Chapter 142 Three Lives, Three Worlds (10)
Not long after Wangyou left the Bird Clan, she saw a pink figure heading towards the Bird Clan.
With a "let's watch the show" attitude, Wangyou wasn't in a hurry to leave.
"Hey, isn't this the God Zheyan, the nanny from someone else's house? Why are you in such a hurry? Is your house on fire?" Wangyou said with a sneer.
"You're asking for death!" Zheyan hadn't even found the real culprit yet when he was met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks from Wangyou. How could he possibly tolerate this?
"Wow, you're so old, don't be so short-tempered!" Wangyou easily dodged. He was a phoenix with both god and demon, and Wangyou was also a dragon with both god and demon. Moreover, he could use demonic energy freely, unlike Zheyan whose demonic energy was impossible to suppress.
Wangyou casually pulled out a brick, "I'd really like to test your abilities, you ancient phoenix!"
The result was naturally that he couldn't beat Wangyou. When Zheyan was at his peak, Wangyou and he were probably evenly matched, but now it's all because he ruined his own merits!
After only a few moves, a red light appeared in Zheyan's eyes, and faint black energy began to appear around his body. This meant that he had finished accumulating merit without realizing it, and could no longer suppress the demonic energy.
Wangyou wasn't exactly kind enough to help Zheyan calm his demonic energy, and Zheyan's performance was very unstable after being possessed by demons. So Wangyou simply treated it like walking a dog, hitting him sporadically with a brick, not in a hurry to kill him all at once.
"Look at you, you're a perfectly good ancient god, why do you have to rush to be someone's babysitter and take care of their children? Not only have you used up all your merits, but you also caused my little phoenix to almost die right after it was born. As the ancestor of the bird clan, instead of thinking about how to strengthen the bird clan, you drag your promising juniors to be foxes' mounts. What, the nine-tailed fox is a divine beast, but Bifang isn't?"
"Since you seem to enjoy finding mounts for others, and I happen to be short of one, how about you?"
Wangyou suddenly thought the idea was good, but also felt a little uncomfortable. The golden brick kept getting bigger and smaller in Wangyou's hands, clearly showing that its owner was very conflicted.
Just as Wangyou was caught in her dilemma, Donghua arrived unexpectedly.
"Hey, why are the immortals hanging in the paintings so enthusiastic now!" Wangyou said with a smile as she looked at the figure in purple robes and white hair while carrying a brick.
As for teasing Zheyan, he stopped, and as a result, the demonic energy around Zheyan spread even faster.
Seeing this, Donghua didn't speak to Wangyou anymore and left with Zheyan.
"What a deep and loyal brotherhood!"
With everyone gone and the fight over, Wangyou decided to plunder various secret realms to upgrade her space and accumulate more treasures.
Without hesitation, Wangyou turned and searched for the secret realm in the inherited memories.
As for Donghua, who sensed Zheyan's trouble as soon as he returned from his tribulation, his mood was not so pleasant. This was because during this tribulation, his magical power had only recovered to one or two tenths, and he could only barely help Zheyan suppress the demonic energy.
If Wangyou saw this, she would definitely marvel at how profound his magical power was, befitting the original chosen one of destiny.
However, Heaven no longer favors him, and his merits will one day be exhausted. I wonder if these high and mighty gods will still be able to maintain their indifferent attitude when that day comes.
As a deity, it is not wrong to meddle in affairs, but it is wrong to condone the mistakes of subordinates, to listen to only one side, and to favor one person.
My God, once you start showing favoritism, destruction is not far away. Moreover, Donghua and the others are gods who bear the fate of the world, so they cannot act according to their own whims.
The Queen Mother of the West once said: "When immortals fall in love, the Three Realms are in turmoil."
This statement does not mean that gods and immortals should be cold-hearted and indifferent to human feelings. Rather, it means that they should be able to understand but restrain themselves. They can be moved by emotions, but they cannot be sentimental. Just like some cultivators who practice the path of ruthlessness, they must first have emotions before they can be ruthless. If they are ruthless without any emotion, they will eventually bring about their own destruction.
Wangyou had truly amassed a great many Realm Pearls. Her space had expanded several times over, and it was now so vast that it seemed to stretch on forever. Wangyou knew when to stop, so she went to other secret realms to find some that she didn't have in her space and transplanted others that weren't available in those secret realms. In any case, she would ensure that the root of the problem wouldn't be severed.
Wangyou would never do something as wasteful as draining the pond to catch all the fish, because she always believed in leaving a way out for others, so that they could meet again in the future. Moreover, when Fengyu ascends to the position of Heaven and Earth, the world will still need to function.
With the space expanded and having amassed quite a few treasures, Wangyou began to ponder where to go for a stroll. After some thought, she decided to go find the Black Bear Spirit from back then, wondering how those monsters were doing now.
……
"Xiong Gang?"
"Immortal, you've arrived!"
"You've changed a lot, I almost didn't recognize you."
"This is all thanks to the Immortal who pointed out the right path back then. Look over there, those are all the little demons and monsters we took in."
"This is quite a large-scale operation, and the military formation is quite impressive!"
"This is all thanks to our strategist. He knows all this, which is why the drills are so well-organized!"
"It seems this strategist is quite talented."
"Shall I take you to see him?"
"No need, I just happened to be passing by and came to take a look. Seeing that your business is already quite well-established, I feel relieved!" Wangyou smiled and patted Xiong Gang on the shoulder. "The resources in this storage ring are for you; use them as you see fit!"
"Yes, Immortal, I will definitely urge everyone to cultivate diligently!"
"Take this token. I'll use it to contact you if I need it in the future!"
"Yes!"
"Then I'll be going now!" Wangyou said and disappeared.
"When the Heavenly Dao is restored in the future, the demon race will need a suitable leader. I need to find one!"
"Originally there should have been six realms, but now there are only five in total: the Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, the Demon Realm, the Monster Realm, and the Underworld. It's quite complete, and it has everything it should have, so there's no big problem!" Wangyou thought for a moment and then put the problem out of her mind. She decided to leave this problem to the Heavenly Dao to worry about.
Suddenly, Wangyou remembered a small Qilin she had seen in the Ghost Realm before, but she had forgotten about it. Now that she remembered, she decided to go and take a look!
Wangyou turned around and went to the underworld to find someone.
"Qing Cang, are you there?"
"What brings this deity to my underworld?"
"I remember your second son used to have a contracted Qilin with him. I want to take him away!"
"You have another plan?"
"I have a preliminary idea, but I haven't figured it out yet. However, there's only one Qilin left in the world, so we can't let the Qilin clan go extinct!"
“Alright, I’ll have Li Jing bring him here.”
Before long, Li Jing and the Fire Qilin arrived. "Little Qilin, are you willing to break your contract with him and come with me?"
"But I've been with you since I hatched, and my bloodline isn't pure; I even failed to evolve!"
"Just follow me, and all these problems will be solved!"
The fire unicorn didn't speak, but only glanced at Li Jing. Li Jing smiled and said, "Go with her, it's more promising than following me!"
Subsequently, the two peacefully dissolved their contract, and Wangyou took the Fire Qilin to a secret realm related to ancient Qilins. Originally, she planned to manually purify the Fire Qilin's bloodline and make up for its innate deficiencies, but unexpectedly, this secret manual contained many useful things about Qilins.
This saved Wangyou a lot of trouble. Then, when Wangyou and the Fire Qilin were exploring the secret realm, they unexpectedly found an egg that had not yet hatched. Judging from the color of the egg, it seemed to be a Water Qilin.
"Fire Qilin, do you have a name?"
