Chapter 254 God’s Domain 13
"Where to now, to the realm of the gods?"
With a wave of his hand, Xingye retracted Zhouyang, making Yang Le and the other person feel much more relaxed.
Having been a local spirit for thousands of years, it's still a bit strange to suddenly be using demonic energy and spiritual power.
"Return to God's Realm."
Zhou Yang's injuries cannot be delayed. The Floating Tree only grows in the Divine Realm. Where else can he go if he doesn't return to the Divine Realm?
Xingye flew extremely fast, and Yang Le and the other person would fall behind from time to time. Xingye had no choice but to use the most primitive method again, pulling each other along.
Not long after, the three flew back to the realm of the gods.
"Wow, this is the realm of the gods! It's so beautiful!"
Xingye had no time to worry about their sightseeing itinerary. She casually handed Lu Yi over to a passing Xingsi to look after him, and then pulled Yang Le towards Qingmingsi.
Whenever they passed by and encountered Xingye, they would greet her if they could speak. Yang Le truly broadened her horizons.
The Azure Deity arrived quickly, but they didn't see any groves of Floating Trees. Not to mention trees, they didn't even see a single branch. There was only a bunch of people bowing and scraping to the starry night... They must be gods.
Xingye released the daylight, which seemed to frighten the gods. After briefly explaining the cause and effect, one of the gods immediately broke off a branch of the Floating Tree. Yangle also saw this legendary Floating Tree... branch.
"So this is the legendary Floating Tree? It looks no different from the trees in our Tushan."
"Although every flower and tree is a gift from the primordial universe, the floating tree is ultimately different from ordinary things and cannot be compared with it."
A god with a full head of white hair but a youthful face came out to refute, but Yang Le glanced at him and said nothing more. She took the piece of the Floating Tree and went to rescue the people.
"Where is Yanzhi?"
"Are you looking for the Divine Lord Fenglan? The Divine Lord returned a couple of days ago and should be in the Water Realm right now."
Xingye remained silent, then stepped outside the Azure Life Bureau's divine realm and summoned the guards, giving them instructions:
"Keep an eye on these two people I brought back today, and report back if anything happens."
"Yes!"
"Let's investigate their backgrounds first."
"Subordinates take orders."
The scenery within the water realm is always this beautiful, even when it rains or the wind blows, it is still better than the unchanging scenery in the main domain.
Yan Zhi's residence was a courtyard built on the edge of a cliff, with a large tree planted beside it that had no spiritual energy or divine power; it must be something from beyond the realm.
Every flower, tree, and star here is familiar to me, because looking across the cliff from here, I can see with the naked eye her dwelling.
However, she doesn't often stay in the Water Mirror; she has rarely stayed in that room since she became a priestess.
Is Master present?
Even though there was a lively atmosphere in the courtyard, and it was obvious that someone was there without asking, Xingye still stood outside respectfully and sent out a message to inquire.
After a while, the simple outer door opened automatically, indicating that the person inside had given permission to enter, and Xingye walked in unhurriedly.
The courtyard was simply furnished, with only an outdoor table and chairs and no other decorations, just like the inner room, which was also sparsely furnished.
Feng Lan, the God of War, was known for his easygoing nature, but the courtyard where he lived was unusually quiet and cold, quite different from his outward appearance.
Xingzhi was meditating under the big tree when he saw people coming and opened his eyes.
"Xing'er is back. Did you gain anything from this trip to the Six Paths?"
His tone remained as gentle as ever, and his expression showed no sign of abnormality.
"After I entered the Six Paths, did Master ever go to the outer realms?" Xingye asked bluntly.
"Never."
Yan Zhi looked into her eyes and answered just as decisively.
"But when I returned, I did not find you."
Yan Zhi lowered his head and remained silent.
So, was that person actually you?
Yan Zhi looked at her again, his eyes devoid of any falsehood: "Who is it?"
This time, Xingye looked at him silently. His eyes were clear and unwavering, as if he truly didn't know who she was talking about.
Why go beyond the realm?
This question implicitly acknowledges that he has been to foreign lands.
Yan Zhi fell silent again, but this time he didn't lower his head. Instead, he stood up, and the two no longer stared at each other, one tall and one short.
"I often travel to other realms, which is not unusual. Why are you so fixated on this matter?"
