Chapter 159 Heavenly Fragments
Yan You slept for three whole days.
Chen Yu was extremely scared, fearing that this emperor who had no successor would die prematurely. Although there had never been a record of Emperor Qilin dying prematurely in the history of Zhongzhou for thousands of years, Yan You's trick successfully labeled himself as "sickly" in the eyes of the court officials who followed Yan You.
After all, he had been "sleepwalking", had his "true form of Qilin" separated, and had eaten the "strange poison of East Continent". If it had not been for the protection of Qilin, he would have been reincarnated in the underworld long ago.
Therefore, it was quite normal for Yan You to wake up and see Chen Yu and a group of court officials staring at him eagerly.
One of the ministers even said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you should also consider the issue of succession! Otherwise, what should we do if something similar happens again?"
Yan You, who had just woken up and was being urged to get married, immediately said perfunctorily: "...Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later."
He smoothly changed the subject and asked, "Who handled the government affairs during the days I was asleep..."
"It was handled by the Imperial Master and Divine Doctor Zhang together."
Shen Yu said respectfully.
Yan You had left a secret order before "fishing", that if he was unable to govern the country for a while, he would hand it over to the scholar, Cong Xin, and "Lao Liu" whom he had never met to handle it on his behalf.
Liuwei didn't expect that he would actually sit on the throne of "emperor" for a few days.
But after a few days, he couldn't stand it anymore. He was just a weak and pitiful cult leader who had never been to school. It was too difficult for him to deal with all this, right? So, he happily threw all the affairs to Congxin and the scholar, and then, under the gaze of the director who was "disappointed with the scholar", he took his family to play in the capital of Zhongzhou.
As soon as he received the news from Yan You, he reluctantly entered the palace.
Yan You was lying on the bed, looking at Liu Wei who came in with a look that he couldn't explain.
Although Liuwei's appearance is a bit evil, it does conform to the aesthetic of "everyone".
He couldn't help but sigh: "White hair and heterochromatic eyes, you are so beautiful. I am so jealous of you."
Liuwei chuckled, realizing that Yan You loved this skin very much.
He smiled and stroked his long hair, showing a rare smugness that was appropriate for his age, which made people want to be beaten: "Want to take a closer look?"
"Come here." Yan You did not refuse.
The two studied it for a long time before Yan You said with satisfaction: "This color combination is really cool."
"That's right." Liuwei was quite proud. When he was just born, he was regarded as evil, and then he received all kinds of weird looks. It was true that the weird world was full of tasteless things. It turned out that only people of the same family could understand each other.
Yan You waved to the palace servant beside him and said, "Bring the things here."
The palace servant nodded in agreement and presented a tray from the inner room. The tray was covered with a brown sheepskin cloth, and something was protruding from inside. Yan You took the tray, ordered all the palace servants in the hall to leave, and then solemnly placed it in front of Liu Wei.
What is that? Liuwei is very clear.
He paused, held his breath, and uncovered it, only to see...
——There was another piece of sheepskin cloth inside.
"...You old bastard!"
Yan You raised his eyebrows: "Good things should be well protected, right?"
Veins popped out of Liuwei's forehead, and he no longer had any sense of ritual, so he roughly peeled off the remaining cloth.
In the very center of the tray was a miniature glass staircase model that had been glued together, with about five layers. It was colorful and beautiful, making it an unforgettable sight. However, the only flaw was... there was a piece missing from the center.
Liuwei picked up the Tianjie, and as soon as he started, he felt a kind of vigorous activity!
That feeling made Liuwei feel as if the Heavenly Stage was a seed that almost wanted to melt into his skin and body, grow out, and reconnect the heaven and earth!
“… Come back to your senses.”
Liuwei's hands were empty. He looked up blankly, only to see Yan You skillfully taking the Tianjie from his hands through the sheepskin cloth and putting it back on the tray.
Liuwei suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if a part of his life was missing at that moment. He even had an urge to take back the Heavenly Stage.
"I collected these fragments from all over the world. Every piece seemed to be hidden in a corner. I was able to find them all thanks to the Qilin Secret Technique." Yan You sighed. He would occasionally miss Qilin and feel sorry for Qilin's distortion, but if the situation could happen again, he would do it again without hesitation. After all, a dead Qilin is considered a good Qilin.
"Fortunately, it wasn't broken into too many pieces, otherwise we might not be able to collect them all even after spending hundreds of years," Yan You paused, "However, when I was searching, I found that these things have the consciousness of aggregation, and they want to reunite."
