Chapter 161 That's How It Is

So that’s how it is…

Wei Yuan looked at the drum before him, filled with resentment, seemingly wanting to devour him alive. He seemed to understand something, the corner of his mouth twitching, but his hands didn't stop. The eight-sided Han sword used an extremely clever way to dissipate the force, guiding it downwards. The two landed on the sea surface, the released power directly causing ripples to appear.

At first, they were ripples, and then they gradually spread, the power violent, stirring up large swaths of waves.

Even the tides couldn't block the drum's resentful killing intent.

Wei Yuan was really starting to lose it.

Was there anything in the world more tragic than running into a filial piety scene when trying to act like someone’s dad?

Of course, besides becoming Lü Bu’s adoptive father.

That man was a professional.

From Zhu Jiuyin's point of view, this matter was that his son had lost his qualification as a god, violated the contract with heaven, earth, and all living beings, and even killed the innocent god Bao Jiang for the elixir of immortality. He deserved to be punished.

But from Gu's perspective, it was even simpler.

No matter what, I am your son.

And you are one of the most powerful gods in the world.

Yet you allowed me to be beheaded for the sake of a mere small god, and you remained unmoved.

Wei Yuan looked at Gu, whose eyes were bloodshot, and grinned.

Sigh… Zhu Jiuyin, your parenting definitely has problems.

I know it's difficult for single gods to discipline their descendants.

But even if you had thrown him to Yao, this wouldn't have happened.

Just telling you…

Even the little fox cubs of Tushan aren't this unruly.

The Gu before him was originally just a remnant of hatred, his rationality not high to begin with. Now that he was caught in such intense emotions as anger, his judgment ability decreased again. Therefore, Wei Yuan was able to fight and exchange blows with the Gu, whose power had increased after his rage.

The sword and fingers collided, making a grating metallic sound.

The mere leakage of power could detonate huge changes in the sea.

The surging waves seemed to engulf everything, the sea breeze spiraling, stirring up dark clouds, the sky and earth a dim expanse, the sound of thunder solemn and violent, like a natural disaster. And the sound of the sword was even more shocking than the thunder, in this deep night, only the sword light tore apart that almost suffocating darkness.

Another burst of sword song.

Wei Yuan groaned, this time even the power of the Mountain God Seal was somewhat difficult to resist Gu's anger.

A burning sensation pierced through the sword, directly attacking Wei Yuan's meridians and internal organs, as if to burn his blood and organs to ashes. Then, it was directly suppressed and transformed by the aura left by Zhu Jiuyin, turning into Wei Yuan's power, making the hand holding the sword even more powerful.

Zhu Jiuyin, seeing is day, closing is night.

Day is yang, night is yin, this is the principle of yin and yang transformation.

It seems Zhu Jiuyin had some prediction of what would happen.

Wei Yuan swung the long sword in his hand, slightly confirming his position. There was still a considerable distance from here to the place agreed upon in the East Sea. He clutched his chest, pretending to be injured, his mind racing, and said slowly, "Gu, look carefully, I am not Zhu Jiuyin, but I know where Zhu Jiuyin is."

"I can take you to find him!"

Wei Yuan silently added in his heart, I absolutely did not lie in this sentence.

Gu's movements froze.

Scarlet eyes stared at Wei Yuan, thoughtfully, saying:

"You are not Him? Not Him?"

"Yes, yes…"

"Looking at it this way, you indeed do not seem like my father…"

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's just a wisp of remnant soul, not very intelligent.

Wei Yuan revealed a trustworthy big brother's smile.

Gu said slowly: "But the feeling you give me is very similar to the…cook next to King Yu."

"Are you a cook?"

Wei Yuan: "…………"

"I am not a cook."

"Then you are my father."

"But I am not your dad!"

"Then you are that cook."

The corner of Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, understanding two truths.

First, don't try to communicate with someone who is mentally fixated; you can't argue with them.

Second, the Gu before him doesn't plan to let him go.

Wei Yuan retreated instantly. Gu, having just recovered some of his aura, rapidly chased after him, frantically asking who he was. Wei Yuan pointed his fingers, and Zhang Daoling's magic sword transformed into a stream of light, attacking Gu quickly, the ringing and whistling incessant.

At the same time, he flicked his sleeves, using the art of water control to directly escape into the sea.

Gu broke free from the sword's blockade and also plunged into the seabed.

His right fist simply smashed, and the sea surface was like a piece of silk, immediately torn apart.

Diving into the seabed at an even faster speed.

Wei Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, watching the rapidly approaching Gu. His fingers moved slightly, laying down layers of qi thread like fishing nets around him, while his own speed slowed down. It seemed there was no way to bring Gu to the target area before taking action. This was the seabed, an absolutely disadvantageous environment for Gu.

Seeing Gu about to explode.

The Special Operations Team's phone could still be used under these circumstances.

Wei Yuan waited until Gu was closer to him before dialing a number.

Sending it directly.

Water Lord, commence operation.

Young Gu… await the head-on strike of the Huaiwo Water Lord.

Wei Yuan looked at the Gu, who had completely lost his judgment, and sighed in his heart.

The response of electronic tools was always so rapid.

