The Pope's hair turned white with worry when facing his cold, aloof and noble envoy of God.
That day, the demons really just came to pick up one person and left. When the Pope saw Du Ze looking at the demons and asking them to pack him up and take him away, he immediately knocked Du Ze unconscious and took the messenger back to the Temple of Light. I don't know if it was because of this, but the messenger had a cold face all day long since he woke up and didn't talk to anyone. In this situation, it was almost impossible to please the messenger. The Pope had been trying to find out the messenger's preferences in the past few days, but he failed without exception.
If Du Ze knew the Pope's current situation, he would definitely suggest that the Pope @ my boss is the best.
Du Ze now wanders around the Temple of Light with an expressionless face all day long. A certain foolish man said that this was to explore the route for the Lord's counterattack on the Temple of Light in the future. In the endless praises of the people in the Temple of Light, Du Ze had a hard time removing the mighty and domineering aura of the God of Light, the mighty and domineering aura of the Lord of God, and the mighty and domineering aura of the hair ball on the Lord of God's head that they had to mention in every sentence, and thus got a message: the God of Light doesn't know when he will favor you, so you should stay in the Temple of Light and wait for the turn of the card. If you have any instructions, I am here.
…Should I reply with a thank you for your grace?
After many failed attempts to escape, Du Ze began to wonder why the God of Light wanted to find him. The poor reader felt that he had become the mascot NPC of the Temple of Light. A bunch of people came to him with different gifts to improve his favorability, and some even tried to please the fat chick on his head with feed - what do you expect to drop here, stupid human beings, my moral integrity has long been lost! That fat chick will only lose its fur but not its moral integrity!
Due to some stupid social barriers, no one dared to disturb this cold and noble God's messenger after a few days. Du Ze counted on his fingers and found that this was the fifth day since he and the cute master separated. Xiu had used two form changes before and would be in a coma for about ten days. Judging from the situation that day, the one who took Xiu away should be the Thunder Legion, which was loyal to the demon god Baal in "Mixed Blood". The leader seemed to be called Rachel. The agent of the Thunder Legion was Baal's diehard fan, because Xiu was Baal's descendant, so in the original text, Rachel led the Thunder Legion to become Xiu's followers, and then they began to prepare to attack the Sky City.
Even though the time is wrong, the trajectory is surprisingly similar.
Du Ze was a little dazed. Has the plot progressed to this point? Unconsciously, he had already gone through most of the plot of "Mixed Blood". Du Ze suddenly realized that he actually had no advantage in knowing the plot. Now as long as Xiu wakes up, he can get Rachel's recognition and become the king of the demons. In this way, he naturally doesn't have to go to the other side of the mainland to attack the 72 main cities one by one. Therefore, the only thing left is the plot of the Sky City. However, Xiu in "Mixed Blood" attacked the Sky City in order to save Ariel, but Xiu now has no reason or need to attack the Sky City.
—I know a lot, you can use me.
Du Ze stopped and a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
So he is no longer useful to the Lord?
“…Lord God’s Messenger!”
A voice interrupted Du Ze's thoughts. Du Ze looked up and found that two temple knights were holding a priest and walking here. When they saw Du Ze, the two temple knights bowed respectfully, and the priest who was held called out regardless of everything. He looked at Du Ze as if he was looking at the last straw.
"Please judge me, I am innocent...!"
One of the temple knights hit the priest in the stomach. The priest held his stomach in pain and could not say anything. Another temple knight said respectfully to Du Ze: "Sorry to bother you. We are sending the sinner to the Sinners' Court."
The Sinners' Court was where the Temple of Light used to deal with prisoners. Once you entered that place, you could never leave alive. None of the bodies transported out of the Sinners' Court were intact. Although the priest looked a little cowardly, he looked very honest and simple. Du Ze didn't know what he had done wrong to be sent to the Sinners' Court. He just stared at the scar on the priest's face that almost cut across the entire bridge of his nose, and his heart beat faster and faster.
