"No, don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me..." The moment the Son of God appeared, Elder Hei was already unable to move. Now he was like meat on a felt board, at the mercy of others. It was not until this moment that he really panicked.
“Since you have made a vow, just follow it now. I am too lazy to bother with these trivial matters.” He stretched out his hand towards the Black Elder, and a halo enveloped him. Then his soul was extracted, and in the blink of an eye, he was thrown into purgatory, to be tortured for generations to come.
"Hasn't he always wanted to be immortal? In a sense, this can be regarded as the fulfillment of his pursuit." The light words described a bloody incident. Perhaps to God, the life of Elder Black was not much more important than that of an ant.
After saying this, the Son of God disappeared into the void again.
Looking at the divine book that Elder Bai had sent over early in the morning, Emperor Shitian felt a little annoyed. Just as he had said before, he could not see anything. In his eyes, this divine book was just a blank sheet of paper without any pattern.
"Can't we call that God's Son over to have a look? This, this, this... there's nothing here at all. What's the difference between having it and not having it?" Xiao Zi took the so-called God's Book and looked it over and over for no less than a hundred times. There was nothing, not even a single word. He really didn't know what the old man wanted to do with this thing. He even suspected that the old man had deliberately used this thing to trick them.
Zi Xi also picked it up and read it again and again, and indeed there was not a single word.
"Your Majesty, since the Son of God asked Elder Bai to hand over the divine book to you, he must have had an intention. Don't be too anxious. You can try other methods. By the way, when I was with the young lady, I heard her say that there are many magical chemical phenomena that can hide handwriting. Some fonts written in special ways require special methods to appear. For example, sprinkling water or warming a fire. How about we give it a try?" Although I don't know what chemical phenomena are, what the young lady said must be right.
Emperor Shitian didn't say anything, indicating his acquiescence. Zi Xi immediately brought a basin of water, wet her hands and sprinkled it on the divine sheet. One second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes... In the end, there was still nothing. Zi Xi was not discouraged, and then took out a candle and placed it next to the divine sheet to burn it, but it still didn't work at all.
Zi Xi tried many methods throughout the morning, and her eyes changed from expectation to loneliness and finally to calmness.
"You guys leave." Di Shitian spoke. Xiao Zi wanted to say something but was stopped by Zi Xi, who then pulled him out of the room.
The sun had risen above his head, and the room was filled with sunlight, which fell on the bookshelves, tables and chairs in patches. The breeze blew over the divine book, and a ray of sunlight was reflected along the scroll onto Emperor Shi Tian's face. Suddenly, he felt something dazzled his eyes, and Emperor Shi Tian looked up.
It was still the same scenery, the same surroundings, but for some reason, Di Shitian felt a sense of loneliness. He was not a person who was afraid of loneliness, but at this moment he felt unprecedented loneliness. In a trance, he seemed to see Ling'er's smart and cunning smile, smiling and waving at him, jumping up and down. The next moment, the scene changed, and she lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.
"You two are not suitable. I will not allow you to see her again!" The Saint Lord of Samsara suddenly appeared in front of Ling'er, blocking Emperor Shitian's sight. At this moment, the Saint Lord of Samsara was no longer friendly, but very stern, firm and impolite. "I am Ling'er's father, she will definitely obey me, so just give up on this idea."
"Mother! Mother." Suddenly Emperor Yu also appeared. He cried and shouted for Ling'er, but was stopped by the Saint Lord of Samsara.
"Let me go, I want to see my mother, please let me go."
"She shouldn't have been entangled with Emperor Shi Tian, and your existence is a mistake. In this case, I will correct this mistake for her." As soon as he finished speaking, a sword appeared out of thin air in his hand and pierced Emperor Jun Yu's body fiercely.
"No!"
Emperor Shitian suddenly widened his eyes, then mobilized all his spiritual energy and attacked the Saint of Samsara fiercely...
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Wake up, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly!"
Emperor Shitian was awakened by Zi Xi's voice and suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at the mess around him, he realized that he had been deceived by this god.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Zi Xi had just gone out for a while when she heard the sound of fighting coming from the house. She hurried over to check, but saw that Di Shi Tian was like a possessed man, constantly attacking in one direction. Looking at his unfocused eyes, Zi Xi immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty?" Zi Xi was a little worried.
Emperor Shitian shook his head and said, "It's okay." Then he walked to the front of the divine book, put it away, and disappeared on the spot.
Seeing Di Shitian disappear, Zi Xi was worried. His Majesty's character, not telling anyone anything, was really worrying. It would be great if the young lady was here at this moment.
