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

The darkness descended too suddenly.

Regardless of the reason, and since none of the other deities present were prepared, they had no choice but to improvise.

Like a candle dragon illuminating the world, suppressing the darkness...

For example, when the golden crows emerge in full force, they ignite the heavenly fire.

The other gods, after realizing what was happening, also took action to try and deal with the boundless darkness.

Meanwhile, Nuwa quickly took He Li and Yu Ji, who, according to historical developments, were bound to be key figures in resolving this dark natural disaster, away from the area where the divine tree was located.

They also had to leave.

Because there are too many gods and immortals here, this place poses a great threat to the collective of evil thoughts.

The collective of evil will not ignore this area.

They will gather here.

If He Li and the others don't leave as soon as possible, there's no guarantee that some other unpredictable accident might occur, especially since no one can predict the current situation where daytime is like nighttime.

Although they all know history.

But they only know the result, not the process. If they do nothing and just wait for the rules to drive history...

That would be too passive.

Moreover, while the events of this era may not affect the established history that has already occurred in later generations, who knows whether the unknown future will have any impact?

Since we cannot guarantee anything, we can only try our best to proactively advance history based on our own circumstances.

This still cannot guarantee against unforeseen circumstances...

At least it can reduce the negative impact.

And the reason why Nuwa frequently intervened...

Ultimately, it's because she herself is involved in the process and an important part of driving history in later generations that she needs to take responsibility for her reincarnation in the future.

This makes Nuwa, by nature, more concerned about the development of events than other deities.

And it was precisely because of her emphasis...

This saved He Li from many detours. For example, if things had gone according to plan, after the journey to the Divine Tree ended, He Li and Yu Ji would probably have had to go and find the Fire Ancestor Suiren on their own.

There are still countless unexpected events along the way.

After all, in this era, they also had rivals who, though from later generations, wanted to change history.

Even more sinister enemies...

The Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court was watching them closely.

If they acted on their own, it's obvious they'd run into countless troubles. But now, Wa herself is personally sending He Li and Yu Ji away from here...

This saves He Li a lot of trouble.

Because He Li knew very well that even if Wa sent them away from the vicinity of the divine tree to other places...

They won't just give them away randomly.

If nothing unexpected happens, Nuwa will definitely send them to an area close to or related to the Fire Ancestor Suirenshi. They might be able to find the Fire Ancestor soon.

Thus, they have moved much closer to completely suppressing the collective evil.

That's what He Li was thinking.

And that is indeed the reality...

hum! ! !

As Nuwa's power was activated, He Li felt a dragging sensation, as if he were being pulled to an unknown place, and the scenery around him changed in an instant.

"here it is……"

After regaining his footing, He Li looked around and found himself in a dark, desolate wasteland.

The vegetation here is sparse, and as far as the eye can see, there are large and small rift valleys and weathered boulders everywhere. There is also an altar at his feet that seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

The altar looks very simple.

It is simply a large array of stones laid flat, forming a ring with simple totems.

In the center of the array, several striped stones, several meters long, were interwoven and arranged, their surfaces slightly blackened by wind and sun and their edges covered with moss.

However, this altar was simple.

But I only glanced at it a few times...

He Li was surprised to find that he had a faint burning sensation, as if he were in a furnace.

"This is... the power of the altar?"

He couldn't help but ponder, for he simply hadn't expected that this altar, which looked so obviously abandoned for countless years and so extremely simple, would have no special purpose whatsoever...

It still retains some power.

Most importantly, the remaining power of this altar also seems to be related to fire.

That's a bit intriguing.

As he was pondering, a voice suddenly sounded beside him...

"Could this have been left by a descendant of the Fire Ancestor?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this voice, He Li turned his head and looked at Yu Ji, who had also been sent here by Nuwa, and nodded: "Possibly, but this place doesn't look like it's inhabited."

"It's probably not that easy to learn more about the situation here, given the current circumstances."

"After all..." he looked up.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji also looked up at the sky...

At this moment, darkness had completely enveloped the sky, but due to the power of the Candle Dragon, the sky appeared grayish, giving it the feeling of being illuminated by candlelight at night.

