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

There are too many powerful people protecting He Li.

No one in this era can defeat him.

Even though the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court was very unwilling, he had no choice but to give up those ideas that were detrimental to He Li.

However, through this incident, he finally realized that powerful figures of the same level as Nuwa and Zhulong must have known some extremely important secrets behind his back.

Otherwise they wouldn't have done that.

The current Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court is very curious to know what these guys actually know.

But he also knew that asking was pointless.

The goddess Nuwa and other such beings would not tell him.

If these guys are willing to reveal it...

In later generations, they would not collectively "disappear," leaving behind only a few unsuspecting deities who were forced to sever ties with the heavens and break with the Dao before fleeing this world.

So he didn't intend to ask any more questions. He just stared at He Li in silence for a moment before leaving.

He disappeared into the void...

He Li looked at Yu Ji: "Gone?"

"No!" Yu Ji shook his head: "He is still hiding nearby, watching us as if he wants to know why we have attracted the protection of so many top gods."

"He wanted to know why, but having no other clues, he could only keep an eye on us and observe our situation."

He Li nodded upon hearing this.

He wasn't too surprised by this; that Demon Emperor probably only had this much to offer.

He stopped paying attention to the other person.

Compared to the insignificant Demon Emperor...

At this moment, he was more concerned about those beings who had just appeared and chosen to confront the Demon Emperor to protect him, such as the Candle Dragon in the sky, whose eyes were the only visible feature...

There is also the even more mysterious Xuan Nu.

Furthermore, regarding the Lord of the Underworld, He Li already knows her identity based on what the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court said earlier.

Houtu...unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable.

Looking up at these deities...

He Li raised his hands in a fist salute: "Thank you all, seniors!"

"It was no trouble at all!" Nuwa replied.

Then she added, "Weren't you just about to try to make contact with this sacred tree?"

"You were interrupted before because of the Heavenly Emperor's presence, but now that there are no more obstacles, you can continue what you are doing. As for us... you don't need to worry about us, just do your own thing."

Hmm? He Li looked somewhat suspicious upon hearing this.

Although he had long realized that these top-tier deities couldn't have come just to help him...

They probably have other motives as well.

But now, judging from Nuwa's words, are they perhaps curious about what their contact with Yu Ji on the divine tree will cause? Or perhaps they already know what will happen...?

So you came here specifically to get involved?

He Li's mind raced, but on the surface he simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

After all, no matter what Wa and the others wanted to do, contacting the divine tree was something he and Yu Ji had to do, so even if Wa and the others really had ideas, he still had to do it.

Thus, accompanied by a degree of skepticism...

He Li looked at Yu Ji.

Seeing the latter nod, the two calmed down and approached the sacred tree in front of them, preparing to reach out and touch it.

Meanwhile, in Wa's mind...

"Although you have access to information from the future, that information is still limited. Regarding the claim that this person is ordained by Heaven and is a supreme god of the future..."

"We still have doubts."

"Are you sure the divine tree can make that judgment?"

The voice was deep and heavy, as if the creature that spoke was some ancient being. After hearing the voice, Nuwa glanced almost imperceptibly at the sky and nodded.

"It is possible. The divine tree has existed for a very long time. Although it is not a supreme deity, it is more special than you and me."

"It is a being that directly connects to the Heavenly Dao."

"For you and me, perceiving cause and effect or understanding the will of Heaven is quite difficult, and even if we succeed, the result may be somewhat off."

"But the Divine Tree is different; it... can itself be considered part of the power of Heaven."

"Its reaction can represent the way of Heaven."

"Therefore, judging this person's situation based on the divine tree's reaction seems to me to be without any problem."

Nuwa responded in her mind.

Zhulong remained silent upon hearing this.

But then a new voice rang out: "As you said, everything has truly come to pass..."

"Are we truly beyond redemption?"

"I'm not sure!" Nuwa shook her head. "In the end, we are also beings who emerged after the world entered a normal state, even though we hold high positions and have some understanding of the rules."

"But in reality, what you and I know is probably less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of all the rules in the world."