Arriving at a remote cave, Emperor Shitian took out the divine book and said, "It is useless, but it even dares to confuse my mind. It will be a disaster if I keep it. I'd better destroy it." He threw the divine book up and a ball of fire ignited in his hand and walked towards it.
The next moment, this Shen Bo seemed to have grown eyes and dodged swiftly.
Emperor Shitian showed no mercy and summoned several times more fireballs again to chase after the divine book. The divine book was chased up and down by a bunch of fireballs, which was a very funny scene.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop chasing Xiaobao, okay? I surrender, I surrender." A babyish voice came from the divine book, and he almost cried. If it was an ordinary flame, he would not be afraid. But it was the red flame, which was said to be able to burn everything. Even a divine object like him would be hurt if it was touched. But he was a baby who was afraid of pain, and he didn't want to experience the feeling of being burned.
"Who was the one who deceived me just now? Are you thinking of begging for mercy now?" Although Emperor Shitian said this, the speed of the fireball obviously slowed down.
"That's not Xiaobao's fault. That's Xiaobao's self-protection setting. It was left on Xiaobao by the Lord God. It really has nothing to do with Xiaobao. Please stop. Xiaobao can't run anymore. Help me."
Emperor Shitian waved his hand and took back the fireball. Shen Bo took a long breath and then landed on a big rock.
"Oh, we finally stopped. Xiaobao is so tired."
Emperor Shi Tian walked over and picked up the divine book again.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiaobao has already explained it to you, what do you want to do now!" He was still suffering from the aftereffects of being scared by the fireball, and felt nervous when he saw the man.
Emperor Shitian did not speak, but opened the divine book again. It was empty, still without a single word.
"What's going on?" Emperor Shitian asked.
Xiaobao patted his frightened chest and was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said slowly: "Xiaobao is a divine object, and only those with divine power can read it. Although you are also very strong, you are a mortal after all. It is normal that you can't see the handwriting. It would be strange if you can see it, okay." The voice was soft and cute, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl. I only knew that the child was not very big.
"In that case, let's burn it."
"Oh, no, no, no!" How could this mortal be so impatient, burning things at the drop of a hat, without any compassion at all. Xiao Bao sighed to the sky with a sad face, oh, why is his life so miserable.
I don't know when Di Shi Tian had already started a fire beside him. Xiao Bao looked at the expressionless Di Shi Tian, then looked at the flames beside him. Oh, what a miserable life.
"Well, if you really want to read it, there are ways around it."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Uh." Not only is he impatient, but he also has such a bad temper. Xiaobao complained silently in his heart, but his tone was still very flattering.
"There is only one way, and that is for you to overcome the tribulation and become a god." Simple and straightforward, he got straight to the point. It had to be said sooner or later.
Emperor Shitian frowned every day, feeling a little puzzled.
"I have observed your body. Your physical talent and bones are both top-notch. In short, you are the best among mortals. As long as you take one more step and pass the test of God, you can become a god."
"What is God's test?"
"That... I don't know either. It is said that the test of God is determined by the person being tested. The questions for each tester are different. You will only know after you accept the test."
"How do you accept the test?"
“Hehe, you’ve asked the right person this question. The test of God is issued by the messenger of God on behalf of God, but the probability of meeting the messenger of God is extremely low. It depends on chance, but you are lucky. But you are quite lucky.” Xiao Bao was very proud when he said this.
Emperor Shi Tian was a smart man and guessed it immediately.
"You are the messenger of God."
Xiaobao originally wanted to keep the secret, but he didn't expect it to be exposed so soon.
"That's right, Xiao Bao is the messenger of God. How about it, are you surprised or not?" Xiao Bao was very proud, but Di Shi Tian still had that icy face that never changed. Oh, it feels like a warm face against a cold butt, this person is really boring.
"Alright, alright. Since you didn't use violence against me, I will reluctantly help you overcome the tribulation. As long as you drop a drop of blood on me, the tribulation ceremony will officially begin. Once you accept, you cannot quit. Once you succeed, you will be among the gods. Isn't that wonderful?"
There was actually a hint of expectation in Xiaobao's tone, which made Di Shitian feel very strange, as if all these unsatisfactory things were going too smoothly.
"And after you become a god, you can do whatever you want. Not to mention looking down on the gods, even if you want to deal with the Saint of Samsara, it's as easy as moving your little finger. So, what are you still hesitating about?"
Yes, what is he hesitating about? Emperor Shitian raised his left hand, and a sharp dagger immediately appeared on his right hand. As long as he scratched his finger lightly and the blood dripped onto the divine sheet, he would take the first step towards becoming a god. And from what Xiaobao said, his chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation were very high... ...
