Upon returning from the previous save, Fang Xiu did not immediately choose to etherealize his divine spark, because he knew that no matter how much he tried to save time, it would be too late.
Even using the power of time won't work, as the power of time cannot be applied to something eternal like a god.
After much deliberation, there was only one solution: to delay the arrival of Zeus and his allies.
But how do we delay it?
Fang Xiu's first thought was to use clones and invisibility, since his current strength was simply insufficient to confront them head-on, so he had to find another way.
But then I thought about it again. The Dao of Nothingness is indeed useful below the gods, but above the gods, those powerful immortals and gods are generally knowledgeable, except for Sun Wukong.
They certainly know the way of nothingness. Illusion seems unsolvable, but as long as you ignore it and treat it as if it doesn't exist, it won't delay for long at all.
But besides becoming ethereal, what else can buy time? What could possibly stop Zeus and his companions from their tracks?
Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared in Fang Xiu's mind!
Wife!
It is highly likely that the wife of the source of the pollution is the supreme ruler of the other side. Zeus and others are already considered top beings in the other side. If ordinary demon gods do not know their wives, would Zeus and others know them?
He might even directly obey his wife's orders?
Just as he was about to try, boom!
A bolt of golden lightning crashed down.
......
......
"Time is of the essence. I need your cooperation to cast the Void Dao, eliminate the trajectory of the godhood, and hide it in the Taotie Divine Kingdom." After Fang Xiu finished speaking to Nuwa, he immediately cast the Manifestation of Pain.
"Pain manifests. Wife!"
Whoosh!
A stunningly beautiful figure appeared out of nowhere and then sped off in the direction from which Zeus had come.
At that moment, a voice filled with utter astonishment rang out from within Nuwa's divine core: "You actually possess a projection of that being!?"
That one exists?
Hearing this familiar address, Fang Xiu became even more certain that his wife was the source of the pollution, one of those two unnamed big shots.
Nuwa, as expected of an ancient goddess, clearly had seen her real wife.
Other gods and immortals only knew of such a being's existence, but had never actually seen the real one.
"You've seen her?" A hint of crimson flickered in Fang Xiu's dark eyes.
"The three Celestial Venerables merged with the Dao to help the Heavenly Dao deal with her. I cannot say more, otherwise it will attract the attention of such beings," Nuwa said solemnly.
A dark current surged in Fang Xiu's eyes. He stopped speaking and focused on blurring the divine essence of Nuwa.
Meanwhile, in the gray fog far away.
A golden ball of lightning surged continuously, gradually transforming into a human form, growing a head, hands, and feet, and finally turning into a robust old man with white hair and beard, wearing a dark gold and noble robe. Strange blood-red runes were carved on his face, extending all the way to the corners of his eyes, and his whole body exuded a forbidden and ominous aura.
"As expected of the ancient goddess Nuwa, if I weren't on the other side, under the power of the Demon Ancestor, even I would have been unable to escape death," Zeus's deep voice rang out.
He glanced at Hades and Poseidon, who were slowly taking shape, but ignored them and went off alone.
He wants to take Nuwa's divine essence and offer it to the Demon Ancestor.
Although Nuwa's divine essence was already trapped and unable to escape to the other side, he was still eager to find it as soon as possible.
boom!
Zeus transformed into lightning and charged towards the direction of Nuwa's divine form.
Golden lightning continuously pierced through the endless gray mist, like a continuous bolt of lightning, splitting the entire world in two.
But as Zeus walked, he suddenly saw a figure standing quietly in the depths of the gray fog, blocking his path.
Zeus never gives way to anyone; anything that dares to stand in his way will be torn to shreds by his thunderbolts...
The next moment.
Sizzle!
The golden lightning bolt, like a car screeching to a halt in the gray mist, stopped abruptly before the figure, its face filled with horror.
Zeus immediately lowered his noble head respectfully, looking fearful and nervous, like a schoolchild who had made a mistake and met his teacher.
"Greetings, Lord Demon Ancestor!"
The graceful figure slowly turned around, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. A fitted black gauze dress clung to her exquisite figure. She raised her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with indifference.
Her narrow eyes had a slight reddish tinge at the edges, like naturally formed eyeshadow, which, combined with her pale skin, gave her a beauty that was even more captivating than Xi Shi's when she was sickly.
That's my wife.
"Mmm." His wife's lips moved slightly, letting out a soft, delicate "Mmm."
Zeus kept his head bowed low, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest, and quietly awaited his instructions.
Strangely, the wife didn't say anything, and the air was completely silent.
Far away, Fang Xiu naturally heard Zeus addressing his wife through her projection.
Demon Ancestor!
The progenitor of all demons? That damned bastard is indeed the source of all pollution!
Time ticked by, and Zeus found himself sweating profusely. After much hesitation, he asked, "May I ask what brings Lord Demon Ancestor here?"
"What do you think?" the projection of his wife, controlled by Fang Xiu, asked softly.
Fang Xiu had no idea why the Demon Ancestor had come, so he could only pass the question on to Zeus.
His wife's gentle voice was very pleasant to hear, but to Zeus it was like a thunderclap.
His hair stood on end instantly, and a chill ran down his spine and spread throughout his body.
With a thud!
Zeus knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, and said, "Your subordinate deserves to die for letting Nuwa's divine essence escape. But please rest assured, Demon Ancestor, the Other Shore is under your power. No matter how powerful Nuwa is, she will never escape the Other Shore. Please give your subordinate another hour, no, half an hour... the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! Your subordinate only needs the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to find Nuwa's divine essence!"
Seeing that the Demon Ancestor remained silent, he was so frightened that he repeatedly changed the deadline.
The Demon Ancestor pondered for a moment: "What about the other two?"
Zeus quickly replied, "Hades and Poseidon are rebuilding their divine bodies and will be here soon."
"Hmm." The Demon Ancestor fell silent again.
Meanwhile, Fang Xiu's progress was also very rapid. With his wife's delaying tactics, he had successfully made half of Nuwa's divine essence ethereal.
Before long, two more divine lights rushed over. When they saw Zeus standing still, they were about to speak when they caught sight of the beautiful figure in front of Zeus. Their expressions changed instantly, and they quickly ran over to greet him respectfully.
"Your subordinate pays respects to the Demon Ancestor!" X2.
Then, the four of them stared at each other in silence.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Fang Xiu was completely unaware of the situation between them, so he didn't know what to talk about. Right now, he was just relying on his wife's intimidating presence to keep them in check.
But the shock wouldn't last long. Zeus and the others weren't fools; they would soon see through the deception.
Fortunately, there's a rollback feature after death, allowing for endless testing.
