The remaining blood crystals are most likely in the hands of the Shepherd King. If Su Ze wants to complete the "evolutionary grace", he has no choice but to go to the Shepherd King.
However, he did not act in a hurry and continued to read the last few pages of Zhao Yuanyi's diary.
It was written later that Zhao Yuanyi also suspected that he had fallen in love with King Mu, and speculated that the blood crystals precipitated in Zhao Lingxiao's body should have fallen into the hands of King Mu.
And he traced the cause of death of the warden of Panshi Prison, and there were also clues pointing to King Mu.
Zhao Yuanyi sensed that something was wrong with King Mu, and secretly searched for information. As a result, he discovered many anomalies. Various details showed that the young King Mu and the current King Mu seemed to be different people.
He went to his teacher Qu Jianbai and told Qu Jianbai some of his findings and guesses.
Qu Jianbai was dubious about this, but said that he would tell Zhao Yuanyi's discovery to the Holy Envoy of the Mu Kingdom. After all, he and the Mu King had never dealt with each other and would not miss an opportunity to throw dirty water on the Mu King.
But after Qu Jianbai came back from meeting with the Holy Envoy of the Mu Kingdom, he avoided talking about the matter. He only told Zhao Yuanyi that there was no problem with the Mu King, and he became much colder towards Zhao Yuanyi.
Zhao Yuanyi instinctively felt something was wrong, and he had a strong sense of crisis, so he left this notebook as a backup.
At that time, he had already anticipated his outcome.
It can be said that this notebook was specially left by him to Su Ze. Because he knew the characteristics of blood crystals, he expected that Su Ze would return to Mu Country sooner or later.
At the end of the note, there is a passage written by Zhao Yuanyi to Su Ze:
"I know you may hate me, just like I hate you, but no matter what, after my death, you will be the last bloodline left by the Zhao family. If you are not sure, just leave. Don't provoke the Shepherd King. He is better than the It’s even more dangerous than you imagined! Also, be careful of the Holy Envoy of the Mu Kingdom!”
Su Ze closed the notebook and put it into his storage ring. He took a sip of the coffee in front of him. It was a bit bitter. He added a piece of sugar cube and it was still bitter.
Zhao Yuanyi's guess coincided with that of Su Ze and Chen Suifeng. From this point of view, there was indeed a problem with the Holy Envoy of the Mu Kingdom and the Mu King, and they were both taken away by aliens.
Qu Jianbai is most likely being threatened or controlled, so there is no point in visiting him, and he might also be able to arouse the enemy.
In this case... then go directly to the Shepherd King!
Just as Chen Suifeng arrived, several overlords of the Mu Kingdom came to greet him. This was equivalent to Chen Suifeng helping him contain the Holy Envoy and all the overlords of the Mu Kingdom, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the Mu King.
It had only been two or three hours since they entered Qinggu City, and the shadow fruit would still take effect for a long time, giving them enough time to deal with King Mu.
"Let's go." Su Ze stood up and said to Brother Ya, "I'll take you to visit the Muguo Palace."
…
The Muguo Palace has a history of more than 400 years. It has been continuously repaired and expanded by successive kings, and it is still magnificent today.
Su Ze and Brother Ya took the Shadow Fruit, and coupled with Brother Ya's super stealth ability, they wandered around the palace as if they were following their own homes.
Of course they were not wandering around, but they were familiarizing themselves with the terrain.
Zhao Lingxiao had been to the palace several times before, but he was not very familiar with the inside of the palace. He had never been to the palace of King Mu even once.
When you walk into the palace courtyard, the first thing you see is a large grassy lawn and ancient trees of different shapes. There are some bodhi trees and other common trees in pastoral countries planted around the lawn. The pagoda-like spiers of the palace reach into the sky, and the fish-scale glass tiles shine brilliantly in the sunlight.
Su Ze and the others' destination was further ahead. After passing the second gate of the palace, a majestic and magnificent three-story building appeared in front of them. This was the Mu Wen Palace, where the Mu King usually held discussions with his ministers.
The Muyun Palace, the palace of the Muwang, is located to the east of the Muwen Palace.
King Mu has been living in seclusion for the past ten years, spending most of his time in Muyun Palace.
Su Ze and Brother Ya walked around Muyun Palace. It seemed that King Mu preferred peace and quiet. There were only two or three maids and guards in Muwen Palace.
Two guards were on duty at the entrance of Muyun Palace. They couldn't even get in without King Mu summoning them.
