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

The sudden sound instantly dispelled the oppressive aura emanating from the phantom in the sky.

He Li and Yu Ji relaxed.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court, who was opposite him, frowned.

His brows were furrowed, his gaze wary, and his pupils flickered as if he were rapidly scanning his surroundings, trying to find the source of the mysterious, genderless entity…

He Li understood.

He knew that the person who had spoken up to protect him was definitely one of the strongest in this era.

Otherwise, the mighty Demon Emperor wouldn't have shown such extreme vigilance, even some apprehension, and wouldn't have immediately stopped his attack.

Although He Li still couldn't determine who this person who offered him help and shelter was...

But for those who have a powerful protector...

He wasn't surprised at all.

After all, he had already made a deal with the master of the Netherworld of this era before he came here.

Furthermore, he had contacted the descendants of the Fire Ancestor and even made direct contact with the Goddess Nuwa herself. Any of these beings who still cared about him would inevitably continue to keep an eye on him.

Since these powerful figures are still watching him...

If he were in danger, these top experts certainly wouldn't pretend they didn't see it.

He Li remained completely calm...

Aside from the fact that he knew a powerful figure was watching him in the shadows and might protect him, the more important reason was that after communicating with Nuwa, he knew that the history of the future could not be changed...

If that's the case, then theoretically, as long as his future self exists, he won't die prematurely.

Later, the will of Heaven decreed that he should become the Lord of the Underworld...

That will ensure the success of the layout no matter what.

Knowing that the Heavenly Dao Society's plan would succeed and that he would inevitably become the Lord of the Underworld...

It's not hard to guess that he would be safe in this era, or if something did happen, he would be able to turn danger into safety and return to the future smoothly. Otherwise, the arrangements of the Heavenly Dao in the future would be disrupted.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court was unaware of this.

So at this moment, faced with the sudden appearance of a powerful figure interfering with his possession of another's body...

He then acted very cautiously.

He didn't dare to continue to kill He Li.

After surveying his surroundings, he spoke in a deep voice: "When did he become someone protected by you, Lord of the Underworld? Or are you willing to become my enemy to protect him?"

Hmm? These words from the future Demon Emperor caused He Li's eyes to widen slightly in surprise.

Not only him, but Yu Ji was also surprised.

She couldn't help but look at He Li.

"The Lord of the Underworld? Could it be...?"

Before she could finish speaking, He Li nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, it must be the one who sent the Envoy of Good and Evil from the Underworld!" After saying this, he felt a little speechless.

Since this master of the underworld is willing to go through the trouble of keeping a close watch on me in the shadows...

Then why send out the messengers of good and evil from the underworld?

Why can't he come out in person and communicate with He Li face to face?

And they still have to go around in circles...

Did they send a messenger from the netherworld to invite me?

They really have nothing better to do!

He secretly complained, forgetting that top-tier powerhouses like the Lord of the Underworld already harbored suspicions about these consciousnesses from later generations and naturally wouldn't rashly make contact.

After all, no one knows what will happen if they rashly come into contact with these beings who seem to be from later generations.

Whether it's cause and effect or rules...

These things aren't so easy to understand; even top experts have to be cautious.

At this moment, the Lord of the Underworld of this era, whose identity had been revealed by the future Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court, no longer concealed himself, and his figure gradually appeared beneath the divine tree in front of him...

hum! ! !

Accompanied by some invisible ripples, He Li only saw a hazy, indistinct figure slowly walking out from under the tree.

He couldn't see the illusory figure clearly either.

All he could see was that the other person wore a crown with numerous and intricate ornaments resembling wings, and was covered in heavy clothing, exuding an air of mystery.

"Is this the Lord of the Underworld of this era?"

He Li tried hard to see the other person clearly.

However, the other party seemed to be shrouded in a strange power, so he couldn't see clearly no matter what he did.

However, with a quick glance, He Li looked down at Yu Ji and whispered something to her. Upon hearing this, Yu Ji's beautiful eyes widened in shock and trepidation, as if she were at a loss for what to do.

