Chapter 69: The True God's Reappearance
But Xiao Chen's tragedy was far from over, just as he was about to bid farewell to Cheng Yaojin, another unexpected event occurred. Cheng Yaojin burst into tears and snot, crying as he expressed his desire to become Xiao Chen's subordinate. And let's not mention how thick-skinned this kid Cheng Yaojin is - whatever flowery phrases came to mind, no matter how suitable or not, were all lavished on Xiao Chen: "a jade tree in the wind", "elegant and refined", "overflowing with talent"...
"Am I that great?" Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, smiling foolishly. Under the influence of Yao Jin's optimistic mood, Xiao Chen's emotions also improved a lot, and he rarely made a joke.
"Yao Jin brothers, actually if you didn't say it, I wouldn't have known that I had so many advantages!" Xiao Chen felt that since the other party was praising him so much, refusing again would make even himself feel embarrassed.
"Great, I finally found a free meal ticket!" Seeing Xiao Chen nodding, Cheng Ya Jin also let out a sigh of relief. Just like this, after Yuexuan and Xueyan sisters mysteriously disappeared, Xiao Chen's journey added new companions again.
"Beasts are beasts, can't even do something small right!" In a place where Xiao Chen and the others couldn't detect, a man's gnashing teeth voice came through. This voice was actually not unfamiliar to us, it turned out to be that blue-clothed young man who helped the little snake transform into a giant python and claimed to be the true god. Although the blue-clothed young man had told the python that he would leave, that was just a lie. The actual truth was that the blue-clothed young man hid himself again, he wanted to see with his own eyes the guy who made him look askance get the punishment he deserved.
Blue-clothed True God's heart was filled with anger, ever since his own subordinate, Wei Bin, had been killed. The giant python had also fallen once again. Of course, for Blue-clothed True God, the deaths of these two men wouldn't cause him too much sorrow. However, the problem was that although they were incompetent, they had still been enlightened by himself. These two fools had lost consecutively to that young man, wasn't this equivalent to saying that he himself was incompetent?
The Blue-clothed True God naturally knew that Xiao Chen was the fourth messenger from the Underworld. With the powerful strength brought by the Devil's Bracelet, those two fools were not his opponents once he used the power of the Devil's Bracelet. However, it was also necessary to know that once the power of the Devil's Bracelet was used, a person would thoroughly transform into a devil.
I'd like to see! Who's more powerful, you this devil or me this true god?!
But... but these two idiots, didn't even have one who could use the power of the devil's bracelet. They were killed just like that! It's so infuriating! It's so infuriating!
But don't be too pleased! The fourth envoy of the damned underworld, no matter what, you're dead for sure today!
"I told you, Xiao Chen Gege isn't as vulnerable as you thought, are you going to lose face again?" The sarcastic voice of Xiang Yu's little maid came from beside the Blue-clothed True God.
"Little girl, how many times have I told you not to be so arrogant in front of the great True God? You must understand that your life and death are only within my thoughts!" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Blue-clothed True God. An extremely strange thing happened, Xīu Yuán little girl seemed to be slowly lifted into mid-air by an invisible force.
At this time, Xiang Yu's little girl was in mid-air, struggling with her hands and feet powerless, her expression showing unbearable pain.
"Please, True God, spare my little sister, she's just a child and doesn't understand anything." In the midst of Xiang Yu's panic, a cry of surprise came from Yue Xuan in her arms.
"A soul that doesn't even have a body dares to speak to me like this, do you believe I'll let your soul scatter?" Under the gaze of the Blue-clothed True God, the Resurrection Pearl in Xiū Yuè's arms floated out strangely. The Blue-clothed True God grasped the Resurrection Pearl with one hand and sneered unceasingly.
"You two insignificant pawns, do you now know how deep the sins you have committed are? If you don't want to be completely destroyed, then quickly confess to me and beg for mercy!" The Blue-robed True God was full of pride. This feeling of being able to arbitrarily control others' fates was truly exhilarating!
