Chapter 453 The Black Goat Cubs Invading Lin'an City
"Empty? Whose shadow is that on the tree?"
"shadow?"
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's voice, Yuanshi Tianzun also turned his head in confusion.
But after observing the withered ancient tree for a long time, He found nothing amiss.
"Did you see it wrong?"
"Can't you see it?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Qiye raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.
That's not right...
There really was a dark shadow there...
In his field of vision, under the bare branches, there was indeed a person standing. Although the distance was too far for Lin Qiye to see his face clearly, he was certain that there was a figure leaning against the tree trunk, gazing up at the brilliant starry sky.
"Let's go closer and see what's going on."
After hearing Lin Qiye's description, the two Heavenly Venerables, Yuanshi and Daode, made a decisive move and took the lead in walking forward.
"Walk slowly, so that we can react quickly if there is any emergency."
After traversing a long meadow, the three arrived at the dead tree.
"The Great Xia Primordial Lord and the Moral Lord request an audience; please, Ancestor Darkness, appear."
After standing still, the two celestial beings clasped their hands in a salute and spoke calmly.
But long after the sound faded, there was still no response from the area around the withered tree.
Lin Qiye, who was standing three or four people behind them, walked forward uncontrollably with a blank expression.
Seeing his strange behavior, Yuanshi Tianzun's face also showed a look of surprise. Almost at the same time, he reached out his hand to try to stop Lin Qiye's steps.
but........
Just as the night enveloped Lin Qiye, a mysterious fluctuation suddenly emanated, repelling the hands of the two Heavenly Venerables, Yuanshi and Daode.
Immediately afterwards, his figure gradually blurred and became transparent... disappearing into the withered tree.
"What a monster!"
"Hand over that kid Lin!!"
Upon seeing this, the two Celestial Venerables instantly flew into a rage. They took a step forward, and in a flash, they released their supreme divine power without reservation.
"Don't be nervous." Just then, the dark figure sitting under the dead tree slowly appeared beside the two of them.
"I have no ill intentions towards him..."
"Who are you?"
"I am the remnant soul of the Dark Ancestor..."
"If you are the Dark Ancestor, why would you harm a junior?"
"I already said, I meant no harm, it's just that the child had a familiar aura... which drew me out..."
Familiar smell?
The origin of darkness?
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded as if he had suddenly realized something.
He truly did not sense any malice from the Dark Ancestor, so He chose to believe.
"I've seen you before."
After a moment of silence, Anzu led the two to a stone table beneath the withered tree and seated them.
"A hundred years ago, those evil thoughts that had been entangled with us for so long reappeared in this world. Originally, we wanted to destroy our own cultivation to forcibly expel them from this universe, but unfortunately..."
"We failed..."
"When they fled to Earth, we simultaneously banished ourselves into the spacetime rift, which is how we managed to preserve a remnant of our souls."
"It was then that I saw you all..."
"What was the outcome of that battle? Was it successful?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.
"I guess we've lost..."
It's no wonder He had that expression; He truly hadn't expected it before, a hundred years ago, before the battle when the mist descended upon the world.
The Cthulhu pantheon has already had an epic battle with the ancestral gods mythology.
Judging from the Dark Ancestor's statement, Cthulhu and his monsters must have already appeared in the universe, but...
Even the mighty ancestral gods and mythical beings could not defeat them...
"So that's how it is...."
"What a pity..."
After he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the room.
"Now that Blue Star is devastated and the power of faith has been lost, it is extremely difficult for us to even maintain our own existence. I'm afraid the responsibility of driving away those monsters can only be entrusted to you."
A moment later, Anzu slowly stood up and beckoned the two Heavenly Venerables to walk into the stone formation.
"You guys come with me."
Upon hearing this, the two Celestial Venerables exchanged a glance, then rose and followed the Dark Ancestor deeper into the area.
.........
Summer.
Lin'an City, beyond the wilderness.
Ji Nian glanced at the electronic map in his hand and slowly nodded.
"Looks like this is the place..."
"Is this Chairman Ji?"
Just as she was about to contact the logistics staff who were already waiting there.
A handsome young man wearing a dark red cloak and with a long sword at his waist emerged from the mountains and forests.
"Who are you?" Ji Nian looked at the boy who appeared in front of her and asked with some doubt.
"Hello, I am Fang Mo, and I belong to the sixth reserve team of the Special Operations Division of the Great Xia Night Watchmen."
"I was dealing with a mysterious incident in Lin'an City when I received a notification from Commander Zuo that you would be building an underground shelter here, and he specifically sent me here to guide you."
"I see." Ji Nian nodded gently after hearing Fang Mo's explanation.
"Time is running out. How is the underground space development progressing?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Mo smiled slightly and led Ji Nian down the mountain valley.
"Due to the geographical environment of Lin'an City, the location of the refuge here is somewhat special."
"Special? What special method?"
"You'll see when you get there."
The two wandered through the dense forest for nearly twenty minutes before finally stopping in front of a mysterious cave.
When Jinian finally saw the heavy stone door located not far inside the cave, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Is this... an ancient tomb?"
"Well... Lin'an City... after all, it's the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, so... it's normal to have more tombs here..."
Indeed, the underground refuge site in Lin'an City was chosen near Mount Li. It should be said that when those feudal dynasties built their tombs, they not only used solid materials, but even the permafrost layer nearly 100 meters underground was compacted hundreds of times.
In addition, during this period, the Night Watchers, who possessed the Earth-type Forbidden Ruins, reinforced the surface layer of loose soil.
In this way, building an underground shelter here is equivalent to having a natural defensive barrier, which can greatly reduce the manpower and material resources required.
"Eh~!"
