The name on the order had been faded for several days. Lu Wuwei had been somewhat absent-minded while delivering food these past few days, and would occasionally take out the order to look at it.
It wasn't until three days later.
"Dead?" The name on the order had disappeared. Lu Wuwei was first stunned, then overjoyed.
"It's good that he's dead!"
Lu Wuwei was practically ready to blow a trumpet in celebration. He had been waiting for Loki to deliver the package for so long!
"But how did he die?" Lu Wuwei wondered. He got on his electric scooter and prepared to ride over to see.
As if sensing something, Zhou Ping, who was walking through the ruins, slowly turned around.
The Dragon Elephant Sword and the White Bone Sword floated beside him, their blades gleaming, clearly having just been stained with blood.
019 was flying beside him. "This Loki is really hard to kill. It took five days and four nights to kill all his clones and find his main body."
"Why did you stop walking?" 019 asked, somewhat puzzled.
Zhou Ping stopped here right at the beginning and didn't continue to move forward.
“An old friend has arrived,” Zhou Ping smiled at 019, then waved towards the end of the road.
A shared yellow delivery bike from Meituan drove up from a distance. It wasn't going fast, but it was very smooth. The rider was wearing a small yellow hat. When he saw Zhou Ping standing not far from the road, he had an expression that said, "I knew it."
The yellow electric scooter quickly pulled up in front of Zhou Ping, and Lu Wuwei greeted Zhou Ping happily.
He glanced at the coffin Zhou Ping was carrying on his back and clicked his tongue in amazement. "Is this your new look?"
Zhou Ping nodded. "If you say so, then so be it."
"How did you end up in Northern Europe?" Lu Wuwei asked, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't we hear that you were on Mount Olympus?"
Zhou Ping shook his head. "I've been shrouded in mist the whole time, unable to communicate with the outside world. Mount Olympus is now a ruin."
"You did this?" Lu Wuwei gasped, quickly got out of the car and went to check on Zhou Ping for a while. Only after finding no wounds on him did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Upon getting closer and sensing Zhou Ping's aura, Lu Wuwei's expression changed drastically; his face turned red with excitement.
"What realm are you at now? You look much stronger than those Outer Gods we fought before?" Lu Wuwei calculated the time. "You've only been gone for less than two years, haven't you?"
"Hmm, I didn't expect you to come here," Zhou Ping replied. In the blink of an eye, Shang Yan had been in a coma for at least two years.
Zhou Ping looked at the necklace around his neck and said in a relaxed tone, "But it's good that you came. I'm leaving now."
Lu Wuwei was confused. "Where to?"
“Let’s go to the temple in Asgard first, and then leave here…” Zhou Ping glanced at the necklace around his neck, where the last bit of green was almost gone.
"I can feel that I'm about to reach a higher level."
Lu Wuwei clapped his hands. "That's a good thing. But why are you suddenly leaving?"
“He… is about to collapse.” Zhou Ping said, his expression somewhat dazed. “I will only use the Soul Summoning Bell once. If it fails, I will go to find him.”
Lu Wuwei also knew something about Shang Yan's affairs; the story of him and Zhou Ping had already spread among the Night Watchmen.
"The Heavenly Court of Great Xia is now completed," Lu Wuwei brought Zhou Ping the news. "Your students are also doing well, so you can leave in peace."
In addition, the Egyptian divine kingdom of Sun City and the Greek divine kingdom of Olympus have been destroyed, and both places have become ruins. Now the number of divine kingdoms that pose a threat to Great Xia has been greatly reduced, and Great Xia has the strength to deal with the remaining ones.
Hearing this, Zhou Ping smiled faintly and said, "That's good."
After humming in agreement, Lu Wuwei added, "Why don't you go back to Great Xia? Our Heavenly Court is already built, and the Great Xia Divine Society will find a way to help..."
Zhou Ping's smile was somewhat forced. "His soul is no longer in this realm... The Great Emperor of Fengdu said before that we can only use the Soul Summoning Bell to snatch him back from the other side..."
I had met Nyx before, and she noticed something amiss, saying that Shangyan was undergoing a regeneration of his divine nature and could not summon his soul unless absolutely necessary.
I've thought about this for a long time, and I've been planning to go find him for a while now.
Now that the Great Heavenly Court has been rebuilt, and most of the external gods shrouded in mist have been cleared away... it's time for me to leave."
After saying these words, Zhou Ping looked at Lu Wuwei, who had a worried expression, and said, "Your arrival is just in time. I was about to leave, and I have some things I'd like to ask you."
Seeing that he was determined to leave, Lu Wuwei said nothing more.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Lu Wuwei reached out and patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder.
“I don’t know when I’ll be back after I leave,” Zhou Ping took a deep breath. “If my third uncle and the others ask about me and Shangyan… just tell them that we’ve gone on a long trip. It won’t be long before I bring Shangyan home.”
Lu Wuwei showed a knowing expression and nodded in response, "Okay, I'll pass on the message to you."
After responding, Lu Wuwei asked again, "Is there anything else?"
"That's all. Before I leave, I'll take care of one last thing." Zhou Ping shook his head slightly and flew towards the temple not far away.
Seeing him fly towards the temple in Asgard, Lu Wuwei stood next to the yellow bicycle, blinked, and muttered to himself, "Is he... going to fight?"
Zhou Ping, who had leaped into the air, waved to Lu Wuwei and said, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye, old friend," Lu Wuwei waved to him, and watched Zhou Ping's back until he disappeared from the yellow bike. Then, Lu Wuwei took out his food delivery order.
"Since the old user (Loki) is dead, let's expand to new users, shall we?" Lu Wuwei stroked his chin and got back on his yellow bike.
Beep beep beep—
He had just gotten into the car and hadn't even driven two hundred meters when the ground shook violently!
boom--
Boom boom boom!
bite--
A huge explosion mixed with the sound of swords clashing came from afar. Lu Wuwei, who was riding an electric bike, stopped abruptly and looked back in shock towards the direction of the temple.
A deep sword mark was carved into the magnificent, sacred temple.
The Law of the Sword clashed with numerous other laws, and divine power descended upon the entire world.
"We've only been gone a short while, and they've already started fighting?" Lu Wuwei covered his ears with his hands, trying to block out the incessant buzzing of explosions.
His eyesight was excellent; from here he looked up at the temple high in the sky not far away.
A black figure weaved and collided among the many figures, and a storm of sword energy spread outwards from the temple as its center.
The moment Lu Wuwei saw the storm, his eyes widened.
He then quickly got into the car and sped off, leaving everyone else in the dust.
