"The source of life for the Luo God Clan is formed from the remains of the Luo Shen Dharma Body."

"Just now, someone triggered a Luo River Resonance."

He paused, the corners of his lips curling slightly.

"That is an interesting little one..."

Zhu Kun asked, "Heavenly Emperor, what are you talking about?"

"What little one?"

"The anomaly in the Luo River?"

Gu Yuan put down the map, a look of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Xuan opened his eyes and looked toward the source of the energy fluctuations.

"It seems the Luo Shen Inheritance of the Luo God Clan is about to emerge."

Zhu Kun grinned and said, "Luo Shen Inheritance..."

"The Luo God Clan is about to become lively."

"The Blood God Clan, the Strength God Clan, and those people will certainly not let this opportunity slip by."

Gu Yuan said in a deep voice, "The likes of the Blood God Clan and Strength God Clan are not to be feared."

"However, that Western Heaven Battle Emperor, with his Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign strength, requires extra attention."

Xiao Qing chuckled and said, "So what if he is an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign?"

"Having indulged in beauty for a thousand years, he is no longer the War Emperor of the past."

"Nowadays, he is merely a name without substance."

Zhu Kun leaned in and said, "Heavenly Emperor, should we make a move?"

"That is the Luo Shen Dharma Body, ranked eleventh on the Great Thousand Worlds Dharma Body ranking!"

"If those people really succeed..."

Xiao Qing glanced at him.

"No rush."

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the the void and landing on that ancient divine city.

"Let those clowns make their move first."

"It is a good chance to see how much weight the waters of the Western Heaven Continent truly hold."

One month later.

By the banks of the Luo River.

Luo Li stood alone by the river, her long silver hair fluttering gently in the night breeze.

Moonlight spilled down, and she watched the starlight reflected in the river, her eyes filled with a faint sense of trance.

A month had passed.

She had been awake for exactly one month.

For this month, she had been adapting to this brand-new era.

Her grandfather had explained to her in detail the landscape of the Great Thousand Worlds, the plight of the Luo God Clan, and the enemies eyeing them like tigers.

And there was that Heavenly Emperor.

That mysterious expert who came from the Lower Plane, and with a casual gift of a jade talisman, caused the entire Luo God Clan to buzz with discussion.

Luo Li had never met him.

But she could feel that her grandfather held both awe and expectation for that Heavenly Emperor.

"Heavenly Emperor..."

She whispered softly.

Just then, the Luo River suddenly rippled slightly.

A wisp of starlight rose from the bottom of the river and condensed into a blurry figure in front of her.

The figure was very faint, so faint that its outline was almost invisible.

Yet, Luo Li felt an indescribable sense of intimacy from that figure.

"Ancestor?"

Luo Li blurted out.

The figure did not answer, but simply looked at her quietly with a complex gaze.

A moment later, it sighed softly and slowly dissipated, leaving behind a faint sound:

'Qing...'

Then it turned into countless specks of starlight and merged into the Luo River.

Luo Li stood dazed, remaining motionless for a long time.

The night breeze blew, and her silver hair swayed lightly.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and said softly,

"If I can truly save the clan from the brink of collapse..."

At this moment, there was no confusion in her eyes, only a composure and determination that belied her age.

"I am willing to bet on the future for the sake of the Luo God Clan!"

Chapter 326, Qing Emperor...

The night deep within the Luo Shen Hall was exceptionally quiet.

The moonlight cast dappled shadows on the stone floor.

The beads in the hall emitted a soft glow, illuminating the ten-zhang-tall statue of Luo Shen.

The statue continued to overlook the temple, as if guarding something.

On the altar, the chaos jade talisman hung quietly.

It had been placed there for a month.

Numerous Formations were slowly operating, and a pale golden light enveloped the jade talisman, ensuring its aura would not leak out.

Suddenly, the statue moved.

A faint blue halo seeped out from within the statue.

At first, it was very weak, but then it grew brighter and more intense.

The blue light was as pure as the water of the Luo River, as soft as moonlight, staining the entire temple in a dreamlike color.

The blue light slowly extended, gently wrapping around the chaos jade talisman on the altar.

The jade talisman trembled slightly.

It had originally been floating quietly, but at this moment, it seemed to be awakened by something, and faint patterns appeared on its surface.

Those patterns intertwined and resonated with the blue light, emitting a faint humming sound.

The blue light gradually receded.

The jade talisman returned to calm.

However, if one looked closely, one would find that deep within the chaos jade talisman, there was an extra wisp of faint blue light.

The blue light flashed and then disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.

A few days later.

Luo Tianshen once again brought Luo Li into the Luo Shen Hall.

The young girl had changed into a pale blue robe today.

Her long silver hair was casually tied with a ribbon of the same color.

A few loose strands of hair hung by the side of her cheeks, revealing that exquisitely beautiful little face.

Over the past month, Luo Li's temperament had become increasingly calm, and her expression remained cold.

Luo Li followed her grandfather through the hall door, bypassed the statue, and finally stopped in front of the altar.

There, the chaos jade talisman hung quietly.

Luo Li's gaze fell on the jade talisman.

The Chaos patterns on the surface of the jade talisman slowly emitted a subtle yet vast aura.

That aura was somewhat similar to a certain power she had felt during the Luo River Resonance.

At the same time, a strange feeling welled up in Luo Li's heart.

That jade talisman... seemed to be calling out to her.

No, it was not calling out to her.

It was calling out to something through her.

"Grandfather, is this the jade talisman bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor?"

Luo Li asked softly.

Luo Tianshen nodded, his eyes filled with complexity.

"Yes."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.

"This jade talisman contains a strand of the Heavenly Emperor's Law, enough to make an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign tremble with fear."

Luo Li looked at the jade talisman quietly without speaking.

She recalled her experience by the Luo River that day.

That wisp of the ancestor's remnant thought, that blurry figure, and the character that the Luo Shen ancestor had left behind, which she had not told anyone about—Qing...

Originally, she did not know what this character meant.

But now, after coming into close contact with the Heavenly Emperor's jade talisman, she knew that the character "Qing" might be related to that Heavenly Emperor.

At least, it was related to this jade talisman.

"Grandfather."

Luo Li suddenly spoke up, "I want to go see the Heavenly Emperor."

Luo Tianshen was stunned.

"Li'er, you..."

Luo Li turned around and looked at him, her gaze clear and firm.

"Grandfather awakened me, wasn't it to let me fight for a glimmer of hope for the Luo God Clan?"

She continued softly, "Now that the jade talisman is in my hand, if I personally take the talisman to see the Heavenly Emperor and request his protection..."

"Perhaps it will be more useful than Grandfather waiting here in vain."

Luo Tianshen was silent.

He certainly knew that this was an opportunity.

But his granddaughter had only just awakened a month ago.

"Li'er, do you know how many people are watching you outside?"

He said in a deep voice.

"The Blood God Clan, the Strength God Clan, the Bone God Clan, and the Western Heaven War Hall... they are all looking for you."

"If you leave the city, you will surely attract countless covetous eyes."
