Chapter 195: God Above Gods

Under Lin Chao's gaze, Su Lingxue's mind went blank.

What was happening before her eyes exceeded her imagination.

"Feng..." Her gums trembled; she did not know how to address Lin Chao.

Lin Chao's gaze was cold and stern, devoid of any emotion: "As for today's events, just pretend nothing happened."

Su Lingxue did not know how to answer, so she could only nod repeatedly.

"We will continue to cooperate according to our previous agreement," Lin Chao said in a cold voice.

Hearing this, Su Lingxue felt as if she had fallen into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cavern.

At this moment, looking at Lin Chao, she could only nod.

Other than agreeing, she had no idea what to say.

Lin Chao withdrew his gaze and let it fall upon Die Niao: "If today's events are revealed by you, your fate..."

"I won't! I won't!" Su Lingxue hurriedly responded, very agitated.

"Hmm." Lin Chao waved his hand, and a green light instantly enveloped Su Lingxue.

Su Lingxue's figure instantly vanished, and she left Wangchuan Cliff.

Not long after, Su Lingxue landed on the ground.

At this moment, her face was flushed; she took a deep look at Wangchuan Cliff, her breathing rate quickened, and her ample chest rose and fell accordingly.

"Feng Yan... who exactly are you?"

In Jing Country, there were not many forces capable of annihilating the Wang Family.

These forces were all considered top-tier within Jing Country.

And yet, even these top-tier forces would not dare to say they could annihilate the Wang Family just like that.

The repercussions caused by this were not something these top-tier forces were willing to bear.

"Feng Yan, who exactly are you?" Su Lingxue's body was still trembling, her eyes filled with brilliance.

If the Wang Family were destroyed, the greatest crisis facing the Su Group would also vanish.

Regardless, this was a good thing for her.

On Wangchuan Cliff.

Lin Chao's gaze fell upon Hong Yin: "Notify the other Ghosts; prepare to annihilate the Wang Family."

Hong Yin looked deeply at Lin Chao: "As you command."

His gaze swept past Die Niao, a look of contemplation flashing in his eyes, before he finally vanished.

On Wangchuan Cliff, only Lin Chao and Die Niao remained.

"Die Niao..."

Lin Chao looked at the tiny, strange butterfly, his gaze filled with tenderness and sorrow.

Regrettably, he did not receive the response he desired.

Whether it was in the Wusheng Well or during those final days, whenever Lin Chao called Die Niao's name, she would immediately respond with a crisp, clear voice.

In the final few years, the two were inseparable.

"Die Niao, what exactly happened?" Lin Chao's gaze held self-reproach.

Back in Jiuzhou, his injuries were irreversible; it was Die Niao who used her own blood to feed him for a thousand years, only then awakening him.

At this moment, the butterfly in his hand lacked its former spirit, appearing like a puppet.

But Lin Chao knew this was his Die Niao, or a part of Die Niao.

He desperately wanted to know what had happened to Die Niao after he died, and what had transpired.

Why did she appear in the Qiyuan World and transform into a Ghost?

"Die Niao, where did your Spirituality go?" Lin Chao spoke to himself, though there could be no response.

The Die Niao before him was incomplete; she lacked the Spirituality of a living being within her body, making it impossible for her to have any true consciousness of her own, forcing her to rely on instinct or some kind of pattern.

Why did she become like this?

Why was she carrying stones to fill the sea?

All of this left Lin Chao feeling both bewildered and heartbroken.

At this moment, an urge to return to Jiuzhou surged in Lin Chao's heart.

He wanted to find Die Niao's spirit and restore her to her original state.

The Die Niao before him was incomplete, merely a part of Die Niao.

Just then, the Die Niao in Lin Chao's palm suddenly spread its wings and took flight; it landed on the ground, picked up a stone, and flew in a wobbly manner, as if continuing its mission.

"Die Niao..." Lin Chao called out.

His figure also stood alongside Die Niao.

He was afraid that Die Niao would fall.

Regrettably, Die Niao no longer had any spirit in her eyes at this moment; she continued to flap her wings and fly, following her instincts or some kind of pattern.

"Die Niao, I will definitely make you wake up." Lin Chao's gaze was firm.

