Night Dive Apocalypse
He Qi telepathically communicated with Cha Suxun and Yuan Li, "If their goals were the opposite, and they allowed Dead Bird and Sister to successfully find the Jade Hairpin and gain power, wouldn't that be the same as courting the death of Xie Yuan's former subordinates, who have different goals? So, according to your thinking, they want to help us grow our strength and kill Xie Yuan? And they won't surrender to atone for their sins, so what's their goal?"
Calculating the time, Yuanli sent a message to Heqi and Cha Suxun, "There are more and more suspicious points. Let's finish the questioning first. We can discuss this topic again after tonight's plan is completed."
After that, she turned to Qingshan and said, "Qingshan, what about this brother you just mentioned who was used by the great demon's slave? Is that the brother you mentioned when you were making up my reincarnated self's bride? What did the great demon do with the slave?"
"Yes. After my previous owner died, I was buried with her in the tomb until a group of tomb robbers dug me out and resold me. After several generations, I was passed to a powerful prince, my younger brother. He regarded me as an immortal and worshipped me. However, because he fell in love with a general, he was criticized by the whole city. Before the general went to war, he secretly promised to spend his life with him. It was agreed that after returning from the war, he would resign his official position and marry him to live in seclusion. To silence the gossip, his father asked the Queen Mother for an imperial decree to marry the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue. That night, he wore his wedding dress and painted his bride's red clothes and begged... I killed him. After all, if he had committed suicide, it would have been considered disobedience and would have implicated his family. I granted his wish, but I didn't want to wander the world alone anymore, so I used the method I learned from the nearby monsters to transform him into a living dead. He said he would always be my slave to repay me. We settled in a valley outside Huangci Mountain. With him by my side, I grew increasingly tired of being alone. I made countless puppets and even adopted him as my younger brother. I said that when the general died, I would transform him into a living dead puppet as well, so that they could marry and become a pair of immortal lovers.
"That day, I went to the human world to see if the general was dead. Unfortunately, I was too late. The general had returned from a victorious battle, and upon learning of his death, he hanged himself for love. I was afraid my brother would be heartbroken, so I lied to him and said the general was still alive. My magic in creating the living dead puppet wasn't very sophisticated, and he needed to change bodies more and more frequently. Gradually, his memory and brain seemed to have problems. From sunrise to noon, he was normal. After noon, his memory would become distorted, and he would believe that the general would come to marry him that night. Time and again, he would put on his bridal makeup and wedding clothes before dusk, quietly waiting for the general to arrive. When his body rotted to the point that the skin on his fingers fell off, I would help him with his makeup and hair."
"Later, I didn't want him to continue living in this muddle-headed state, so I made a lot of zombie puppets to protect and take care of him. I taught him how to make zombie puppets to replace his body, and then I set out to find the monster who taught me this method. When I found and learned it, and rushed back to the valley, everything had changed. He was controlled by a white monkey spirit named Shan Niangniang. When he returned to normal, he was used by Shan Niangniang as a slave to create zombie puppets for her. When he was muddle-headed, Shan Niangniang didn't care about him."
Mountain Goddess, White Monkey Spirit...
Heqi and the mountain god Suyang both mentioned that Shan Niangniang, whose true identity is the white monkey spirit, is one of the three most important monsters among Xieyuan's former subordinates.
"Have you seen the Mountain Goddess?"
"Not only did I see her, I even fought with her and was nearly beaten to death by her. It was one of her friends who recognized my true identity, rescued me, and took me away. He then gave me to an old mortal man to be presented to the emperor for his collection. That's how I was able to survive."
"Han Niangniang's friends saved you?"
"Yes, he said, his name is Shan Ting."
The ancient tomb copper coin spirit, the Shangqing boy - Shan Ting, is also one of the three most important monsters.
"Qingsan, I need you to close your eyes and concentrate, carefully recalling the appearance of Shan Niangniang and Shan Ting who saved you."
"Okay, but it's been so long that I can't remember what they look like anymore. I'll try my best."
As Qingsan cooperated with her recollections, Yuanli cast a spell to explore her memories. Strangely, every time she came to the key memory scenes, the faces of Shan Niangniang and Shangqing Tongzi were obscured by a dazzling white light, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Yuanli, I had no choice but to give up.
"Then do you know why this mountain goddess wants your brother to help her make a living dead puppet?"
"I don't know, but my brother said he made at least tens of thousands of zombie puppets for her. However, those zombie puppets would disappear from Huangci Mountain the next day."
"Besides these, do you know anything else related to the followers of the Evil Abyss?"
