"Some disturbances?"
Sheng Ming created several qi screens and displayed several things, mainly regarding Jian Xieshen and the ancient demon races. "That man is the sword demon immortal who slaughtered countless races in the past. Huang Lingzhu had already killed him back then, but something or someone deliberately resurrected him, and he is currently in hiding to recover his strength."
Although they had never left the darkness, it didnāt mean they were unaware of the situation in the outside world. Therefore, they had heard about Jian Xieshen and his past atrocities from their ancestors. They knew that he was dead, and rumors said that another immortal killed him, but they did not expect that he would come back to life.
"I donāt understand how Jian Xieshen could return to life, given that Huang Lingzhu had already destroyed his soul at that time, which should have prevented his resurrection; however, reality proves otherwise. Heās back now, and heāll be powerful once he regains his past strength." Qing Huan and the members of his race gazed at Sheng Ming with curiosity. "As my husband said to you before, my name is Sheng Ming, and mortals in the past revered me as the Life Goddess."
"Life... Life goddess." They stuttered as they rose to their feet. "Weā"
"No need." Sheng Ming stopped them. "Honestly, I would rather not tell you all about my identity, but since you guys keep doubting us, Iām forced to reveal it."
After that, Qing Huan and the others looked at Ling Yun strangely because he was clearly not an immortal and was still young, yet he managed to get Sheng Ming to be his wife.
Ling Yun smiled casually at their reactions. "Our next enemy is the Ancient Demon Race, and they are truly powerful. As long as Xie Zuzhou is alive and hiding in his domain, we will never be able to defeat them because he is invincible while he remains there. Additionally, we still have a large number of enemies that no one except for your Dark Race can reach."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Mingāer." Sheng Ming nodded to Ling Yun and displayed the situation in the Desolate Abyss Domain, which shocked them. "This domain is the entrance to our final battlefield to save this universe, but none of us can approach that place, let alone enter it. As you can see for yourself, the darkness inside the abyss is too dense and evil, and it will drive us crazy. Therefore, we need people who can enter that place or help us enter there, and your race is our best choice because you are of the Dark Race. If we canāt enter there, we will never be able to stop the darkness, and this universe will be destroyed and return to nothingness."
"Weā"
"Hey, brat!" Long Hun shouted from a distance. "This matter will not only affect the people out there, and all of you will also die being swallowed by darkness. Our enemy is indeed terrifying and powerful, but we will not fight alone. Thatās why my successor wants to build his force specifically to stop it, and many people will fight alongside us, including those immortals."
Qing Huan nodded in understanding before asking. "So, what should we do?"
"For now, you just need to help the members of your race who havenāt reached the Three Immortal Realms to reach that stage as quickly as possible; otherwise, they wonāt be able to enter the abyss to face the people trapped there since the past era." Ling Yun immediately bought a large number of pills from all the shops in the system and handed them over to Qing Huan. "I canāt help you much, but these pills will be useful for all of you, even if your cultivation has reached the Immortal Supreme Realm."
Curious about the pills, Qing Huan took one bottle and peeked at its contents. He turned to Ling Yun again, speechless.
Seeing his leaderās reaction, Qing Yutian took the bottle from him and peeked inside. Just like Qing Huan, he looked at Ling Yun in stupefaction.
"These pills are indeed precious and expensive, but they will be useless if this universe is destroyed. Therefore, you guys donāt need to think about it, and I want you to distribute them to all members of your race. This way, they will be ready to help me in the final battle that will determine our future." Qing Huan turned to Qing Yutian and asked him to distribute the pills directly to their members, then he looked at Ling Yun again, uncertain about several things. "I donāt know if we will be able to win our final battle, but I donāt want my loved ones to die, so we have no choice but to try our best."
"Thatās true." Qing Huan nodded in agreement. "However, Iām still confused about your reasons for choosing this domain as your new base, especially since you already have your private domain. Moreover, the situation in this domain is awful, which makes it uninhabitable."
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed softly. "I do have my private domain, but I donāt want outsiders living there. I want my domain to be exclusively for my family, and they will live more peacefully after everything is over. I know that making this domain habitable isnāt easy, but Iāve recruited many capable people now, and theyāve already begun working to stabilize its nature. Once nature stabilizes, I will begin rebuilding this domain, and I will recruit many more people at that time. However, I will not recruit anyone carelessly, and I will only recruit those who have the same vision as me; only then will the situation in this domain resemble others."
Qing Huan nodded in understanding. "My race and I can help you with the abyss, but we canāt help you with matters in this domain because weāll be weakened once we leave this place, and we can only use our abilities while weāre in the dark."
"Thatās no problem, and Iāll take care of all the matters on the surface myself." Ling Yun lifted Sheng Ming to his feet. "Since weāve reached an agreement, weāll be leaving now, as we still need to check out the situation on the surface."
Long Hun spoke immediately. "Hey, brat! If you dare go back on your word, Iāll come back here and eat you all alive!"
"Donāt dare!" Qing Huan shook her head vigorously. "I dare not go back on my word, Primordial Chaos Dragon."
After that, Ling Yun took them out of the underground.
"Phew." Qing Huan was truly relieved after they left. "Sigh! Weāve always been living inside this place, and we never realized how dire the situation was outside. Fortunately, the Primordial Chaos Dragon and his successor came here to warn us; otherwise, we wouldnāt have realized that such a danger was approaching us, and we would have definitely died without a clue."
After that, Qing Huan turned off all the lights in the place, and he joined his race members.

As soon as they arrived on the surface, Ling Yun and Sheng Ming were greeted by strong winds sweeping across the domain. "I think you should try bringing Zhu Ling into this domain, Husband. After all, heās the Spirit Emperor, and he has control over multiple elements, so he might have a solution to this domain."
"Alright." A few minutes later, Zhu Ling arrived before them, and Ling Yun immediately explained his plans regarding the domain to him. "Can you do anything to stabilize the nature of this domain?"
Zhu Ling first inspected the domain area, and he also inspected several other things before answering Ling Yun. "I can control them, but itās not a permanent solution, and theyāll get out of control again."
"How much time are you talking about?"
"I canāt say for sure." Zhu Ling responded with a headshake. "Perhaps months or years."
Ling Yun let out a disappointed sigh before turning to Sheng Ming. "Should we check out the Forgotten Starfall Domain? Iām not interested in that domain because there are no ice mountains there, and the day ends earlier than in other domains, so thereās more night there."
"Hmm?" Sheng Ming thought about it for a moment. "Day and night arenāt a problem for us, right? Even if thereās no ice mountain there, you can connect that domain to the Frostmoon Domain using a teleportation device. Although it will be more troublesome for Lian Bing and the others to cultivate, I think itās much better than us spending too much time and resources trying to make this domain habitable. However, we should check the domain first because itās been abandoned for a long time, and Iām sure thereās a special reason behind its old inhabitantsā decision."
"I think so." Ling Yun sent Zhu Ling back to the Chaos Dragon Domain before taking out a teleportation device. "Iāll install this device in this domain, so we wonāt waste too much time coming back here if the Forgotten Starfall Domain isnāt suitable for us."
"Alright."
After he installed the device in the safest place, Ling Yun brought Sheng Ming to leave the domain through the void.

"Hey, cousin, are these female beasts Ling Yunās wives?" Xiao Lu asked Huang Zhimei.
"No." Huang Zhimei responded with a headshake. "They are descendants of the Primordial Chaos Dragonās followers, so they are my husbandās followers. However, he hasnāt thought about taking them as his wives yet, especially since our numbers are already too large."
"Oh." Xiao Lu nodded slightly.
