Chapter 1271: Chapter 454: Inventing a Deity!

The Left Attendant originally did not agree to let the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor go to the Southern Continent;

but with one favored child of the Holy Mother from the past, and the current favorite one, both bowing before her, it was indeed difficult for the Left Attendant to refuse.

Moreover, the reason given by Li Ping’an also made it hard for the Left Attendant to decline.

"The matter of the Southern Continent’s human sacrifices has become extremely severe. Certainly, we could wait for the Holy Mother to return and ask her to resolve this issue, but how painful would it be for the Holy Mother to witness such mortals being buried alive and slaughtered as livestock for sacrifice?

"And now that Heaven and Earth are just beginning to settle, Emperor Xuanyuan and I wish to enter the Southern Continent to find a solution to this problem.

"Whether it takes ten years or a hundred, even five or six hundred years, as long as this issue is resolved, when the Holy Mother returns to see a peaceful and harmonious Southern Continent, at least with the cessation of human sacrifices, it is a good thing, is it not?"

"This..."

Gazing into Li Ping’an’s clear eyes, the Left Attendant slowly nodded.

"Very well, since His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has such intention, this old servant should not obstruct.

"The entrance to the Southern Sea has been sealed. The Holy Mother Palace still has another entrance, through which the two Majesties can enter.

"However..."

The Left Attendant glanced at Qing Su and Guiling.

Feeling inexplicably guilty, Guiling hid his small hands, looking up at the dome.

With a serious expression, the Left Attendant stated:

"The most troublesome aspect of the Southern Divine Court is that the divine beings are connected to the lands and countless mortals of the Southern Continent. The last disturbance in the Southern Continent caused hundreds of thousands of mortal casualties and millions displaced.

"The Holy Mother values the Southern Continent the most, and should any problem arise, I would be unable to face her.

"I implore the two Majesties to consider this old servant and, without full assurance, do not act rashly or heedlessly."

Emperor Xuanyuan chuckled awkwardly: "Rest assured, Left Attendant, with me overseeing, nothing will go wrong."

The Left Attendant sighed, saying: "These words are mainly for His Majesty the Human Emperor... The Southern Continent today is so different from the order of the Human Race you painstakingly established back then."

Emperor Xuanyuan remained silent.

The Left Attendant let out another long sigh, his snake tail gently swaying, enveloping the four of them in a gray mist, taking them to one of Nüwa’s bedchambers.

The entrance to and from the Southern Continent was inside a wardrobe.

In a low voice, Guilingling asked: "Why did the Holy Mother hide the entrance to the great formation here?"

The Left Attendant did not think much of it, replying softly: "The Holy Mother occasionally went to the Southern Continent for inspection before, so please take this well. This is the key to enter and exit this formation."

Li Ping’an took the jade hairpin handed by the Left Attendant.

The hairpin glowed with rich Dao Charm from the Creation Path. This was certainly real. Holding the hairpin close to the wardrobe, a faint vortex appeared on the inner wall of the wardrobe.

Emperor Xuanyuan was about to enter immediately but was once again stopped by the Left Attendant.

The old face of the Left Attendant, somewhat long and narrow, was filled with hesitation.

"Your Majesties, I still feel that there might be something amiss with this matter..."

"Ah! Why the dithering, Left Attendant?"

Frowning, Emperor Xuanyuan said:

"You previously brought in quite a few human sacrificial offerings to the Southern Continent, this I know. You ingratiated yourselves with the Southern Continent because the Holy Mother favored it, and I never demanded accountability for this, so do not force me to settle this score today!

"If the affairs of the Southern Continent can be resolved smoothly, I will overlook your trafficking of human sacrifices in the Western Continent."

Yet, the Left Attendant replied: "I only sent my subordinates to the Western Continent to rescue the mortals captured by the Demon King. Figuring these mortals were as good as dead, I thought why not make other use of them? How could I have known the subordinates would deceive me? I have already dealt with them!"

"Is the Left Attendant trying to wash his hands clean of this matter?"

Emperor Xuanyuan glared:

"The Left Attendant often pleaded for the Hundred Clans before the Holy Mother. Was this, too, out of regard for the Human Race?"

The Left Attendant’s chest heaved slightly: "If Your Majesty intends to speak this way, the Holy Mother herself is from the Hundred Clans, yet Your Majesty wishes to eradicate the Hundred Clans. The Holy Mother has advised Your Majesty many times to value harmony. How did Your Majesty respond? I am merely sharing the burden for the Holy Mother!"

Guilingling and Qing Su exchanged glances.

"Both of you!"

Li Ping’an swiftly moved between the Left Attendant and Emperor Xuanyuan, releasing two gentle forces to make them both step back.

He spoke somewhat helplessly: "Today, we are here to resolve the issue of the Southern Divine Court and human sacrifices. Let us not argue any further, let us respect the Heavenly Court, shall we?"

"Hmph!"

The Left Attendant turned away, waving his sleeve.

Emperor Xuanyuan sneered and turned his head, heading straight into the wardrobe, disappearing into the vortex.

Li Ping’an secretly wiped the sweat from his brow.

This old brother is truly fearless; arguing with the Left Attendant at this critical moment, is he not afraid the Left Attendant will seal the entrance the moment they enter?

—The true form of Li Ping’an is still in secluded cultivation in the Heavenly Court, so there is actually no need to worry about such matters.

"Left Attendant," Li Ping’an cupped his hands, "if any problems arise here, please promptly seek aid from the Heavenly Court, as this involves the contention between the Northern and Southern Heavenly Daos, any slight mishap could lead to the collapse of the Southern Continent."

With that, Li Ping’an turned to invite, leading Qing Su and Guiling together into the vortex.

The Left Attendant looked complexly at the wardrobe a few times, ultimately did nothing more, and turned to leave the chamber, ordering all maids of the Holy Mother to refrain from approaching this place without authorization.

...

A moment later.

In a region slightly northeast of the central Southern Continent.

Expansive, limitless plains marked the typical terrain here, with countless rivers like a mesh, connecting the towering cities and towns.

Within a certain abandoned courtyard of a small town, four streams of light flew from the dry well, then quickly flashed into a mud-brick house, concealing their presence, hiding their own Dao Charm, carefully sensing changes in the heavens and the earth.