Although Ji Nian could roughly guess why this place had been chosen, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable about entering an ancient tomb that had been sealed for who knows how many years so openly...
"Forget it, let's hurry up and get this done..."
After much mental preparation, Jinian gritted her teeth and strode into the gloomy cave, slowly descending through the stone gate.
Seeing this, Fang Mo smiled slightly and followed Ji Nian's retreating figure, disappearing into the cave.
Brush~!
Shortly after the two entered the cave, the space in the forest suddenly distorted.
Immediately afterwards, several tentacles covered in scarlet slime emerged from the void and clung tightly to the dense ancient tree.
"Where is this?"
After the space returned to calm.
The crimson behemoth hidden in the shadows murmured with some confusion.
"It seems... Xiao An's attempt was successful..."
"He really can communicate with the Gate of Truth and teleport the cub to any place on Earth..."
"Judging from the temperature and humidity, this place... should be within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty..."
At this point, the crimson behemoth hidden in the shadows shook its enormous tentacles, instantly releasing an evil aura.
"Huh?" After sensing for a moment, the pair of scarlet beast eyes stared straight at the dark cave standing below the mountain valley.
"Down there... there seems to be a familiar presence..."
"Is it... a divine beast of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"This is truly excellent nourishment..."
Having said that, the black goat cub, which had appeared in the Great Xia territory by chance, patted its scarlet tentacles in a very human-like manner and quickly crawled towards the dark cave entrance.
"I'd like to see... what you're doing here."
.........
Ancestral Temple.
Central Square.
Apart from Lin Qiye, all the other Great Xia Gods have returned.
Of course, this also includes the two Celestial Venerables who obtained the origin of Blue Star from the Dark Clan.
"Master, do you mean that as long as we absorb these Earth's essences, we can become immune to the spiritual pollution of the Khrushchev gods?"
“That’s right, that’s what the Dark Ancestor said. Morality and I also investigated it, and this Blue Star Origin might really have miraculous effects.”
"Heavenly Venerable One, may I ask where my brother is now, and why he did not come out with you?"
"He was summoned for a talk by the Dark Ancestor; perhaps there's another opportunity."
"But......."
"It's alright. The Dark Ancestor has no ill intentions. We can just stay here and absorb the origin of Blue Star in peace."
"All right......."
Hearing this, Yang Jin couldn't press the matter any further.
He could only sit down cross-legged next to Sun Wukong and Nezha, releasing his divine power to communicate with the pure white orb of light suspended in front of them.
At the same time, Ancestor, who had settled the gods of the Great Xia, returned to the withered tree above the meadow.
A moment later, Lin Qiye's figure gradually appeared on the tree trunk.
"What's wrong with me?"
He groggily opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings with some confusion.
“The darkness within you resonated with me, and you just fell into a brief slumber.”
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Qiye turned around, looked at the blurry figure standing in front of him, and clasped his hands in a salute.
"Junior Lin Qiye greets Ancestor Ancestor."
Upon seeing this, Anzu's eyelids twitched, then he silently looked away slightly and spoke respectfully.
"No need to be so polite, I just want to ask you something."
"what's up?"
"My origin... when will you return it to me?"
"..." Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, as if he did not understand what the Dark Ancestor was saying, and asked again.
"Your origin?...The origin of darkness?"
"Yes."
"Um... I'm sorry, Senior Dark Ancestor." After roughly understanding what Dark Ancestor meant, Lin Qiye awkwardly took a half step back and said softly.
"This essence was given to me by my mother. Even if it were yours, I'm afraid I can't give it to you..."
"Mother?" Upon hearing this, Anzu glanced at the flustered Lin Qiye with a strange expression, but still didn't say anything more.
"Fine, since you want to play with it, then take it and play with it..."
"However, it seems that only one or two tenths of the source of darkness has been activated. How about I fully activate it for you?"
"Okay." Hearing this, Lin Qiye nodded subconsciously, even though he had some doubts.
As soon as he finished speaking, Anzu nodded and reached out to gently touch Lin Qiye's brow.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qiye felt his mind be filled with endless darkness, and his consciousness gradually blurred...
that's all........
He fell into a temporary slumber once again.
.........
The realm of Olympus.
An Qingyu, her body covered in scabs, slowly closed the ancient door that stood behind her.
He looked at the Black Goat, which was frantically reproducing in the distance, and seemed to be thinking about something.
'I've already taught Him a lesson. Try to behave yourself for now; I don't want to return to find only a rotting corpse.'
"You seem to be talking a lot lately..."
This means that my consciousness is gradually closing, and the day of my return... is not far off...
yes.......
Your return is not far off...
My time is running out...
An Qingyu didn't say anything more, and just walked out of the pit on her own.
He wanted to seize a portion of the authority of the Gate of Truth within this limited time.
Only in this way can we win the final battle six months later.
Only then will Great Xia have a glimmer of hope...
...........
Lin'an City.
Construction site of an underground shelter.
Commemorating the moment, blood dripping from his lips, he coldly stared at the gigantic monster baring its fangs and claws within the grayish-brown soil.
"This thing... is really disgusting..."
Not far from her, Fang Mo knelt on the ground, three hideous wounds on her chest dripping blood uncontrollably.
The long sword that he had been carrying at his waist had been knocked down and landed not far from him at some point.
He struggled to his feet, trying to get closer to the memorial, but the young black goat had no intention of giving him the chance.
With a wave of its tentacles, it sent him flying once again.
Then, looking at the memorial that was still prepared to put up a stubborn resistance, it grinned and sneered.
"Hehehe... You're the only one left..."
"Once I've dealt with you... I can finally enjoy my food in peace!"
