After hearing Yu Huan's words, Zhi Qing was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on her face the next second:
"Of course, if any powerful member of the Fairy Clan joins us, we will only welcome you and will definitely not refuse you."
It can be seen that the Immortal Clan is really a very "generous" race. When Yu Huan asked to join, the other party agreed so easily.
Now that the topic was opened, the details of the subsequent discussion were obviously much simpler. Considering the outsider status of Yu Huan and others and their own strength, Zhi Qing would definitely not let them start from scratch as "entry-level disciples". That would be a bit too much of an underestimation.
Therefore, after seeking the consent of Yu Huan and others, Zhi Qing directly reported to the higher-ups and invited the four of them to reside in the Xianling Palace as 'Honorary Elders of the Fifth Domain Branch Hall'.
"Each branch of the Xianling Palace has one hundred 'Honorary Elders'. These are reserved for those with their own 'powers'. Of course, since you are 'outsiders', you are also classified as such. However, the treatment you enjoy is no different from that of outsiders, so you don't need to worry too much about it."
The Xianling Clan is divided into inner and outer clans. The inner clan lives in the Xianling Island, while the outer clan is the so-called Xianling Palace. Although they are very generous to Yu Huan and others, they are newcomers after all, and Zhiqing is only a small team leader. She is definitely not qualified to bring people directly to the inner area.
"It's okay, it's fine like this, we don't mind..."
Yu Huan joined the Immortal Clan just for fun and didn't care too much about his identity, so he didn't care about Zhiqing's explanation.
Compared to this...
"Since I'm starting work, I need to prepare some welcome gifts. So I thought... I'll use the God of Shadows as a stepping stone."
Seeing Zhiqing's stunned expression, Yuhuan showed a bright smile on his face. Then he snapped his fingers, and the next second a gray-white curtain like water waves appeared beside her.
"Sigh~~~ Next, it's our stage~~"
135.Track
On a dark continent in the distant void, in a cave filled with black aura, a black figure gradually emerged in the gathering of thick fog.
"It was clearly God who came out of the altar, why…"
The man had not yet fully revealed himself, but words filled with solemnity and doubt had already been uttered from him, and there was no doubt that he was the God of Shadows who had just escaped from Sang.
He was a god specially sent by his main god to investigate the changes in the direction of the altar. He was responsible for this job because of the characteristics of the rules themselves. In fact, he had been observing secretly for some time.
During this period of time, because even the people at the Fairy Palace at the altar did not discover his relationship, the God of Shadows has always had absolute confidence in his ability to hide.
But until today, when that unknown 'god' emerged from the altar, not only did she see through him at a glance, but there was also something amiss with the other god beside her, who seemed to possess the 'force' attribute... She was actually able to tear apart his own ethereal divine body?!
The result of being obviously no match for his opponent made the God of Shadows finally choose to self-destruct his divine body and escape without saying a word, but this could not soothe the doubts in his heart. On the contrary, he remained calm at this moment and was seriously analyzing the current situation.
The reason why he was sent to monitor the altar was not only because of the Shadow God's stealthiness, but also because of his personality. His strengths were his meticulous thinking and his ability to remain absolutely calm. Even if the loss this time was somewhat heavy, in his opinion, as long as he could obtain enough intelligence, it would be meaningful.
This is also the main reason why his main god sent him to the altar.
The altar, serving as a teleportation array leading to the former homeland, had been opened many days ago. At that time, there was no doubt that many gods who chose to "return" entered it as soon as possible, hoping to avoid the pursuit of the godslayer by returning to their homeland. Some even thought of waiting until they were familiar with the rules before killing the returning gods.
This move even made some neutral factions tempted, and some even switched sides.
The only ones who are still holding on are probably the gods of the opposition. They are still at the forefront of the battle with the godslayers and are not backing down.
The Lord of Shadows was a member of the neutral faction. To be honest, after seeing the altar opened, he was moved and even thought about going back.