"That's all I know."
"Okay, then go back and rest. Thank you for today."
After Qingshan left, Yuanli asked Heqi to call the mountain god Suyang.
Since their last separation, the mountain god Su Yang's memory has become more and more deviant. The blank spaces that have been deliberately erased are like wormholes that have been constantly gnawed by pests, getting bigger and bigger.
It would be impossible to rely on his memory to find some useful clues.
"Su Yang, I need you to write a mountain god report to the heavens right now. The content of the report is that the miasma in Yuemang Mountain is getting thicker and thicker, and evil spirits are occupying the mountain. I request the heavens to support and rescue me. Report to the heavens at the hour of Xu on time."
Su Yang didn't ask any more questions and immediately wrote a report and gave it to Yuanli for re-examination.
Yuanli turned it over and over several times in her hands, praising it, "Very good, that's exactly what I mean. Be sure to remember to report to the Heavenly Realm at the hour of Xu."
"Su Yang will remember the Star Lord's instructions."
Yuanli nodded and sent a telepathic message to Heqi alone, "I'm worried about Su Yang like this. Tonight's plan can't go wrong. It would be best if Xiaoqi could spare some time to keep an eye on him. Also, I have a mission for you. After we leave, send your trusted subordinate to the entrance of the Demon Realm to find a small white bird with a jade ring on its ankle. Tell it that Cha Suxun and I have returned to the Heaven Realm and that it doesn't need to wait for me and should go home immediately. This bird has a bad temper, so don't say anything else to it. Once you've conveyed the message, leave. This matter must not be leaked, especially not to Cha Suxun."
He Qi sent her a telepathic message, "I'll do whatever Sister asked me to do for you. But, Sister, is that little white bird some new handsome man you've fallen in love with?"
Yuanli sent a telepathic message to Heqi: "No, kids, don't meddle in your sister's affairs."
He Qi sent a telepathic message to her, "Sister, I'm not a child anymore. I've grown up. I sincerely advise you not to play with fire. Hurting the heart of the person next to you is not worth the loss. Besides, look at my brother-in-law. Can you bear to hurt him again? That little white bird, it better not be that dead bird Heng Jin. In my next life, even though you and the dead bird are both gods, I still won't let the dead bird marry into our family."
Yuanli sent a telepathic message to Heqi, "I know. I promise you, my husband will only be Cha Suxun. There will only be Cha Suxun. You and A-Cha have a really good relationship, so good that I'm a little jealous."
He Qi sent her a telepathic message, "Sister, there's no need to be jealous. You will always be the most important person in my heart. We are family. Sister, this journey is full of dangers. You must protect yourself and return home safely. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Yuanli touched his head, then returned to the Star God's Palace in Heaven with Cha Suxun.
He concealed himself, held her hand, and swaggered into the South Heavenly Gate, calm and relaxed, as leisurely as if he were strolling in his own park. Only Yuanli's heart was in her throat, afraid that he would be exposed.
On the way, she kept urging Jiuwei to fly faster. Only when she stepped into the gate of Xingjun Mansion did she relax a little.
"Ali's Xingjun Mansion is really beautiful. Can you take me for a tour?"
"Of course. All of this is thanks to my immortal servant Xiao Zhu's good care. Xingjun Mansion is beautiful, but I think it's still not as comfortable as our Nether Palace."
Cha Suxun smiled with a little pride.
Yuanli took him on a tour of the entire Xingjun Mansion, introducing him to every detail through telepathic communication. The more they talked, the happier they became, like a sweet couple on a date, and she kept saying sweet words to keep Ah Cha happy.
The good atmosphere suddenly froze when the two of them walked to the lotus pond in Xingjun Mansion.
I saw a naked mermaid sitting on the glazed lotus leaf bed in the center of her lotus pond. To be more precise, it was a merman.
This handsome merman has a fantastic figure, his beautiful light blue tail half-submerged in the water. As he gently sways, ripples appear on the surface, and the refracted sunlight glistens like a galaxy of diamonds. His eight-pack abs and shark line are particularly prominent, perfectly rounded, with a few glistening beads of water flowing down his pectoral muscles to his lower abdomen and tail.
Her appearance is also stunning, even more beautiful than that guy Chanlian. Her long, fluffy hair is draped behind her, dotted with gems and shells.
"Ali's lotus pond... is really interesting." Cha Suxun said sourly while lying on her shoulder.
"It seems my Ahri really likes beautiful mermaids. I can also transform into a mermaid, and I'm sure I'll be prettier than him. Ahri, don't share the love you give me with him. Even if it's just a little bit... it's not okay."
