The Nine Provinces Cauldron shone with divine splendor, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner radiated sinister energy, and the Qiankun Mirror created illusions.

You fired off entries one moment, and haphazardly tossed out combat resources obtained from the Shen Family during the previous "Mirror Wielder" selection period the next.

All sorts of things—Five Elements Talismans, Starry Explosives—crackled and popped as you rampaged all the way.

With just you and three old, weak, and crippled soldiers, you turned the Starry Domains upside down!

You: "I shoot! I shoot! I have the most garbage white entries to spare! Let's see you taste the power of internet abstraction!"

Ten Thousand Souls Banner: "I'll release three hundred demon souls first, then recall two hundred, recalling from this side first, then this side, then that side. The situation is completely under my control! Hehehe!!"

Nine Provinces Cauldron: "Hurry up and dodge, brothers of the Shen Family!"

Qiankun Mirror: "I was forced into this! No hard feelings! No hard feelings!"

You first fought your way from near the Star Force Mystic Realm down to the Sky-Earth Barrier below.

Not long after, you fought your way back from the Sky-Earth Barrier to the Star Force Mystic Realm.

Wan Sanqian and others from the Myriad Methods Sect were still in this area, buying you time by delaying the experts of the Shen Family's Star Martial Corps.

Seeing you fight your way back, just as both sides were almost "clarifying things" and about to cease fighting, Wan Sanqian pretended not to understand again.

"I, Wan Sanqian, have hated those who deceive their masters and annihilate their ancestors my whole life! Your Shen Family's actions today truly constitute ancestor annihilation! How could I stand idly by!"

Seeing this little fatty being so dutiful and responsible, you quickly shouted.

"Sect Master Wan! I need to enter the Star Force Mystic Realm, hold off the pursuers for me!"

Wan Sanqian thumped his chest with a loud "thump thump".

"Don't panic, Ancestor Shen! Just charge right in, I guarantee not a single fly will catch up to you!"

Shen Wanquan, Shen Yue, and a host of other experts gave chase, but were blocked by Wan Sanqian and the Myriad Methods Sect members. They could only watch helplessly as you plunged headfirst into the Star Force Mystic Realm.

Before flying into the mystic realm, you flicked the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, releasing several demon souls to drift nearby, serving as your eyes and ears. They could relay what they saw and heard to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Sect Master Wan! Do you know you've caused a huge disaster?!"

Shen Wanquan was furious.

Before Wan Sanqian could defend himself, Shen Yue said with a smile.

"It's fine. That thief fled in panic without choosing his path, flying into the Star Force Mystic Realm. We just need to catch a turtle in a jar."

Shen Wanquan said.

"Clan Leader, we don't know this thief's origins. He's covered in evil arts! He also holds the Founding Ancestor's soul as a hostage. If we act, we must be fully prepared. We must succeed in one strike and also retrieve the Founding Ancestor!"

"Since he's entered the Star Force Mystic Realm, then let's use the 'Star-Traceless Great Slaughter Formation' to annihilate him in one go! Prepare the formation!"

Inside the pitted and scarred Star Force Mystic Realm, you learned through the demon souls left outside that the Shen Family was about to catch a turtle in a jar, delivering a fatal blow to you.

"Qiankun Mirror! We've returned to the Star Force Mystic Realm now. What do we do next to escape the Starry Domains? Is there a Teleportation Formation here or a Doki Doki Door?"

You, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the Qiankun Mirror had already emerged from the small world inside the cauldron.

The Qiankun Mirror slowly rose into the air. On its half-intact mirror surface, bizarre and dazzling lights began to flow.

"Do you know what the Qiankun Mirror is most proud of?"

"Creating illusions? Predicting the future?"

"Wrong! It is seizing the creation of Yin and Yang, reversing the infinity of Qiankun! Time and space travel!"

You clapped your hands in delight.

"Great, great, great! You, this unimpressive-looking guy, can actually travel! Hurry, take us away from the Starry Domains!"

The divine energy aura around the Qiankun Mirror grew increasingly dense. The ripples of divine might radiating around it caused the space itself to ripple.

You could feel the Essence of Heaven and Earth within the Star Force Mystic Realm, far denser than that of a Heaven-Grade Spiritual Vein, madly converging towards the Qiankun Mirror.

The Qiankun Mirror was like a black hole, devouring it all frantically.

"No wonder you wanted to return to the Star Force Mystic Realm. You needed the Essence of Heaven and Earth here!"

"Not just that! Breaking the spatial barrier to achieve a spatial jump isn't as simple as just needing a massive amount of energy! You also need to find a spot where the spatial barrier is weakest to have a chance of success!"

You frowned, feeling something was off.

But there was no other way out at this point.

Just escaping the Starry Domains would be fine!

"Brothers, stand firm. Watch me put on a big show for you!"

The mirror surface of the Qiankun Mirror suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

You saw everything around you, as if entering a high-speed state, being stretched out like noodles.

Although you didn't feel any discomfort, the sense of unease in your heart grew stronger.

"Qiankun Mirror! Where are you taking us?"

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner said speechlessly.

"Bro! You're only asking him now?! Isn't it a bit late?!"

Da Chun was excited.

"We're off!"

Outside the Star Force Mystic Realm, the Shen Family had prepared a complete set of funeral rites for you. The moment you and the three artifacts disappeared, it came crashing down!

The destructive power was so immense that even though you were in the midst of a spatial turbulence, you could clearly feel its might.

Unfortunately, by the time their attack was launched, you had already escaped the Starry Domains, narrowly avoiding disaster.

When your feet touched solid ground again, you found that the noodle-like, stretched vision around you had returned to normal.

A dim, lightless sky, a desolate and lonely earth, a faint mist, a scent of decay.

"Where is this? Hey, A Kun, where is this?"

You looked down.

The Qiankun Mirror was smoking!

"Holy crap! Are you dead?!"

The Qiankun Mirror would fall unconscious every time it acted before, waking up with random memory loss.

This time, it directly attempted travel. Could it have exhausted itself too much and broken itself?

"Where exactly has the Qiankun Mirror taken us?"

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner floated beside you, its voice eerie.

"Do you even need to ask? Open your eyes and look around..."

Looking around.

You noticed wisps of soul forms drifting over from within the surrounding mist.

They had discovered your sudden arrival and were gathering from all directions.

A soul's appearance usually matches its form in life.

You saw that these souls all had beast heads and human bodies—they were all demon tribe ghosts!

"Demon tribe?"

One of the demon souls looked surprised, mumbling something unintelligible.

"What's he saying?"

The other party was probably speaking the demon tribe language.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner indicated it understood. "They're saying, 'A living being can actually see them.'"

You had the Ten Thousand Souls Banner act as translator.

"Indeed, I can see you. Where is this? The Eastern Wastes or the Great Wastes?"

The other party said, puzzled.

"What Eastern Wastes, Great Wastes? This is the Demon World!"

After hearing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's translation, your whole face was a giant question mark.

"WTF?! It's not even the Human World anymore??"

You thought the Qiankun Mirror was performing a spatial jump directly from the Starry Domains to the surface world.

You never expected it to take you straight to another world!

"No wonder it's smoking! Pulling off such a huge stunt, and it's only half a mirror. It probably played itself to death! Hey! Is the Artifact Spirit still there? Hey?!"
