Kunlun, Southern Abyss.

Before the Gate of Nine Heavens.

The arrogant and self-possessed celestial god, Kai Ming, raised his head, staring intently at everything happening in the image.

Then, he subconsciously swept his hand over his hair, as if it had been stepped on, covered in mud from the soles of feet. His eyes were filled with a dangerous expression, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth, making this previously gentle and approachable celestial god appear dangerous.

Fully expressing the mood of a god whose head has been stomped on.

Kua Fu lowered his eyes, focusing on the ceramic cup in his hand.

As if trying to discern some grand Dao of heaven, earth, and all things, the creation and destruction of life, from the patterns on the pottery.

Xing Tian scratched his head and laughed heartily...

Laughed, but couldn't laugh anymore.

Xing Tian pondered.

His right hand held his head, trying to pull it off.

His left hand suddenly uncontrollably gripped his right wrist tightly.

Two large eyes suddenly opened on his developed pectoral muscles, desperately controlling the left hand.

The instinct of the God of War roared.

"Don't come over here!"

"You go think about this damned problem yourself."

"Don't pass the buck..."

Xing Tian wrestled with himself. The atmosphere was so awkward that one almost wanted to jump off Mount Kunlun. In fact, the reactions across the various Kunlun Mountains in the myriad realms were probably similar. The smiles on the faces of the gods slowly froze—

Who is this?

Who the hell is this?!

Imprisoning the Lady Queen Mother of the West?!

Using the Kai Ming God as a mount?!

Treating the Lu Wu God as a pet?!

And in the end, it seemed they might even brainwash them, turning them into cannon fodder?!

Especially those gods who discovered themselves in the future visions, watching themselves shout that they would follow the God Master to the death as if their brains had been kicked by a donkey. The shame of seeing their own dark history, and discovering that the dark history was being broadcast, made them wish they could smash their heads and die on the spot.

And those gods who didn't find themselves in the visions finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they could recover.

A question suddenly occurred to them.

They weren't in the future of Kunlun Mountain...

So where were they?

Cannon fodder, cannon fodder, or cannon fodder?

Thinking of this, they couldn't laugh at all.

They exchanged glances and saw the baleful aura surging in each other's eyes. The atmosphere instantly became so heavy that it was hard to breathe. A water ghost shuddered, as if seeing waves roaring and rising, one after another, the back wave pushing the front wave, wishing they could slap a certain white-haired individual to death on the beach.

The Lord of Chongwu Mountain lowered his head and pondered, then slowly said:

"I think it's time to initiate the Kunlun Extermination Order..."

"If this fiend becomes the Lord of Kunlun Mountain, my Kunlun is in danger."

"He must be诛杀之!" (zhū shā zhī - executed!)

One by one, the mountain gods and water gods of Kunlun looked at the old mountain lord and bowed slowly.

The old man said: "His body must be destroyed, his soul scattered, so that he does not exist in the ten directions of the world."

"For all eternity, he shall never be reincarnated."

Many gods agreed, filled with murderous intent.

Ask, how to solve the problem?

A civil official once answered.

If you can't solve the problem.

Then solve the guy who brought the problem.

And it will be over.

One by one, the gods stretched their hands and exercised their muscles. Although the direction of the matter might not be right, in a sense, Kunlun was indeed filled with a kind of肅殺 (sù shā - solemn and murderous) atmosphere, and it was an unconcealed baleful aura.

They respected and revered the Three Gods of Kunlun.

Now someone wants to do such a thing.

There was no need to question what they would do.

Kill that white-haired bastard!

Above the Southern Abyss of Kunlun.

Zhu Jiuyin stared deeply at this scene, then withdrew his gaze, his ancient eyes falling on Kai Ming.

Kai Ming's expression returned to indifference. He tapped the armrest with his finger, his eyes looking at Zhu Jiuyin.

The thoughts of the two gods, one in charge of the years, one overlooking the past and future in the Age of Gods, surged like tides. As for the emotional fluctuations of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Kua Fu and Xing Tian did not notice the changes in the expressions of Kai Ming and Zhu Jiuyin, nor the secret exchanges—

Zhu Jiuyin's eyes were indifferent: 'This is definitely not the real future, the future is never set.'

'It's too much.'

Kai Ming smiled coldly: 'Too deliberate, too clear, that is the biggest flaw.'

'Dull.'

In just an instant, Kai Ming and Zhulong reached their initial agreement.

Zhu Jiuyin's eyes were ancient, thoughtful.

'The Kunlun Jade Disc is an absolute divine object, but now it has been split into different worlds, its rank has declined, and it is inevitably subject to interference.'

'But even so, there is only one possibility to interfere with the jade disc in reverse.'

'I'm afraid that a Kunlun Heavenly Maiden or higher-level celestial god has been controlled by the other party. Only then can the Kunlun Jade Disc be interfered with in reverse with the power of the Heavenly Maiden.'

