The autumn wind blew, and many yellow leaves scattered on the rain-soaked sand. As the aura of darkness took control of this world, the stars dimmed in the rain and clouds. Everyone's vision was suppressed by the rain and darkness, and they felt their breathing become heavier.
Zhu Minglang's level was already very high. In this situation, the objects he could see began to blur. The mysterious ancient monsters reflected by the Fu Chen Divine Radiance were even more hazy. Sometimes, he couldn't even tell if they were mysterious ancient monsters or night walkers.
Everyone was careful.
Without Qing Yu, their team of gods wouldn't be afraid of anything in the darkness.
However, with the arrival of Qing Yu and the short days and long nights, the entire Heaven's Pivot Territory seemed to have undergone a drastic change. As long as they weren't in the God City, walking in the wilderness felt like darkness was choking them, and they could suffocate at any time.
Previously, when they were in Bai Ze and Shen Du, Zhu Minglang didn't feel the difference between the short days and long nights. This time, Zhu Minglang clearly felt that the darkness was far more terrifying than before. Some of the Night Emperors and Dark Demons that once slept in the abyss of the Underworld had awakened in this long night. Their footprints stepped on the earth of the human world, and every night, they would let out a provocative grin at the gods!
"It seems like something has been following us." Nan Yu Suo whispered to Zhu Minglang.
"Behind us?" Zhu Minglang said as he turned around to take a look.
When he turned around, Zhu Minglang felt a strange face with a hint of cold disdain staring straight at him.
It was like a plate of fish and prawns. After a simple steaming, the fish and prawns would jump out of the plate and make a final struggle. Therefore, people would often laugh at this scene.
He was the half-cooked fish and prawns on the plate.
The other party's attitude towards him was a cold sneer waiting to be enjoyed.
However, when Zhu Minglang carefully looked at this strange face, he discovered that the face dissipated in the rain. It was completely like an illusion in his mind, and it was more like a scene reflected by his fear of the darkness.
Zhu Minglang couldn't tell if something was causing trouble or if it was an illusion created by himself. In short, the blue rain and the dark night made people feel very uneasy.
"It's not behind us. I just feel like it's always waiting for us at the places we've walked past," said Nan Yu Suo.
"It always appears in front of us?"
"Mn." Nan Yu Suo nodded.
It was said that every God saw different things at night. Even the same mountain or forest would appear different at night when viewed by different Godheads.
Zhu Minglang could not see the "thing that was following them" that Nan Yu Suo had mentioned. At the same time, he could not figure out what that misty face was. The darkness was becoming more and more unfathomable. It was as though before he had become a god, he was too weak and mediocre. That was why he could not see that the darkness was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
Just how many pairs of eyes were staring at the area that extended into the thick darkness when you couldn't see it … …?
"We're … missing one person," said one of the Divines from Alkaid.
Qiuci immediately went to count the number of people.
"We're not missing, exactly ten," said Qiuci, confused.
"Oh, I counted wrong," said the Divines from Alkaid.
"Don't scare me like that. I really thought someone was missing."
The Deity's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He was in a state of high tension, and one could see that he was holding his staff tightly in his hand.
"Watch out!" Suddenly, the Divine Duke raised the long staff in his hand and smashed it at the God of Winter. As he waved the long staff, many fire maple leaves scattered!
Dong Zhongshen was dumbfounded. He quickly dodged and cursed, "Are you crazy? Why did you hit my head!?"
"I just saw a face behind you. I didn't expect it to be formed by the rain," said the Divines from Alkaid.
"Calm down and focus. Stop being so paranoid," said Qiuci.
As they neared the Half Sand Sea Region, they could feel the torrential rain in the sea region mixed with the seawater that floated into the air. The cold darkness was like a blade that sliced through flesh, causing them to grit their teeth in pain.
The darkness of the sea made it impossible to look at it directly. It was the end of the world. Even though they knew there was a shore on the other side, it looked no different from the Dark Abyss.
At the shore, they finally saw some light.
It was Su Liang and the others. They were currently walking over. All of them had been beaten to a sorry state by Qing Yu. Some of them had even lost an arm or a leg. The battle situation was somewhat tragic.
"Su Liang." Qiuci saw Su Liang and smiled happily. She hurried to greet him.
"You … Why are you here?" Su Liang said with some surprise. His gaze swept over the others, as if he couldn't completely trust them.
"Didn't you need our help when you were trapped? That's why we're here," said Qiuci.
Su Yu turned around in confusion, looked at his companions and asked, "Did you send out another request for help?"
Su Jing, the other gods, and the leaders all shook their heads.
"But I clearly received your request. Someone told me that you were trapped on Stone Altar Island," said Qiuci.
