Su Su reached out to take the talisman: "Not only that, but I'm afraid I'll owe you a favor."
In the apocalypse, everyone seeks self-preservation, and no one is exempt. Possessing this Nirvana Talisman is like having an extra life. This extra life is completely different from bringing Ming Qi into the Nine-Directions Palace.
Bai Bing also knew the value of this talisman. After accepting it, he expressed his deep gratitude to Ming Qi.
The three of them ignored the others and sat down on a step.
"What are your plans next?"
Bai Bing was the first to ask Ming Qi.
"What about you?"
Ming Qi didn't answer, but instead asked. The City of the Gods had previously had a large teleportation array, but the two of them hadn't left. This puzzled them. Given the opportunity to leave the Desolation, why did they stay?
Bai Bing remained silent, but Su Su beside her smiled wryly, "Originally, there's a teleportation array here that leads to another world, but Sister Bing wanted to wait for you, so..."
…
Ming Qi was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. It wasn't impossible for Bai Bing to wait for her, but it was truly wrong to have given up such a chance to escape so hastily.
"Nonsense! Why didn't you leave when you had the chance?"
Bai Bing remained silent, simply turning her head away.
Seeing Bai Bing's childish temper, Ming Qi was helpless. A large teleportation array wasn't something that could be built easily. Even with the financial resources of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, building one in such a hurry was already a challenge, and building another was incredibly difficult. As for the City of the Gods, let alone the City of the Gods, they simply didn't have the resources.
After a moment's silence, Ming Qi suddenly said, "Since you have nowhere else to go, why not come with me? I'll find a way to get you out of Tianhuang."
He had pondered this for a long time. There were still many people in the Supreme Diagram. If Ming Qi embarked on the path of divine war in the future, he wouldn't be able to take them with him. He would have to find a suitable place to house them. In that case, one or two more wouldn't matter.
Bai Bing had given up the chance to leave because she waited for him, which made him angry, but also a little grateful. A woman like her was worth her sacrifice.
"Are you sure?"
Bai Bing turned around in confusion. Leaving Tianhuang wasn't something that could be done easily. The only way to reach the other world was through the teleportation array they had built. Without it, there was virtually no chance of leaving Tianhuang unless the gods intervened.
Ming Qi was about to explain when Su Su beside him suddenly laughed, "Bingmei, can't you tell? Your lover has already achieved Martial Godhood. If he wanted to, becoming a god right away wouldn't be difficult."
"Ah..."
Bai Bing exclaimed in surprise, but then her face flushed slightly. As the saying goes, concern can lead to confusion. It wasn't that she couldn't sense Ming Qi's strength, but Ming Qi's sudden arrival had completely thrown her off balance. That's why, after all this time, she hadn't noticed the quantum leap in Ming Qi's power.
"You've far surpassed me."
After her exclamation, Bai Bing quickly calmed down. Back when Ming Qi was just a nobody, she was already one of the Ten Divine Emperors of the Divine Realm. Unexpectedly, in just a short time, this little kid she'd only met briefly had become a peerless powerhouse.
"Let's go."
Ming Qi smiled calmly. His journey to this point had been a complex one, a journey that had involved many twists and turns. While it had been a combination of luck and fortune, it was also inseparable from his own personal efforts. Without his past efforts, he wouldn't have achieved what he had today.
As he spoke, Ming Qi opened the Supreme Map and gestured for Bai Bing and Su Su to enter.
The divine map space was now Ming Qi's personal world, with everything within it under his control.
The two entered the Supreme Map and were struck by the tranquility of a fairyland, home to all living things, flowing water, and towering mountains.
Seeing the two enter the divine map, Ming Qi flashed and followed suit, sending a message to summon those already within.
Soon, those who had been scattered throughout the map gathered, creating a lively atmosphere.
However, there was a noticeable clustering of people. The Purple Star Jade Lord and the other powerful aliens were relatively close together, forming a group, while the group that had previously followed Ming Qi formed a separate group. They remained in this same state even when they appeared before Ming Qi.
Ming Qi was unfazed by this scene. These people were no ordinary people; each had their own ideas. It was just that after following him for so long, they'd grown accustomed to being suppressed by him, making them seem somewhat insignificant. However, one thing was certain: if they were released, any one of them would be a formidable force capable of standing on their own.
"Oh, Master, have you taken in two more?"
Seeing Ming Qi arrive with Bai Bing and Su Su, Purple Star Jade Lord immediately approached with a playful smile. She was fearless, unlike the others who, despite following Ming Qi for so long, wouldn't dare to joke with him.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Ming Qi scolded her harshly, but Purple Star Jade Lord remained unmoved. She simply stood aside with a smile. Although she dared to tease Ming Qi, she always kept her composure, maintaining a perfect sense of propriety.
Ming Qi glanced at everyone and noticed a significant improvement in their strength. He was immediately overjoyed and said, "With Tianhuang's destruction imminent, I will find a safe place for you to temporarily reside."
"Where are you going?"
Yue Dongqing's face darkened upon hearing this. Yaoshan was her home. With Tianhuang's destruction, Yaoshan would naturally not survive. Her entire family would be shattered.
Seeing Yue Dongqing's change in expression, Ming Qi paused for a moment, then sighed. "Well, I'll stay in Tianhuang for a while to see if there are any survivors. I'll take them all out if I can."
"Master, be merciful. However, I'm afraid the divine war has already begun. I doubt many people in Tianhuang will be left alive."
Zi Xing Yu Zhu was considered a high-ranking member of the Tianzui Camp and naturally understood the fundamental purpose of this war.
Ming Qi was aware of Tianhuang's current situation. He acted simply because he didn't want anyone to leave with regrets, such as those he still cared about in Tianhuang.
"Indeed, but I will still go. After I settle you all, I will join the God War!"
Ming Qi's words shocked everyone. Who was Ming Qi joining the God War to support?
Seeing everyone's puzzlement, Ming Qi didn't hide his words and explained, "I am joining the God War to fulfill a promise I made: I will not help any side, not the gods of the Desolate World, the Heavenly Sin Camp, or the Celestial Clan."
"Master, you are mighty!"
The Purple Star Jade Lord immediately flattered him. Ming Qi's words were clear: he would be the enemy of all the gods participating in the God War!
"Let's go."
Ming Qi didn't leave the Divine Diagram. Instead, he activated it, transforming it into a long rainbow and flying out of the City of Gods.
"What about those people?"
Bai Bing remembered that many people were still inside the City of Gods.
"Since they won't listen to my advice, let them fend for themselves..."
