Chapter 596 Listening to the Star Rabbit
Ji Lingguang watched the interaction between the man and the beast and shook his head helplessly. He was about to speak, but when his eyes swept across the ground exposed after the gray fog dissipated, he suddenly stopped.
He saw countless mosses, emitting a faint fluorescent light, stubbornly growing along the cracks in the rocks, forming a fluorescent carpet on the bottom of the dim gray world. And among the mosses, a snow-white rabbit with three long ears cautiously poked its head out.
Its ruby-like eyes clearly reflected the vibrant light of Ji Lingguang's puppet Lihuo.
"Huh?" Taotie ended his boring bickering and leaned his massive head closer to the rabbit, examining it for a long moment. A hint of uncertainty lingered in his voice, "This looks like... the auspicious beast from the legends of the last era, the 'Listening Star Rabbit'?"
However, the moment Xiaoguang saw the rabbit, he froze.
"...Snowball?!" When he saw the small silver earring on the rabbit's ear, the Puppet Blade in his hand trembled uncontrollably three times, and his voice trembled with disbelief: "This is... the rabbit I raised in my previous reincarnation!"
"I know." Ji Lingguang's voice was calm, but his attention was focused on a more subtle part of the earring - on the inside of the silver ring, there was an almost invisible word "Xuan" engraved.
He clearly remembered that this was the mark that Xuanyuan Shaoze had personally carved on Snowball in a certain reincarnation.
"Snowball..." Xiaoguang squatted down, suppressing the excitement of regaining what he had lost, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you run to a place like this?"
"Master..." Rabbit suddenly spoke, his voice filled with obvious panic, even mixed with Urobuchi's unique, uncomfortable low-frequency vibrations. "The core fluctuations deep within Urobuchi seem to be... connected to the desolate planet!"
Snowball's ears suddenly drooped, his ruby eyes filled with fear. "I should have vanished long ago. It was Emperor Xuanyuan who sealed a remnant of my soul in a corner of the Desolate Planet. Not long ago, the Desolate Planet's moon tide revived, and I woke up with it."
It hadn't finished speaking yet, but suddenly, something strange happened -
The last cloud of gray fog that was forced into a dead corner by Ji Lingguang's puppet Lihuo and was about to be completely purified suddenly disappeared out of thin air without any warning!
And where it disappeared, what appeared in its place was unexpectedly half a wrinkled, yellowed newspaper! The smell of aged ink in the newspaper was mixed with a faint hint of sandalwood, which was the familiar aura of Xuanyuan's divinity.
Ji Lingguang's pupils shrank, and he took a big step forward to pick up the half-page newspaper. The silhouette of the man in the high-end suit in the accompanying picture was exactly Xuanyuan Shaoze's signature jawline. And the most eye-catching headline in the newspaper, in bold and black, caught his eye directly:
Xuanyuan Group CEO Mysterious Disappearance
A strong sense of unease instantly gripped Ji Lingguang. He remembered that in a previous chat among the Myriad Gods, there had indeed been a mention of Xuanyuan Shaoze becoming some kind of overbearing CEO in the modern era, but this newspaper...
"Emperor Xuanyuan was swept away by the contamination of the Critical System?!" Xiaoguang's face changed drastically, and he instantly retracted the extended puppet thread. The Taotie's massive body immediately approached, warily sniffing at the strange newspaper.
"It's not the breath of pollution." Ji Lingguang's voice was unusually calm. The puppet Lihuo he controlled was still burning quietly in the corner, and the jumping flames just illuminated the huge beast eyes of Taotie.
And in the reflection of the deep pupils, a scene suddenly appeared - it was on the desolate planet, the cold and lonely Guanghan Palace was half covered by some strange frost.
"It's transmitting information," Taotie's voice suddenly dropped, as he spoke word by word. "Xuanyuan took the initiative to enter the Xuyuan Rift, using his divine consciousness to tear open a passage and send this."
He extended his claws and pressed them against the newspaper. As the pizza grease seeped into the paper, it revealed hidden runes. "These are the coordinates, pointing to the inner core of Urobuchi."
Ji Lingguang followed the fold along the edge of the newspaper. It looked like a sword, its tip pointing toward the rocks deep in the Gray Realm. There, the moss formed a fragment of the "Ode to Destiny," each note trembling slightly, as if playing a silent movement.
"I heard the voice of Emperor Xuanyuan among the stars before," Listening to the Stars Rabbit suddenly spoke, all three ears pricked up at once. "He set up a trap in the Abyss, trying to ignite all the flames..."
Xiaoguang raised his head and met the rabbit's eyes, but Ji Lingguang's movements were faster. The puppet thread in his hand had already wrapped around the silver ring of the Listening Star Rabbit. The moment he sensed the power of the Xuanyuan Godhead, the runes suddenly lit up, and countless images flooded into Ji Lingguang's mind.
Xuanyuan Shaoze, dressed in a neat black suit, carved ancient runes in his modern office. On his desk, a copy of the "Agreement on Friendly Coexistence among All Worlds" lay spread out, and next to it was a half-cup of cold milk tea.
——In the void outside the Blue Star, Xuanyuan Shaoze was lighting up the stars of the Great Xia mythology system, but when passing by the mythological stars of other civilization systems, he stopped several times, as if he was communicating with the existence of other divine systems.
——Deep in the abyss, in the turbulence of time and space called "devouring", Xuanyuan Shaoze buried another fire in the third ear of the Listening to the Star Rabbit.
"Xueqiu is right," Ji Lingguang raised his eyes and met Taotie's. "Xu Yuan's core is connected to the desolate planet, but the center that controls the pollution... is on the Conferred God Platform in the Ninth Heaven."
Taotie suddenly stood up, his tail slapping the ground nervously. "So, Xuanyuan didn't disappear on purpose?" As he said this, four figures suddenly flashed through his mind, but they disappeared in an instant.
Shouldn't those people be here at this time?
"He's playing a big game." Ji Lingguang put away the half of the newspaper, and the puppet Lihuo disappeared in his and Xiaoguang's palms. "A big game that concerns the survival of all the gods."
Xiaoguang touched Snowball's ear and said, "Then we..."
"Go to the Ninth Heaven." Ji Lingguang said firmly, "Since Xuanyuan has pointed out the direction for us, we must not let him down."
Just as they were about to leave, Snowball suddenly jumped onto Xiaoguang's shoulder, his third ear trembling slightly. "Wait! Emperor Xuanyuan left a message..."
"What?" Xiaoguang stopped, and the other man and the beast also turned sideways to look.
A golden flame floated out of Snowball's third ear and condensed into the shadow of Xuanyuan Shaoze in the air. The shadow only spoke four words, but the expressions of everyone present changed.
"The flame is lit."
