Chapter 1559 Upheaval in the Celestial Court
As An Qingyu finished speaking, he turned to look at Jiang Er beside him, his expression somewhat complicated.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Er asked.
“After I’m sealed, there might be a long period of time when I won’t be able to talk to you like this.” An Qingyu looked into Jiang Er’s eyes, “Leaving you alone awake waiting for me… it’s not fair. Perhaps I could ask the Jade Emperor to seal you along with me.”
“Didn’t the Heavenly Venerable say that this seal requires all the gods of Great Xia working together? It’s not something that can be done casually… Besides, although you can’t accompany me, I can accompany you, right? I can see you every day in the Spirit Abyss, chat with you, it’s actually not that unbearable.” Jiang Er spoke nonchalantly.
An Qingyu opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to persuade her further, but Jiang Er stood up and said seriously:
“Alright, don’t think too much about it. I can take care of myself! We still have plenty of time ahead of us. If you really feel bad about it, you can make it up to me after you wake up…”
“What kind of compensation do you want?”
“That… that’s up to you!” Jiang Er turned her head away, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
An Qingyu gazed at Jiang Er for a long time, then smiled, “I understand.”
“What do you understand?”
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Jiang Er pretended to glare at An Qingyu in annoyance, but he pretended not to notice, leisurely leaning back in his wheelchair, gazing up at the starlight in the night sky.
“Do you think Seven Nights and the others know about this?” Jiang Er asked, as if something had just occurred to her.
“By now, they probably do,” An Qingyu said with some uncertainty. “But from what Jiang Taigong said earlier, he doesn’t want Seven Nights and the others involved in this matter. After all, my current identity is half of the [Key to the Door]…”
“It’s a pity that the Heavenly Court is in the mist now. Even if they wanted to find us, they might not be able to.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” An Qingyu smiled slightly. “Don’t forget, our captain is Lin Qiye… I think he might already be on his way here.”
“Then perhaps we could see them one more time before the sealing? That wouldn’t be bad…”
An Qingyu chatted with Jiang Er for a while. The gentle evening breeze brushed against his face, and he seemed to grow a bit drowsy.
An Qingyu shifted to a more comfortable position, gazing at the stars across the sky, slowly closing his eyes…
“Why don’t you go inside to sleep?”
“It’s too stuffy inside… Before I’m sealed, I want to experience this world a bit more.”
Jiang Er watched An Qingyu’s sleeping face, and after a long while, gently nestled beside him, also closing her eyes.
“Qingyu…”
“Hmm?”
“When you come out, let’s go see Erhai Lake together, okay?”
“Is this part of the compensation?”
“Of course not… I grew up by Erhai Lake, and I want to take you back home to see it… However, if some romantic things happen by Erhai Lake, perhaps that could count as part of the compensation~”
Hearing Jiang Er’s mischievous voice, An Qingyu smiled, “I understand, you’re hinting at something.”
“What hint? I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
Jiang Er stuck out her tongue playfully. In the gentle evening breeze mixed with ethereal spiritual energy, they gradually drifted off to sleep amid the faint howls of the Mi-Go…
…
“The number of these creatures is becoming increasingly terrifying.”
Outside the South Heavenly Gate, Guangcheng Zi held the Heaven-Turning Seal, looking down at the Mi-Go surging like waves below, his eyes slightly narrowed.
“No matter how many there are, trash is still trash. Just clean them all up.” Sun Wukong stood beside him, a pair of blazing golden lights burning fiercely in his eyes.
He brushed his finger by his ear, and a giant pillar rapidly expanded, crashing down among the Mi-Go horde, instantly crushing dozens at the front into a bloody mist. The Mi-Go behind continued to charge forward fearlessly, only to be completely crushed by the Heaven-Turning Seal that had transformed into a mountain.
Seeing that all the Mi-Go in this wave had been killed, Guangcheng Zi waved his hand and retrieved the Heaven-Turning Seal.
“By the way, the sealing preparations should be almost ready, right?”
“Almost,” Tayi Zhenren nodded. “The main materials have all been gathered. We should be able to perform the sealing by tomorrow afternoon.”
“Tell the other Heavenly Gates to be vigilant. Without the Three Heavenly Venerables present, the Heavenly Court has no supreme guardians. We can’t afford any mishaps at this time.”
“Yes.”
Tayi Zhenren’s form transformed into a beam of light, disappearing into the night sky. Sun Wukong tucked his Golden Cudgel back into his ear and leaned against a stone pillar at the South Heavenly Gate, narrowing his eyes vigilantly.
But at this moment, no one in the entire Heavenly Court realized that a silently surging black mist had directly bypassed numerous Heavenly Gates, quietly emanating from within a certain palace in the Heavenly Court.
Countless shadowy figures flashed through the black mist. It seemed to have no physical form as it floated through a wall, arriving in a courtyard planted with celestial herbs.
Faint murmurs emanated from the black mist as its main body rapidly twisted, forming an eerie face that stared fixedly at An Qingyu, who had fallen asleep in the ancient pavilion.
A spatial vortex the size of a fist swirled up from beside An Qingyu’s feet, swallowing several celestial herbs before disappearing moments later.
“[Key to the Door]… how interesting.” The corners of that face’s mouth turned up slightly, and in its hollow eyes appeared a hint of pathological madness. “But it’s not enough… This level is far from enough to please me… Let’s make things more interesting.
You owe me a favor, Yog-Sothoth.”
The murmurs of the black mist gradually dissipated. Near An Qingyu’s wrist, a small disturbance in space-time appeared again.
Just then, a chaotic black mist climbed onto the space-time gap, like a pair of large hands, forcibly tearing and expanding it. In just a moment, it transformed into a space-time rift that enveloped the entire pavilion!
The space-time rift was like a giant mouth, instantly swallowing the pavilion, stone table, and both An Qingyu and Jiang Er within it!
As the space-time rift disappeared, the black mist hovering by the wall let out an eerie chuckle, then gradually faded into the air…
Dong——!!!
Almost at the same moment An Qingyu disappeared, a deafening bell sound resonated through every corner of the Heavenly Court.
“This is bad!” Guangcheng Zi, guarding outside the South Heavenly Gate, suddenly changed expression and turned his head toward the direction of An Qingyu’s palace. His form transformed into a beam of light as he flew away. “Monkey, you stay here! Don’t let anything escape from the Heavenly Court!”
Sun Wukong frowned, watching the beams of divine power shooting up into the night sky, his expression becoming solemn.
In the void above the palace, a tall figure wearing imperial robes stepped out. The Jade Emperor looked down at the ruined pavilion below, his eyes narrowing slightly…
“A space-time rift? Could it be that the Door of Truth has lost control?”
