Qu Xuanzi and Xie Ruo arrived at the border when the natural barrier was finished being repaired. The transparent beam that formed the barrier barrier like a giant wall was now exposed clearly. Originally a sky full of endless clouds, it now showed a large transparent wall with several cracks patched by magic that propagated like roots.
Xie Ruo was stunned to see it. There were so many places in this world that he had never met, he was curious about anything in those hidden places.
"What's out there?" Xie Ruo was curious. The demons broke through the natural barrier because neither had a portal nor could they cross-country with innate magic. There should be a wider road out there.
"Nature of Emptiness." Qu Xuanzi replied, then looked at Xie Ruo. "Humans who will receive divinity must go through the Void Realm where the remaining deity of the dead god resides. Arguably, that place is a graveyard, not part of the Three Worlds, but an interunia bridge."
"If a god dies, can't he be buried in the Upper World?" Xie Ruo suddenly thought of that.
"Death to gods is not like humans. They do not leave a body, only a remnant of consciousness will slowly disappear', while its power will go to the Void Realm or move to another destined soul."
"What about the path to the God World through death?"
"If it were like that, nothing would be left behind in the Three Worlds. It might leave a remnant of consciousness, but it would inflict a serious injury on his soul."
Xie Ruo nodded in understanding. The longer the concept of this world gets more complicated. What Qu Xuanzi said was only the basic part, not yet another part that was much more complicated and could not be digested in just one moment.
For the time being, Xie Ruo did not need to go to the Emptiness Realm because he had accepted divinity through other means. The way of accepting the divinity that Qu Xuanzi had just said was the way it was done from zero as an ordinary human.
One would cultivate, then reach a level equal to the existence of a god. Afterwards, they would search for the Void Realm themselves and survive within it in search of a suitable divinity. If they don't fit, they'll be destroyed. Not to mention the dangers faced inside there as well as the strange creatures that roam.
So far, only a few humans have made it through. One of them is Goddess of Life—who is now.
Xie Ruo felt lucky that his grandfather was the Dragon God. Plus, he met Qu Xuanzi. If he had not met Qu Xuanzi, he would still be in the conflict of the Demon God in Middle World right now. Or even the war has been going on since yesterday.
Speaking of war, Qu Xuanzi had already arranged for the Upper World army to prepare. In addition to the saint beasts, the Sky Empire also had a huge army that had existed for thousands of years since the Three Worlds were created. They would only come out if the Three Worlds faced an unavoidable great interracial war, let alone regarding the demon race.
All of that was arranged, they gathered in another designated place with a strict military arrangement. Now, since the nature barrier had recovered, the demons would find it difficult to break through in greater numbers to cross-country.
Huo Yuzheng came when he saw Xie Ruo and greeted him. "Teacher." He looked at the sensitive-looking Qu Xuanzi looking at his arrival. He didn't care, just gave a formal salute before talking about anything serious.
"What water ripple pool can be removed now?" Huo Yuzheng asked. The water ripple pool is a large portal covering almost every side of the border. It was used to take a large army across the world during a war.
Qu Xuanzi nodded. They would all go to Middle World in a moment, it would naturally have to be prepared now. The preparation of the troops was done, they only needed to enter the water ripple pond and teleport to Middle World.
The formation activation special officer immediately gathered and unsealed. The seal on the border ground glowed and trembled as if something was going to come out from there.
The light travels very fast to every corner. The place of Xie Ruo and Qu Xuanzi, was right at the end of the light line which was the very side of the water ripple pond. The ground around it moved, spinning like a labyrinth and rising to form a gigantic object of skyscrapers.
Because it had long been unused and had solidified due to the multi-layered seal, the energy in the pond rippled water irregularly. The thick fog created made everyone alert, before finally the golden light from various directions shot out uncontrollably like thousands of shooting stars.
Qu Xuanzi immediately pulled Xie Ruo teleported to a safer place. The water ripple pool would not attack if not for the effects of the broken natural barrier making the energy within it uncontrollable. It caused the gods to be on standby and put up barriers around the pond so as not to scatter too far and harm other creatures.
