Chapter 1409 Unless
Lin Qiye could clearly feel that under the stimulation of the medicine, his spiritual power had increased significantly.
If previously he could only vaguely sense the threshold of the ceiling, now he felt he had arrived right before that threshold, and had even stepped halfway across it…
Although both were at the peak of the “Klein” realm, for an ordinary “Klein” practitioner, taking such a step would require at least several years or even decades of accumulation.
Lin Qiye looked around and found that the Primordial Heavenly Lord, as well as Baili Pangpang and others, were all frowning at a scorched patch on the beach.
“What was that thing just now?” Lin Qiye recalled the mysterious liquid he had spit out earlier. Since he had been concentrating on digesting the medicine’s power at the time, he hadn’t had the leisure to look, and even now, he didn’t know what he had actually expelled.
“Unknown,” the Primordial Heavenly Lord shook his head slightly. “However, judging from its aura, it might be related to those things on the moon.”
“You mean… the Cthulhu Mythos?!”
Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed tightly.
Judging from the monster’s appearance, it indeed didn’t look like the mythological beings that should exist in this world. But why would using the [Holy Grail] to wish for the return of souls summon Cthulhu-type deities?
“This humble Daoist has delivered the pill, you may all disperse now,” the Primordial Heavenly Lord said calmly, withdrawing his gaze.
He gently waved his hand, and his form gradually faded like thin mist, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing the Primordial Heavenly Lord leave, Li Qiangqiang lightly coughed twice and tactically adjusted his toad-shaped sunglasses:
“Well, since everyone’s finished their business, shall we continue the competition?”
“Gun Bro, the Heavenly Lord said we should all disperse,” Baili Pangpang blinked, emphasizing the last few words.
Li Qiangqiang: …
Seeing that no one was really interested, Li Qiangqiang shrugged helplessly and said, “Fine, then today’s training ends here. Dismissed!”
The swimsuit-clad group exchanged glances, then turned and left without any lingering attachment.
“Seven, how did the Heavenly Palace pill taste?” Cao Yuan asked curiously as they walked.
Lin Qiye thought for a moment, “Not much different from a gumball.”
“What a pity. If there were any residual medicine dregs, I might have been able to analyze the pill’s composition.” An Qingyu sighed with some regret, looking at Lin Qiye with eager eyes.
Lin Qiye silently turned his head away, then paused slightly:
“Hmm? Where’s Pangpang?”
“I think he got scared in the sea and went to the bathroom.”
“Oh…”
…
On the island.
Meanwhile.
Baili Pangpang changed into his clothes, yawning as he slowly sat down on a huge rock facing the sea.
“You came all this way, it can’t be just to deliver medicine to Seven, right?” he said to the empty air in front of him.
A breeze passed by, and a figure wearing Daoist robes materialized from the void beside him.
“Besides delivering medicine, I also came to see you,” the Primordial Heavenly Lord smiled slightly. “Your swimming is quite good.”
“…” Baili Pangpang’s mouth twitched. “After all, I’m a reincarnated body. As a mortal, having some natural deficiencies isn’t strange, is it?”
“Are you comfortable on this island?”
“No, I’m not.” Baili Pangpang turned his head, looking at the smiling Daoist beside him with complex eyes, and slowly asked, “Keeping us on this island was your idea, wasn’t it?”
“Yes,” the Primordial Heavenly Lord nodded frankly.
“Why?”
“I should have told you about that matter.”
“You mean, that ‘seed of disaster’ between us?” Baili Pangpang recalled his previous conversation with the Primordial Heavenly Lord in the Heavenly Palace, his brows furrowing deeper. “But didn’t you say that the future timeline had already changed, and that you wouldn’t directly move against him, but would test his character instead?
Do you think he might betray Great Xia?”
“This isn’t about character.” The Primordial Heavenly Lord paused. “His very existence defies common sense… Not directly erasing him is already the greatest concession from the Heavenly Palace.”
Baili Pangpang froze in place.
“So, you want to keep us all under house arrest here to control his actions?”
“It’s the best method.” The Primordial Heavenly Lord spoke calmly. “The Sun City, High Plain of Heaven, and Asgard have fallen one after another. This divine war won’t last much longer… This island has heroic spirits guarding it, and the dispersed national fortune purifies the body. Before everything settles, this place is the most suitable dwelling for you all.”
Baili Pangpang opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to refute something, but couldn’t deny this fact.
Indeed, without killing that person, confining them all to this island was the optimal choice—it could both prevent future disastrous variables and enhance their strength.
“…It’s useless. Seven and the others are very smart; they’ve already started to realize this training isn’t so simple,” Baili Pangpang shook his head.
“Even if they realize it, what can they do?”
“…”
Baili Pangpang scratched his head and sighed deeply.
On this island, with General Huo Qubing and generations of Night Watchmen Commanders guarding it, even if they realized they were under house arrest… what could they do?
Could they possibly break out from under the noses of these commanders?
“Must it go this far?” Baili Pangpang asked gravely. “Perhaps the worst scenario you envision will never happen.”
“Perhaps.” The Primordial Heavenly Lord looked into his eyes. “But current Great Xia can’t afford to gamble… especially when we only have two Heavenly Lords.”
Baili Pangpang, still wanting to try to persuade him, saw the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s extremely serious gaze and swallowed the words that had reached his lips…
The Primordial Heavenly Lord withdrew his gaze and was about to say something more when his eyes suddenly focused, turning to look into the distance!
His brows furrowed slightly.
Sensing the change in the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s aura, Baili Pangpang asked puzzledly, “What’s happened?”
“…They’re coming earlier than I expected.” The Primordial Heavenly Lord slowly stood up, gave Baili Pangpang one last look, and turned to walk into the void behind him. “Stay here with them peacefully. No matter what happens outside, don’t leave… unless you’re ready to return.”
The Primordial Heavenly Lord’s form visibly faded, disappearing without a trace in the space of a breath, leaving only a faint whirlwind that lifted the corner of Baili Pangpang’s clothes.
Baili Pangpang sat alone on the huge rock, glanced at the distant sky, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He looked down at his palm and murmured:
“Return, huh…”
