After the middle-aged man in plain clothes was shot dead, the rest of Lan Yan's men were quickly suppressed by the patrol team of Chishui City. Some were killed, some were captured, and the noisy Chishui City became quiet again.
Lin Xi and the other two returned to the mummy, no, the waters where Shuize, the Lord of Chishui City, was sleeping. After Lan Yan and his group were dealt with, Shuize lifted the order to search the city and brought them back here. Lin Xi didn't want to come in her heart, but with the two big guys staring at them from behind, they didn't have much choice.
On the reef, Shui Ze, dressed in red, turned his back to them and looked into the distance, not knowing whether he was looking at the once vast and boundless sea or at the other side of the space barrier. In the sound of the waves, for some reason, there was a faint sense of tragedy.
The atmosphere was somewhat depressing, and no one spoke, all in tacit silence. This silence lasted for a long time, so long that Lin Xi's legs were a little sore from standing, and finally other sounds besides the waves rang in her ears.
“Crash.”
The black and gold sign tube in the system panel suddenly shook.
System divination? Damn, are the high priest and his men going to take action against us
The system started to predict the future, indicating that someone was about to be unlucky, and the situation at this time and place showed that they were at a disadvantage.
It must not be a fatal disaster.
Lin Xi closed her eyes and prayed silently. Only after she finished praying did she have the courage to look at the content of the fortune. A line of short words came into her sight.
[Shui Ze, male, 2315 years old, died.]
What? Mizusawa, death?!
Lin Xi gasped. It was not them who were unlucky, but the Lord of Chishui City? Lin Xi subconsciously suspected that she had read it wrong, and lowered her head to take another look at the content of the signature.
She was not mistaken, the system was indeed predicting Shuize.
"System, did you predict the future wrongly?" Even after confirming it again and again, Lin Xi still felt that it was unlikely.
They had already witnessed Shuize's power. An SS-level killer whale couldn't even last a minute in his hands. And this was Chishui City. All the spirits in the city were his people. He didn't even have to do it himself. He could kill them with a single order. It was also mentioned that there was a high priest of the Venerable level at this time.
Wait, does the high priest want to kill Shuize
Both of them are venerables, and their strength should be similar. The high priest is determined to regain his body and be reborn as a human being. Could it be that he has set his eyes on Shuize's handsome body
The more Lin Xi thought about it, the more it made sense. She even thought that when the two men fought, it was the time for them to escape from Chishui. But why would Shuize be the one to die when they were both equally powerful? (High Priest:???)
"What have you thought about it?" The cold voice seemed to ring in my ears.
Lin Xi, who was thinking about how to find an opportunity to hint to her companions, was suddenly interrupted. She looked up and saw the protagonist of the divination. At this time, Shuize had returned from the distant reef and was standing not far ahead.
Yes, the divination range of the system is three meters in radius. Since the divination is successful, the water must be within the radius.
Chen Chu hesitated for a moment and replied, "If everything you said before is true, then I will do my best."
Shuize frowned, seemingly dissatisfied: "Just try your best?"
Chen Chu: “Just try your best.”
The responsibility of saving the world was too great. Even though the two described the process as easy, Chen Chu still did not dare to boast that he would succeed. Moreover, he did not completely believe them.
Shuize stared at Chen Chu, as if trying to force Chen Chu to change his answer.
Chen Chu looked back calmly without changing his words.
Qingkong, who had been as quiet as a chicken and pretending that he was not at the scene, could no longer remain calm. His eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, his thoughts boiling with countless speculations gathering in his mind.
It seems that my previous guess was correct. The high priest went to see Chen Chu in such a high-profile manner, and he really had something to tell Chen Chu. Moreover, not only the high priest, but also the Lord of Chishui City seemed to have reached some kind of deal with Chen Chu. Combined with the scene of the three people appearing together just now, perhaps the purpose of the two of them looking for Chen Chu was the same.
What is the purpose? What purpose would make the two top beings spend so much effort. And why must it be Chen Chu? Chen Chu has always had a secret that he knows. Could this secret be related to the subspace
And Lin Xi. When they were in the city before, the Lord of Chishui City and the High Priest looked at Lin Xi in a strange way, as if they recognized the props in Lin Xi's hand. It was not strange to recognize the props, because Lin Xi's props were probably brought out from the subspace. What was strange was that they looked at Lin Xi with joy, satisfaction, and trust.
