Kyoto.

Eunuch Zheng knelt on one knee in front of a stone statue.

The stone statue is very large, but the objects enshrined on it are pitifully small.

On the huge stone cushion, there was actually a tiny mouse enshrined!

The rat is carved with great detail and has a kind face. What makes it different from ordinary rats is that this stone rat has two long whiskers next to its mouth.

Like a wise rat, full of wisdom.

No one could imagine that this stone statue was actually a bridge connecting humans and the Rat God.

It seems that the Rat God only has a spiritual force attached to it, which is responsible for communicating with the human race.

"I am fully aware of the details of this incident."

"You did well this time. As for the final Emperor Yin being trapped..."

"This is due to the existence of all races, not just your fault!"

"If I had encountered this situation when I was younger, I wouldn't have handled it any better than either of you!"

"Now, this is the best possible outcome!"

The voice of the Rat God slowly emerged from the stone statue.

As always, a gentle spiritual force was stroking Eunuch Zheng's shoulder.

Everyone who comes to see the Rat God is the same.

The Rat God would use his spiritual power to examine the hidden injuries on their bodies.

Let's see if there are any injuries that they at this level can't detect.

At this moment, Eunuch Zheng raised his head, staring blankly at the stone statue in front of him, as if he had uttered a word he shouldn't have, "The best outcome?"

"Do you mean that losing a Saint-level expert can bring back so many people?"

"Is it good news?"

Eunuch Zheng couldn't believe it; could the Rat God really say such a thing?

The complete demise of a Saint-level being means the fall of a candidate for Godhood!

But the Rat God's attitude... was as if he had only lost an ordinary item.

The Rat God paused for a moment, "He seems unwilling to tell us the truth, and I cannot say too much."

"If we really want to get to the bottom of this, the Underworld Emperor is dead, but he's not dead either!"

"And it's not far from me!"

"If he shows up on his own in the future, then I will ask him to meet with you, how about that?"

Eunuch Zheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes widening, as if he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

What does it mean to be dead yet seem not to be dead?

What kind of talk is that?

However, Eunuch Zheng understood the last few words he said.

The Emperor is not dead! He's not far from Kyoto!

However, for some reason, he/she may not appear in front of the public for the time being!

"Rat...Rat God!"

"Is everything you're saying true?" At this moment, Eunuch Zheng was like a naughty child who had gotten into trouble.

Upon hearing that the Rat God seemed to know about the underworld, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

"If I can't meet him, can I at least have a conversation with him?"

Seeing that the stone statue remained silent, Eunuch Zheng pressed for an answer.

After a while.

The stone statue slowly spoke.

"Actually, it's possible, but I'm worried it might affect his hidden plans!"

"He's been in Kyoto for almost a year now, why don't we wait a little longer?"

"Give him twenty years. If he still hasn't revealed his true intentions after twenty years, then I will let you meet him!"

Finally, some color returned to Zheng Gonggong's eyes. Hearing the Rat God's promise, the huge weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted!

The Rat God never lies!

There has never been a white lie!

Now that the Rat God has made a promise, the Underworld Emperor must still be alive!

“Very well! This old servant will do as the Rat God says!” Eunuch Zheng straightened up and bowed to the Rat God.

A sigh came from the stone statue, "Ah, you've always been very loyal!"

"Such loyalty is hard to find throughout the entire history of China!"

"Now, I do have a favor to ask of you, what do you say?"

A light slowly appeared in Eunuch Zheng's eyes, and he nodded firmly, "If you have any orders, Rat God, just speak up!"

"This old servant is willing to listen!"

The stone statue trembled slightly, and a voice rang out, "In the coming days, I will use the news of the Emperor of the Underworld's feigned death to spread throughout the entire land of China!"

"Firstly, it's to draw out the Twelve Divine Gates and warn the world in advance!"

"When the great calamity comes in the near future, at least we won't be so panicked!"

"Secondly, the news that the Yin Emperor is not dead is known only to you and me, although we do not know what the Yin Emperor is planning in the capital."

"However, spreading the news that the Underworld Emperor has faked his death will at least make him safer!"

After the Rat God finished speaking, Eunuch Zheng nodded.

Proclaiming that the King of the Underworld is dead would indeed make him safer!

It's definitely a good thing that the Rat God had someone spread the message!

"good!"

"So, am I in charge of spreading this message?" Eunuch Zheng nodded and slowly asked.

This is a good thing, but Eunuch Zheng really couldn't figure out what role the Rat God wanted him to play in this environment.

Compared to the Rat God's publicity skills, Eunuch Zheng's connections... indeed made it very difficult to spread this matter completely.

even.

Many people don't know who the Underworld Emperor is.

Who is it? What does their death have to do with me?

The Rat God's gentle, spring-like voice rang out again, "No need!"

"You did very well this time!"

"I need your help."

Eunuch Zheng straightened his back and stared intently at the Rat God.

What the Rat God is about to tell us is the matter that truly requires Eunuch Zheng's intervention!

"The Twelve Divine Gates can never be without personnel!"

"But Wulong is really impatient. After discussing it with Yujingzi on his own, he abandoned the dog gate."

"He went to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm alone."

"Although this guy is powerful and has a formidable enemy nearby, it can still be forgiven!"

"However, the twelve divine gates cannot be without guardians!"

"Otherwise, I'm worried something might happen to the human race!"

The Rat God's voice rang out, no longer hesitating with polite formalities, but pointing his sword directly.

State your main purpose directly.

The Dog Gate is missing a guardian!

"Does that rat god want me to become a god of the dog gate?"

"However, I am only at the Saint Realm, and I have just entered the Saint Realm. In the past, I was at this level."

Eunuch Zheng paused for a moment, then said, "In the past, at most, someone with this level of skill could only become a reserve member of the Twelve Zodiac Gods."

"Only when there is absolutely no other way will such a Saint-level being be appointed as a god!"

"Has the situation deteriorated to this critical point again?"

There was some worry in Eunuch Zheng's eyes. In the past, this situation could only be resolved if the human race truly had no strong enough individuals to step up.

The Rat God would allow a Saint-level expert to temporarily take over.

To replenish the divine positions in order to deal with the crisis!

But now...

However, the gate to the dog is wide open, and it's already under control.

Why did it come to this?