And in the gray sky, small, fiery red suns were moving in many directions...

Those were the Golden Crows.

Although the Demon Emperor was at odds with him and might have had many ulterior motives, he ultimately did not say he would ignore the situation when faced with a major disaster affecting the world.

Of course, He Li knew very well that the Demon Emperor was definitely not truly concerned about the big picture.

The reason he took action...

Ultimately, it's because not only He Li has a share in this world, but the Demon Emperor also has a share. Furthermore, He Li and the others come from a later era, while the Demon Emperor belongs to this era.

At least the original Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court of this era would not allow such a great calamity to wreak havoc on this era.

What if this era completely collapses...

He won't be doing well now. If he's not doing well now, how can he plan for the future?

Therefore, the Demon Emperor of this era, no matter how many schemes he had, still had to cooperate with beings like Zhulong. The only troublesome one might be the Demon Emperor of later generations...

It's hard to say what that guy is thinking.

In particular, his memory is also impaired.

Thinking of this, He Li said, "The power of the Candle Dragon is enough to suppress the aggregate of evil thoughts for a while, but its power cannot completely dispel this darkness."

"In other words, right now, there are probably aggregates of evil everywhere, and they won't leave."

"We need to be careful too."

"Don't end up suffering losses at their hands before you've even dealt with the collective evil."

"As for how to find the Fire Ancestor..."

He Li paused slightly as he spoke, then closed his eyes, his body glowing with golden-red flame patterns as if sensing something. After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked eastward...

"Let's go take a look over there first!"

After saying that, he used his spiritual sense to quickly fly with Yu Ji in the direction he sensed.

His perception... was actually using his inner fire to sense which direction the flame power was stronger, and the stronger the flame power, the more likely there would be a settlement.

Or perhaps they are descendants of the Fire Ancestor.

However, He Li's perception of flames was ultimately no match for Jiang Hongxian's talent.

His senses were rather vague.

He was unable to accurately assess the situation at the sensing point.

He had no choice but to go and check it out himself.

At this moment, He Li felt a pang of regret. If Jiang Hong were here now, finding the Fire Ancestor would probably be very easy, since the other party's sensitivity to fire was simply heaven-defying.

"I wonder if Jiang Hongxian has been affected by this sudden change."

As they moved forward, He Li couldn't help but speak up.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji replied, "It shouldn't be. The area where she is is already filled with intense flames, and besides, according to Feng Lizhui, those flames can suppress evil thoughts..."

"Even if the collective of evil thoughts were to search for her, they probably wouldn't dare to approach her easily."

"Besides, she has helpers on her side."

The helper Yu Ji mentioned was, of course, the cunning official summoned by the forces of good and evil in the netherworld to guard Jiang Hongxian.

Although those treacherous officials are not as powerful as the Netherworld Good and Evil Envoys, their true strength is definitely not weak. It would not be difficult for them to protect Jiang Hongxian and deal with some of the evil collectives.

Thinking of this, He Li felt a little relieved.

At this moment, Yu Ji said, "Speaking of which... how could such a sudden change have occurred?"

"And the Demon Emperor of later generations..."

"He didn't seem to have anticipated this either?"

"Logically speaking, someone who has experienced the events of this era shouldn't be completely unprepared, right?" Yu Ji frowned, seemingly not understanding the problem.

He Li shook his head upon hearing this.

"He doesn't know!"

"You don't know?" Yu Ji was stunned when he heard this.

He Li nodded: "Yes, I don't know. If I'm not mistaken, it's related to the cycle of growth and decay..."

"Withering and flourishing? What do you mean?"

Yu Ji's face clearly showed that he cared a lot.

Seeing this, He Li thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps... this is not the past in the memories of the future Demon Emperor, but a parallel past on the same timeline that has been merged!"

"The timeline that was merged..."

"It has completely vanished!"

"Everything in the memories of the future Demon Emperor has completely disappeared under the operation of the rules..."

"He probably didn't even realize it himself!"

"This is the power of forgetting!"