Yes, it is trust. How could the spirits in the subspace trust the supernatural beings on Earth? What's more, they had just met and even fought each other.
And the High Priest...
Wait, Qingkong, what are you doing? Stop thinking!!!
Don't think any further, curiosity kills the cat, don't get yourself into trouble.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath!
Qingkong forced himself to calm down.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Shuize suddenly smiled, and the pressure he exuded was instantly retracted. The look he gave Chen Chu was no longer as deep as before, but with a hint of trust and entrustment.
Chen Chu was slightly stunned, not quite understanding Shuize's changes.
"If you say you will try your best, I will believe you will." At this time, he and the high priest were both there. If they wanted to kill Chen Chu, it would be easy. If it was just to survive, Chen Chu could have agreed to their request and left here first. But Chen Chu didn't do that. He only said he would try his best, which just showed that he would really try his best.
"Drought, I'll give it to you." Shuize said, and was about to take action.
"Wait." Chen Chu stopped him, "You haven't told me yet, what should I do after I activate these catastrophic items and take them back?"
The two only said to bring back the catastrophic props, but for something as important as saving the world, no matter how simple it is, it is impossible to just bring back the props and throw them into the subspace at will.
"Put it in the Tianji Realm." Shuize said.
"Tianji Realm?" Chen Chu said, "The languages and characters of Earth and Tianyu are different, and the names of the same place are also different. Is there any feature of Tianji Realm so that I can find it?"
"You can't find it." It was the high priest who spoke. The high priest came over and said, "It's not just you. I can't find it either."
Chen Chu frowned: "Since I can't find it, then..."
"She can find it." The high priest raised his hand and pointed at someone.
Chen Chu turned around and saw Lin Yan, who looked confused.
Lin Yan, who was suddenly pulled into the battle circle, said: "I don't know, what is the Tianji Realm? The number of subspaces I have been to can be counted on one hand, how can I know where the Tianji Realm is."
The high priest said, "Your wooden fish comes from there."
The wooden fish comes from the Tianji Realm? No, the wooden fish was given to me by the system.
Wait, the system?! The system knows about the Heavenly Realm
"System, do you know where the Tianji Realm that the high priest mentioned is?" Lin Xi asked in her heart.
System: “Yes.”
Lin Xi: "You really know. The chief priest said that the monk's wooden fish came from Tianji Realm. Did you steal it from there secretly?"
Lin Xi was not surprised by this. The system was obviously a higher-level existence. If it could appear on Earth, it could also appear in other worlds. However, Lin Xi was becoming more and more curious about how the system came into being.
The system denies: "I didn't steal."
Didn’t steal
Lin Xian looked at the high priest and deliberately said, "You said that the wooden fish is from the Heavenly Realm. How do you prove it? You are not trying to frame me because I have a special prop ability."
High Priest: "Proof? The eminent monk who appeared in the void when you struck the wooden fish is one of the twenty-eight constellations in my universe. I have fought with that old bald donkey Ci Hai for decades. Can you prove it?"
The system used barrage to type a series of ellipsis marks for Lin Yan.
[…]
Lin Yan: "I'm sorry, Master Ci Hai, I... I didn't mean to scold you, it's..."
System: "I am not Ci Hai."
Lin Yan: "Then you are..."
System: "I am not a human."
Lin Yan said somewhat embarrassedly: "Well, even if you don't want to say it, you don't have to scold yourself."
System: "I am the system."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was true. It didn’t seem to be a problem that the system said that she was not a human.
Seeing that Lin Yan didn't say anything, the high priest ignored Lin Yan and looked at Chen Chu: "There is a formation arranged in advance by astrologers in the Tianji Realm. After the activation, the world-destroying props will automatically sense the direction when entering the Tianji Realm. You put the props in one by one, and the task will be completed."
Chen Chu did not answer the high priest immediately, but turned to ask Lin Yan: "Lin Yan, do you know the Heavenly Secret Mirror?"
Of course I don’t know, but if I say I don’t know, she can’t explain the origin of the prop “the monk’s wooden fish”.
Lin Yan: "System, can you take us into the Heavenly Realm?"
System: "To open the Heavenly Secret Mirror, you need to collect six world-destroying items."
Destroying the world? Lin Xi's eyes moved slightly. The high priests called it the props of destroying the world. On Earth, they called it the props of disaster.
Lin Yan said with certainty: "You are related to Tianyu."
The system didn't answer, but silence was actually a kind of acquiescence. Moreover, the cold system took the initiative only a few times, and each time was related to Tianyu.