Back then, Die Niao had used a thousand years to awaken him.

Today, even if it took ten thousand years, he would make Die Niao return to her original state.

Haidu Mansion.

Ye Mei's face revealed a look of shock: "What, the Lord wants to take action against the Wang Family."

Beside her, the other Seventh Tier Ghosts also wore complex expressions on their faces.

"Hehe, this is our chance." The one who spoke was Mie You, who had always been bellicose.

Yuan Kong, who had been silent all this time, spoke: "His Lordship's personality has always been... docile; he has never cared in the slightest for the affairs of the world. That he would take action against the Wang Family is beyond my expectations."

The other Ghosts felt the same way.

Having followed Feng Yan for so many years, their only impression was that His Lordship was a cultivation machine without feelings.

No entertainment, no daily life, no sex life.

It was as if, apart from cultivation, he did not care about anything in the world at all.

According to Hong Yin, His Lordship is angry; he is furious.

This was the first time they had ever seen such an emotion in His Lordship.

"What I am most curious about is that His Lordship seems to know the Strange Butterfly; he is angry for the sake of the Strange Butterfly.

That is the Strange Butterfly, a Strange from the legends. Don't you all think this is very interesting?" The one who spoke was a woman, also a Seventh Tier, and her gaze was meaningful.

Sure enough, the Ghosts present all fell silent upon hearing these words.

"Rumor has it that the Stranges of the world are related to the gods," Yuan Kong said, his voice incomparably aged.

The gazes of the Ghosts present tightened.

Those are gods—gods whose true bodies do not perish even when the world is destroyed.

It means they are immortal and indestructible; mortals cannot harm them in the slightest.

Stranges are also immortal and indestructible, representing a certain Rule.

"Rumor has it that all Stranges are the incarnations of fallen gods.

The Strange Butterfly may have also been a god in the past."

Regarding the identity of Stranges, there have been many speculations in the Qiyuan World.

Among them, the one most accepted by the strong is that Stranges are the incarnations of fallen gods, a woven body of Rules.

"His Lordship knows the Strange Butterfly and seems quite familiar with it. I probably don't need to say what this implies, right?" Yuan Kong spoke, his voice incomparably aged, carrying a trace of trembling.

"You mean to say that His Lordship is a god descended to the world?" Mie You frowned. "But... the Young Fierce are rampaging, the God Kingdom has collapsed, and all the gods have already fallen."

All the Ghosts were silent.

"What if His Lordship is a God Above Gods?"

Silence, shock, excitement.

Various complex emotions permeated among these Ghosts.

This meant an opportunity for them.

Every God Above Gods can establish a God Lineage.

If His Lordship is truly a God Above Gods, they all have the chance to become gods!

That is a god!

Hong Yin looked at the Ghosts and took a deep breath: "There is no need to discuss these matters. What we should be thinking about is how to annihilate the Wang Family while causing the least amount of impact ourselves."

"To annihilate the Wang Family, we should just sweep through them directly," Mie You said.

"We cannot. The Seven Great Families of the Capital all possess Sacred Artifacts.

If we rashly take action against the Wang Family, we could easily wipe them out, but it might attract the attention of the other Seven Great Families."

At this moment, Ye Mei, who had rarely spoken, suddenly said: "Actually, I have an older sister who possesses a Pseudo-Saint Artifact that can conceal aura and seal off space.

I think she could also acknowledge His Lordship as her master."

Ye Mei's ability to conceal her form is ranked first in Xinghai City.

This is related to her own strength and also to that Pseudo-Saint Artifact.

"Ye Mei, is your sister the Ye Luo King of the Ghost Domain?" Yuan Kong asked, his voice complex.

"Hehe." Ye Mei chuckled, neither admitting nor denying it. "My sister just happened to come out to find me and is not far from Xinghai City. I hold half the control over that Pseudo-Saint Artifact of hers."

The Ghosts breathed a sigh of relief.

With a Pseudo-Saint Artifact, annihilating the Wang Family will become even simpler.

Hong Yin's gaze was cold and stern: "Three days from now, annihilate the Wang Family? Any objections?"

"None."

"None."
