The Celestial Snake Demon Venerable slowly awoke, her eyes filled with a clear bewilderment.
"Didn't I perish together with the Great Peng Celestial Venerable? Am I still alive?"
She felt the abundant vitality emanating from her physical body. Her memories stopped at the moment before her death and dissipation, seemingly without any lingering attachments.
"Yuan Yuan, Fang Fang, Zheng Zheng, Xiao Xiao, why are you all here? Didn't I send you to the future?"
When the Celestial Snake Demon Venerable's gaze fell upon her four daughters, her expression changed slightly. Having just been resurrected, she was clearly unaware of what was happening.
"Master, I'm here too, don't forget me!"
The golden Demon Sealing Board floated up and down in front of the Celestial Snake Demon Venerable to indicate its presence.
The Celestial Snake Clan's four sisters, seeing the Celestial Snake Demon Venerable like this, realized that she seemed to have forgotten the memory of meeting them in the Demon Sealing Board.
"Aunt-Master Houtu, what's going on?" Tian Yuanyuan asked.
Houtu softly said, "Once a lingering attachment completes its purpose, it will completely dissipate and cease to exist. Naturally, memories are the same."
"Understood!"
Tian Yuanyuan and her sisters nodded. The one who had recognized them before was a wisp of their mother's lingering attachment, whose purpose was to see them safe and happy. Now that it had fulfilled its purpose, it would naturally dissipate.
The lingering attachment had already dissipated without returning to the main body, so the main body naturally had no memory of the lingering attachment.
Thus, the four sisters slowly explained everything to the Celestial Snake Demon Venerable.
Even though the Celestial Snake Demon Venerable had once been a hegemon of the heavens and earth, her beautiful eyes revealed shock upon learning everything.
She had once deduced that an incredibly brilliant era would appear in later generations, so she defied the heavenly laws and bore the great karma alone to send her four daughters to that era.
However, the brilliance of this era exceeded her expectations.
The fact that this realm would give birth to a being surpassing the Breaking Dao stage was already her most optimistic prediction.
But the information she had just received was enough to shake her Dao heart. If she hadn't experienced the miraculous process of going from life to death and then from death to life, her Dao heart would have probably collapsed.
After the shock, the Celestial Snake Demon Venerable quickly bowed to Houtu and Yun Wuyue.
"I will never forget your life-saving grace. Thank you both."
The Celestial Snake Demon Venerable didn't say anything about обязательно repaying them, because in front of Houtu and Yun Wuyue, she was too insignificant and didn't know how to repay them.
But Yun Wuyue shook her head and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank Sister Houtu. I didn't do anything."
Houtu also shook her head upon hearing this and said, "There's no need to be polite. This is the meeting gift I promised them. If you really want to thank me, then spend more time with them."
Houtu looked at the Celestial Snake Clan's four sisters.
"I will," the Celestial Snake Demon Venerable gently nodded, her eyes filled with love and tenderness as she looked at her four daughters. As a mother, she had failed, and their growth lacked her presence.
The four sisters also looked at the Celestial Snake Demon Venerable with extremely complicated expressions. To them, their mother's appearance was very sudden. But no matter what, they were her daughters, and that was impossible to change.
Seeing the mother and daughters looking at each other without speaking, Houtu couldn't help but give Yun Wuyue a look.
Yun Wuyue shrugged her shoulders. Although she had raised a daughter, her way of getting along with Yun Shuang was difficult for others to replicate. What mother could be like her, raising her daughter and then running away from home?
So when Houtu asked her to think of a solution, she really didn't have any ideas.
In the end, Tian Yuanyuan broke the deadlock.
She said, "We're going back to the Celestial Snake Clan. Do you... want to come with us?"
The Celestial Snake Demon Venerable was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face as she said, "Okay."
So the mother and five daughters bid farewell to Houtu and Yun Wuyue and left the Void God Realm.
"Master, Princesses, don't forget about me!"
Seeing this, the Demon Sealing Board quickly followed. It didn't want to stay here. It was too terrifying here. Immortal Emperors could only "move bricks" here, and there were thousands of them.
It didn't dare to stay here for too long because it was so terrifying.
"This Demon Sealing Board is probably overly frightened," Yun Wuyue said.
"It's all because you scared it," Houtu laughed.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Yun Wuyue's mouth slightly turned up, revealing a captivating arc.
Although she wouldn't get angry because of the Demon Sealing Board's title, scaring the Demon Sealing Board was something she enjoyed doing.
