Saint Xin almost recalled his entire life and couldn’t find a moment where he had direct contact with Dao Ancestor Yi Ji or Dao Qiongcang.

Of course, this inscrutable branding with the word ’baffling’, he truly didn’t know when it had been imprinted.

Now that it has come to this, overthinking is useless.

Everyone who was branded with this ’baffling’ pattern became like moths to a flame, merging into the Sea of Memory.

Undoubtedly, Dao Ancestor intends to seize all the paths, with an appetite bigger than any Ancestral God present.

But how dare he even think about targeting me?

Fight to the end?

Saint Xin hesitated for a brief moment.

If he acts and goes all out against Dao Ancestor, the Medicine Ancestor and Xu Xiaoshou, whether or not he is Xu Xiaoshou in the timely realm, would certainly be freed.

But if I don’t fight, this ’baffling’ pattern branded on my chest might explode unexpectedly.

"Rather than waiting for death, it’s better to take the initiative!"

Just as Saint Xin made up his mind, intending to release the World Sealing Chains and join forces with the Medicine Ancestor to deal with the Dao Ancestor before turning back to handle that kid in the timely realm.

With a crack, the ’baffling’ pattern on his chest suddenly shattered, turning into spots of light and disintegrating.

"What?"

Saint Xin was immediately taken aback.

Instantly, many eyes from the five regions were cast his way.

This included the Medicine Ancestor’s, full of surprise and disbelief, even with a hint of "How dare you betray me" sentiment.

It wasn’t my doing...

Saint Xin wanted to explain.

This branding wasn’t something he dispelled with his strength; it just inexplicably disintegrated on its own.

Yet before he could speak, Dao Ancestor’s distant gaze arrived, smiling as he raised his voice:

"Saint Xin, I’ve shown enough sincerity."

"As per our agreement, I’ve removed the branding on you, but you must not interfere with the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass matter."

"He, is mine to handle."

Agreement...

What agreement?

Saint Xin searched his memory once more, confirming he never had any communication with Dao Ancestor, nor any memory loss incidents.

His instinctive pause, in the eyes of outsiders, like those suspicious individuals, more specifically the Medicine Ancestor, was profoundly meaningful.

"Saint! Xin!"

From the direction of the Western Region, the Medicine Ancestor roared, no longer using telepathic communication, but instead shouting angrily in front of all the five regions:

"We agreed on splitting equally, yet at the crucial moment, you’ve deceived me again. Do you really think I’m a pushover for you to manipulate?"

The five regions were in an uproar.

They didn’t understand this "splitting equally."

But they seemed to grasp the drama of Dao Ancestor intervening as a third party between Medicine Ancestor and Demon Ancestor Saint Xin.

What disgusted everyone most was that the scheme was already discovered, and Dao Ancestor openly discussed it before all five regions.

Demon Ancestor Saint Xin, still wore an expression of "I didn’t betray you," even loudly rebuking his Medicine Ancestor:

"Open your eyes wide and see clearly; he is sowing dissent!"

Is it sowing dissent, or can’t the Medicine Ancestor see it?

It’s just that the new Heavenly Realm wasn’t shaped according to your desires in time.

Dao Ancestor just became established, and you eagerly turn to his side, where’s the integrity of Holy Demon, where’s your faith and trust, Saint Xin, all fed to dogs?

"I’ve said before, I can forge the new Heavenly Realm, but it takes time and his Memory Path."

The Medicine Ancestor, furious, yet truly dared not break with Saint Xin at this time, pointing at Dao Ancestor, continued to shout: "He doesn’t need you to step in. I can handle it myself. You just watch!"

Just watch?

Saint Xin maintained the World Sealing Chains, his heart stirred upon hearing this.

He discerned something, refraining from immediately lifting the blockade on the timely realm.

Dao Ancestor had no confidence to face the three Ancestors of Demon Medicine alone. He chose to sow discord and forcibly pull himself into alliance.

Medicine Ancestor feared he might ally with Dao Ancestor, thus making promises, only hoping that he would at least remain a bystander and not intervene in the Dao-Medicine battle.

This means, I became the uninvolved one.

No matter who ultimately succeeds, he could share the spoils.

After all, neither Dao nor Medicine Ancestor are weak; the worst would be a lose-lose situation.

So, should he watch from the shore?

Naturally, Saint Xin’s heartfelt thought was "willing."

But with such a valuable opportunity, how could he not take a hard bargaining stance, hence glancing toward Dao Ancestor with a smile:

"Agreement?"

His expression nuanced.

Previously unaware of the "agreement’s" contents’s reason.

But since Dao Ancestor brought it up, this ’agreement’ could be both nonexistent and existent.

The key point is, what good price can Dao Ancestor offer to make me, Saint Xin, abandon Medicine Ancestor and ally with you?

"Indeed, an agreement."

Being shrewd, Dao Ancestor naturally understood Saint Xin’s inner workings from his meaningful expression, responding with a smirk:

"As per the agreement, once the new Heavenly Realm is forged, we split it equally."

"The Life and Reincarnation Path goes to me, Phantom Swords Technique, and Memory Path to you, but you still owe me a favor."

Oh?

Saint Xin raised an eyebrow.

You really dare to speak!

Now I’m truly curious, why do I owe you a favor instead?

Adulterer and adulteress...

Medicine Ancestor grinded his teeth, nearly uttering aloud.

He almost couldn’t hold back his killing intent, yet stubbornly refused to believe such absurd conditions while adding a favor.

He himself didn’t get such benefits; why would Saint Xin comply just because Dao Ancestor asked?

"Adding this favor is because..." Dao Ancestor dragged the words, sneering as he turned his head, looking toward the Life Seed before the Medicine Ancestor, stubbornly unable to become the World Tree, and said:
