Shen Ying looked at him with a surprised expression. “Is it your lover!”
“...” The Godfiend’s mouth twitched, and he replied after awhile, “You’ve misunderstood, she’s Meng Po!”
“Meng Po!” Lonemoon was stunned and his eyes widened. “You mean... the Meng Po who gives out the Meng Po soup?”
“Soup!” Shen Ying’s eyes lit up. “What soup...”
(๑◕▽◕๑)
“Shut up!” Lonemoon glared at her. “That soup will cause you to lose your memories after drinking it, it’s for reincarnation!” Did she have any common sense at all, don’t be in high spirits after hearing about food!
“Oh.”
“Memory loss?” The Godfiend faltered, then thought of something and laughed, saying, “That’s just a prank by Meng Po. The rumored Meng Po soup is just the water from the River of Forgetfulness. The River of Forgetfulness can cleanse a person’s soul, allowing it to return to its original state, so their previous lives will naturally fade away. No matter whether they drink it or not, they will still enter the River of Forgetfulness’ Samsara.
Lonemoon: “...”
Damn! So this was what the Meng Po soup was? Doesn’t that mean that all those couples in love stories who promised to not drink the Meng Po soup were idiots!
“Meng Po is one of the three Gods of Creation like me.” The Godfiend explained in a solemn voice. “Me, Meng Po and the God of Creation created the Three Realms from chaos. Meng Po was in charge of Samsara, I was in charge of light and dark as well as order, while the God of Creation created everything in the Three Realms.”
“You’re in charge of light?” Lonemoon faltered, “Aren’t you the Godfiend?” Was this a joke?
“The Godfiend is just a name the demons gave me.” He continued with the same smiley expression on his face. It was just like how Meng Po was originally called the River of Forgetfulness.
“You said you wanted to look for Meng Po? What happened to her?”
“I couldn’t sense her all of a sudden!” The Godfiend sighed. “Her and I were both born because of the God of Creation’s dividing the sky and the earth. She was originally the avatar of the River of Forgetfulness and in charge of the world’s reincarnation, creating a harmonic cycle. In the past, she never left the River of Forgetfulness, but this time there has been changes to the River of Forgetfulness. The Demon World was sealed, if she personally came to the Demon World, she would be able to reconnect the River of Forgetfulness.”
“She didn’t appear.” Shen Ying finished his sentence.
The Godfiend nodded. “That’s right, that is also why I put in all this effort to combine the Celestial and Demon World.” The previous time, he had not finished saying it before they ran off. “Although Meng Po is also one of the Gods of Creation, but it might be because the River of Forgetfulness has interacted with too many living beings from the Three Realms, so she was naturally affected. Her character also changed; in the past, she would often hide, but this time is different.”
He frowned, “I am completely unable to sense her. Even the God of Creation doesn’t know where she is. You are both from an alternate world and Yi Qing has exceptional fortune. Moreover, Shen Ying... has unique abilities, perhaps you can really find her.”
“Why do we have to help you?” They had not even settled the debt from the previous time.
The Godfiend fell silent, and replied after awhile, “If Meng Po is not around, in the long-term, the River of Forgetfulness will lose control and there will be chaos in the Three Realms.” He looked at Yi Qing. “Perhaps you three don’t care, but can you really watch all the beings in the Three Realms die off just like that?”
Lonemoon was speechless, f*ck! Again with the world crisis.
“Of course, I don’t have the right to request you to do this.” The Godfiend’s tone softened and he immediately added, “How about this... No matter whether you are able to find Meng Po, I will tell you the method to connect to your world. How about it?”
“Really!” Lonemoon was stunned. There was actually a method, now he wouldn’t have to worry about leaving.
The Godfiend’s smile became even brighter as he raised a hand. “I swear to the Heavenly Dao.”
“Alright!” Lonemoon nodded and decided to trust him again. “But the Three Realms is so huge, where are we supposed to find her?” Moreover, asking a person with no sense of direction like Shen Ying to look for someone, was he really considering it?