"In my opinion, there are ways to salvage the relationship."

"There are even many other possibilities."

"But so what? Even if we exist, there's no possibility of trying."

"We are not like Ku Rong... Moreover, even Ku Rong is trapped in the curse of the rules of time. If even he is like this, what about you and me, beings caught in this situation?"

At this point, Nuwa sighed.

"The fate of living beings is not predetermined; they simply don't have many opportunities to try."

"Ordinary people often regret the wasted time in their youth."

"Aren't we gods the same?"

"Time cannot be reversed; the wheels of history roll ever onward, mercilessly crushing those who made wrong choices, and will ride on those corpses to an infinite distance..."

"But you can jump off the train in advance."

"But whether you become stepping stones or pioneers of chaos is up to you!"

After Nuwa finished speaking, the gods fell completely silent.

Time cannot be reversed. From the moment of their birth until now, all living beings have made countless choices, and those choices, whether right or wrong, are their own choices and cannot be changed.

The consequences of their choices must be borne by all living beings themselves.

The future of Jedi Sky Link...

It is the result of the choices made by all living beings.

Perhaps the gods had other unknown options that could have changed the future or even the fate of posterity, but as Nuwa said, they simply didn't have the chance to try again.

The cycle of withering and flourishing can be tried repeatedly, but the outcome of such a cycle is not necessarily good...

"So, is leaving the only option?"

After a long silence, Houtu spoke.

Nuwa did not respond, but Zhulong continued, "I once glimpsed countless wondrous demons in the vast void, beings that roamed the void, indescribable yet wielding immense power..."

"I couldn't understand it either."

"Now it seems that they... may also be beings who made choices like us."

It paused here.

Then, with a somewhat complicated tone, he said, "After we leave, the winds from beyond the realm will need to be intercepted by living beings, for those unknown beings from the dark void will follow the mysterious winds..."

"There will be a successor!" Houtu responded.

Zhulong fell silent again upon hearing this.

A moment later, its voice rang out again: "Those who come after must inherit my legacy..."

"Boundary Guardian..."

"This is by no means an easy task!"

"There's still time!" Houtu nodded. "Feilian will send that future generation to their destined place!"

They were communicating with each other in secret.

Meanwhile, in the void opposite, the two Demon Emperors of this era and the future stared intently at the phantoms of Nuwa and the others, realizing that these guys were communicating in secret.

But he couldn't hear it.

There was no way around it; they were all at roughly the same level, and he couldn't easily decipher the telepathic messages from Nuwa and the others.

While he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to overhear these guys' voices...

hum! ! !

The sacred tree swayed gently...

Accompanied by a faint golden-blue light, an immense and terrifying life force, as powerful as a tsunami sweeping across the land, suddenly spread from the crown of the divine tree like a volcanic eruption.

As the life force spread, the surrounding mountains, forests, and vegetation grew wildly, and demons were constantly born.

In the blink of an eye...

The plains and forests surrounding the divine tree were transformed into an endless green ocean, and at the same time, a power, like the might of heaven, made even the gods feel oppressed...

It also quickly covered this area.

This sudden turn of events interrupted the secret conversation between Nuwa and the other deities, including Zhulong.

This also interrupted the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court's investigation.

The gazes of all the powerful figures present...

They instantly returned to He Li and Yu Ji.

It was at this moment that they realized that the two of them had entered a mysterious state, a feeling that... was like suddenly having an epiphany and becoming one with the universe.

"This is..." Yao Tingtian, from a later era, was clearly shocked to see the two in this state.

It was only because he discovered...

The state of He Li and Yu Ji was not just the ordinary harmony between heaven and earth that the strong people of this era experienced when they comprehended nature, but rather... it seemed as if they had completely become a part of heaven and earth.

That's a bit outrageous.

He couldn't understand how those two managed to do it.

But he wasn't stupid; he guessed that this must be closely related to the sacred tree of this era.

This made his face look even uglier.

Having lived from the ancient times to the present, he had never known that the divine tree could put people into this state, even though he had come into contact with the divine tree countless times...

"Damn it!!!"