Yuanli sent a telepathic message to Cha Suxun: "He's not mine, I don't even know him."
Seeing her coming, the mermaid was stunned for a moment in disbelief, then immediately jumped into the pool and swam to her, "I am Lan Xingdan from the merman tribe, greeting the Broom Star Lord."
"Who are you?"
"I am a gift from the mermaids to you. I thought the Star God would dislike my ugliness and would not come. I was distracted for a moment and did not immediately notice your arrival. I beg your forgiveness."
How could she have forgotten this! Damn it!
Beside her, Cha Suxun's expression was intriguing. He stared at her intently without saying a word, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.
"It's alright. Xuanlian mentioned you to me, but I was so busy that I forgot about you. Thank you, the mermaids, for your kindness, but I already have a lover, so I can't keep you. You are free to go home. I'll let Xuanlian take you home."
These words seemed to make Lan Xingdan feel hopeless, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Yuanli roughly guessed the reason and said, "I will explain the reason to Chuanlian, so you don't have to worry. If you have any other concerns, you can tell me and I will do my best to help you."
Lan Xingdan folded his hands and placed them on his chest at the position of his heart. A force gathered in his palms, and in an instant, a piece of fish scale appeared in his palms.
He held the fish scale in his hands towards her, then bowed solemnly and said, "Please have mercy, Star Lord. I am willing to be your slave and servant. I only ask that you take me in for a few years before letting me go. As a gift returned by the gods, the mermaids will consider it an impurity displeasing to the gods and will be banished from the deep sea."
Yuanli felt a little reluctant. She looked at Cha Suxun beside her. Before she could say anything, Cha Suxun said, "This is the mermaid tribe's master recognition ceremony. Accept his heart-protecting scales, and you will be his master. Destroying the scales is equivalent to destroying his heart, and he won't dare betray you. What he said is true. Even if you tell the mermaids that you like him and send him back so quickly, the mermaids will still think he is filthy and disliked by the gods. Even if he is not expelled because you expressed your love for him, he will still be ostracized and hated. If you want to keep him, then keep him. I have only one request: he can't be naked."
Yuanli telepathically transmitted to Cha Suxun, "My Ah Cha is simply the kindest ghost in the world."
She accepted Lan Xingdan's scales and said, "Go find Xiao Zhu to arrange accommodation and clothes for you. This pool is small and cramped, so you don't have to force yourself to soak here. Can you transform into a human form?"
"Thank you, Star Lord, for your compassion. Thank you, Star Lord. I will transform into a human form."
"Then from now on, just like Aonian, appear in human form. Remember to put on your clothes."
After saying that, she hurriedly took Cha Suxun back to her own bedroom. There was still plenty of time, as she remembered that among the treasures she had looted from Heng Jin, there was a map of the Immortal Sea.
Xiaozhu had explained to her that this Immortal Sea Map was actually a rare magical artifact, a secret realm created by an ancient god. Entering the painting felt like being at a real seaside. Even the water was actually from the Heavenly Lake, a real, existing water, not an illusion.
After rummaging through boxes and drawers to take out the Fairy Sea Map, she brought Cha Suxun into the painting.
Everything is so real, the gentle sea breeze on the face, the surging waves, the sunset in the sky, the beach, and the trees, all are so real.
"Acha, transform into a mermaid."
Cha Suxun held her and teleported to a huge reef in the middle of the sea and sat down. Then he used the power of the underworld to transform himself into the appearance of a mermaid, with even his hair let down. He raised his hand to lift his hair, and his straight, shiny black hair turned into curly hair.
"Let me think, what's missing? Oh... Mermaids don't need clothes." He immediately cast a spell to change his clothes away, then pretended to think, "Mermaids usually like to adorn themselves with shiny jewels and beautiful shells."
His netherworld power flowed out from his fingertips, splitting into several strands that drifted towards his hair and body, transforming into a number of dazzling jewels and even a jewel body chain that wrapped around his smooth muscle lines.
"What don't you like, Ari? I can change it."
Yuanli was so amazed that she couldn't close her mouth. She was so fascinated that she watched until a drop of saliva fell.
She wiped her mouth in embarrassment and cursed herself for being lustful countless times in her heart.
"It seems that there is no need to change it."
Cha Suxun took her hand and placed it on his abdominal muscles. "Touch it. Touch it to your heart's content, and then Ah Li won't think about other people."
"Then I'm welcome~"
She didn't hesitate to touch it, especially the beautiful shark tail. She had always wanted to try what it felt like.