After the fog disappeared with the pool of water ripples that revealed its form, everyone breathed in a sigh of relief. The building is not just a pool. It was as tall as a tower and fused with the natural barrier. Its magnitude was like a battle arena with a height surrounded by dozens of steps.
Called a water ripple pond, because it had a large and shiny area like a lake pond. The barrier surrounding the water ripple pool held all the chaotic energy that was slowly calm. As soon as the fatal energy chaos was reorganized, the water ripple pond showed an incredible calm that was full of desolation and abandonment.
Regardless of how incredible the pool of water ripples bounced back, Qu Xuanzi's mood became bad once he realized that what he was pulling was not Xie Ruo.
Qu Xuanzi's gaze turned cold looking at Huo Yuzheng that he was carrying. While the little god only put on an indifferent face.
Qu Xuanzi automatically took off his grasp. He searched for Xie Ruo's whereabouts anxiously, then saw the woman he was looking for seemed pensive not far from where he was. The woman looked at the woman next to her strangely.
Xie Ruo was not out of thought, he could have mistakenly brought someone along. When the water ripple pool attack occurred, he had already counted it from the start and intended to tell Qu Xuanzi by pulling him away first. But because of the fog that blocks a person's view and aura, he became wrong 'kidn'.
The person he 'kidnapped' turned out to be a goddess who out of nowhere came where he should have found Qu Xuanzi. He thought he could recognize a person enough through emotions, but he forgot that Qu Xuanzi's emotions were so slight that it was hard to guess. As a result, he picked up a person with deep emotions by his side.
The goddess looked at Xie Ruo in surprise, then immediately smiled awkwardly. "Thank you(?)"
Xie Ruo laughed awkwardly assenting as he searched for Qu Xuanzi's whereabouts. He circulated a glance, then found Qu Xuanzi who had suddenly appeared by his side so suddenly.
"It turns out you were there." Xie Ruo tried to thicken his face.
"Your Majesty." The goddess next to him immediately lowered her head.
"I've decided, will go to the battlefield with the dragon race. They should be here any minute, I'll be gone for a while."
"I'll come along."
Xie Ruo's rao changed, then looked at the busy atmosphere of the Upper World. "Is an Emperor always so free?"
"There's nothing I can do here." Actually Qu Xuanzi only needed to give up the task, especially to that little god.
Xie Ruo chuckled. "Do as you please." After all Xie Ruo could not ban. His children were already safe with the Thunder Spirit and the Life Goddess, he could freely react.
"Then you can take care of it yourself." Qu Xuanzi coldly replied. Who would dare to arrange it?
The woman was silent for a moment when she heard that cold remark. It was a lot different when talking to Xie Ruo. "But—"
"I'm not so happy to talk to you." Qu Xuanzi said indifferently, then left with Xie Ruo.
Xie Ruo glanced at the woman with a meaningful gaze, or could it be said .. mocking?
Xie Ruo's gaze conveyed made the goddess speechless without being able to say anything. She as the Wind Goddess ridiculed an heir to the Dragon God? Really joke. Just because she managed to marry a Celestial Emperor, doesn't mean that she can become an empress, she's already so arrogant!
There were very many who liked the Celestial Emperor in this world. The Wind Goddess was in disbelief, the Celestial Emperor would only marry such a rude human.
Whereas on the other hand, women who were cursed by a certain goddess did not care what others thought of her. Ignoring the Wind Goddess' feelings towards her husband, Xie Ruo placed more importance on the war going on right now. Importantly he believed in Qu Xuanzi, he did not need to dirty his hands to get rid of the come-away parasites.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
When the Upper World had moved to travel through the water ripple pond to the Middle World, Zhongbu Empire was now struck by an acute fever that caused innocent people to have to bear the consequences.
The capital was closed completely, the remaining city had been occupied by the demons sooner than expected causing tremendous anxiety. Many began to protest and determine their respective strengths, especially after hearing that the strongest force after Zhong Guofeng, namely Zhong Xiaorong and Yan Yao had disappeared from the surface.
