Chapter 53 The Kauming Revelation

　　A knock sounded on the door.

　　After a moment, the girl in cotton slippers opened the door, and Wei Yuan walked in with a stiff face.

　　Jue poured him a cup of tea.

　　Wei Yuan held the tea, took a deep breath, and slowed his breathing.

　　I'm not nervous, not nervous.

　　I've seen everything. I even drew my sword against Gonggong.

　　I'm so brave, I have nothing to fear.

　　Tian Nu noticed that Wei Yuan's face was slightly pale and asked, "Are you... injured?"

　　"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

　　Wei Yuan had just discovered that the Mountain Lord he thought he had killed was still alive. Coupled with that oppressive aura, he had decisively drawn his sword and delivered a fierce blow. But now, recalling the moment, the Mountain Lord had desperately used his hands, stacked on top of each other, to block the blade.

　　Then, he pushed hard, allowing Wei Yuan's sword to cut down, stopping at his scapula.

　　To make such a decision in a split second of life and death, that's ruthless, even to himself.

　　If not for that instantaneous decision, even if Gonggong had acted immediately, Wei Yuan felt that his sword would have yielded greater results. However, with Gonggong there, it was already decided that Wei Yuan couldn't kill the Mountain Lord at that moment.

　　When did the Mountain Lord start sucking up to Gonggong?

　　The Mountain Lord is a tiger, belonging to the feline family.

　　Bai Ze also belongs to the feline family.

　　Could it be that all felines are good at sucking up?! Then Xiwangmu…

　　Wei Yuan recalled the white-clothed girl who transformed into human form.

　　Hiss…

　　Wei Yuan quickly shook his head.

　　He tossed out the image of Xiwangmu with her tiger face and disheveled hair from his mind, a record from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*.

　　But thinking about it carefully, the moment he drew his sword in the East Sea, after shattering Gonggong's avatar of a water dragon, and then enduring the joint attack of Fangfengshi and Hebo, still caused Wei Yuan's qi and blood to surge, resulting in some injuries. It seems that the events happening in Sakura Island are probably inseparable from the Mountain Lord.

　　Gonggong's forces…

　　Even the Merman race has been taken by Him.

　　But it's normal; isn't it natural for aquatic races to worship Gonggong?

　　While he was muttering inwardly, he looked up and saw the girl close at hand, her breath like orchids, her clear eyes serene. Wei Yuan's thoughts paused, his throat tightened, and he subconsciously leaned back, only to be met with the girl's soft voice, "Don't move."

　　"Oh…"

　　Tian Nu's palm pressed against Wei Yuan's forehead.

　　The touch was cool, with a hint of warmth.

　　An aura circulated, helping Wei Yuan to calm the backlash from the previous battle. The girl opened her eyes, with a hint of a smile, and said, "It's okay, your cultivation is very strong, the injury is not serious. In fact, you can recover quickly on your own."

　　After all, it was just a test.

　　Even Hebo and Fangfengshi didn't dare to fight in Gonggong's house.

　　Hmph, cowards.

　　The museum curator defined them inwardly.

　　A sense of pride arose inexplicably.

　　He completely ignored the possibility that the problem might be on his side. Then, regaining his composure, he looked at the girl in front of him and said, "Well, I encountered some things outside today, so I came back a little later."

　　Wei Yuan subconsciously said this, only to realize that his words were like explaining to a family member why he was late coming home, like a company slave saying he had a gathering with colleagues. His voice paused, his tone softened, and he pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Well, that, uh, the message."

　　"Yes, the message!"

　　Jue came back to her senses, her expression solemn: "I do have something I want to discuss with you, Yuan."

　　"Yes, yes, discuss."

　　"This might involve you in the affairs of Kunlun. Do you still want to know, Yuan?"

　　"Don't worry, I don't mind."

　　Wei Yuan said, "In fact, I have already had such awareness."