'I guess Wei Yuan came into contact with the other party, and then destroyed the other party's arrangement, and also angered the other party. Moreover, the other party is likely to have seen some secret of Wei Yuan himself, such as some potential representing extremely high martial power. So in the end, they decided to try to alienate Kunlun and Wei Yuan at all costs, and put the hostility of many gods on Wei Yuan...'

'This is... instigation!'

'Moreover, the other party is likely to attack Kunlun recently.'

'And Kunlun's attention is on Wei Yuan, with almost no defense.'

'Even if they are plotted against, they may put the matter on Wei Yuan.'

Kai Ming frowned, tapping the armrest.

'To deduce the future, you must follow the basic rules. The future is "real".'

'Complete falsehood cannot appear on the jade disc.'

'That is to say, everything seen in the picture is a future that is likely to happen.'

'Then, why would he attack the Queen Mother?'

Zhu Jiuyin: 'In my opinion, there are only two possibilities. First, the Queen Mother's identity is false, or rather, Wei Yuan's imprisonment of the Queen Mother of the West is itself false. Perhaps the figure in the picture is not the Queen Mother of the West, but another existence... such as Hanba to Nüba, or perhaps this is just a scheme.'

'A苦肉计(kǔ ròu jì - self-inflicted injury ruse) for some existences to see.'

'It just happened to be disclosed to us.'

'And another possibility is that the Queen Mother of the West herself is also part of the great tribulation, and is related to the great tribulation. And Wei Yuan's change must mean that the Queen Mother of the West's existence shattered something he cared about, and ultimately his temperament changed drastically.'

Kai Ming raised his eyebrows: 'Closest friends and relatives, if it wasn't that Yu's resurrection was blocked, then a beloved friend was killed.'

'And, there is a third possibility, Zhu Jiuyin...'

'The existence of the Queen Mother of the West, hindered his path.'

'He is a human, and the Queen Mother represents Kunlun.'

Kai Ming's mind transmission was mocking: 'Because the Queen Mother blocked the path he chose, so he had to remove this obstacle. In fact, when the Queen Mother of the West and Shenzhou are placed in front of that person, with his character, imprisoning the Queen Mother, gaining strength, and saving Shenzhou is almost beyond doubt. This is not accidental, but inevitable... it's just that he cherished old feelings and didn't kill her, but imprisoned her.'

'Then, who made him make such a choice...?'

'You suspect me?'

Kai Ming's mind transmission was calm: 'Heh... just curious, after all, you haven't appeared in such a great tribulation.'

'Given your relationship with him, it's hard for me not to suspect that you would deliberately induce him behind the scenes.'

'And if it was you who induced Wei Yuan to choose the path opposite Kunlun, does this mean that what you said today, "The Queen Mother of the West is one of the links in the great tribulation," is also instigating my relationship with the Queen Mother of the West?'

'What do you say? Zhu Jiuyin...'

Faced with the suddenly sharp questioning, the gray-robed man's eyes were ancient:

"If you want to suspect, of course you can."

'Those who doubt cannot prove themselves. Since you suspect, then you must produce evidence. This alone is not enough to accuse my motives. Moreover... if it was really the Queen Mother of the West's actions that caused Wei Yuan to lose something and change his temperament, then I still have a question to ask.'

'Kunlun's position is to face the great tribulation.'

'Even Lu Wu is asleep, and the Queen Mother of the West's main body has sneaked into the mortal world.'

'I admire it very much.'

'So, in the situation you preset, is there really a plan to make Wei Yuan lose certain existences? For example...'

Zhu Jiuyin's eyes were ancient, and the tea in the teacup instantly evaporated.

Two words exploded in Kai Ming's heart:

'Sacrifice!'

'When faced with an unpredictable great tribulation, one has to sacrifice certain things, even certain people, in exchange for the stability of the overall situation. This is how it is possible to make Wei Yuan, who has witnessed everything, change his temperament, and become like this, able to abandon everything for the sake of the overall situation.'

'And what was sacrificed...'

'I think it was someone who was willing to be sacrificed, and told Wei Yuan before his death, begging Wei Yuan not to resent the Queen Mother. Only in this way could Wei Yuan's temperament change drastically, but due to that person's request before his death, he ultimately only imprisoned the Queen Mother of the West.'

Kai Ming's eyes narrowed slightly: 'This is just your speculation.'

'The Queen Mother of the West cannot do such a thing.'

Zhu Jiuyin's eyes were ancient: 'What you said is also speculation.'

'It would be no benefit to me if Kunlun fell into the hands of the number one swordsman in the world.'

The two gods confronted each other for a long time.

Kai Ming's smile softened, unable to see the sharp edge just now, and sighed:

'You are still as suspicious as ever.'

'Aren't you afraid that you and I are also being instigated?'

Zhu Jiuyin responded indifferently: 'Caution is the prerequisite for stability.'

While Xing Tian and Kua Fu were confused.