The news that circulated made the people heated up and conspired that the empire would be destroyed soon. Moreover, the existence of Zhong Guofeng was questioned, making everyone uneasy.
Inside the palace would be as severe as the royal members and the higher-ups gathered. They were perplexed because suddenly all the important people like Emperor, Prince Mingfeng, and Queen Xue disappeared like they were swallowed by the earth.
On the other hand, one of the parties that should have been among the higher-ups' debates was now in a dark room filled with a sense of tightness and darkness. Her thick red irises seemed to be filled with anger, but also satisfaction at the same time.
The Demon God, or Zhong Wenyue who was now in his original form as Yuwen Yue had just recovered from the injuries Asura had inflicted on the battle that had just happened a few days ago.
Time had passed, he could sense that another mixed blood had been born and could barely resist refining the altar. Once the altar was perfect, it would become stronger and be able to defeat Asura without any help. He could also fully possess Shu Xin.
But that mixed blood was impossible to be brought to the battlefield intentionally by Xie Ruo nor Qu Xuanzi. If he wanted to lure someone, he could only touch the weakest.
Xie Ruo was a suitable target compared to Qu Xuanzi. His weakness can be seen more clearly, so he was the determination of the end of the war that was likely to occur. Xie Ruo was both a strength, as well as a weakness. He was Qu Xuanzi's weakness, whereas Xie Ruo's weakness was his family. Isn't that easy to clean up?
"Klan Xie, yes." The Demon God smiled. He could not touch Xie Ruo's friends directly, but the Xie Clan could. Xie Ruo's only weakest point specifically was his grandparents.
The Demon God is now getting an extraordinary plan that can drop one's morale. He will make someone desperate, then sacrifice what should be sacrificed.
If you fail, it doesn't matter either. It was fine not to get another mixed blood, but if it could kill Qu Xuanzi through Xie Ruo, then please Shu Xin at the expense of the pure energy in Xie Ruo's body, then, that would be a lot easier.
Once the oars of the two three islands were surpassed, he thought he could get them.
"Xiao Wu!" The Demon God called someone.
The figure of a beautiful woman came from behind the closed door. Her pointed ears as well as her golden irises showed an indisputable fairy identity. He looked at the Demon God full of reverence while kneeling.
"Watch the Xie Clan's movements. For the rest, I will leave it to the Demon Emperor. You also watch his movements, also follow his orders. Report everything to me when it's done."
The woman's eyes revealed an unexpected guess. At first he was surprised that the Demon God sent the Demon Emperor who was still in the control of the puppet and at any time could make a slight turn, but given that his target was now unusual as well as all the Demon Emperor's relations with the Xie Clan, he became very happy.
"Jian Wu is here, taking His Majesty's orders!" Soon, he will also meet his poor little sister, right? With the Demon Emperor directly supporting, who could stand in his way?
"Watch it well, make sure the woman comes."
Jian Wu smiled happily, understanding the intent of the words of the Demon God. "Xiao Wu understood. Your Majesty need not worry, anything can be done by Xiao Wu without exception."
"Good." The Demon God could finally feel victory in plain sight. However he suddenly recalled something before Jian Wu left. "Oh yeah, tell the others to start the game today. I already felt, the Upper World began to move in resistance. Don't leave other favors and benefit the other side."
"Xiao Wu will not disappoint Your Majesty. Xiao Wu would deliver it, then show His Majesty's true power and strength."
"I thought, you better not go straight to the battlefield against the Upper World. Don't let you see that guy, you're shaky."
Jian Wu was silent for a while, surprised at the words coming out from the mouth of the Demon God. Right, he should not waver just from looking at the woman. Now that he has an important position and is better than ever, he should not be easily swayed just because of the past.
In this world, there was only a Demon God in his eyes, nothing else, even if it was his own real mother!
"Thank you for the warning, Xiao Wu will be careful. To Xiao Wu, His Majesty is everything."
"Then I can calm down."
"Xiao Wu resigned himself." Jian Wu retreated, exiting the room with a steady feeling. It won't shake that easily.
What family? In this world, the strong are in power. He had already become stronger, it was only a matter of time to get rid of all the thorns in his heart.
