Chapter 794: Chapter 756: The Messenger (Wishing You Great Luck in the Dragon Year!)

"Girl, is the catastrophe of the ’Heaven Forbidden’ in Purgatory related to you?"

Pu Zhaotian stood under the dome, contemplating the strange aura emanating from Li Yuqing, and suddenly felt the terrible notion that all his past deeds had been completely seen through by her.

He cleared his throat and said, "I smelled an aura in the ’Heaven Forbidden,’ one identical to the one on you. Because of this aura, I’m unable to close off our world again, and the external God Spirits can gaze upon this land through special means."

He hurried back to the Upper Realm, intending to use his ability to merge with the "Heaven Forbidden" to prevent external God Spirits from spying on Purgatory.

Yet, to his surprise, he found he could no longer do so.

"Indeed, it’s somewhat related."

Li Yuqing took out the "Pearl of Destiny," holding it gently in her palm, feeling the flow of the Power of Destiny, and said, "Someone told me that Purgatory cannot be closed off for long, especially at this time."

"Tower Master, you don’t need to worry too much about this. If They want to watch, then let Them watch," she said.

She held great respect for Pu Zhaotian.

In her eyes, the Sword Tower was another sect that gave her a sense of belonging, aside from the Heaven Treasure Sect and the Li Family.

After all, even the Sky-splitting Sword she wielded came from the Sword Tower.

"Who is He?" Pu Zhaotian wondered.

"One of the four Sovereigns, the God of Destiny." Li Yuqing did not hide anything, seriously explaining, "He is different from other God Spirits, harboring no racial prejudices against us and not treating us as enemies."

Pu Zhaotian spoke bitterly, "Another Sovereign..."

The fallen Black Phoenix Sovereign, the Mo Tian Overlord of the Heaven Demon Clan, God Luo, and now there was another God of Destiny Sovereign.

Why had Purgatory become entangled with so many Sovereigns?

After pondering for a moment, Pu Zhaotian spoke earnestly, "Non-kin, their hearts are different; you should still be careful."

"He really is different from other God Spirits," Li Yuqing quickly said.

Just as she was about to explain further, a warm divine decree suddenly came from the "Pearl of Destiny": "Stay in Purgatory for now."

"This world is special, and it can allow you to continue growing. Although the outer starry sky is vast, many of its mysteries are still not as great as those of the Misty Sea World."

"This Misty Sea hides secrets that even amaze me; you don’t need to hurry to leave."

"Moreover, those God Spirits stronger than the Misty Sea World often achieve higher and possess greater combat prowess."

"Long Di, Yuan Yi, Mo Tian, they are all such figures."

"And so are you."

After stating this, the God of Destiny chuckled softly and said tenderly, "Even if Purgatory is destroyed, you will survive. Be it God Luo or that Black Phoenix, no matter their ultimate fate, they will give me face."

...

In the depths of the Misty Sea, within the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land,

"I can progress no further."

Yuan Qi, who had taken human form, stood beneath the towering golden beehive, speaking to the buzzing insects, "I intend to return to the true Purgatory World."

At the top of the beehive, the Bee King suddenly appeared and then took flight, descending swiftly.

Recently, no more warriors from Alien Tribes had entered through the six special Boundary Wall points.

The Misty Sea where the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land was situated had now become incredibly tranquil.

Through the insects in Purgatory and the connection with Pang Jian, the Bee King knew the "Heaven Forbidden" no longer had the power to shield from external Alien Gods, allowing the gods to peep into Purgatory through their believers.

Zhu Ji of the Human Race had broken the mold by advancing in Purgatory and had also successively annihilated the incarnate bodies of He Motian and Zimo.

Under such circumstances, sending in warriors with ninth-level bloodlines would lead them to a dead end, even if they reached the various layers of the worlds.

"Do you also aspire to ascend to a Demon God?" the Bee King inquired.

Yuan Qi bared his teeth with a grin and said, "Ahead of me, there seems to be only this one path left to choose."

"In the Netherworld Prison, Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit Body was obliterated. The one who killed him was an old ape with the same ice-blue demon pupils as you," the Bee King said sharply, a blade-like gleam in his eyes, and uttered tersely, "The source of your lineage might not be that simple."

"An old ape killed him?!" Yuan Qi exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, a Demon God born in the Misty Sea World, who has achieved the rank of a High God." The Bee King provided the answer, then paused and added, "That old ape has said that once the war in the Netherworld Prison is over, He will command many Realm Gods and Misty Sea Deities to wage a campaign against Purgatory."

"Perhaps soon, you could meet that old ape in Purgatory. What will your choice be then?"

"Your kind’s origin must be significant. When He sees you in Purgatory, He will surely value you greatly."

"This worries me a bit..."

The Bee King stopped there.

Astonished, Yuan Qi realized for the first time how terrifying his lineage was.

A moment later, the ninth-level Demon King pointed to his pair of ice-blue demon pupils and said, "These eyes of mine, and my life, were saved by Pang Jian."

"And not just once."

He thought back to his early, unintelligent days when it was Pang Jian’s father who had saved him.

