"Spring is here."

The residence of the destroyed sect, Wu Wang's dwelling.

A withered potted plant sat in front of Wu Wang, emitting a unique aura. Two green shoots sprouted from the originally withered branches.

The people around him exclaimed in admiration.

Mu Da Xian had a sudden inspiration and took the potted plant, then pointed to a square stool.

Wu Wang closed his eyes and concentrated, lightly tapping the stool a few times. After a while, a cluster of tender shoots appeared on the stool, rapidly growing into a flower bud and blooming into a pure white flower.

Ling Xiaolan exclaimed, "The divine arts are truly different from our cultivation methods."

"In essence, they are the same," Wu Wang explained with a smile. "The divine arts come too easily, without the process of understanding and learning, making it easier to know only the superficial aspects without understanding the essence."

Lin Suqing said, "Young Master, our cultivation is from nothing to something, while those deities go from something to more. Why do we have the advantage in cultivation?"

"From nothing to something starts from the smallest, making it easier to touch the essence of the Great Dao."

Wu Wang looked at Lin Suqing.

The old aunt's questions had become sharper recently. He had been busy with official duties and taking naps, and Lin Suqing was catching up to him.

But...

Wu Wang wondered, "Why haven't you reached the Leaping Spirit realm yet?"

"I!" Lin Suqing rolled her eyes in anger and said, "I'm not like a certain little golden dragon who has epiphanies in dreams, while drinking water, and even while eating. I'm already cultivating at a rapid pace!"

Ling Xiaolan laughed and said, "Miss Suqing should be accumulating strength, the time has not come yet."

"That's right!" Lin Suqing smiled smugly.

Wu Wang glanced at Mu Da Xian and muttered, "Don't you often enlighten her?"

"Of course, I do it all the time! Otherwise, how could she reach the late Elemental Infant realm so quickly?" Mu Da Xian proudly put his hands on his hips. Lin Suqing blushed and quickly ran away with Mu Da Xian.

Wu Wang's joyful laughter echoed in the cave.

The position of the Spring God actually concealed some hidden worries.

Wu Wang took the initiative to return the godly instrument and wrote a letter of resignation. If the Heavenly Palace pretended not to notice him, he would have no way to remove this godly position.

The Sky God, in the order of the heavens and earth, was equivalent to the 'official' of the Human Realm sects and could be appointed or dismissed at any time.

In the future, when facing the Sky God of the Heavenly Palace, there would inevitably be a certain 'rank suppression.'

The solution was simple—just use the protection of the Star God's Great Dao.

But doing so might expose Wu Wang's connection to the Star God's Great Dao.

Last time, when fighting with the Hissing Snake in the small world, the Heavenly Palace only noticed the Star God's intervention and did not know the situation of the Star God.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor Di Shun knew that the Star God had been 'substituted' by his mother, Cang Xue, and naturally thought that the Star God had severely injured the Hissing Snake last time, with his mother protecting him.

The subsequent events should have been secretly suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor's order, and the matter with the Hissing Snake was also overlooked.

In this way, Wu Wang would have much less trouble.

After returning to the destroyed sect, Wu Wang dug a cave for the Hissing Snake near his residence, and the current generation of the Evil God finally settled down, able to recover and restore his vitality.

The Sleep God played around in the Human Realm for a while, but after being 'advised' by Wu Wang, he began to stay in seclusion, sleeping soundly in his temple every day.

He was once very conflicted about whether to abandon this false identity and escape from this place.

In the eyes of the Sleep God, Wu Wang seemed more and more mysterious.

After learning a lot of information about the Goddess of Fate from the Sleep God, the desire to cultivate in his heart became uncontrollable.

What else could he do besides cultivating?

The daughter of the Candling Dragon, a friend of his mother's, although not good at fighting, controlled the path of fate, which was quite tricky.

It was possible that he couldn't win in a fight.

The Candling Dragon's divine lineage suddenly appeared, and if he couldn't raise his own path to the Transcendent realm before the return of the Candling Dragon's divine lineage, what awaited him would be...

