Chapter 221 The so-called God is nothing more than this!
But even if it was dead, Lin Qingyue still didn't intend to let him go. She stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and then a black shadow separated from the snake's body.
That was the soul of the snake demon, transformed into an ordinary little snake, and was held in Lin Qingyue's hand.
"Take me to where the false god is. Don't alarm anyone, otherwise I have plenty of ways to torture you." She was still smiling when she said this, but the snake demon was so frightened that his whole soul was shaking.
After thousands of years of hard training, enduring countless cold and hot seasons, and decades of management, he finally accumulated this tremendous power. After finally reaching the pinnacle of all living beings, he was killed in the blink of an eye, his body and soul disappeared, leaving only a remnant of his soul!
This angel-like beauty is so terrifying!
How could the snake demon dare to act rashly? He could only obey Lin Qingyue's instructions and lead her to the top floor of the temple.
Each level had a defensive formation. The formation wasn't created by the snake demon, but the snake demon knew how to move without triggering the formation's defenses.
When Lin Qingyue stepped into the highest level of the temple, the surrounding aura was completely different.
There is no evil spirit here, but there is an invisible sense of oppression that makes people feel awe.
The snake demon was well-behaved at first, but when it arrived here, it seemed as if it had found a backer and was no longer so afraid.
While Lin Qingyue was observing the surrounding situation, the snake demon's soul quickly escaped and quickly returned to the sixth floor, attaching itself to its own corpse.
The huge snake body, which had lost its head and was covered in blood, grew a new head the moment its soul returned.
Because the wound was so severe, the snake demon couldn't regain his humanity for a while. He sighed as if he had survived a disaster, "Fortunately, the woman didn't realize that I'm a two-headed snake with two lives..."
Dongfang Qi was brought to the top floor a quarter of an hour ago and then thrown directly into the palace gate. The person who brought him here turned around and left, not daring to stay here for a moment.
The elders in the temple all knew that although their god had the power to see through heaven and earth, his temperament was capricious and unpredictable.
A servant who was delivering a sacrifice was so curious about the appearance of the god that he only dared to take a quick glance inside the temple.
In an instant, flames rose from the man's body, and he turned into charcoal amidst shrill screams.
Gods must not be blasphemed, especially the great god Guiyuan!
Dongfang Qi was thrown into the hall, and rolled a few times due to inertia before landing in the center of the hall.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, yet there was a strong sense of oppression that inexplicably made people feel fear.
Dongfang Qi waited for a while but heard no other movement.
So he quietly opened his eyes and looked around.
The grand hall was paved with golden tiles, and the gilded dragon pillars were inlaid with gems. In the center of the hall stood a lifelike pure gold statue.
Since arriving in Luocheng, Dongfang had seen many statues of the Great God Guiyuan. Some stood majestically in Taoist robes, while others sat on lotus pedestals, resembling the Buddha himself.
The deity here is indeed dressed in imperial attire and sits on a dragon throne. Its facial features are as soft as a woman's, making it difficult to tell whether it is male or female.
Dongfang Qi looked at all this and felt an inexplicable familiar throbbing in his heart, as if he had stepped into some forgotten secret land.
Suddenly, he realized in a trance that this was clearly the background that appeared countless times in those dreams with Lin Qingyue.
The palace is still there at this moment, but the tenderness and lingering feeling in the dream is gone, leaving only a cold and creepy feeling.
"Hahaha..." Sinister laughter suddenly came from all directions.
"What a fine body! Not bad, not bad! I'm very satisfied."
The sound was scattered at first, but then gradually gathered together and turned into a clear and pleasant female voice.
Countless clouds gathered in the hall and soon condensed into the shape of a woman.
She was wearing black imperial clothing, with a pearl crown hanging from her head. The shadows of the pearls swayed, half covering her face, adding a bit of majesty and mystery.
When Dongfang Qi saw the woman's appearance clearly, he was immediately surprised.
She actually had a face that was exactly like Lin Qingyue's. Not only did her features look the same, but even her attire was the same as in the dream.
"Who are you?" Dongfang Qi was a little dazed for a moment, and murmured, "Your Majesty?"
"I am the Emperor, why don't you come and serve me?"
The scenes and people in the dream appeared so clearly before his eyes that he could not tell whether he was in a dream or reality.
"Are you the person in my dream?"
At this point, Dongfang Qi thought of a possibility: Wasn't the person in the dream Lin Qingyue? But... the woman in front of him?
In the past few months, I have been dreaming frequently about the god that was enshrined in the shrine by the Guifang Kingdom...?
But why does she look exactly like Lin Qingyue, and why does she appear so frequently in his dreams?
As if seeing through his inner thoughts, the woman in imperial attire spoke:
"Because we were destined to meet in our previous lives, I have been waiting for you. You are finally here..."
She walked up to Dongfang Qi and extended her hand condescendingly: "Come, follow me, I will take you to the divine realm..."
Dongfang Qi's thoughts gradually became confused. The person before him and the empress he had been thinking about day and night in his dreams overlapped...
He stretched out his hand blankly, wanting to grasp the illusory love in his dream.
But suddenly, many images emerged in his mind:
The child who starved to death while holding a bread outside a restaurant in Long County;
The poor woman in the temple square knelt and kowtowed, offering all her treasures;
And the golden statue of the deity, made of pure gold and as tall as three stories...
Finally, all the images faded away, and the only thing left in his mind was the image of Lin Qingyue holding a red umbrella and walking in the turbid world.
At that moment, his chaos disappeared and his consciousness became clear again.
Dongfang Qi stretched out his hand, and suddenly a dagger condensed into it, and he stabbed the man without hesitation.
The woman in front of him disappeared like smoke, leaving only the cold voice lingering in his ears:
"You can actually see through my illusions. You are definitely not an ordinary person."
"You are nothing but a devil in god's guise. You are not worthy to be compared with her!"
Dongfang Qi was indeed almost deceived just now. Now thinking about it, it was probably that some means had been used to spy on his memory, so they created illusions one after another to confuse him.
It was a close call, I almost got caught.
"Hmm... What a pity! You have such a beautiful body that you should have willingly offered to me. But you were able to see through it. I underestimated your ability... Wait, you're a man!"
"Those idiots actually let a man like you sneak into the bride's team?"
"You've only just realized this now? You, this so-called God, are nothing more than this!"
"It's a pity that such a beautiful skin cannot be used by me. Well, then I will eat you and let your cultivation and body become my nourishment!"
