The beast looked at the ghost commander for a bit before slowly raising the paw that it had been licking.

The ghost commander didn't even have a chance to react as the paw suddenly fell down and cut right through the ghost commander. The ghost commander wasn't able to fight back at all as the golden glowing claw cut through it like a hot knife through butter.

In the end, the several parts of the ghost commander had fallen to the ground and began turning into ashes.

All the ghost commanders around had seen this, but not a single one of them dared to look directly at the corpse of their comrade on the ground. To them, it was like this ghost commander that was slowly turning into ashes didn't exist at all.

As for the beast, naturally it didn't care about the ghost commander at all, as shown by how it had killed it without a single bit of hesitation.

It didn't look at the ghost commander that was disappearing on the ground as it looked over the ghost commanders around it before saying, "Now, do any of you have any real ideas for me?"

As the gaze of the beast fell over the various ghost commanders gathered here, all of them turned away from that gaze. With the way that they were reacting, it was almost like the gaze of the beast was like the gaze of a predator falling over them.

Seeing that not a single one of them said a thing, the beast didn't care about them any longer and turned back to looking downwards at the tree.

After another few seconds passed, it gave a sigh before muttering to itself, "Master's plan already accounted for this, so this should be fine. After all, the whale itself is restricted by the gods on what it can tell him. As long as it isn't willing to risk its life and tell that kid everything, it should be fine."

After thinking for a few more seconds, it turned to the ghost commanders and asked, "Have you gotten the other candidates in yet?"

The ghost commanders looked at each other, before one of them came forward and said, "The door is opening right now, they will be inside very soon."

The beast was silent for a bit before saying, "Hurry it up. I want them inside as soon as possible."

The ghost commander nodded before saying, "Yes, we'll go as fast as we can."

After that, bringing several other ghost commanders with him, this ghost commander jumped off the tree.

The beast just sat there with a thoughtful look in its eyes, but it didn't do anything else this time.

The ghost commanders looked like they had all been pardoned when they saw this. Without making a sound, they all moved away from the beast, but they still stayed in the branches of the tree. They tried to put as much space as possible between them and the beast.

The beast didn't care about them previously, so it didn't care about them now either.

After they were all gone, the beast muttered to itself, "Master's plan was so simple, but now it's all so complicated. Just what went wrong?"

…

After the golden beam of light fell down on the barrier, it lasted a few more seconds before it finally disappeared. 

Even after it disappeared, the barrier still remained in place, but compared to before, it was clearly much more transparent.

But still, it was able to stay in place.

After the beam of light disappeared, the little girl's expression returned to normal as she turned back to Lin Fan and asked, "So, what are you planning on doing now?"

Lin Fan looked at the pebble in his hand before asking, "Is there no way to stop all of this?"

The little girl looked at Lin Fan for a bit before giving a sigh and shaking her head, "This is all part of the plan, there's no going back now since you already have all of this. After all, this is something that is on a completely different scale. But I'm certain that you'll know what to do."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this and he asked, "Why are you certain about that?"

The little girl looked at him with a sweet smile before saying, "Just a feeling."

Lin Fan felt doubtful about this, but he didn't choose to continue arguing about that since it didn't matter. What mattered instead was rather something else that Lin Fan had his doubts about.

Lin Fan hesitated a bit before asking, "You can control this energy, so just where does this energy come from?"

The little girl didn't answer right away this time, but rather she looked at Lin Fan with a deep look as if she was debating on whether she should speak or not. In the end, she opened her mouth before closing it and giving a sigh before opening her mouth again.

She repeated this a few times, but she still didn't say anything in the end.

That was until the whale behind her suddenly called out.

When she heard this call, she turned around to look at the whale in surprise before saying, "Xiao Jing, are you serious? If we tell them, mother will be angry with us."

The whale called out again, but this made the little girl knit her brows even more as she said, "I know that they are good people, but this involves secrets that are far beyond them."

The whale called out one more time and this time the little girl had a look of complete disbelief on her face as she immediately turned back to Lin Fan to look him over before turning back to ask, "Are you serious about this? You know that this isn't something that you can joke about, right?"

The whale suddenly blew out a spray of water from its blowhole, almost as if it was protesting the doubt that the little girl had towards it.

The little girl also pouted her lips and said, "You know that how serious this is, can you blame me for having my doubts?"

The whale called out again before flapping its fin, creating a wave that rocked the boat.

Well, rock the boat was putting it gently since this was a whale that was much bigger than the boat. The moment the waves that the whale created hit the boat, it came very close to tipping over, but it fell back at the very last second.

When Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen saw this, they couldn't help getting worried, but also they gave a bitter laugh in their heart. After all, if they were to be capsized because of an argument between a little girl and a whale, they really wouldn't know who to explain it if anyone ever asked. Though it would be strange if someone did ask.

Seeing that they weren't planning on stopping, Lin Fan came forward and said, "What are you two talking about?"

The little girl and the whale jolted when they heard this, but it also stopped their argument since they realized where they were.

The little girl revealed an awkward smile which looked like a little girl who had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. But after that awkward smile, she said, "Well, it's hard to answer your question, but Xiao Jing has given me an answer."

Seeing that she wasn't saying anything after that, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "What is that answer?"

The little girl hesitated once again to speak, but this time she didn't just stop. After a pause, she said, "I can't tell you what kind of power this is, but I can tell you where this power comes from. The golden energy, it's a power that comes from the gods themselves. It's a power that only the gods can control."

"Gods?" Lin Fan muttered to himself.

Gods, the peak of cultivation in this universe.

He had heard the word god being used many times, but he had never learned exactly what they represented.

However, a power that only the gods can control, this definitely wasn't anything simple.

But if this was a power that only the gods could control, why did it appear in these ruins?

Could it be that the gods were behind this?

Lin Fan had a confused look on his face and it was clear that he still wanted to ask more things, but the little girl didn't give him a chance.

When he was about to ask something, the little girl raised her hand to cut him off and said, "It's about time for you to leave."

Then after pausing, she added, "But before you go, I want to tell you that the gods are always watching over you."

Lin Fan was even more confused when he heard this and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The little girl looked at him and said in a serious voice, "It's exactly what it means."

Lin Fan was about to ask something else, but before he could talk, the little girl had already jumped off the ship.

The whale had dived back down while they were talking, so when she jumped off the ship, she landed right on the back of the whale.

She looked up at Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen looking down from the deck at them before saying, "If you need help, we'll come, but we can only help you once."

After that, there was something that came out of the water.
