Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Destiny? That's certainly true!

After all, judging from the current situation, Jiang Hongxian's ability to be successfully accepted by this strange magma must be related to her being chosen by the Heavenly Dao of the future era.

This magma belongs to her alone.

No other living being could possibly possess this magma power completely.

Even if he had any reason to believe it, he felt that even if he risked his life to come into contact with the magma and try to obtain its power, the best outcome would be nothing more than gaining a little something before it all ended.

Fully harness the power within this magma...

That's absolutely impossible.

According to He Li, the Heavenly Way of later generations had already planned everything when it was saving itself.

Jiang Hongxian is the future Heavenly Emperor, and she is destined to possess power and authority similar to the Great Sun Golden Crow, while this magma is a wondrous object formed by the illumination of the primordial light...

It must have something in common with the Great Sun Crow, which is regarded as the sun and can illuminate the world.

So without a doubt...

The magma was prepared for the future Heavenly Emperor.

Naturally, only Jiang Hongxian, who would later become the Heavenly Emperor, could wield this power.

Conversely, the absolute power and authority from the Netherworld are something that other beings, including Jiang Hongxian, cannot control; it is a power that only He Li can control.

When I think about these things...

He Li suddenly became very curious if Jiang Hongxian's previous guess that there was a third human emperor was correct.

So what corresponding power did the Heavenly Emperor of later generations plan for this third emperor?

And if that power exists in this era...

Does that mean the third emperor was also among this group who traveled through time to this era? Who was he? Was it one of his teammates? Or...?

Are they from another faction?

He pondered for a moment, but immediately shook his head in rejection.

"No, the Heavenly Dao of the future plans to restore prosperity to the future and make it even stronger than this era."

"Moreover, because of the matter of severing the connection between heaven and earth, the Heavenly Dao of future generations will never choose beings from the middle and upper realms."

"So if a third emperor exists..."

"Those can only be beings from the lower realms!"

Thinking of this, He Li couldn't help but glance back and forth between Yu Ji and Li Shang beside him with some suspicion, and even looked towards the direction of the settlement in the valley from time to time.

Mu Lan is still there!

As for Yu Qingge? She couldn't be, because her final fate would inevitably be to become the Lord of the Great Abyss.

Therefore, if the Third Emperor truly exists, then the only ones who can obtain his status and identity are Yu Ji, Li Shang, and Mu Lan—any one of the three of them!

As he pondered, He Li's gaze became intense.

He didn't have high expectations for Mu Lan.

The main problem is that the conditions are not right; Mu Lan's growth is limited and she has absolutely no opportunity to get close to this area.

Therefore, her probability is the lowest.

But it's hard to say about Yu Ji and Li Shang.

Although He Li himself was more inclined to believe that Yu Ji had merged with the soul of the divine tree, the fact was that Li Shang, who was born with a stronger sense of heaven and earth, had a greater chance of success.

The most important point is...

If Heaven knows what the future holds and has been manipulating destiny and making plans long ago...

Logically speaking, many of He Li's and others' actions must have been influenced by fate, such as his decision to bring Li Shang along on short notice.

Li Shang's strength is really too weak.

Their influence was far less than that of Yu Ji, if fate was somehow affecting them...

Normally, such an extremely weak and useless being, and not protected by the Heavenly Dao and its fortune, would definitely encounter various accidents and leave its team.

At least they won't come here with us.

But what happened? Li Shang followed them too.

Given that the laws of nature influence destiny, how can one not believe that this is merely a coincidence?

He preferred to believe that Li Shang's arrival in this era must have served a purpose, perhaps one that would lead to important actions at certain times.

But it's also possible...

She is the third emperor, and she came along to receive power and authority equal to that of any human being.

"It's still hard to say for sure."

"After all, Yu Ji is related to the divine tree."

"There's a good chance she's the third emperor... We can only keep observing for now!" He Li pondered to himself as he looked back and forth between Yu Ji and Li Shang.

Yu Ji and Li Shang also felt somewhat uncomfortable under He Li's intense gaze.

