Chapter 1211: Slipping Through the Net

The family that possessed the jurisdiction of this star was named Zhenyi.

The word "Zhen" (True), according to the rules of the god lineage of the Fourth Star Ring, could only be added by a tribe that had appeared with a True God, as an honor.

And in the cognition memory of the butterfly god, the jurisdiction of the Zhenyi tribe was not just this star, but also the vast nebula outside and several universes in the surroundings.

All of them were owned by this family.

Originally, all of this should have been eternal, after all, even if a True God fell, he would return, so before a new True God appeared, the jurisdiction would remain unchanged forever.

But this family had some accidents.

Their True God was suspected to have fallen many years ago, and had not returned to this day...

This matter gradually revealed its consequences as time passed; the Zhenyi tribe could not forcefully suppress the tribes within their jurisdiction.

This made them only able to gradually shrink their range, until now, the only ones who could listen to their conscription were this star and several dozen stars nearby.

And this kind of True God not returning was not common in the god system, but it was not non-existent.

Generally speaking, most were intercepted and blocked during the process of returning, causing the return to appear accidental.

Xu Qing had personally participated in similar matters, and he had also been used as bait...

Yu Liuchen had wanted to fish for a True God who was about to return back then.

"So the secret of returning is ultimately not perfect. With the development of the era, and with more and more gods and cultivators exploring..."

"Some brilliance is just in the past."

Xu Qing, transformed into a butterfly, flew in the firmament, getting closer and closer to the three hundred and sixty emerald light rings.

He could already feel that within the thirty-sixth ring, a large number of gods were gathering.

That was the place of conscription for the Zhenyi family, whose jurisdiction had shrunk severely.

It was also the place Xu Qing chose, where he could rely on the Mud Fox's secret technique to mix into the place where the breath was mixed!

"I hope the Mud Fox's secret technique can be effective!"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, and in his heart, he also prepared to fail and break in forcefully. Subsequently, with a rush, he crossed the void and appeared before the thirty-sixth emerald light ring.

The moment he arrived, emerald light shrouded, and even more divine might descended, and Xu Qing didn't pause at all, flapping his wings and flying in abruptly.

The next instant, he entered the light ring.

Inside, it was emerald-colored, boundless and endless, like dyed void, only in the center, a huge painting scroll had been opened, spreading to both sides.

As for the depiction on the canvas, it was outlined by countless lines in a dense manner, unable to see what was drawn, quite abstract. Looking at it for the first time, it was very difficult to see what it was.

One could only vaguely see that there seemed to be multiple forms.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. This painting gave him a strange feeling, so he looked at it carefully.

And soon, he saw that something was wrong, and while feeling trance in his heart, he also had touches.

"This painting..."

This painting couldn't actually be described as abstract, because only when one didn't understand would one use this word to express it.

In reality, with Xu Qing's state of mind and cultivation, in his eyes, this was actually a map of heaven and earth, transforming into a world.

It was just that... it was to draw all the three-dimensional faces of all living beings and things in the world, and all the brushstrokes fell on this painting screen.

In this way, at first glance, it was naturally dense and weird, twisted and abstract.

"This object is definitely not something a God Platform can have. It should be an object of the True God level. The performance within it... could this be the inner quality of the divine pressure that can cause distortion in the surroundings?"

Xu Qing felt strange in his heart, and with a flicker, he was about to approach this painting.

But in an instant, arrays of divine sense swept over from the world within the painting.

Accompanying the divine sense was god after god revealed from the shattering within the painting.

The number reached over a hundred, including True Fire and Flawless, and there were also some God Platforms.

And there were a few that caught Xu Qing's attention.

One was a bronze-corroded weird eye.

The pupil of this eye was actually a bronze bell, and as for outside the pupil, star sand flowed, and tentacles grew and drifted all around, with the ends splitting into Buddha-hand-shaped suction cups.

With every breath, it pulled the pupil to contract, ringing the bell within, emitting divine sounds that made people crazy.

There was also one, even weirder, which was a shriveled old woman, completely naked, with bumps growing all over her skin; those were thirty-six thousand human-faced stars flowing under her skin.

Withered hair drifted, pulling thousands of floating ancient corpses in the void behind her, each corpse chanting funeral scriptures of different eras.

Another one, containing withering and prosperity, had begonia flowers blooming on the left half of the body that could glimpse the past life, while the right half was peeling off like burnt wood, and nine bronze soul lamps floated in the chest cavity, with the souls of the drowned floating in the lamp flames.

The place where her feet were rooted was chaotic in space-time, her left foot stepping on the Ice Age, and her right foot trapped in the scorching star core.

This one attracted the most gazing from Xu Qing.

He felt a divine power similar to his own Constitution on the other party.

This made Xu Qing's spirit tighten, and he also knew that these gods were mostly not from this star, so what was displayed at this moment was their divine appearance.

And this was also the way gods fought, similar to cultivators clashing with Daoist thoughts, to determine each other's status.

"This opportunity..."

Xu Qing's heart moved slightly, and the Mud Fox understood his intent. Both sides simultaneously used the secret technique of blending into the outside world with the help of this opportunity to unfold their divine appearance.

