Advent of Beauty (15)
The God of Death, Dais, is a reclusive god like the God of Sloth. Although the recent war has greatly increased his strength, Dais has no intention of getting involved in the human world.
Instead, Des voluntarily retreated to the underworld.
The three realms of God, man and the underworld do not invade each other. The underworld is always cold and the news is blocked because it is full of ghosts. Only Dai Si can stay here. He does not stay here for the sake of purity and turf, but as the eternal flower on the central island of the Styx.
It's open.
Gods are all mortal, and the power of belief or representation is still there, so there is talk of rebirth and successors, but the godhead is still there, and it is not certain who is on top. The eternal flower can solve this problem. To be precise,
It's a conversion issue.
As the name suggests, the eternal flower is a flower that never dies. Use its power to repair the divine body. As long as the divine head is still there, the god can survive even without faith, but his strength is no longer there.
Those gods are not interested in this, but Dais is different. He is in charge of death, but he is also the most afraid of death. No one is more suitable than him to cultivate and pick immortal flowers in the underworld.
Nowadays, people's divine power has increased, their bodies have improved, and their life spans have also increased. The sharp increase in deaths today is just the result of the war. But what happens after the war? No matter who loses, the believers of the other god can prolong their lives, and they will definitely meet the challenge when the time comes.
When the death toll reaches a freezing point, the eternal flower comes in handy.
Hope, the god of desire, looked down on the eternal flower, but Dess made a deal with him, because the dirty and dark soul is the best fertilizer for the eternal flower.
Today was the agreed trading time, but Dais found that Hope didn't come.
He didn't know the situation in the outside world, so he could only rely on He Pu's remaining aura to search for it, but in the end he captured Tao Yao.
"Who are you, where's Hope?"
Dai Si's voice was cold and hoarse, as if he hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time.
Tao Yao shivered and hugged herself tightly, watching Dai Si's feet trembling. It was so cold here that not even the gods were willing to set foot there, let alone her seriously damaged body.
Seeing that Taoyao was too cold to speak, Dai Si put a shield on her first.
"Say it."
"I have no idea."
The gift was rewarded with such an indifferent answer. Dais raised his eyebrows: "I feel his breath on you."
"That was because he tried to trick me into signing a contract before, but I didn't agree."
Dess had heard about Hope's bad behavior, but he didn't care about the other two fights, and he had no intention of persuading him. On the contrary, the more Hope deceived him, the more he benefited, and he secretly supported Hope's behavior.
.
Therefore, Dai Si did not doubt what Taoyao said.
"You mean, you don't know where Hope is?"
"..." Taoyao was stunned for a moment.
"I don't know." If nothing else, these gods must be more arrogant than the last. Even if he killed Dais, he would never have thought that Hope would be imprisoned in the Blue Water Mirror by a "mortal".
"You better not lie to me."
"How can I, an ordinary person, imprison a god? If there is nothing else, can you let me out first?" Mei Ke couldn't find her, what if it affected their plan.
Now in the underworld, Taoyao has no way to send news to the outside world.
"It's not easy to leave once you've entered my territory." Dai Si's somewhat mocking tone made Tao Yao feel nervous.
I'm afraid this attitude made them unhappy. These gods are more or less arrogant. Lingyuan would have been resented if she didn't kneel to Hope before, and her current attitude in answering Dais is not considered respectful.
But who can be blamed? Her divinity is dissipating, and she cannot withstand the pressure of these gods. She will surrender without rejecting them.
Ling Yuan wouldn't kneel to other gods for her sake, so why couldn't she, a majestic and beautiful god, not do it.
"It seems you don't really want to go out." After Dai Si finished speaking, he left the palace without looking back and took back his divine power.
If you don't kneel down, then just wait to die.
The cold air swept over her again, and Taoyao felt like she was freezing into an ice sculpture, but there were no water droplets on her body. This kind of coldness was mental, and she felt as if she was in a snow-capped mountain when she closed her eyes.
She watched Dai Si go out and could only stand still, trying to relieve the stiffness in her limbs.
Although the blood circulation rate remains unchanged, it would be better to be mentally refreshed.
There is no time to calculate in the underworld, and Taoyao doesn't know how long she can hold on. She can't let her mind be numb, so she tries her best to recall her past experiences.
