Chapter 814 The Return of the Gods 98
Qiu Tang bumped Lan Xiu's arm and gossiped quietly:
"Why do I feel like there's something weird going on between these two?"
He thought he spoke quietly, but in the empty cave, everyone was a big shot, not to mention old monsters like Quan Jiu and Lord Ling, so most people present could hear what he said clearly.
Lan Xiu ruthlessly pushed his head away:
"If you spend the time you spend on gossip on cultivation, you won't be surpassed by Aye in cultivation."
"Fuck, can we still be friends?"
After being hurt, Qiutang decisively chose to shut up.
He Qingsui was not interested in gossip, he just wanted to take his master away safely:
"The seal left by the fallen gods has long been broken. It was this Buddha statue that single-handedly suppressed the ancient evil demon deep within the Scar of the Sky."
After saying this, Master Ling was once again subjected to a wave of gazes.
In the end, it was Quan Jiu who broke through this hazy and awkward relationship. She turned around and looked at Lord Ling and said bluntly.
"Is there anything else in the Scar of Sky worth suppressing?"
Lord Ling nodded: "The ancient demon we encountered along the way just now was just a small demon on the outskirts of the Scar of Heaven. The remaining sealing power of the gods can suppress it."
Lan Xiu and the others gasped in shock. With their cultivation, they were considered among the best geniuses in the Sky Continent, but even so, they could not withstand more than two moves from this group of ancient monsters on the periphery... But these were only small monsters on the periphery. They dared not even think about the monsters in the depths of the Scar of Sky.
Lan Xiu said firmly, "We must not let the demons in the deep seal escape."
Otherwise, any demon could destroy the entire Sky Continent.
The look he gave Master Zero was filled with a pleading and urgency that he himself was not aware of.
Tang Lu and He Qingsui thought more about it. They had difficulty dealing with the old monsters in the abyss, but the gentle man in front of them suppressed the monsters in the abyss with his own strength. This strength...
Tang Lu narrowed his eyes. When did such a powerful figure appear beside his master?!
Quan Jiu asked curiously, "How many ancient demons are there in the deepest part?"
Lord Zero: "About three hundred."
Quan Jiu nodded secretly.
This number is not large, but it is not small either. After all, any one of the ancient demons in the depths has the power to destroy the entire continent.
Coupled with the tens of thousands of demons and monsters surrounding them, the cultivators of the Sky Continent could simply surrender without any resistance.
"Will they run out?" Quan Jiu asked.
Master Ling did not give an answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he frowned slightly:
"My strength is dwindling little by little, but one day, they will come out."
When he withdrew from the Sky Continent, he dispersed 80% to 90% of his strength into the golden Buddha statue. As tens of thousands of years passed, the power of the golden body became weaker and weaker.
All he could do was to protect the Sky Continent from invasion before more gods emerged on this continent.
"The speed of spiritual energy recovery is still too slow." Quan Jiu shook his head.
There was her in front, Feng Zui, He Qingsui, and Tang Lu behind. Perhaps in places they couldn't see, there were other people who could ascend to become gods, but compared to the ancient monsters in the depths of Tianzhihen, their number was still too small.
After discussing for a while, everyone decided to take a break. Ever since Quan Jiu revealed Lord Ling's identity, 001 has been a little depressed.
While everyone was resting, he quietly retreated back to the tunnel and out of the cave.
When Quan Jiu came over, he saw 001 sitting on a huge rock in a daze.
001 turned around when he heard footsteps and saw it was her, so he looked away:
"Why are you here?"
Quan Jiu sat down next to him: "Unhappy?"
001 pursed his lips in silence for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"Do you still remember the abandoned temple in the snow?"
"Remember."
That was the first time they saw the unrecognizable statue.
001 lowered his head, his eyes calm: "I just feel it's not worth it for him."
Although he had been suppressing demons alone in the depths for thousands of years, the people believed that the gods had abandoned them and stopped worshipping them, allowing the temples to become increasingly deserted, and some even maliciously carved his face with knives.
He is obviously the one who suffers the most and is most tired.
The most ironic thing is that in the depths of the Scar of Sky where demons are rampant, his golden Buddha statue is the only one that has been completely preserved. In the peaceful world protected by him, where the people live in peace, he has become the only sinner, and his golden statue has been completely destroyed.
Quan Jiu tilted his head and suddenly laughed: "I thought you were angry because he was hiding it from you."
001: "...I'm also angry about this."
But compared to the destroyed Buddha statues, this matter is insignificant.
001 pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "Have you known him for a long time?"
Quan Jiu: "Do you want to ask about him?"
Having his thoughts exposed, 001 simply nodded.
Quan Jiu thought about it seriously and said:
"Strictly speaking, I'm not very familiar with him. When I first met him among the elves, I could sense that his power surpassed mine. He was particularly mysterious and reassuring. I've never seen this kind of... well, all-encompassing power in anyone else."
He has this kind of magic that makes people believe that even if the sky falls, he can keep them safe.
She used to wonder what kind of environment could produce such a person who cared about the world but was lonely and cold. But now she knew. As a being forgotten by the six realms, he had lived as long as the sky and spent an extremely long and silent time alone. The years of eternal life smoothed out his edges.
Quanjiu didn't know how long 001 had known about it:
"He must have lived a long time when he was among the elves. He was always alone. I have never seen him have any relatives or friends."
The relationship between Lord Red Lotus and Lord Zero can only be considered cooperation, it is not yet that stage.
001 suddenly fell silent. In the system, he had seen many hosts crying silently after ending a plane. In their short lives of a few decades, they had relatives, lovers, classmates, and friends in the plane.
He even met a host and asked if he could bring the Shiba Inu he had raised for eighteen years back to the main god space. After receiving a negative answer, he was depressed for several months.
It is difficult to let go of feelings that have lasted for decades, let alone feelings that have lasted for thousands of years. In the dream, Zhan Taiyan did not even have the ability to say goodbye. He could only watch his friends around him leave and die one by one.
Only he and time were left.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to make friends, but he has long known that friends will leave one day sooner or later. By then, he can remember everyone, but no one will remember him.
001 thought about the dreams that came one after another.
If he was the protagonist in the dream, what kind of mentality did Lord Ling have, collecting his body and burying his coffin time and time again, watching him enter reincarnation, watching him forget his past completely, and then reuniting with him again with no memory, carrying his memories alone?