The shark's tail is slippery, but not as greasy as that of ordinary fish. It feels more comfortable to touch, which is quite novel.
"Hey, it's so slippery and feels amazing."
"Ari, I can transform into any man you like, whether it's a slippery mermaid, a round-haired and cute nine-tailed fox, a flat-haired bird, a phoenix, a scaly dragon, or a winged elf. As long as you like, I can transform into you. Ari, don't look for someone outside to take away your love for me, okay?"
The implication is clear.
"good."
At the hour of Xu, in Heaven, the Hall of Apocalypse.
Cha Suxun hid Yuanli, who had transformed into her original form, in his arms and took her into the Apocalypse Hall.
Tianshu and Hengjin did not have the power of Cha Suxun, the master of a world, and could not hide and sneak in. They could only stay within a hundred meters of the Apocalypse Hall so that they could respond to emergencies at any time and observe any abnormalities.
The Apocalypse Palace is the largest palace complex in heaven, consisting of twelve large and small palaces. Each palace has a dedicated person and they do not interfere with each other. The palaces and corridors inside are intertwined with each other, and once you enter, it is like a maze.
They didn't dare to wander around, so they chose the highest palace and waited on the roof, which also made it easier for Cha Suxun to concentrate on searching for the scent of the soul-seeking incense.
The mountain god's report will go directly to the Tianqi Palace, and then be sent by the immortal officials to a palace specially responsible for storage. No one except the Tianqi Palace and the mountain god can stop it.
However, when Cha Suxun found the Soul-Seeking Incense, the mountain god of Suyang reported that it had fallen into a palace with a plaque called Wuji Palace.
The moment the immortal official stepped out of the main gate of Wuji Palace with the report in his hand, a deep and dull bell sounded from the clouds above a palace on their right.
The immortal official stepped on auspicious clouds and quickly approached the palace in the direction of the bell sound.
Cha Suxun jumped and shuttled nimbly on the roof of the palace, always keeping a distance of three meters, following the immortal official who delivered the report.
Until the immortal official stopped in front of a palace with closed doors and a plaque called Wuxiang Palace.
Unlike other palaces, there is no immortal official or heavenly soldier or general guarding the Wuxiang Palace.
The immortal official cast a spell and gently rang the bell outside the Wuxiang Palace. However, the bell only swayed without making any sound.
The door of Wuxiang Hall was quickly opened by an immortal official. At this moment, the hall suddenly became lively. From the hall came the sound of countless abacus beads colliding with each other, as if they were being moved randomly at the same time.
Cha Suxun jumped onto the roof of Wuxiang Palace and was about to pass through the wall, but was blocked by an invisible and colorless barrier.
Seeing that the immortal official of Wuxiang Palace had received the report and retreated into the house, preparing to close the door, Cha Suxun couldn't help but think too much and immediately teleported into the palace.
But at this moment, the hanging bell outside the hall, which no one had touched, made a sound.
Inside the room, the sounds of all the bead plates colliding stopped at the same time. The look in the eyes of the immortal official holding the report changed slightly, and he looked accurately at the position where Cha Suxun and Yuanli were standing.
Cha Suxun and Yuanli felt their hearts tighten suddenly.
The next moment, the immortal official cast a spell to wrap around the hanging bell outside the hall, and the ringing of the bell stopped abruptly. Inside the hall, the sound of the bead plates colliding resumed.
Yuanli had many questions, but she didn't dare to cast spells to communicate with Cha Suxun for fear of being exposed, so she could only communicate with her eye contact.
Cha Suxun was already prepared to take Yuanli away at any moment. The immortal official had accurately looked in the direction they were standing, most likely noticing their intrusion. However, the immortal official simply closed the hall door and calmly walked into the hall.
The Wuji Palace is like a hidden world inside. There are bookshelves and bookcases reaching the ceiling everywhere, and goose yellow gauze curtains hanging from the ceiling to the ground. There are no decorations or embroidery on the gauze curtains. It looks like just a semi-transparent solid-color gauze curtain.
As we went deeper, the bookshelves and gauze curtains that reached the ceiling became taller and taller, and the ceilings inside the store also became higher and higher. The light on the ceiling gradually dimmed until it became pitch black, and we couldn't see the top. There were star-like lights twinkling in the ceiling, which was as dark as the night sky.
The bookshelves and gauze curtains at the top are visually hidden because the ceiling is too high and there are no lights on the roof to illuminate it.
Countless immortal officials held ice bead abacus in their hands, floating in front of the bookshelf, and quickly blindly dialed the abacus beads according to the books floating in front of them.
It seems that he is calculating something.
