After the first batch of people from other worlds arrived in the Thousand Mountain Valley and formed an alliance with the World of Terra's army, more and more people arrived with each minute that passed in the Thousand Mountain Valley.

They were also from other worlds.

When a group of nature spirits arrived, they saw the scene of carnage left behind by the World of Terra's army and its ally. There was a sea of destroyed and charred bodies of the Willow Tree Saplings on the ground, enough to make several tall mountains if they were all gathered in one spot together.

Among all those nature spirits, a tall and handsome man wearing a green robe had a thoughtful look on his face as he examined the battlefield.

As nature spirits, they were more close to nature compared to any other race. That was why with just one look, he knew instantly that these Willow Tree Saplings didn't have a normal origin.

'They are probably part of the immortal considering that there's a strange type of energy in them. It's probably the divinity from the immortal,' he thought to himself. 'Not to mention, it doesn't seem like they were born naturally.'

"Your Highness," said a nature spirit with a powerful presence who came to his side. "It seems that the people of this world and the War Deities from the World of Mars had teamed up."

"That seems to be the case," he said with a smile. Then, he looked at the people from the World of Terra and the War Deities fighting the eight, humongous branches ahead of them. "Though the people in this world can only reach the Sacred King Realm, they are by no means weak. The leader of the New Dawn Country is proof of that. It took dozens of Sacred Kings and a few Heavenly Rebirth Realm experts to take him down. Allying with these people is a good idea. As expected of the War Deities."

The nature spirit then said, "The New Dawn Country's leader is an exceptional individual. He's a monster among monsters. You cannot compare him with these people."

"Perhaps. But that doesn't change the fact that inhabitants in this world aren't strong."

"What should we do now, Your Highness?"

Faced with that question, he thought for a moment before saying, "With the immortal in the way, and the World of Terra and World of Mars teaming up, we will have a hard time getting that treasure."

"Hm."

"That's why... we will team up with them too," he said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Come again?"

"We cannot defeat either side on our own anyway so let's just join them. I believe the others will also join the alliance when they get here, especially with the immortal alive. But once the immortal is defeated or killed, the alliance will break and everyone will go back to accomplishing their original purpose in coming here which is the treasure so... let's just join them and kill the biggest threat first which is the immortal."

"Alright."

...

Yun Ling and Snow Fang were now near the Thousand Mountain Valley. In fact, it was already within their sights.

From their current positions, they could hear the sounds of explosions one after another inside the Thousand Mountain Valley. They could also see hundreds of dark smokes that had risen up to the sky far ahead.

Every step he took as he got closer and closer to the Thousand Mountain Valley made Yun Ling's heart beat faster. He could still remember the terror he felt when he encountered the immortal in the past... well, more like its branch. He stood no chance against it.

He was stronger now than he was then. Even so, his strength was still far from being able to contest the immortal.

Strangely though, he no longer felt too scared against it. He felt nervousness but not terror. That was because he encountered a being stronger than that immortal. His horizons had widened and the immortal...

It wasn't as fearsome anymore compared to the being he met when he ascended into the Fate Dominion Realm.

That being...

Yun Ling felt that immortals and even gods were far inferior to it. In fact, no being could possibly rival it.

Suddenly, Yun Ling felt the ring some spiritual energy being emitted from the ring in his hand. He looked down and saw that it was glowing with a faint, red light.

The ring was given to him by Yue Dongmei which was handed by her mistress, Yun Xia's mother. Yue Dongmei gave it to him so he could find her mistress faster. The ring was connected to Yun Xia's mother's lifeforce and so, the closer the ring was to Yun Xia's mother, the brighter the glow of the ring.

The fact that the ring started glowing now meant that Yun Xia's mother was inside the Thousand Mountain Valley.

"Snow Fang, go faster. We have to find someone first before joining the war," he said before putting on a disguise on himself. He did it just in case he encountered someone from the Jin Empire since he didn't want to be stopped and be asked to join the war before finding Yun Xia's mother.

Snow Fang nodded and sped up. He traveled several kilometers and got inside the Thousand Mountain Valley in an instant.

"The ring is getting dimmer and dimmer. We are getting farther away. Snow Fang, go left."

The lesser beast obeyed his command and went left.

"Ah, I was mistaken. We should go right. Go right. There... the ring is getting brighter again."

Yun Ling looked at the ring and was a bit annoyed. Couldn't Yun Xia's mother give Yue Dongmei something better to track her instead? It was a bit difficult finding her that way but...

He guessed it was much better than nothing.

After a few minutes of traveling inside the Thousand Mountain Valley...

"Oh... this is interesting."

The two shivered when they heard an extremely ancient voice from behind. Yun Ling felt that the one who spoke was too close. The speaker was just behind him, sitting on top of Snow Fang just like him.

Yun Ling looked back but found no one there.

"Over here."

They heard the voice again, this time, coming from the front.

Yun Ling and Snow Fang set their gaze on the front and were quite surprised.

Contrary to his incredibly ancient voice, the speaker looked like a boy who was no older than twelve!

"I see... so you're the Divine Being of the Divine Eyes in this generation," the boy said as he examined Yun Ling for a few seconds.

Yun Ling frowned.

"Who are you? How did you find out?" he asked. How did that person know who he was after just laying his eyes on him? He had put on a disguise so how was he able to recognize him instantly?

"Child, I've been around far longer than anyone in this world does. I had met more than a hundred of your kind to know one when I see one," the boy said.

"Who are you, really?"

The boy smiled as he answered, "I am nothing but a teacher."

Yun Ling's eyes constricted as he felt an extreme case of déjà vu. He felt that he already had this conversation before. He thought for a moment why that was the case when suddenly, it hit him.

When he ascended into the Fate Dominion Realm, he saw this in one of his visions.

This was what he had seen in his Divination!