Xingye looked at him, at the face she had seen for over ten thousand years, and her heart felt heavy with anxiety. Yanzhi's appearance and the appearance and memories of that person in the mortal world were constantly changing and intertwining.
Can you distinguish between the stars and the night sky?
They can distinguish them clearly.
The moment she jumped into the Ghost Sea, she understood.
Her heartbeat at this moment is also helping her see things clearly.
Xingye looked at his face and his eyes, and took a step, then two steps, until he was less than half a meter away from him.
Yan Zhi lowered his eyes to look at the starry night, at the answer that was about to be revealed... It was too close, this distance was not appropriate, he should step back.
Yan Zhi took a step back, and Xingye froze, no longer moving forward.
"you……"
"Xing'er, Zhouyang is still in the Qingming Division."
Yan Zhi interrupted her.
"I know."
"If Zhouyang knew, he would be heartbroken."
"……I know."
"So, Xing'er, we should go and see him."
"..."
Yan Zhi strode forward with a normal expression, passing by Xing Ye as if nothing had ever happened.
But why didn't he dare to stop and turn around to look at Xingye, who was hanging his head with an inscrutable expression?
Xingye lowered her head, looking so powerless, yet why were her hands still clenched into fists?
So this is what anger feels like. My heart feels blocked, and there's a terrible discomfort in my chest area—no, it should be...pain, a lot of pain, a lot of pain...
He clearly didn't say anything, but he still refused; his words and actions both conveyed his refusal.
Xingye suddenly turned around and looked at Yanzhi, who was getting further and further away from her. Her nose suddenly stung with tears.
"Yanzhi, you bastard!!!"
A tear slid down her cheek with those words.
God is born without tears, and that departing figure... never dared to hesitate.
……
A strange thing has recently happened in the Divine Realm, though it's hard to say whether it counts as strange or not: the inseparable Gods Feng Lan and Xing Ye, who have been together for 100,000 years, haven't appeared together for several hundred years. This is indeed a strange thing.
Even matters involving official duties were delegated to others, as she simply didn't want to get involved at all. However, it seems that Hoshino Shinji was the one who resisted more.
As for when it started, it should have been after the Sun God was rescued. These gods aren't that gossipy, otherwise they wouldn't have discovered this anomaly hundreds of years later.
Whether it's gossip or not, I still can't help but want to know the reason behind it. After all, these two great gods are very important figures in the realm. If they were to turn against each other and start fighting, wouldn't the divine realm be doomed?
The world has only been at peace for a short time now, and the war of the gods must never happen again!
So, she found someone to go and sound out the situation, but it couldn't be someone too close to the priestess. People who are close to the priestess are usually on her side. They might give her some information at first, but later they'll spill the beans to the priestess.
Unsurprisingly, Yang Le was entrusted with this important task.
After all, she was brought back by the Gods, and her background had been investigated; she was clean. Otherwise, they wouldn't have kept her in the Divine Realm for so many years.
Moreover, she usually stays in the Qingming Division treating Zhouyang when she's not busy, and she rarely sees the Divine Division, so she probably won't reveal everything.
Uh, I guess...
But when Yang Le met Xing Ye, she asked him very directly.
"Lord Xingye, the Star Lord and your people seem to be very concerned about your private affairs. What exactly happened between you and that Fenglan God? They are afraid that you two will fight and cause a big incident, so they asked me to come and ask."
Yang Le asked directly with a sincere and slightly gossipy look on her face.
Xingye calmly put down the jade slip in his hand and replied, "Tell them to rest assured, I will not fight with him, and nothing will happen to the Divine Realm."
Yang Le listlessly leaned over the desk: "That's it?"
Xingye looked at her without any emotional fluctuation: "That's it."
"Sigh, they're probably going to be disappointed."
"All I saw was your disappointment."
Yang Le pouted: "Tch, this is so boring."
After a pause, Xingye looked at her and suddenly asked:
"Come to think of it, I haven't asked you what you need the Floating Tree for yet. Are you going to save someone?"
A glint flashed in Yang Le's eyes, and her expression turned somewhat gloomy.
"No, I want it to kill people, do you believe me?"
Xingye remained expressionless: "I only govern life and death, and never interfere with the karma of others. You should go to Yan Yusi for matters of karma."
