What are you yelling about?
Bai Yu gasped. He felt he shouldn't have come down, but if he hadn't, he wouldn't have known that things had turned out this way.
"Aren't you a god?" He frowned, kicking NIO angrily. "Where's your divine power? Even if I were a demon, you could still defeat me!"
"Really?" Wei Lai hid behind Wen Jinge, tilting his head to her side, still looking at Bai Yu with a somewhat unreal expression.
"This feathered monster wasn't created by me," he said with absolute certainty. "And the girl next to you wasn't created by me either."
"No!" Bai Yu said helplessly, "Can you please stop yelling? My head hurts. Can you listen to me first?"
"I won't listen! What the monster says must be false. I don't believe it! I don't believe it! If I believe it, I'll die!"
"You don't seem to be able to die!" Wen Jingge cleared her throat and asked, "Right?"
NIO's expression stiffened.
Wen Jingge also couldn't understand how someone who seemed so respectable back then could turn into such a monstrous person.
It's one thing for a deity to faint, but just now, he suddenly saw his own reflection on a block of ice and fainted as well.
"Don't say anything! Let me have some peace and quiet!"
"I'm afraid there's no time for you to calm down," Bai Yu said helplessly. "The way you are now, it's most likely that another version of you has already gone up to heaven, and that other version of you is taking away your abilities."
"Hmm?" Wen Jingge frowned. "What do you mean? Why are there two 'him's'?"
"I only just learned this myself, with the hibiscus tree as my witness." Bai Yu lowered his head, his eyes filled with desolation. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Because I lived on that tree, I learned some information after it left."
"Where did the Fusang tree go?"
"Where is Wen Xueshan dead?"
"You killed him?"
These were the three pieces of information Wen Jingge had gleaned. Grabbing Ji Jing's hand protectively, she asked, "So you're the only one up there because of this feather monster?"
Bai Yu gets a headache just hearing the words "feather monster." This nickname was probably something that Sha Lu wanted to say but didn't say a long time ago, so he brought it up when he was reincarnated ten thousand years later.
"I didn't kill it. I didn't even know the Fusang tree had ascended to heaven."
"Don't talk to me about going to heaven. If I could go to heaven, would I be stuck here? My corpse would still be hanging in the sky!"
Bai Yu:......
He smoothed his hair, pressed his throbbing temples, and tried to comfort himself:
It's alright! I was just as angry and bloodthirsty in my past life, so consider this retribution.
After calming down, he said, "The Snow Maiden has lost her memory. I'm just looking after her for a while. As for the grudge between her and you, that's beyond my control."
"Wait, you said earlier that there's a NIO in the sky, which is why the NIO on the ground is gradually weakening. Does everyone have two bodies, or is it just NIO?"
"Unfortunately, NIO was built with the help of the demon race to bury the first demon lord. So, I killed those meddlesome demons, and I know that."
As for the other three, including Killer, they are no pushovers. I can't guess their plans, and Killer is even better at responding to any situation with a static approach.
According to Fusangmu, the killing should be trapped...
He looked at Wen Jingge, "Your body has two different auras. This body belongs to Wei Lai, but your soul is locked with the aura of Heavenly Secrets..."
Aside from you yourselves, I can't figure out what you're trying to do!
The legend that remained after the truce ten thousand years ago said that only one god remained, but I have no idea who passed that down.
It's just because I was guarding the newly born Snow Woman at Qingqiu Lake back then. The Snow Woman doesn't look like you, but you've used both of those faces before. I don't know your plans...
After exterminating the demon race, I went to Qingqiu Lake because you once said that Qingqiu Lake was my final resting place.
"Now, can you please stop calling me the Feather Monster?"
Wen Jingge: ...
"If I call you Feather Monster, will you let go?" Wen Jingge asked, tugging at his feathers.
"No, I'll take you flying."
Wen Jingge: ...
Then, Bai Yu really accelerated, flying with a whooshing sound. Wen Jingge felt dizzy, while Wei Lai simply fainted.
"Hmm?" She looked at Ji Jing, who had also fainted, and saw a red light appear on her forehead, which wrapped around her white wings.
"What is that?" Wen Jingge reached out and grabbed it.
Bai Yu felt a surge of blood and qi, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart. Finally, he could no longer maintain his composure and, carrying Wen Jinge, plummeted downwards. "You, what did you do?"
Wen Jingge loosened her grip on the red thread and suddenly felt a wave of heat surge around her. Looking again, she saw Ji Jing had become a semi-transparent glass figure, her body twisting as she lunged at Bai Yu.
Wen Jingge cursed, "You should ask yourself what you were thinking before! You yourself said you hated this heart, and now this heart wants to actively integrate, and you're blaming me!"
The feathers on Bai Yu's body began to change color, like a tie-dyed fabric, with irregular red patterns printed on it, burning like flames and radiating scorching heat.
“I…” He plunged into a pool of water.
Before the pool water boiled, Wen Jingge picked up the NIO and flew away. Halfway through the flight, she realized something was wrong. "Wait a minute! How can I fly? I couldn't fly before."
Bai Yu was rolling around in the pool when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. It looked somewhat familiar. He glanced at the person who was hiding far away with a look of disgust on their face and smiled knowingly.
"What are you doing? That's my pool, you're trying to steal this little thing?"
"The Hibiscus tree is back."
"You're back, so you're back!" Qingling, now in human form, stood by the pool, looking at him who was still in his phoenix form, and asked in surprise, "Your heart... you found it again?"
"Um."
"No, what did you just say, Fusang tree, tree..." He looked at the sky in disbelief and cursed, "What's the use of coming back? It's gone, it's been gone for a long time, everything is gone..."
"It's always good to come back. When there is light in the sky, the darkness on the ground can also emerge. The human world should eventually return to normal, and the search for immortals and gods should not just be a scam."
Qingling was silent for a moment, then said, "So, does that mean we can't leave? Will Qingqiu Lake become a true dead zone?"
Bai Yu spread his hands, "I picked it up. You can plant it at Qingqiu Lake before the results are determined, so you can sneak down the mountain."
“That makes sense!” Qingling smiled, then looked at Wen Jingge. “I always felt that this person bullied me when I was still a Golden Crow.”
Bai Yu:......
"Greetings, disciple." Wen Jingge walked over shamelessly. "I didn't expect you to transform into someone from heaven. So you're the most powerful one after all!"
Qingling: ...
"I have something else to tell you!" Bai Yu finally transformed into human form and stepped out of the dried-up pool. "She is your father!"
Qingling: "You're lying to me! My father died a long time ago. Wait, Dad?"
"Wow?"
"Um."
"Go back to your mortal realm!" Qingling glared at him and ran away quickly.
