Chapter 241

"Leave the graveyard!"

Accompanying this thought, Li Yu's figure vanished abruptly from the graveyard, which was void of everything except a Desire Demon corpse.

The text that appeared on the old map showed the exploration progress had reached one hundred percent.

It looked like Li Yu had impressively completed an exploration mission, but in reality, this was an invalid mission.

After all, compared to other areas of the 【Borderland】, there were no mystic objects or resources in this graveyard.

Regarding this, Li Yu was also full of complaints.

"I came to the borderland to avoid disaster."

"Who would have thought I'd inexplicably step into thin air and fall into such a dangerous trap, almost losing my life."

"This graveyard is probably just the outer area of the borderland; as for the battlefield of the gods in the depths and the things that triggered the chaotic battle... whoever wants to explore can go."

Li Yu complained while retreating along the route he had come.

But he did not immediately leave the area covered by the Eternal Mist; instead, he stood in the mist and began to ponder and test.

"Caution is the parent of safety!"

"Although I have boosted a killing divine ability like the 【Myriad Laws Calamity-Extinguishing Longevity Sword Array】 and am invincible at the same tier, that is only to this extent."

"Facing a true god like the 'Lord of Myriad Changes,' it is still certain death."

"Especially the current Myriad Changes; because of the Snowy Mountain Mystic Buddha affair, I'm afraid their mood isn't very beautiful, and they will inevitably stay for a few more days and cause trouble."

"If I go out now and happen to be caught red-handed by them, wouldn't that be the end of it."

"But I can't hide in the graveyard forever; the Demon Star Command might restart the summons at any time, but the Eternal Mist isolates everything, and it seems that includes the Demon Star summons."

"Once missed, my Disaster Star Command will likely be taken back, or I will have to pay some price."

These many thoughts were the reason why Li Yu did not leave the borderland immediately.

But fortunately, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

If it were earlier, Li Yu would have hidden for a longer time.

But now, he already had a treasure that could ensure safety.

"【Space Demon Luo Pan】!"

"This object can disrupt space-time, hiding my figure, Qi, and even everything in chaotic space-time, although it can only be maintained for a very short breath."

"But it is enough for me to cast a spell and contact the Buddha or Toad God to confirm whether the Lord of Myriad Changes is still there."

"My high inspiration also helps."

"Unless I am so unlucky that the Lord of Myriad Changes' avatar, the Emerald Living Buddha, is standing right outside the mist, and I run into them as soon as I go out."

"Otherwise, there will definitely be no problem."

As the thought settled, Li Yu had already summoned the Luo Pan that seemed to be cast purely from cosmic starlight.

Under the guidance of the map, he quickly took a step.

The next moment!

His figure, which had become distorted and blurred because he was holding the Luo Pan, appeared abruptly outside the borderland.

In an instant, he completed his perception and prayer.

And before he wanted to retreat back into the mist, he received a positive result.

"The gaze of the Lord of Myriad Changes, and their avatar, the Emerald Living Buddha, have both left the present world."

"Safe and without danger."

"Whew."

Li Yu suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.

Clearly, he had already had a great harvest, obtained a mysterious curiosity, and boosted a terrifying great divine ability.

But at this moment, he was as timid and cautious as a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

But there was no help for it; the Lord of Myriad Changes was too terrifying.

Although he was unwilling and it wasn't intentional.

But now it seemed he had already forged many grudges with this evil god.

Li Yu felt a headache whenever he thought about it; it was hard to imagine what kind of revenge he would face from the Lord of Myriad Changes once the matter was exposed in the future.

"Most likely, they will scheme to make me half-dead first."

"After that, they will try their best to subdue me; if I'm lucky, I might even become a God Child, not just a God-Chosen."

"Hmm? Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem too bad."

Although he was teasing himself like this, in reality, Li Yu had no such thoughts.

If he could ascend to godhood himself, why would he want to be another evil god's son?

Having been in Wanfu City for so long, Li Yu's ambition had also expanded quite a bit.

"Since there is no danger, return to the Immortal Fortress quickly."

"I wonder if Hongdou succeeded?"

"Is it the Demon Star Command, or the Reincarnation Command?"

Li Yu guessed while driving his sword light, unceremoniously cutting through the firmament and heading toward the Ancient God camp.

Not long after he took off, Li Yu suddenly realized something was wrong.

A strong feeling of "being watched" suddenly arose.

Following his perception, Li Yu looked at the starry sky above his head, where dozens of eerie starlights were flickering.

His eyesight was so abnormal that he saw through it at a glance.

"Flesh-and-Blood Satellites?"

"What's going on? Has the Sacred Nest's 【Star Link Project】 succeeded just like that?"

Li Yu was so surprised.

It was because he knew how difficult this Star Link Project was; not to mention the resistance from the City Lord's Mansion, the terrifying environment of the three forbidden areas themselves was enough to make it difficult for the Star Link Project to operate stably.

Last time, the Sacred Nest quietly launched satellites, and Li Yu took Hongdou to peek and seize the permissions.

Not long after they played with it, the satellites were all destroyed and fell, which showed the difficulty.

Li Yu observed now that these dozens of satellites were actually operating very well, with no signs of crashing at all.

Immediately, doubts grew in his mind.

"Although the permissions for these satellites will most likely still be stolen by Hongdou." "But being careful is never wrong."

Muttering, Li Yu used the Space Demon Luo Pan again.