"True God, I admit that my sister and I have offended you with our words. Here, we apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness!" Under such circumstances, Yuexiang finally chose to yield.
"Hahaha!" The Azure Robed Deity burst into loud laughter.
"Damn it, what a true god, you want me to bow my head to you? Dream on!" Compared to Yuexian's tolerance, Xiangyuan little girl still bit her teeth tightly.
"Bastard!"
"Sister, don't be unreasonable. It was clearly your fault just now. Hurry up and apologize to Lord True God, seek his forgiveness!"
"I won't, even if I die, I will never surrender!"
"Alright, alright, you ignorant little brat, I'll indulge you. The Blue-robed True God was thoroughly enraged, for even a real human had never dared to be so disdainful of the great True God, let alone you two manufactured playthings."
"Huh? What's going on?" The Blue-robed True God was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but forget his anger towards this ignorant little girl. Because at this moment, another matter had completely captured his attention. The Blue-robed True God clearly saw that the young man who had once made him extremely angry was now walking step by step in his direction.
"You two wait a moment, I have something to attend to and will be right back!" Xiao Chen said to Liu Lan, while Yao Jin smiled slightly.
"Xiao Chen, what are you going to do?" Liu Lan was taken aback.
"Go do what you're supposed to do!" Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "Liu Lan, sorry!" After the extremely low and depressed words, Xiao Chen took big strides forward. After awakening in the Fantasy Sea, Xiao Chen finally remembered his mission for coming to this world. Finally, he had to face his own fate!
"Xiao Chen..." Watching Xiao Chen's figure slowly disappear into the bamboo forest, Liu Lan's emotions were very complicated at this time. Xiao Chen had recovered some of his lost memories, which had made him happy for a while. But this excitement didn't last long and disappeared soon. The Xiao Chen who was searching for his lost memories had already become somewhat inscrutable to himself.
"Are you doing what you should be doing? Not being fast is the boss, speaking with such mystery!" The only one who was still happy and carefree was Yao Jin with his rough temperament.
Although his footsteps were light, they were unusually firm. Xiao Chen, who had entered the bamboo forest, finally stopped his pace when he was less than three steps away from Lan Yuzhu. "Hello!"
"How is this possible? This guy can detect my presence without using the power of the demonic ring? But none of those previous hellish envoys were able to do that! What's going on here?" It seems that things have developed a bit beyond his expectations.
"Don't be stunned. I'm just greeting you!" Although his face was calm, Xiao Chen's heart was greatly shocked. Because Xiao Chen clearly felt that on the other person's body, a majestic aura was emitted, making people involuntarily produce a desire to prostrate themselves in worship.
"Xiao Chen gege, save me!" Seeing Xiao Chen's arrival, Xue Yan's little head shouted loudly. However, it was very strange that Xiao Chen ignored Xue Yan's cry for help.
"The fourth messenger of the underworld, how did you discover my existence?" The Azure Robed True God was also secretly shocked. This place where he had hidden his true form had already been enveloped by his own aura. In other words, this place where he currently resided was a unique realm that belonged to him alone, a world completely different from the outside. As for humans discovering his existence, aside from the ultimate strongman of humanity, Yue Shi Wu Sheng, it was impossible for anyone else.
It was before that, I had personally seen the opponent fighting with Wei Bin and Jupeng. Although this guy's defeat of those two idiots was extremely surprising to me. But it also made me understand that the opponent was just a newly awakened Fantian, but his luck was exceptionally good, he directly became a Yaoke Warrior after skipping the Yaoke Warrior stage.
But no matter how surprising it is, Youshi Warrior is just an unpopular Youshi Warrior. The Envoy of the Underworld would not have been able to discover his existence if he hadn't used the power of the Devil's Bracelet.
"A big living person standing in front of me, if I couldn't discover that, what's the difference between me and a blind man?" Xiao Chen found this extremely amusing.
"What?" was even more shocked.