"I felt that emotion, too," Liu Wei asked, "Is this thing alive?"
Liuwei stroked his chin and told the third brother the history that the fourth brother had experienced. He told him that "the sky" had once come alive, and at that time all things came alive. In the fourth brother's memory, even human organs could live independently. It was an era that made people's hair stand on end, and the pollution of foreign gods filled the entire world almost instantly.
From that horrible world to the weird world that seems to be tolerable now, how did this long period of time and drastic changes evolve? They have no idea.
Tianjie is also a product of that era. Is it still alive?
Yan You got goosebumps. Both sides were silent for a while, and then he suddenly shrugged: "Who knows, but... one thing is certain, the old gods who fell into madness at that time destroyed the heavenly steps at the first time. What the enemy did not allow us to do is exactly what the enemy fears."
"We must give it a try to restore the Heavenly Stage and make the path to becoming a god unobstructed."
Liuwei couldn't help but nodded.
In the past, the Heavenly Stage was the path for human, demon, and ghost cultivators to become gods. When it was broken, no cultivators in this world could become gods for thousands of years! Even if a cultivator cultivated to the extreme, he would only be a false god.
As for why they were able to successfully cross the Heavenly Stage...
Liuwei and Yanyou looked at each other.
Simulator, "Underworld", "Po Meng"...all of these told them their differences.
Yan You whispered, "There is another fragment. I have also found its location, but it seems to be a strange space. That space repels the Qilin Yuze on my body, and I cannot enter. I tried to send the Heavenly Supervisors in, but when they came back, they said they saw nothing and there was only emptiness inside."
“It seems that I have to take action to get this last piece of debris.” Liu Wei said with narrowed eyes.
Yan You propped up his head and twirled a strand of Liu Wei's white hair: "That's right, we can only rely on you, our warrior."
The two talked for a long time in the hall.
After Liuwei left, Yan You, who had taken a few days off from his busy schedule, had to take on his own responsibilities.
The palace ladies will no longer be able to be brought in piles of government affairs by scholars and those who decide their own affairs.
Then the scholar also came with his disciples.
Congxin was finally released from prison by Jiantiansi. He was a good-tempered person and doted on his own disciple, but this time he was annoyed that Yan You acted on his own against him. Congxin understood that Yan You had to lock him up because he was afraid that he would be used as consumables by Daozu and disappear in the "Colosseum" together.
But couldn't he just say it to Yan You? He really cried at that time! He even suspected that his disciple had changed! He was so ashamed and angry that he was unwilling to talk to Yan You. Even if Yan You apologized several times, it was useless.
Yan You apologized again, but Cong Xin just turned his face away. Yan You's words fell into the air and no one responded. The emperor, who received no response, could only smile awkwardly and pretend nothing had happened, not daring to say a word.
The scholar was also making sarcastic remarks. After all, this guy almost died if he hadn't found an outrageous miracle doctor. "Humph, he deserves it."
Yan You sighed and just opened the memorials to take a look. The first one was about the ministers' doubts about Han Zhang's sentencing. He lowered his eyes coldly and wrote down that he wanted the Astronomical Bureau to make public this guy's behavior of "being in Cao's camp but with his heart in Han".
Putting the first memorial away and opening the second one, Yan You was speechless. The ministers were urging him to get married. They even earnestly listed the names of noble ladies from various families, and there were even some noble sons mixed in.
Yan You was really annoyed. Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and glanced at the "other self" who was sneering and mocking him. He coughed lightly and wrote with a malicious red pen: "Which of the noble ladies is more beautiful than the imperial teacher?"
The scholar, who was regarded as the true imperial teacher by the public, sneezed uncontrollably.
He wondered blankly, who missed him? Or who scolded him?
***
What surprised Liuwei was that when he explained what he was going to do next, Gu Dingbang actually stood up first: "You, you are an unarmed cult leader, why are you going to such a dangerous place? You really love to make trouble!"
The octopus also slammed the table and stood up: "Wherever Auntie goes, I go! Don't leave me behind! We go together!"
Shi Yuan also put down his gun: "Add me in, shouldn't the family be together?"
Liuwei blinked, and blinked again. Before he could say anything, he saw Gu Dingbang already worrying about what to bring on the road. Didn't this guy consider them staying in Zhongzhou Capital at all? With Yan You as their cover, as long as they didn't break the law, they could almost walk around the capital.