The next instant, Xu Qing's body flickered, and his butterfly form changed instantly, his butterfly wings flapping violently.

One could see that the unfolded butterfly wings were like spreading a reincarnation millstone, each scale wing woven from the skin of unknown creatures, and flowing with crimson light, pulling the surrounding void.

Especially his forewings, each inlaid with ninety-six thousand weeping blood compound eyes, each pupil reflecting lightning, and at this moment, as he flapped his wings, they emitted a resonance sound of ghost mourning.

Responding to all the gods who swept over with divine sense.

And even weirder, the two butterfly antennae of this butterfly transformed by Xu Qing were each entangled with a scarlet long river, and at the tips, they branched, hanging and floating with rusty ghost lamps.

Flying straight to the painting scroll.

Its butterfly wings flapping seemed to secretly match the rhythm of the kalpa, and one could see the left wing lifting the annihilation tide, the right wing sprinkling the primordial nectar, and as for the scale powder sprinkled along the way, one could see thousands of scale cow shadows worshipping.

It was precisely the divine appearance of the butterfly god Xu Qing had possessed!

Suddenly, those who swept over with divine sense mostly revealed awe, and as for those few gods Xu Qing had gazed at, their auras were slightly retracted.

Letting the butterfly transformed by Xu Qing fall into the painting scroll, suspended in an empty position.

!

At the same time, divine sound echoed.

"Eternal Tribulation Underworld Butterfly!"

"Haven't seen you for a hundred years, you are not far from breaking through the current realm."

This divine sound came from the shattering within the painting scroll, and accompanying this sound was a huge black lotus, rising slowly.

In the black lotus, a dwarf sat, this dwarf's body was pitch black, surrounded by three hundred and sixty ancient remains, each of which emitted not-so-bad pressure.

On his brow, there was also a gold sand embellishment, which was solidified True God blood.

His pupils reflected the emerald light rings, and he was playing with a scale in his hand, at this moment transmitting a sound that shook the entire painting scroll, causing the gods in the painting scroll to lower their heads one after another.

This one was precisely the god of the Zhenyi family in charge of this star.

Xu Qing had also seen this god in the butterfly god's cognition, knowing that the other party was the Zhenyi of this generation, and also the initiator of this conscription.

So Xu Qing lowered his head slightly, expressing awe.

The dwarf nodded slightly, no longer speaking, but closed his eyes to meditate on the black lotus.

The surroundings also quieted down, and all the gods were waiting.

Xu Qing was also putting away his divine appearance, but his aura, at this moment, had already blended with the surroundings with the help of the secret technique he and the Mud Fox unfolded simultaneously.

Maintaining this state, Xu Qing was also waiting for the passage of time.

Soon, three days passed.

The agreed day was getting closer and closer, and in these three days, dozens more gods arrived, most of whom were conscripted from other stars, and a few were like the butterfly god Xu Qing transformed into, belonging to this star.

Like the lightning worshipped by the humanoid tribe, like the god formed during the burning of the fungus carpet.

At the same time, in these three days, True God divine sense from the outside world also appeared several times.

The most frequent one was the joint probing of three True Gods.

In Xu Qing's vigilance, the Mud Fox's method was effective, and those divine senses did not see through Xu Qing's hiding here.

As for the other gods here, it seemed they were all used to the frequent searching of True Gods during this period, and their reaction to this was not big.

"As long as there is no probing of more than five True Gods, this secret technique can cover it. Two more days... after these gods leave, it will be the time for me to leave!"

Xu Qing muttered in his heart.

And these last two days, in Xu Qing's waiting, seemed longer than ever, but fortunately everything was smooth. Although there was True God probing, it did not exceed the limit of Xu Qing's covering.

Just like this, the agreed day arrived.

The moment the time was reached, all the gods here scattered their auras simultaneously, and the dwarf sitting cross-legged on the black lotus opened his eyes and waved his hand.

Suddenly, black stones were scattered, falling before each god, and were collected by these gods with their respective methods.

Xu Qing also raised his hand to hold it, and the moment he touched it, he knew that this object contained the Godhead seal of a True God, which was of little use to him, but for gods, it helped in assisting their own breakthrough in realm.

"Everyone, this is the agreed True God Stone."

"And after this secret realm exploration, the remaining True God Stones have also been prepared."

"Now... set off!"

The dwarf's brow gold blood flashed violently, transforming into a golden light, rendering the emerald light rings in his eyes, making them appear in the outside world, emitting arrays of teleportation ripples.

Subsequently, gods had already flown out first, rushing toward the light ring, disappearing in an instant.

As the gods followed one after another, Xu Qing was about to unfold the departure strategy he had prepared in advance, but just at this moment, a scene that made Xu Qing feel strong crisis in his heart appeared.

In the starry sky, there was vast True God divine sense, roaring like the sea, sweeping across the nebula where the star was located, and the number of True Gods contained within exceeded ten!

The moment he perceived it, Xu Qing's pupils contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.

He knew clearly that as long as he was swept by this, his own hiding would definitely be exposed.

So at the critical moment, he didn't hesitate at all, decisively giving up the thought of leaving, his body flickered, rushing straight toward the light ring in front.

Disappearing in an instant. ===== CHAPTER 1214 =====
