Chapter 60: Wangshu and Xihe

Yuanyi World.

For over two years now, Yuanyi Gu Zhangqing has been staying in Yuanyi World.

The main task has been to organize the World Origin of Yuanyi World to create a favorable growth environment for Xiao Lizi.

Because Yuanyi World is a Middle Thousand World, it is simply much better than when Yuanyi World was still a Small Thousand World back when Xiaosheng was cultivated.

But no matter how good or strong a world is, one must still organize the World Origin to suit the environment of the Life Tree.

Furthermore, one must continuously feed the Life Tree Xiao Lizi a large amount of Yuanyi Divine Source.

Therefore, these past two years, after sealing Taiqing Laozi, Yuanyi Gu Zhangqing has remained here to look after it.

At the same time, he also moved the Yuanyi Spirit Pool into Yuanyi World, just to make it convenient for Xiao Lizi to have enough Divine Source to use.

In this way.

Gu Zhangqing estimates that the birth and growth of Xiao Lizi might not take as long as it did for Xiaosheng.

Originally, from the time Xiaosheng was cultivated until taking human form, it took nearly eight million years.

And as for Xiao Lizi now, from the time of cultivation until now, it has been less than one hundred thousand years.

Although there is a difference of nearly a hundredfold, when Xiao Lizi was being cultivated, it experienced the promotion of Yuanyi World from a Small Thousand World to a Middle Thousand World, as well as the promotion of Gu Zhangqing's Chaos Spiritual Root.

Added to that is the uninterrupted supply of World Origin and Divine Source, as well as the two years of Saint magic power supplied by the Saint Taiqing.

That is why it was possible to skip the million-year awakening time that Xiaosheng had.

At this moment, standing before the Life Tree Xiao Lizi, Gu Zhangqing can clearly sense Xiao Lizi's gradually forming Divine Sense at the core of the Life Tree.

Coupled with Xiao Lizi's Life Origin, which is comparable to a Taiyi Innate Divine Sacred.

Gu Zhangqing estimates that his Holy Spirit God Race will soon welcome another Innate Divine Sacred who is at the Taiyi level the moment they are born.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhangqing could not help but glance at Taiqing Laozi, who was wrapped in the roots of the Life Tree.

There is less than half a year left before this Taiqing Laozi must be released; it is truly a pity. If only he could be kept sealed here to act as a battery, how good that would be.

Gu Zhangqing could not help but think to himself.

Just at this moment, Gu Zhangqing, through the tree roots, suddenly saw Taiqing Laozi's body tremble noticeably.

Gu Zhangqing could not help but curl his lip.

Is this the heaven-human resonance of a Heavenly Rice Saint? To think he could even perceive the danger of an idea I had not yet implemented.

Now is not the time to fall out with Hongjun; keeping these people still has some value.

Having thought this, Gu Zhangqing shook his head and abandoned the unrealistic idea in his heart.

Just as Gu Zhangqing was preparing to leave for the core Benyuan Kongjian of Yuanyi World, a fluctuation of a Boundary Gate suddenly appeared beside him.

Subsequently, Shengling Huang and Holy Spirit Queen Xiaosheng walked out from it.

"Huh? Why have you two come? It should still be a few years before Xiao Lizi awakens, right?"

Gu Zhangqing asked in surprise.

"Mainly to bring Xiaosheng to see her future younger brother!" Shengling Huang smiled.

"Father God, is this my younger brother?" Looking at the massive Life Tree before her, Xiaosheng could clearly feel a sense of familiarity within it.

It was not just the Life Tree, which was the same as her, the same Superior Innate Spiritual Root, but also the origin that stemmed from the same source.

That feeling of blood-related intimacy suddenly welled up from her heart.

"Why haven't you given my brother a name? Calling him Xiao Lizi, how awful that sounds!" Holy Spirit Queen Xiaosheng could not help but frown and say.

Hearing this, Gu Zhangqing could not help but exchange a look with Shengling Huang.

Then he smiled and asked: "Then what name does Xiaosheng think we should give her brother?"

Xiaosheng thought for a moment, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she blinked and asked in return: "By the way, Father God, Xiaosheng still doesn't know our names; why do they all start with 'Gu'?"

Gu Zhangqing and Shengling Huang were both stunned upon hearing this.

Regarding this, they also did not know how to answer.

Strictly speaking, in the Primordial World, many Innate Divine Sacreds name themselves based on their own foundations.

There are no "surnames," only names.

Even the "Clan" (Shi) only applies to the Human Race, not to mention the "courtesy names" that come later.

Such as the Youchao, Suirenshi, Ziyi, and Shaohao tribes and clans.

And a name is related to one's foundation, or omens, and so on.

Just like how Gu Zhangqing has another name, called Yuanyi.

As for Shengling Huang, because she is of one heart and different body with Gu Zhangqing, she did not take a name, but she does have a title, which is Shengling Huang.

Looking at Xiaosheng, who was still puzzled, Gu Zhangqing had no choice but to act mysterious and say: "You will understand in the future."

Seeing this, the Holy Spirit Queen, though puzzled, did not pursue the matter to the end; instead, she was very earnestly thinking about a name for the Life Tree Xiao Lizi.

At this time.

She looked at the sky of this Middle Thousand World, Yuanyi World.

Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she excitedly called out: "Then let's call my brother 'Xing'!"

As she spoke, she could not help but look inquiringly at Gu Zhangqing and Shengling Huang.

"Xing? Gu Xing'er, with the nickname Xiao Lizi?"

Gu Zhangqing and Shengling Huang could not help but murmur and savor the name.

"How is it?" Gu Sheng'er looked at the two of them as they savored it, and could not help but ask with anticipation.