For some reason, Liuwei did not refuse.
Watching them packing their luggage, Liuwei's face hit the wooden table.
At that time, the lie that they were a family was really a pretty good one.
The alien dimension that holds the last piece of heavenly rank is located at the border between Zhongzhou and Dongzhou. Lu Jian Tiansi is very familiar with it, even to the point of being ridiculously familiar with the place.
"Lord Liuwei, we can reach our destination by crossing this path." Shen Yu, who led the way himself, whispered. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked in one direction. If he was not mistaken, there were many things and ghosts in that place. Shen Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Lord Liuwei, is it really okay to ignore them?"
Liuwei glanced at the seemingly uninhabited place and knew that there was not only a monk hiding there, but also several ghosts from the Wanrui Sect.
He paused, and considering that they didn't disturb them, he sighed slightly, and decided to let it go. It was his fault for being soft-hearted. He kept chasing after them, looking as pitiful as a puppy. Who could bear it?
Liuwei shook his head.
Then, Liu Wei turned around and glanced at the uneasy Gu Dingbang: "If you are afraid, just follow Lord Shen and don't go in."
Gu Dingbang shook his head, his eyes gradually becoming firm: "...No, I want to follow you, otherwise...you will die in there."
Liuwei heard something and glanced at Gu Dingbang hesitantly. Did he know something?
Liuwei was about to ask directly.
But suddenly, I heard the Tianshi in front of me shouting, "Chief! Fog - fog -"
The voice was full of confusion and doubt!
Oh no! They've been here so many times! They shouldn't be so panicked, this fog is wrong!
Liuwei reacted quickly and tried to grab the person next to him, but his body suddenly staggered!
——I caught nothing!
The fog came up so fast! It was so fast that people could hardly react! The fog came over like a huge wave! For a moment, Liuwei almost couldn't breathe!
The fragment of the heavenly rank stored in the chest lit up.
When Liuwei opened his eyes again, the fog had filled his entire field of vision, so thick that he couldn't even tell the direction!
Liuwei subconsciously touched his chest. The Heavenly Grade Fragment was still there. He barely managed to put down his worried heart.
The fog came so quickly that they had almost no time to react.
"Did you go in?"
Liuwei muttered to himself in confusion.
This environment is completely different from the blank space described by the Sky Monitor. Have they already entered that different dimension?
Liuwei felt something was not right, but he quickly suppressed his doubts.
It seems to look the same everywhere.
Liuwei chose to follow his sixth sense.
The fog almost made people lose their sense of space and time. Liuwei didn't know how long he had been walking, maybe a long time, maybe not at all. But as time passed, doubts in Liuwei's heart continued to accumulate, and he wondered if he had taken the wrong path.
It seemed that the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Rank with integrated consciousness did not give him any reminders.
Liuwei had no choice but to keep walking in one direction.
I don’t know how long I walked.
Suddenly, he noticed that the fog seemed to be thinning.
Liuwei was overjoyed and immediately trotted in that direction.
A black rectangle about half waist high suddenly appeared in front of him.
“…”
【——】
A strange feeling suddenly emerged in his heart, and Liuwei couldn't help but take a step forward, trying to walk forward and see clearly what it was.
[Simulator——Disorder——]
[The simulator is trying to adjust——]
【interference--】
A strange alarm sounded in my ears.
Liuwei seemed to be possessed and walked forward persistently. The rectangular shape finally appeared before his eyes after clearing the fog!
It was a grayish-white stone tablet made of unknown material. It was cut into an extremely square shape, with a very smooth cut surface. The top of the tablet was a little whitish, as if it was a mark left over the years after being constantly touched by someone. It made people smile knowingly.
Liuwei's gaze gradually moved downwards, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
This world is divided into two eras.
In the era before the invasion of foreign gods, there was a kind of writing, which was owned by the original "him", the writing from "his" original world. In today's era, it seems that only every "him" knows it at the beginning. Of course, now because scholars teach students, this kind of writing is also taught by scholars.
After the strange world was invaded by foreign gods, the written languages evolved in various states can be generally summarized as another.
The words written on this stone tablet are actually the original words! That is, the words before the invasion by the foreign gods!
Here it is!
Liuwei thought so.
[Please - be aware - of the interruption]
Liuwei took a few steps forward, his breathing quickened, his eyes moving, his gaze licking the words on the stone tablet.
As he read, he whispered: "——"