Soon, a voice rang out in this closed, silent seabed—

"Hello, the user you are calling is in game do-not-disturb mode, please try again later…"

"Sorry, the number you dialed is…"

??!

……………………

Bottom of the Huai River.

Wu Zhiqi focused intently on the computer screen.

He had long since learned how to use water currents to create a large screen.

He was currently searching the internet for some important information he hoped and expected—

《GtA5 Perfect Freedom Strategy…》

《Introduction to Various Starry Hamster Schools, Including Skills and Weapon Selection》

《Ten Must-Play Free Mods for Mount & Blade》

He was thoughtful.

Then he clicked an x next to the newbie guide.

This seat is not human.

Wu Zhiqi was proud in his heart, and then opened another file that pleased him very much.

《Stellaris Hardest Start Challenge, Top Gods Come!》

Look at this, what is called a top god, what is called the hardest?

Only this satisfies this seat's identity as a god.

He completely didn't notice the phone placed upside down next to him.

He opened Stellaris with great interest.

………………

In the sea area, Wei Yuan awkwardly avoided the Gu beast's head-on blow, taking advantage of the situation to control the water flow with his left hand, causing Gu's speed to suddenly decrease. He himself relied on the art of water control and the Heavenly Dipper Divine Ability Fetus Transformation, successfully surviving in the deep sea. 138 reading net

Fetus Transformation, known as flying birds and divine beasts, exhausting the path of Zhou Tian's changes.

Dealing with the deep sea situation was not difficult.

In comparison, the divine abilities of the Shenzhou Daoist sect were all-encompassing. Among them, combat was just a skill for eliminating demons and protecting the Dao, only one vein among many righteous methods. As for this height, it was probably the area where those deep-sea fish would feel 'anyway, no one sees, let's just grow as we please,' each one growing strangely shaped.

But most of them tasted good.

Wei Yuan also understood Wu Zhiqi's current situation. He and Wu Zhiqi had agreed to take action in the East Sea area. He didn't expect that before he could return to the East Sea, the option to mock the enemy too much and prematurely start the battle would appear.

Gu was unwilling to dive to this depth.

Wei Yuan had no choice but to wait for a while.

Until Wu Zhiqi finished this game.

Immediately, he fell into some kind of contemplation—

Question: Civilization 6, Stellaris, Starry Hamsters, GtA5, Mount & Blade.

Do these games have the concept of finishing a game?

Wei Yuan had the feeling of lifting a stone and smashing it on his own foot.

Or the feeling of preparing dumplings with extra ingredients for a friend, but accidentally swallowing them himself.

Wu Zhiqi couldn't be counted on for the time being.

Otherwise, he would have to constantly go out of the deep sea to provoke Gu, filling up the hatred.

Then, he would dive into the safe zone, using this method to attract Gu's attention and guide him to the East Sea area.

Just as Wei Yuan was considering his next course of action, he suddenly noticed that the surrounding aura had undergone some kind of change. In the deep sea, a soft light appeared. He saw that it was actually a pillar with a temple style, with ancient patterns on it.

Wei Yuan suddenly felt familiar, gently stroking the patterns with his palm, frowning.

This place… he seemed to have been here before?

No, to be precise, not been here, but he had seen a similar architectural style before.

Memories surged.

It was still in Xianyang Palace. He had not yet left Shenzhou and was still the halberd attendant of the Great Qin First Emperor. After returning to Xianyang from the eastern tour, he would drink and chat with his friend Zhang Han, who was the Shaofu Ling. Once, Zhang Han sighed and said, "I am building a mausoleum for His Majesty, and the Mo Family Giant has also exhausted his efforts, but some things have not been done."

"What things?"

Zhang Han replied, "We are still missing something, something that is necessary in His Majesty's mausoleum."

"We have tried many materials, but in the end, none of them could replace that thing."

"You are accompanying His Majesty on a tour of Shenzhou. If you have the opportunity to go to sea and see something similar, be sure to bring it back to me…"

The process of recollection was interrupted, because the jade dragon pendant from the First Emperor, as a symbol of the shared wish of the world, slowly lit up with flowing light, enveloping Wei Yuan within it. At the same time, the eight-sided Han sword in his hand rang, and the falcon badge on the hilt lit up, the aura of the Great Qin Black Ice Terrace Iron Eagle Sharp Soldiers appearing.

Like the souls hidden in history stretching out their hands covered in armor, stirring up bloody pasts.

The sudden, chilling aura seemed to make the entire sea area cold.

The surrounding fish scattered.

Many of the fish here had the ability to emit light.

After they left, Wei Yuan saw that there was still an aura surging and rapidly approaching him. He slightly narrowed his eyes, looked at the Fire Fiend God Gu, who was still trying to approach this depth of the sea area, and looked at the surrounding creatures that were closing in. He gripped his sword tightly.

Ask, what can you gain when you live long enough?

The answer is,

Gain enough grievances.

Back then, Zhang Han drank his wine and said casually with a smile: "His Majesty the First Emperor shines for thousands of years. In his mausoleum, there should be a lamp that burns brightly and never goes out. I have heard that there is mermaid oil overseas. Yuan, if you have the opportunity, you can try it."

Here, he was already close to the East Sea area.
