Chapter 2177: Lady Lady Lady Mitian and the Death Divinity
After just a dozen breaths, He Lingchuan received feedback from the divine bone necklace, so he lightly nodded: "Fine, very reasonable."
He walked over to open the window, reached into his chest, and made a throwing motion.
A cluster of green light was flung out, circling halfway around the garden as if sensing direction, then shot up into the sky.
This was the avatar of Narok Tian.
The Great Vase had originally planted it as a tree, imprisoning it in Mist Valley. It had been locked away for five or six years, and today it finally saw daylight again.
But after the green light flew only a few zhang, a handful of spider silk shot out from the treetops nearby, wrapping it tightly with a soft swoosh.
No matter how the green light darted left and right, it could not break free from the spiderweb's hold.
Zhu Xiuer's voice drifted over: "You all right?"
"I'm fine, let it go."
So the spiderweb was retracted, the green light regained freedom, and it hurriedly accelerated upward, fearing further obstacles along the way.
After a dozen breaths, it vanished into the night curtain.
He Lingchuan then closed the window and walked back to his chair.
The incense before the small statue had already gone out when he opened the window.
He Lingchuan relit the incense and sat down again.
"I sent it back for you—take stock."
Narok Tian grunted: "Still, you have a bit of sincerity."
"I always keep my word; working with me is always smooth and pleasant." He Lingchuan didn't forget to promote himself, then asked, "I've sent back your avatar—now answer my question: When did Lady Lady Lady Mitian obtain the Death Divinity?"
He estimated that in the Panlong World, Lady Lady Lady Mitian and the Red General were growing increasingly hostile, their falling-out imminent. From the evidence he'd gathered, the historical Red General should have defeated Lady Lady Lady Mitian, but the Panlong World's trajectory had diverged too far from real history, so he wasn't sure how their conflict would end.
Besides, the spiritual energy in the Panlong World was recovering too fast, and the Red General's power was growing too quickly—it seemed their confrontation would come much earlier.
That probably wasn't a good thing.
It would be best to gain more information about Lady Lady Lady Mitian from Narok Tian, such a major deity.
"Then I don't know either—it seems that when He appeared in the Divine Realm, He already had this divinity. At least long ago, other heavenly gods had seen Him use this divinity against enemies."
"So, like you, He rose to power only after obtaining the divinity?"
"Perhaps." Narok Tian said, "The Divine Realm is vast; we cannot possibly know the origins of every god and divine host. Seeing as you returned my avatar so readily, I'll tell you a bit of history: actually, no one has ever witnessed the fall of the Ancient Death God."
"Huh?" He Lingchuan's heart leapt, "What do you mean?"
"The falls of the Ancient Life God and the Ancient Fate God had witnesses and were clearly recorded." Narok Tian added, "But the Ancient Death God broke through the encirclement and vanished—no trace since. Over a hundred years later, Lady Lady Lady Mitian appeared, secretive about his past, so the Divine Realm has long suspected He might have some unclear connection to the Death God."
"Is that possible?" He Lingchuan immediately thought of Lady Lady Lady Mitian's hatred toward the Lingxu Gods.
He even willingly helped Panlong City fight other heavenly demons—what kind of deep hatred is this?
"Who knows?" Narok Tian drawled, "Over a hundred years ago, Lady Lady Lady Mitian seemed to want to use the Great Vase to personally descend to the human realm—did you know that?"
He Lingchuan spoke the plain truth: "I've heard that claim, but found no evidence."
Of course there's no evidence—because Lady Lady Lady Mitian never succeeded.
"The Lingxu Gods argued about this for a long time. Including Miao Zhantian, who believed Lady Lady Lady Mitian had deep ties to the Great Vase, enabling Him to descend to the human realm—other heavenly gods might not have that possibility."
He Lingchuan gave a long, drawn-out "oh."
He had heard this claim long ago; one reason the gods craved the Great Vase was to use it to descend to the human realm, because Lady Lady Lady Mitian might have shown them the way, proving this path was viable.
The barrier between the two realms is the Heavenly Luo Xing, and the Great Vase was once part of it. Saying it could help gods descend to the human realm makes perfect sense.
But now, hearing Narok Tian's explanation, this path hasn't been proven, and even among the heavenly gods there are doubts.
This matter is murky—even the Great Heavenly Gods are lost in the mist, only able to struggle with studying other methods of divine descent.
If Lady Lady Lady Mitian truly has a connection to the Ancient Death God, then Miao Zhantian's suspicion makes sense, for the Heavenly Luo Xing is closely tied to the Three Holy Gods.
In an unrecordable age, the Three Holy Gods joined forces to capture a new world's heart-core.
This heart-core holds immense energy and great potential—if not captured, it might have grown into another Great Thousandfold World.

"Wait, isn't the Heavenly Luo Xing forged by the Three Holy Gods?"
"Not entirely." Narok Tian gave a definite answer, "The Three Holy Gods refined most of it, nearly exhausting their power, before being defeated by the Lingxu Holy Sovereign and other Great Heavenly Gods. After countless years, the Lingxu Holy Sovereign, Lady Lady Lady Mitian, Miao Zhantian, and over ten other Great Heavenly Gods took over, completing the Three Holy Gods' remaining work."
"By then, you heavenly demons had already prepared to withdraw from the human realm, right?" That is, at the end of the Ancient War, heavenly demons overall couldn't match the immortals, so they retreated.
"Yes."
That is to say, Lady Lady Lady Mitian participated in the forging of the Heavenly Luo Xing.
Thinking of this, He Lingchuan faintly felt the story surrounding the world's heart-core was too fantastical.
The Heavenly Luo Xing was first forged by the Three Holy Gods and the Lingxu Great Heavenly Gods working together;
Its fragments were struck down by the black dragon, then refined by human true immortals, including the Three Water True Person, into the Great Vase.
These two divine artifacts could be formed because they gathered the top power from both realms, the painstaking effort of all the masters.
What kind of force lurks in the Miao Mingming, able to silently promote this?
Could such a force surpass immortals and gods?
Again, thinking of the Panlong World's imminent clash between Lady Lady Lady Mitian and the Red General, He Lingchuan's mind was in turmoil.
Narok Tian gave him no time to think, directly asking again: "By the way, do you have the formula for the trait weapon?"
He spoke of ancient secrets so well, then suddenly changed the subject—He Lingchuan knew this guy was about to haggle again.
"Yes." He replied impatiently, "You won't just open your mouth and demand it, will you?"
Is this formula given just because it's said?
Narok Tian chuckled: "I'll offer another piece of information in exchange."
"Is the amount enough?"
Narok Tian complained: "You think the formula for trait weapons is valuable, easy to keep secret? I just want to get a head start."
The characteristic weapons of the Middle Ages, which had just reappeared in the world, were still equipped by the Cangyan army. This was one of the key factors that enabled the Dragon God Army to achieve a great victory over the Ya army.
But the Nine Abysses Great Emperor's painstaking scheming was merely to seize an early advantage.