　　Tian Nu asked again, "Even if, in the end, you might face the hostility of the Kunlun Three Gods, including Kai Ming?"

　　Back then, giving away the Undying Flower had already angered Lu Wu.

　　If… it would be normal to face Lu Wu and Kai Ming.

　　Wei Yuan said, "Even so."

　　Jue closed her eyes and said softly, "Thank you."

　　"It's nothing, actually I was originally…"

　　"Then I will tell you, Yuan. Kai Ming Shou might have a problem."

　　"What…"

　　Wei Yuan's voice stopped abruptly, "Kai Ming Shou has a problem?"

　　"Yes, Kai Ming Shou might have a problem."

　　"Going against Kunlun is…"

　　"He is, after all, one of the Three Gods."

　　"Then the accomplice is…"

　　"A Zhao said that such a shared risk can be called an accomplice."

　　Jue looked at Wei Yuan curiously: "Why do you seem so disappointed, Yuan?"

　　"What do you think an accomplice is?"

　　Disappointed…

　　"Ah, right, right, accomplice, haha, accomplice, yes, that's it."

　　Wei Yuan's face stiffened, and then he took a sip of tea, nonchalantly changing the subject with a dry laugh. While laughing dryly and drinking tea, even though the accomplice that Jue spoke of was most likely facing danger, and he had already guessed that what he wanted was a small probability of happening, why was he disappointed?

　　However, first Gonggong, and then Kai Ming Shou.

　　Plus Shi Yi and Zhong, who are a step below them, the top powerhouses of the Age of Gods.

　　Now there's Xiwangmu again.

　　It feels like with the revival of Gonggong, many things are starting to emerge constantly. In comparison, the human race lacks top-tier combat power, or rather, the human race's combat power has never been saturated. This is the reason for the difference between short-lived and long-lived races.

　　Knowledge, experience, and skills all need time to accumulate.

　　The foundation and power of the gods, you only need to consider what would happen if those peerless heroes and wise men of the human race kept living, constantly accumulating knowledge, and you can understand it clearly. The most direct consequence…

　　Is that the knowledge to be learned in junior high and high school would have to be several times thicker.

　　After all, gods have long lifespans.

　　Even a pig, if it accumulates five thousand years of knowledge and skills, it will also become god-level.

　　Wei Yuan originally wanted to think like this.

　　But the face of Bai Ze suddenly appeared in front of him, and this strict logic was directly broken.

　　Regaining his composure, he said, "Kai Ming Shou? The celestial god corresponding to the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang."

　　"Is He a god of insight?"

　　"What happened?"

　　Wei Yuan flicked his sleeves, adding several layers of enchantment to the already existing seal placed by Jue, and incidentally took out the Chiyou Halberd and Xing Tian Axe and placed them next to him, using the aura of these two divine weapons to forcibly interfere with the secrets of heaven in this place.

　　Relatively speaking.

　　Wei Yuan has a wealth of experience in dealing with swindlers.

　　Jue told Wei Yuan everything about how she discovered the clues of Xiwangmu and how she found the stone tablet. Wei Yuan frowned: "Kai Ming Shou, has a problem…" He suddenly thought of when he finally met Xiwangmu during the Ming Dynasty, and those Taoists who bewitched Emperor Jiajing.

　　It was to force Xiwangmu to appear.

　　And Xiwangmu was lurking in the mortal world, so vigilant that she even had to transform into a human form.

　　And judging from the fact that she could be made to cry with a single knife hand...

　　When transformed into a human form, Xiwangmu's consciousness is hidden.

　　It's not that Wei Yuan didn't think that this was a bit too cautious.

　　But if the opponent is Kai Ming Shou, one of the Ten Great Gods of the Age of Gods, who holds the top-tier supernatural power of *ge yuan dong jian* (seeing through walls), then without a doubt, Xiwangmu's choice and actions back then were taken for granted. This was a trade of pieces that top powerhouses had started a thousand years ago.

　　The Twelve Yuan Chen arrived in the mortal world.

