"Time rewind."
Fang Xiu parted his lips slightly, as if he were a time monarch, manipulating time in this place.
In the void, a stunningly beautiful figure slowly emerged as if time had reversed.
It was Jiang Mengyue!
Suddenly, Jiang Mengyue opened her eyes, first looking around blankly, then her beautiful eyes focused on Fang Xiu, and a huge surprise appeared on her face. She opened her arms and rushed towards Fang Xiu without regard for anything.
And then... he missed him.
She glared at Fang Xiu resentfully, then stood awkwardly beside him like a wronged young wife.
Fang Xiu would naturally not let Jiang Mengyue really die. To him, Jiang Mengyue was a very useful tool with great potential, and she could become a god in the future.
After defeating Yun Tianshen, the enemy's formation collapsed on its own, and Yunzhou was temporarily free from the risk of being relegated to the other side. However, the real crisis was not over; it had only just begun.
Fang Xiu looked up at the sky, his deep gaze piercing through dimensions, landing on the battlefield of gods and demons above the firmament.
That epic battle was still raging; if the battlefield weren't located elsewhere, it would have been a cataclysmic disaster.
Because of the great distance, Fang Xiu could not clearly see the entire battlefield, nor could he even tell which side had the advantage.
However, he knew clearly in his heart that the Nine Provinces God would not lose, and the Other Shore Demon God would eventually be defeated; this was inevitable.
If Kyushu were so vulnerable and had no trump card to restrain the Demon God of the Other Shore, it would have been wiped out long ago, instead of standing in the Other Shore for countless millennia. This invasion of the Demon God is, in a strict sense, a sneak attack launched by the treacherous Yun Tianshen in collusion with the outsider.
With Kyushu God playing on home turf, the probability of them losing is very low.
As expected, everything unfolded exactly as Fang Xiu had predicted. Before long, the figures of the demon gods in the sky began to fade away, and the Nine Provinces Gods did not pursue them. Clearly, they dared not step out of the Nine Provinces and allowed the demon gods to leave one by one.
Just then, a furious voice rang out from the sky: "Zhou Qingfeng! You two dared to ruin my grand plan! I'll remember you! You just wait, I will definitely be back!"
The one who roared was none other than the true form of Yun Tianshen. His once magnetic and pleasant voice was now completely distorted by rage. Even without seeing his expression, one could imagine his fury just by hearing his voice.
Yun Tianshen had a perfectly good plan. Before the Nine Provinces God discovered that he had become a demon, he would secretly transform the people of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty into demons, and then gradually set up an array in Yunzhou. When everything was ready, he would lure the demon god to come, launch a sneak attack on the Nine Provinces God, take away Yunzhou, and cause an indelible blow to the Nine Provinces. The plan was foolproof, but now it has been ruined by Fang Xiu. How could he not be angry?
Fang Xiu watched the demon god leave with a calm gaze, unmoved by Yun Tianshen's defeated remarks. He had offended many gods, so he didn't care about adding Yun Tianshen to the list.
"Fang Lang, it's been so long since we last met, have you missed me?" Jiang Mengyue asked excitedly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"How's your cultivation going? How long until you become a god?" Fang Xiu asked.
Jiang Mengyue pouted in dissatisfaction, and was about to speak when her expression suddenly changed, and she looked up at the sky in horror.
Not only did she feel it, but Fang Xiu also felt it; a tremendous will descended!
That is the will of God!
"So they noticed this place after all?" Fang Xiu thought to himself. He knew very well that with such a commotion before, and Yun Tianshen even trying to take away Yunzhou, the gods of the Nine Provinces couldn't possibly not have noticed. They were just temporarily held back by the demon god and couldn't move.
Now that the demon god has retreated, the gods of the Nine Provinces will naturally show themselves, but it is unknown which god will come.
In an instant, the sky changed dramatically, and a huge human face appeared on the thick clouds!
It's as if a giant is looking down from the sky, observing the happenings on Earth.
The human face is blurred and indistinct, yet it gives people a majestic and eternal sense of timelessness and indestructibility.
god!
Another god!
"Thank you both for saving the lives of millions in Yunzhou. If it weren't for your help today, the entire land would be in danger."
The gods were speaking, their voices like the celestial sounds of the Great Dao, descending majestically from the heavens, filled with awe-inspiring divinity.
Fang Xiu did not answer, because he did not hear the slightest hint of gratitude from the deity.
Since he didn't speak, Jiang Mengyue naturally wouldn't take it upon herself to start a conversation.
Then the deity said again: "Both of you fellow Daoists are people with great fortune and are able to obtain the favor of gods. Although Yun Tian Shen betrayed the Nine Provinces, it is foreseeable that the Nine Provinces will have another Moon God in the future, which can fill the vacancy."
The god's praise made Jiang Mengyue frown slightly, because the other party actually said that there would only be one more moon god in the future. What about Fang Lang?
"In order to repay the kindness of the two fellow Daoists in saving Yunzhou, we, the gods of the Nine Provinces, will do our best to help you, Fellow Daoist Jiang, become the next Moon God as soon as possible. As for you, Fellow Daoist Zhou, in return, the gods of the Nine Provinces promise to pardon your sins and will not kill you, as long as you hand over the Ba Hui Godhead."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu's lips curled into a chilling smile: "Your reward is not killing me? How arrogant."
Jiang Mengyue was even more furious than if she had been insulted: "What do you mean by this? Why are you helping me become a god, but not killing him?"
The gods above the heavens were not angered. Their voices remained majestic and calm: "Because you have inherited the divine title of the Moon God, and you are very compatible with it. With our help, you will surely become a god. But he is different. He has inherited the divine title of the Ba Hui, which is the divine title of the Demon God. Nurturing him is equivalent to nurturing a future Demon God."
"Nonsense! Does inheriting the divine status of Ba Hui necessarily lead to demonic possession?" Jiang Mengyue retorted, unconvinced.
"Haven't you noticed that he's already showing signs of demonic possession? In fact, most of his power comes from evil spirits. Given his current state, if he were to become a god with the help of the Ba Hui godhood, he would surely become a demon god. If it weren't for his merit in protecting Yunzhou, there would be no place for him in the Nine Provinces! That's why I said I wouldn't kill him."
Therefore, Fellow Daoist Zhou, as long as you hand over the divine core of Ba Hui and relinquish the demonic power within you, I can promise you on behalf of all the gods of the Nine Provinces that I will not kill you. This is the greatest leniency the gods of the Nine Provinces can show you in recognition of your meritorious service.”