Especially Li Shang...

She was brought into the team at the last minute.

As the least useful member of the team, and almost entirely irrelevant, he could only follow behind established and powerful figures like He Li and Jiang Hongxian, whom they could only look up to...

She already had some unease.

In addition, he wasn't familiar with He Li and the others, and now He Li was staring at him intently, looking back and forth...

It would be strange if she could feel at ease.

In contrast, although Yu Ji was also a little uncomfortable, she was somewhat familiar with He Li, so she didn't think too much about it and naturally didn't feel uneasy.

Moreover, she also possesses the ability to synchronize, allowing her to clearly know He Li's thoughts simply by synchronizing with him.

For example, right now...

Seeing He Li glancing at her and Li Shang from time to time, and looking down in deep thought as if he was considering something, she couldn't help but follow He Li's lead and subsequently learned what he was thinking.

It's just that there's a lot of information involved.

After all, it involves identities and powers comparable to the Heavenly Emperor and the Netherworld Emperor.

Therefore, when she learned that she might be the third emperor, she was both surprised and suspicious, and couldn't help but look at Li Shang, which made the clueless Li Shang even more uneasy.

Fortunately, both He Li and Yu Ji knew that it was not appropriate to say such things directly at this time.

There are outsiders present.

Seeing Li Shang's nervous appearance, the two realized they were making her overthink, so they stopped pressuring her and just pondered their own thoughts.

Until a long time passed...

Bai Long spoke up: "Are we... just supposed to stay here and wait for her to come out?"

His voice broke the quiet atmosphere.

He Li and Yu Ji looked up at the same time.

Before He Li could say anything, the evil messenger spoke first, saying, "It's hard to say just how much power is hidden in this magma."

"I also have no way of knowing how long it will take to accept this power."

"But judging from this situation..."

"I'm afraid it will take her quite a while to fully accept this power, so..." As he spoke, the evil messenger's gaze fell on He Li again.

"So, it's up to you to choose."

"Should we continue waiting here for her to come out..."

"Should we do something else first?"

He asked, and then added, "We don't care. Our task is simply to help you accomplish your tasks and then take you to meet the Lord of the Underworld."

"We have plenty of time, so you don't need to care about our opinions on how you choose to proceed."

After a slight pause, he added, "You don't need to worry about anything happening here since it's unguarded."

"If you choose to do something else..."

"We will arrange for our subordinates to guard this place."

Hmm? You've thought of that much?

Hearing the evil messenger's words, He Li looked at the good and evil messengers with some suspicion. No matter how you looked at them, they were incredibly strange and eerie, because these two were just too considerate.

Is this normal? Definitely not.

Even if they are genuinely kind, they are still among the most powerful figures of this era.

Even Tengshe didn't dare to break ties with them.

Such a high and mighty being, even if truly kind-hearted, wouldn't show such concern for someone they barely know, unless... He thought of the Lord of the Underworld.

Perhaps his previous idea was wrong.

The ruler of the underworld in this era harbored no hostility towards him or intended to harm him.

On the contrary, the other party was friendly...

Perhaps the Netherworld Envoys were instructed by the Lord of the Underworld of this era to take extra care of him before they were sent here, which is why they acted this way.

He Li thought it was very likely, otherwise he really couldn't understand why the Good and Evil Envoy would do this.

However, this also relieved him.

After all, the Lord of the Underworld in this era was one of the world's top powerhouses at his peak. While suspecting that the other party harbored evil intentions, He Li himself was also under great pressure.

Now that he has guessed that the other party has no hostility, He Li can relieve a lot of the pressure in his heart.

So, after hearing the words of the evil messenger...

He Li nodded after a moment's thought.

"Alright, in that case, let's continue our search for something to communicate with Nuwa."

"I'll come back to pick up Jiang Hongxian later!"

He made his choice, and the evil messenger nodded slightly, simultaneously waving his hand to condense unknown array patterns in the invisible void. Instantly, a figure emanating a familiar aura appeared...

That breath is the River of Oblivion and the Yellow Springs!
