After the myth

Chapter 1112 Plastic Cooperation
"What are you trying to take advantage of?" Ding Huan's domain locked onto Zuo Shanyi.

Although Ding Huan wished he could crush Zuo Shanyi immediately, he also knew very well that while he could suppress Zuo Shanyi on the main road, he could not keep Zuo Shanyi alive.

He only hoped to lower Zuo Shanyi's guard through chatting, and then suddenly make his move.

To Ding Huan's surprise, Zuo Shanyi retreated dozens of feet again before saying, "The item is useless to you. It's something used to condense an avatar, so its value is just so-so."

Treasures that can condense Daoist thoughts into a physical body are absolutely rare and hard to come by.

He didn't have any either.

The dung beetle seized the opportunity in a way that even Ding Huan had to admire.

This guy originally intended to ambush him, but after failing to do so, he turned to ambush Di Xin's Dao body and obtained the treasure.

Ding Huan felt helpless. Zuo Shanyi was too shrewd; he had definitely guessed that Ding Huan wanted to launch a sneak attack.

Seeing that Ding Huan ignored him, Zuo Shanyi said again, "Ding Huan, don't think you can escape Di Xin's pursuit if you offend him."

He will absolutely not let us go. We have no choice but to strike first, otherwise we'll die without even knowing how we died.

You probably don't know how terrifying the Dixin is, but I do. In a one-on-one fight, we have absolutely no chance against the Dixin.

What I mean is that we can team up when we go to the center of chaos in the future.

I have a few other friends who are quite powerful. If you agree, I can persuade them to join me in dealing with Dixin.

Zuo Shanyi is very artful in his speech, and unconsciously put Ding Huan on the same side as him.

However, he overlooked the fact that he had obtained the treasures from the body of Di Xin, while Ding Huan had obtained nothing.

While speaking frankly to Ding Huan, Zuo Shanyi was actually setting up a Source Law restriction at the same time. If Ding Huan wanted to launch a sneak attack on Zuo Shanyi, he would have to break through Zuo Shanyi's restriction first.

That bastard is really despicable.

Ding Huan cursed inwardly, but could only abandon his sneak attack on Zuo Shanyi: "Dung beetle..."

Zuo Shanyi immediately interrupted Ding Huan: "Ding, since we're going to cooperate, we should respect each other. If you don't respect me, I don't need to respect you either."

I don't need to cooperate with Ding Miezu; I, Zuo Shanyi, have plenty of others to cooperate with. So, the prerequisite for cooperation is that you need to call me by my name, not my nickname.

"You're not afraid of Di Xin causing you trouble, and neither am I, Zuo Shanyi."

Zuo Shanyi was furious.

He simply couldn't kill Ding Huan, nor could he do anything to Ding Huan.

Otherwise, he would have killed Ding Huan a million times over.

He won't let anyone who calls him a 'dung beetle' get away with it.

Ding Huan knew that if he wanted to kill the dung beetle, he had to keep track of the guy.

Ding Huan knew Zuo Shanyi's rat-like characteristics all too well.

If this guy wants to hide from him, unless he refines the Ten Directions Universe, he really won't be able to find him.

Look at Zuo Shanyi hiding to the side just now. He could only sense that someone was there, but he had no idea where they were hiding. That's skill.

If Zuo Shanyi's ability to conceal himself was not strong, he would not have been able to calculate Di Xin's Daoist body.

"Alright, I agree to cooperate with you. Dixin is so powerful that the two of us plus your friends alone probably can't handle him. I'll also make some friends; many hands make light work, how about it?"

Ding Huan didn't know the strength of the friends Zuo Shanyi had invited; those who were weak certainly wouldn't catch Zuo Shanyi's eye.

Zuo Shanyi asked his friends to help him deal with Disin, probably because he wanted to deal with Disin first as well.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to kill Zuo Shanyi.

"Okay, it's a deal..."

As soon as Zuo Shanyi finished speaking, before he could even take out the communication bead, Ding Huan tossed one to him: "This is a communication bead. We'll use this to communicate in the future."

Zuo Shanyi took the communication bead, feeling quite helpless.

He was going to give Ding Huan a communication bead, but before he could even say it, Ding Huan's communication bead was already in his hands.

In this way, he would have no way to tamper with Ding Huan's communication bead.

"But I can't contact you, so maybe I should..."

Ding Huan waved his hand: "I have something to take care of. You won't be able to reach me until then. I'll contact you after I'm done. Goodbye."

After saying that, Ding Huan turned and left.

Since we can't eliminate Zuo Shanyi this time, let's save the opportunity for next time.

There's absolutely no need to waste any more time here.

They saw Ding Huan leave with Xian Qing'an.

Zuo Shanyi was extremely unhappy, but he had no choice but to leave.

Next, he could only wait for Ding Huan to contact him, and he was in a very passive state.

He was unwilling to discard Ding Huan's communication bead.

Just as Ding Huan wanted to kill him, he was even more eager to kill Ding Huan.

Moreover, Ding Huan is indeed very strong. If he can take advantage of Ding Huan and Di Xin's desperate struggle, he can kill Ding Huan and then take the opportunity to kill Di Xin, which would be perfect.

After glancing at the communication bead in his hand, Zuo Shanyi took out a jade box, threw it in, then placed layers of restrictions on it before sending the jade box into his own Great Dao World.

Should I contact Ding Huan again after I've finished my business?

