This secret guide appeared rather suddenly, making it hard not to suspect it as some kind of trap.

After all, these black goo creatures have always been eerie, never uttering a word, so their sudden transformation into a harmless demeanor is quite unprecedented.

"Why do you call me Master?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.

This time, the black goo did not display words, but the sound of crystalline oscillations echoed around Zhang Ze and Fuji’s ears.

"Master, you are Master. You have returned here, please take me back...to the original state."

Listening to this emotionless voice, Zhang Ze replied perfunctorily, "Master...your Master is a bit busy right now, please wait a moment."

"Alright...Master."

After appeasing the sticky black blob, Zhang Ze glanced outside the Imperial City.

He noticed that Xiao Maoniang was still fighting in the same place with the old uncle, not caring about this side. Upon entering the Imperial City, the talismans and hidden pins he left behind did not show any anomalies.

Meanwhile, Li didn’t need Zhang Ze’s reminder and had already started digging quietly underfoot. Unlike the previous flashy digging method, it now whistles carelessly while drawing circles with its foot.

Although it looks more suspicious this way.

While Li was digging, Fuji tried to sneak and pluck a little black goo to touch it, to see if this thing was her good dorm mate from back then.

But before she could lay a hand on it, the black goo suddenly entered attack mode, shapeshifting into alien-like swords, an intimidating pressure gathered over Fuji transform into a small urn.

The range was precisely controlled, surrounding only Fuji, as if drawing a circle above her head.

This sudden turn of events startled Fuji. Before she could react, she heard the black goo say.

"You’re not allowed to touch me? You domestic!"

Fuji, "?"

It felt very baffling, making Fuji chuckle in anger.

In recent years, Fuji has been living quite comfortably as the mascot at Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, never faced such criticism.

Even in the past, she was at worst treated as an Evil God to be fed, never heard of being termed a domestic.

Just as Fuji prepared her majestic body to stomp it, she saw Zhang Ze extend his hand to mediate.

Since in Baiyujing you cannot die, Zhang Ze was daring beyond compare.

However, as he reached out his hand towards the black blob, the sharp Sword Array mimicked suddenly wilted down.

"Master..."

Fuji, "...."

The preferential treatment was rather obvious.

Looking at these hierarchically defined black blobs, Zhang Ze was speechless, he stepped forward to touch the protruded head.

The gesture was completely like petting Maomao’s head.

He merely wanted to feel the texture of this thing, to see whether it was similar to Fuji.

Yet, at the moment of contact, he first read the fragmented memories of the black blob.

Subsequently, the ’Assimilation’ fragment from the Source of Ten Thousand Laws planted by Fuji, embedded within his fused Divine Soul, suddenly became clear.

At the same time, Zhang Ze’s perception inexplicably expanded, within the Holy Land, countless dust-like light spots appeared in his view, including fragments swallowed by Little Fuji.

The largest of these clusters was located underground in the Imperial City.

It was like a light ball resembling a waning moon, with its upper part massively missing, pitted on the surface, and hollow at the innermost core.

Both like the moon and like a worm-eaten apple.

This must be the Source of Ten Thousand Laws fragments collected by Xiao Jing.

Aside from the largest cluster, the remaining fragments all began to gather towards him, and in the merging process, he seemed to fuse with the Holy Land.

Mountains, rivers, plants, all blend into blood and bones, transforming all forms at a single thought.

This feeling was quite marvelous, even in some places in his perception, the existence of the Four Continents became clear.

Not a planet in the universe, nor the ground beneath, but truly a Loli Mommy.

He seemed to have become an equal existence with them.

Just as Zhang Ze was about to indulge, with his consciousness starting to blur, Li’s voice echoed beside him.

"Oi! Wake up! Don’t forget to go home for dinner!"

Li’s voice pulled Zhang Ze back from his lost state, he opened his eyes, releasing his grasp on the black blob, like a drowning person returning ashore.

Zhang Ze looked at his hand, the sticky goo seemed to have merged with his skin, unable to shake it off.

Moreover, his feet also connected firmly to the ground, a forceful lift snapped the filaments.

If Li’s reminder came a bit later, he might have fused into one with Baiyujing.

After reverting himself with the Innate Dao Body, Zhang Ze looked at the black blob.

Although this description is a bit grotesque, following the recent contact he could be a hundred percent certain, at least this blob had completely transformed into his shape.

While Zhang Ze looked at the black blob, the black blob seemed to ’watch’ him too.

"Master...why...why not become one."

"You first go outside the hall, I’ll call you later, and the Integration matter we’ll talk about later."

"Alright...Master."

The black goo retreated like a tide, exiting the hall and disappearing into the cracks of the underground bricks.

He looked at Fuji, recalling his own experience and said.

"These black goo creatures are refined Nine Huis, and Xiao Jing’s aim is indeed to become one with Baiyujing, then become an equal existence with the Four Continents. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"As for succeeding, whether he wants to annex the Four Continents or live as long as the heavens, is unknown.
