Yuan Chen carried Yun Che's soul seal with him and went straight into the bottom of Sha Xing's soul sea.
Just as Yun Che said before, in this world, except for him (?), no one else could sense Yuan Chen's existence through spiritual perception, and could only sense it through the feedback of blocked or corroded breath.
Therefore, Yuan Chen could isolate his breath and his soul. Unless someone could directly probe the soul into the depths of Shaxing's soul sea, it would be impossible to know his existence through perception... and it would be even more impossible for him to know his existence.
Although the news of Star God Son’s disappearance was quickly blocked, it was still captured by Xuanji Palace, and then passed to Yun Che’s ears as an unimportant and unconfirmed message.
Thus, Yun Che began to wait at the right time... Driven by human nature, he judged that when Sha Xing returned to the Sea of Mist this time, he would most likely step back into the nightmare place where he encountered the Abyss Eclipse last time.
As he wished, after just a few days of waiting, the Star of Destruction appeared in the area covered by his spiritual consciousness.
Turning him into a hidden "Abyss Ghost" is much easier than the previous Yuchi Nanxing.
When Sha Xing woke up, he felt severe pain all over his body.
He opened his eyes and saw a dark and silent sea of fog.
I…am not dead?
He straightened his body and subconsciously circulated his profound energy to suppress his injuries... Suddenly, his heart was shaken and his eyes widened.
Because when his profound energy surged, there was no intense tingling pain in his profound veins that was strong enough to make him begin to feel numb.
He quickly checked his own profound meridians, and as the profound energy completely flowed through the fifty-four profound gates and then to all the godheads, he no longer felt any pain or obstruction.
The abyssal erosion that had originally invaded the Mysterious Veins had completely disappeared! Only a few minor injuries that could be healed quickly were left behind.
He stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time due to the overly intense excitement and sense of illusion… Although it was only a short period of half a year, no one could understand the kind of soul torture he endured.
These six months were the longest and most difficult years in his life.
The severe pain throughout his body told him that this was not a dream.
At this moment, he finally sensed something and suddenly looked up at the dark sky.
There, a pair of eyes hidden in the mist were silently looking down at him.
He opened his mouth, but after a long time he managed to utter a word with difficulty: "Wu...Emperor..."
"The erosion has been removed, it's time for you to leave."
He received a response from the Mist Emperor, but it was words that made him unbelievable.
Memories of the time before he fell unconscious quickly came back to him. He shook his head and tried to stand up, but his broken leg bones caused him to stumble and kneel again. However, the injuries and pain he suffered were nothing compared to getting rid of the abyssal erosion of the Profound Veins. He immediately raised his head and asked, "What should I... pay?"
"Give? Why? Do you want to repay this emperor's kindness?"
There was no praise in his solemn words, only ridicule: "The fact that you creatures can live in peace in this world is all thanks to this emperor! When have you ever repaid me? How can you repay me?"
Shaxing pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment. Who in this world doesn't know the angry words that the Mist Emperor said to the Abyss Knight?
"This world originally belongs to the Abyss. This emperor has granted you the land of birth, and has also restricted the people of the Abyss to live in the Sea of Mist. However, you, who clearly have your own land of birth, have to invade the Sea of Mist again and again for the so-called experience and resources, and hunt down the people of this emperor... The Abyss erosion you have suffered is the retribution you deserve!"
"..."Sha Xing still had nothing to say, and confusion gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, I cannot be as ruthless as you humans. And if you really feel a little bit grateful, get out of the sea of fog immediately and never set foot in it again."
Shaxing opened his mouth and uttered an inappropriate sentence: "Only...that's all?"
"roll!"
A word was roared angrily, exploding in the soul, and then the gray pupils disappeared with the deep fog and disappeared in an instant.
There was only endless abyss of dust in sight, and no longer any trace of the Mist Emperor.
Sha Xing was completely stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Before coming here, he had done great psychological preparation, and was even prepared to cut off his own retreat... If he could really meet the Mist Emperor, if he could really end the Abyss Erosion, he would do it without hesitation even if it meant sacrificing half of his lifespan.
He really did meet the Mist Emperor, and it was so easy. The Mist Emperor really did remove the Abyss Corrosion for him, and... for no cost.
If there must be a price, it is just to get him out of the sea of fog.
At this moment, what lingered most in his heart was not the joy of getting what he wanted, but rather a long-lasting confusion and a strong turbulence in his cognition and beliefs.
