Chapter 1299

[After Ye Yu’s careful observation.]

[This place is indeed Tongtian Pavilion.]

[Only, unlike his impression, it is prosperous and vibrant—nothing like the lifeless ruin from before.]

[Besides that, the demon gods coming and going around him seem unable to see him.]

[They joke among themselves, boasting of past feats.]

[Some even walk right past Ye Yu without giving him a single glance.]

[As if he does not exist at all.]

[This situation leaves Ye Yu baffled.]

[He can’t help lowering his head to look at his own body.]

[Only then does he suddenly realize his body is in a state of nothingness.]

[No, that’s not right—something is very wrong!]

[Rewind to just now: seeing Wei Tongbei about to force a one-for-one with him.]

[Ye Yu had nowhere left to dodge.]

[He could only crush the

Let-Heaven-Decide Talisman

in his Storage Ring.]

[This was also an “investment” Tao Hua gave Ye Yu; once used, it can randomly teleport a person to any place in the God Realm.]

[The reason Ye Yu never used it was the warning Tao Hua gave when handing it over.]

[The God Realm is not like the Lower Five Realms; there are many dangerous places here.]

[After using this talisman, perhaps you’ll land somewhere safe, or perhaps you’ll descend into a Divine Alliance—these are relatively safe zones.]

[The truly dangerous outcome is being sent into one of the God Realm’s taboo lands.]

[Even a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse who goes there faces nine deaths for one life.]

[This talisman is called the

Let-Heaven-Decide Talisman

for a reason. Whether you live depends entirely on heaven’s will; you have hardly any say in it.]

[So unless it’s absolutely necessary, do not use it.]

[Ye Yu remembered every word.]

[But there was no helping it—he ran into the madman Wei Tongbei.]

[Otherwise Ye Yu would rather never use this talisman.]

[But where on earth did it send him now?]

[Is this Tongtian Pavilion from millions of years ago, or did he enter that secret domain?]

[Ye Yu truly can’t make sense of it.]

[Just as he is thinking, a young girl streaks past in the sky.]

[Then she doubles back and stops steadily above Ye Yu.]

[Judging by her features, this girl should be the future Liu Yuenong.]

[Why only “should”? Because her eyes have changed too much.]

[The Liu Yuenong Ye Yu saw before had eyes like dead water—nothing could stir the slightest ripple.]

[That loneliness etched into the bone defied description.]

[But the current Liu Yuenong has lively, bright eyes that radiate boundless vigor.]

[The difference is enormous!]

[Uh—wait, what exactly is she looking at?]

[Ye Yu senses something off.]

[By ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ all rights, she shouldn’t be able to see him either, so why is she staring at where he is?]

[Ye Yu looks down again and sees his body shifting from nothingness to solid form.]

[Liu Yuenong barks coldly: “You—who are you? Why have you appeared in my Tongtian Pavilion?”]

[Her shout instantly draws the attention of every demon god nearby.]

[They see Ye Yu as well and immediately surround him!]

[A burly power demon rumbles: “Brazen yokai god! You dare sneak into our Tongtian Pavilion? You must be up to no good. Whoever he is—kill first, talk later!”]

[Before the words finish, the power demon hoists a fist the size of an iron pot. As he sets his stance, a thick wave of demonic aura blasts skyward, chilling the heart.]

[“Hold it!”]

[The speaker is Liu Yuenong.]

[She stops the power demon, then walks up to Ye Yu.]

[Because of the height difference, she has to look up at him.]

[“You look...familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before?”]

[At that, Ye Yu is momentarily tongue-tied, unsure how to answer.]

[He can hardly say, We haven’t met yet—only when your Tongtian Pavilion is about to fall do we meet, and I’m the Divine Alliance Lord then.]

[If he said that, the demon gods would probably beat him to death before he finished.]

[After a brief think, Ye Yu says very seriously: “I want to see the Great Sage, Guardian of the Realm, Luo Shu. There is something extremely important I must tell him alone.”]

[At the name Luo Shu, the hall falls silent at once; grave looks appear on every face.]

[Clearly, at this time Luo Shu can still keep everyone in line.]

[At its peak, it was the number two figure of Tongtian Pavilion.]

[Uh—“figure” isn’t quite precise. “Dog-person,” then!]

[The reason Ye Yu wants to see Luo Shu is simple.]

[Luo Shu’s temper is comparatively good—unlike most demons, it isn’t so hot-headed.]

[Ye Yu can try to communicate with it, sketch out what’s to come, and perhaps avert the tragic end.]

[With such merit, even if he can’t become a top figure in Tongtian Pavilion, at least his life wouldn’t be in danger, right?]

[Mm. That should work.]

[Liu Yuenong agrees to Ye Yu’s request.]

[She personally leads him to the side-hall entrance of Tongtian Pavilion. Standing outside, she cups her hands and says, “Reporting to the Great Sage: a yokai god suddenly appeared within the Divine Alliance. He says he must see you, claiming he has something important to say!”]

[No sooner do the words fall than a wave of divine power ripples out.]

[Ye Yu feels the scene shift in an instant.]

[He and Liu Yuenong are drawn into the side hall.]

[It is extremely spacious here; in the very center stands a massive dragon throne.]

[Sitting upon it is a thin figure with three heads—and all three are dog heads.]

[Two of them are absorbed in a book. The other, a pug-like head, turns slightly toward Liu Yuenong and says with great affection, “You girl—I’ve told you so many times: when you come, you don’t need to announce yourself outside. Just come straight in.”]

[“I’m your martial uncle. No need to stand on ceremony with me!”]

[“As for this kid? A mere True God-realm yokai god—what ‘important matter’ could he possibly have?”]

[“Drag him out and kill him.”]

[“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”]

[The three words echo through the empty side hall.]

[They make Ye Yu’s earlier plan feel clownishly naive.]

[Damn it, so you’re playing the bait-and-switch too?]

[Your killing intent is this strong now? You won’t even give me a chance to speak?]

[Thinking it over, Liu Yuenong also finds Luo Shu’s words reasonable, and says at once: “I will obey the Great Sage’s decree.”]