He dialed it back, and a space-time disturbance was immediately released, actually wiping away all his movements in the past few breaths.

At the same time, the sword light he had transformed into also turned from tangible to intangible.

That's right, this was also one of the characteristics of the Longevity Sword Array.

This divine ability!

It almost exhausted all the top-tier Immortality Pills Li Yu possessed; although there were three failed boosts that almost caused the divine ability to collapse, the remaining five successes still allowed Li Yu to possess a heaven-defying means.

But very quickly, after Li Yu transformed into an intangible sword light and swept past areas like "Aberration Ridge," "Extreme Cold Heavenly Pool," "Cold Ghost Valley," and so on.

Surprise and doubt appeared on his face one after another.

There were too many changes.

To be precise!

Please... collect_(!)

There were too many traces of fighting and war.

Everywhere, very fresh battlefield ruins appeared.

It was as if in the past few days, an army had entered the Wanfu Frozen Plain from all directions and then encountered interception and killing by various parties in Wanfu City.

Although there was not a shred of evidence, inexplicably, a conclusion arose in Li Yu's heart:

"The Lord of Myriad Changes did it!"

"Flesh-and-Blood Satellites, multiple battlefields... perhaps all related to Myriad Changes."

"And, that's not all."

"After being schemed against, they were furious, so they dragged all forces and evil gods into the water and went crazy causing trouble?"

This guess of his was soon verified.

Perhaps after the ultimate bad luck of "being hunted by a juvenile Space Demon," Li Yu's luck ushered in a bottoming out.

He crossed the Wanfu Frozen Plain, and on the way, he didn't encounter any accidents at all.

Several hours later, he drove the intangible sword light back to the Ancient God camp and approached the Immortal Fortress silently.

He originally intended to reveal his figure before entering.

But as soon as he got close, the portal opened automatically.

Li Yu was not surprised by this; he was one with the sword and intangible, but there was a Qi inside the fortress that had merged with his spirit and flesh many times, and it naturally had mysterious perception.

Hongdou!

Muttering, the master and servant, who had been separated for several days, met again.

Just at the first glance, Li Yu noticed a big difference in his mechanical maid.

Although because of the "Spirit-Replenishing Great Method," Hongdou had already looked very much like a human a few days ago, there were still very obvious mechanical traces.

Until now, they were gone.

"Master!"

Li Yu hadn't even landed and stood firm when a soft body of a fox girl appeared in his arms the next moment.

The touch was wonderful, even better than real human flesh.

Her bionic fox girl face was also incredibly vivid, and even in the subtle details, no flaws could be seen.

In her eyes, there was an even more intense and complex emotion.

Even Li Yu, who was considered a "male succubus" himself, almost couldn't hold on at this moment.

Too fascinating.

Of course, it could also be explained as the two having performed spirit-replenishment, attracting each other, as if they were one.

"Demon Star Command or...?"

Just looking at the wonderful changes in Hongdou, Li Yu knew she must have obtained one of the two divine commands, just didn't know which one.

By common sense, as a Heaven-Craft God-Chosen and Heaven-Craft seed, it should be the Reincarnation Command nine times out of ten.

But she was in Wanfu City, and in name, she had already been expelled from the orthodox sect by the 【Heaven-Craft Sect Headquarters】, and her temperament had some yandere components, so it wouldn't be strange if she were chosen by the Demon Star Command.

As soon as he asked, an unexpected answer also sounded immediately:

"Replying to Master."

"Hongdou was chosen by a Demon Star Command and a Reincarnation Command at the same time; in the end, because of my own attributes, the Demon Star Command competition failed, and my machine soul has been branded by the Reincarnation Command."

"In order to compete for me, the Reincarnation Command underwent a mutation, giving some permissions higher than other Reincarnators."

"But that is a kind of bug; I cannot leak it, otherwise it will become invalid."

Li Yu could be said to have never heard the content of these few sentences, to the point that he almost forgot to ask about other things, such as the changes in Wanfu City over the past few days.

Could the Demon Star Command and the Reincarnation Command actually choose a target at the same time?

Did the Demon Star Command, which occupied the geographical advantage, fail the competition?

Higher permissions?

At this very moment, Li Yu suddenly had the urge to forcibly open a Truth Bubble and peek at Hongdou again.

Picking up a treasure was no longer enough to describe it.

Regarding Hongdou, Li Yu was now very certain of one thing:

"Wanfu City is known as a place of outstanding people and spirits, all of them are cheaters."

"Clearly, my maid will definitely be one of them."

"Will she gradually grow into a mechanical goddess?"

"If she really does, wouldn't I be able to hug a super big thigh."

The first two sentences were just conclusions, while the last two were fantasies.

Li Yu was daydreaming while asking Hongdou for relevant details, checking her body, and also asking about the changes he had seen along the way.

Hongdou confirmed his guess:

"Replying to Master!"

"Since you left, the night the Demon Star Descent ended."

"In Wanfu City and the three forbidden areas, various major events began to break out one after another."

"The Fallen Buddhism celebrated the 【Buddha's Birthday】, leading to taboo behavior between the two evil gods 'Mother of Filth' and 'Black Maitreya,' giving birth to a divine sin and escaping into the wild people's caves..."

"The City Lord's Mansion inexplicably agreed to the Sacred Nest's Star Link Project..."

"The remaining spies of the Three Kingdoms and Six Sects and the secret stations hidden in the three forbidden areas were all discovered and strangled clean by all parties in Wanfu City..."
