“Phew... Kid, we finally made it out.”

The morning sun shone on Li Muyang, and Wei Sandao, who had finally escaped the Myriad Great Mountains, collapsed on the ground, instantly bleeding from a head wound.

A demon cultivator of at least the Divine Travel Realm was injured by a roadside stone, showing how weak Wei Sandao was at that moment.

But even with a bleeding head, he did not tend to his wound. Instead, he lay exhausted on the ground, closed his eyes, and greedily absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, soon starting to snore.

This brute, who had escaped death, was now in a deep sleep, his body instinctively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Li Muyang, on the other hand, took a deep breath, looked back at the undulating mountain range, and clicked his tongue.

“Black Cloud Village turned out to be such a sinister place.”

The usually inconspicuous village had so many terrifying things beneath its ancestral temple.

The experience of this third-stage cultivation game was simply incredible.

If those ancient evil gods underground were to lose control one day, wouldn’t the world be thrown into chaos?

Uh... wait a minute?

Li Muyang suddenly remembered something.

“The Black Cloud Village in 《Legend of Sword and Fairy》 had long been destroyed, and the wilderness outside Nanjiang City was fraught with danger, forcing humans and demons to coexist.”

“Could it be...”

Li Muyang looked at the Myriad Great Mountains before him and murmured, “Could it be that after the destruction of Black Cloud Village, those ancient evil gods poured into the world, leading to the end of the mythological era? Is that why the immortals vanished and the gods perished?”

The dark turmoil of thousands of years ago was shrouded in mystery.

That turmoil affected the entire world.

From true immortals and gods to wild demons... all extraordinary creatures were wiped out.

There were no extraordinary beings on this land for a long time after the dark turmoil.

There were no cultivators, no demons, not even evil spirits, and the history of the cultivation world was a blank slate.

The various sects of the current cultivation world were all created by once ordinary people who, by various chances, picked up ancient inheritances and gradually founded their own forces and sects. They are all new powers. ?

For example, the Demon Refining Sect, which now holds considerable power in the demonic path, was established only a thousand years ago and has only three generations of inheritance.

Regarding how the ancient dark turmoil happened, how the immortals and gods disappeared, and the reasons for the turmoil... people could only speculate and guess based on clues.

Now, through the game, Li Muyang seemed to have glimpsed a perilous aspect of the ancient times.

If, after the destruction of Black Cloud Village, all those ancient evil gods from beneath the ancestral temple entered the world, it would indeed be a great disaster.

But upon further thought, could these ancient evil gods alone destroy an era?

However, after sitting in place for a while and with game time still flying by, the system rewards were nowhere to be seen.

Li Muyang then slapped his forehead after remembering this game’s essence.

“This is a nurturing game, dammit!”

The goal of each stage was to increase Xiao Yecao’s favorability.

The previous two times he completed the game, he received system rewards only after raising Xiao Yecao’s favorability.

This time was clearly the same.

After sitting in place for quite a while and ten days passing in the game, the unconscious Xiao Yecao finally murmured and woke up in Li Muyang’s arms.

“E... Elder Brother?”

Xiao Yecao opened her eyes somewhat confusedly and instinctively looked around.

During the second half of the escape from the Myriad Great Mountains, Xiao Yecao was completely unconscious, relying entirely on Li Muyang’s support, completely unaware of what was happening.

Now, as she opened her eyes, she saw the vast plains unfolding before her, with the mountain range rising and falling in the distance.

Xiao Yecao hurriedly sat up, shyly lowered her head, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

“I’ve been a drag...”

Perhaps due to weakness, the girl’s voice was slightly sweet and tender, with a hint of coquettishness.

Li Muyang glanced at the favorability bar in the upper right corner.

【Xiao Yecao: 59】

This little girl’s favorability had been stuck on this number for a long time, and even teaching her cultivation methods didn’t increase it.

Xiao Yecao looked around and, after Wei Sandao had long gone, hesitated slightly.

Then she spoke up.

“So... Elder Brother, where shall we go next?”

Options popped up in Li Muyang’s field of vision.

【Of course, we go back to the village. Don’t you want to return?】

【Granny said that after sending Wei Sandao away, we don’t have to go back... I want to leave Black Cloud Village and see the outside world. Would you like to come with me?】

【Note: This choice will have a significant impact on the subsequent storyline! Please choose carefully!】
