Chapter 44: Prepare for the disaster and wait for the opportunity.
The goddess rejected Yinglong's proposal.
"I wanted everyone to be alive, to have a happy life, but I seem to have messed up... This is the punishment I deserve for being too greedy."
"Even Chongming can't solve the problem you are worried about?" the God asked stubbornly.
"Even the three of us can't solve it together," the goddess said softly. "So, I really..."
"I don't want to hear your apology." The God Lord covered her mouth.
Yinglong was a little angry because he couldn't help, and wanted to curse Chongming for being useless.
But Yinglong was unwilling to vent such negative emotions to her friend, so she flew away angrily.
"This umbrella is not fun at all. Throw it away and I'll find you something more fun!"
The goddess looked at Yinglong's furious back and stroked the umbrella helplessly.
"She's always this straightforward and adorable. She doesn't have any bad intentions. Sorry, did you scare me?"
Chu Sheng blinked and blinked again at the flawless face, finally confirming that the goddess was talking to him.
……Why? !
Chu Sheng was shocked.
"You are destined to be with me and my junior brother. I can see the thread of fate spreading from you."
The goddess explained softly, the blush from her laughter still lingering on her cheeks, making her look a little better.
"Coming later, having crossed the river of time, what are you looking for here?"
Chu Sheng tried to speak, but the golden lotus restricted her ability to speak. She thought for a moment and suddenly realized that the goddess was not talking about "you", but "you all"...
Although she didn't understand how it was done, Chu Sheng still followed her intuition and used her spiritual sense to gently touch the consciousness in the spirit umbrella, signaling the other party to come out and speak for her.
"...Golden Lotus of Creation."
A large, bony hand grasped the umbrella handle, and the young man who appeared under the umbrella spoke in a slightly unnatural tone.
"We need the Golden Lotus of Creation, or any other kind of natural treasure that can protect others from rebuilding their broken paths regardless of their realm."
The golden lotus possessed by Chu Sheng swayed slightly, and her eyes seemed to meet the young man's inadvertently, and then they looked away.
The goddess' eyes seemed to turn into a whirlpool in an instant, mysterious and deep, like an abyss that appears calm on the surface, but beneath the mirror-like surface, there is a great terror hidden in the undercurrent.
At the moment when Yuan Qi and Chu Sheng were almost losing their consciousness in her eyes, the goddess suddenly closed her eyes, and a line of blood and tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.
"I see..." she sighed, wiping away the remaining bloodstains on her cheek with her fair fingertips.
"You arrived too early. The Golden Lotus can only connect the energies of different beings at this moment. It doesn't have the effect you need."
Before Chu Sheng could feel disappointed, the goddess continued.
"Please stay and wait for a while. When the time is right, you will naturally get it."
Kunlun Ruins.
The moment Ye Ziqing and Qi An saw Yuan Qi appear with an umbrella, they punched him in tacit understanding.
"I knew you must have been pretending to be dead in your umbrella!"
Yuan Qi dodged silently, then tilted his umbrella slightly to show them the golden lotus in his hand, which was swaying its leaves with them.
"This is……"
While Ye Ziqing was still thinking, Qi An was the first to recognize the person with his beast-like intuition as a sword cultivator, and was immediately shocked.
"Junior sister! How did Yuan Qi harm you like this? Speak up, Junior sister!"
Ye Ziqing suddenly realized what was going on when Qi An called her "Junior Sister" and hurried forward to try to take the Chu Sheng from Yuan Qi.
"How could this happen! Let me see...Xiao Sheng, I'm your Senior Brother Ziqing, are you okay?!"
Yuan Qi looked at Ye Ziqing, who seemed to be a little silly after being infected by Qi An. The Zhongnan clan leader, who always appeared in a strategic posture, took a deep breath with forbearance.
"Is it possible that Xiao Sheng is now a golden lotus without a mouth, so she can't speak?"
Chu Sheng touched Ye Ziqing with his spiritual tentacles, and the eldest brother of the Hehuan Sect, whose IQ suddenly returned to the average, finally connected with his junior sister's train of thought.
"Xiao Sheng?"
"Senior Brother Ziqing, it's me."
Chu Sheng simply recounted her encounter with the goddess and the conversation between her, Yuan Qi, and after a slight hesitation, she told Ye Ziqing her feelings truthfully.
"I feel that there's something a little strange about this Senior Brother Yuan Qi... Senior Brother Ziqing, please be careful."
"I roughly know what the situation is. Don't worry, Xiaosheng."
Ye Ziqing glanced at Yuan Qi subtly, but was not very surprised by Chu Sheng's concerns. Instead, he agreed without hesitation with a normal expression.
"Senior Brother will solve these small problems, don't be afraid."
While Yuan Qi and Chu Sheng were with the goddess, Qi An and Ye Ziqing had already taken advantage of the Lord God's absence to thoroughly explore Kunlun Ruins inside and out.
"No wonder those geniuses who were on the list of geniuses in the past could hardly retain the memory of being on the list." Ye Ziqing sighed lightly.
“To be able to cross the time and go upstream, and pick up opportunities from it is already an act that defies heaven.
