Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Rebirth through a drop of blood is a great power, but there are countless cells in a drop of blood. For a god, a single cell can be reborn.

However, when the first fragment passed through layers of barriers and reached the arm of Queen Mother of the West, she already knew the ending.

Anyone who touches the fragments of the sword array that have been tempered with radiation will die. Even if all divine powers are mobilized to defend, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will slip through the net, and it is even more impossible to guarantee that the impact of Yuanshi Tianzun's special radiation that has entered the body on the cells can be completely eliminated.

It's like throwing a fire into a dry material room. There is no way to stop it from burning in a short time.

So, Queen Mother of the West made a decision.

She gave up protecting her body and gathered all her divine power in Zigong, building an absolutely solid city wall.

Her body was huge, so it was almost impossible for her to protect everything. But if she concentrated all her strength on one place, protecting Jiang Lu would not be a problem.

As a result, the Queen Mother of the West was easily pierced through by countless sword formation fragments.

It arrived so easily and smoothly that even Yuanshi Tianzun was surprised.

Although he put all his strength into this attack, he did not expect that it would be so easy to succeed.

In his estimation, perhaps only one or two out of a hundred fragments of the sword formation could break through the heavy defenses and reach the body of the Queen Mother of the West.

And this one or two hundred may not be able to directly destroy Queen Mother of the West and Jiang Lu, but at least it can make her fall from the divine realm. As long as she uses all her divine power to resist the ravages of radiation in her body, she may be worse than an ordinary person by then.

Even though Yuanshi Tianzun consumed a lot of energy because of this, it was still clear who was superior and who was inferior.

But the current situation is completely different from what he imagined.

Now, probably, nearly half of the sword formation fragments had directly penetrated her, leaving all the accompanying radiation in her body, and of the remaining half, many were intended by Yuanshi Tianzun to be used as a feint attack and were not aimed at the Queen Mother of the West at all.

If they were also aimed at the Queen Mother of the West, she would probably look more like a sieve now.

"Why not hide?"

Yuanshi Tianzun murmured silently in a voice that only he could hear.

It is true as he said, using a hair of the Queen Mother of the West can bring her back to life, but only he himself knows how heavy this sentence is, how much price he will have to pay, and the bitterness involved.

He did not want to kill the Queen Mother of the West, no matter how much she made him angry, no matter how she tried to betray him and teamed up with outsiders to deal with him, but she was still his sister, the one he brought up with his own hands, taught him knowledge and trained him personally, and was more like his daughter's sister.

She is Yuanshi Tianzun’s last tenderness.

He suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

This feeling had appeared once before when she was conducting an experiment on Taiyi Zhenren, now Hongyi, to determine her fate.

But it was only a very brief moment, just like when the alarm clock went off and you turned it off instinctively while half asleep and half awake, it lasted only a short moment, and afterwards I couldn't even remember what the pain was like.

But now, the heartache made it hard for him to breathe.

Having exerted all his strength, the now old and frail Yuanshi Tianzun covered his heart, closed his eyes in pain, and let out a long sigh.

He blamed it all on Jiang Lu.

He was the one driving the Queen Mother of the West just now, so of course he should bear the main responsibility.

If it was the Queen Mother of the West herself who was controlling the body, then the worst case scenario would be the one or two percent chance that Yuanshi Tianzun had predicted.

Jiang Lu is proud and arrogant. He will lose his mind once he gets a little advantage. Yuanshi Tianzun has already experienced this.

Then the answer is obvious.

His carelessness caused the death of the Queen Mother of the West.

Fortunately, the radiation penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and he could not escape it no matter where he hid.

"You want to drag my sister down with you even if you die? Damn it."

Yuanshi Tianzun's wrinkles slowly faded away, and after he recovered his breath, he gradually regained his youthful appearance. Although his torn clothes and snow-white hair could not be changed back, at least at a glance, he had turned back into the high-spirited Yuanshi Tianzun.

His eyes quickly changed from sadness to coldness:

"But you should be content with dying with her."

At the same time, in Zigong.

Jiang Lu looked at the phantom of the Queen Mother of the West in front of him, and his two baby hands were so nervous that he didn't know where to put them.

"Auntie, you are."

