Chapter 2334 Relic Devourer
However, the temple is now very quiet.
He Chunhua went inside, and the guards closed the door and stood guard outside.
King Shen lit incense himself and bowed to the statue of Narakuten, saying, "Please, Your Majesty, enlighten me."
Narakuten's voice echoed in the temple at just the right moment:
"You've come about the Panlong Wasteland?"
"The Divine Lord is all-seeing." Narakuten truly knew!
"That's Mother Earth encroaching on the Panlong Wasteland."
"Earth Mother?" He Chunhua heard this name for the first time. "Could Your Majesty elaborate further?"
“The Earth Mother is a giant demon from ancient times. She slept during a period of spiritual energy depletion and only awoke a few years ago,” Naraku Tendou said. “She came specifically for the Panlong Ruins.”
He Chunhua frowned deeply: "But Panlong Ancient City and Dafanghu are connected as one. Does it want Dafanghu?"
“Then it depends on the Earth Mother’s abilities.” Naraku Ten paused. “The Earth Mother specializes in devouring various ancient city ruins and mineral veins. It is said that she was originally a guardian spirit beast of an ancient sect. After her power grew, she betrayed the sect and devoured all the immortal cultivators in the sect. The Dragon Clan once tried to intervene, but she is elusive and difficult to capture.”
A powerful demon that devours relics? There's actually such a thing in the world.
"Does it live in that ghost town?"
"Yes, every time it devours a ruin, it adds the ruin's features to its own ghost city and enjoys it as a spoil of war."
Even the gods are now unwilling to provoke the Panlong Ruins. What is the Earth Mother planning?
Thinking of this, He Chunhua suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait, hasn't it been dormant for many years? How could it know about the Panlong Ruins and the Dafanghu?"
“Of course, someone, well, a god told it.” Naraku chuckled. “The Holy Venerable Lingxu sent two celestial beings to see the Earth Mother to discuss cooperation. It seems the Earth Mother was persuaded and left Shao City.”
The Earth Mother is perfectly suited to deal with ruins.
"Discuss cooperation?" He Chunhua's political acumen was always sharp. "But what if the Panlong Ruins are really swallowed up by the Earth Mother? Wouldn't the Great Square Pot fall into its hands and the Lingxu Gods' hands?"
This is probably not what Narakuten wanted to see, is it?
"As I said, it all depends on the Earth Mother's abilities." Narakuten chuckled. "What harm would it do to us if it started fighting the Great Pot?"
It didn't affect you, but this great battle took place within the territory of Shen, and it had a significant impact on Blackwater City and Shen!
He Chunhua could only keep this thought to himself, while maintaining a respectful demeanor on the surface: "For so many years, no one has dared to even consider taking advantage of the Great Square Pot. Divine Lord, have the gods of Lingxu seen any opportunity to exploit?"
“That is natural,” Naraku Tensei said. “Everything has an end. Don’t think that the relationship between Panlong Ruins and the Great Square Pot is unbreakable forever. The fact that Lingxu Saint Venerable chose to make his move at this time must be because a new opportunity has emerged.”
A new opportunity? Could it be?
"Actually, I thought this opportunity had come before, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until now."
He Chunhua was secretly alarmed. So that's why the Heavenly Demons had repeatedly failed, but would they continue to try despite repeated failures?
"Look, what is Mother Earth's ghost city doing?"
"The corruption of Panlong Wasteland is the beginning of the Earth Mother's invasion. As you and I both know, Panlong Wasteland and Dafanghu are almost one, and the Earth Mother wants to seize control of this land first!"
Panlong Ancient City still exists on the wasteland. If the Earth Mother wants to devour it, she must first gradually encroach on its territory and weaken its power.
He Chunhua was unwilling to give up: "What should we do?"
"Do what you're supposed to do." Narakuten smiled grimly. "Neither the gods of Lingxu nor the Earth Mother can be trusted. You need to be prepared, the more prepared the better, and the faster the better."
After he finished speaking, the smoke dissipated.
He Chunhua opened the doors and windows to ventilate the room, but his mind was racing with plans.
The first person he thought of was his eldest son, He Lingchuan.
The eldest son and Dafanghu have a very special relationship. Now that Panlong Wasteland has been invaded by the Earth Mother, I wonder if the eldest son has received the news.
Furthermore, what exactly happened in the wasteland? Will the Great Pot really be taken away by the Earth Mother and the gods of Lingxu?
This is really not good news for humanity.
As soon as he stepped out of the temple, He Yue came towards him and hurriedly said, "Father, the Panlong Wasteland has undergone a change, and I want to lead a team there!"
“You shouldn’t go. Shan Youjun happens to be nearby. I will send him to garrison Blackwater City, and the Grand Preceptor will also bring reinforcements.” He Chunhua waved his hand. “The God of Destiny has instructed us to be on full alert.”
"Huh?" He Yue was taken aback. "The God of Fate knows the whole story?"
"The anomaly in Panlong Wasteland is the work of the giant demon 'Earth Mother'. The gods of Lingxu have joined forces with her to seize the Great Square Pot. Panlong Wasteland will soon be in turmoil. As the crown prince, you are not allowed to take any risks lightly!"
"Does the God of Fate have a plan?" He Yue had long known that Kshatriya and the gods of Lingxu were enemies in the divine realm. What reason did he have to stand idly by while the other side plotted to seize the Great Pot?
Then he thought again, "Wait a minute, did they reach some kind of agreement?"
"That's beyond our knowledge." He Chunhua thought to himself that it was probably true, but he still had to pretend he didn't know. "Why are you in such a hurry? Is the Great Square Pot so easy to take? The gods have coveted the Great Square Pot for many years, but have never succeeded."
He Yue scratched the back of his head, recalling his father's past setbacks at the Panlong Ruins, and couldn't help but ask, "Should we send a message to inform our elder brother?"
"Of course!" The relationship between the eldest son and Da Fanghu is unusual, and we certainly can't sit idly by. Unfortunately, distant water can't quench immediate thirst. However, it's still necessary for Shen State to inform him, "Cang Yan has cooperated with us a lot, so we should do our part in this small matter."
Hearing his grandiloquent words, He Yue touched his nose.
……
Returning to a familiar place brings a unique feeling to my heart.
When He Lingchuan returned to the Panlong Desert, it was the first time he had ever flown there on a bird demon, and the first time he had ever looked down from the sky at the road he had come from.
Now, things have changed.
At this time, the Panlong Desert almost overlapped with the Panlong World, with green grass growing, streams forming, and animals running around. The thick meadows stretched all the way to the horizon, dotted with shrubs and groves.
The once sturdy and solitary poplar trees in the desert now sway gently in the wind among the surrounding trees.
At first glance, the grass was lush and the kites were flying, a picture of beauty and tranquility. But after flying for a short while, Dong Rui pointed to the ground and said:
"How did this become black soil?"
Aunt Zhu looked further ahead: "Smoke is still rising from the boundary between the black soil and the yellow sand ahead."
He Lingchuan frowned and ordered the crane demon to circle around the area twice.
Then all three of them discovered that the black soil was gradually transforming, or rather, encroaching on the wasteland, and at a very fast pace.
