Mo Qi quickly helped him up, "Brother Qi, don't be so formal. If you think I'm worth befriending, I think you are too. We hit it off immediately. Between friends, we don't need such pleasantries."
Qi Ao Lai nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, no more of that, no more of that."
Ling Feng also came forward to express her thanks. Mo Qi said, "Miss Ling, please don't be so polite. In fact, the reason I saved you two is not just because Brother Qi and I hit it off, but also because I couldn't bear to see a golden couple like you perish. It would be too much of a waste."
Ling Feng's face immediately turned red. She glanced quickly at Qi Ao Lai before walking away.
Mo Qi quickly gave Qi Ao Lai a meaningful look. Qi Ao Lai understood and followed her.
Meanwhile, Mo Qi continued to focus on the Creation Tree Leaf.
At this moment, the leaf began to spin in the air and then flew off into the distance, its speed increasing, seemingly about to escape everyone's sight.
The people who had been fighting immediately turned their bodies and chased after the direction the leaf was fleeing.
If they fought for so long and the leaf escaped, what would be the point of their fighting?
Mo Qi suddenly realized an opportunity had arrived!
The leaf was flying directly towards him!
The terrifying part was that the leaf was being pursued by an army of thousands, with island lords and star lords behind it, their faces contorted with ferocity, baring their teeth and roaring like thunder as they lunged forward.
A smile froze on Mo Qi's face!
He desperately wanted that leaf, but the prerequisite was that he needed to be alive to use it after obtaining it. If he got it but lost his life, what good would it be?
His thought was to wait until those people had fought each other to the death, leaving only half their lives, and then he would make his move.
However, at this moment, those people were all full of vigor, completely unharmed.
Holding the leaf at this point was tantamount to placing a knife at his own throat.
"Don't come any closer!"
Mo Qi turned and fled, running into the forest as if possessed.
After running for a while, he could still hear the sounds of shouting and killing behind him, shaking the heavens.
He looked back and saw, to his dismay, that the leaf was right behind him!
Could it be that this leaf was following him?
So he continued to run forward, looking back as he ran.
At this moment, he finally discovered with horror that the leaf was indeed following him.
This damned thing, wasn't it bullying him?
Why did it have to cling to him of all people?
At this time, Dians was also in the crowd, chasing the leaf and Mo Qi. At one point, he saw the corpse of Di Xiaodi.
Dians, with a heart full of trepidation, stepped out of the crowd. After confirming that Di Xiaodi was dead, he was overcome with grief and let out a long wail to the sky, "Who, who killed my son?"
Yu Sang ran forward and said, "It was the young man in front of the Creation Tree Leaf who killed Xiaodi!"
Dians roared in anger, "I will tear you into a million pieces to avenge my son!"
Then, he put down Di Xiaodi's body and chased after Mo Qi.
At this time, the Heavenly Emperor's ceremony for accepting his daughters had been completed. Seeing the leaf chasing Mo Qi, he couldn't help but smile, "What a strange person!"
He then turned to look at the two women, "You have lost your memories, but do you not have even a little impression of him?"
"I don't know why, but I do feel a slight sense of familiarity towards him. Moreover, I don't dislike his flippancy, ostentatiousness, and arrogance at all. It just feels natural. That's why I followed him for so long," said Snow Maiden.
"Yes, I also feel it's natural. If you weren't providing us with a temporary dwelling, we might have followed him all the way," said Linghu Xiaoxian.
"Very well, follow me, and I will make you powerful. When you are strong enough one day, I will allow you to find him," said the Heavenly Emperor.
"But, we are not sure if he is..." Snow Maiden said hesitantly.
"Then let it be whatever fate dictates. Perhaps he will come looking for you too," the Heavenly Emperor said with a smile.
At this time, Mo Qi dodged left and right, turned left and right, and the leaf also turned left and right, relentlessly pursuing him.
Mo Qi shouted, "Don't come near me, I don't like you."
But the leaf completely ignored his rejection and persistently chased him.
Mo Qi was furious. He turned, grabbed the leaf, and threw it away, "Get lost!"
After saying that, he turned and ran into the distance. However, after running not far, he felt a whistling sound behind him. When he looked back, his head immediately pounded. That annoying leaf had caught up again.
At this time, Qin Xiao, who was mixed in the crowd, after chasing for a while, suddenly felt that this person looked familiar, somewhat like Mo Qi from the Earth Star world!
Immediately, she shook her head decisively. It couldn't be him. His cultivation was too low; he couldn't have reached this world so quickly.
Shouldn't he be diligently cultivating in the Star World at this time?
Mo Qi threw the leaf away several more times, but the leaf always shamelessly chased after him.
After several tosses and turns, the crowd caught up.
Several island lords rushed to the front and, without asking any questions, launched an attack on Mo Qi.
The divine abilities of the several island lords merged into one, destroying heavens and earth, overturning seas and rivers.
Mo Qi activated the Azure Lotus Fire. The Azure Lotus Fire spun in a circle, but with a gentle touch, it shattered.
