West God Clan. mist Lake
When Cloudsky jumped down from the tree, he was shocked by the sudden appearance of Artemis in front of him. The fruits he had just collected in the basket in his hand spilled all over the ground.
Artemis crossed her arms and stood beside Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao with a wicked smile. Looking at the disheveled Cloudsky, the three gods looked very satisfied with their prank.
"You guys! Childish!" Cloudsky stomped his feet and said in exasperation.
"We're about the same age. We're childish, and so are you.”Qiong Xiao, who was at the side, walked over with a smile and scratched Cloudsky's waist, playing with Cloudsky.
Ever since four days ago, Zhao Gongming and his group had arrived at the Fog Lake under the guidance of Kaos, and the four girls had easily become close friends. As for Kaos, he placed all the skill books he had looted in front of Artemis, hinting for her to learn by herself. Then, he hurried into his room and didn't come out for three days…except for when he ate.
The other thing was that Zhao Gongming had built an imperial palace very close to the Fog Lake Palace under the Time Law.
Zhao Gongming and Kaos had one thing in common, and that was the way they used their godly power. Zhao Gongming did not waste any of his godly power, and every strike of his godly power was just right. While building the palace, Zhao Gongming kept releasing all kinds of nomological laws that dazzled people. The entire vast fog lake was filled with all kinds of nomological laws that kept spinning. Zhao Gongming, who was in the midst of these nomological laws, flashed like lightning. His speed was so fast that the air was filled with his afterimages, as if there were thousands of Zhao Gongming.
" Brother…is he alright recently?" Artemis asked worriedly.
"Other than asking me for a map of the distribution of poisonous insects, there was nothing unusual.”Qiong Xiao stopped playing and said,"Go ask Brother Zhao Gongming!"”
"Uh…Brother Gongming seems to have gone out. Penglai had sent news that they were going to establish a Three Realms Academy or something.”Bixiao replied as she licked her tender index finger.
"Oh…"
As soon as Artemis finished speaking, he staggered from the stimulation of the brand on his waist.
The brand on his body gave off an intense pain. A series of intense piercing pain attacked his brain from the brand. The signal from his body told him that his brother was calling him again and again, which proved that he was in fatal danger. In his memory, this had never happened before.
Artemis stood up abruptly. Borrowing the strength of the dragon race, he flew toward the palace in the center of the misty lake.

Fog Lake Palace. basement
In the dim light, he could vaguely see the rough stone walls around him. In the huge cave, there were only two dim lights flickering on the distant stone wall. The dying light could only smear a faint layer of light on such a huge darkness. In the darkness, only a vague outline could be seen.
The sound of dripping water came from somewhere.
The squarish underground stone room was emitting a damp and rotten smell.
In the dim light, Artemis easily recognized Kaos.
His clothes were torn and tattered, and his body was covered in brown blood. Even from such a distance, he could still smell the faint stench of blood. He was certain that there were many wounds on his body that had begun to fester.
Using the light from the stone wall, Artemis focused her gaze. When she saw what was in front of her, a disgusting sour water instantly surged in her stomach.
Those were beetles, one after another. Their backs were smooth and hard, giving off a round blackish-red luster. Their sharp tentacles curled up in their abdomen had already stretched out. They seemed to have smelled the scent of blood. They crawled along Kaos's legs and climbed onto his body. The beetles that climbed onto his body first stopped on his skin, not moving at all.
Kaos's feet, ankles, and calves were quickly filled with these tough beetles. Following the smell of blood, more beetles crawled up his exposed skin, thighs, waist, chest…
Kaos's throat let out a murky groan, which sounded extremely terrifying. The air quickly filled with the intense smell of blood. Artemis felt his scalp go numb.
Artemis saw the beetles clearly. Qiong Xiao had mentioned them before. Without a doubt, they were beetles that lived in the depths of the underground cave all year round. As soon as they smelled blood, they would quickly gather. Once they came into contact with human or animal skin, the shell on their abdomen would crack, and countless white silkworm-like tentacles would spew out from inside, piercing through the skin and firmly attaching the beetles to the flesh. The white silkworm-like tentacles would continue to suck blood until the entire beetle's body became bright red, like a ball filled with blood.
" Leave this place…"
Kaos looked at Artemis and spat out an incredulous statement.
"Now, how is that possible?" Artemis rushed to Kaos 'side and tore off the Blood Rotting Golden-Beetles on his neck and shoulders.
The white tentacles had already pierced deep into Kaos 'skin. When Artemis tore off a beetle, a fist-sized piece of skin stuck to the beetle's abdomen and tore off Kaos' body, leaving a red hole that was bleeding.
The white tentacles of this beetle naturally had the toxicity to prevent blood from solidifying. All wounds were difficult to heal, and if they were not treated, they would continue to bleed.
Kaos's pupils constricted, and a beetle that was trying to climb onto Artemis 'body exploded into a red ice flower.
However, Kaos quickly felt a tearing pain in his body. His divine power seemed to have been cut into pieces, and its circulation was constantly blocked. Every time it reached a broken point where a beetle was, it would emit a sharp pain.
" This effect…is too much…"
Kaos gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. A series of popping sounds rang out as the blood in the beetles 'bodies turned into ice under the control of his godly power, exploding their hard shells. As Kaos's Soul Power became stronger and stronger, the pain in his body surged like a tide, almost swallowing his consciousness.
Kaos steeled his heart and summoned a massive amount of Divine Power. The golden patterns that appeared on his body instantly lit up the dark space before completely extinguishing.
Kaos was knocked unconscious by a sharp pain, as if he had been hit by a thick wall.
Artemis was blown away by the powerful air wave. Between them was a dark red ice shard.
The remains of countless beetles fell to the ground.
Artemis closed his eyes and started playing the song. From the divine power that was coming from Kaos 'body, his life was not in danger. Although his body had suffered many injuries, they were not fatal and his body was rapidly recovering. What was even stranger was that the veins in his body seemed to be alive. They were growing, changing, and rebuilding…The circuits in his body were like the roots of a plant, slowly growing…
However, she had to bring her brother out first. She had to listen to his explanation…

The Room of Artemis Kaos
After placing the unconscious Kaos down and feeding him a Golden Silkworm King, Artemis sat on a chair and let out a long sigh.
The Three Firmament Fairies sat quietly at the side and did not speak.
Perhaps in order to break the atmosphere, Qiong Xiao, who was the most active, spoke,"How about…Themis? Try this?" After saying that, he took out a bottle of green potion from behind him.
"Can this be used to treat my brother?”
"No, this is a dream potion that sister Bixiao and I made with dream Gu! It could allow a specific person to enter another person's dream.”Then, he changed the topic." This might help us understand why Kaos did this!”
"…I'll try."
Qiong Xiao dripped two drops of blood from Artemis and Kaos into it and slowly activated it with divine power.
After a while, Qiong Xiao signaled for Artemis to drink the potion.
Just a small sip…
Artemis 'consciousness gradually dissipated.
After a long time, the scene in front of him slowly became clearer…
Many years later, every time Artemis recalled Kaos's past, it felt like a dark prophecy.
