To Xue Youyou, her heart wasn't as calm as she appeared on the surface.

From her very birth, she had been burdened with the mission to exterminate all creatures, a path that surely led to death!

Either she would be slain or sealed by those righteous individuals before she could extinguish all beings, or she would successfully complete her mission and kill all life in the world.

But even with the extinction of all creatures, her desire to kill would not cease; however, by that point, the only one left to kill...

Would be herself.

Thus, the path was predetermined from the outset, a dead end no matter what choice she made.

Xue Youyou even suspected that the madness of the Blood Demon from the First Epoch recorded in history was due to the discovery of this fact, driving him into a frenzy of despair.

But ironically, she, who should have followed destiny's script down that path, found herself blocked right at the crossroads of fate.

This discovery left her with mixed feelings of laughter and tears—she, who had earlier resigned herself to fate, even considering dragging Liu Rouxin down with her into corruption.

Now, although she could no longer cultivate, she didn't feel the slightest dissatisfaction; on the contrary, she felt somewhat relieved.

And when destiny fell into her own hands, feelings she had never experienced before swarmed her.

The most tangible was loneliness, the profound solitude of existing in this vast world solely for oneself.

Everything Liu Rouxin observed and experienced, she could understand. Thus, from childhood, the meticulous care from Xu Yi and Liu Yishou was something she could also feel.

But she knew all this wasn't meant for her.

Being a Blood Demon, no matter how human-like she felt inside, she still could not integrate into the Human Race.

At such times, she wished that there were a second Blood Demon in the world, if only to let her know that she wasn't the only one alone in this universe.

Hence, regardless of whether the Blood Demon in the Secret Realm could communicate normally or was filled with sin, she wanted to meet them. Not to do anything in particular, just to meet them for the sake of it.

Like finding a fellow countryman in a foreign land, to gain some insignificant consolation.

"Sigh." Xue Youyou sighed softly, picking up the book she hadn't managed to focus on and started flipping through it again. In the space filled with books, only the sound of Xue Youyou turning pages remained.

Three days were but a moment for Cultivators, but for the players, it was enough time to complete several simple tasks and improve themselves.

The fervor for the lolita Chief was still blazing hot, even attracting many new players to join. The inexplicable surge of new Disciples baffled the elders of the Blood Control Sect in charge of recruiting Abnormal People, not understanding what their little Witch had done to make these Disciples ask about her the moment they joined.

In the cave mansion, Liang Yi was still in his seated cultivation posture. His surroundings were extremely quiet, quiet to the point of near stillness.

If someone now came within ten steps of Liang Yi, they would feel an oppressive gravity far surpassing other places!

"Crack..." A crisp breaking sound emerged from within Liang Yi's body.

And as this sound rang out, the terrifying gravity around the space instantly vanished, and the suppressed air and Spiritual Power began to flow again.

The continuous "crack, crack" sounds from within his body didn't cause Liang Yi to open his eyes; instead, a dense fog, or rather, Chaos, began to spread behind him without notice.

As the "crack, crack" sounds reached their peak, Liang Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of sword light appeared from the Void, instantly cleaving through the Chaos!

A wisp of hair fluttered at Liang Yi's temples, and unbelievably, wind flowed in the airtight space.

This breeze, arising from an unknown source, swirled around Liang Yi while also slipping quietly past the Array at the entrance of the cave mansion.

Simultaneously, no matter where they were within the Blood Control Sect, all Cultivators felt a momentary touch of a refreshing breeze.

[Wind Spirit]: The first gust of wind born from the cleaving of the heavens and the earth, speed increase by 10%.

"What's this? Who gave me a BUFF?"

Numerous players, after feeling a tinge of coolness, suddenly found this BUFF on their panels, with a duration of a full six hours.

Moreover, this BUFF was extremely powerful; the simple words 'speed increase' encompassed all aspects related to speed. Dodging, running, charging, swords swinging, blades retracting, and more, all included.

Currently, only players in Medicine Valley could apply BUFFs, and due to level restrictions, the effects were average at best. So, players preferred consuming Spirit Food and Spiritual Wine for BUFFs—it was efficient and effective, with the only downside being the cost.

This unexpected BUFF was the equivalent of consuming premium Third Grade Spirit Food, saving them a significant amount of spiritual coins.

But that wasn't all. Along with the breeze, moist droplets, the refreshing natural fragrance, the heartwarming flame, and the solid earth appeared one after another.

[Water Spirit][Wood Spirit][Fire Spirit][Earth Spirit]

Constitution, strength, critical hit, Mana also increased.

Now, even the players realized there was something amiss.

"Ah, what... could the sect be giving out benefits?" The players were bewildered, scratching their heads without a clue, and saw that even the native Disciples around them were confused.

"Hey, these two little ones sure are a handful!" Standing atop a mountain, Xu Yi's fingertips were surrounded by the five elemental spirits, now swirling and forming the most perfect balance due to the breeze.
