The man in golden armor nodded tremblingly, his eyes filled with horror, as he had no power to resist before Qin Yi.

He had been on Earth for almost a month now, and the strongest Qi Refiner he had encountered was merely at the Golden Core Stage.

Therefore, in his view, the people of this world were pathetically weak. Moreover, the people here were quite ignorant, believing they were gods.

Hence, they transformed overnight into exalted gods, exercising power and becoming revered.

He hadn't expected to encounter someone like Qin Yi, an intimidating figure whose cultivation level was terrifyingly high, and who immediately started a fight, knocking him from the clouds into the dust.

Qin Yi softly asked, "Where are you from?"

"Primordial," the man in golden armor replied, trembling.

Despite the man missing half of his teeth and his speech being somewhat affected, Qin Yi understood him.

Again, Primordial.

Qin Yi couldn't help but feel worried. Previously, only demons appeared due to the Heavenly Pit, but now humans had arrived, which was not good news.

"Has the Heavenly Pit appeared recently?" Qin Yi turned to ask the Vermilion Bird Envoy, because the pit hadn't appeared for quite some time.

"It's only in the last month that the pit has appeared sporadically," the Vermilion Bird Envoy said.

Qin Yi looked at the man in golden armor, "How did you enter the Heavenly Defect?"

The man in golden armor was clearly surprised, because in this world, people called it the Heavenly Pit, while only those from Primordial called it the Heavenly Defect.

"What? Is my question difficult to answer?"

"No, we were thrown into the Heavenly Defect."

"Thrown into the Heavenly Defect? What do you mean? Explain clearly."

The man in golden armor nervously began to explain.

After hearing him, Qin Yi understood that the man in golden armor was a mere test subject, and that those from Primordial had already begun to explore the Heavenly Defect, attempting to find out what was beyond it.

This man came from a Primordial family. During a battle with another family, he was captured and eventually thrown into the Heavenly Defect to explore its secrets.

Qin Yi's eyes flashed with worry.

The situation was not promising; those from Primordial had already started exploring the Heavenly Defect. If they find out there's no danger beyond it and that it's connected to Earth, they will surely come in droves, potentially bringing disaster.

"How many of you came altogether?"

The man in golden armor hurriedly responded, "There were thirteen of us thrown into the Heavenly Defect together."

"Young Master Qin, in just this past month, dozens of such individuals pretending to be gods have appeared in Longxia alone, not to mention those abroad," said the Vermilion Bird Envoy.

Qin Yi nodded slightly and looked at the man in golden armor, "Has anyone tried to return from the Heavenly Defect to Primordial?"

The man in golden armor shook his head.

Qin Yi understood, thinking it was expected, as these people were initially thrown into the Heavenly Defect as test subjects, and having survived, why would they go back to die?

Those from Primordial are exploring the Heavenly Defect, seeking time to find out there's no danger beyond it. Moreover, this time won't be very long.

Qin Yi already felt a sense of impending storm.

"Is our world beautiful?" Qin Yi asked the man in golden armor with a smile.

The man in golden armor nodded. Compared to Primordial, which is full of slaughter, this world is a true paradise.

"In this month, how many Goddesses have you chosen?"

"Six," the man in golden armor whispered.

Qin Yi slightly narrowed his eyes, "Where are they?"

"Spare me, spare me…" The man in golden armor suddenly begged for mercy.

Qin Yi's eyes hardened; it seemed those chosen as Goddesses had met a grim fate.

"Such a beautiful world shouldn't tolerate beasts. You shouldn't have come to Earth."

Qin Yi slowly extended his hand, his five fingers suddenly clenched.

"Crunch!"

The piercing sound of bones cracking sent chills throughout, and the man's neck in golden armor was directly crushed by an invisible force.

"Vermilion Bird Envoy."

"Present."

"Spread my orders: Let the Azure Dragon Envoy, White Tiger Envoy, Vermilion Bird Envoy, Black Tortoise Envoy, Peace Army, all Guardian Families, hunt these so-called Heavenly Gods without sparing any.

Anyone who defies orders will be executed along with their entire clan.

Those Qi Refiners helping these people will be killed without mercy."

The Vermilion Bird Envoy's expression changed drastically, quickly responding with a salute.

Qin Yi's current order was equivalent to the order of the four Guardian Gods.

"Dispose of the body."

After speaking, Qin Yi ascended into the sky, disappearing into the heights.

These individuals must not be spared. Those from Primordial don't know if there's danger beyond the Heavenly Defect, so they keep exploring with various methods. If even one returns alive, it will bring catastrophe to Earth.

He knows there is no danger going from Primordial to Earth, but those from Primordial do not.

However, whether there is danger going from Earth to Primordial needs to be explored.

Once the child is born, he must descend into the Heavenly Pit.

He is bound to go to Primordial at some point, as the method to save Duan Yiyi lies in the hands of the Netherworld Clan in Primordial.

Qin Yi gathered his thoughts and swiftly headed towards Yinfeng City.

Two hours later, Qin Yi's order had already been disseminated.

The missing Qin Yi had reappeared after a month with significant action, drawing the attention of all.

This news naturally reached the ears of the Guardian Gods.

Yet, the tone of the four Guardian Gods was surprisingly consistent — to carry out everything as Qin Yi said. Moreover, they added an order that any instruction from Qin Yi must be executed immediately without any delay.

...

...

It was already afternoon when Qin Yi returned to Yinfeng City.

He descended from the air, startling the Duan Family's bodyguards who nearly raised their guns.

Seeing it was Qin Yi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master Qin, you're back?"

"Young Master Qin, congratulations, congratulations."

Qin Yi, puzzled, asked, "Congratulations for what?"

"I almost forgot you've just returned, Mr. Xia is about to give birth, and she went to the hospital this morning."

Qin Yi was completely stunned.

Xia Yanbing is about to give birth?

But it's not even ten months yet?

"Young Master Qin, why are you still standing here? Hurry to the hospital; she might have already given birth."

Qin Yi snapped back to reality, his figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot.

When Qin Yi hovered above the hospital, preparing to descend, he sensed a powerful aura passing over him, enveloping the entire hospital.

Qin Yi slightly raised the corner of his mouth; it was the Azure Dragon's aura protecting Xia Yanbing.

"Kid, you're back?"

The scene blurred, and the Azure Dragon appeared beside Qin Yi.

"Thanks," Qin Yi said with a smile.

"Thank for what? There've been too many monkeys causing trouble recently; I've slapped dead quite a few. But I still worry that some fool might come to disrupt things now. I'm idle anyway, so I came to check things out."

Qin Yi didn't care about the monkeys or grasshoppers, his heart tethered to Xia Yanbing, asked, "Has she given birth?"

"Not yet; do you think she's laying an egg, just popping out? Your wife is just about to give birth, so she needs to prepare ahead in the hospital. It'll probably be another day or two."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, wondering why this old man spoke so infuriatingly.