On the other side, when Ling'er woke up again, she was in a completely unfamiliar environment.
Touching the stone bed below and looking at the surrounding clouds, it seems like a very high mountain. Tables and chairs made of vines, furniture made of rocks, steep rock walls on all sides, clouds within reach, like a fairyland.
Open your arms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, "Huh~" and feel relaxed all over. The rich spiritual energy and fresh air instantly fill your chest, and your mind becomes more open.
Where is this? Ling'er seemed to be a little confused. She shook her head and tried hard to recall. Oh, she remembered. Wasn't she fighting with those people in Lingxi Palace? How could she be here
"Girl, are you awake?" A voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Ling'er turned around immediately.
What came into view was a man in a black robe. He had a good-looking face and looked very comfortable. His eyebrows and eyes were slightly smiling, and he exuded a kind of affinity that made people feel uncomfortable.
"Who are you?" Ling'er asked subconsciously.
"You are Xia Ling'er." The man did not answer Ling'er's question, but asked back.
Ling'er nodded, and the man continued.
"You are a descendant of the Yunhai royal family, and your biological mother is Lingxi."
Ling'er nodded. She didn't feel disgusted by the man's question. Instead, she felt a strange feeling coming out. Putting all the things together, she seemed to understand a little.
Before, she had always wondered why a smart man like Di Shitian would fall at the hands of a woman. Could it be that it was really the case that a hero could not resist the temptation of a beautiful woman? Now thinking about it again, she seemed to understand a little.
Looking at the man in front of her who was always smiling and had no true feelings, Ling'er suddenly felt sad.
"You are my father." It was not a question, but an affirmative sentence. As smart as Ling'er was, how could she not guess it? It was no wonder that she appeared in this place. Apart from the fact that he was her father, Ling'er really couldn't think of any other reason why Emperor Shi Tian would leave her with other men.
The man still had a smiling face and nodded at Ling'er.
There was no joy of reunion, no curiosity about her past, no grief after being separated for many years, and even the most basic intimacy between father and daughter. Why is it like this? Ling'er couldn't figure it out. This father was not at all what she imagined. The scene of her reunion with her mother seemed like yesterday. Grandpa's pain and excitement, uncle's care and kindness, shouldn't this be the right way to start? Why is her father like this
"To be precise, your father is one of my souls. When I was seriously injured, my soul left my body to recuperate, and one of my souls became the former king of Yunhai, your father. I have been recuperating for thirty years, and it is fate that my soul returns to my body, so your father's death is destined. But my soul is not supposed to have emotional opportunities, so the existence of you and your mother is beyond my expectation, and I don't know where the accident happened. But I firmly believe that everything has cause and effect, and since I have been with you, You have a father-daughter relationship, so I will not leave you alone. At the critical moment of life and death, I saved you. I have already repaired your injuries through the Golden Lotus, but your vitality has not yet recovered, so you can rest assured to recuperate here. I have already measured your divine essence, and you have a deep connection with the gods. When you recover, I will guide you and help you become a god. "Although he is still one step away from becoming a god, if his daughter can become a god, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of his wishes, and he has no regrets.
Ling'er stared blankly at the calm and composed man in front of her. Although he was talking about the bond between father and daughter and how to save her, there was not a trace of emotion between the lines. It was as if he was narrating someone else's story, in such a calm and uneventful statement.
Ling'er had always been indifferent to family affection. It was the appearance of Lingxi and the Ling family that made her redefine the word "family". But at this moment, facing her nominal father, she felt cold. She felt a little sad, not for herself, but for her mother, the woman who still loved her husband deeply.
The Saint of Samsara seemed to see Ling'er's emotions in her eyes, and shook his head and said, "Don't feel that I am cold and indifferent. Every generation has its own things. I am your father, but I am not your father. Don't trap yourself in a situation, learn to jump out of the incident and look at the facts. When you are in a different perspective, you will find that what you see and think are different."
These words made Ling'er suddenly enlightened, and she smiled, "In that case, then I am your daughter, and not your daughter, right?" Isn't this exactly what he said just now
The Saint of Samsara nodded, "Yes."
"In that case, I can listen to or not listen to the arrangements made by the Holy Lord for me. Thank you for your help. If there is any need for Ling'er in the future, please let me know. But at the moment, Ling'er has important things to do, so I will leave first. Bye." After saying that, he flew up, and the next moment he fainted on the ground, completely losing consciousness.