　　Appeared in Kunlun.

　　Geng Chen encountered an ambush.

　　After that, Xiwangmu disappeared.

　　The dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty was cut, and the aura of Shenzhou changed drastically.

　　Xiwangmu reappeared in the mortal world, reincarnating as a human to hide.

　　Evil ways appeared in the mortal world, interfering with the mundane world.

　　One thing after another appeared. Wei Yuan said slowly, "In any case, I support your decision, Jue. You should indeed gradually improve your strength and gradually gather the old Kunlun subordinates. At least I guess that Kai Ming Shou still cares very much about the status of the Kunlun God System."

　　"So if you have enough say in Kunlun."

　　"Then if you go to find Lu Wu, even Kai Ming Shou won't be able to attack you."

　　Wei Yuan's thoughts paused, thinking of Lu Wu, who had his fur stroked in the Kunlun trial.

　　The feel was indeed good.

　　But, too bad, he should have forgotten that dream long ago.

　　The next time we meet, we might have to fight again.

　　The feel is really good, it would be nice to let Jue feel it too. Does Lu Wu have the habit of shedding? If so, can we share some of the accumulated fur? I feel like we can completely make a doll or a pillow.

　　The rest can be sold on Taobao.

　　On it, it would be written: Made from the shedding fur of the Kunlun Main God, Lu Wu, during his childhood, personally crafted by the author of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, honest and reliable, dispels evil spirits and protects the body, evil spirits stay away.

　　We don't produce Lu Wu pillows, we are just the porters of Lu Wu pillows.

　　Wei Yuan suppressed this nonsensical thought, completely unaware that in the depths of distant Kunlun, a white-haired youth sitting on his throne, clearly meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly shivered a few times, and his white hair even became curly. He just looked at the Tian Nu in front of him and said:

　　"In any case, Jue, if you encounter any problems, you can come and talk to me."

　　"I will help you."

　　"Yeah."

　　Jue nodded, hesitated, and thought of what the girl A Zhao said about being more open, and said:

　　"However, actually, I also saw the *Hetu Luoshu*, and saw another future from it…"

　　"*Hetu Luoshu*?"

　　"What future?"

　　The Tian Nu hesitated, but still chose to be honest: "It's a future where you die, Yuan."

　　The girl tried her best to say these words in a language without personal emotions.

　　Wei Yuan was thoughtful, and couldn't help but think of various guesses in his mind. What he saw was a future where Jue died, and what Jue saw was the possibility of him dying heroically. Could it be that this *Hetu Luoshu* is also the kind of guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong, who will judge people by their appearance?

　　Wei Yuan asked, "Did you chop the *Hetu Luoshu* with a knife, Jue?"

　　"…No."

　　Wei Yuan said with emotion, "What a pity."

　　Huh???!

　　That's a divine object, what on earth are you planning to do, Yuan?

　　The girl was at a loss.

　　Wei Yuan said, "For the time being, I need to think more about it. Jue, you rest well. We'll chat in detail tomorrow." In his heart, he planned to convene a brain meeting as soon as he got back. Although the ancestor Xuanyuan's brain isn't very useful, Zhujiuyin is an old fox…

　　Is a mature, prudent, experienced, and extremely clever senior.

　　Plus Uncle Jiang, Shennong, we should be able to see more clues.

　　Wei Yuan changed his words in time in his heart.

　　As if he heard Zhujiuyin humming indifferently.

　　The curator, who secretly slandered Zhujiuyin, remained calm.

　　What is foundation? This is called foundation. Although he is usually beaten, he can still ask for help when encountering a situation.

　　Having an elder at home is like having a treasure.

　　These old bastards are as old as China itself.

　　It was just when he stood up that he said with emotion, "I didn't expect Bai Ze to be so diligent. Heh… and Shi Yi, to actually choose… Hmm? Wait?"

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Jue asked in confusion.