Seeing this, Gu Zhangqing could not help but praise: "A very good name. Then Xiao Lizi shall be called Xing from now on, Gu Xing'er!"

"Hehe-he~!"

Seeing that she had successfully chosen a name for her future brother, Gu Sheng'er looked at the Life Tree Li Xing'er before her and could not help but laugh happily.

Watching the happy Xiaosheng on the side, both Gu Zhangqing and the other could not help but smile helplessly.

Because.

The name Li Ling'er was chosen by them, and it was done without the consent of the Holy Spirit Queen.

Forget it, let's just consider it compensation for her!

Gu Zhangqing thought to himself.

At this moment, Shengling Huang looked at Taiqing Laozi, who was wrapped in the roots of the Life Tree, and sighed to Gu Zhangqing.

"Have you thought about how much Taiqing Laozi will resent our God Race with his abilities after doing this?"

As he spoke, he could not help but reveal a grave expression, "Under the Great Calamity of the Witch-Demon-God Three Races, he will certainly not let such an opportunity pass!"

Regarding this, Gu Zhangqing appeared quite calm.

"What you can think of, I have also thought of, but in the end, I still did it!" Gu Zhangqing said calmly.

Shengling Huang was not particularly surprised; after all, their styles of conduct and ways of thinking were the same.

The two were silent for a while.

Subsequently, Shengling Huang said with a firm tone: "Even if we didn't do this, Taiqing Laozi would not stop completely. However, let's just watch; this seat, the God Emperor of the Divine Court, will not let him have another chance to reach out to the Holy Spirit God Race!"

"There are seven Heavenly Rice Seven Saints, and after the Great Calamity arrives, adding you, I estimate there will only be four!"

Gu Zhangqing said this, then suddenly asked again: "What do you think of the Wu Clan?"

Regarding this, Shengling Huang smiled.

"Rest assured, I have long since arranged for Huangtian to be over there. As long as Houtu Zuwu makes any move, I will inform Huangtian of the specific course of action."

Seeing this, Gu Zhangqing nodded lightly, then murmured with a smile: "Hehe, Reincarnation, is it?"

Just at this moment, the Holy Spirit Queen Xiaosheng drifted over from the Life Tree, Xiao Lizi.

She asked excitedly with a flushed little face: "Father God, is Xing'er about to awaken soon? Sheng'er can sense his faint consciousness!"

"Is that so? Then I estimate Sheng'er will soon be able to talk to her little brother Xing'er!"

Regarding this, Gu Zhangqing teased with a smile.

"Mm-hmm, I know, I just wonder if Xing'er will be able to bloom like me and then give birth to a Holy Spirit?"

Speaking of this, a flash of excited Divine Light shone in Gu Sheng'er's eyes.

"Rest assured, he will definitely bloom!"

"Father God wouldn't lie to me, would he? You must know that Father God hasn't bloomed yet~" Gu Sheng'er asked with her eyes curved in suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhangqing immediately felt terrible.

"Hahaha~!" Shengling Huang laughed from the side.

Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Court.

Ever since Di Jun returned to the Heavenly Court from Wahuang Heaven, the entire Heavenly Court had entered a state of tense preparation for war.

First.

Di Jun secretly summoned three hundred and sixty-five Demon Gods and one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Demon Kings to conduct a mysterious drill in the depths of the Primordial Starry Sky.

Because the Tianji was chaotic, and because the Primordial Starry Sky was blocked by Donghuang Taiyi's Chaos Bell during the drill, the other Demon Gods and Demon Kings did not know what was happening.

But they knew.

Every time those secretly summoned Demon Gods and Demon Kings returned from the drills, their cultivation would increase by a notch, which truly made them envious.

Whenever they were asked the reason, they would all decline: It cannot be spoken of.

Taiyin Palace.

On this day, the Sun Goddess and Empress Xihe came to the Taiyin Goddess Wangshu's Taiyin Palace.

"Sister, why have you come to your younger sister's place today?" Wangshu, who was in cultivation, sensed Xihe's arrival and welcomed her with concern.

She knew.

During this period, Xihe had been enduring the pain of losing nine nephews, often spending time with the tenth prince while missing the other Golden Crow Crown Princes.

Coming here today must mean there was something important.

Xihe was seen holding Wangshu's jade hand, asking with a look of anticipation on her face.

"Little sister, how has elder sister treated you all these years?"

Hearing these words, Wangshu was slightly surprised in her heart, not understanding why Xihe would ask such a question.

However, she smiled on the surface: "Elder sister has naturally treated me very well. If it weren't for elder sister, I might still be suffering in solitude on the Taiyin Star!"

It turned out.

When the Demon Clan was first established, the Taiyin Goddess Wangshu was unable to take human form from the Taiyin Star due to her Heavenly Industry Position.

As the most important stars in the Honghuang, the Star Spirits belonging to the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star were very difficult to take human form.

Fortunately, at that time, the Demon Race Two Emperors' Di Jun had obtained the Zhou Tian Star Chart from the Ziwei Star.

Then, using the power of the Zhou Tian Star Chart, he allowed the Sun Goddess Xihe to take human form with a Star Spirit Body, and the Sun Star did not disappear.

Subsequently.

The Sun Goddess Xihe begged the then Demon Emperor Di Jun to also have Wangshu take human form from the Taiyin Star with a Star Spirit Body.

From then on.

Wangshu formed a bond of gratitude with Xihe for helping her take human form.

Because both were Star Spirit Bodies and both were Goddesses, the two addressed each other as sisters.

After hearing this, Xihe's eyes became slightly fervent.

Then she was heard saying: "Elder sister wants to ask little sister for a favor~"

After speaking, she stared fixedly at Wangshu.

Seeing this, Wangshu sighed inwardly, deciding to consider it as repaying the debt of gratitude for her human form back then.
