can Ye stood on the surface of a pool where starlight glittered and strange creatures darted about. These creatures ranged from hybrid beings with the head of a bird and the body of a human to winged dragons or armor-plated frogs. All the beings within were peculiar, vastly different from the normal lifeforms found both in and out of the bizarre mist. Though Pang Jian had come here unintentionally, that pool piqued his curiosity, so he reached out with his divine sense to investigate. A strand of pure gold shot straight toward the pool beneath Can Ye. Can Ye's face darkened, and a white jade flask appeared in his left palm. Faint green patterns appeared on the flask's body as he lifted its lid, releasing a chaotic ripple specifically designed to disrupt divine sense and divine consciousness. A wave of green luminescence sprayed out from the mouth of the flask. Pang Jian's probing divine sense was cut off from his perception, as if it had gotten lost in the bizarre mist. "Fragmented Divinity Mountain is one of the havens in the bizarre mist for wandering Gods!" Can Ye rebuked coldly, "I know your name. I heard of what you did in the Nether Abyss and the Abyss itself. I admire your courage to challenge the Sovereigns above. "Pang Jian, as one of the new generation True Gods of the human race, I can tell you now: this isn't the place for you to throw your weight around. Your battlefield lies in the vast starry skies beyond, against those Outer Gods and those Sovereigns." Can Ye's voice rang out like iron on stone. Sounds of agreement rippled across the mountain peak as the Gods previously admiring Pang Jian became united in hostility. For Pang Jian to probe Can Ye's strange artifact without asking was an impolite and provocative act. Thus, all the Gods glared at Pang Jian, openly condemning him. Two terrifying suns appeared deep in the eye sockets of the blazing God King's skull. Another strange property of the God King's skull allowed Pang Jian to see the teleportation array hidden within Fragmented Divinity Mountain. However, the truly peculiar sight was the familiar cyan city that lay in the heart of Fragmented Divinity Mountain—a city Pang Jian had seen many times before. The key difference was that every cyan city he had seen before had been illusory. The one inside Fragmented Divinity Mountain, on the other hand, appeared real.

When the overseer of Fragmented Divinity Mountain heard those words, his eyes flashed with a strange light. "The legendary Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis doesn't actually belong to the bizarre mist," Can Ye said calmly. "It's a crystallization of wisdom from beings beyond. "Outer Gods can forge replicas of it, but even then, it's only a pale imitation of the real thing. "I've heard rumors that the genuine Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis sank into the bizarre mist. Why do you bring it up?" Can Ye asked, affecting obliviousness. Can Ye's attempts at ignorance only further convinced Pang Jian that the cyan city inside Fragmented Divinity Mountain was the real Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis. With that thought in mind, Pang Jian turned his attention back to the pool beneath Can Ye and those exotic creatures within. A God of the Spirit Race in charge of Fragmented Divinity Mountain, with the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis hidden inside. Genesis...that sounds to be in the realm of the Dao of Life. Could that ancient God of Life, Ling Yun, have some connection to him? Pang Jian speculated. Pang Jian maintained a constant connection with the Dao Source of Soul in the Nether Abyss while in the bizarre mist. This enhanced his insight and understanding of the Heavenly Daos. Subtleties he would never have noticed before and connections he would not have made had become easy for him to see. "I'm telling you, inside this Fragmented Divinity Mountain of yours is the real Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis." Pang Jian's eyes swept over the other Gods atop the mountain. "Did you all know about the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis inside Fragmented Divinity Mountain?" The Gods criticizing Pang Jian were all stunned at his words. According to legend, the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis had the power to create new races of life and forge powerful bloodline warriors from the blood essence of other races. There was even a rumor that the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis could resurrect the dead using their blood, though at a tremendous cost. There were attempts to forge replicas of the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis, but even that was no easy feat, with the fakes inevitably shattering not long after. The Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis had not been seen in the bizarre mist or the starry skies beyond for a long time. If the real Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis truly existed within Fragmented Divinity Mountain, it would be explosive news. Those Sovereigns would likely delve into the bizarre mist in search of Can Ye's Fragmented Divinity Mountain and the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis within. "Watch your mouth!" Can Ye snapped. "Pang Jian, you walk your broad road, and I'll take my narrow bridge. Fragmented Divinity Mountain is my domain. You're not welcome here anymore." [1] The Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis... Is the origin of the beings in the abysses related to the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis? Pang Jian asked the blue Soulstream. I remember that another name for the Abyss is the Tribulation Ground of Gods and Demons. Unexpectedly, the reply did not come from the Soulstream, but from his sister. The beings in the bizarre mist are all closely tied to the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis, replied Pang Lin. That is, apart from the human race and the Nether Race. The Fey Race in the Abyss and the foreign races beyond also owe their creation to the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis. Just having a Blood Vault isn't enough. Without the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis, even I would not have been able to give rise to those Fey Gods back then. The only one capable of creating entire races without the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis was Ling Yun at his full strength. The authority that this ancient God of Life wielded overlaps heavily with the functions of the Sanctum of Godly and Demonic Genesis. If I'm not mistaken, Can Ye used to be one of Ling Yun's most loyal subordinates. 1. "你走你的阳关道，我过我的独木桥", which literally means "You walk your broad road, I'll cross my narrow bridge." It is a common saying used to express parting ways and minding one's own business, often with a tone of mutual disengagement or refusal to interfere. ☜