Zhu Jiuyin and Kai Ming, two gods who were not known for their martial prowess in the Age of Gods, had already clashed with each other without anyone knowing. Based on the current clues, they instantly deduced a path to this future.

Then try to completely kill this path.

Although one was for the Queen Mother of the West, and the other was for Wei Yuan...

's dinner.

There is no doubt that they do not completely trust each other.

After all, in the thinking of the two, to reach this future, either the Queen Mother of the West had a problem, or Zhu Jiuyin himself had a problem with his position, and was not in the same trench as Kunlun. It was impossible to completely trust the other, but now these two possibilities were temporarily put aside by the two.

After all, there is no possibility of conflict between the two now.

Zhu Jiuyin took a sip of tea.

This time, he opened his mouth to explain to the other brutes, as an external brain organ for the ancient three great civil officials:

"This is a scheme to cut off all cooperation between Wei Yuan and the Kunlun Divine System."

Kua Fu was stunned and said, "A scheme?"

Immediately, he was overjoyed: "That is to say, this is not the future?"

Kai Ming said lightly: "Not so."

"This is also the future, but a future that is unlikely to happen, but it is not false."

"It is possible in extreme cases. Perhaps it is not the worst, but it is the kind of future that can best achieve the other party's purpose, and is a certain possibility of the future."

Xing Tian pressed his head on and showed a wise expression, saying:

"...Purpose?"

Kai Ming said: "Yes... the purpose of this scheme is almost obvious, but it cannot be broken."

"The Kunlun gods have always been lazy, respecting me, fearing Lu Wu, and being grateful to the Queen Mother of the West. Anyone who does something like the future in the picture means completely becoming the enemy of the Kunlun gods. You don't think that these gods will bow down and call the God Master after seeing such a future, do you?"

"Gods, of course, have the dignity of gods."

"This scheme is a阳谋(yáng móu - conspiracy), and it has succeeded."

"Wei Yuan is almost impossible to get the power of Kunlun... and will be hunted down by the Kunlun gods."

Kua Fu was anxious and said, "This, what should we do?"

"By the way, God Kai Ming, can't you personally come forward and explain?"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady whispered: "It's useless. In the picture, God Kai Ming and God Lu Wu were coerced by that guy, and the Queen Mother was imprisoned. That is to say, in the eyes of the current Kunlun gods, the Three Gods of Kunlun are likely to be coerced and tell lies."

"It can be said that this future is completely impossible to happen."

"But... this also means that the help Wei Yuan can get from Kunlun has been greatly weakened."

Xing Tian nodded solemnly and said: "I think so too."

Seeing the unbelieving gazes of others, Xing Tian pondered and said:

"Isn't this just that Wei Yuan's potential was seen, and then the other party had to make a阴(yīn - sneaky) move even when he was dead."

"Deliberately slapped Kunlun in the face, and then said it was Wei Yuan who did it."

"Causing Wei Yuan and Kunlun to fight each other."

"Are they planning to watch from the third side and give the two a狠的(hěn de - ruthless) blow when the time is right?"

"I understand, I understand, 老阴了(lǎo yīn le - very insidious)."

"There were a lot of this stuff back then. Before Xuanyuan and Chiyou fought, they had to join forces to deal with such people, and then the two would duel."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was about to refute.

Suddenly silent.

It seemed, it seemed...

What Xing Tian said was right?

Kua Fu opened his mouth: "This, who is so vicious..."

Kai Ming smiled and said, "Don't you know?"

Kua Fu was at a loss: "Me?"

"Yes, there is only one thing that can affect the Kunlun Jade Disc."

Kai Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhu Jiuyin's voice was flat.

Speaking at the same time:

"Hetu, Luoshu." (Names of ancient Chinese diagrams associated with divination and cosmology)

Kua Fu's pupils shrank, and his heart surged.

Zhu Jiuyin put down the teacup and said lightly: "Kai Ming, where is Wei Yuan now?"

Kai Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "The Great Wilderness North."

"Zhulong, you want to..."

The gray-robed man's face was ancient, and a smile appeared: "Just suddenly thought of it."

"Since you can still use such a scheme in the end, it seems you haven't died completely."

"Wei Yuan is back, he needs extra training."

He muttered to himself: "I haven't moved my body for a long time..."

Flicking his sleeves, he stood up.

His aura slowly condensed.

《Great Wilderness North Sutra》—Outside the northwest sea, north of the Red River, there is Mount Zhangwei.

There is a god, with a human face and a snake body and red, with straight eyes and riding, whose closing is darkness, and whose sight is light.

Not eating, not sleeping, not breathing, the wind and rain are his guests.

It is Zhu Jiuyin.

The only god who crosses the yin and yang realms, walking on Kunlun and the Great Wilderness.

Zhulong, Zhu Jiuyin!

ps: Today's second update...

Four thousand words, I originally wanted to write it more easily, but after thinking about it, I still have to explain the future of the previous chapter~ analyze it a little, and then write it more interestingly.
