"In that case..." Xie Xihe raised his eyebrows slightly, then lowered his voice the next moment, "Where is the Thunder Elemental God Kui?"
Ying Kui was stunned for half a second. Although he didn't know what Xie Xihe wanted to do, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your subordinate is here."
"The Thunder God has just returned to his throne. It's time to go back to the Thunder Palace and deliver all the thunder punishments that should be delivered."
Ying Kui was a little confused about what Xie Xihe meant and glanced at her uncertainly.
Xie Xihe didn't look at him. Her gaze fell on Luo Er, and a casual smile appeared on her beautiful red lips again. "By the way, when I was on Earth, I vaguely sensed the aura of the Elemental God's soul. It was in the direction of Lun City in Country Y. The Lightning Elemental God might as well investigate."
"If I'm mistaken, that's fine. But if there really is an elemental god who left his soul on Earth..." Xie Xihe chuckled and said slowly, "Then we'll follow the rules."
Luo Er's expression changed slightly.
The Ancient God Realm takes it as its mission to protect the world, and there are people paying attention to the situation on Earth at all times. However, unless there is a major disaster or they are undergoing training through the path of reincarnation, people from the Ancient God Realm are not allowed to leave the realm without permission.
In this regard, the requirements for the ancient gods and elemental gods are more stringent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are harsh.
After all, both the ancient gods and the elemental gods possess power far beyond the secular world. Once they intervene in the secular world, the impact will be equally huge.
Therefore, if it was really as Xie Xihe said, Luo Er would not only lose that wisp of soul, but also be judged by the rules of the world, at least 27 thunder punishments, then she...
Luo Er's face turned paler and paler, and he finally couldn't help but look at Emperor Hao with hidden hope.
Emperor Hao's brows furrowed slightly. He opened his mouth to say something, but stopped when he met Xie Xihe's faint smiling gaze.
After a moment, he nodded: "It's time to investigate."
One sentence put an end to this little episode. Luo Er suddenly tightened his grip on the staff, feeling pent up and unwilling, but he couldn't even utter a word of defense.
Xie Xihe glanced at her indifferently and walked slowly into the hall.
Sheng Shijing and Xie Chujun followed closely behind.
*
The dull sound of thunder sounded from time to time in the ancient temple, falling on Luo Er and also on the hearts of every citizen in the ancient god world.
For some unknown reason, everyone felt a sense of urgency as if a storm was about to come.
Some young people were fine, but some old people who had witnessed the chaos a thousand years ago couldn't help but sigh deeply: "I hope everything is okay..."
All the worries and suspicions came from the outside world, but the ancient temple in the center was completely quiet.
Perhaps it was because Xie Xihe's show of force had worked, perhaps it was because the former Emperor Xi's influence still remained, or perhaps it was because they had seen through Emperor Hao's attitude, all the ancient gods and elemental gods were quite honest.
Apart from Emperor Hao who would occasionally come to the Xihuang Palace to sit in meditation for a while, everyone else could only worship outside the palace.
Xie Xihe was happy to have some peace and quiet, and took advantage of this time to completely refine the sixth energy ball he obtained from the void.
At this point, six of the seven energy balls scattered by Emperor Xi in the world have returned to Xie Xihe's body, and most of her strength has been restored.
Only the last one left.
Xie Xihe's lowered eyebrows obscured the emotions in her eyes. She looked at the teacup in her hand, steam rising from it. Suddenly, she missed the milk tea shop near Dawn Light. She couldn't help but glance sideways at Sheng Shijing and said, "I want some milk tea."
Sheng Shijing was startled, then chuckled: "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked slowly towards the side door.
The man has a tall and straight figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his long legs are particularly eye-catching. Even just his back can make people feel that he has a unique temperament.
Emperor Hao looked at him quietly, his gentle eyes narrowed unconsciously.
This posture, this expression, is somewhat similar to that person...
Thinking of this, Emperor Hao's straight back suddenly stiffened, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, making his heart beat uncontrollably.
He slowly looked towards Xie Xihe.
Xie Xihe noticed it, but pretended not to notice. After a moment, he raised his head from his teacup, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Emperor Hao looked at her quietly for a long time, so long that Xie Xihe thought he would not speak. Finally, he made a move, but asked an irrelevant question.
"Do you remember the disaster that happened a thousand years ago?" Emperor Hao asked.
Xie Xihe was startled, his already sparse eyebrows and eyes became even more sparse, and he said lightly: "I didn't expect you to bring up this matter on your own initiative."
Emperor Hao smiled and said, "Originally, I wouldn't. For me and the Ancient God Realm, as long as you can come back, that's enough. Nothing else matters."
Xie Xihe raised his eyes: "So?"
So, why bring it up now?
Because he was immersed in the surprise of her sudden return, he overlooked a most basic problem - there is only one person in this world who can move her.
And that person...
Emperor Hao lowered his eyelids to block the turbulent waves in his eyes. He raised his hand and placed a jade slip on the table next to Xie Xihe. His voice was still gentle: "The answer and what you want are all here."
After a pause, he said meaningfully, "As for whether to go or not, and when to go, it's up to you."
After saying this, Emperor Hao turned and left.
Xie Xihe's gaze remained on the jade slip at hand for a long time without movement.
Of course she recognized this jade slip - it was the only key to enter the forbidden area of the ancient gods, the Land of Chaos.
As expected, the last energy ball belonging to her was in the forbidden area.
As long as she enters the Land of Chaos, she will be able to completely restore her strength. Only then will she have the capital to fight against Emperor Hao and the impending world-destroying disaster.
But once she left, she would have no control over what Sheng Shijing and Xie Chujun would face.
So what Emperor Hao left behind was not just a jade slip, but two choices.
Either slowly wait for death or give it a try.
This was a clear plan, Xie Xihe knew it, but there was nothing he could do.
In fact, she had already made her choice as early as when she exposed the identity of Emperor Xi and returned to the ancient temple.
Isn’t it?
Soft footsteps came from the side door. Xie Xihe raised her eyes and looked into the man's gentle eyes. She looked at him steadily, and after a moment, she slowly said, "I have to leave for a while. You and father..."
"I will take good care of my father." Sheng Shijing took over the conversation, paused, and his expression softened a little, "And myself."
Xie Xihe just looked at him deeply and said nothing more.
Sheng Shijing smiled faintly and handed her the milk tea that he had finally prepared.
Xie Xihe took it and tried it tentatively. His delicate face wrinkled instantly: "It's so bitter."
"Really?" A man's laughing voice rang in my ears. The next moment, I felt a warm touch on my lips. The man said in a vague voice, "Let me try it."