He would have to wait until everything was finished before he could contact Ding Huan.

After Ding Huan and Zuo Shanyi left, Tantai Zhilan stood up with Gu Changyu's help.

When Di Xin attacked earlier, Tantai Zhilan was the first to be hit and suffered severe injuries.

Gu Changyu only suffered some minor injuries.

"Master Lan..." Gu Changyu was a little worried.

Tantai Zhilan waved her hand: "It's nothing." She looked at the site of the Changsheng Palace, which had long since disappeared, and knew that the Changsheng Palace would probably never be rebuilt.

Taoism emphasizes the concept of "qi" or "luck".

After her Longevity Palace was destroyed, it was subsequently wiped out one after another, and finally even this space was blasted apart.

This indicates that the Palace of Longevity lacks the auspicious energy for reconstruction, making any rebuilding pointless.

"Shouldn't we move our Longevity Palace to a different location...?"

Before Gu Changyu could finish speaking, Tantai Zhilan waved her hand and said, "No need, the Longevity Palace will not be rebuilt. But I feel that Ding Huan seems to have something special about you. Did you know him before?"

Gu Changyu shook her head: "This is the first time I've seen him. I've never met him before, let alone known him."

Where have you been before?

Only after asking this question did Tantai Zhilan realize that she had never cared about this maid at all.

After Gu Changyu was found, she only asked Gu Changyu to do things for her and never asked about Gu Changyu's past.

They didn't even ask how Gu Changyu survived under the Yong Sheng Shenren Shenhuang.

She didn't care; in her eyes, a maid was naturally not worth her concern.

"I have a beloved disciple named Qi Xinyue. She is incomplete in spirit, and I have been searching for a rare treasure to restore her spirit."

But when I came back, Xinyue had also disappeared, and I couldn't find her. Sigh..."

In Gu Changyu's heart, Qi Xinyue was still the one she was most worried about.

Although Tantai Zhilan was her master, to Gu Changyu, she and Tantai Zhilan only had a master-servant relationship.

Her relationship with Qi Xinyue was deeper; it was more like familial affection.

Qi Xinyue's cultivation level was not high, and her soul was incomplete. After so many years, it was clear that her chances of survival were slim.

This made her very distressed.

Qi Xinyue?
Tantai Zhilan's eyes lit up: "Besides your disciple Qi Xinyue, do you have any other acquaintances or friends?"

Gu Changyu shook her head: "No, I'm not good at talking and I don't have any friends. Besides, in the Longevity Palace, I belong to the Longevity lineage and have nothing to do with the Eternal God lineage."

Gu Changyu knew Tantai Zhilan's character, so she didn't even mention that she had controlled the Changsheng Palace for a period of time.

"Show me Qi Xinyue's image."

Despite her doubts, Gu Changyu still raised her hand and drew Qi Xinyue's image in the void.

"Good, indeed, very good..."

Tantai Zhilan's words were somewhat inexplicable.

Gu Changyu couldn't understand why Tantai Zhilan was so agitated.

Tantai Zhilan already understood what was going on.

After a series of events, she came to realize that Ding Huan was an absolutely decisive and ruthless person who would never show mercy when he struck.

Otherwise, the dung beetle that just ambushed Dixin wouldn't have been able to cause Ding Huan to exterminate his entire clan.

This suggests that Ding Huan must have even exterminated his own race.

Would such a ruthless person tolerate her just because of her appearance?

She herself didn't believe it.

Since Ding Huan tolerated her not because of her appearance, then he tolerated her for other reasons.

She had no connection with Ding Huan, so why did Ding Huan tolerate her?
Ding Huan treated Gu Changyu better than she did, but Gu Changyu didn't even know Ding Huan.

Gu Changyu has a disciple named Qi Xinyue, which makes her guess that Ding Huan is likely tolerant of her and treats Gu Changyu better because of Qi Xinyue.

Otherwise, there is no other reason.

He had just seen Qi Xinyue's appearance and was now convinced of her judgment.

Ding Huan was able to kill Di Xin's Daoist body. With such strength, he will definitely be the overlord of this universe in the future, or at least one of the overlords.

What she longed for but couldn't do, Ding Huan might be able to do.

Next, all she needs to do is find out if Ding Huan and Qi Xinyue know each other.

If she knew Qi Xinyue, she would definitely find her and then get close to Ding Huan.

……

"Master Xian, do you know this person, Di Xin?"

After leaving the Changsheng Palace, Ding Huan began to inquire about Di Xin.

Xian Qing'an's face turned solemn: "I heard that the universe of the gods was created by Di Xin."

"But in the world of gods, there are only legends about this person; I never knew he actually existed, let alone was alive."

Ding Huan understood.

Xian Qing'an meant that even the rules of the universe of gods were set by Di Xin.

Putting aside Dixin's strength, those who cultivate in the universe of the gods are inherently a level lower than Dixin.

If that's really the case, then it's terrifying.

Dixin is equivalent to the Heavenly Way of the Gods.

However, Ding Huan estimates that it is unlikely.

Dixin is the Heavenly Dao, and even if it is just a series of spiritual bodies, it is beyond the calculation of a dung beetle.

According to his understanding of the ten universes, the Heavenly Way of any universe is the Way of Nature, and it is impossible for it to have self-awareness.

Not to mention these people, even the nine powerful beings of the First Universe would never allow the Heavenly Dao of the Ten Directions Universe to have self-awareness.
