Chapter 1455 Shattered Reflection
Before coming, Lin Qiye had already vaguely guessed this possibility.
After all, in the mist, there were originally only three divine nations: Olympus, the Temple of Gods, and Great Xia. Now that the Temple of Gods has been destroyed and the God of Xia is severely injured, if Zeus were to make a move at this time, it would definitely be a huge threat to them.
“Although we cannot verify the authenticity of this information, it’s always better to be cautious,” Left Qing rubbed his tired eyes. “Fortunately, we’ve already dealt with the Temple of Gods and gained a brief breathing opportunity. The longer they delay, the more advantageous it is for us.”
“I see…” Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, but still asked, “But Commander, with the current state of the God of Xia and us… if the Olympian gods really attack, can we hold them off?”
Left Qing didn’t speak. He silently looked at the gods of Great Xia who had landed near Chennan Pass to heal their injuries, then slowly said:
“Whether we can hold them off or not, the enemy is there, and we have no choice but to face them.”
Lin Qiye was slightly stunned, hearing a hint of helplessness in Left Qing’s words.
“Anyway, don’t tell the other surviving Night Watchers about this matter for now. They’ve just survived a deadly battle, and knowing this would only increase their panic and despair,” Left Qing looked away and said to Lin Qiye and the others.
“Understood.”
Left Qing moved forward in his wheelchair toward the command center. Lin Qiye and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.
Although Left Qing didn’t explicitly say it, the current state of the God of Xia was visibly poor. Once the Olympian gods arrived, it would likely be an even more brutal battle than the one against the Temple of Gods.
“Seven… what should we do?” Cao Yuan looked at the injured divine shadows sitting cross-legged outside the wall and asked worriedly, “Not to mention anything else, if Zeus himself comes, that’s another Supreme God. Now both of our Great Xia’s Heavenly Venerable are being held in space by India’s Supreme God, who can stop him?”
Lin Qiye shook his head, “That level of battle is already beyond our intervention. Now that we’ve also exhausted the golden dragon of national fortune… there’s nothing we can do except wait with everyone else.
Let’s hope the gods of Great Xia still have some tricks up their sleeves.”
As they spoke, Lin Qiye and the others stepped down the stairs.
At the back of the group, Bai Li Pangpang’s lips were tightly pressed together. Just as he was about to descend the stairs, a light sound came from his side.
Bai Li Pangpang turned to look and saw that the emergency room window had suddenly developed several fine cracks. His reflection stood in the glass, split by the broken lines, and for a moment it seemed as if he had shattered into two people.
One was Bai Li Pangpang wearing a deep red cloak, and the other wore a Taoist robe with an indistinguishable face, but he could feel a pair of eyes staring at him.
Bai Li Pangpang looked at the reflection in the glass, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
“Pangpang?”
Lin Qiye and the others, who were walking ahead, noticed Bai Li Pangpang standing alone and walked back. He glanced at the broken glass Bai Li Pangpang was looking at and asked curiously, “What are you looking at?”
Bai Li Pangpang came back to his senses. The reflection before him had returned to normal, with fragmented images of himself standing among the cracks, his expression somewhat complex.
“…Nothing, let’s go.”
Bai Li Pangpang turned around and walked straight down the stairs.
As a Class A war pass, Chennan Pass had spacious interior and ample buildings. Dedicated personnel arranged accommodations for the recovering Night Watchers and military personnel, mostly in separate rooms, including Lin Qiye and his group.
“These are your temporary residences, five rooms in total. Please keep your keys safe,” a logistics staff member handed the keys to everyone, but An Qingyu returned one key.
“We two will share a room,” An Qingyu pointed to Jiang Er floating beside him.
Ghost Jiang Er’s cheeks turned slightly red as she looked away.
“Alright,” the staff member took back the key and continued, “However, I’m sorry to inform you that the cafeteria at Chennan Pass was shattered by the invading beasts, so we temporarily cannot provide regular hot meals. Currently, we only have canned food and frozen meat for emergency use. In half an hour, there will be dedicated personnel distributing them at the square. Please make sure to collect them.”
After arranging food and accommodation for everyone, the staff member hurriedly left to attend to others. With many wounded at Chennan Pass, they were short-staffed in various aspects.
“What a pity,” Cao Yuan sighed. “I thought we’d finally get to eat a hot Chinese meal…”
“It’s wartime after all, having anything to eat is already good,” Lin Qiye smiled. “We’ve eaten worse things during training camp.”
“Doesn’t Pangpang still have quite a bit of food? We can share some with everyone later,” An Qingyu turned to look at Bai Li Pangpang.
Bai Li Pangpang, who had been lost in thought, came back to his senses and nodded, “…Right, I still have quite a few seasonings and barbecue equipment.”
“We still have half an hour, everyone should go rest for a while… especially Pangpang, your complexion hasn’t looked good since the battle ended,” Lin Qiye said, watching Bai Li Pangpang.
Bai Li Pangpang didn’t speak, just scratched his head and smiled.
Afterward, everyone took their keys and returned to their respective rooms.
Bai Li Pangpang entered his room but didn’t turn on the light. He quietly closed the door, feeling a heaviness in his heart.
Yuanshi, Champion Marquis, Gongyang Wan, and other heroic spirits… they had identified him as Lingbao Tianzun of the Three Pure Ones of Great Xia from the beginning, but only he knew clearly that from beginning to end, he was just Bai Li Pangpang.
Since the return of the Great Xia Celestial Court, he had indeed awakened memories of his previous life and could even use a tiny amount of divine powers… but these things and memories weren’t truly his. He only remembered them, nothing more. The four words “Lingbao Tianzun” were familiar to him, but even more so, they were strange.
After all, he was just Bai Li Pangpang, who happened to possess Lingbao Tianzun’s memories.
At first it wasn’t a problem, but as others began to see him as Lingbao Tianzun, that burden that shouldn’t have belonged to him gradually pressed down on his shoulders, making it hard to breathe.
He could converse with Yuanshi Tianzun as Lingbao Tianzun and answer Gongyang Wan’s questions, but he couldn’t promise when Lingbao Tianzun would return, because even he himself didn’t know…
But just now, the moment he saw that Taoist figure in the reflection, he understood that moment was near.
In the darkness,
Bai Li Pangpang slowly walked to a mirror, looking at that face both familiar and strange, murmuring:
“This world needs Lingbao Tianzun… doesn’t it?”