The highest dimension of the Void God Realm had not been completed yet. Usually, only she, Sister Houtu, and Gu Changsheng could freely enter, and it was closed at other times.
But just now, she had opened the permissions to the highest dimension, so the Demon Sealing Board was frightened by thousands of Void Beasts with Immortal Emperor cultivation.
"Wuyue, what do you think of the child Li Ruoyu?"
Houtu suddenly asked.
"Hmm?" A look of surprise appeared in Yun Wuyue's eyes. She didn't know why Sister Houtu suddenly brought up Li Ruoyu, but she still said, "I'm not in a position to evaluate this child, but Changsheng has a very high opinion of him."
"Hmm?"
This time it was Houtu's turn to be puzzled.
Yun Wuyue smiled and explained, "Changsheng once told me that in the mortal realm, there were three people he was most optimistic about. The first was his descendant, Gu Tianjun."
Hearing the name Gu Tianjun, Houtu nodded and said, "That child is indeed very amazing, especially his invincible confidence, especially in this era. His future is immeasurable."
What era is this?
The phrase 'His Majesty the Holy Emperor is invincible' is the characteristic of this era, and Gu Tianjun can maintain an invincible mindset in this era. Whether he is really invincible or not, his confidence in himself will become the strongest motivation for him to climb the Great Dao.
"The second one is the disciple of the Divine Calculator, right?" Houtu asked.
Yun Wuyue nodded and smiled, "It's that girl. She comprehended the true meaning of fate at a young age, and she's a bit like you."
"Like what?" Houtu asked curiously.
"She is very proactive in terms of relationships. In this regard, I'm exactly the same," Yun Wuyue said with admiration, obviously admiring the Heavenly Eye Empress very much.
Moreover, Bai Yifei cultivates her Yantian Divine Art, so she is also considered half of her disciple. She is also very satisfied that the girl she admires is with half of her disciple.
"And this third person... is Li Ruoyu, whom Sister Houtu just mentioned."
Yun Wuyue continued.
"What's special about him?" Houtu asked.
"He" naturally refers to Gu Changsheng. She was asking why Gu Changsheng was optimistic about Li Ruoyu.
Although Li Ruoyu is also very talented, compared to Gu Tianjun and the Heavenly Eye Empress, he always seems to be inferior.
"I also asked at the time. Changsheng only said that Li Ruoyu is the most like him. It's not about talent, it's not about physique, it's simply because Li Ruoyu is the most like him," Yun Wuyue said.
After hearing this, a few different colors flashed in Houtu's eyes.
"Is this guy evaluating the younger generation or showing off himself?"
Houtu said with a wry smile, but she had to admit that this was the highest evaluation she had ever heard from Gu Changsheng so far.
Man follows the Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Dao, and the Dao follows Nature. Nature follows me!
This is Gu Changsheng in Houtu's eyes.
He has surpassed everything and walked before everything, so everything must follow him.
Gu Changsheng's evaluation of Li Ruoyu as the person who is most like him is a very high evaluation. In Houtu's view, it is even the highest evaluation.
"Why is Sister paying attention to this child?"
Yun Wuyue asked.
"They are all geniuses from our mortal realm. As the Houtu Empress, I am in charge of the Holy Emperor Palace. It is reasonable to pay attention to them, right?" Houtu smiled.
"Is that so? Are you sure it's not because Hong Hong is relatively close to him?" Yun Wuyue looked at Houtu with a smile, her purple eyes flickering with strange light.
"Sister, I am the first Nightmare in the world. I have the power to control illusion, and Sister, you are not good at lying."
"Okay, it's indeed because of Hong Hong," Houtu admitted frankly when she saw that her little lie was seen through.
"Sister should be officially meeting Hong Hong for the first time, right? Why do I always feel that you care so much about Hong Hong?" Yun Wuyue said curiously.
Since she came to the mortal realm, Houtu has been in seclusion. Maybe she had seen Hong Hong secretly before, but this was the first time she had officially met her like today.
When she was in the Apocalypse Continent, she felt that Houtu paid special attention to Hong Hong. Although it was relatively subtle, they were good sisters who opened their hearts to each other, so they could naturally feel each other's strangeness.
Hong Hong was an orphan when she became Changsheng's disciple. Although she had an older sister, the two sisters had been without parents since they were young. No wonder Hong Hong and her sister were Houtu's daughters.
This is not impossible. You know, Changsheng didn't come to her, and she didn't know that Yun Shuang was the life born from the combination of his and her aura.
