Chapter 1056 We Meet Again
Decades ago, a man found the entrance to Kunlun Void, and after meeting me, he requested that I forge a type of standard straight knife that would never break.
Western Queen Mother recalled, “We in Kunlun excel at forging swords, but not knives. I initially refused, but that man knelt at the gate of my Jade Pool for seven days and seven nights. Moved by his sincerity and his patriotic intentions, I agreed to forge knives for him during my spare time from sword-making.
Since then, every ten years, I would forge a batch of Star Knives and have Pearl Soul deliver them outside Kunlun Void. Up until now, there should be several thousand blades.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye couldn’t help but ask:
“Who was that man?”
“His name was Nie Jinshan.”
Nie Jinshan…
Lin Qiye murmured this name, feeling it was somewhat familiar.
Nie Jinshan?! The first Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watchers, Nie Jinshan?
While at the Night Watchers headquarters, he had read about the lives of all past Commanders-in-Chief. This Nie Jinshan was originally the leader of Great Xia’s 139 Special Biological Response Team. Shortly after the Mist descended, he established the Night Watchers based on the 139 Special Biological Response Team.
Back when the Night Watchers were just founded, Commander Nie had already found Kunlun Void and personally met the Western Queen Mother’s avatar, and even obtained the Star Knives?
No wonder the Night Watchers always emphasized that regardless of the situation, the Star Knife in hand was a reliable weapon. Even Commander Ye from years ago and the current Commander Zuo have always used this knife, and it has never broken even in battles against gods…
How could a knife forged by the Western Queen Mother herself easily break unless a Supreme God personally intervened?
Lin Qiye’s heart was filled with admiration and gratitude for Commander-in-Chief Nie.
Only at this moment did he truly realize that the portraits of past commanders hanging in the Night Watchers headquarters represented more than just a position. In their respective eras, they all used their shoulders to support the entire sky of Great Xia.
Lin Qiye’s gaze swept across the messy Dan Palace, and he spoke somewhat helplessly:
“Your Majesty, the Immortality Pill… was taken by them.”
The Western Queen Mother calmly said, “They cannot take it away.”
With a slight lift of her fingertip, the numerous pill containers scattered on the floor of the Dan Palace simultaneously rose into the air, swiftly moving through space, returning to their original positions.
In just a moment, the Dan Palace was restored to its original state.
Just then, the Western Queen Mother seemed to discover something, frowned, and her gaze fell on a dark green pill container in the corner of the Dan Palace.
With a wave of her hand, the container landed in her palm. The lid opened slightly, revealing that the container was empty. The Soul-Devouring Poison Pill that was originally stored inside had completely disappeared.
The Western Queen Mother narrowed her beautiful eyes, staring at the empty container, lost in thought.
“Your Majesty, why is the Immortality Pill container empty?” After much internal struggle, Lin Qiye finally asked this question.
The Western Queen Mother casually placed the empty dark green container back in the air and said indifferently, “The Immortality Pill has not been in the Jade Pool for two thousand years.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye’s heart skipped a beat, and a certain speculation in his mind became increasingly clear.
Immortality Pill, [Immortality], two thousand years ago…
The name of this pill was the same as Jialan’s King Void, and the time when the pill was taken perfectly coincided with when Jialan obtained [Immortality].
Was it a coincidence?
“What happened back then?” Lin Qiye asked tentatively.
The Western Queen Mother frowned slightly but did not answer his question. She merely gently rubbed the string of jade beads. If observed carefully, one could notice that the spacing between the six jade beads was somewhat strange, with a gap between two of them, as if one bead was missing.
Lin Qiye knew he had asked something he shouldn’t have, so he didn’t pursue it further. Instead, he proactively said:
“I have a matter I’d like Your Majesty to clarify.”
“Speak.”
“I have a friend named Jialan, now…”
Upon hearing the name Jialan, the Western Queen Mother’s eyes trembled slightly, though her expression remained unchanged as she continued to calmly listen to Lin Qiye’s words.
Lin Qiye explained Jialan’s abilities and the current predicament in full, then earnestly asked:
“…so, I want to know the method to awaken her early. Your Kunlun Mirror involves the power of time and space, perhaps…”
Before Lin Qiye could finish, the Western Queen Mother shook her head, “The Kunlun Mirror can only capture time and replay it. It cannot utilize such an enormous amount of time to accelerate her awakening.”
Lin Qiye fell silent.
Even the Kunlun Mirror won’t work…
“Then may I ask Your Majesty, where should I go to find a way to awaken her?”
The Western Queen Mother let out a long sigh. Those beautiful eyes gazed at Lin Qiye for a moment, then she shook her head slightly, turned around, and walked out of the Dan Palace. The hem of her gold-threaded purple divine robe swept across the ancient threshold, and the next moment, her figure disappeared without a trace.
In the vast Dan Palace, only Lin Qiye remained standing alone. He was stunned for a long while, confusion appearing in his eyes.
The Western Queen Mother’s reaction puzzled him.
If she knew, she should say so; if she didn’t know, she should say she didn’t know… Instead, she just looked at him without a word and then left. What was that about?
Lin Qiye pondered for a long time but couldn’t come up with an answer. He simply shook his head and flew directly toward the mountain peak where his guest room was located.
…
Pamir Plateau.
In the endless snowstorm, a black light burst from the void, and Loki’s figure staggered out, his black clothes already covered in blood.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked back at the nothingness behind him, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Hehe… I told you, with just one avatar, you can’t kill me… Now that all the gods of Great Xia have left their nests, who within Great Xia’s borders can stop me?”
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and walked straight toward the border of Great Xia.
After just a few steps, in the distant snowstorm, a bright car headlight broke through the falling snowflakes, slowly approaching from afar.
Beep beep beep—!
The moment the familiar horn sound appeared, a certain unpleasant memory suddenly surfaced in Loki’s mind, and his body froze.
A look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Through the snowstorm, a yellow electric scooter roared out!
A young man wearing a helmet and uniform was seriously driving the electric scooter. On the seat behind him sat a figure wearing a dark red cloak with a straight knife at his waist.
“Hmm?”
Zuo Qing, sitting in the back seat, raised an eyebrow when he saw the injured Loki.
“Is it him?”
“It’s him,” Lu Wuwei said with certainty. He took out a receipt from his pocket. At the bottom of the receipt, in the recipient’s name field, two characters were neatly written:
—Loki.
Zuo Qing calmly jumped off the vehicle, his right hand resting on the straight knife at his waist, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Lu Wuwei made a sudden stop, blocking Loki’s path with the electric scooter, and silently opened his helmet.
“Loki, God of Mischief,” Lu Wuwei said calmly. “We meet again.”