“Meng Po will not leave the River of Forgetfulness for long periods of time.” The Godfiend said. “You only need to look for her in the River of Forgetfulness’ source. It’s simple.”
“You mean we have to leave the Celestial World?” Like hell it was simple! What was going to happen to all the wealth that he had taken so long to accumulate! “Also, where is the River of Forgetfulness’ source, it can’t be... the Underworld?” Holy shit! He was really planning to send them to hell!
“To be precise, it’s the Divine Underworld!” The Godfiend corrected him.
“Divine? Underworld?” What did he mean?
“After the Divine World left the Celestial World, we did an Immortal Ascension with the entire world, so we’re now the same world as the Underworld.”
“Ascension to the Underworld! You mean... the Underworld was initially the Three Realms...”
“Pinnacle World!” The Godfiend nodded. “The source of the River of Forgetfulness would naturally be the elite among the Three Realms.”
Lonemoon: “...”
Yi Qing: “...”
This was different from what they were taught!
A plethora of things appeared in their head. Hell, Yan Luo[1.In legends, Yan Luo is the king of Hell], the Wuchang Gui 1 and many other things. Moreover, those evil spirits that even normal cultivators could deal with were from the Pinnacle World? They could even move into other worlds!
Why did they suddenly feel like their impression of the Divine World fell to rock bottom?
“Where is the shorty?” Shen Ying suddenly asked.
“Relax, with her life frame, she’ll be fine. Her life won’t end anytime soon.” The Godfiend explained, “Moreover, she’s where you will be going.”
“Xuan Tong is in the Divine Underworld!” Lonemoon faltered. No wonder none of them had ever seen the aura on the flower, it wasn’t from the Celestial World? But why would the divine race kidnap Xuan Tong? “That’s not right, can the people from the Divine World enter the Celestial World casually?” If they could, why had the Celestial World never seen the divine race all these years!
“After you go to the Divine Underworld, you will naturally understand all these.” The Godfiend waved his hand and a white light flashed past, bobbing slowly in front of the three of them. “I cannot interfere with the Three Realms, so I cannot go there personally. If you are ready to go, use your Immortal Qi to activate this, it will bring you to the Divine Underworld. As long as you are within ten feet of Meng Po, it will glow red and I will naturally appear.”
Shen Ying stretched out her hand and took it. Lonemoon also lowered his head to look at it and his mouth twitched. As expected, it was another jade pendant! It looked exactly the same as the two pieces Hui Ling had. Did this Godfiend have an obsession for jade pendants?
“I’ll be troubling you three then.” The Godfiend’s smile became brighter as his body faded away with the entire Divine Realm.
“Wait a minute!” They were not done asking him, he could at least give them a general direction to start off.
Lonemoon still wanted to ask him some questions but the scenery in front of them had changed. They were standing in the back palace’s courtyard. Opposite them, Blackie was holding a piece of moon cake and munching it, it was assorted nuts-flavored too.
“Exalted Goddess, you’re back!” Blackie swept off the moon cake crumbs on his hand. “That was quick! What happened? What did the Godfiend say...”
“Blackie!” Shen Ying cut him off and looked at the empty plates on the table. She squinted her eyes and said, “You can go now!”
Are? 2
He had just arrived!
“Why...” He was just about to ask when Shen Ying glared at him suddenly. Blackie felt his entire body go cold and instinctively shuddered. Why was the Exalted Goddess looking at him like this?
“Demon King, please!” Yu Hong could read expressions well and started to chase him away.
Blackie was confused, but he left, turning back with every step.
“Little Hong, have I done something wrong?” He felt like he had been despised by the Exalted Goddess.
Yu Hong looked at him with a strange expression.
“Huh? What was it!”
“Sigh... It’s better for you not to know.”
“Why not?”
“The sect master hasn’t had her dinner today!”
“Huh?”
What did that mean? Explain clearly, so that I can suck up better next time!
