A feeling of immense relief lingered in Yu Die's heart. She attributed it to the effect of the chip inside her body. After feeling relieved, she looked at Yi Mu with much more confidence.
"I'm not the same person I used to be, and I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
Yi Mu sheathed his longsword, stepped forward, and stopped steadily in mid-air, asking in a soft voice, "Is that so?"
But your legs are shaking, you must be terrified.
Yu Die didn't dare to look down. Just a few hours ago, she had considered herself a god, but now she didn't even have the courage to lower her head.
"What do you want to do!" Yu Die's voice was full of bluster.
Yi Mu made a gesture, and Yu Die felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck as the chip was removed.
In front of Yu Die, the chip was shattered by an invisible force.
When Yu Die looked at Yi Mu again, it was no longer just fear and panic.
She had a vague feeling that Yi Mu was probably not the same species as her.
It was dark, and the streets were quiet. Smog covered most of the night sky, and apart from the streetlights, not a single ray of natural light could be seen.
Yi Mu bent down, looking closely at the panic on Yu Die's face, like a lover's whisper, and asked, "Do you know what's above the clouds?"
Yu Die shook her head as if she had lost her mind.
Yi Mu straightened up and raised his hand.
Yu Die's body rose, and rose again.
A woman's scream came from high above, then slowly faded away until she was nowhere to be seen.
Above the clouds is the atmosphere, and beyond the atmosphere is space.
Even if she didn't suffocate in the oxygen-deprived space, the pressure from space would still cause her blood vessels to rupture and die.
Slow torture is always more painful than a quick death.
Yi Mu returned to Xiang Qing's side, while the old man was trying to persuade the old woman to leave.
"He's not someone to mess with. If he's in a bad mood and kills you, what am I going to do for the rest of my life?"
The old lady refused to leave; she had already promised Lord Tianhu and couldn't go back on her word.
Just then, Yi Mu returned and overheard their conversation.
He remained calm and did not blame the old man.
He lifted Xiang Qing's body from the ground, walked to the old woman, and looked at her deeply.
"Your grandson has had a lot of hardships in his life. Although he is pitiful, he should not be spoiled. Your daughter-in-law is kind-hearted. Sometimes she may throw a little tantrum, but she doesn't hold grudges. With harmony in the family, everything will prosper in this life."
The old lady realized he was offering blessings and repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, Lord Celestial Fox! I will dedicate the rest of my life to establishing an incense altar and offering my sincere worship."
Yi Mu nodded to her, turned around and took a few steps before disappearing.
The main priest.
The main god and Jiaxing stood under the vast starry sky, watching the two disappear, their expressions solemn.
In the apocalyptic world, facing a life-or-death crisis, Qingyao chose death, leaving the chance of life to Yimu.
He failed in this attempt.
The Azure Dragon did not reveal its true form, but the other one did reveal some clues.
Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, there was a highly respected celestial fox in Qingqiu named Tushan Mu.
Compared to the younger generation whose fame spread throughout the three realms, that one, though not often appearing before the gods, could only be described as having unparalleled beauty and elegance.
Jiaxing worried for the chief god, "Now that the Azure Dragon is protected by the Heavenly Fox, it will be even more difficult for it to succeed."
The Supreme God said in a deep voice, "There are still two tribulations left, what are you afraid of? Prepare well for the next world, and there can be no more mishaps!"
Jiaxing bowed respectfully, "Yes."
He turned and left, while the Supreme God stood still, gazing up at the ever-changing stars, his calm face gradually twisting and deforming.
You gods, weren't you once all-powerful, able to summon wind and rain? I'll make you experience the pain of separation and death.
