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

"Don't worry about his memory problems."

"Let's see what he's thinking."

"Especially those things about the departure of powerful figures from this era, such as Zhulong and the Lord of the Underworld."

"Calm down," He Li said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji immediately understood that He Li must have guessed or known why the memories of the future Demon Emperor were wrong, based on the information he had just revealed.

Although Yu Ji was very curious as to why the memories of the future Demon Emperor were distorted.

But now is clearly not the time to ask.

So she simply nodded and didn't press for details.

She continued to reply to He Lidao: "Emperor of the Demon Court in later generations also did not know where the Lord of the Underworld, Zhulong, and other top powerhouses of his time went."

"And now, he seems to be very concerned about the whereabouts of these former powerful figures."

"And the reason he cares so much..."

"That's because he was thinking that if he failed to possess you, he would continue his original plan after returning to the future, and then lead his subordinates to find Zhulong and the others."

Looking for those powerful figures like Zhulong?

This guy really has a good plan.

However... if his plan succeeds, judging from the fact that powerful figures in the Demon Court obtain the power of the Divine Tree...

If they have clues about powerful figures like Zhulong, or roughly know their location, then they might actually be able to reach the world where Zhulong and his group reside.

"There's quite a lot he can do."

He Li pursed his lips, while Yu Ji chimed in, "He's already secretly investigating these powerful individuals."

"But so far there has been no progress."

"It seems that these powerful individuals have no intention of leaving this world so far, which is why he is joining forces with himself at the peak of this era..."

"The reason why we couldn't find any clues either."

"Finally, there's the matter of... the Heavenly Demon Court and the Underworld are inherently at odds."

"The Lord of the Underworld also has conflicts with the Heavenly Emperor."

"Therefore, the two sides are not friendly."

"That's about it..."

After Yu Ji finished speaking, He Li fell into deep thought, pondering the destruction of the Demon Court and the Netherworld in later generations. He had previously thought that the powerful figures on both sides had destroyed them themselves.

But now that he has come to this era and learned a lot of information, he no longer thinks that way.

After all, logically speaking...

The departure of powerful figures like Zhulong and the Lord of the Underworld was different from the departure of the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court and his allies who severed ties with Heaven and Earth.

The departure of these powerful individuals likely stemmed from their knowledge of the world's secrets and their awareness of their inability to change them, leading them to leave this world with a sense of helplessness.

They may also have a backup plan...

To ensure that future generations can maintain contact with them.

From these perspectives, it's unlikely they'll recklessly exploit resources after they leave.

Since there's no need for them to frantically collect resources, there's naturally no need for them to destroy their own territory. Wouldn't it be better for them to leave their territory to future generations?

Therefore, in He Li's current view...

The destruction of the Demon Court and the Netherworld is more likely due to a fierce conflict that may have occurred between them.

Alternatively, after the powerful figures like the Lord of the Underworld left, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court destroyed the Underworld in order to find their whereabouts, search for clues, and collect resources along the way.

After all, there is a conflict between the Demon Court and the Netherworld.

After the Lord of the Underworld left...

The Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court has noticed something amiss and there is a very high probability that he will directly attack the Netherworld.

He Li was pondering these matters.

At this moment, the Lord of the Underworld spoke up, responding to the words of the future Demon Emperor: "Why are you in such a hurry to tell me about the future when it hasn't even happened yet?"

"Could it be... that in the future, you did something that I made the right choice?"

"You were jealous, and now you regret it..."

"Getting impatient?" he asked with a hint of amusement.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court in later generations looked grim.

He was naturally very annoyed and somewhat jealous of the Lord of the Underworld and those guys who seemed to know more about the world's secrets and left early without even letting him play.

After all, he didn't know what happened to the other person in the future, even if he wanted to imagine that the other person's life wasn't as good as his own...

But deep down, I can't help but wonder what it would be like if the other person were really doing better than me.

This prevented him from truly calming down.

However, this is a bygone era...

His power here was limited, and he didn't know when he would return to the future, so even though he couldn't calm down, he had to force himself to stay calm and stop talking nonsense.

