The little girl led us to the palace and then suddenly disappeared.
The pure white palace appears even more sacred and solemn against the backdrop of the blue sky.
It's impossible not to be nervous when facing the strongest person in the world. He could obliterate me with a wave of his hand. I'm really afraid that the God will discover my identity.
"Xin'er." You took a step forward and held my hand, turning her head to give me an encouraging smile.
I felt the strength coming from You's hand, which instantly gave me confidence. "Let's go." I looked back at You's smiling eyes with a smile on my face.
As soon as You and I stepped onto the steps, the white palace gates opened automatically.
As I walked through the wide-open door, the first thing I saw was the deity seated high in the main seat, flanked by the human deity and the demon deity on either side. The demon deity was not present.
"Nüxin, Dijun, you've arrived." The God's calm voice reached my ears. Fortunately, You was holding my hand the whole time, which kept me from panicking.
"Greetings, Three Venerables." You and I stepped forward and said in unison, our eyes lowered and not daring to look at them too much because of their imposing presence.
"Please sit down."
Only then did I raise my head and look around.
Liu Lieyu! What's Liu Lieyu doing here!
I saw Liu Lieyu sitting upright on the lower right side, and the hatred in my eyes could no longer be hidden.
"Xin'er, let's sit here." You Shiji said and pulled me to sit down below Liu Lieyu, while You Ze sat in the middle, separating Liu Lieyu and me.
I calmed myself down, forcing myself not to act impulsively. I dug my nails into my palms and took deep breaths to calm myself down.
“Woman Xin, you should let your mind arise without going anywhere.”
I glanced at the deity on the platform and replied with a faint "hmm".
The burly monk opposite me smiled and said, "Your Excellency's insight is profound."
I noticed that besides myself, You Liu Lieyu, and the other two, there were three other people on the other side.
One of them was someone I knew very well, a companion I had once spent time with—Luo.
There were two others I wasn't familiar with. One was the senior monk who had just spoken; he was wearing a red robe and had his eyes narrowed as he grinned.
There was another one who sent a chill down my spine at first glance. She had a head of slightly wavy, sea-blue hair that reached her waist, and her extremely fair skin made her purple veins stand out even more. She was resting her head on her hand, and her almond-shaped eyes were squinting as if she were thinking about something.
I looked away. Today, bigwigs from all fields have gathered here. I wonder what important matter they have to discuss. Could it really be, as You said, that they are going to discuss the matter of the evil spirit?
"Everyone is here." The deity's ethereal gaze swept over each of us present. "Do you all know what has happened recently? Resentment is now rampant everywhere, causing widespread suffering."
The senior monk readily agreed with the deity, saying, "Yes, our Western world has suffered a great deal of torment and heavy losses."
You and I exchanged a glance; it was indeed about this.
Unexpectedly, this evil spirit is so powerful that it has attracted the attention of all three. But are they called Resentment Force?
"Do you know where resentment comes from?" Of the three, only the God spoke, while the other two remained seated and silent.
“I once had the privilege of encountering a juvenile, which, based on my observation, should not belong to our species.” You raised her eyes and spoke calmly.
“That’s right.” The God-Emperor nodded. “To be honest, this resentment was also drawn from the void by the three of us.” The God-Emperor looked around as he spoke, and the Demon-Emperor and the Human-Emperor all nodded in agreement.
In the void? I was even more confused.
The others, on the other hand, seemed to understand.
"I won't go into detail about the power of resentment. I see that you still don't have a way to deal with it."
"We have not yet found a way to eliminate them." The senior monk spoke first, and when the deity's gaze swept over everyone, they shook their heads slightly.
I glanced at the smiling monk across from me and couldn't help but think to myself, "This guy is really a master of flattery."
In this situation, I naturally wouldn't say much, and You didn't say much either. I guess Liu Lieyu wasn't in a good mood either, seeing You and me. He's always been arrogant, and the man with the sea-blue hair opposite us was even colder.
If I remember correctly, the cold, blue-haired man opposite me must be the Emperor of Fengdu in Hell, the ruler of Hell.
“We can only imprison and expel them for now, but we cannot completely eliminate them,” Liu Lieyu’s unique voice rang out.
Upon hearing Liu Lieyu's voice, my emotions, which had just calmed down, surged again, and I couldn't help but want to rush forward and tear Liu Lieyu to pieces.
"It is indeed not easy to completely eliminate them. Even the three of us had to expend some effort. This is a magical artifact that the three of us prepared for you." As soon as the deity's voice fell, an object that looked like a fire poker appeared before us.
I reached out and took the black fire poker. It had a strangely warm feel to the touch, but its surface was rather rough.
"As long as this magical artifact touches the resentment, it can destroy them."
Is it that strong? I listened to the deity's words and played with the fire poker in my hand, but I couldn't see anything special about it no matter how I looked at it.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a magical artifact given by the Three Venerables; it is indeed powerful.
"Thank you for the treasure, Your Majesty." I was playing with the fire poker when I was suddenly startled by everyone's unison. I quickly looked up and said in response.
"You're welcome. It's also to drive out the resentment as soon as possible."
"With this, won't all the resentment be immediately eliminated by us?" The monk said with a smile.
The deity smiled at the great monk and said, "Buddha, the West depends on you."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
The deity smiled and gestured to the Buddha, then glanced at us and said, “I have summoned you here not only to eliminate the existing resentment, but more importantly, to block the passage connecting this realm to the void. Otherwise, the resentment will continue to pour in from the void.”
“But…” the head monk looked at the deity and scratched his bald head, saying, “wouldn’t it be better if we blocked the passage first and eliminated the resentment here?”
The deity glanced at the great monk and nodded slightly. "You're right. But blocking the passage connecting to the void isn't that simple. It won't be done in a short time. The three of us will guard the passage, and I will contact you when the time is right."
I understand what the deity means. Let's go and eliminate the resentment first. The three deities will contact us in the next step.
"I see, I was being presumptuous."
"It's nothing." The deity glanced at us. "Alright, you may go."
You and I looked at each other and prepared to get up and leave.
"By the way, Di Jun, Nü Xin, Dong Huang, the three of you, please stay for a moment." The God's calm voice sounded like a curse to my ears. Upon seeing this, the other three withdrew one after another, leaving only the three of us in the hall.
Why did the deity make the three of us stay behind? A bad feeling welled up inside me, and my heart ached.