Unless one has cultivated for many lifetimes or is born with this knowledge, how can one remain sane amidst such a torrent?"
"The reason why we can't find Gui Xuan may be because he is not in Kunlun Ruins." Qi An said.
"There must be other geniuses from other continents who have been deployed during this period. As long as we don't intervene rashly, there shouldn't be any conflicts between us."
Qi An is not afraid of competing with others. Ye Ziqing, Yuan Qi and others all have made a name for themselves by fighting their way out among many cultivators.
But at this moment, regardless of the reason, they all gathered here for one purpose. Laying low until their wish was achieved was clearly the best option.
Chu Sheng looked at the high steps to the sky, feeling that the goddess seemed to be hiding something.
But it was obvious that even the god who was her friend could not get a clear response, and she, who had never met him before, could not get an answer from him.
The location of Kunlun Ruins almost completely overlaps with the two continents of Mobei and Mobei in later generations, but there is no desert ravaged by evil winds and yellow sand, but a vibrant land covered with green grass.
Chu Sheng still remembered the state of nothingness she fell into when she broke through the Golden Core stage. That was the first time she saw Chongming and the goddess. It was obviously a time before the construction of Kunlun Ruins.
Why did we create the Heavenly Stage? Why did we repair the spiritual veins? If the past losses had been compensated, why were the southern and northern parts of the desert still an endless wasteland?
besides……
Chu Sheng tried to use his spiritual consciousness to enter Yunshui Xuantian, but was blocked again as expected.
Why does she always feel that this section of the Heavenly Stairs in Kunlun Ruins has some similarities with the Jade Stairs in Yunshui Xuantian?
The existence of the Tianjiao List seems to be more than just a magic weapon to describe it.
Being able to jump to such a long time node means that the Yuanchu spirituality belonging to the Tianjiao List had already been quietly born at this time.
If the names of the goddess and the god were buried under the eternal yellow sand by the torrent of time, then why did the name of Chongming Immortal, who was closely related to these two people, remain?
Ye Ziqing lowered his eyes and stared at the golden lotus that seemed to be distracted in the palm of his hand. With a slight movement of his fingertips, he set up a miniature soundproofing magic circle.
The occasionally reliable eldest brother of the Hehuan Sect thought for a moment and then added a soothing meditation rune on it.
"Okay, let Xiaosheng rest for a while."
He withdrew his hand, looked up at Yuan Qi, who was holding an umbrella and smiling calmly in front of him, and stood with Qi An to form a three-way confrontation.
"Let's talk, Yuan Qi. Regarding your current condition, should I call you Yuan Qi, or should I call you..."
"Tian Yan?"
In the vast sea of stars, at the gathering place of a mysterious and obscure vortex, a cultivator with a face exactly like the young man holding an umbrella was sitting cross-legged with his palms facing the sky, his eyes closed and his breathing calmly.
Xingzi lost the toy he was playing with and it fell into his hands angrily.
"I don't agree. You're totally cheating by doing this!"
The young man ignored the stars that were so hot that they seemed to burn through his palms, closed his eyes and spoke calmly.
"I followed your instructions completely, and my body wasn't in danger of disaster, so how could I be cheating?"
"You and your spiritual umbrella are half of each other. Who goes and who stays is connected by mind, there is no difference at all..." Xingzi was suddenly stuck in the middle of his words.
"How do you know so much? Who are you?"
“It’s called the Heavenly Pride List, but it’s actually a Heavenly Pride Tribulation.
Those who made it onto the list and then returned to their original position might seem fine at first glance, but within a few years their Daoist hearts would collapse. Only a few geniuses could achieve Nirvana and ascend to a revered position...
The Yuan family and Zhongnan Dao Sect possess almost the most complete collection of classics in the world of cultivation, so knowing these things is a piece of cake for them."
The leader of Zhongnan Dao Sect opened his eyes and looked down at it.
"You can rest assured that I am just an ordinary cultivator, not a great sage who has cultivated for many lifetimes or is born with knowledge.
After leaving this place, my memory will still be sealed by the rules, and not a single word about this place will be leaked out.
I don’t care what the truth of this world is, nor do I want to explore the source of all cause and effect. I don’t want to know what the ending of this world will be.
My family and the sect have devoted all their efforts to support my path. The long-cherished wishes and obsessions of so many people can only be relieved if I achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, leaving behind a great reputation.
My goal is nothing but to carry out actions centered around this matter. Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me."
Xingzi was puzzled.
“A smart person like you should know what you will face after ascending with the Heavenly Dao damaged.
This world is not a world of great contention. Luck and opportunity have not yet reached their peak. If you force yourself to ascend, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven...
Even so, are you still going to do it anyway?"
"A world of great contention?" The young man scoffed.
"Only losers need to lie dormant, waiting for the time when everything is arranged. What's more, I think this is the best time."
He held up the star and pointed at the chaotic sea of stars that was slowly flowing thousands of miles above the sky.
"As long as someone takes the lead and opens this path, future cultivators will naturally have the heart to pursue the Tao. Talented people in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river. There will always be great competition in this world, and no one can fail to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal!"