What if Hong Hong and her sister are also in this situation?
For a time, the fire of gossip in Yun Wuyue's heart burned fiercely. She didn't care about other people's gossip, but she was very interested in Sister Houtu's gossip.
"What are you thinking about?" Houtu looked at Yun Wuyue's exquisite face with a strange smile and knew that she had already made up a complete story for herself and Hong Hong in her heart.
She knew Yun Wuyue too well. As someone who had the ability to turn dreams into reality, her inner world was extremely rich. In Gu Changsheng's words, she liked to fantasize.
But this also fits Yun Wuyue's personality.
After all, she was the first person to actively pursue Gu Changsheng. If her inner world was not rich enough, it would not be enough to support her deep affection for Gu Changsheng.
"Hehe!" Yun Wuyue smiled when she saw that her inner fantasy was exposed by Houtu.
Whether it was in front of Houtu, Gu Changsheng, or Yao Xian, she would not be the Demon Emperor who made the heavens and the world terrified, but a little woman. She would have the expressions that a little woman should have.
Houtu shook her head helplessly. In fact, she was laughing at herself. The people around Gu Changsheng seemed to love to fantasize more or less.
The reason is nothing else. Gu Changsheng is too strong, and people can't help but fantasize about how strong he is.
She used to think that Gu Changsheng was just a Chaos Controller who surpassed the Breaking Dao, but now she is only a small step away from the Chaos Controller, but she found that the distance between her and Gu Changsheng has not narrowed at all.
At this time, she involuntarily imagined how strong this guy is.
She's thinking too much again...
Houtu gathered her thoughts and brought the topic back to Hong Hong.
"At the beginning, Changsheng resurrected me just to make me Hong Hong's protector. It was just a coincidence and a combination of various reasons that we and Yao Xian became sisters," Houtu said.
"So that's how it is, but this is very in line with his character," Yun Wuyue smiled.
As someone who actively pursued Gu Changsheng, she knew Gu Changsheng too well. She could even interpret the meaning of Gu Changsheng's words and deeds without reading his mind.
"Yes, but not long after he brought me back to the Gu family, he asked me to help him manage the human race. Why is this person like this? He said that he would just be Hong Hong's protector, but in the blink of an eye, he wanted me to work for him for free," Houtu complained, but her tone revealed a hint of joy.
"Isn't this exactly what you wanted, Sister? You are a superwoman among superwomen. This is the first time I have seen someone let an incarnation go out to play instead of the main body."
Yun Wuyue said with a wry smile. When she learned that Houtu let the incarnation go out to play instead of the main body, while the main body was dealing with various affairs, her first reaction was disbelief. How could there be such a person in the world?
But Houtu is such a person.
"Maybe it was because I had just been resurrected at that time and felt that everything was illusory. Being busy and making myself feel fulfilled would make me feel more real," Houtu said.
"Perhaps there is another possibility, that is, you want to do this well and not be underestimated by him," Yun Wuyue said seriously.
Houtu was stunned, and then said softly, "Perhaps!"
Is that really the case?
Houtu asked herself, but she had no answer.
When did she fall in love with that guy? Was it when he resurrected her with a wave of his hand, or when she lost the bet to him and willingly called him Brother Changsheng, or when he could trust her without hesitation and hand over the management of the mortal realm to her?
Or was it when he saw her naked in the Sea of Reincarnation?
Houtu didn't know, but she knew that it was normal for her to like such a man.
...
At the same time, in a silent and lifeless starry sky on the Ancient Starry Road, two figures were fighting fiercely. Wherever the aftermath of their battle passed, stars were destroyed and large stars fell.
"Boom!"
After a fierce collision between the two figures, one of them was knocked away, spitting out blood. The blood fell into the starry sky, igniting the starry sky and making it riddled with holes.
The other figure stood proudly in the void, with a calm expression, as if the battle just now was just a warm-up exercise for him.
This person is Gu Tianjun.
And the other person is Xiaoyue's senior brother, Yun Chuan.
"Gu Tianjun!"
Yun Chuan looked at Gu Tianjun with a gloomy face. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by Gu Tianjun, and it was a crushing defeat. He tried his best, but he didn't get any advantage.
He had experienced such a crushing defeat once, but that person was the personal disciple of the Qingyan Immortal Venerable. He was convinced that he lost to him.
But he couldn't believe that he lost to Gu Tianjun!
"With your strength, you are not Qin Shaoshang's opponent," Gu Tianjun said lightly.
