Chapter 172: New Crisis (2) She used thousands of years of cultivation, and...
"A place that Heaven doesn't pay attention to?" Lucifer frowned slightly and looked at Satan silently, asking what he meant with his eyes.
Xuan Chi pondered and explained further, "What I mean is, it doesn't have to be a certain part of Hell. As long as it's within the West, any place that would be ignored by Heaven will do."
Si Ling first thought of one: "Like the mermaid tribe?"
The mermaids are not a very small group, but although they nominally belong to the West, they are actually completely autonomous.
Hyun Chi nodded: "About the same."
"The mermaids' presence isn't as low as you think. They hold a high position in Jehovah's sight." Lucifer paused, speaking slowly. "If they were discovered, the risk to the mermaids would be too great."
Si Ling and Xuan Chi both fell silent.
Objectively speaking, the Eastern and Western divine realms are not interfering with each other now. Even if the mermaids make the Eastern heaven unhappy, it should not cause too much trouble.
...But considering Hyun-ryeon's tragic experience and the whereabouts of the five major clans that are still unknown, Si Ling and Hyun-chi have little confidence.
The four of them were silent for a while, and Si Ling suddenly said, "I thought of a place."
"What?" The three of them looked at her. Si Ling turned her head to look at Xuan Chi: "There is a small town near the Puerto Rico Trench. Did you know?"
"?" Xuan Chi was speechless. "I don't know."
Si Ling looked at Satan and Lucifer again and sneered, "Do you know?"
Lucifer frowned and said nothing. Satan said, "What town? The mermaid's territory?"
They really didn't know.
Si Ling breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile, "If neither of you know about it, then it must be very invisible. To be safe, don't ask where it is. Xuan Chi and I will go hide."
"Are you sure it's safe there..." Satan looked at Si Ling with doubt in his heart. "I mean, is it safe for you?"
The implication is: He doesn't want anyone who might regain the throne of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor in the future to cause any trouble within his jurisdiction, and he can't afford to create such a grudge.
Si Ling thought for a moment and said, "I think their fighting power level should not be able to match that of your castle guards, Mr. Satan."
"..." Satan laughed dryly and spread his hands, saying, "Then I wish you all the best."
Xuan Chi did not forget to ask Xi You: "When is the best time for us to set off?"
"I'd say anytime," Satan said. "Jehovah is very enthusiastic about this kind of communication, so he might agree soon. If the Eastern Heavenly Court is truly targeting you, I think they'll do everything they can to move forward."
What Satan said made sense, so Si Ling and Xuan Chi began to pack their luggage after returning to the Ghost Academy. From the perspective of evil spirits, they had almost no "necessities of life", but traces of life left in the room would be easily detected, so it would be better to empty it out completely, and then Lucifer would arrange for staff to thoroughly clean the suite. Anyway, the backpacks Mammon gave them had unlimited capacity and could hold as many things as they wanted.
As Xuan Chi helped Si Ling carry the clothes in the closet to the bed, he said, "I'm a little confused now - is Di Jun still on the throne? According to my sister, the current Emperor of Heaven is Yu Heng, and between Yu Heng and Di Jun is Dong Huang Tai Yi."
At this point, he paused and turned to look at Si Ling, "But if that's the case, then there's no reason why Heaven's cooperation this time is targeting us. Are we being overly nervous?"
"It's targeting us." Si Ling, who was folding clothes beside the bed, paused and stood up to look at him. "I thought it was a bit strange before, but I couldn't explain it. Today, I suddenly figured it out."
Hyun Chi: “What?”
Si Ling pursed his lips and said, "Xuan Lian said that the 'Emperor of Heaven is the Emperor of Heaven' now because all the previous Emperors of Heaven wanted to erase the fact that they seized the throne. Therefore, in the existing records, the name of the Emperor of Heaven has been completely erased. Not only me, but Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi also seem to have never existed, right?"
Hyun Chi: “Yeah.”
Si Ling spoke each word with great emphasis: "This is a massive undertaking. In addition to using magic to search for names in official archives, the Celestial Emperors will also have to dispatch a large number of subordinates to manually search for any missed traces to ensure complete safety."
"Under these circumstances, how likely are they to have missed the stone tablet beside the Bai Ze Divine Pond?"
Xuan Chi was stunned by the question.
Si Ling chuckled, "Especially, Yu Heng himself also erected a stele next to the sacred pond. Regardless of whether he erected the cup himself or sent someone to do it, he should have known that there was a stele of the previous Heavenly Emperor there."
Xuan Chi concentrated and said, "Now it seems that not only he was negligent, but Donghuang Taiyi was also negligent. There would be no such coincidence."
Si Ling nodded silently: "So I think Yu Heng must be Di Jun, and Donghuang Taiyi is most likely the same. He keeps changing his name because he wants to confuse people."
Xuan Chi thought about it and frowned again: "But why did he erect the monuments beside the Bai Ze Divine Pond?" He glanced at Si Ling, "Without these monuments, the truth will be revealed."
Si Ling sneered: "No. We were exposed because we thought one step too much. If we hadn't thought about it that much, I would have believed what Hyun Ye said and thought that the person on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven had changed twice."
"But this requires someone you know to go to the Divine Pond..." Xuan Chi was halfway through his sentence when he noticed the intriguing smile in Si Ling's eyes and was stunned. "Do you think he did it on purpose?"
Si Ling sighed lightly, "I can only say that as early as when I was still Xin Bi, there were already some idle gods studying how to reversely utilize the mechanism of the karma curse."
Hyun Chi was obviously not a "god with too much time to spare", so he was completely confused by what he heard: "Reverse use?"
"Yes." Si Ling nodded. "They probably originally wanted to break the causal curse, but later found that this 'unknown' power was difficult to deal with, so they turned to a reverse exploitation mechanism. Simply put, they do something to mislead the development of the causal curse. Even if they can't break the causal curse, they can delay the arrival of the final result."
Xuan Chi was confused: "Will it really work?"
Si Ling shrugged. "It's said that it's been successful a few times, but they were all very simple causal spells, the kind that were independently completed by the power left behind by the ancient gods in the three realms. This kind of causal spell designed directly by the ancient gods, even I don't know if it can be interfered with by humans."
Xuan Chi pondered for a moment: "If I were Di Jun, I would also want to try it, what if it works?"
"That's right." Si Ling bent down and continued to fold the clothes.
In fact, if she wanted, she could use a spell to turn all the clothes into paper and put them into her backpack, but the process of folding clothes was very relaxing for her now.
Xuan Chi turned around and continued taking clothes from the closet. This was also a way for him to clear his mind. When he put the last windbreaker on the bed, his thoughts became clearer. He looked up at Si Ling again and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the ancient gods are still helping you."
"I hope so." Si Ling calmly stuffed a pile of clothes into his backpack.
She was a little nervous.
This was certainly what she had asked for back then, and the ancient gods did accept her wish.
But at that time she had not thought that this matter would drag on for 30,000 years.
In her current opinion, the thousands of years of cultivation she had sacrificed were not worth the 30,000 years of help from the ancient gods.