He floated into the air, dragging his badly injured body to fly out of the sea of fog... and until he was out of the sea of fog, he did not encounter any abyss beasts.
He stopped and looked back at the sea of fog, his mood more complicated than ever before.
The greatest grace in life, besides the grace of birth, raising and teachers, is nothing more than the grace of saving lives and the grace of giving birth to a new life.
The seemingly terrifying Fog King actually bestowed such a great favor on him and did not force him to pay any price. He seemed to leave with disgust, but he escorted the seriously injured him safely out of the fog sea.
At this moment, the Mist Emperor's astonishing words in that projection... He created a new habitat for living beings, gathered the sea of fog for living beings, and contained the abyss beasts for living beings...
The sense of reality is so real that it overwhelms the absurdity.
"Star... Star God Son!"
Shouts filled with surprise and excitement came from afar, and they were actually from a group of Star God disciples.
Soon, a group of people with the aura of the Star God had already taken him in. They were ordered to come to the fog sea to find the Star Sha, and they were already thinking of looking for a needle in a haystack, but they didn't expect to find his figure before they actually stepped into the fog sea.
Finally, he took a deep look at the sea of fog, relaxed his breath and tense nerves, and let out a long breath: "Let's go."
In the Star-Moon Temple, the atmosphere was chilly and the space was so cold and silent that it was almost sealed.
"Shaxing, do you know...what on earth you are doing!"
In the center of the temple, there were two thrones connected side by side. On the right throne sat a figure with divine light all around him.
His face was as white as porcelain, his hair reached his waist, his face and facial features had the angularity of a man, yet the softness of a woman. Even his voice was stern yet gentle, making it difficult to tell whether it was a male or a female.
One of the twin gods of the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom - Sky Star God Wushenxing.
He rarely gets angry, because anger would distort his appearance which is as beautiful as a star.
But Shaxing escaped from Xingyue and went to look for Wuhuang alone... Faced with his treasonous behavior, which was also the first time in his life that he had committed treason, Wushenxing's anger could not be contained.
Sha Xing knelt on the ground and bowed his head: "I can't break my own thoughts. I insist on doing what I want, which makes the God anxious and angry for me... I know that my mistakes are unforgivable, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
He felt deeply guilty, but he had no regrets.
Wushenxing was staring at him... He couldn't help but admit that after realizing that Shaxing's eclipse had really disappeared, he was delighted, but then he felt a growing sense of uneasiness.
“Tell me,” he suppressed his anger and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible: “How did you find the Mist Emperor? What price did you pay to remove the abyss erosion of the Mysterious Veins?”
Shaxing told the Heavenly Star God in detail about his encounter with the Mist Emperor and how he resolved the Abyss Eclipse.
His narration was so brief that Heavenly Star God remained silent for a long time.
“That’s all…?”
The Lord of Heavenly Stars asked the same four questions that Shaxing asked when he faced the Emperor of Mist.
"Yes, that's all." Shaxing raised his eyes and faced Wushenxing's gaze: "Although I have made a serious mistake, I will never dare to lie in front of the God."
Tianxing Divine Venerable fell silent again. When he spoke again, his voice was as cold as a star: "Tell me, what price were you originally prepared to pay?"
Shaxing replied, "According to rumors about the Mist Emperor, he has helped many people to get rid of the abyss of death, but he has never asked anyone to give him anything in return. He was just doing a favor out of pure kindness. Deep down, I also have this thought... And if the Mist Emperor needs me to pay a price in exchange, I will give up anything, but I will never harm the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom!"
"What a joke!" The Star God said coldly, "In today's world, who doesn't know the foul words and hostility of the Mist Emperor towards the Abyss Emperor? The six great kingdoms exist because of the Abyss Emperor, and they are passed down because of the Abyss Emperor. You, as the son of God of my Star-Moon Kingdom, actually beg the Mist Emperor for help! Do you know how the world will look at you once this matter gets out, and how the Pure Land will look down on my Star-Moon Kingdom!"
