Chapter 85 Paimon's Consciousness Deprivation
"Okay, fine... take your time."
"Don't worry, Morax and I will always stand by your side. We'll face any difficulties together."
At the crucial moment, Barbatos solemnly put away the wine and earnestly patted Xunfeng on the shoulder.
"I didn't expect you to be so serious. It's really heartwarming."
"Hey, I've always been serious, haven't I, Morax?"
After speaking, Barbatos looked at Zhongli expectantly.
"Hmm... I disagree."
"Haha, Moraxken is telling the truth."
Seeing Barbatos's discomfiture, Xun Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You two brothers are ganging up on me!"
The Hall of Rebirth, another room.
"Paimon, Paimon? Didn't we agree to get up early and treat me to noodles? Why are you sleeping so soundly?"
As Ying spoke, she pouted in complaint.
After a moment of silence, Ying glanced at Paimon discreetly.
However, Paimon, who was lying to the side, did not react at all.
Even Ying seemed a little nervous about this unusual situation.
Left with no other choice, Ying had to suppress her emotions, move closer to Paimon, and gently ask her for her help.
"Paimon... what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Paimon! Wake up!"
After lightly patting Paimon's cheeks a few times, Ying pushed her back a few times.
Despite all these actions, Paimon still showed no signs of waking up.
"I hope nothing bad has happened to Paimon."
Sensing something was wrong, Ying quickly picked up Paimeng and rushed straight to Bubulu.
Meanwhile, in the sky.
"Asmodeus, don't just take someone's consciousness away like that! I'm still guiding fate, and what you're doing will disrupt its trajectory!"
"I'm sorry, Paimon, there are some things I have to risk coming to you to discuss."
"Alright, let's make this short. A day in heaven is like a year on earth!"
"Lord Tenri seems to have discovered my plan."
"Huh? This shouldn't be the case. Wasn't she asleep?"
"The master has woken up."
"This doesn't match the expected timing... Could it be that fate has taken a turn?"
"Paimon, there are some things I can only tell you, because under the heavens, all the laws of the world are controlled by the Lord of Heaven. Only you can travel freely between the heavens and the earth."
“I understand… You want to avoid her surveillance. Tell me, what information do you have?”
After saying that, Paimon approached Asmodeus with a serious expression.
After a while.
"You're cooperating with the gods on earth? Aren't you afraid they'll betray you?!"
After hearing this, Paimon's eyes widened in surprise.
"They are the rulers chosen by Heaven to govern the world. How can you cooperate with them?"
"No, they also have the idea of overthrowing Lord Tenri."
"Sigh... things have come to this, we can only keep going."
“Paimon, the seal of the God of Light is a secret that Lord Tianli is most reluctant to mention. During her slumber, I searched all over Sky Island, and I have found the answer.”
"Oh? Tell me quickly!"
"Telling you is no problem, but you must not utter a single word about it in the human world, otherwise, the will of Heaven will arrive as promised."
Liyue Harbor, Bubulu.
"Miss Ying, please rest assured, Paimon is just asleep. I just checked her pulse and found that she is simply in a deep sleep."
"Phew~ what a relief. This Paimon can sleep so soundly, it's truly ashamed of me."
"However... it seems that Paimon's consciousness is only half left."
Still uneasy, Bai Zhu revealed the truth.
"Huh? What do you mean by only half of your consciousness remaining?"
"All human actions are governed by consciousness. Even when the body dies, consciousness will still travel to a new body through the soul. Paimon's consciousness seems to have been partially stripped away."
After speaking, Bai Shu looked seriously at Paimon, whose eyes were closed.
"The beings that can arbitrarily strip away the consciousness of living beings are at least at the level of gods. This is a record I saw in an ancient book."
"Paimon and I are both law-abiding citizens. How come I don't remember ever offending any god?"
"I have no idea. In short, Paimon is just asleep, but if she never regains consciousness, then she will never come back."
After saying that, Bai Shu waved his hand, indicating that he was powerless to help.
"Alright... Thank you, Mr. Baishu. Now it's up to me to wake Paimon up myself."
After saying that, Ying, with a solemn expression, picked up Paimeng and left Bubulu without saying a word.
Liyue Port, Rebirth Hall.
As soon as Xunfeng and the others came out of the room, they saw Ying, who was covered in sweat.
"Paimon is in trouble!"
After a while.
"This really happened...?"
Looking at the panicked Ying in front of him, Morax stroked his chin seriously and fell into deep thought.
"Paimon's consciousness was stripped away by an being above the level of a god?"
Barbatos frowned in confusion.
"As far as I know, apart from Balzeb, the other seven gods are all performing their duties and there's no reason for them to have any dealings with Paimon. Besides, you haven't even met the other four gods yet."
“Hmm… Barzebu has no reason to strip Paimon of his consciousness. This is getting complicated…”
Zhongli, who was standing to the side, slowly spoke.