Su Liang frowned. He seemed to realize something was wrong and said seriously, "We did encounter some obstacles. The third altar can't be revived. We can only wait until tomorrow. We're already on our way back. We didn't ask for help. Who told you this?"
The Heavenly Goddess was stunned.
She tried hard to recall who it was that had told her in such a hurry that something had happened to Su Yu and the others and that they needed help.
But for some reason, she couldn't remember!
"I … I can't remember. It's always one …" The Heavenly Goddess suddenly realized something.
She had been tricked!
The person who told her was insignificant.
"Oh no, Half Desert City …" Dong Zhong couldn't help but shout.
The high ranking gods were tricked out of the city, and Su Fan did not revive all three altars, only two. This meant that the giant desert city was now lacking the power of the gods. The ancient creatures and the dark monsters wandering outside the city were about to start a feast of devouring!
"Go back quickly!" Su Liang's expression changed.
If the giant desert city was swallowed alive because of the negligence of these gods, all of the gods present would not be able to bear the responsibility!
"Hehe, a bunch of idiots." At this moment, Immortal Li Li who was following beside Zhu Minglang laughed and muttered softly.
Zhu Minglang also thought the same.
This Goddess Qiuci's brain was probably damaged.
How could she believe an insignificant person's words?
She was the guardian deity of this Half Desert City. Without the protection of her starlight, many ancient monsters and dark creatures could cross the ancient city walls.
"It's too late to go back," Dong Zhong's eyes were dull. He didn't expect them to be tricked by ancient monsters like this.
If Half Desert City was lost, they wouldn't be able to become the main gods of the Northern Dipper Divine Prefecture. Moreover, they would be punished by the Northern Dipper Star God …
"Ai, how could you be so careless. Ancient monsters have the ability to transform, possess, and bewitch. How could you be so careless based on one person's words?" Su Liang was dissatisfied with Goddess Qiuci's actions.
"Aren't I worried about you?" Goddess Qiuci felt wronged.
"We will definitely encounter all kinds of obstacles on our way back. I'm afraid it won't be long before the giant desert city changes beyond recognition. We'll most likely be punished by the heavens and have our lifespan shortened. I came here to help you, but you made such a low-level mistake. I'm fine, after all, we'll share weal and woe in the future. But for the gods following me, their immortal path might be affected … "Su Liang said.
Su Liang tried to maintain a calm tone.
However, everyone could tell that Su Liang was already using a reproachful tone.
Their immortal path would be damaged, especially at the crucial moment when the Northern Dipper Divine Prefecture was just born. If they made a mistake and fell behind the other gods, they might not be able to catch up anymore. No one wanted to ruin their own opportunity because of this mistake.
"I'll ask for forgiveness from God Xuan Ge. This is all my fault. If I've damaged everyone's virtue, I'll do my best to compensate everyone," Goddess Qiuci said.
Hearing her say this, everyone's expressions became a little more pleasant.
Zhu Minglang frowned and said, "Everyone, something like this has happened. Why aren't you thinking about how to make up for the suffering people of Half Desert City? Why are you here discussing the immortal path?"
Not to mention that this couple's relationship was fake, it could be concluded from the way they got into trouble that they were a bunch of scum immortals.
They only had their own immortal path in their eyes.
The people of Half Desert City were already being used as bait by the mysterious ancient creatures and dark creatures. Instead of feeling guilty and thinking about how to make up for it, they only talked about their immortal path …
With this kind of conduct, Zhu Minglang could already use his Heaven Sword!
"Then what do you think we should do?" Qiuci was already very angry. After all, he was scolded by his lover. When he heard Zhu Minglang's words, he immediately said coldly.
"It has nothing to do with me." Zhu Minglang was too lazy to think of a solution for them. They were all idiots with bad tempers. Their carelessness caused the people to die tragically. It was not enough to punish them, but after their carelessness, they did not think about how to make up for it. Instead, they were trying to shirk responsibility and protect themselves. They deserved to be buried alive!
"You!!" Qiuci clenched his teeth in anger.
"Zhu Minglang, think of a solution. For the sake of the people …" Nan Yu Suo said softly to Zhu Minglang.
"For your sake," Zhu Minglang said.
"Oh, tell me about it," Nan Yu Suo's voice was a lot softer.
"If we head to the third altar island now, the return journey will be longer, and the journey to the second altar island will be shorter. The power of the awakening of the stone altars can instantly drive away the mysterious ancient creatures and dark creatures. It's much more effective than fighting them in the city. After all, we have to take care of the people, so we can't use too powerful spells. However, the mysterious ancient creatures and dark creatures don't have the same concern. They can even threaten us with the lives of the people to make us pay a greater price," Zhu Minglang said.