“Disciple knows…” Sha Xing lowered his head and said, “But during the time when my profound veins were corroded, my body and mind suffered tremendous torment. Although this eclipse happened to me, it affected the future of the Crescent Moon, the Star God lineage, and even the Kingdom of God. The God is also very worried about my disciple… All these are deeply grieved in my disciple’s heart, and the rumored Mist Emperor is the only one…”
“Enough!” Wu Shenxing slammed the table in anger, “I know all the suffering you have endured. I also know that the rumor that the Mist Emperor can solve the Abyss Eclipse is true. However, I have never thought of seeking the Mist Emperor’s help for you. The reason and the depth of it, don’t you really understand it at all!”
Sha Xing raised his eyes and said, "Disciple knows. This time, my disobedient behavior was only to relieve my resentment, and I didn't really have any hope. But I never thought... Moreover, from what I saw and felt this time, Wu Huang is definitely not a sinister person. On the contrary, Wu Huang..."
“Shut up!” Wushenxing shouted angrily, and the aura that suddenly enveloped him muffled all the sounds that Shaxing uttered.
His eyebrows knitted like swords: "Shaxing, listen to me. In this world, there is no absolute good and evil, right and wrong. Good and evil, right and wrong may be completely contradictory depending on one's standpoint."
"For you, your first identity is the Son of God of the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom! Your direct position is the direction of the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom, and your higher position is the direction of the Pure Land!"
"Xing, there's no need to be so angry."
A gentle voice came slowly, and then a figure in a moon robe walked slowly towards them.
He had the same face as Wushenxing, but his eyebrows and eyes were more graceful and charming than Wushenxing's. He walked leisurely, his body swaying naturally, showing a graceful posture that was not inconsistent with the natural rhythm.
The sound was more like the wind blowing through willows, silently blowing away the cold silence of the space and the anger of the Heavenly Star God.
One of the twin gods of the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom—the Dome-Moon God, Wu Shenyue.
The Star God lineage all use the Star as their surname, and the Moon God lineage uses the Moon as their surname. When the Star-Moon Divine Nation was first founded, when Emperor Yuan gave the Star-Moon Divine Power, he also gave the heir the surname "Wu", implying that the Star-Moon Divine Nation should work together, unite their strength and hearts, and rule the country together, and they must not separate.
The original surname Xingyue was attributed to the name of God.
The same is true of the name Son of God.
Behind Wushenyue, Xianyue followed closely. He hurried forward and knelt beside Shaxing, secretly giving him a happy and reassuring smile.
"Yue, did you hear what he just said?"
Wushenxing was still furious: "The most difficult thing to let go of in this world is a favor that does not require repayment! It was also because of this favor that Shaxing... actually spoke to the Mist Emperor just now!"
"I heard it." Wu Shenyue said softly, "No one knows what the future will be like. But at least, the current result is excellent."
“……”Wushenxing did not deny it.
Wu Shen Yue raised her hand, and a ray of moonlight enveloped Sha Xing's body, and it disappeared in a moment.
He smiled and said, "Not only has the Abyss Eclipse disappeared, but there is no abnormal aura or mark left on the body. In all the rumors about the Mist Emperor, he has never asked for anything in return from anyone he has bestowed upon him, and he has no visible plot. Therefore, we only need to cover up this matter, and there is no need to worry. On the contrary... it can be considered a great blessing."
Wu Shenxing still frowned slightly: "How can the Son of God of my Xingyue Divine Kingdom be compared with those insignificant people?"
“But in the eyes of the Mist Emperor, perhaps there is really no difference.” Wu Shenyue said slowly: “He saved Shaxing only because he was a destined person who met by chance, just like the person he saved before.”
Wu Shenyue continued, "I have ordered people to spread the news. The Abyss Eclipse of the Shaxing has been cut off by the two of us, at the cost of damaging half of the Xuanmai. But the Star-Moon System is derived from the teachings and gifts of the Abyss Emperor, and it is also the foundation that our Star-Moon Divine Kingdom has always adhered to. Therefore, the Crescent Moon will slow down its pace and continue to maintain its compatibility with the Shaxing. Whether now or in the future, even if there are greater setbacks, it will never affect the Star-Moon System."
Wushenxing's expression gradually eased. He thought for a while and said helplessly, "That's it... I hope my worries are unnecessary."
"Shaxing, you are not allowed to mention anything about the Mist Emperor! You have disappeared this time, so you should find a way to justify yourself! You should know the pros and cons of this!"
"Yes, please rest assured, my two gods." Sha Xing immediately bowed his head and guaranteed.