Then, when the remains of the Heaven Phoenix fell and he was captured by Shangguan Qin’s team, it was once again Pang Jian who saved him.

In the end, Yuan Qi declared firmly, "I am one who knows gratitude."

"Then, I wish you success in elevating your bloodline and ascending to a tenth-level Demon God," the Bee King blessed.

...

In the vast Misty Sea,

fragmented lands floated in the void, forming a massive "human" shape when viewed from above.

This was the body of a twelfth-level aberrant spirit Stone Eater and also Its exclusive territory.

This area had long been far from Netherworld Prison, situated in the unfathomable depths of the Misty Sea.

Most of the deities who sought refuge here had left early, upon hearing that God Luo might come searching one day. Now only about two or three-tenths remained.

That day,

a metal light boat emitting a coppery glow suddenly emerged from the distant mist and made straight for the Stone Eater-controlled Fragment Land.

The Bronze-faced God shouted from afar, "Stone Eater, you killed that envoy from Netherworld Prison who agreed to work for me!"

"Crack!"

A lesser Stone Eater burst forth from the ground, waiting momentarily on a heart-shaped Fragment Land, allowing the Bronze-faced God’s metal light boat to land.

"Pang Jian is Pang Qi’s child. He should be dead in the Netherworld Prison," the lesser Stone Eater said, waiting for the Bronze-faced God to jump down and stop in front of him before continuing, "I left a small mark on him, just a small one."

"It’s gone, that mark has vanished cleanly, along with his aura."

"Bronze-faced God, a colossal upheaval has occurred in Netherworld Prison. You came too late!"

"Yuan Yi has led many Realm Gods and the low-rank gods from the Misty Sea to officially launch an invasion war against Netherworld Prison!"

Since Pang Jian’s departure, a considerable amount of time had passed. When the war in Netherworld Prison fully erupted, the news spread throughout the Misty Sea.

As one of the sovereigns of the Misty Sea, the Stone Eater naturally received the news.

"That kid was Pang Qi’s offspring?" The Bronze-faced God was shocked and cursed, "How did he die in Netherworld Prison? Stone Eater, why did you allow him to enter Netherworld Prison?!"

"That was an invitation from Long Di, not my doing!" The Stone Eater huffed, "You can’t stop the changes in Netherworld Prison. You’d better worry more about Purgatory."

"The struggle between the Black Phoenix and God Luo is is fully unfolding in Purgatory. Your Human Race will be annihilated if you are not careful," the Stone Eater hummed, then added, "Pang Jian still has another body in Purgatory. You should be more concerned about whether the other him can survive."

The Bronze-faced God, who had intended to come with accusations, left without staying a moment longer, hastily steering his light boat away.

...

Panshi Fragment Land.

In the region of ice and snow, the long-sealed Altar of Praying to God sent out its call to the distant Outer Star River.

A young Ice Tribe girl, with a golden bee resting on her shoulder, experienced the arrival of the consciousness of an alien god from the Outer Realm with it.

Next to the altar, the elders of the Ice Tribe looked confused and lost.

The bee, which had just arrived and began to speak human language, told them that from today onwards, their Ice Tribe could move freely around the Purgatory World without being hunted down by the Human Race.

It also said if they wished, they could be sent away from Purgatory and enter the star domain where their ancestors lived.

This unexpected and joyous news left those Ice Tribe members, who had followed Pang Jian for many years, at a loss.

Then, as arranged by Pang Jian, a pure-blooded and clear-hearted young girl began to communicate with the Goddess of Cold Crystal using an ancient ritual atop the altar.

"Whoosh!"

The Altar of Praying to God was enveloped in the radiant light of ice, as a lofty will above the moon descended.

"Hmm!"

"Pang Jian?"

The Ice Tribe girl, penetrated and tainted by the Divine Consciousness but not possessed, opened her eyes and immediately looked at the golden bee.

"My Primordial Spirit ran into temporary trouble in Netherworld Prison, and my main body is currently in the Fifth Realm. I can only contact you in this manner. The bizarre actions of He Motian are due to my influence. That Spirit Race high god named Mou Qi, I will use He Motian to keep Him in check for now. You needn’t worry," the bee spoke with Pang Jian’s tone.

"Once I’ve dealt with my current affairs, I’ll help you kill that Mou Qi."

"Just a high god after all, isn’t much of a threat. Don’t worry," the bee continued in Pang Jian’s voice.

...

In the empty Moon Temple,

Pang Jian’s cold voice echoed within Han Yi’s Hanjing Divine Platform.

"Enough! Stop it!" Ying Yue glared at the Goddess of Cold Crystal.

Seeing her icy friend display a smile like that of a love-struck girl, She snapped irritably, "You were right! The man you fancied is capable! Happy now?"

Only then did Pang Jian’s reverberating voice finally cease.

Unable to help herself, Han Yi swayed on the Divine Platform, dancing gracefully as she said, "I told you it was him. Apart from him, I couldn’t think of anyone else willing to help me, especially against a Spirit Race high god like Mou Qi."

"Alright, let’s just say Pang Jian is formidable, okay?" Ying Yue pouted, then asked, "But how exactly did he do it?"

...
