After the middle-aged man in plain clothes was killed, the rest of Lan Yan's men were quickly suppressed by the patrol team of Chishui City. Some were killed, some were captured, and the noisy Chishui City became quiet again.
Lin Xi and the other two returned to the corpse, no, to the waters where Shuize, the Lord of Chishui City, was sleeping. After Lan Yan and his group were dealt with, Shuize lifted the order to search the city and brought them back here. Lin Xi didn't want to come in her heart, but with the two big guys staring at her from the front and the back, they had no choice.
On the reef, Shuize, dressed in red, had his back to them and was looking far away, not knowing whether he was looking at the once vast and boundless sea or at the other side of the space wall. Amid the sound of the waves, for some reason, there was a faint sense of sadness and grandeur.
The atmosphere was somewhat depressing, and no one spoke, all in tacit silence. This silence lasted for a long time, so long that Lin's legs were a little sore from standing, and finally she could hear other sounds besides the waves.
"Blah."
The black and gold sign holder in the system panel suddenly shook.
The system is taking advantage of us? Damn, are the high priests going to take action against us?
When the system starts to take advantage, it means someone is going to be in trouble, and the situation at this time and place is that they are at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it.
It must not be a fatal disaster.
Lin closed her eyes and prayed silently. After she finished praying, she finally had the courage to look at the content of the fortune. A line of short words came into her sight.
【Shui Ze, male, 2315 years old, died. 】
What? Mizusawa, death?!
Lin Yu took a breath of cold air. It was not them who were to blame, but the Lord of Chishui City? Lin Yu subconsciously suspected that she had read it wrong, and lowered her head to take another look at the content of the signature.
She was not mistaken, it was indeed Shuize who took over the system.
"System, did you make the wrong choice?" Even after checking again and again, Lin Xi still felt it was unlikely.
They had already witnessed Shuize's strength. The SS-level killer whale couldn't even last a minute in his hands. And this was Chishui City. The spirits all over the city were his people. He didn't even have to do it himself. He could kill them with a single order. What's more, there was a high priest of the Venerable level at this time.
Wait, does the high priest want to kill Shuize?
Both of them are venerables, and their strength should be similar. The high priest is determined to regain his body and be reborn as a human being. Could it be that he has set his eyes on Shuize's handsome body?
The more Lin Xi thought about it, the more it made sense. She even thought that when the two men were fighting, they were escaping from Chishui. But why would Shuize be the one who died among two men of equal strength? (High Priest:???)
"What are you thinking about?" The cold voice seemed to echo in my ears.
Lin Xi, who was thinking about how to find an opportunity to hint to her companions, was suddenly interrupted. She raised her eyes and saw the protagonist who occupied the territory. At this time, Shuize had returned from the distant reef and was standing not far ahead.
Yes, the occupation range of the system is three meters in radius. Since it can be occupied successfully, the water must be within the radius.
Chen Chu hesitated for a moment and replied, "If everything you said before is true, then I will do my best."
Shuize frowned, looking dissatisfied: "Just trying your best?"
Chen Chu: “Just try your best.”
The responsibility of saving the world was too great. Even though the two described the process so easily, Chen Chu still did not dare to boast that he would succeed. Moreover, he did not completely believe them.
Shuize stared at Chen Chu, as if trying to force Chen Chu to change his answer.
Chen Chu looked back calmly and did not change his words.
Qingkong, who had been as quiet as a chicken and pretending that he was not there, could no longer remain calm. His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, his thoughts boiling with countless guesses gathering in his mind.
It seems that my previous guess was correct. The high priest went to Chen Chu with such fanfare, and he really had something to tell Chen Chu. Moreover, not only the high priest, but also the Lord of Chishui City seemed to have reached some kind of deal with Chen Chu. Combined with the scene of the three of them appearing together just now, perhaps the two of them were looking for Chen Chu for the same purpose.
What is the purpose? What purpose would make two top beings spend so much time and effort on it? And why must it be Chen Chu? Chen Chu has always had a secret that he knows. Could this secret be related to the subspace?
And Lin Nan. When they were in the city before, the Lord of Chishui City and the High Priest looked at Lin Nan with strange eyes, as if they recognized the props in Lin Nan's hand. It was not strange to recognize the props, because Lin Nan's props were probably brought out from the sub-space. What was strange was that they looked at Lin Nan with joy, satisfaction, and trust.