However, the gods also knew very well that the world had been destroyed. Not to mention whether it had been rebuilt after so many years, even if it had been rebuilt, new gods might have been born. It was no longer their 'homeland'. Many gods knew this very well.
It's just that there is still some desire and hope in my heart.
The Lord of Shadows was obviously a man with high hopes. After seeing many gods rushing into the altar, he suppressed his previous thoughts and finally chose to observe secretly for a while. Even if those returning gods really gained benefits, it didn't matter. The worst that could happen was that they would suffer some losses and get less benefits.
But this is still much better than being the first to go out into the unknown world and encounter danger.
Then he sent the God of Shadows to investigate here. The purpose was naturally to ensure that he could know at any time whether there were gods returning from the other side of the altar and what was happening there.
In fact, there are many similar dispatches among the gods. Each god naturally sent his subordinates to investigate, but unfortunately, they were all caught by the fairies because of the poor rule system or because they accidentally revealed their flaws, and then... nothing happened.
The God of Shadows was one of the better hidden ones and had managed to hold on until today, but he never expected that in the blink of an eye, it seemed as if he had completed his mission: a god actually came out of the altar that had been silent for so long, and the other party not only fought with the Fairy Palace, but even discovered his location and attacked him.
This is why the God of Shadows didn't know, because at least before this, he had always regarded the other party as one of the gods who had passed through the altar before... After all, when the altar was first opened, the gods were too excited and many beings rushed over at once, so it was impossible for him to remember the breath and rules of each god.
However, after calming down and analyzing the situation, the God of Shadows quickly discovered that something was wrong.
"Those people do have the aura of gods, but... they seem a little strange."
That was not the breath of the gods that he had felt before. Judging from the strength of the girl who transformed into a steel-like sea creature like the sea god, her strength was at least at the level of a higher god. There were not many such beings among the ancient gods, and the God of Shadows could not have been wrong.
However, after searching his memory, he did not find anyone with similar powers, not to mention the girl who saw through his disguise at a glance and was suspected to be the leader... Being able to see through his shadow law was an ability that even his own Lord God did not have.
What's worse, if it weren't for the serious loss of his own faith, even the God of Heaven and the God of Origin might not be able to see through his disguise.
The God of Shadows had absolute confidence in his disguise, but it was seen through by the other party at a single glance. Although he was not bragging, in his opinion, only beings at the level of the God of Origin or the God of Heaven could do such a thing.
But that's impossible. Among the ancient gods, there are only a few who still retain the position of God of Heaven and Law (God of Origin). As long as they are gods, it is basically impossible to remember them wrongly. Therefore, the girl definitely cannot be one of them.
If we infer this, there seems to be only one answer:
"Could it be that the other party is not an ancient god, but... a new god from the homeland?"
A muttering voice suddenly came out of his mouth, with a look of surprise and doubt as if he had guessed the truth. However, before he could find evidence to verify this, a smiling voice spoke first:
"Ah~~ I didn't expect you to actually guess it. Fortunately, fortunately..."
"?!"
Light words with a bright smile suddenly sounded from outside the cave. The sudden sound made the God of Shadows subconsciously tense up all over, and the next second his figure appeared outside the cave in the blink of an eye.
At first glance, the mountains surrounded by thick fog looked like a huge black cloud. The God of Shadows hidden in it had just emerged. When he looked up, the first thing he saw was the figure of the girl standing in the sky in front of him with a smile.
Under his feet was a red dragon that looked like a mechanical beast made of metal. The shaking of its winding body seemed to be like water waves, which kept coming from the air. The figures of the dragon and the girl were reflected like illusory phantoms.
On top of the giant dragon, a girl in a red off-shoulder windbreaker and a long skirt stood leisurely. She wore a crown with a dragon pattern on her head, her golden eyes were smiling, and her fiery red hair was casually draped behind her.
Looking into the sky, a giant red dragon was winding into a circle, setting off the girl like the sun in the sky. When the golden eyes fell on him, the God of Shadows suddenly trembled all over for some reason, and a flash of shock flashed in his heart.
This feeling... there is no evidence, and no proof is needed. With just one glance, he clearly felt it: he can't defeat the enemy and can't resist!