Fragments of the Azure Lotus Fire scattered, and Mo Qi's body was sent flying backward, falling dozens of feet away. He landed on the ground, seeing stars, his bones feeling as if they would fall apart.
He wished he could just lie on the ground!
However, now was not the time for slackening!
Thousands of divine abilities and spells rained down densely!
Mo Qi had no choice but to continue to empower himself with the Azure Lotus Fire.
The Azure Lotus Fire collapsed rapidly at a visible rate.
Thousands of spells emitted a powerful radiance, like surging waves in the vast ocean, creating monstrous waves that surged towards Mo Qi.
At this moment, Mo Qi was like a helpless lone boat in the churning waves, swaying precariously, about to be swallowed at any moment.
Just then, the leaf suddenly grew, abruptly covering the sky and obscuring the sun, connecting heaven and earth, forming a vast canopy. Those divine abilities struck the canopy with faint "poof, poof, poof" sounds, as if hitting cloth, and their divine power was dissolved.
The entire leaf remained unharmed and returned to its original size, drifting leisurely in front of Mo Qi, swaying as if seeking credit.
Everyone was stunned, standing in place, looking at all this in astonishment!
It seemed the treasure had found its owner!
A good bird chooses a tree to nest in; a treasure chooses a master to serve!
This person was not simple!
And Mo Qi, after his shock, began to accept it all.
He had previously felt that this treasure would be a burden to him, but now he realized that this treasure could actually protect him.
With such a powerful treasure in hand, what was he running from? What was he afraid of?
He was no longer afraid!
Let anyone with grievances come at him!
With this thought, Mo Qi held the Creation Tree Leaf in his hand, stood up, and stood sideways, a kingly aura instantly permeating the air.
At this time, Qin Xiao gradually saw Mo Qi's face clearly, and her heart was in turmoil.
Yes, it was him, it was him!
This child had truly become accomplished.
She prepared to walk out and acknowledge him.
However, after taking just one step, she retracted it.
She felt it was a bit presumptuous: did he still remember her?
They had only met once or twice, and after so many years, how could he possibly still remember her?
If she went out to acknowledge him so rashly, in front of everyone, and he didn't remember her, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
The others stood frozen in place, each with their own thoughts.
The treasure had chosen its master, and it seemed everyone could rest.
But they were unwilling. They had fought for so long, shed so much blood, and now they were supposed to give up just like that?
Moreover, it was one thing if the treasure chose a somewhat powerful person, but it had to choose someone so weak.
How could this balance the hearts of everyone?
How could this calm the restless souls within them?
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor floated in mid-air again, looking down at all beings, surveying the world, his resonant voice echoing in all directions, "I think everyone should stop here. The treasure has chosen its master, so do not force it. You cannot obtain it by force. Treasures are sentient; perhaps, even if you obtain it, it will still leave, like drawing water with a bamboo basket – all your efforts will be in vain. It would be better not to weave the basket in the first place."
Seeing that everyone still showed no signs of leaving, the Heavenly Emperor added, "I will make the decision. I bestow this Creation Divine Leaf upon him. Anyone who is not satisfied can come challenge me."
The people all shook their heads and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Dians jumped out from the crowd, looked at Mo Qi, and said with burning rage, "I don't want the treasure, but today I must kill you."
"Why?" Mo Qi felt utterly bewildered.
"Because you killed my son, Di Xiaodi," Dians said through gritted teeth, his eyes turning blood-red as if about to spew fire.
"Since that is the case, then bring it on," Mo Qi said fearlessly.
Dians formed a hand seal, " Thousand Mountains, Ten Thousand Shadows!"
Countless mountain shadows pressed down towards Mo Qi, and massive mountains fell from the sky, crashing down towards his head.
In a word, mountain bodies from all directions pressed towards him, how could he resist, how could he dodge?
It seemed, in the blink of an eye, he would be crushed into a pulp.
At this time, Snow Maiden and Linghu Xiaoxian came to the Heavenly Emperor's side and cried, "Father, quickly save him."
The Heavenly Emperor shook his head, "To save him, I need a justifiable reason. If Dians were merely trying to snatch something, I could help him. But he is avenging his son, which is only right. How can I help him? He brought this trouble upon himself; let him resolve it himself."
At this moment, Mo Qi made a few strokes in the air, and a crack appeared in the air. He shifted his body and immediately slipped into the crack, disappearing along with it.
The worried brows of Snow Maiden and Linghu Xiaoxian relaxed.
"You want to run? It's not that easy," Dians closed his eyes and sensed with his heart. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and waved his hand. A massive mountain moved abruptly, distorting the very air, creating a crack. A figure was thrown out from it, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Mo Qi fell to the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking very disheveled.
Snow Maiden and Linghu Xiaoxian became nervous again.
"Go to hell!" Dians waved his hand again, and a giant mountain suddenly crashed towards Mo Qi.
Seeing that he could not dodge, Mo Qi was at a loss.
