Chapter 173: Just Because I'm in This Mountain
"Strange? I seem to have been to this place before?"
Looking at the strips of cloth on the ground, Yang Ziyuan's face couldn't help but become gloomy.
Because he found himself going in circles!
Damn it!
Could it be that the Scepter of Destruction can develop intelligence and play tricks on him?
Thinking in his heart, Yang Ziyuan hurriedly increased his speed and continued to pursue forward.
After about half an hour.
Finally, Yang Ziyuan discovered the problem.
Because, according to his perception, no matter how fast he accelerated, the distance between him and the opponent remained the same!
What does this mean?
It means that the Scepter of Destruction didn't move at all, and he was just following his own wishful thinking!
But if the Scepter of Destruction didn't move, then why couldn't he find it?
Could it be that he was trapped in an illusion?
Thinking of this, Yang Ziyuan pinched his thigh hard.
"Ouch!"
A sharp pain spread throughout his brain, and Yang Ziyuan gasped in pain.
"Damn it, it seems I was too careless. This abyss is indeed not as simple as it seems!"
As he spoke, Yang Ziyuan decided to stop moving forward.
After all, if he blindly followed his feelings, he would never find the Scepter of Destruction.
However, since he was not in an illusion, why could he not find the Scepter of Destruction?
Unable to figure it out, he decided to retreat.
After all, staying down there, accidents could happen at any time!
Although he was not afraid of these soul beasts, there was no soul power down there for him to recover!
Once his soul power was exhausted, his situation would be dangerous!
So, Yang Ziyuan did not dare to stay for long and began to climb upwards.
The Divine Realm, the Temple of Life.
"Destruction, you're quite good at hiding things from the public! But, unfortunately, the little fellow doesn't seem to grasp your meaning!"
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction scowled and whispered, "Rakshasa, stop your sarcastic remarks! Instead of wasting time chatting, you might as well be concerned about your successor!"
"Her? Forget it! With her personality, she'd rather be left alone!"
Recalling Bibi Dong's madness, the Rakshasa God suddenly felt that his title as the deity in charge of hatred and slaughter seemed unworthy of his status.
"Hmph! You don't even keep a close eye on your own successor. No wonder you didn't even notice the poison pill incident was resolved last time!"
Last time, as soon as the Rakshasa God had shared the good news of Tang San's cripple, he eagerly used his divine power to check on him.
But what did he see? Tang San showed no signs of the pill poison at all!
Furious, he wanted to confront him. If
it weren't for the mediation of the Goddess of Life, he would have truly wanted to teach this man a lesson for lying about military intelligence!
However, after the Goddess of Life's careful investigation, they finally learned the truth.
It turned out that before he could examine the other person, the poison in his body had already been cured by the Goddess of Kindness.
Therefore, he hadn't noticed the poison in Tang San's body.
"Can you blame me for this? Even if I noticed, what could I do? Could I have stopped Goddess of Kindness from curing him?" Rakshasa God said aggrievedly.
Seeing this, the God King of Destruction sighed, "Oh! I don't know why Kindness would help that Shura guy! Could it be that the three of them have also formed an alliance?"
"That's not the case! I've already asked Kindness. This time she took action because Shura offered the Divine Source Grass as a reward. That's why she made an exception."
Hearing the Goddess of Life's answer, the God King of Destruction suddenly understood.
"I see, that's not surprising! The Divine Source Grass is something that not only tempted Kindness and the others, but even I. Speaking of which, why didn't Shura come to you? You're clearly the best at healing!"
Hearing this, the Rakshasa God rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"You beat the shit out of him! He must be sick to bring the Divine Source Grass to help the enemy!"
"If you don't say anything, no one will think you're dumb! Now, get back to your Rakshasa Temple right now!"
"Alright! Since Rakshasa wants to play here, why are you chasing him away?"
The Goddess of Life consoled the God King of Destruction before asking him, "Rakshasa, besides the fertility tea, what else should I prepare? How about I talk to the Flower Gods about dietary arrangements?"
"Uh, as long as you're happy!"
The Rakshasa smiled awkwardly.
Upon hearing their conversation, the God King of Destruction fell silent, fearing the Goddess of Life would feed him some strange food again!
Elsewhere, in the Life Source Realm, Yang Ziyuan, after countless hardships, finally returned to the plains.
Upon reaching the surface, he collapsed, gasping for breath.
After all, climbing is no easy task and requires a tremendous amount of energy.
Not to mention, he had to constantly guard against attacks from spirit beasts and strong winds.
After a long rest, his soul power almost fully restored, Yang Ziyuan slowly stood up.
He gazed down at the bottomless abyss, his brow furrowed.
A flicker of doubt crept into his mind: Had he chosen the wrong direction from the start?
The Scepter of Destruction wasn't even at the bottom of the abyss?
Yet, Kui Yuan had clearly told him from the beginning that it was there.
Had he been misleading him the entire time?
But upon closer reflection, it seemed unlikely.
Ever since meeting Kui Yuan, she had diligently guided him, fearing he wouldn't pass the Divine Test.
Furthermore, he had brought her a precious sea soul beast.
How could she, by right or wrong, deceive him at this crucial moment?
Just as Yang Ziyuan was at a loss for words, Kui Yuan's voice suddenly echoed beside him.
"Child, what are you thinking about?"
"Master Kui, why are you here?"
Seeing Kui Yuan suddenly appear, Yang Ziyuan seemed bewildered.
After all, he had been suspicious of him just moments before.
Unexpectedly, he was only momentarily distracted when the other person appeared behind him.
The embarrassment of being caught made him feel humiliated.
"I came to see how far you've come. How's it going? Are those strong winds down there tough?"
"Uh, not bad!"
Hearing this, Kui Yuan gave him a slightly surprised look and said to himself, "Sometimes, the more you cling to something, the more likely you are to fail! You should think about it from a different perspective, just like when you were in the Sea of Life!"
Sea of Life?
Back then, he had only been able to cross the Sea of Life with the help of the young life spirits!
Recalling his experience in the Sea of Life, Yang Ziyuan suddenly remembered something and quickly took off into the air.
Immediately, he unleashed his God of Destruction affinity.
The next second, he felt the entire abyss constantly drawing him in!
This confirmed that he was on the right track!
Thinking of this, Yang Ziyuan gritted his teeth and continued his flight upwards,
stopping only when he reached the atmosphere.
When he looked down, he discovered that the abyss that cut through the plain was actually shaped like a scepter!