It was like facing the Origin God... No, it was an aura even more powerful, more vast, and more magnificent than the Origin God. It was... it was...
The pupils in the black fog seemed to shrink suddenly at this moment. The God of Shadows seemed to have guessed something but was not sure. Even the fog around him seemed to tremble constantly with the ups and downs of his mood. It took a long time before it gradually stabilized.
"How... did you find me?"
He blew up his godhood, then fled this place without a word, using the unique black mist here to completely cut off his own breath. Logically, even the Origin God shouldn't be able to find him easily in this situation, but the other party's tone was as if he had been here for a long time. Such a casual move...
"It's okay...ah, that's what you're talking about. It's nothing. I just used a little trick."
Yu Huan casually swung the object in his hand that looked like a pistol and a dragon head. He was interrupted in his exclamation, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he explained casually:
"I asked the little guys in the mirror world to search all the nearby continents for me, and then they found it."
It's just that simple. After all, there are endless monsters in the mirror world. As long as there is a mirror that can reflect light, you can enter and exit freely. It is very convenient to use it to find things.
"Mirror?"
Yu Huan's words made the God of Shadows slightly stunned, and then his eyes subconsciously moved down following the other party's eyes. The first thing he saw was in front of him... a dark swamp with a little reflection.
Although the light is dim and the water is not as clear as lake water due to the black mud in the swamp, if you look closely, you can easily find that some reflections can still be seen in it.
And from these reflections, the God of Shadows could vaguely feel that some were weak, some were powerful, constantly floating among them, like ferocious beasts ready to break out of their cages at any time.
And the person who holds the key to the cage at this moment... is right in front of him.
"So that's it..."
The gods' ability to comprehend things was quite strong. Furthermore, as gods, they were also very clear about the rules. There were always some strange and bizarre rules, and there were also worlds that could control the reflections of mirrors. Therefore, the God of Shadows was only puzzled for a moment before asking another question:
"So...what are you feeling lucky about?"
136. Spoils of War
"So...what are you feeling lucky about?"
He did not forget Yu Huan's relaxed tone. Of course, he asked this question not because of the God of Shadows' curiosity, but when he asked this question, the shadow behind him had actually begun to spread silently in all directions, gradually spreading to every corner of this continent.
"Oh, you're talking about this. I'm glad I found it."
Not noticing the other party's actions, Yu Huan continued to look at him with a smile, tapping his forehead with the Dragon Summoning Spear in his hand as if chatting, and said with a smile:
"The main reason is that I didn't expect you to be able to guess my identity. I originally just wanted to play it low-key, but you exposed me right away. It's really hard for me, isn't it?"
So she was lucky that she found out about this just because she came to her. In this way, as long as she dealt with herself, her so-called "identity" would not be exposed, right?
His heart sank slightly. The God of Shadows understood the other party's words, which further confirmed that his previous guess was undoubtedly correct. However, it was obviously his own guess, but after being confirmed at this moment, it made him feel absurd and... unbelievable.
"So you are indeed..."
He didn't say anything after that because he was afraid that he would really feel despair after learning the truth. Therefore, this time he didn't wait for Yu Huan to admit it. In order to prevent himself from completely losing the confidence to resist, without giving anyone a chance to react, a series of black spikes suddenly penetrated the black fog and rushed towards Yu Huan from all directions.
There are no blind spots.
"Shhhh~~~"
“Puff, puff, puff~~~”
The sound of bodies being pierced continued to ring out, and the girl who had just had a bright smile on her face seemed to have not expected such a change, and her expression froze in place.
The main reason was that at this moment, including the red dragon she was sitting on, the shadow thorns had pierced them inside and out. At the same time, with the continuous erosion of the black shadows, the figures of the girl and the dragon visible to the naked eye also began to turn into black shadows in the black thorns, and then were directly absorbed.
Succeeded?
He had never expected that his sudden attack would be so successful, it was so successful that it even felt incredible. However, when he felt that the opponent's breath had completely disappeared, although the God of Shadows was shocked and confused, he was greatly relieved in his heart.
