Chang Le opened her mouth slightly: "...Huh? Whose? Ying Shaochuan? The Shadow of Calamity? Or Hades, a combination of the two?"
The cuckoo's surging resentment dissipated considerably due to her bewildered expression. He thought seriously for a moment and replied, "It should be a combination of two."
He grinned: "You'll have to ask my bold mother for the specific answer."
Where's your mom?
"Dead."
"oh."
"..."
Chang Le frowned slightly: "Continue."
The cuckoo's cry helps to adjust one's mood, and the whole story will be explained simply.
A rather melodramatic story.
A woman falls in love with the dangerous and mysterious Hades, runs away pregnant and gives birth to a son. Hades senses the bloodline and seeks out the child, but does not want it.
The woman was infatuated with Hades, but she couldn't bear to part with her own flesh and blood. She told him that the child had inherited her special ability—[softening]—and was the perfect test subject for him.
【Softening】A special ability that softens all negative effects, including pain, rejection, and mutation.
Hearing this, Chang Le suddenly remarked during one of his breaths, "Your body is also very suitable for Luo Xuan to possess."
The cuckoo, immersed in the pain of being unloved by its parents, choked up.
“I’m sorry,” Chang Le apologized to him, “you can continue, Luo Xuan doesn’t need it now.”
The cuckoo cries: ...
Now?
Why do you insist on emphasizing "now"? What, do you need to kill me later?
He shook his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts and finished telling the story.
He actually became Hades's test subject, underwent the fusion experiment, and became one of the few who could be considered successful, possessing other superpowers besides [Softening]—a combination of Rikuo's [Formless] and the alien [Thousand Faces].
Here, the cry of the cuckoo also resolved a question that Chang Le had been pondering.
"Pluto once mentioned to his mother that his primordial energy has a certain suppressive ability on any creature with the same energy. After he came to this world, he discovered that his abilities were naturally able to suppress these alien species, which he could use to achieve the purpose of control."
Chang Le understood. This must be one of the characteristics of the [Dawn Veil]—suppressing all beings of the same energy type in order to freeze the world as much as possible. This explained why Hades could almost control the anomalies of the Ancient Ruins.
Let's get back to the story.
After the implantation, Ziguiti only experienced mild mental confusion as a side effect, which was considered a success. Hades decided to conduct further experiments, but his body collapsed due to the unbearable strain. His body broke down, his heart stopped beating, and Hades, deeming him useless, discarded his "corpse."
Until this point, the person named Ziguiti did not exist in this world.
Unexpectedly, by divine intervention, an old Taoist priest on the mountain took him in, restored his life, and taught him the basics that a human being should know.
Unfortunately, due to his bloodline connection, he was still found by Hades, marked, and turned into a pawn of the god-making faction.
After the old Taoist priest died, the hatred intensified. Ziguiti set his sights on the Dragon Faction, which was at odds with the God-Making Faction. Under the pretense of being an undercover agent, he found an opportunity to get close to the Dragon Emperor Fuguang, hoping to cooperate with him to kill the King of the Underworld.
He couldn't directly state his purpose, but Fu Guang roughly guessed that he wanted to keep him by his side and value his abilities, entrusting him with important tasks. However, what Chang Le didn't know was that after meeting Chang Le, Fu Guang was not at ease leaving him by Chang Le's side, so he infused a drop of dragon blood into Chang Le's body.
This is not a tonic, but blood containing warnings and the shackles of law, plus an oath. As long as he harbors murderous intent towards Chang Le, he will still die.
Chang Le was unaware of this, nor did Zi Gui Ti mention it.
He smiled nonchalantly: "The name 'Zigui Ti' was taken from a poem that my master casually recited. I liked it, so I didn't change it."
“Now, after a lifetime of planning, I have done what I wanted to do, and I can die now.” Zigui even laughed.
Chang Le nodded: "Okay, take care..."
"Chang Le!" Luo Xuan's voice suddenly interrupted, "Are you two finished talking?"
The tentacles that had rushed out to reap the harvest wilted, and Chang Le walked to the door and opened it: "Finished talking? What's up?"
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "I still have some things to confirm with him. Can I spare his life for now?"
Chang Le said directly, "He can just give it to you. By the way, his body is also suitable for you."
"Okay, I understand. Leave the rest to me."
Chang Le nodded and left.
The cuckoo, who was determined to die, paused for a moment and looked at Luo Xuan in confusion: "I betrayed Chang Le, and you're not killing me?"
Luo Xuan's gaze was icy cold, even more so than when looking at a dead man.
If we were to say who Zigui Ti fears most, it wouldn't be the Dragon Emperor Fu Guang, nor the unpredictable Chang Le, but rather this refined and composed steward, Luo Xuan.
Whether it's Fu Guang or Chang Le, their greatness mainly stems from their excessively powerful abilities. But they are not difficult to understand; one can see different facets in them.
But Luo Xuan is different.
He seems to have no clear-cut side, yet he is thorough in every aspect.
Zigui couldn't figure out Luo Xuan's original intention in following the evil god, the reason why he cared so much for Chang Le, the reason why he was willing to follow Fu Guang to the death without complaint, or the purpose of his willingness to continue protecting Chang Le and the Dragon Sect.
He seems to have no purpose, but how could he have remained steadfast and persistent for three hundred years without any purpose?
He seems to lack any strong human emotions, yet he has guarded the girl left behind by the evil god for three hundred years. His persistence and feelings are no less than those of Shen Fuguang, but they are not ambiguous.