A bleak fate of being forcibly paired with the Goddess.

The few words 'husband' in his dreams had become a nightmare for Wu Wang, making him very uncomfortable.

What did he do when he was seven or eight years old?

Why did he provoke the Goddess of Fate?

What role did his mother play in it?

Why did the Goddess of Fate change her appearance several times in his dreams, from a little girl to a young woman, and then to a mature goddess, only letting him see those almond-shaped eyes clearly?

Thinking about these things gave Wu Wang a headache.

Although it was shameful to escape, it could temporarily make him forget his worries.

Wu Wang could only suppress these questions, think of them in a positive light, and let them become 'a joke between his mother and her friend.'

Then he focused on cultivating, increasing his cultivation efforts, and striving to reconstruct the path of the stars as soon as possible.

He could either merge with the Star God's path and directly become a Star God, or take the Star God's path and replace it, achieving a self-enlightenment not inferior to that of the Sky God.

Behind this, there were two completely different paths of cultivating gods and cultivating immortals.

In the mountains, time passed slowly, and in the human realm, no one knew how many springs had come and gone.

Wu Wang's seclusion in the sect this time unexpectedly brought peace.

Most of the affairs of the Human Realm were kept out of his way. Every time he emerged from seclusion, he only needed to deal with the matters of the Punishment Hall.

Ling Xiaolan, who cultivated with him, made rapid progress in her cultivation.

As they cultivated together, their paths influenced each other, and they became more and more in sync with each other.

Seasons came and went, and in the blink of an eye, five cycles had passed.

Wu Wang and Ling Xiaolan's paths were both approaching the True Immortal realm, and Wu Wang's understanding of the path of the stars and the enlightenment of the Star God's path became even deeper.

When Wu Wang was in seclusion, Lin Suqing had plenty of opportunities to cultivate.

But she didn't stay in seclusion for long, and would actively go out with the Blue Bird to take a walk and chat, afraid of neglecting the Blue Bird due to Wu Wang's seclusion, which would make His Highness unhappy.As for the Sleep God...

In the days after returning to the destroyed sect with Wu Wang, he found himself suffering from insomnia.

"Ah, the Human Realm is not as simple as it seems, with many deep pitfalls."

"What background does Master Wuwang really have? A demigod causing a stir in the Human Realm, becoming the opponent that Deputy Deity of Lifespan and the others have been keeping an eye on, and even receiving the Heavenly Emperor's appointment."

"This place is unbearable... but at the same time, if I leave now, wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain? After all, the Human Realm still has the arrangements of the previous two generations of emperors."

With this in mind, the Sleep God reluctantly convinced himself to stay by Wu Wang's side.

As time went on, the Sleep God gradually discovered that Wu Wang had no ulterior motives towards him, and the Human Realm had almost forgotten about him, with no intention of drawing him in.

This also indicated that the Human Emperor had real confidence, allowing even a demigod like him to be left alone in this place.

In the following two years;

Whenever Wu Wang emerged from seclusion, the Sleep God would always come over, drink and chat with Wu Wang, trying to figure out his true intentions.

As time went on, the two of them became more familiar with each other.

Wu Wang found that although the Sleep God was too lazy, his knowledge and insights were as vast as the ocean, and conversing with him always brought more enlightenment.

The Sleep God also found that although Wu Wang had become a bit more cunning and manipulative, his character was still quite good.

Especially, some of the views expressed by Wu Wang in his conversations intrigued the Sleep God, always prompting this ancient god to think.

This made the Sleep God begin to secretly look forward to Wu Wang's future path, wanting to see where this strange demigod of human origin could go in the competition between heaven and earth.

As they appreciated each other, gradually, they also began to address each other as brothers.

Wu Wang called out "Brother Sleep," and the Sleep God called out "Old Brother Wuwang," and they got along very well.

For example, on this day, after five years of seclusion, Wu Wang emerged from his cave, stood on the arch bridge, and stared at the flowing water below.

