Zhou Sheng was lying on the balcony, holding Zhou Yuan, who had just turned one month old, in his arms.
After having a child, Zhou Sheng's focus is now entirely on the child.
A world without God is a world of man.
Zhou Sheng looked at the setting sun, stretched and planned to go back to the living room to eat and sleep.
But as soon as he turned around, the tombkeeper came behind him.
"Back?"
"Well, everything is solved." The tombkeeper nodded.
After spending some time, he killed all the gods of various countries.
"Do you want to take a rest or go straight away?" Zhou Sheng asked again.
"Let's go directly," the tombkeeper said.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, Zhou Sheng received an order from Empress Houtu, asking him to go to the underworld.
Zhou Sheng knew that his trip might take a long time, so he wrote back and said to wait for the tombkeeper.
This wait is half a month.
"Um."
Zhou Sheng nodded, took out the sword from the room, put on the armor that Liulihe Liu Ruyan had sewn for himself, and put on a black cloak.
Liuli and Liu Ruyan seemed to be aware that Zhou Sheng was leaving, so they came in specially to see him off.
"When will you come back?" Liu Ruyan asked.
Zhou Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
"We are waiting for you to come back." Liuli said.
This time she didn't go with him. She wanted to stay at home and take care of the child with Liu Ruyan.
"Um."
After Zhou Sheng nodded, he went out with the tombkeeper and entered the underworld.
The underworld has now returned to peace, and half of the seventy-two underworlds have gone out to build hell and control reincarnation.
Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper walked to the Samsara Road together and walked to the Samsara King.
"To be honest, you look more pleasing to the eye, King of Samsara." Zhou Sheng teased.
It's really terrifying for him to look like a queen.
"Ha." The Samsara King snorted disdainfully.
Zhou Sheng did not continue to tease, but raised his head and said loudly: "Guardian of the mausoleum, please see Empress Houtu!"
After saying that, a golden edict fell.
There is one sentence written on the edict.
"Your sentence has expired, please knock out the person guarding the tomb first!"
Zhou Sheng looked at the words in the edict and was dumbfounded.
"Empress Houtu, I won't take you like this!"
As soon as Zhou Sheng finished speaking, Samsara King punched him with a sandbag-sized fist. Zhou Sheng was caught off guard and was knocked away.
When the tomb guard saw this, he didn't stop him because it was Empress Houtu's order. Although he didn't know what the order meant, it didn't matter to him because he just knocked the tomb guard out and didn't kill him.
Zhou Sheng wanted to resist, but the edict turned into a golden rope and directly trapped Zhou Sheng, making him unable to fight back.
Samsara King used all his strength to strike. After a few punches, Zhou Sheng was shaky and unsteady on his feet.
"Protruding!"
After Zhou Sheng said his last words, he was knocked unconscious by Samsara King's punch.
Deep in his consciousness, Zhou Sheng came to the wonderful space of consciousness again.
Zhou Sheng walked forward on the river of stars, and soon reached the foot of the tree, where he saw the black and white elders.
It's just that they didn't play chess this time, but stood with their hands behind their backs, as if waiting for them.
"You're here." The white-haired old man turned around and said with a smile.
"So it was your idea that Empress Houtu ordered the King of Samsara to knock you out?" Zhou Sheng finally figured it out. The purpose of knocking him out was to get him here.
"That's right, because this place is very special. You can't come here, you can only be aware of it." The black-haired old man said.
Zhou Sheng:……
Good guy, I got a beating for nothing just to come here.
What a loss.
"The second elder asked me to come over. What's the matter?" Zhou Sheng asked.
If nothing happens, they will never ask me to come.ωωw..net
"Yes, Gongsun Xuanyuan disappeared mysteriously. We suspect that he went to another world. We need you to find him." The white-haired Zhang Lao said.
"Find him, and then what?" Zhou Sheng continued to ask.
"Just find him, you don't have to worry about the rest," the black-haired old man said.
"What does another world mean?" Zhou Sheng asked curiously.
"A very wonderful world, a world bigger than the earth, an unknown world." The white-haired old man said with a smile.
What he said is as if he didn't say it.
"How should I get there?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"The two of us have opened a passage in the Kunlun Mountains. If you enter the passage, you can reach another world." The black-haired old man said.
After hearing this, Zhou Sheng nodded lightly.
"By the way, I've always been curious about your identities. Who are you?" Zhou Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"We, we are... ethereal people." The white-haired old man said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, Zhou Sheng disappeared instantly.
"Gathering the essence of heaven and earth, and inheriting the unique knowledge of the past saints, this boy can change the world." The white-haired old man said with a smile.
"Yes, I hope he can complete the task as soon as possible." The black-haired old man said with a slight smile.
When Zhou Sheng woke up again, he woke up in the underworld.
The King of Samsara was sharpening his knife beside him, and his roulette wheel turned into a scimitar again, while the tombkeeper stood by his side.
"Let's go to another world." Zhou Sheng said.
After hearing this, King Samsara raised his head and glanced at Zhou Sheng, but did not move. He could not leave until Empress Houtu issued an edict.
"Queen, after you go out, remember to follow the arrangements of the tomb guard." Empress Houtu's voice sounded, and the three people present could hear it.
The King of Samsara did not move or stand up. He lowered his head and muttered: "I want to guard the underworld and won't go anywhere."
"Queen, the peace of the underworld does not need you to protect it." Empress Houtu's voice said again.
Hou Qing still didn't go, he didn't want to.
Empress Hou Tu probably also saw what Hou Qing was thinking, and used her will to create a clone that appeared in front of Hou Qing. Only Hou Qing could see it.
When Hou Qing saw Empress Hou Tu appear, she immediately stopped moving her hands and looked at Empress Hou Tu in a panic.
"Go." Queen Houtu said with a smile.
"Mother, I..."
"I'll wait for you to come back." Empress Houtu said again, and her random avatar transformed into a jade pendant and fell into Houqing's hands.
"I will always be with you. When you are confused, just look at the jade pendant when you lose control." Empress Houtu said again.
"Yes." Hou Qing nodded in response, then stood up and walked to Zhou Sheng's side.
"Let's go." Hou Qing held the jade pendant tightly and walked in front of Zhou Sheng.
"By the way, what is your relationship with Empress Houtu?" Zhou Sheng has always been curious about the relationship between Houqing and Empress Houtu.
He used to think that Empress Houtu was Hou Qing's mother, but when he saw Hou Qing's expression and attitude, it seemed a bit different.
"In terms of your human relationship, Empress Houtu is my mother." Hou Qing said.
"Your mother?" Zhou Sheng was a little surprised.
"But in terms of our relationship, she is the person I want to protect throughout my life." Hou Qing said lightly.