The coldest winter, when the mountains are covered with heavy snow, is not as chilling as it is now. If the cold at that time was so aggressive, the injured little fox might not be able to survive it...
Tao Yao imagined wildly. The furniture here was too cold and she couldn't touch it. She squatted when she couldn't stand, and walked away when she felt numb. In the end, she really had no strength and could only huddle in the corner.
In a daze, a black figure walked in.
"I didn't expect that one day would pass and you would still be alive."
"Cough cough cough..." Taoyao wanted to cough up blood, but the cold air froze her throat, and she could only cover her throat to hold it in.
"The last person he came into contact with was you."
Taoyao didn't answer. Instead of saying too much and making mistakes, it was better to remain silent. Anyway, she didn't seem to be able to speak now.
Dai Si saw Tao Yao's miserable appearance and was not disturbed at all. It's just that the eternal flower is in its growth stage, and He Pu's soul is most useful at this time, so he must find a way to get it.
"Let me make a bet with you. If you win, I will let you go. If you lose, tell me the news about Hope. If you regret it... I also found some with Hope yesterday. There are people who have contact - and you too."
A naked threat.
"The bet is very simple. If you can appease the three-headed hell dog on the central island of the River Styx, I will let you go."
The three-headed hell dog is responsible for guarding the eternal flower. If he takes the eternal flower, he will have to confront the beast. Of course, Dai Si is not afraid of it, but it is still good to use it to make things difficult for Taoyao.
"How about it? Do you agree? No time limit." She wouldn't be alive when she got there anyway.
"I'll think about it." Taoyao said three words with difficulty.
Dais looked at her contemptuously and walked out of the palace: "I only give you one hour."
After all, it would be pointless if she died if it dragged on any longer.
Dai Si left a communication stone, but Tao Yao didn't touch it and contacted the system first.
[Master!] The system’s screams directly broke through the sky.
【Shut up】
Taoyao knew that her current condition was very bad. Her brain waves were slow to send messages, and her thoughts seemed to have frozen.
[Let me ask you, is there any way to appease the three-headed hell dog? 】
[The three-headed dog of hell? Isn’t that the one guarding the eternal flower? Are you in the underworld? 】
[If you don’t want me to be dragged to death, please hurry up and say it]
It seems that the owner is still unwilling to transmit... The system can only quickly search for the message, and the CPU is almost dry, but it can't find any solution.
It would be fine as long as you don't pick flowers and don't provoke it, but Taoyao's current physical condition can only rely on eternal flowers to sustain her life.
Wait...the three-headed hellhound is also a living thing...
As long as a living thing has aesthetics...
[Mask, take off the mask, Master, take off the mask! 】
【Can’t I take the initiative to reveal my appearance?】
[Oh, there are so many restrictions when it comes to life and death... It really doesn't work... It really doesn't work, forget it, I feel that the owner of the island in the center of the Styx is dying without committing suicide]
【What's the meaning?】
[In the near-death state, all the divine power is loaded, and the mask will naturally fall off. When the time comes, the three-headed hell dog will feel sorry for you and find a good place to bury you]
【Are you angry?】
Taoyao laughed a little.
[Master, you can still laugh, do you know that I am going to cry to death! Can you not let me see you die next time, I am angry that I don’t have the authority to protect you... Wuwuwuwu...]
[Okay, okay, I promise you won’t be so willful next time, hang up]
Tao Yao was afraid that she would not be able to hold on if she continued talking, so she took the lead in cutting off contact.
Then, she touched the communication stone.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Um."
"Then let's go."
After Dai Si finished speaking, he originally wanted to use his divine power to throw Tao Yao onto the boat, but in the end he chose to help her shield her from the outside world and temporarily save her life.
"Don't say that I took advantage of others' danger and died on the central island of the River Styx."
Taoyao also knew that Dai Si was not so kind to save her. She sat at the stern of the boat, slowed down her breathing and enjoyed the rare warm moment.
Her body temperature rose and her throat became more and more itchy. Tao Yao suppressed waves of blood and felt as if her internal organs were blocked in her throat.
But don't throw up on the boat. Dais is mysophobic and will definitely get angry.