　　Wei Yuan's thoughts froze for a moment, and he suddenly found a blind spot, and looked at Jue:

　　"If, because my combat power is not enough, I will be scattered and destroyed if I find Shi Yi to open the great formation in the end, then what if I try it from now on? Not all at once, but slowly, using the Taoist method of soul division and the Soul-Nourishing Wood to split a wisp of my divine soul, and then summon?"

　　"If I summon those guys in one breath, I will be drained dry and die without even ashes left."

　　"What if I come one by one?"

　　"Judging from the time from now to the great tribulation, it is entirely possible to get those guys out."

　　"And the method of summoning… If there is no direction, it is unlikely that Bai Ze can get it out, but if he knows the principle, it is only a matter of time before Bai Ze gets this thing out…"

　　Wei Yuan and Tian Nu looked at each other.

　　Bai Ze's importance in their hearts exploded.

　　Although Bai Ze is useless, his essential abilities are not useless.

　　He is a 'Schrödinger's Bai Ze', also known as the Bai Ze Uncertainty Principle.

　　It is difficult to say whether he is really useless.

　　The loophole in the *Hetu Luoshu* has appeared.

　　Even the *Hetu Luoshu* cannot measure whether this guy is really useless.

　　………………

　　In the Age of Gods, the human world is surging.

　　Gonggong is revived, Kai Ming guards the Nine Heavens Gates, standing on the top of Kunlun overlooking the ages, Xiwangmu enters the human world, Zhujiuyin hides behind the scenes, the ravine of the East Sea devours all things, and Guixu is already ready to move. It seems that the situation has already been set in motion.

　　It is unknown when there will be a huge earth-shattering change that will sweep all living beings into it.

　　At the same time, in the human world.

　　In a dark room, accompanied by the gathering and eruption of light, just like in a movie where a villainous mad scientist creates a mastermind, a man slowly gets up, about thirty years old, with a well-built body, and traces of battle still faintly visible on his body, an unparalleled sharpness erupts.

　　The old man next to him was so oppressed that he couldn't breathe.

　　Only a young man suddenly burst into laughter: "Jie jie jie…"

　　"Hehe, ah ha ha ha ha!"

　　"I succeeded, I finally succeeded!"

　　Accompanied by a standard villain laugh that makes people unable to sleep.

　　The young man strode forward.

　　He stretched out his hand and shook the hand of the stern-faced man who was exuding baleful aura:

　　"Hello, comrade!"

　　"Oh no, what I mean is…"

　　"Welcome back, General Zhang Liao!"

　　Zhang Liao said blankly, "Who are you…"

　　Old Dong helplessly turned on the lights.

　　Bai Ze looked enthusiastic and said without changing his expression:

　　"I am the descendant of your boss, Cao Cao, who was lost for many years and barely survived."

　　"You can call me Cao Bai Ze!"

　　……………………

　　Wei Yuan made a decision and planned to ask Bai Ze tomorrow if he could do it.

　　He looked at the time and said, "Then I'll go back first. I'll chat about Xiwangmu's matter in detail tomorrow."

　　"Yeah."

　　Jue sent Wei Yuan out. Before leaving, the girl pursed her lips and said:

　　"But in any case, Yuan, you must promise me that you will definitely survive."

　　"If there is a crisis, you can also tell me and we will bear it together."

　　Wei Yuan nodded: "Of course."

　　"You too, Jue."

　　"Yeah."

　　"Then it's getting late, I'll go back first…"

　　Wei Yuan smiled, with warmth in his heart, and prepared to leave.

　　But the girl noticed that there were wrinkles on Wei Yuan's clothes, stepped forward, and naturally helped to pat them down.

　　*Thud*.

　　A book that was wrapped in his arms and that Wei Yuan had subconsciously forgotten fell to the ground.

　　The two lowered their heads.

　　The *hukou bu* (household registration booklet).

　　The atmosphere froze for a moment.

　　Four thousand two hundred words.
