"Of course not."
With a bang, everyone's eyes widened instantly, and a series of startling speculations flashed through their minds.
What? Why must the Jade Rabbit return?
A little speculation reveals that the gods of Heaven have been on a long expedition to the Great World for over ten thousand years, with no sign of returning. If it weren't for the Jade Rabbit's sudden appearance, even the existence of Heaven would be shrouded in mystery.
Of course, everyone present now firmly believes in the existence of the Heavenly Court and even feels great awe for it.
After all, Nüba, a figure from mythology, stood alive before them, suppressing them to the point that they dared not even move.
Even Nüba needed to be tempered in the eyes of the celestial beings and gods of Heaven.
Let alone them?
The crowd, who were endlessly speculating about the strength of the Heavenly Court, naturally thought that the Jade Rabbit had come to do the Yellow Emperor's private business—bring his daughter to his side.
However, this has now been denied by the Jade Rabbit itself.
Even if they were unwilling, these peerless experts could only think of one possibility...
Could it be that the gods of Heaven are about to return?
Some people frowned. Damn it, they should have thought of war earlier! Who said the Heavenly Court would definitely win? Maybe they would be defeated and have to flee back to their lair!
What about these people?
Accustomed to standing at the top and looking down on everyone else, suddenly a whole bunch of people will start looking down on you out of nowhere.
Who could willingly accept this?
…………
Just as the others present were filled with mixed feelings.
Ignoring the changing expressions of those around her, the Jade Rabbit System, which had long since been through countless battles with its host, slightly extended its paws towards Nüba and tilted its head, saying:
“However, before I fled… no, before I set off, the Yellow Emperor did ask this Jade Rabbit to take you back.”
escape?
Is it an escape?
Could they have guessed correctly? The Heavenly Court really had suffered a defeat and was fleeing back to its homeland.
The Jade Rabbit was sent to pave the way.
Upon noticing this phrase, apart from Jiang Xuan and the Qin Emperor, who was very familiar with the Jade Rabbit's nature, everyone else immediately thought of the other side.
Before they could think any deeper, Nüba lowered her head. This being, who was deeply immersed in the mythological identity set by the system and Ling Xiao, said with dissatisfaction:
"It's fine if Father can't come in person, but why entrust it to you, Jade Rabbit?"
The Jade Rabbit is the pet of the Moon Goddess Changxi.
Changxi was the one who sealed her away back then. Even if she knew that it was her father's good intentions, Nüba could not possibly have any good feelings towards her and the Jade Rabbit.
"Could it be that he has found a new and desirable child, and has therefore neglected his good-for-nothing daughter like me?"
That's right, Nüba didn't care at all about the Jade Rabbit's return; her original purpose was...
She was the daughter of the Yellow Emperor.
A genuine member of the Heavenly Court.
Other people's focus is only on whether their father still loves them!
This unexpected reaction even surprised the system beneath the Jade Rabbit's skin. It paused for a moment, glanced at the instructions sent by its host, and then reorganized its thoughts:
"As a supreme being in the Heavenly Court, the Yellow Emperor was so busy conquering the Great World that he had countless clones to divide himself into. How could he possibly divide his essence to conceive new offspring..."
"Pah, pah, pah, that's getting off-topic."
The jade rabbit wrinkled its face in a human-like manner:
"As for why the Yellow Emperor didn't come to pick you up, the answer is simple: He and the others from the Heavenly Court have already set off for more distant places, and it would be too much trouble for them to come over."
"Why not?"
Nuwa was still relentless, but her attitude had softened considerably; she was just asking questions out of habit.
"Because it's too far."
"This is not a mere thousand or ten thousand miles." The Jade Rabbit's gaze was deep, its tone ethereal and indifferent.
“Nuba, you did not embark on the expedition with the Heavenly Court, so you do not understand what the scenery is like beyond the world. Sometimes, even if a god exhausts his life, it is difficult to reach a new world.”
"In these ten thousand years, it took the Heavenly Court a full two thousand three hundred years just to reach that newly discovered great world."
"And this was achieved with the combined efforts of the entire Heavenly Court!"
Everyone was surprised again.
Jiang Xuan, whose cultivation level was the lowest on the field, thought for a moment. He could probably travel a thousand miles in an hour if he flew at full speed. If he flew for two thousand years without sleep... the number was too big to calculate.
Anyway, it's an extremely astonishing distance.
How far away must that place be, for which celestial beings of countless levels higher than him have flown for so many years?
It's beyond even our imagination.
Jiang Xuan was lost in thought when he suddenly realized something completely unrelated—so, he was very lucky.
To cross immeasurable distances.
Among billions of humans, only he encountered the Jade Rabbit that fell from the sky.
We still need to work harder...
…………
On the other side, the Jade Rabbit, seemingly gazing intently at the Nüba before it, actually wasn't missing the expressions of everyone in the entire space. It continued:
"Then came thousands of years of war, in which the gods and immortals finally emerged victorious and reaped enormous benefits. They then embarked on a new journey without hesitation."
"The Yellow Emperor was among the first to leave, so naturally he couldn't come back to find you."
Nuwa couldn't help but frown and ask softly:
Why are you in such a hurry?
Even in ordinary battles, after a victory, everyone from the rulers to the soldiers would take a good rest and recuperation.
Prevent physical and mental breakdown.
The Jade Rabbit gave her a strange look, making Nüba feel uneasy, as if she had said something wrong. Fortunately, the Jade Rabbit quickly looked away.
"Because once you take the first step, you can never stop."
It is said that human desires are endless.
"So while the desires of immortals and gods in other aspects have diminished, their desire to break through to higher levels has intensified by thousands!"
