Green Lady was dazed while watching nearby.
Hot tears flooded out of her bloodshot eyes the next moment. She unleashed a daunting pressure, such that Su Ping felt as if his body were going to be squished.
“Senior! Senior!
Su Ping invoked his own strength to resist the pressure, before he hurriedly said, “Don’t be rash! They will attack you if you show up! You’re an unparalleled divine pill. They will swallow you if they defeat you, all to strengthen themselves. You must not let them!
“The Twilight Deity King would never wish for you to die for nothing if he were alive!”
Her green hair was fluttering as if she would have gone mad. Green tears were flowing out of her eyes; those tears were the pill power from inside her body and were highly powerful.
“Senior, if they were to eat you, they would be able to ruin the Deity King’s body even more. Try to hold back!” Su Ping did his best to seize her hand and talk sense into her.
Green Lady shivered and finally calmed down. The madness of destruction in her eyes gradually left, while she gritted her teeth and contained herself.
Su Ping was slightly relieved after seeing that she regained her rationality. He said, “Senior, revenge is a dish best served cold. We’ll settle the score with them when we’re capable; please don’t be rash right now. You’re the greatest treasure that the Twilight Deity King has left!”
She changed her expression when she heard “the greatest treasure” and looked at Su Ping.
The sorrow and pain in her eyes were enough to pierce through a heart of stone.
Even someone like Su Ping felt the urge to protect her.
“But I… can’t do anything for him.” The Green Lady gritted her teeth. Her tears kept running down, but she gradually concealed all her aura.
She looked at the battlefield and saw the three experts fiercely mauling each other inside the giant warrior’s chest. Two of them seemed to be attacking the red-haired young man together.
Their battle gradually damaged the corpse’s chest until it fully fell apart.
Even though he had been a Celestial State expert, he had exhausted all his power in the last battle before his death. His body was no longer able to resist the attacks of three Ascendants.
Su Ping also watched the scene with mixed feelings.
He remembered what the ghosts had said in the peach orchard.
The Twilight Deity King had created a future for humankind, yet his body was being destroyed by one of the future generations of human beings. How ironic was that?
The Deity King’s armor was heavily damaged in the battle ages before, but his body remained intact.
And yet, it had been destroyed right then!
“Senior, let’s not watch any longer. We should get out of here.”
Su Ping watched the battle and noticed how it was becoming fiercer. His eyes couldn’t keep up with their movements any longer; their divine techniques also carried a radiating power that stung his eyes. He wanted to take Green Lady away, in case she lost control of herself again.
Green Lady clenched her fists; the grief in her eyes had been replaced by an overwhelming hatred that was etched deep into her soul.
Boom!
At that moment, one of the Ascendant State experts took out a long mist-like spear he had just subdued moments earlier!
He held the long spear and stabbed through the wings of an Ascendant State phoenix. The aftermath of the attack left a wound several hundred meters long on the Twilight Deity King’s chest.
The weapon that the Deity King had once collected was being used to destroy his own body.
Green Lady shivered as she witnessed this. Suddenly, she put on a crazy smile and mumbled as if possessed, “They’ll die. They will surely die. The Deity King blocked the Heavenly Pit with his body to protect humankind. The Heavenly Pit will be opened if they destroy his body…”
The more she talked, the scarier she looked. She didn’t look like a lady at all; she was more like a devil.
Fury often led to madness.
Su Ping was stunned by what she said, then narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t help but ask, “What will happen if the Heavenly Pit is opened?”
Su Ping didn’t dare to imagine what was behind the ancient Deity King’s body.
He looked at the dark area behind the body. Just as he thought, there seemed to be a great, radiating black hole with the Twilight Deity King’s body as the center.
However, there were only a few inconspicuous shadows circumventing his body.
“Die… All of them will die!”
Green Lady laughed creepily while tears kept falling from her eyes. She knew how devastating the battle ages before had been, how many experts had fought, and how determined they were. Still, their efforts turned out to be useless. She hated those three human beings and regretted that the Deity King’s sacrifice had been done in vain.
Su Ping had goosebumps all over his body. What could have been blocked by a Celestial warrior? If it came out, who could once again stop it? Would another Celestial arrive?
However, there were very few of them in the entire federation!
Those three guys are making a big mess! Su Ping was rather angry too. They were in the Ascendant State, yet they were bringing a disaster!
“Senior, we should go now!” Su Ping said quickly.
His store would be the safest hideout if matters were truly dangerous.
Green Lady turned around and stared at him, as if she were judging him and all of humankind.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw her eyes. He had a bad feeling, but he didn’t flinch as he looked back at her with utmost sincerity.
The stare lasted for a long time; she eventually withdrew her gaze and said, “Whether or not you’re the Deity King’s descendant, you have a promising future with the secrets you carry. I can take you away and help you become a king. But before that, we have to sign a contract. Once you become a king, you must search for the lost Chaotic Realm of the Undead and find the Deity King’s soul!”
Su Ping was stunned and then quickly said, “I promise you I will!”
He felt puzzled by her proposal. “Is the Chaotic Realm of the Undead lost?”
He had access to the place via the system… Did the system have other channels?
“The Chaotic Realm of the Undead disappeared in a battle during the primordial times,” said the Green Lady with a gloomily expression, “Otherwise, I would have gone there to search for my senior’s soul a long time ago. I would have helped him reforge his body and reclaim his throne!”
“I promise you that I’ll help you find my ancestor’s soul,” said Su Ping solemnly.
He didn’t confess that he had a way to go to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead, though.
After all, Green Lady believed it was already lost. She would only think he was lying if he claimed he was able to go there, especially when he was that weak.
“Talk is cheap. We’ll sign a contract, but this isn’t the right place. Let’s go,” said Green Lady with a cold tone.
Su Ping gave her a bitter smile. Green Lady had obviously changed her attitude because of the actions of those three experts. She became unfriendly, if not hostile, towards human beings.
Boom!
Exactly at that moment, a huge noise was heard.
Su Ping shivered; even his soul had been shocked by the noise. He turned his head around, only to narrow his eyes.
He saw that the Twilight Deity King’s chest had completely burst open, and the three Ascendants were fighting in the void.
They evidently didn’t want to cause more damages to that Celestial State body, either.
“Huh?”
Su Ping’s expression had a sudden change. He saw a black vortex revealing itself deep inside the Twilight Deity King’s torn chest. On the other side of the vortex was a vague and distant place, but it could be seen that the place was a barren and desolate world, which was brimming with a weird aura of death.
Is that the Heavenly Pit?