Yes, it's trust. How could the spirits from the second dimension trust the psychics on Earth? What's more, they had just met and even fought each other.
And the high priest...
Wait, Qingkong, what are you doing? Stop thinking!!!
Don't think any further, curiosity kills the cat, don't get yourself into trouble.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath!
Qingkong forced himself to calm down.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Shuize suddenly smiled, and the pressure he exuded was instantly retracted. The look he gave Chen Chu was no longer as deep as before, but with a hint of trust and entrustment.
Chen Chu was slightly stunned, not quite understanding Shuize's changes.
"If you say you will do your best, I will believe you will do your best." At this time, he and the high priest were both there. If they wanted to kill Chen Chu, it would be easy. If it was just for survival, Chen Chu could have agreed to their request and left here first. But Chen Chu didn't do that. He only said he would do his best, which just showed that he would really do his best.
"Come on, I'll give it to you." Shuize said, and was about to take action.
"Wait." Chen Chu stopped them, "You haven't told me yet, what should I do with these catastrophic items after I activate them and then take them back?"
The two only said to bring back the disaster props, but saving the world is such a big thing, no matter how simple it is, it is impossible to just bring the props back and throw them in the secondary space at will.
"Put it in the Tianji Realm." Shuize said.
"Tianji Realm?" Chen Chu said, "The languages and characters of Earth and Tianyu are different, and the names of the same place are also different. Is there any characteristic of Tianji Realm? Only in this way can I find it."
"You can't find it." The high priest said, and he came over. "It's not just you. I can't find it either."
Chen Chu frowned: "Since I can't find it, then..."
"She can find it." The high priest raised his hand and pointed at someone.
Chen Chu turned around and saw Lin Nan, who looked confused.
Lin Xian, who was suddenly dragged into the battle, said: "I don't know. What is the Heavenly Extreme Realm? I can count the number of sub-spaces I have been to on one hand. How can I possibly know where the Heavenly Extreme Realm is?"
The high priest said, "Your wooden fish came from there."
The wooden fish comes from Tianji Realm? No, the wooden fish was given to me by the system.
Wait, the system?! The system knows about the Heavenly Extreme Realm?
"System, do you know where the Heavenly Realm that the high priest mentioned is?" Lin Xi asked in her heart.
System: “Yes.”
Lin Xi: "You really know. The chief priest said that the monk's wooden fish came from Tianji Realm. Did you steal it from there secretly?"
Lin was not surprised by this. The system was obviously a higher-level existence. If it could appear on Earth, it could also appear in other worlds. But... how did the system come into being? Lin was becoming more and more curious.
The system denies: “I didn’t steal.”
Didn’t steal?
Lin looked at the high priest and deliberately said, "You said that the wooden fish is of the Heavenly Realm. How can you prove it? You are not trying to slander me because you think my prop has special abilities."
The chief priest said, "Proof? The eminent monk who appeared in the void when you struck the wooden fish is one of the twenty-eight constellations in my universe. I have been fighting with that old bald donkey Ci Hai for decades. Can you prove it?"
Lin nodded, and then asked the system in her heart: "Are you the old bald donkey of Cihai?"
The system used bullet screen to give Lin Xi a series of ellipsis marks one by one.
【……】
Lin Xi: "I'm sorry, Master Ci Hai, I...I don't mean to scold you, it's..."
System: "I am not Ci Hai."
Lin Yan: "Then you are..."
System: “I am not a human.”
Lin Yan said awkwardly: "Well, even if you don't want to say it, you don't have to scold yourself."
System: “I am the system.”
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Yes, it didn’t seem to be a problem that the system said she was not a human.
Seeing that Lin Nan didn't say anything, the high priest ignored her and looked at Chen Chu: "There is a formation arranged in advance by the astrologer in the Tianji Realm. After the activation, the world-destroying props will automatically sense the direction when entering the Tianji Realm. You put the props in one by one, and the mission will be completed."
Chen Chu did not answer the high priest immediately, but turned to ask Lin Nan: "Lin Nan, do you know the Heavenly Secret Mirror?"
Of course I didn't know, but if I said I didn't know, she wouldn't be able to explain the origin of the prop "the monk's wooden fish".
Lin Yu: "System, can you lead us into the Heavenly Realm?"
System: "To open the Heavenly Mirror, you need to collect six world-destroying items."
World destruction? Lin Xi's eyes moved slightly. The high priests used the term "world-destroying props". On Earth, they called them "catastrophic props".
