I would rather betray the gods

Inside a cave in an uninhabited area.

The two men, one fat and one thin, knelt on the ground, heads bowed, not daring to breathe.

They met the cloaked man who had helped Lorota become a god that day.

The three flags bearing his name were made by him.

That is, the cloaked man is named Xu Xiangsheng.

Upon learning that the two of them had lost the flag, Xu Xiangsheng was furious and could not calm down for a long time.

"Does that mean that person was completely unaffected by the command flag?"

Xu Xiangsheng stood with his back to him, his hands clasped behind his back.

Yes, yes, yes!

The two men nodded in agreement.

"How could such a person of extraordinary destiny exist on a mere Earth, unaffected even by my sensual desires..."

As he spoke, Xu Xiangsheng threw a disc upwards.

The disc grew larger and brighter in the air, its surface covered with shimmering specks.

This compass is called the Star God Compass. It can reveal the traces left by the movement of deities within a certain range, just like how people on earth can see the white trails left by airplanes in the sky. It is very clear at a glance.

As expected, the demigod Yuzu was not among the stars detected by the astrological compass. In other words, Yuzu was not a true god and the astrological compass could not identify him. Xu Xiangsheng's guess that the other party was also a god was wrong.

Xu Xiangsheng was even more puzzled. How could a mere mortal have such a destiny?!

"Never mind who he is, he's not that capable anyway, otherwise you two wouldn't have escaped so easily."

As he spoke, he put away the Star God Disc.

"Yes, yes, that person is not worth mentioning in front of the True Lord."

The fat man agreed.

"If there's nothing else, shall we head back to the L organization?"

The recent operation requires a lot of manpower, and the two of us will contribute our efforts!

The thin man took the opportunity to find an excuse to slip away.

If serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, then serving a god is like an ant circling an elephant's foot; every moment longer feels like being pricked by thorns.

"Can."

Xu Xiangsheng nodded.

The two men, one fat and one thin, quickly turned and left after receiving permission.

"etc."

Suddenly, Xu Xiangsheng called them to a stop.

As they approached the cave entrance, the two men's eyes were filled with the light of the outside world. A command to stop them made them feel as if there was an abyss behind them.

They both stopped abruptly, cold sweat streaming down their faces.

"If someone knows the command flag, they will find me by following the name on it."

Xu Xiangsheng expressed his concerns.

Upon hearing this, the two men had a vague feeling that there was something more to his words, and it was not a good premonition.

Sure enough, Xu Xiangsheng continued, "Which of you two is willing to share my name and surname and ascend to the Heavenly Pavilion?"

"This is an immense honor! Only the team leader is qualified!"

The thin man recommended the fat man without hesitation.

It wasn't that he was so noble, but rather that he immediately grasped the meaning; to put it bluntly, it was actually that the True Lord was looking for a scapegoat.

And just as he expected, the fat man, still not quite understanding what was happening, turned into a pool of blood amidst screams.

The thin man tried his best to remain calm, but ultimately collapsed to his knees...

The White House.

Yuzu handed the captured command flag to Yuebai.

Even Yuebai couldn't say where the script came from, but he was certain that the name on the command flag was that of the visitor from outer space.

Moreover, a command flag revealed to them that the extraterrestrial visitors were connected to L.

It was truly unexpected that the extraterrestrial visitors they had been searching for would emerge in such a way.

But what use is just knowing the name? It's nothing more than changing the name of "visitor from outer space." Yuzu looked at Yuebai, who was excited, with some confusion.

Yuebai didn't explain much, but simply took him to a desert in the human world to show him what reverse tracking was all about.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Yuebai stirred up a breeze, which blew away the sand, revealing a circular pattern covered with imperial edicts on the sand.

Then Yuebai inserted the command flag into the center of the pattern, and with the power of the Great Ruler, summoned the surrounding insects and beasts, selected a lizard from among them, and ordered it to walk under the command flag.

Final Spell | Celestial Art - Summoning the Gods - Xu Xiangsheng |

As the technique began, the pattern emitted a faint glow, and the lizard in the center of the table began to twitch continuously.

Before long, the lizard emitted a groan like a human, and a cloud of soul mist rose from its body; the mist was the primordial spirit of the person who had been invited.

Soul Mist revealed a hundred different distorted expressions, one hand reaching straight out towards Yueyou and the other, looking very painful.

"This is not Xu Xiangsheng."

Yuzu immediately sensed that the aura of the soul mist was very similar to that of the fat man from the night.

Yuebai nodded without surprise, as such tricks were not enough to fool her discerning eyes. However, Xu Xiangsheng's counter-tracking methods made her frown.

She first pointed to her brow, then aimed the tip of her finger at the command flag, and uttered the word "Break," at which point the command flag burst into flames.

The lizard, startled by the mist of souls, ran away, and the mist gradually dissipated.

"Oh dear, it's burned. How are we going to use the command flag to find Xu Xiangsheng now?"

Yuzu was somewhat surprised.

"This method will never be found, and the only way for the spirit trapped in the vortex of true and false birth dates to find release is through this."

As the ruler of this realm, Yuebai's great love extends to every living being.

"I see," Yuzu nodded as she watched the soul mist gradually dissipate. At that moment, the soul mist, which was about to vanish completely, seemed to be in less pain.

"Hmph, don't think the trail has gone cold. He can't hide forever. I'll have someone send the font sample to Taurus Palace right away, and we'll soon be able to verify which planet this person comes from!"

Yuebai reached out to the burning command flag, mentally commanding it to float, then clenched his fist and crushed the still-burning flagpole into dust.

At this moment, Yuzu inappropriately took out her phone to check text messages.

Given his upbringing and sensitivity, the fact that he would check his phone when his heart was troubled by the moonlight suggests that the message with that particular ringtone was somehow connected to the situation.

A short while later, Yuzi put her phone back in her pocket. "Sometimes the fish will bite the hook on their own."

"How so?"

Yuebai understood his meaning; Xu Xiangsheng might be about to make his appearance.

"With your burning of the scriptures to open the Heavenly Way first, the visitors from beyond the heavens dare not make a big fuss to interfere in human affairs, but they can interfere with human people."

Yuzu looked at Yuebai.

Upon hearing this, Yuebai's thoughts immediately became clear. "This may be the main reason why Xu Xiangsheng is linked to L. Heaven has the right to do things, so he dares not make a big fuss and disturb the world, but he can use the people of this planet, namely the L organization, to achieve his goals."

So, L is about to take some big action?

"Exactly! I'm just a person of this world; leave this matter to me. I don't believe Xu Xiangsheng won't show his face!"

Yuzu smiled and nodded.

Even the moon shines brightly, and I smile.

Suddenly, Yuebai waved his hand, stirring up a cloud of dust, and told the bewildered Youzi, "Your Highness, I should leave now. There's an expedition team watching with binoculars not far away, and I don't want to be seen."

After saying that, she vanished in a flash of silver light.

Indeed, what would people think if a little girl dressed in revealing ancient costume appeared in the heart of the desert?

However, what she called "not far away" wasn't actually close. Yuzu looked around before spotting a faintly lit point of light in the distance, which was probably a reflection from the telescope lens.

He was very curious about how Yuebai had discovered it. He could only sense the power of stars, which was probably the difference between him, a god who had only become a god halfway through his life, and a true god.

But none of that mattered. He was more concerned about the pattern painted on the ground by the moon, and he made sure to memorize it before it was buried by the sand.

I've learned something new today – I never knew you could "invite a god to possess you"!

He thought this to himself, and then vanished in a flash of golden light.