He knew that there was a man who was one of Xiu's good friends. That man rescued Xiu from the mercenaries and sold him to the Temple of Light, and then had his nose cut off by a black-robed skeleton.
Seeing that Du Ze was staring at the priest, the temple knight began to explain: "This man committed the crime of theft."
The priest gasped in pain, and after hearing this, he still tried hard to defend himself: "I... didn't... this is slander. I have no reason to take the Saint's things."
The temple knight said disdainfully: "Everyone knows that your family is poor."
The priest seemed to be a little incredulous and asked back: "Just because my family is poor... does that mean I will definitely steal things?"
——So if you become a ghost, you must be evil?
Du Ze stared at the priest's scarred face, his voice so dry that it didn't sound like his own.
"…What's your name?"
The two temple knights were stunned, because according to rumors, the envoy of God was indifferent to everything and never spoke. But now the envoy of God actually spoke, and asked the name of the person they took away. The priest's eyes lit up instantly, and he knelt in front of Du Ze with great effort, and his voice was a little excited.
"Daniel. Lord God's Messenger, my name is Daniel." Daniel's eyes were full of pleading: "Lord God's Messenger... please believe that I definitely didn't steal it."
Du Ze's blood ran cold. It was Daniel, the one who made him never trust anyone again.
As if he had misunderstood Du Ze's intention to save Daniel, the temple knight hurriedly said, "Lord Messenger of God, you don't know that this person is not allowed to enter the temple. The reason he is here is because he once shamelessly made a request to the Saint."
Another temple knight added: "Yes, in order to enter the temple, this man once betrayed his companions-"
"I didn't!" Daniel interrupted the Temple Knight and tried to explain to Du Ze: "That's not my companion, he is evil, I came to the Saint Lady to eliminate evil!"
...So this is why you saved Xiu and then betrayed him? Just to gain a position in the Temple of Light?
Daniel looked up at Du Ze hopefully. He saw the black-haired young man leaned down slightly and whispered in his ear: "Daniel, I'm sorry, it's best for you to go to the prison."
——Xiu, I’m sorry, it would be best if you died.
When the temple knights dragged Daniel away with a look of disbelief on his face, Du Ze felt very upset.
Giving hope and then giving despair, this is the most cruel thing in the world.
Kelly betrayed Xiu, Lolo and Edie gave up Xiu, and Daniel betrayed Xiu. Whether out of arrogance, jealousy, or greed, they wiped out Xiu's nature bit by bit.
No matter how much he fights for justice, the Xiu who would take risks for strangers with a smile will never come back.
On the eighth day, the God of Light finally turned over a stupid and cute card. Du Ze looked expressionlessly at the two winged birds opposite him... Ahem, the Celestial Tribe, one female and one male, both of whom were "acquaintances". The male was the one he saw in the Lost Land, and the female was the girl who fell in love and killed the cute master in "Mixed Blood" and was eventually forced by the cute master to make a blood contract - Lilia.
"God's messenger, please follow us to the Sky City. The God of Light wants to see you."
Du Ze instantly understood why the cultivator in the original text particularly liked to bully Lilia. This arrogant attitude really made people want to bully her until she cried. Although they both belonged to the Holy System, Vivian was more approachable, soft on the outside but tough on the inside; while Lilia was too arrogant, too rigid both inside and out, with an attitude that the God of Light looked up to her.
Seeing Du Ze's cold face expressing his refusal, Lilia frowned and crushed a crystal charm without saying a word. Before Du Ze could react, he was teleported. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in an unusually bright world.
Du Ze stood on the wall city. There was no land under the high wall city, only layers of white clouds - the entire sky was right under his feet. This was a floating city.
——There is a city above the sky.
This is a widely circulated legend in the Chaos Continent. All living beings know that there is such a city in the sky, but no one knows where it is.
Du Ze suddenly felt tired. Now Xiu wanted to find him. Was he going to attack the Sky Castle? Wait, what was going on with this feeling of truth? Drama God, you are being naughty again!