Lin Xi said firmly: "You are related to Tianyu."
The system didn't answer, but silence was actually a kind of tacit agreement. Moreover, the aloof system took the initiative only a few times, and each time it was related to Tianyu.
Especially the map. When no one knew what to do with it, the system took the initiative to suggest that it could recycle the map. At that time, Lin Nan only thought that the system was awesome, but didn't think much about it. After all, in her cognition, the system came from a higher level, with great magical powers and omnipotence. There was nothing wrong with it being able to recycle the map. But now Lin Nan doesn't think so.
Lin Xi: "I get swallowed into this space every time not because of my bad luck, but because of you."
System: "Mostly because of your bad luck."
Screw you, it's all your fault. Don't even think about relying on my luck. And I seriously doubt that my bad luck is also caused by you.
Lin Yan wanted to argue with the system for three hundred rounds, but at this time, others were still waiting for her answer. Lin Yan pulled herself away from her thoughts and quickly replied, "I know."
Chen Chu's eyes widened slightly: "Can you go in?"
Lin nodded: "It should be possible."
"Should?" The high priest frowned, obviously not very satisfied with the answer.
"The Tianji Realm is closed. To reopen it, we need to collect six catastrophic items." Lin Xi directly conveyed the system's words.
Collect six catastrophic items? When Chen Chu heard this, the first thing he thought of was the map he gave to Lin. The high priest mentioned the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and Lin was related to the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Catastrophic items must be placed in the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and Lin's ability happened to be able to accommodate catastrophic items.
Is this such a coincidence?
The High Priest and Shuize were not surprised by Lin's answer. Tianji Realm is the holy land of Tianyu, and it is also a place specially arranged by the astrologer to save the world. It would be strange if people could enter and exit at will. It requires the collection of six world-destroying items to open it, which means that as long as Tianji Realm is opened, Tianyu can be revived.
The high priest and Shuize looked at each other, and there was a little more hope in their eyes.
"Fuck you."
This time Chen Chu did not stop him. Under the gaze of everyone, Shuize reached into his chest with his right hand. His body turned into water in an instant, and a circle of ripples appeared on his chest. He took out a red stone sculpture from it. The stone sculpture was the size of a palm, red in color, and shaped like some kind of bird, but it had four eyes. The eyes were shining, and the fire was flowing, as if it were a living thing.
The moment the stone sculpture appeared, a huge amount of fire energy surged out, but just as it appeared, it was wrapped by an even more powerful water energy and suppressed.
"Here." Shuize handed the stone sculpture to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu took it and held it in his hand. He did not sense the method of suppressing the catastrophic item that Shuize had mentioned before. When he was about to ask, he saw Shuize suddenly raise his hand and reach deep into his head, and take out a water-blue crystal from between his eyebrows.
Chen Chu's pupils trembled violently.
Energy source?!
The so-called energy source is the energy crystal formed in the body of a superpower after cultivation. It is the energy center of the superpower of the human body. Once the energy source is broken, the superpower will be destroyed at the least, and the worst is direct death.
The shattered sky is no longer a place where ordinary people can survive, and Shuize taking out the energy source at this time is tantamount to suicide.
Chen Chu's shock lasted only a moment. Before he could even stop it, Shuize had already pressed the aqua-blue crystal into the stone sculpture.
Chen Chu stared blankly at the water whose aura began to decline rapidly.
Shuize simply said: "My power can only suppress drought once, so use it with caution."
At this moment, Chen Chu didn't know what to say. He could only hold the stone sculpture tightly in his hand and nodded heavily.
Shui Ze smiled contentedly and turned to look at the high priest: "My mission is accomplished."
The high priest said in a heavy tone: "I know."
Mizuzawa sighed: "It's really a disaster that will last for thousands of years."
The high priest rarely refuted, so he let the disaster be.
Shuize turned around and walked towards the sea. His red robe was blown up by the sea breeze, like a red lotus in full bloom. The red lotus bloomed to its fullest, turning into countless points of light that dissipated in the Chishui sea.
"Boom boom"
The whole city suddenly shook, the sky was shaking, the earth was trembling, and the waves were surging.
"Red Water is about to close." The high priest withdrew his gaze from the sea and said to Chen Chu, "I will wait for you at the next space fragment."
As soon as the words fell, the space around them suddenly shattered, and black space vortices appeared.
That is the space gate that appeared due to the collapse of this space.
