Chapter 293 Making a Wish
Chapter 293 Making a Wish
After bidding farewell to Huangfu Ting and the giant cactus, Yu Liu answered the call of the Reincarnation Well and returned to the God Realm.
As soon as her figure appeared in the Samsara Palace, Yu Liu sensed that something was wrong. She looked up and was startled by the scene before her.
Inside the Samsara Palace, Yu Liu met many people for the first time.
From minor deities with some fame within the Heavenly Court to the ancient Four Heavenly Emperors, the Three Pure Ones and Six Emperors, and the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, most importantly, this was the first time Yu Liu had ever seen the Three Pure Ones gathered together.
Besides Taiqing Daode Tianzun and Taishang Laojun, whom Yu Liu was most familiar with, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun were also there. Everyone's expression was solemn, and the atmosphere in the entire Samsara Palace was very strange. Yu Liu couldn't explain it. As soon as she appeared, she was met with everyone's gaze, and her heart started pounding uncontrollably. She was so nervous that her breathing slowed down.
What's going on here...?
She subconsciously looked for someone who could answer her questions, and just then she saw Yuesheng beside her. Yuesheng gave her a reassuring look, which calmed Yuliu down a bit.
Yu Liu calmed her tense breathing. The people in the hall only glanced at her when she first appeared, and most of them had already looked away, which made her feel much more at ease.
Soon, footsteps could be heard outside the Hall of Reincarnation.
Without any announcement, a figure covered in blood and exuding coldness slowly walked in—it was Ying Qing.
The usually flamboyant and colorful Goddess Qingyan was dressed in all black for once, but even so, she couldn't hide the stench of blood all over her body. Thick blood dripped from under her black robes, leaving a long trail of stains.
Behind him, Erlang Shenzhenjun, who had met Yu Liu once before, walked in with him. He had obvious small wounds on his body and a large hole in his armor, but he looked fine and did not seem to be seriously injured.
Erlang Shen was dragging a person along in his hands. The person was wearing a strange white robe and had flamboyant red hair. He was being carried by Erlang Shen and was covered in wounds, leaving long trails of blood on the floor of the Samsara Palace.
The scene was strange, yet no one uttered a sound; everyone remained silent.
Erlang Zhenjun threw the person he was carrying in one direction, and Yu Liu then noticed that there were two other people there, all bound hand and foot and covered in wounds. Yu Liu looked at them for a long time before finally recognizing them as a man and a woman. The man was none other than Hades, the Lord of the Western Underworld, who had caused her so much trouble. As for the woman, Yu Liu felt that she was very familiar, but she couldn't remember her name. However, there was no doubt that she was a Western god.
After throwing the person down, Ying Qing and Erlang Zhenjun knelt on one knee and bowed to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, the person has been brought."
Yu Liu was completely bewildered by the current situation and had no idea what was going to happen, which made her feel uneasy.
The Jade Emperor quickly waved his hand, and Ying Qing and Erlang Zhenjun stood up.
Then, many eyes turned back to Yu Liu, many of them puzzled, but a few, especially the Jade Emperor's, gazes seemed rather strange.
Yu Liu couldn't help but take a step back, startled.
"let's start."
The Jade Emperor gave the order in a calm voice, devoid of any emotion and utterly indifferent.
Everyone in the Samsara Palace clearly knew what was about to happen, except for Yu Liu, who was completely bewildered. Watching Ying Qing slowly walk towards her after the Jade Emperor gave the order, she fearfully took several steps back.
"W-What are you going to do?"
Her voice trembled slightly, and her big eyes were full of confusion, making her look utterly pitiful.
"I need to borrow you for a moment." Ying Qing said with a straight face, suppressing his emotions. He casually waved his hand, and something flew out of the Samsara Palace. Yu Liu looked closely and became even more uneasy.
That was her true form, her real form. On the small wishing platform, the base and eight pillars were carved with all things in the world. Standing between the pillars in the eight directions was a shrunken darkness, in which countless brilliant stars twinkled. It was a star map, representing the most fundamental thing in this world.
Yu Liu always felt that her original body was sometimes more popular than herself, but no matter what, the fact that her original body was being held by someone else still made her tremble uncontrollably.
Under her increasingly uneasy gaze, the wishing platform, which was quietly floating in Ying Qing's hand, began to slowly rotate. Ying Qing's slightly reddened divine power slowly flowed from his hand to the wishing platform, and a force slowly condensed on the star map in the center of the wishing platform.
The feeling of her true self being invaded was extremely unpleasant. Yu Liu frowned in discomfort and finally couldn't bear it any longer. She rushed towards Ying Qing, wanting to take back her true self.
Ying Qing dodged to the side, perfectly avoiding her. Even though Yu Liu had grown considerably, she was no match for him now; in fact, he didn't need to expend much effort to dodge her.
Yu Liu wanted to chase after her again, but she felt a sharp pain in her heart and her consciousness blurred for a moment. When she woke up again, something seemed wrong.
A purple oil-paper umbrella appeared out of thin air in his hand, with a faint bell ringing softly. His blue robe seemed to have changed as well, the wide sleeves appearing heavier, as if something was hanging from them. His mind felt like it had been stuffed with a jumble of messy data, with countless pieces of information flashing within it.
Her actions finally caused some people in the Samsara Palace to show expressions beyond calm. Apart from some newly born gods who represented the new power of the Heavenly Court, the older ones all showed wary expressions.
She felt herself chuckle softly as the oil-paper umbrella was slowly opened, held above her head, and a purple curtain descended.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This seems different from what we agreed on, Jinzi."
This time, the one who trembled three times was the Jade Emperor.
"Uh..." Cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead. His whole body stiffened, and his voice became dry: "Um... the situation has changed. I was only doing this for your own good..."
"Is that so?" Xiao Liu asked casually, and everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
"Now that the time has been moved up, aren't you afraid of running into problems?" She turned her gaze back to Ying Qing, her expression calm.
“Although this is your matter, you are his older brother. If something happens to you, I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain it to him.”
"So you have to guarantee that I won't have any problems!" Ying Qing's sharp eyes and words earned him a lot of admiration.
Xiao Liu'er froze, completely unprepared for the other party to suddenly be so shameless.
Are you trying to make things difficult for me?
With those soft words, an invisible pressure spread throughout the entire Samsara Palace.