"Sure enough... is this a lie?"
If it really was that kind of existence, his attack just now would be nothing but a piece of cake for the opponent. Even if he stood still, he might not be able to hurt the opponent at all. However, now he was successfully ambushed by him so easily. Sure enough... I was thinking too much.
Thinking this, the Shadow God just seemed to smile when a familiar helpless voice sounded again the next second. This time it was from... behind him?!
"No, no, no, I didn't mean to lie. Rather, as someone who... I can't lie, so your guess is correct."
"?!"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind. The relaxed tone instantly made the Shadow God's pupils shrink suddenly. The next second, without thinking, his body suddenly exploded, turning into black silk threads and began to spread in all directions. He didn't even confirm whether the figure behind him was Yu Huan.
"Huh? You're really decisive... Too bad it's useless!"
It was that familiar voice, as if it had been transmitted directly into his mind. This caused the Shadow God to be shocked to the extreme. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind:
Run! Run! The farther the better!
Never pay attention to that 'homeland', even if it is an order from the Origin God (the God of Heaven), don't pay attention to it, because that is simply seeking death. That world... that world... is the world of the **owner (the Creator God)!
The shock in his heart finally turned into intense fear. The rules finally erupted without reservation. He no longer cared about the consumption of his divine power. The only thought in his mind was that being able to escape with a trace of consciousness was already a luxury.
As long as there was a slight possibility, even if he had to sleep for tens of millions of years, it would be a win for him. After all, his opponent was...
"Hey~~~"
"Ding~~~"
However, the reason why extravagant hope is extravagant hope is because it itself is the so-called hope that is almost impossible among extravagant hopes.
When the low bell sounded from nowhere and rang in his ears, the God of Shadows was shocked but not surprised. Instead, something desperate happened: his body, or the countless bodies that turned into billions of black threads... could not move.
Yes, no matter which regular silk thread it was, it was easily frozen in place at this moment, remaining in a free state in mid-air. Even the black silk threads visible to the naked eye were densely packed throughout every inch of the air, like cracks in a still picture.
In this exquisite picture, the only thing that could move was probably the figure of a girl wearing an emerald green crown and who had changed into a green striped windbreaker and long skirt. She was slowly walking towards them from not far away, then stretched out her hand and lightly touched one of the black silk threads.
"return."
The voice sounded like gossip, but also like an order, and was accompanied by a faint smile. However, in the next second after the words were spoken, the surrounding black threads, like the sea embracing all rivers, instantly converged in the direction of that black thread.
In just a moment, the small divine body that had just transformed into billions of shadow gods appeared easily in Yu Huan's hands, and he had no way to resist.
I... am dead.
He realized the fact in an instant. At this time, the so-called mutual destruction and begging for mercy were basically a joke. As a god who had lived for so many years, they had a clear understanding of reality. Therefore, at this moment when he was caught by Yu Huan, he did not beg for mercy, but was very clear about... his own fate.
"I really like people who are self-aware, but unfortunately you are my enemy, so... I'm sorry!"
This was the last sentence the God of Shadows heard in the last second before he lost consciousness. Immediately afterwards, his consciousness completely dissipated into the small divine body.
He was just a superior god. For Yu Huan, it was not difficult to destroy him even if his clone wanted to. Therefore, after playing with him for a while, looking at the ownerless godhead in his hand that began to transform little by little under the guidance of his breath, Yu Huan immediately smiled, turned around, pulled open a curtain and walked into it.
Xianling Palace·Five Peaks Branch Palace.
"Where...did Xiao Huan go?"
They had just been discussing joining the Fairy Palace, but the other party inexplicably said something about 'membership fee' and simply opened a curtain and left. This sudden change obviously left their guide, the dark elf named Zhiqing, completely bewildered.
“Ah~~Ah~~Ah~~”
In response, Sang was the first to speak and said yes, but...
"Sorry, I'm not a beastman, so I kind of...don't understand what you're saying, little sister."
