Chapter 621: I Was Wrong, But I Won’t Change

“Four Spirits of Heaven…”

An Li frowned.

“Is one Vermilion Bird enough?”

What a joke! With her current strength, even the White Tiger might not be a sure win.

Not to mention the Qing Long and Xuanwu, both at the Celestial Lord level. If she even encountered them, escaping might not even be an option.

“Of course not! We need to completely swallow the Four Spirits of Heaven to fully recover.”

“Then how are we supposed to fight? We’re not even a match for Xuanwu and Qing Long!”

It was clear that the Dark Origin God wasn’t as eager about regaining full strength as An Li was. For the Dark Origin God, having entered this realm, he could just train bit by bit.

Even if a Saint appeared, he just needed to hide until the Saint left. Then, he could come out and recover his power—no rush at all!

So when it came to problems like these, he could bring them up but wasn’t bothered with solving them.

An Li furrowed her brows, diving deep into thought.

Seconds ticked by.

An Li’s intelligence wasn’t the issue—she wouldn’t have made it this far otherwise.

As she pondered, one thought suddenly struck her.

It was about the River of Time battle.

The transformation of the River of Time would lead to chaotic time points.

In her previous life, the Four Spirits of Heaven were responsible for guarding this realm, and their role was to help the River of Time complete its transformation quickly.

The Vermilion Bird had also been taken away by the Xuanwu Celestial Lord.

Back then, the Xuanwu Celestial Lord personally visited, assuring Lu Ye he wouldn’t let anything happen to the Vermilion Bird.

Lu Ye didn’t outright refuse, but was worried.

His concern wasn’t for the Vermilion Bird’s safety but for the safety of the System.

The Four Spirits of Heaven were simply helping the River of Time, posing no real danger.

After the battle over the River of Time ended, the Vermilion Bird returned.

Upon returning, he immediately complained about being exhausted from long-term meditation and needed Lu Ye’s help for an extended recovery.

Back then, the Vermilion Bird was merely a Great Emperor, while the White Tiger had already become a Celestial Lord. Clearly, the main effort wasn’t from the Vermilion Bird, but after the River of Time transformed, the weakened state of the Vermilion Bird was obvious. One could only imagine how weak the Qing Long and the other spirits would be.

Definitely easy to imagine.

So this time, if another battle over the River of Time erupted, would the Four Spirits of Heaven assist like last time and again end up in a weakened state?

If she knew where the Four Spirits of Heaven were, could she take advantage of their weakness to consume them?

Possible!

Quite a high possibility!

An Li’s eyes began to shine.

“Maybe there’s a chance!”

Dark Origin God???

“What chance?”

“Do you have any spells that could quietly contact others or find their locations?” An Li asked.

The Dark Origin God… who does he think he is looking down on?

“I’ll teach you!”

The Dark Origin God wasted no time, starting to instruct An Li on some techniques.

Despite An Li having the Saint’s Dao and essence, she lacked the Dark Origin God’s memories. What she could actually use were only the spells she already knew.

Learning just a few techniques took her seven years.

“Why are you so dumb? You still have the face to say you were a Great Emperor in your last life?” The Dark Origin God sounded just like a parent who couldn’t hold back while tutoring their child.

An Li frowned even deeper.

Her temper began to rise uncontrollably.

But An Li held it in.

She knew this situation well, having seen Lu Ye almost lose it when he was teaching Shangguan Huanling last life.

He had angrily yelled at her and even hauled her off several times for a proper lesson.

Back then, Lu Ye’s temper was explosive—there was no calming him down.

The other women were terrified the first time they saw Lu Ye so angry; only Shangguan Huanling looked fucking excited, letting Lu Ye treat her as he pleased, as obedient as could be.

An Li thought Shangguan Huanling acted out of guilt.

But looking back now, what a joke!

Lu Ye’s explosive temper perfectly suited her taste!

Yet the fact that it made Lu Ye, with his normally calm demeanor, so furious really showcased just how infuriating teaching someone who refuses to learn could be.

But in the end, she learned.

Thus, An Li immediately set off to find the Vermilion Bird.

However, she soon frowned.

“Didn’t you say this spell could definitely locate the target? Where is he now?”

“Nothing found?”

The Dark Origin God was a bit surprised.

Shouldn’t be! This spell was quite powerful for finding people.

“Are you even competent? You were so full of confidence while teaching spells and still dared to scold me, and now after teaching me such a complicated technique, it’s utterly useless? Useless!”

If the technique worked, An Li wouldn’t complain. But now what is this? No use at all? And she got scolded for this? What was that all about?

The Dark Origin God fell silent.

How could it not be found?

“Speak! Aren’t you confident? Wasting all this time—no wonder you got beaten by a bunch of people like that. What kind of Saint gets beaten up by a bunch of non-Saints? You’re just too weak. You’re practically at the bottom among Saints, and that’s why you got wrecked. Useless!”

The Dark Origin God…

Honestly, the Dark Origin God hadn’t endured such humiliation in a long time.

“You’re truly impressive. You’ve schemed for so long yet still remain in this predicament.”

An Li’s face flushed bright red at those words.

“Say that again!!!”

“Oh, I will. After all your plotting, you’re still hiding like a rat!”

“I’ll kill you!”

An Li shouted.

…

In the end, the farce concluded with the Dark Origin God apologizing. However, he realized something interesting.

An Li didn’t truly want them to perish together; she just wanted him to submit.

Like taming a beast, putting endless pressure until the other side yields and obediently follows.

Understanding this made it clear to the Dark Origin God.

There was no need to worry about angering An Li. If she did get angry, as long as he stayed calm, all he needed to do was apologize—simple as that!

To sum it up, I was wrong, but I absolutely won’t change!

Pissing you off, huh?

After all, he had nothing left to lose. Just a verbal apology? Sure, he’d apologize, but thinking he’d submit? Not a chance!

Bring it on, let’s hurt each other!