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun, who had exerted all his strength, was no longer able to care about the traces of time left on his body, the Queen Mother of the West, whose real age was not much younger than Yuanshi Tianzun, also revealed the appearance she was supposed to show after she was exhausted.

She was an old lady who looked a bit mean, like a strong woman when she was young, but would haggle over every penny in the vegetable market when she got old.

But her eyes were full of kindness, and she looked at Jiang Lu as if he was looking at a treasure that was extremely important to her.

"I'm sorry that you had to see me like this."

"But I'm glad you're okay."

Jiang Lu seemed to have just realized that the person in front of him was the Queen Mother of the West.

He laughed, "It's okay. Actually, it's okay. If I hadn't been reincarnated, my real appearance would also be an old man. Remember the Dragon Ball I told you about? There's a character called Master Roshi, who is a lecherous old man. If I didn't use the anti-aging technique, I would be similar to him. The only difference is that I have hair."

He chattered on and on, seemingly just like he always did, making some witty remarks when faced with an awkward situation and then getting over it.

"You still can't forget your Dragon Ball," Queen Mother of the West smiled helplessly.

"Don't talk like the King of the East. He has no manners at all." Jiang Lu lowered his eyes and head slightly to avoid the sight of the Queen Mother of the West.

Queen Mother Xi suddenly asked, "Are you disappointed to see me like this? Men all like young and beautiful girls, right?"

"No." Jiang Lu didn't look up.

"I do not believe."

Queen Mother Xi shook her head and spoke softly, as if she was telling a bedtime story to a child:

"When I first met you, I had quite a few wrinkles on my face. At that time, I never paid attention to my appearance, but later on, I don't know why, I suddenly started to pay attention to these, and I felt that my mentality was getting younger day by day.

Later, every time I saw you, I would try some changes that I had never tried before, and I looked younger and younger. I will never forget your surprised expression at that time. I liked it very much and was very happy.

I am very smart. I could become as young as when I was 18 or 19 all at once, but I didn't do that. I changed little by little, and then you would be surprised every time you saw me, and I would have a sense of accomplishment.

Until the end, I became the same as before, for more than 10,000 years. Well, if the Three Pure Worlds had not been destroyed, I would have been the same until you came, which would have been the next 10,000 years. Because I think you won't die so easily, good people don't live long, evil people will live for thousands of years, haha, just kidding, anyway, I hope to always live the way you like and are most familiar with, because I don't know when you will come.

I was afraid you wouldn’t recognize me.”

At this point, Queen Mother Xi's voice had become very soft, and Jiang Lu had to listen carefully to hear what she said.

"No, how could I not recognize you? Even if your appearance has become blurred in my mind, as long as I find Kunlun Mountain and Yaochi, I will always see you. How could I make a mistake, right?" Jiang Lu was still laughing.

"That's not necessarily true." Queen Mother Xi's tone was slightly filled with a hint of anger and dissatisfaction: "You are in my body now. Logically, there is no one else here except us. But the first time you saw me, you actually asked, 'Auntie, who are you?' Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Jiang Lu did not answer and remained silent.

"I'll ask you again, do you dislike me? Do you want to find someone younger and more beautiful?" Seeing that he did not express his opinion, Queen Mother of the West questioned him again.

"No." Jiang Lu uttered two syllables briefly.

"Then look up and look me in the eyes." When it came to this kind of question, Queen Mother Xi's originally weak voice became full of energy.

Jiang Lu slowly raised his head, and then Queen Mother of the West was stunned.

Jiang Lu's face was already covered with tears without him knowing when. It was hard to imagine how a baby who had just fully grown could have such developed tear glands. Perhaps he had stolen a lot of water through the umbilical cord, but in any case, his face was covered with crystal tears.

His mood was not as light as his words.

In the past, Jiang Lu would always feel thankful that Hao Houmi died but he survived. But now, he felt like something was blocking his heart and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

"I said I didn't have it anymore, how could I not recognize you?"

Jiang Lu cried, "I just really don't know what to do."

The Queen Mother of the West was at a loss as to what to do after seeing this scene. She had never seen Jiang Lu like this before.

It turns out that all the irrelevant words he just said were not only to comfort himself, but also to stabilize his emotions?