The main color of the Sky City is white. Maybe it's because it's above the white clouds, but the light here is sufficient and even a little dazzling. Du Ze was held by two Celestials and came to a white temple. Lilia bowed respectfully to the temple.
"My God, I have brought the person you requested."
The temple was silent for a moment, and then the huge door slowly opened, revealing a path that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Wait, this is unscientific, you bastard. My equipment is not upgraded and I haven't trained myself. My cute pet is just a ball of fur, and you let me go to meet the final boss! ?
A certain silly boy was madly stuffed into the temple. At the moment he was pushed into the temple, Du Ze remembered for some reason that today seemed to be the last day of the appointment.
The door closed behind Du Ze, and the temple darkened for a moment and then immediately became bright. A human figure made of light stood in front of Du Ze. He had no specific appearance, only two black hole-like eyes and a mouth, glowing quietly in the dim temple.
Is this the God of Light, the boss in "Half-Blood"?
"Jiubi!"
The little phoenix seemed to feel a strong crisis and its fur exploded. It flapped its wings and tried to block Du Ze with its round body. However, Guangren just glanced at the little phoenix, and the fur ball shook and fell directly from the air. Du Ze quickly reached out to catch the little phoenix and check on its condition.
"I just made it lose consciousness." The light man opened his vaguely outlined mouth, and the ethereal voice echoed in the empty temple with an indescribable majesty.
Du Ze stared at Guangren warily. "Are you, the God of Light?"
The light man nodded vaguely: "I am in the divine realm. What you see is my projection. Because the Chaos Continent cannot withstand the pressure of the higher gods, I can only send believers to find you. They missed you twice."
Twice? Once in the dwarven ruins, and once in...?
Du Ze thought of the male Celestial just now, and he finally remembered that a long time ago, he and Xiu met the dwarfs and Celestials in the light column of the Lost Land. They said they were looking for a person with black eyes and black hair. It turned out that it was not Xiu, but him?
"I have been waiting for you." The God of Light said, "You are the chosen one."
Even though Guangren's face was blurred, Du Ze could still see that he had an expression that looked like he was trying to deceive people.
Do you think I am the kind of funny warrior who would fight for God with his life as long as God says "I believe in you"?
"You've got the wrong guy."
The light man stood opposite Du Ze, his two dark eyes seemed to absorb all the light.
"No," he said, "You are special in this world."
Du Ze's heart was beating fast, his brain was rumbling, and he asked almost instinctively: "You know..." I am not from this world?
The invisible existence swallowed up the second half of Du Ze's words, but the God of Light nodded gently as if he had expected what Du Ze would say. Even though he had a vague guess before, when he learned that the God of Light really knew his identity, Du Ze was still confused. He stared at the light man opposite him, and had many questions to ask, but in the end, he said: "Will I go back?"
The God of Light observed Du Ze's expression, but there was no expression on the black-haired young man's face, so he asked: "Do you want to go back?"
Du Ze was silent for a moment, then asked, "How can I go back?"
The God of Light smiled with satisfaction. He finally found what this man wanted.
"You must destroy evil - you know who it is. As long as you kill evil, you can go back." A point of light separated from the body of the light man and stopped in front of Du Ze. The voice of the God of Light was almost tempting: "Accept this power, it can help you realize your wish."
“…”
The God of Light stared at Du Ze's pale face and emphasized word by word: "If you don't kill him, you will never be able to go back."
"...That's fine."
The God of Light was stunned. He couldn't describe Du Ze's expression. It was a mixture of relaxation, pain, determination, and an unfathomable tenderness.
"I can go on with him."
The God of Light's voice was filled with disbelief: "Don't you want to go back?"
On the other side of the world, there are relatives.
Du Ze pressed his earphones: "Yes."
Before the God of Light could be happy, he saw the black-haired young man opposite him lower his eyes. "But..."
On this side of the world, there is Xiu.
Du Ze's voice was soft, but resolute.
"Even if I stay here forever, I won't kill him."
He liked Xiu. He liked it from the moment he opened "Half-Blood".
