Ling Ling's face was pale, and she bit her delicate lips tightly.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xinghe suddenly became awkward, trembling as he pulled a grasshopper woven from dry grass from his robes: "Ling'er, do you remember? When you were little, your father taught you to weave grasshoppers. This is the one you wove and gave to your father. Your father laughed at how ugly it was, and you even cried. Your father has always carried this grasshopper with him..."
In fact, this statement was so obviously false that it couldn't be more so, because Ling Xinghe's body had already been blasted apart countless times. Unless this grasshopper was a divine artifact, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago. Clearly, this grasshopper was created on the spot by him using Nuwa's power of creation.
However, Ling Ling fell for this, or rather, all of Nuwa's descendants fell for it, except for Fang Yao.
If Nuwa's descendants hadn't been soft-hearted and released those cannibalistic traitors, there wouldn't have been the barbaric lands that followed.
The moment Ling Ling saw the grasshopper, she burst into tears: "Father... Father Emperor!"
"Alas! It's all my fault, Father. All the things I've done these past years have been against my will. I've been bewitched by the Flower Goddess!" Ling Xinghe also started shedding small pearls.
"Lord Fang Xiu," Ling Ling suddenly looked at Fang Xiu with determination, "Could you please entrust him to me? After all..."
"How dare you!" Xu Ruohai stepped forward first, angrily rebuking, "Who do you think you are, daring to make demands of Lord Fang Xiu!"
Ling Xinghe hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Excellency Fang Xiu, I have regained my senses. The chief villain, the Black Lotus of the Other Shore, has been executed. I hope you will give me a chance to make amends. Ling'er and Yao Yao have already lost their mother, and they cannot lose their father as well!"
Fang Xiu stared at him indifferently and asked, "What does it matter to me whether you are sober or not? Do you think I killed you because you are a bad person?"
You want to change your ways, fine, but you've come to the wrong person, because... in my eyes, whether you're good or bad, you deserve to die!
"ah!!!"
Ling Xinghe screamed again, while Ling Ling was directly knocked unconscious by Bai Xiangqing's sneak attack.
At this moment, Ling Xinghe was in utter despair. He had indeed become sober, but to say that he had reformed would be a complete lie.
The fact that he was able to be tempted by the Black Lotus of the Other Shore shows that he has always had this idea deep down. Just like drinking, alcohol is an amplifier, not something that is created out of nothing. A person who has no murderous intent will not kill anyone no matter how much alcohol he drinks.
After another incense stick's time, Ling Xinghe really couldn't hold on any longer. He experienced what it meant to be unable to live or die. He threw all his dreams of Nuwa's divine status, ruling the world, and immortality to the back of his mind. Now he only had one thought: to die as soon as possible.
"Please, kill me, kill me now! I'll give you the divine spark, I don't want it anymore." Ling Xinghe actually took out Nuwa's divine spark and threw it on the ground.
However, Fang Xiu didn't even glance at the divine spark, calmly saying, "You don't want it anymore, so you're giving it to me? So you're giving it to me as charity?"
Ling Xinghe didn't reply, but instead chose to self-destruct. He didn't want to live anymore, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
However, the next second, the power of time acted on him, and Ling Xinghe, who had just self-destructed, came back to life.
Looking at the calm face before him, boundless fear spread through Ling Xinghe's heart: "No no no! No!! Spare me, spare me... Ahhh!!"
The screams lasted for a full hour before abruptly stopping.
Fang Xiu picked up the Nuwa Divine Spark from the ground. The moment he touched it, he realized that his hand was collapsing and could not withstand the power of the Divine Spark at all.
The demonic whispers in her mind rang out wildly, vehemently rejecting the divine status of Nuwa.
"It seems that the repulsiveness of the divine status of immortals and gods is greater than that of demons and gods."
The next moment, the divine essence uncontrollably slipped out of his hand, merged back into the Nuwa statue, and disappeared.
Fang Xiu didn't care. He planned to first cultivate Fang Yao into a divine body, and then let her merge with the goddess Nuwa's divine essence.
As for the divine certificate, he put it away, to be used when the Nuwa Temple is opened in the future.
The moment his divine essence vanished, Fang Xiu clearly felt his spirituality rapidly declining. It was obvious that the laws of the Taotie Divine Kingdom were at work, and he could neither stop it nor prevent it.
Fighting Taotie within the divine kingdom is even more difficult than fighting Taotie outside, since the divine kingdom is Taotie's territory.
However, while he still possessed spirituality, he directly used the Black Lotus Decree to condense two seeds, which he then shot into the bodies of Xu Ruohai and Fang Yao respectively. With these two seeds, the two of them could be considered parasitized clones.
Afterwards, everyone left the Nuwa Temple, while Bai Xiangqing took the unconscious Ling Ling away.
Upon returning to the wilderness, Fang Xiu didn't rest. He continuously used his power to create clones, since his power would be devoured sooner or later anyway, so he might as well use it himself first.
After creating ten thousand clones, his power was completely exhausted. If he wanted to create more clones, he would have to find materials from his own body.
He dispatched ten thousand clones to the gray fog and the wilderness, frantically plundering everything, devouring barbarians and monsters.
Then, the accumulated power was transmitted to Fang Yao through the Black Lotus Decree, in an effort to cultivate Fang Yao into a divine body and control her divine status as soon as possible.
He had figured out how to leave the Taotie Kingdom: by using Nuwa's divine essence to open a passage to the outside world.
In the Taotie Divine Kingdom, only the goddess Nuwa's divine essence can stand against Taotie, as can be seen from the fact that Nuwa's divine essence can shield Taotie's devouring power.
Therefore, once Fang Yao grows up, she can leave the Taotie Divine Kingdom.
During this time, Fang Xiu himself was not idle. Instead, he began to comprehend other laws, such as the law of poison of the Ba Hui and the law of pain of his own.
........
........
A month later, Ling Ling ascended the throne as the new emperor of Canglan Kingdom, quelled the chaos in the kingdom, and allowed the people to recuperate.
Fang Xiu didn't stand on ceremony and directly ordered Ling Ling to mobilize the entire nation to search for poisons. The same was true for the barbarians. Xu Ruohai secretly supported a puppet to become the new barbarian king and plundered poisons and toxic substances on a large scale.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the beings in this world, a year later, Fang Xiu finally condensed his first Poison Law.
After that, he began to travel the world with Fang Yao, constantly absorbing pain. In each place they went, they would plant a black lotus of pain to continuously absorb pain.
Pain is something that arises at all times. The pain of fatigue, the anguish of boredom, and even heartbreak and constipation can all cause pain.
It must be said that the Black Lotus Decree is really convenient; it's incredibly effective at collecting pain.
Another year passed, and Fang Xiu finally comprehended the Law of Suffering from nothing!
The Law of Suffering differs from other laws. Other laws are traceable and have references, but the Law of Suffering can only be created little by little by Fang Xiu himself based on his own understanding of suffering.
Under his guidance, Fang Yao also completed her fourth sublimation.