"Xiao Chen gege save me!" Xiangyuan's voice, still not giving up, became even more shrill, but Xiao Chen remained unmoved.
"But if I'm not mistaken, the devil's ring on your right wrist hasn't activated yet!" The Azure Robed Deity stared intently at Xiao Chen's right wrist, where the black ring remained ancient and dull, devoid of any light.
"So you know it too. But there's one thing you're wrong about, it's not called the Devil's Ring, its real name is the Fate Ring!" The other person's words shocked Xiao Chen greatly. The Fate Ring, it seemed to be something that Cui Judge had given him when he left the underworld. And in this strange world, someone actually recognized it. Could it be that the person in front of him was one of the seven wandering spirits who escaped from the underworld? But if they were a spirit, shouldn't they exist in a vague and intangible state? So why did the other person's body give off a strong sense of real existence?
Xiao Chen remembered even more clearly that his purpose in coming to this world was to either bring these seven wandering spirits back to the underworld or thoroughly destroy them.
"Stop your wild imagination. I'm telling you, my seven brothers and I did indeed escape from the underworld, but we're no longer pitiful wandering spirits. We are true gods, all-knowing and all-powerful true gods. We are revered and worshiped by the people!" The words were laced with an unmistakable tone of pride.
"Xiao Chen gege save me!" Xuan Yuan was still in shock, but this time Xiao Chen didn't even want to bother with her.
"It's much simpler this way!" The other party's straightforward acknowledgment made Xiao Chen let out a sigh of relief.
"Sir, since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush either. I just hope you can listen to my advice and return to the underworld, this world is not a place for you to linger, please don't disturb the peace of this world!" Finally starting to fulfill his mission as an envoy of the underworld, Xiao Chen's heart was extremely nervous at this time. He didn't know if the other party could listen to his advice or not.
As expected, the Blue-robed True God was furious after hearing Xiao Chen's words. "Tell us to go back? Continue to suffer from that endless torture? What are you?" Without seeing how the Blue-robed True God made his move, Xiao Chen flew out for no reason.
Xiao Chen, who had been knocked to the ground, naturally wanted to get up, but at this moment, a strong killing intent enveloped him. In an instant, Xiao Chen felt as if his body had been frozen, and he could feel nothing except for the piercing chill and boundless coldness.
"Little one, you probably still don't know who is standing in front of you. Let me tell you, we are no longer those seven pitiful wandering spirits suffering endless torture in the underworld. Here, we are true gods, all-knowing and all-powerful gods, revered by all people. You, a mere hellhound, dare to try and take us back to the underworld? Are you worthy?"
"Let me repeat, I am not a servant of the underworld. Nor do I want to take you back to the underworld. I just hope you understand that you don't belong here and shouldn't bring unstable factors to these worlds. You seven are far too powerful for this world. Your powers are much greater than what that world can handle, and if they get out of control, all they will bring is disaster, even destruction."
Although these words were spoken by Cui Panguan, Xiao Chen deeply agreed with them. The 5,000-year history of the Huaxia nation had taught him that if a powerful force could not be effectively controlled, the final result would likely be destruction, thorough destruction.
"Little one, do you know why I've always called you the fourth messenger of the underworld? Let me tell you, it's because before you, there were already three others like you who came from the underworld with the same mission as yours. Unfortunately, those guys either relied on their insignificant strength to try and dominate, or they offered all sorts of tempting conditions to try and lure us back to the underworld again. But they underestimated us too much, and for these arrogant, self-deceiving fools, the fate that awaited them was thorough annihilation, disappearing forever from the world." By this point, the beautiful face of the Blue-robed True God had become twisted beyond recognition.
When he saw Xiao Chen's body involuntarily tremble, the Azure Robe True God deliberately paused for a moment before laughing. "Compared to those previous foolish pioneers of yours, you're not only clumsy with your words but also lack strength. What makes you think we'll obediently follow you back to the Netherworld? Do you know that if you don't behave yourself, your outcome will be even more miserable than theirs?"