And just as she made up her mind...

As if preparing to use his supernatural powers to peer into the heart of the Lord of the Underworld in this era...

A voice echoed in their minds...

"You guys have some nerve!"

"You dare to spy on me?"

Clearly, He Li's instruction to Yu Ji to synchronize with the other party's thoughts could not be kept secret from the other party. Of course, He Li did not actually intend to spy on the other party without their knowledge.

He was even more aware that if he spoke to Yu Ji here, all the powerful figures around them could hear him.

So to put it bluntly, he did it on purpose.

Because He Li knew that, aside from fools like the later Demon Emperor who misjudged the secrets of the world...

In this era, those like the Lord of the Underworld, who discovered their future generations and realized the existence of certain problems, would not easily risk influencing future generations and bringing about unknown changes...

They took action against them.

Therefore, He Li openly signaled Yu Ji to take action and check the situation with the other party.

If I succeed, I can learn a lot about the other party and maybe even understand more secrets of the world. Even if I fail, it's just that I'll be stopped by the other party...

Just like now.

Since you can't lose money either way, why not give it a try?

Of course, now that he'd been exposed, He Li wasn't afraid at all. He quickly regained his composure and replied, "I always need to know about the existence that sends Netherworld Envoys to contact us..."

"Who could it be?"

"We know very little about you, and even if we asked you, you probably wouldn't tell us."

"In that case, we can only find out for ourselves."

"Otherwise, how would anyone know what you're up to?"

"That makes sense!" the other person replied.

Upon hearing this, He Li was hoping for more interaction and to ask the other party some questions, but the Lord of the Underworld fell silent after saying that it made some sense.

The other party then turned to look at the future Demon Emperor: "You really haven't changed much in the future either!"

His words carried a hint of sarcasm.

His gaze swept up to the phantom of the Demon Emperor of this era in the sky, but the latter clearly did not want to pay attention to the Lord of the Underworld and did not even give a reaction.

Only the later Demon Emperor coldly replied, "What's wrong with nothing changing?"

"Hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you!"

"You, in later generations, are gradually forgotten."

"Perhaps after some time... all living beings in the world will only remember the Heavenly Emperor and forget that there was ever an Emperor of the Dead Realm. Is being forgotten such a good outcome?"

"You dare to laugh at me?"

Although he was refuting, He Li could hear the complexity in the tone of this future Demon Emperor.

Although He Li vaguely guessed that the other party probably suspected that he was doing better than him because the Lord of the Underworld of this era had left last and he didn't know what happened to him...

That's why it's so complicated.

But He Li couldn't help but look at Yu Ji, wanting Yu Ji to explain things to him at the same time.

Upon seeing this, the latter frowned, seemingly pondering for a moment before replying to He Li in a low voice, "This later Demon Emperor... is there something wrong with his memories?"

"Hmm? How so?"

He Li was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He didn't understand why Yu Ji said that the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court in later generations had problems with his memories.

After listening, Yu Ji explained, "I discovered some of his thoughts and memories through synchronous analysis... and it seems that they don't match some of what we already know."

She paused for a moment at this point.

After sorting through the fragmented information in my mind...

She continued, "The difference between the Demon Emperor of later generations and us is that he lived far too long..."

"He is a true being who has lived from this era to our own in the future, as have the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain... and they should know everything."

"We have arrived in this era..."

"Their memories should contain information."

"But the problem is... this future Demon Emperor's memories seem to have some issues."

"We are not in his memory, at least not in his own mental recollection. It seems that he never experienced this era or confronted us at this time."

"This doesn't seem right, does it?"

"After all, wasn't the Demon Emperor of this era persuaded to appear by his own future self?"

Yu Ji looked up at the sky as he spoke...

Indeed, no matter what, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court of this era had seen them, so even in later generations, he would still have some impression of them in his memory.

Judging from Yu Ji's words, the later Demon Emperor had truly forgotten about this incident...

Wait a minute...

Withering and flourishing... the past crumbles...

The future is swallowed up... forgotten?!

He Li's pupils suddenly contracted!
