…
From the time the Old Ones appeared to the time they were eliminated, it took only about a minute.
But the pool of black water burned for three days before it dissipated.
But compared to the tragic scene when dealing with the Old Ones last time, this time was already very easy.
But Shi Wuqing found it difficult to relax.
First, Chi Jiu's power is really weird.
Second, the news that Si said: "The King" has come to this world.
The King... The King of the Old Ones? What a terrifying creature he must be!
"Ajiu, it's time for you to cease fire with other areas." The top priority is to concentrate our strength, stay vigilant, and be ready to fight at any time.
But Chi Jiu said, "That was just a pretext. I predicted a great disaster would happen here, so I used the pretext of war to lure people away."
Saying it directly and asking people to seek shelter would cause greater panic, and the emotion of "panic" is a very scary thing nowadays.
Weirdness brings fear, and fear breeds more weirdness. This has long been an unsolvable cycle.
Hearing this, Shi Wuqing felt even more depressed. "Prediction" was not a power that the Golden Crow should have.
"Jiu, tell me the truth, what did you do?" She pressed on.
But Chi Jiu was not nervous. He had said everything he needed to be honest about that night. Now, when facing Shi Wuqing, he was very relaxed and natural, and even his tone was much more arrogant.
"I won't tell you." Chi Jiu crossed his arms and looked at Shi Wuqing with a smile: "Ah Qing, don't waste your time. Strength is not your forte. No matter how you try, you can't be as strong as me."
Shi Wuqing looked at his current attitude, and for some reason, a word came to mind: arrogant because of being favored.
It's like a stray kitten. After confirming its position in the heart of its owner, it starts to make trouble at home without any worries. Then, with an expression that says "I won't change even if you scold me", it looks at its owner in frustration.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chi Jiu said casually, "I'm here anyway. I'll fight any Old Ones that come my way! When the king comes, I'll kill their leader too!"
After he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly softened: "A Qing, you don't have to do anything, you can get what you want."
Shi Wuqing: "I want you and Yuexu to be safe and sound forever."
“…” Chi Jiu was stunned.
"I'm not the same person I used to be, Jiu, I hope you know that." Shi Wuqing said seriously, with undisguised concern in his eyes.
Chi Jiu's lips moved, and then he suddenly turned his face away in embarrassment and whispered, "I know."
I like Aqing now... so much.
…
At this moment, in the Xingyu territory.
"Will Lord Xingyu come back?"
"Please stop lying to us! We need the truth!"
“Why is it the messenger of God in the field of management?”
"Why does Chao Xi take away your position?"
Ever since Chao Xi came back with Shi Wuqing's orders and took charge of the domain, the domain has become much calmer. However, this calm is the calm before the storm. What people need is not a manager, but faith.
They want to know that the gods they believe in are still there; they long for the gods' attention.
They also really want to fight for the gods.
Among the three gods, only Xingyu's followers want to protect her rather than seek her protection.
Once the object they want to protect is gone, people will lose most of their will to survive.
They no longer want to recall how they spent the past days. They just want to know, is there still a future?
Will Xingyu, their god, come back?
Under such strong beliefs and the pressure of crisis, peace was getting closer to collapse day by day, and the believers finally rushed to the temple, hoping to get a result.
They were not hysterical, angry or radical, but all looked quietly at the four gods' messengers above.
Their gazes were calm, almost dead silent, and when they spoke, they were very orderly, waiting for others to finish speaking before following suit one by one.
But it is precisely this kind of peace, as if one can calmly accept any outcome, that makes the atmosphere seem extremely depressed and depressing.
Chaotide stood on the stairs, with the other gods' messengers behind her.
The beautiful mermaid's voice is filled with a unique charm that makes people believe that what she said is an established fact: "God is always with us. Everything I do is God's command."
"We want to see Him," someone said.
"The time has not come yet." Chao Xi turned around. The huge temple stood there, making them look very small in front of the temple.
"When will the time come?" People still did not give up, and their questions became more urgent.
Chao Xi said, "It will be soon. He is dealing with the issue of division. It won't be long before He returns."
The crowd quieted down and no one asked any more questions, but they didn't leave either.
People looked at each other, and then all knelt down in front of the temple.
"What are you going to do?" The demon Erji, who was standing at the back, glanced around with contempt and said in a mocking tone.
"We are waiting here for Master Xingyu to return!"
"If I could see you once before I die, I would have no regrets in my life."
"When Master Xingyu returns, this will be the whole meaning of my life."
"I can hardly live anymore... I hope my last bit of faith can also be given to Master Xingyu."
"I will not die in front of the temple and humiliate you. When I can't hold on any longer, I will leave."
“…”
The believers continued to speak one after another as before. No one interrupted and no one remained silent. They spoke from the first one to the last one.
Erji raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to make a move, but the elf Ange spoke before him: "The Lord will hear your voices."
As he said this, he glared at Eji coldly.
Eji laughed strangely.
The angel beside him looked up at the sky, his mind full of mixed thoughts, but one thought was the strongest:
When Xingyu returns, I will definitely die for Him.
Absolutely, absolutely, we will not let the past happen again.
Only those angels who die before the gods are worthy of the title of "judgment".
