Chapter 1 An Liya!

"An Liya... An Liya... An Liya!"
Qiao Yu woke up with a start.

Looking at the dark surroundings, Qiao Yu rubbed his head and began to recall.

"Strange... how did I suddenly faint..."

Qiao Yu was puzzled, but when he looked up, he was immediately startled.

"Holy crap! What are you doing!"

Hermes was squatting in front of Qiao Yu, sizing him up with a smile.

"You're finally awake? You've been unconscious for three days and three nights," Hermes said gently.

"Where's An Liya? Where did she go?" Qiao Yu anxiously searched around, but there was no sign of An Liya.

"Don't worry, listen to me first. In the three days you were unconscious, you called the name An Liya 98 times," Hermes said with a smile.

"Uh... I was anxious to save her, so it's normal to call her name," Qiao Yu explained.

"And you called the name Zuo You 784 times," Hermes continued, staring at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu's heart tightened, and he instantly became nervous. He quickly changed the subject.

"Don't talk about these useless things. Tell me quickly, where did An Liya go? Otherwise, I'll gouge out my eyeballs right now!"

Hermes calmly stood up.

"Don't worry, she's safe. I used countless divine powers to save her."

Qiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was relieved that An Liya was safe.

However, Hermes then continued.

"But if you want to see her, you have to reach the Saint Realm as soon as possible. Other inheritors should come looking for you soon."

"Inheritors? Inheritors of the Underworld King?" Qiao Yu frowned slightly.

"That's right." Hermes took out a cup of cappuccino from who knows where, and then took a sip.

"An Liya... is in the Underworld?"

Qiao Yu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he asked a little cautiously. Even he didn't realize that his voice contained a strong sense of guilt.

If An Liya was really in the Underworld, and she ran into Zuo You… Qiao Yu couldn't help but shudder.

"Guess?" Hermes showed his white teeth, looking at Qiao Yu with a smile that was not a smile.

"Don't scare me..."

Qiao Yu's legs were starting to feel a little weak. An Liya went to the Underworld.

This was like when you were in elementary school, and the teacher directly mailed your failing exam paper to your parents. Who could handle that?

"Compared to An Liya, you should worry more about yourself. I'm afraid you're useless," Hermes shook his head.

Only then did Qiao Yu turn his attention to himself.

In order to save An Liya, he had lost everything this time.

Not only did he use the Heart of the Brave of a mage, but using the Youming Kaitian Quan (Netherworld Heaven-Opening Fist) twice in a row had made his hands as dry as two chicken feet, and his entire body was covered with cracked bloodstains.

After being unconscious for three days, Qiao Yu's injuries had not improved at all, but instead showed signs of worsening.

Qiao Yu was now seriously injured. Even the weakest King Realm expert could shatter his body with a single blow.

"Hehehe, Hermes~"

Qiao Yu smiled lewdly.

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Hermes drank his cappuccino and glanced at Qiao Yu with a smile that was not a smile.

"That, you saved An Liya, so my injuries... can you take care of them too?"

Qiao Yu winked at Hermes, as if his face was twitching.

"Yes, but you have to beg me," Hermes said.

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yu hugged Hermes's leg with lightning speed.

"I beg you, Brother Hermes! Waaah!"

Qiao Yu wiped his snot and tears on Hermes's suit pants.

Hermes's face turned green on the spot!

As one of the twelve main gods, few people knew that Hermes himself had extremely severe cleanliness.

Qiao Yu's behavior was undoubtedly dancing on Hermes's landmine.

"Let go! Get the hell off me!"

Hermes quickly pulled his leg away and then disappeared.

When he reappeared, Hermes had already changed into a new pair of pants.

"Brother Hermes!"

Seeing this, Qiao Yu was about to pounce on him again, but Hermes quickly dodged away.

"No, I asked you to beg, so you beg. Don't you have any dignity?" Hermes said with black lines on his forehead.

"Dignity? You're a god, what's the difference between me begging you and worshiping a god? What does this have to do with dignity?" Qiao Yu asked with a puzzled look.

Hermes: "..."

Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't seem to find any reason to refute.

"Alright, alright, come with me!"

Hermes had a headache. He didn't know what Hades was thinking when he found such a brat to be his inheritor. He would find it unlucky even if Hermes gave him away for free.

"Okay, Big Brother!"

Qiao Yu was overjoyed and quickly followed.

Hermes led Qiao Yu along the crack towards the depths. As they walked, there was a light in the depths of the Fallen God Pit crack!

Qiao Yu followed forward and discovered that the light in the depths of the Fallen God Pit was a pool that emitted light!

The mouth of the pool was about ten feet in size, and the pool water was filled with colorful light. A rich aura of life emanated from the pool water.

Just standing by the pool and taking a breath, Qiao Yu felt that the injuries on his body had improved a bit.

"What a magical pool..." Qiao Yu was amazed by the magic in front of him.

"Take off your clothes and get in," Hermes said lightly, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.

After this kid soaks in this pool, he probably won't go in again.

Alas, it was a pity that a good bathing pool was ruined like this, Hermes thought.

Qiao Yu didn't care so much and jumped into the pool naked.

Even though Hermes was a knowledgeable member of the Twelve Main Gods, his mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw Qiao Yu take off his clothes.

This guy... is he really human?

After immersing himself in the pool, Qiao Yu clearly felt that an energy he couldn't see was being absorbed by his body.

Not only the injuries from this battle, but even the old and hidden injuries that had accumulated before were slowly recovering under the nourishment of this pool.

"Hermes, what is this pool water? The healing effect is too good!" Qiao Yu said in surprise.

"This is spring water I brought from the Spring of Life. It is naturally a healing treasure for you humans."

As Hermes spoke, he walked towards Qiao Yu, took out a pair of brand new white gloves from his suit pocket and put them on.

Then, with a snap, he directly broke off Qiao Yu's two dry hands.

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

Qiao Yu was stunned.

"These two hands of yours are completely necrotic. Even the spring water of the Spring of Life cannot restore your hands. It can only allow them to grow back."

After Hermes finished speaking, he grabbed Qiao Yu's wrist through his gloves.

"Don't worry, under the nourishment of my divine power, these new hands will give you a surprise."

Hermes's warm divine power poured in, and Qiao Yu felt a itchy sensation in the area where his hands were broken.

Then, in Qiao Yu's dumbfounded gaze, the bones of his hands began to rebuild, blood vessels began to emerge, fascia began to cover, and flesh began to reappear.

In the end, a pair of slender, white hands reappeared!

These hands were as crystal clear as jade, with the most perfect proportions, as if they were the most exquisite creations of the gods. Hermes's body couldn't help but become a little illusory.

At the same time, a notification sound from the other world rang out at this moment.