Because he knew that if he showed too much sadness, he would feel bad.

Queen Mother of the West, who realized it later, felt a little guilty. He must not want her to see him like this, right?

She slowly hugged Jiang Lu with her shadow. Although she couldn't feel anything and Jiang Lu couldn't feel anything either, she felt warm, perhaps because of psychological reasons.

"I'm very happy." She said with a happy smile.

Jiang Lu finally couldn't bear it anymore and didn't want to pretend anymore.

So he burst into tears, crying even more heartbreakingly than the baby in the delivery room.

"Didn't we agree on this? No matter who it is, when deciding to do something, they have to use a safe word. Why did you decide on your own without saying anything?!"

Queen Mother Xi looked at Jiang Lu, who was crying so hard that his whole body turned red, tilted her head, smiled and asked back: "Even if I say the safe word, will you cooperate?"

Jiang Lu didn't say anything, the answer was already obvious.

Queen Mother Xi stopped talking about this topic and leaned her head against Jiang Lu again, saying softly, "Let me take another look at you. I may not be able to see you again."

After venting his frustration, Jiang Lu felt better. He was a little unhappy when he heard this:
"Didn't Yuanshi Tianzun say that he could revive you? Are you saying this because you think I will really die in his hands soon? Don't worry, I will leave him a breath so that he can revive you. But I don't know why, even though I know you can be resurrected, I still feel good about it."

"This is your intuition, your intuition is very accurate."

Queen Mother Xi interrupted Jiang Lu:

"Because after I'm resurrected, I may not be myself anymore. Maybe the resurrected me is just a tool to help him open the door."

"what?"

Jiang Lu's expression became one of disbelief. The collapse of his last bit of hope brought him a huge sense of despair.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's just quietly enjoy the last moments together. Don't talk about anything else. Just accompany me and finish this last part of my journey quietly."

Queen Mother of the West covered Jiang Lu’s mouth and closed her eyes in his arms.

Jiang Lu wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded and closed his already dim eyes.
Outside the body of Queen Mother of the West.

The sky turned even bloodier.

Seeing this, Daode Tianzun sighed and said, "When a god dies, even heaven and earth will grieve."

"Is there no room for recovery?" Dong Wanggong grabbed his sleeve tightly, eager to hear about the turning point from him.

But the Lord of Morality just shook his head silently.

Lingbao Tianzun, who was squatting on the ground looking for the fragments of the sword formation, said calmly: "The heaven and earth have already communicated, causing the strange phenomenon, so there is no possibility of turning around."

A milky white light suddenly penetrated the clouds and shone on the body of the Queen Mother of the West, which was tattered and decayed, covered with wounds and pus and blood, but still remained standing.

An invisible force lifted her up and slowly lifted her into the air.

Then, countless points of light emerged from her body, appearing so holy in contrast to the blood stains all over her body.

Her body was decomposing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“All things were created by nature. Even gods were just one of the creatures in the beginning. They plundered resources, grew to the top step by step, enjoyed and consumed everything in the world, and dominated the fate of all things.

But the heavens are fair. They enjoy such good treatment, so they must fulfill their due responsibilities. They must not only maintain the order between heaven and earth, but also, after their death, their bodies will turn into nutrients and feed back to the world. This is the logic of nature. "

Daode Tianzun avoided looking at Queen Mother Xi, whose clothes had been completely decomposed, and said solemnly:
"Next year, the Three Pure Ones Realm will be filled with spiritual energy again, and a group of outstanding successors will be born."

After hearing this, everyone averted their sight to avoid seeing the undignified demise of the Supreme Goddess Queen Mother of the West.

Dong Wanggong also turned the camera. Those old people in the live broadcast room who had always longed for the revival of spiritual power in this era of population explosion so that they could return to the world and reach a higher level, or just for fame, did not feel much joy in their hearts when they finally waited for this moment.

They all lowered their heads at the same time and prayed silently for the Queen Mother of the West in front of the screen.

The same is true for Yuanshi Tianzun.

Whether considering the identity of the Queen Mother of the West or the relationship between them, it was impossible for him to look directly at the naked body of the Queen Mother of the West.

He slowly looked away.

And this is the opportunity Jiang Lu has been waiting for! (End of this chapter)