Especially the earth vein map. When no one knew how to deal with the earth vein map, the system took the initiative to propose that it could recycle the earth vein map. At that time, Lin Yan just thought that the system was awesome, but didn't think much about it. After all, in her cognition, the system came from a higher level plane, with great magical powers and omnipotence. There was nothing wrong with being able to recycle the earth vein map. But now Lin Yan doesn't think so.
Lin Yan: "I get swallowed into the subspace every time not because I'm unlucky, but because of you."
System: "Mostly because you are unlucky."
Go to hell, it's all your fault. Don't even think about blaming it on my luck. And I seriously doubt that my bad luck is also caused by you.
Lin Yan wanted to debate with the system for 300 rounds right there and then, but at this time, others were still waiting for her answer. Lin Yan pulled herself away from her thoughts and quickly replied, "I know."
Chen Chu's eyes widened slightly: "Can you go in?"
Lin Yan nodded: "It should be possible."
"Should?" The high priest frowned, obviously not very satisfied with the answer.
"The Tianji Realm is closed. To reopen it, we need to collect six catastrophic items." Lin Xi directly conveyed the system's words.
Collect all six catastrophic items? When Chen Chu heard this, the first thing he thought of was the geomancy map he gave to Lin Yan. The high priest mentioned the Tianji Realm, and Lin Yan was related to the Tianji Realm. Catastrophic items must be placed in the Tianji Realm, and Lin Yan's ability can just accommodate catastrophic items.
Is it such a coincidence
The high priest and Shuize were not surprised by Lin Xi's answer. Tianji Realm is the holy land of Tianyu, and it is also a place specially arranged by astrologers to save the world. It would be strange if people could enter and exit at will. It requires six pieces of world-destroying props to be gathered before it can be opened. This also means that as long as Tianji Realm is opened, Tianyu can be revived.
The high priest and Shuize looked at each other, and there was a little more hope in their eyes.
“Drought for you.”
This time Chen Chu did not stop him. Under the gaze of everyone, Shuize reached into his chest with his right hand. His body turned into water in an instant, and a circle of ripples appeared on his chest. He took out a red stone sculpture from it. The stone sculpture was the size of a palm, red all over, and shaped like some kind of bird, but with four eyes. The eyes were shining, and the fire was flowing, as if it were a living thing.
The moment the stone sculpture appeared, a huge amount of fire-based power swept out, but just as it appeared, it was enveloped by an even more powerful water-based power and was suppressed.
"Here." Shuize handed the stone sculpture to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu took it and held it in his hand. He did not sense the method of suppressing the catastrophic props that Shuize had mentioned before. When he was about to ask, he saw Shuize suddenly raise his hand and reach deep into his head, and take out a water-blue crystal from between his eyebrows.
Chen Chu's pupils trembled violently.
Energy source?!
The so-called energy source is the energy crystal formed in the body after the superpowers practice, which is the energy center of the human superpowers. Once the energy source is broken, the superpowers will be scrapped at best, and death will occur at worst.
The shattered sky was no longer capable of sustaining the survival of ordinary people, and Shuize taking out the energy source at this time was tantamount to suicide.
Chen Chu was shocked for only a moment, and before he could even stop it, the aqua blue crystal had already been pressed into the stone sculpture by Shuize.
Chen Chu stared blankly at Shuize, whose breath began to decline rapidly.
Shuize simply said: "My power can only suppress drought once, use it with caution."
At this moment, Chen Chu didn't know what to say. He could only hold the stone sculpture tightly in his hand and nodded heavily.
Shui Ze smiled with satisfaction and turned to look at the high priest: "My mission is accomplished."
The high priest said in a heavy tone: “I know.”
Shuize sighed: "It's really a disaster that has lasted for thousands of years."
The high priest rarely refuted and just let him do the harm.
Shuize turned around and walked towards the sea. His red robe was blown up by the sea breeze, like a blooming red lotus. The red lotus bloomed to its extreme, turning into countless points of light and dissipating in the Chishui sea.
"Boom boom"
The whole city suddenly became turbulent, the sky shook, the earth trembled, and the waves surged.
"Red Water is about to close." The high priest withdrew his gaze from the sea and said to Chen Chu, "I will wait for you at the next space fragment."
As soon as the words fell, the space around them suddenly shattered, and black space vortices appeared.
That was a space gate that appeared due to the collapse of the secondary space.
