Chapter 194 She Has Not Returned Yet (The illustrations in this chapter are quoted from the original
When the eerie, upside-down city phantom appeared above Lin Tang City, Lin Qiye and his companions happened to meet the messenger sent there by Daji—the Ninth Seat.
It was through this that they learned that the Ninth Seat was actually an undercover agent within another faction of the Ancient God Church.
"what is this?"
Lin Qiye stared intently at the illusory city in the sky, his face grim.
The Ninth Seat's face was also horribly pale: "The Second Seat told me he was purging internal personnel. Perhaps the trouble here was ordered by those two 'gods' besides the one who murmured..."
His delirious ramblings were no longer reliable; he was being manipulated like a lump of clay by Daji. However, the other two had already sensed something was wrong and hid, making it impossible for anyone to find them.
The altar's reappearance now shows that someone had definitely prepared a backup plan...
"The Altar of the God of the Underworld, the thing that summons the God of the Underworld. This place was originally set up as the Altar of the God of the Underworld... It was supposed to be shut down, but it seems to have been reopened."
The Ninth Seat sighed and looked at Lin Qiye and his group: "This time, we should be summoning Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld."
Lin Qiye frowned: "I'm very curious, they should know that the Great Xia Underworld has been rebuilt, right? Why do they still dare to respond to the summons?"
The Ninth Seat shook his head: "Our guild leader said that the Great Xia Underworld seems to be busy with something lately and can't spare the time..."
Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something, he saw the city's phantom image flash and then disappear completely before everyone's eyes.
Lin Qiye and his group: "???"
Ninth Seat: "???"
The members of the Ancient God's Church who were activating the altar not far away: "???!!!"
What the hell is going on?
We're already halfway out, and you're just disappearing?
"...Haha, he escaped?"
An Qingyu chuckled softly, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Lin Qiye:
"After all, I remember that the fragments of Fengdu in Osiris's place had already been taken away, and he was punished by the purple lightning of the saint... It shouldn't have been fully restored in such a short time..."
Thinking about it this way, I really don't dare to come and answer the summons directly.
The group had a clear idea of what was going on, but they still couldn't help being speechless.
Is Osiris really that fragile?
The god of the underworld, who was swiftly killed in the original story: ...You guys are being a bit rude...
However, despite the feint in Lintang City, Ye Fan still managed to find Lin Qiye and his group.
Ye Fan came to pick up Zhou Ping.
A few minutes ago, an altar was activated in the northern city of Takai, engulfing the entire city in mist.
"...and after testing...this time, more than three gods were summoned."
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Lin Qiye and the others realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Should we..." go too...?
Before the boy could speak, Zhou Ping stopped him: "This is something we adults should do..."
The young man glanced calmly at the children he had been taking care of for so many days, his eyes somewhat dazed, as if he saw that pure white figure again.
"You... just need to complete the challenge and wait for Little Deer to return."
Lin Qiye frowned: "What about the Great Xia gods? Commander Ye, haven't some of the Great Xia gods already returned?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "They are rebuilding the Heavenly Court, and it seems that the Underworld is also making preparations for it."
No one can spare the time, and we can't leave our posts at this time...
The divine kingdom is the source of power for all gods, which is why the Western gods have repeatedly tried to seize Fengdu.
But now the Great Xia Dynasty is facing a perilous situation...
The only solution is for humans.
"You guys just need to complete the challenge. I'm giving you a definite answer here..."
To appease the young people, Ye Fan sighed and said,
"As long as you defeat Teams 007 and 006, you will have completed this challenge and passed the assessment directly, becoming the official fifth special team."
Ye Fan glanced at the people in front of him and quietly added, "Lu Yu's absence is fine; he's still counted."
Lin Qiye and the others finally responded. They exchanged glances, then calmly uttered:
"Oh."
After Ye Fan left with Zhou Ping, Lin Qiye and the others quickly sprang into action, taking the newly joined Jiang Er directly towards their destination.
"Let's go, everyone..."
The boy watched the helicopter disappear into the distance, then turned around first.
"Let's go and cause trouble!"
"Roger that!"
"okay!"
"receive……"
…………
Things went exactly as Fuxi had predicted.
Everything changes.
Lin Qiye's mental hospital has admitted another caregiver, who has the ability to briefly glimpse the future.
When he told Lin Qiye that Zhou Ping would die, the boy pulled Merlin aside and asked the same question, only to receive the same answer.
"Is the fate of the Sword Saint truly unchangeable? Doesn't he still possess the Divine Ruins of Lu Yu? Even that can't save him?"
Merlin shook his head: "Unless one is a person without destiny, that is, someone who is not controlled by fate and transcends life and death, only then can one change such a fate..."
His fate was sealed—death was inevitable...
Even if you could be brought back to life, so what?
He recovers and dies again... but he always manages to reach the end.
Even these so-called strong people are still subject to fate and cannot escape it.
"...I have to give it a try..."
Lin Qiye shook his head.
"I have to go save him..."
We promised to wait for the deer to come home together...
No one can be absent...

"Are you going to find Zhou Ping?"
Yuan Gang, the former instructor and now the deputy captain of Squad 006, felt both annoyed and amused when he heard Lin Qiye and his group's request.
"Do you know this is ridiculous? You're not even a special team, yet you're thinking of going into that mist? Are you out of your minds?"
“We’re not a special team, but we’re the students of the Sword Saint. He taught us, so we can’t refuse to save our teacher just because we’re afraid of dying, can we?”
"Moreover, if we don't do this now, we will be haunted by it in the future, unable to overcome that insurmountable barrier between humanity and forever stuck below it..."
Yuan Gang snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on Lin Qiye with seriousness: "That realm? Lin Qiye, do you really think... you're willing to risk your lives for that realm that's not even certain yet?"
"Can……"
The boy did not back down.
"I, Lin Qiye, was almost facing the reality of the loss of all my loved ones. I survived for ten years thanks to a miracle, and then I was fortunate enough to encounter another miracle."
As the boy finished speaking, his emotions went numb for a moment, and then the image of the white-haired girl's clear eyes appeared before him again...
"Lu Yu... was a key figure in the Battle of Cangnan. She single-handedly turned the tide of the battle. In all the missions she participated in, not a single person was injured or killed. She saved them all by paying the price herself... and has not returned to this day..."
"Instructor Yuan, you can think we're afraid of dying..."
"But we have already faced countless life-or-death situations, and we are never afraid of them..."
We are all alone, with no ties to us.
We have nothing but each other.
Yuan Gang fell silent, a slight change appearing in his serious gaze.