The Dao rhyme surrounded him, and the stars appeared and disappeared from time to time.

"Old Brother Wuwang, what are you doing?"

The Sleep God, wearing a long robe and the light green sleeping cap that Wu Wang had given him, yawned and walked over, stretching lazily.

"It's really comfortable, sleeping in the earth is really comfortable."

Wu Wang collected his thoughts, and the Dao rhyme around him quietly dissipated, and he smiled, "I really envy Brother Sleep, not having to cultivate every day."

"What's there to envy? I also suffered in my early years."

The Sleep God, with his hands behind his back, shook his head, and the tassel on the top of the sleeping cap kept swaying.

"The speed of your strength improvement is not bad, your realm has improved, your divine power has increased a lot, and your body has become stronger."

Pausing for a moment, the Sleep God glanced at Wu Wang's cave and muttered softly:

"Brother, do you have something you can't talk about?"

Wu Wang's mouth twitched slightly, not wanting to answer this strange question.

He said, "According to the customs of our Human Realm, we must marry first before entering the bridal chamber."

"Nonsense," the Sleep God blinked, "When I was asleep, I walked through the streets and alleys, passing through the dreams of many human girls, and I never saw any of them waiting patiently to marry before entering the bridal chamber."

"Hiss! The Heavenly Emperor gave you the position of the Spring God, is it because he wants to help you... hmm?"

Wu Wang's face immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"What's wrong, not satisfied with those human girls?"

The Sleep God chuckled and took out a file from his sleeve, along with a piece of wood emitting a divine light.

He said, "If you want a certain type of girl, just say it boldly. Speaking of our current relationship, can I not give you some benefits? Nowadays, there are not many demigods with this kind of skill."

Suddenly, Wu Wang thought of something, and his eyes gradually lit up.

He had thought before about asking the Sleep God to help resist the forced sleep caused by the 'Touching Women into Sleep' condition.

But first, he didn't trust the Sleep God enough, as they weren't that close; and second, he felt that doing so would expose his relationship with the God of Fate. With the Sleep God's insight, he might be able to guess that there was something wrong with his mother's Sun Festival identity, thus threatening his mother's safety.

In the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Emperor knew that Cang Xue was the Ice God, but the other demigods did not.

If all the gods knew about this, the Heavenly Emperor, despite his fear of the Ice God, would have to take some measures to stabilize the gods' hearts.

At this moment, Wu Wang suddenly thought...

He could make up a story.

As long as he could make it sound plausible and explain his connection with the God of Fate, then he wouldn't have to worry about his mother being exposed.

Wu Wang sighed and looked desolate all over.

"Brother, I didn't want to mention this, but it's really... sigh."

The Sleep God's eyes lit up, and he pulled Wu Wang back to his own temple.

He placed Wu Wang behind a desk, and his slightly plump figure shuttled back and forth, leaving behind residual images, and brought out spirit fruits, human realm fruit wine, and an incense burner.

Then, he looked at Wu Wang with a piercing gaze, his arm against his cheek, and raised an eyebrow at Wu Wang.

"Tell me your story."

Wu Wang:...

Just now, he had felt a little guilty about deceiving the Sleep God, but now he felt completely relaxed, with no psychological pressure at all.

Deception, the art of language.

Wu Wang slowly began to tell his story, recounting a dream he had as a young man, of an endless grassland, a divine tree emitting a divine light, and meeting a girl under the tree.

He had this dream many times, and he and the girl became familiar with each other.

Then one day, the girl cried in front of him and bit him on the shoulder...

"She told me to wait for her, she would come back to find me."

Wu Wang sighed, "From that day on, I developed a strange illness. Whenever my body came into contact with a woman, even if it was an inadvertent touch through clothes, I would faint immediately."

"Is it true?"

The Sleep God's eyes widened, "Is there really such a strange thing?"