After walking out of the Xingyue Temple, Xianyue immediately asked with great interest: "Shaxing, what does the Mist King look like? Is he really just a ball of fog as the legend says? How did you meet him?"
Shaxing repeated what he had said to Tianxing God. The overly brief process also left Xianyue stunned and unable to believe it for a long time.
"Crescent Moon," Shaxing looked ahead and said absentmindedly, "Based on what I saw and felt about the Mist Emperor, I suddenly felt that what he said to the Abyss Knight in the projection was very likely to be true. And if the words of the Mist Emperor are true, then the Abyss Emperor's creation of the world at the beginning of the Abyss would have become a lie..."
"Shaxing!!"
Xianyue stopped suddenly and let out a low shout.
"..."Sha Xing shut up and stopped talking.
Xianyue lowered her voice and frowned, "Don't say such things again... no matter to whom!"
"I understand." Sha Xing's expression did not change: "I would only tell you what I said just now. Even the God has never mentioned it."
Xianyue continued to lower her voice: "For us... or almost everyone, position is often more important than truth or right or wrong. You and I are both sons of God of the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom. We must not... must not let kindness sway our beliefs."
"Well, don't worry." Sha Xing nodded, his expression firm: "The only time I face you is when I never hide what I think in my heart. But outside of my thoughts, I am not so confused as to distinguish what is more important than what is less important."
However, people can control their words and actions, but cannot truly control their thoughts and desires.
When a belief that you have always upheld and never doubted or wavered in suddenly has a hole, this hole will not disappear on its own, but will continue to open more and more cracks... Even an ordinary thing in the past, some correct words in cognition, will eat away at this hole bit by bit.
…
As time passed, it gradually approached the third year since Yun Che "returned" to the Kingdom of Dreamweaver.
The six divine kingdoms were very peaceful during this period.
Because the time for visiting the Pure Land is at hand.
This is the first Pure Land meeting after the abyss channel successfully connected to the "Eternal Pure Land", and its significance is far beyond any previous ones.
Perhaps, it will directly reveal the future destiny of the world of the abyss.
Jiuzhi of the Son of God in the Senluo Palace has completed his retreat. There is secret information that he has successfully broken through to the eighth level of the Divine Destruction Realm, but the Xuanji Palace expressed great doubts about this.
The two sons of the Star-Moon Kingdom had both completed a breakthrough to the fourth level of the God-Destroying Realm. After completing the last trial of the Star-Moon Thousand Machine Tower, they both went into rest. It was obvious that they wanted to be in the best condition to welcome the next audience with the Pure Land.
The Kingdom of Eternal Night is as dead and silent as ever, and there is no way to explore it.
Pan Buzhuo, the son of the Owl Butterfly God, had already completed a breakthrough to the fourth level of the God-Destroying Realm. He had been concentrating on consolidating his foundation for the past two years. Now, he has established a firm foothold in the fourth level of the God-Destroying Realm, and has also made a huge breakthrough in his dark magic skills.
The Heaven-Breaking Goddess Hua Caili has not appeared since she entered the Seven-Star Heaven-Breaking Formation three years ago. It is hard not to worry whether she can break out of the formation before the audience in the Pure Land.
On the side of the Dreamweaver Divine Kingdom, Meng Jianxi finally completed a breakthrough to the fourth level of the God Destroying Realm recently, but he knew that the eyes of the world on the Dreamweaver Divine Kingdom were no longer focused on him, but on the "Meng Jianyuan" with perfect godhood...even if the "Meng Jianyuan" is only at the God Lord Realm now.
Ever since the Mist Emperor appeared in the world, everyone has been quietly paying attention to the developments in the Pure Land.
However, the Pure Land has never made any announcement of the existence of the Mist King, as if it completely ignores or even disdains its existence... at least on the surface.
But back then, Pure Land did not hesitate to send out the Knight Commander to lure and ambush the Mist Emperor, which showed that Pure Land's attitude towards the Mist Emperor was far from being as indifferent as it seemed on the surface.
But what Pure Land did in secret to the Mist Emperor after that... no one knew about it, and it never caused any attention-grabbing movement.
As for Emperor Yuan... as always, he had never appeared before people in these years, and no one could see him. He was like the god holding up the sky in mythology, silently looking down at the vast world and all living beings from the highest point of this world.
The wheel of time under the black tide of time is still rolling forward restlessly, dragging the date of the audience with the Pure Land closer and closer...
Until there was less than a month left.