After all, he had important things to do.

Therefore, after hearing the Lord of the Underworld's teasing words, he did not respond with any further emotion.

He simply said coldly, "In any case, you'd better not interfere in my affairs with them. Although you are very strong... you should know that I am no weaker in this era."

"If I, in this era, were to go all out..."

"You might not be able to stop them!"

"You're right!" the Lord of the Underworld responded, agreeing with the words of the future Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court.

The latter was somewhat surprised to hear this. He thought that even if the other party wanted to make concessions, it wouldn't be so easy, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly say that he was right and seemed to be backing down.

This surprised him, but also made him feel a little relieved.

So he was about to speak, telling the Lord of the Underworld to step back and stop interfering with him.

But before he could even utter a word...

The Lord of the Underworld spoke again...

"You're right. If you were to go all out in this era, I might not be able to save them. But... what if we added Nuwa, Zhulong, and Xuan Nu to the mix?"

Accompanied by the Lord of the Underworld's slightly mocking voice, the surrounding void changed once again...

hum! ! !

The void began to distort...

A pair of vertical pupils, as dazzling as the sun yet exuding a chilling light, unfolded in the sky.

At the same time, two slender figures, whose forms were indistinct and difficult to discern, but whose divine power made it impossible to look directly at them, suddenly appeared on either side of the divine tree...

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court in later generations changed his expression drastically.

This time, even the Heavenly Emperor of this era, who resides in the heavens, could no longer remain calm.

His face, which blotted out the sky, suddenly lowered its head, piercing through the clouds and approaching the crowd on the ground. With an unparalleled aura of power and immense fear, he surveyed these figures...

"Zhulong, Nuwa, Xuan Nu, Houtu..."

"Okay, okay, you're all very good!"

"For the sake of the mere will of mortals from future generations, they actually deign to oppose me here?"

"I'm quite curious... what benefits could he possibly offer that would make you so fervent? Have you forgotten that you are gods of this land?"

The Heavenly Emperor angrily questioned him.

In that voice, besides deep doubt, there was also a hint of barely perceptible fear.

Yes, the Heavenly Emperor is afraid.

Even for him, it was impossible to fight against so many beings with similar strength at the same time, but fighting against these beings simultaneously was not what terrified him the most.

What truly terrified him was the reason that could bring so many powerful individuals together at the same time...

Thinking about what will happen in the future...

He had reason to suspect that these guys probably knew the world's true secrets and how to preserve their power and survive in the future.

And He Li is likely the key.

But he knew nothing about these things.

This feeling of being kept in the dark, being arranged and manipulated, and knowing full well his future situation yet feeling utterly powerless to change it, is what terrifies him...

Because he had thought of something deeper.

That is... judging from the current situation, those who know the truth have disappeared...

Perhaps they went to avoid disaster.

Even Nuwa's death was shrouded in mystery...

She might be putting on an act all along.

As for him, the Demon Emperor of Heaven... the only supreme god who was kept in the dark yet lived to see the future, he might actually become the one who died completely and was forgotten.

How could he not be terrified?

Of course, the situation of the Demon Emperor of later generations was the same as that of the Demon Emperor of this era...

He was also feeling uneasy and his scalp tingled.

Seeing their appearance, the Lord of the Underworld, contrary to his usual behavior, stopped teasing them and calmly said, "Protecting him is not just because of concerns about the impact on future generations."

"He has a reason to live here, and that is also the reason we are here to protect him."

"You can't kill him!"

"You can't kill him here."

"If you continue to attempt violence, you might be facing more than just us!"

The Lord of the Underworld's voice was as calm as if he were stating facts as an observer, and these words made the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court of this era and future generations even more astonished and suspicious.

The fact that Nuwa and the others appeared together was shocking enough.

You can hear the Lord of the Underworld's will...

If he still insists on making a move, it seems even more powerful individuals will intervene to deal with them, which...

Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

What exactly happened?

Why should a mortal from later generations be able to enjoy the protection of so many top-tier powerful beings? Is it simply because he was chosen by the Heavenly Dao of later generations?
