Fan Shen gritted his teeth. "Coward! Fight !"
But Nian Shi was already gone.
The void fell silent once more, leaving Fan Shen standing alone amidst the ruins of his battle.
His fists clenched.
"Yun Lintian..."
A cold grin spread across his face.
"Good. I've been waiting for this."

The battlefield stretched endlessly across a shattered tiline, where broken celestial bodies floated amidst the wreckage of divine combat. Three towering figures stood against a single woman—Yun Wushuang, her silver hair flowing like moonlight, her erald eyes burning with cold fury.
She faced three Primordial Gods, each radiating imnse power.
"I've already explained everything to you," Yun Wushuang said, her voice icy. "Nian Shi is the true enemy. If we don't stop him, he will consu all of existence."
The first Primordial God, clad in golden armor, scoffed. "And why should we sacrifice our power for your cause? Nian Shi has never been our enemy."
The second, a woman wreathed in flas, sneered. "You want us to weaken ourselves just so you can fight him? What happens after? We beco useless, discarded by the strong?"
The third, a shadowy figure with shifting form, chuckled darkly. "We are gods. We do not fight for others' wars."
Yun Wushuang's expression didn't change. She had heard these words before—countless tis, across countless tilines.
"Then you leave no choice."
Her aura erupted, a storm of erald energy swirling around her. The three Primordial Gods tensed, their own power rising in response.
The golden-armored god lunged first, his spear piercing through space itself. Yun Wushuang didn't dodge—she grabbed the spear mid-air and shattered it with a squeeze of her hand.
Before he could react, she punched forward, her fist landing on his chest.
BOOM!
The god exploded backward, his golden armor cracking as he crashed through several floating ruins.
The fla-wreathed goddess shrieked in fury, unleashing a sea of divine fire. The inferno swallowed Yun Wushuang whole—
But a mont later, she walked out unscathed, the flas parting around her like obedient servants.
"Impossible!" the goddess gasped.
Yun Wushuang flicked her fingers, and the flas reversed, surging back toward their caster. The goddess scread as her own power consud her.
The shadowy god, seeing his companions defeated so quickly, rged with the darkness, attempting to flee.
Yun Wushuang's eyes glead.
"You won't escape."
She clapped her hands—
And the entire battlefield froze.
The fleeing shadow god stiffened, his form forcibly solidifying as Yun Wushuang's power locked him in place.
With a single step, she appeared before him.
"Last chance," she said coldly. "Join against Nian Shi, or die here."
The shadow god's eyes flickered with fear—
Then defiance.
"Never!"
Yun Wushuang sighed.
"Then perish."
Her palm struck his chest, and his body disintegrated into nothingness.
Silence fell.
The golden-armored god, barely conscious, coughed up divine blood. "You... monster..."
Yun Wushuang walked toward him, her expression unreadable.
"Indeed. I am a monster," she said softly. "Since you won't help ... then you're just another obstacle."
She raised her hand—
And the last god vanished in a burst of erald light.
Yun Wushuang stood amidst the dissipating essence of the three fallen Primordial Gods, her silver hair swaying gently as she absorbed their power. The battlefield, now silent, bore witness to her overwhelming strength.
Then—
Space rippled.
A familiar figure materialized before her—Nian Shi, his golden eyes gleaming with amusent. He clapped his hands slowly, the sound echoing mockingly in the void.
"Impressive as always, Yun Wushuang," he said, his voice dripping with playful praise. "Truly, no one works as hard as you do. Hunting down gods across tilines, trying to rally them against ... such dedication!"
Yun Wushuang's erald eyes froze over. Without a word, her aura erupted, the surrounding space trembling under her killing intent.
Nian Shi raised his hands in mock surrender. "Now, now—no need for violence. I co in peace."
Her fingers twitched, energy gathering at her fingertips. "Speak your last words."
Nian Shi chuckled. "I rely ca to deliver so... interesting news." His smile widened. "Your son and I have ford an alliance."
Yun Wushuang's aura stuttered for the briefest mont.
"Hmm?"
Nian Shi's grin turned triumphant. "Oh yes. Yun Lintian has agreed to work with to eliminate Yin." He tilted his head. "Surprised?"
Yun Wushuang's expression darkened. "You're lying."
"Am I?" Nian Shi sighed dramatically. "Your son is truly... naive. All it took was capturing one of his won, and now he actually believes I have no ties with Yin." He laughed, the sound echoing unnaturally. "Adorable, really."
Yun Wushuang's killing intent spiked.
"You—!"
She vanished, reappearing before Nian Shi in an instant, her palm striking toward his chest—
But Nian Shi blurred, his form dissipating like mist as ti itself warped around him. Her attack passed through empty air.
"Tsk tsk," Nian Shi's voice ca from behind her. "Still so temperantal."
Yun Wushuang whirled, her eyes blazing.
Nian Shi wagged a finger. "No need to worry. I'll take good care of your son." His smile turned sinister. "After all... he's far more useful alive than dead."
Before Yun Wushuang could strike again, his form dissolved into golden particles, vanishing completely.
"Until next ti, God of Life."
His mocking laughter lingered in the air long after he was gone.
Yun Wushuang stood motionless, her fists clenched.
For a mont, she simply breathed, forcing down the storm of emotions threatening to cloud her judgnt.
Then—
Her lips curled into a cold smile.
"Fool."
She knew her son better than anyone.
Yun Lintian was not naive.
He was ticulous.
Calculating.
More cautious than even she was at tis.
If he had truly agreed to an alliance with Nian Shi...
There was a deeper ga at play.
Her erald eyes glead with determination as she gazed into the void.
"Lintian... just what are you planning?"
With a final glance at the ruined battlefield, she stepped through space, her figure vanishing as she pursued her next target.
Sowhere, in the endless expanse of ti...
Nian Shi would pay for his arrogance.
And she would ensure it...
