Chapter 804: The Divine Agent of the Great Xia
Not long after, the stretched Lincoln arrived at the entrance of the courtyard and came to a slow stop.
Lin Qiye and the others, holding the still-sleeping Li Zhenzhen, walked into the courtyard. At this moment, the members of Team 006 had already set everything up. In the central open area of the courtyard, a wide long table was laid out, and Zhang Zhengtian and others were busy serving dishes.
“Zhenzhen!” Zhang Zhengtian’s expression brightened when he saw Lin Qiye carrying Li Zhenzhen as they entered the courtyard. He quickly walked over.
Lin Qiye gently handed Li Zhenzhen to Zhang Zhengtian and said, “Sorry, she got a bit scared and is still dreaming… We were worried she wouldn’t recognize us and would be frightened upon waking, so we didn’t wake her.”
“Thank you.” Zhang Zhengtian held Li Zhenzhen, noticing the faint traces of tears on her face. A gentle smile appeared on the tough man’s face. “The news about personnel changes in our team was too much of a blow for her… This little girl has been crying and throwing tantrums. It’s the first time I’ve seen her sleep so peacefully in the past few days.”
“So, you were late picking us up today because of her?” Lin Qiye suddenly realized.
Zhang Zhengtian smiled a bit sheepishly. “At that time, Zhenzhen was crying too hard at home. I couldn’t bear to leave her, so… But I didn’t expect that as soon as I stepped out, she would run away from home in a fit of anger…”
“Ah, let’s not talk about that. Come on, the dishes are ready. Please take your seats!”
“By the way, where are Instructor Yuan and Captain Shao? Haven’t they returned yet?”
“Captain Shao is back and is in the study reviewing documents. Instructor Yuan should be here shortly,” Zhang Zhengtian seemed to remember something. “Oh, Captain Shao said that after you arrived, he would like to invite you to the office for a cup of tea.”
Lin Qiye paused for a moment and nodded slightly. “Okay.”
…
Knock, knock, knock.
“Come in.”
Lin Qiye pushed the door open and walked in. In the spacious office, he saw Shao Pingge sitting behind the desk, dozing off over a pile of documents.
When he noticed Lin Qiye had arrived, Shao Pingge’s sleepy eyes brightened a bit. After stretching, he smiled at Lin Qiye.
“Sorry, I had a long meeting today and I’m a bit tired…”
“Thank you for your hard work, Captain Shao.” Lin Qiye smiled politely.
“No need to be so formal.” Shao Pingge stood up and moved a comfortable chair for Lin Qiye, smiling as he said, “You’re a junior brought in by Old Chen. We’re all family here. You can call me Shao Ge or Shao Shu, whatever you like. No need to be reserved.”
Lin Qiye was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the “Old Chen” Shao Pingge mentioned was Chen Muye.
Lin Qiye couldn’t help but smile wryly. The personality of this White Wuchang was quite different from the silent Black Wuchang, Chen Muye…
“I know you’re here to ask about Old Chen’s past, right?” Shao Pingge asked.
“I am indeed a bit curious.” Lin Qiye couldn’t help but reply, “Back when we were in Cangnan, Captain Chen Muye had so many secrets—Black and White Wuchang, the ‘Wrath of Shiva’… Even now, I still don’t truly understand him.”
“Old Chen…” Shao Pingge chuckled, pointing at Lin Qiye, “Actually, we were in a similar situation back then…”
“Similar?”
“We are all agents of the gods.”
Lin Qiye stood frozen in place.
“Agents of the gods?”
“That’s right.”
Shao Pingge stood up from his seat and walked slowly to the window, gazing out at the night sky as he began to speak:
“However, the gods we represented… were the gods of Daxia.”
“The gods of Daxia also have agents?” This was the first time Lin Qiye had heard of agents of the Daxia gods, and he couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
“Yes, but the agents of the Daxia gods are different from those of other gods, at least they used to be,” Shao Pingge explained. “You should know that over a hundred years ago, in order to block the invasion of the mist, the Daxia god sacrificed itself to become an invisible wall, guarding the borders of Daxia, right?”
“I know. After that, the Daxia gods all entered reincarnation and only slowly revived after a hundred years…” Lin Qiye seemed to think of something. “But if that’s the case, then during that hundred years, there were no gods in Daxia. How could there be agents of the Daxia gods?”
“That’s what I meant when I said that the agents of the Daxia gods are different from other agents.
Other gods choose agents under certain transactional conditions, dividing a part of their divine ruins to grant to the corresponding agents. Essentially, the agents inherit a fragment of the laws left by the gods…
However, the Daxia gods, being in reincarnation themselves, even if a few awaken early, their strength is very weak and they cannot divide the laws to give to agents like other gods. Therefore, the Daxia gods choose to use some medium closely related to themselves to bestow part of their power to the agents.”
“Through a medium?”
“There are many forms of mediums, such as a divine artifact or divine beast of their own, or special objects that symbolize their identity and contain the power of faith… A sword, a mirror, a jade ruyi, a whisk, or a spirit beast can all serve as mediums.
However, since the Daxia gods are in reincarnation and their strength is still at a low point, not yet reaching the divine realm, the forbidden ruins granted to the agents in this way do not originate from the laws. Therefore, in terms of hierarchy, they can only be considered forbidden ruins, not divine ruins.
Only when the Daxia god who granted the forbidden ruins regains their peak strength and returns to the divine realm will these forbidden ruins automatically break that layer of shackles and return to the level of divine ruins. Until then, we can only be considered true agents of the gods.
Chen Muye and I are called ‘Black and White Wuchang’ for a reason, because the Daxia god who chose us as agents back then was the one sleeping in the Yama Hall… King Yama.
And the medium used by King Yama to grant us power was that Yama Hall.”
Yama Hall?
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s mind instantly recalled the grand hall that stood behind Chen Muye when he opened the forbidden ruins during the battle against Han Shaoyun in Cangnan a few years ago… The plaque also bore the three characters ‘Yama Hall.’
Originally, Lin Qiye thought that was just a phantom of the Yama Hall formed by the forbidden ruins. Now it seemed that what appeared behind Chen Muye at that time was the real Yama Hall!
Because the Yama Hall was the medium that carried the forbidden ruins of the “Black Wuchang.”
When the Daxia god returns to the divine realm, will the agent’s forbidden ruins automatically be upgraded to divine ruins…
At this point, Lin Qiye suddenly thought of a very important question.
“By the way, it has been over two years since the Daxia gods repaired the source of the heavenly court. Does this mean… the Daxia gods have fully returned?
Where are they?”
