Lan Zhi humbly asked for advice, "Where do you think I should hide? How can I escape the evil god's attention?"
Shangguan Jianxing said, "Come home with me and you'll be safe. I have several powerful ancestors in my family who can definitely protect us. I've said before that the [gods] on this continent are all [false gods]. False gods possess a certain degree of divinity, making them immortal and indestructible. Even if killed, they will gradually resurrect over time. But they are not invincible. They have weaknesses and can be killed. True gods should be above all practitioners, and this continent cannot support true gods. For example, if this continent is a piece of paper, we are all tiny ants living on it, and the true god is a... tiger. My analogy may not be appropriate, but you can get the general idea. If a tiger extends a paw and presses it on the white paper, it will instantly crush countless ants. Moreover, the tiger is too big, and its limbs cannot completely stand on the white paper, and its sharp claws will tear the paper..."
"So, theoretically speaking, there are no [True Gods] in the world. [True Gods] all live in another world outside the continent. All [False Gods] will tear through the void after transforming into [True Gods]. Of course, the information I'm telling you is what I heard from others, so it may not be correct. Just listen to it."
Lan Zhi said, "I have no relationship with you, so it's not convenient for me to go to your house. Your ancestors have no obligation to protect me, so forget it... Are you going back?"
Shangguan Jianxing thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going back. I said I wanted to go back because I was afraid that when the spirits came looking for me, I would implicate you. But now that you have a deeper connection with the spirits, I guess the spirits will come looking for you first. There's no question of who will implicate whom. Anyway, neither of us can escape."
Lan Zhi said, "You were noticed by the gods because of my brother. It's neither moral nor logical for me to ignore you..."
At this point, Lan Zhi belatedly realized that she had been chatting with Shangguan Jianxing for so long that she had almost forgotten her eldest brother Lan Tiao. According to Shangguan Jianxing, Lan Tiao had probably become a believer in the gods...
"How can we get rid of the bewitching power of the gods and restore the believers to normal?" Lan Zhi asked.
"Only gods can fight against gods. If you are targeted by an evil god, you need to find a good god and seek his protection, so that you can avoid disaster." Shangguan Jianxing said.
"So how can we find the good gods? Or...how can we tell the difference between gods and ordinary people?"
Shangguan Jianxing said, "I'm not sure about that either. Some gods look just like ordinary cultivators. Only when they reveal their divine nature can we discern their true identity."
After a pause, he added, "My family only knows one good god, the child I just told you about who looks only three or four years old... If you want to save your brother, you still have to go to my house."
Lan Zhi said, "But I'm getting married soon and don't have time to go out." Of course, the most important thing is that she is pregnant and it is not suitable for her to go so far. Or... after getting married, can everyone go to Huocheng together to find the eldest brother?
Shangguan Jianxing didn't say anything, but brilliant and luxurious golden runes appeared in his eyes again. Lan Zhi didn't know what he was calculating, and she didn't want to disturb him, so she didn't say anything.
After a while, the runes in Shangguan Jianxing's eyes disappeared. He said, "I just used astrology to observe your brother's future without involving the gods, and found that his life is not in danger at all. Moreover... astrology shows that he can solve his current difficulties by himself, and may even meet a noble person to help him rise to the top..."
"I don't expect Big Brother to rise to the top, as long as he is safe and sound."
Shangguan Jianxing said, "At least you don't have to look for him... Wait, you want to get married? Who?"
Lan Zhi said, "Prince Jing, Jun Weihe, will invite you to the wedding banquet."
Shangguan Jianxing frowned immediately.
"What's wrong?" Lan Zhi asked.
"Nothing." Shangguan Jianxing shook his head. In fact, he felt that Lan Zhi would definitely have a brighter future. It was impossible for her to stay in a small country like Dayui Kingdom all her life. Prince Jing... I heard that he was a leisurely prince who liked elegance and his cultivation level was not that good. How could such a person be worthy of Lan Zhi?
Lan Zhi holds a great secret. She is blessed by Heaven, and Shangguan Jianxing certainly has no undue desires for her. He stays by her side simply because he wants to become stronger. But Lan Zhi is getting married. If the groom were stronger, Shangguan Jianxing could accept it, but he heard that Prince Jing's cultivation is only at the Infant Yuan Realm...
Shangguan Jianxing touched his face and asked, as if possessed by a ghost: "What are your criteria for choosing a partner?"
Lan Zhi replied, "Treat me sincerely, be good-looking, don't betray me, and don't join forces with other women to kill me..."
Shangguan Jianxing was full of questions. Miss Lanzhi's first two sentences sounded normal, but the last sentence was too strange. What did she mean by "you can't join forces with other women to kill me"? It sounded as if she had suffered such harm herself, but she was clearly still an unmarried girl... Moreover, what kind of man is so bastard as to join forces with outsiders to kill his wife?
Shangguan Jianxing pointed at his face and said, "I can treat you sincerely. As for my appearance... it should be okay. I wholeheartedly yearn for the great Dao. After we get married, I promise not to be involved with other women, nor will I hurt you. I will also fulfill my duties as a husband and respect your wishes. You don't have to worry about me betraying you, because you are protected by the secrets of heaven. I want to cultivate and become stronger, and I am destined to be inseparable from you. If one day, the secrets of heaven no longer favor you, I will not abandon you. Because those who possess the Burning Eyes of True Knowledge have the most basic moral bottom line and conscience. The more they peek into the secrets of heaven, the deeper their reverence for the cause and effect of heaven and earth, and they will not do anything to take advantage of others' misfortunes or betray their trust... So, would you consider me?"
Lan Zhi was confused when she heard this. "You want to marry me? But I don't think you like me..."
Shangguan Jianxing didn't answer her, but asked: "Do you like Jun Weihe?"
"Maybe a little bit."
Shangguan Jianxing said, "It seems that you didn't marry him just because you loved him... Will you marry me? I will take you to see more scenery."
Lan Zhi: “…”
Shangguan Jianxing added, "There are many outstanding men in this world. If you meet the man you like in the future, I can divorce you and will not stop you from pursuing happiness."