"You see," Wu Wang turned to look at the goddess beside him, and then dismissed the thought.Without Lin Suqing by his side, Wu Wang truly felt uneasy.

Immediately, Wu Wang ran back to his cave dwelling without complaint and called Lin Suqing over to demonstrate his narcoleptic symptoms.

Afterward, Wu Wang was awakened by Lin Suqing, who then returned to her cultivation.

The Sleep God, however, remained silent.

He gazed at Wu Wang, his eyes filled with a complex mixture of emotions, including a hint of anger.

The Sleep God had indeed caught a glimpse of the fleeting Dao charm when Wu Wang had fallen asleep.

Not only had he caught it, but during the last divine era, the Sleep God had brushed past the owner of that Dao charm several times, and he had been the Sleep God then as well.

"You…"

The Sleep God pondered for a moment.

Wu Wang leaned forward and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I think, since you've made a promise in the dream, you should keep your chastity and wait for her to come," the Sleep God said with a smile, sitting upright, "Isn't it indecent to take liberties in a dream?"

Wu Wang: ...

"Brother, I was asking if you have a way to cure this strange illness."

"How can I cure it? It's not within my jurisdiction," the Sleep God shook his head like a rattle-drum.

Wu Wang asked quietly, "What if you use the Great Dao of Dreams to draw a circle, curse me, and make me lose the ability to fall into deep sleep?"

"Fainting and sleeping are two different things!"

The Sleep God immediately said, "Little brother, you need to think carefully. Do you know who that girl is?"

"I have a rough idea."

"And you still dare!"

The Sleep God jerked his chin forcefully towards the direction of Wu Wang's cave dwelling.

"I'm not afraid," Wu Wang said calmly, "The most precious thing for a person in this world is the persistence and longing for free will.

I will decide my own marriage matters; I won't submit to a powerful deity!"

At that moment, Wu Wang seemed to radiate a faint light in the eyes of the Sleep God.

"Good!"

The Sleep God's eyes shone brightly, "What a free will, it reveals the strength of living beings! Which of the primordial deities isn't a slave to the Dao, a prisoner of heaven and earth!

I'll help you, but I can only give it a try."

With a wave of his hand, Lin Suqing appeared at the entrance of the temple, looking bewildered as Wu Wang called her in.

Shortly after, Wu Wang sat in a wooden chair and fell into a deep sleep with a touch from Lin Suqing.

The Sleep God stood up, muttering words, and a golden light enveloped Wu Wang's form.

"I banish you from your dreams, depriving you of the ability to sleep soundly!"

Wu Wang shivered and immediately woke up, his voice trembling, "Suqing, quick!"

"Okay!"

Lin Suqing tapped the back of Wu Wang's head, and the young master's eyes rolled back as he instantly fell asleep. However, after just two breaths, his eyes opened, and he was full of energy.

"What's this?"

Wu Wang's eyes widened.

The Sleep God also frowned slightly, muttering, "I told you, fainting and sleeping are not the same."

"Then how is this different from the self-torture device I had previously envisioned…"

Wu Wang covered his forehead with disappointment, sitting there dejected.

But he quickly cheered up and said with a smile:

"No matter, I will just continue to cultivate diligently.

Brother, please return my ability to sleep soundly.

Although I can now replace sleep with meditation, I often feel weak, and it's tiring without sleep."

"Eh, this…"

The Sleep God smiled awkwardly, speaking diplomatically, "You didn't say you wanted it back, this is a bit difficult to reverse."

Wu Wang: ...

"Brother, you can't do this to me, this!"

"Wu Wang!"

Outside the hall, the Celestial Sword Taoist came rushing in, his face showing urgency, and he called out before entering:

"There's trouble with the Lin family, Lin Nuhao has rebelled!"

A look of astonishment flashed across Wu Wang's face as he stood up abruptly, focusing on the Celestial Sword.

"Which Lin Nuhao?"

"The rising military family in the northwest, Lin Qi's father," the Celestial Sword gritted his teeth, "That Lin Nuhao!"