Su Ze's sensory tentacles penetrated Muyun Palace and saw Mu Wang alone sitting in front of the long table in the palace, with a newspaper in front of him and a cup of hot tea in his hand.
Su Ze and Brother Ya looked at each other. The two guards at the door were only in their cocoon stage, and the three or two maids in Muyun Palace had no fighting ability. If they took action against Mu Wang at this time, it would be an excellent opportunity.
The two of them only need to deal with the overlord, King Mu, and no one else is a threat to them.
But the question is, is the Shepherd King really an ordinary overlord?
Su Ze didn't hesitate. It was already here and he had no way out. He could only go forward!
…
The Shepherd King picked up the cup, blew gently on the hot tea, and took a sip. The aroma of tea filled his entire mouth.
He squinted his eyes with great satisfaction and put down the newspaper in his hand... This was today's Lin Hua Daily. The thick black headline on the front page was very eye-catching: Crisis! The borders of various countries are frequently attacked by alien beasts!
After two seconds, the Shepherd King, who had his eyes closed, suddenly said, "You're here."
The tone was like meeting an old friend who often comes to visit the house.
Su Ze, who had just entered the palace, immediately stopped and kept as far away from King Mu as possible.
King Mu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Su Ze. He was not surprised at all by his arrival and said: "I thought it would take at least a few years for you to come here, but I didn't expect... you have grown up better than I thought. quick."
Su Ze looked at the man sitting behind the long table. He had strong features, pointed eyebrows and starry eyes. A few wisps of gray on his temples added a bit of vicissitude to him.
"Tell me what you want." Su Ze went straight to the point without talking nonsense to him.
King Mu smiled and said, "You came here uninvited and asked me what I wanted? Tell me your purpose."
"Didn't I come here planned by you?" Su Ze sneered, "Stop playing riddles. The remaining blood crystals are in your hands, right?"
"What do you mean?" A brilliant crystal appeared in King Mu's hand, and the light seemed to eclipse the sun.
Is this... the remaining blood crystal?
Su Ze's heartbeat accelerated, and he was unconsciously attracted and shocked by this blood crystal!
This blood crystal is different from the ones he has seen before. The large number of blood crystals he has seen in the God's Dice before are all purple, and the purple crystals emit purple light.
But this blood crystal is golden!
That golden color makes people dazzled, yearn for it, and sink unconsciously. It makes people look forward to it more than the embrace of a young girl.
Su Ze subconsciously wanted to step forward, instinctively wanting to get closer to the blood crystal, but after taking just one step, he suddenly woke up and quickly stopped.
"Do you want it?" The corners of the Shepherd King's lips curled up with a hint of teasing.
Su Ze took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and suppressed his heart's desire for the golden blood crystal.
He felt like a mouse caught in a cat's trap.
The Shepherd King is now teasing him with a cat-and-mouse mentality, as if he is sure of victory.
After calming down, Su Ze joked: "It seems that you enjoy your current status. I feel the arrogance and arrogance of an emperor in you. Do you think you will win?"
King Mu's eyes moved slightly, the teasing look on his face disappeared, and he said, "What do you want to say?"
"Should I call you the Shepherd King, or something else? An alien? A body-snatcher who resurrects a corpse? Or... the former Nian clan god?"
The calmness on the face of the Shepherd King continued to collapse with the words coming out of Su Ze's mouth. When Su Ze revealed the identity of the Nian clan god, his expression finally completely changed and he was no longer as calm as before.
He said coldly: "It seems that you know more than I thought. Where did you get this information? Who else knows it besides you?"
"Why, are you in a hurry?" Su Ze smiled, "How about you use the blood crystal in your hand to exchange my information. You give me the blood crystal, and I will answer whatever you ask. How about that?"
King Mu ignored Su Ze's exchange of opinions. He thought carefully for a few seconds and said, "I'm not surprised that you know some clues. After all, you have entered the Dice of Gods and your consciousness has not been disturbed..."
Having said this, King Mu stopped, looked at Su Ze carefully, and said, "You also absorbed the blood crystals obtained from the God's Dice? It seems that the old tree helped you, which makes sense. …”
Su Ze interrupted: "Aren't you afraid that I will directly absorb the blood crystal and then be taken away by your 'fellow'? Wouldn't all your plans for me be in vain?"
"Your entry into the God's Dice is indeed something I didn't expect. According to my plan, it may take you the next five years to enter the God's Dice. However... the prey I marked will naturally not be taken away by others. .”
It seems that the Shepherd King really has a backup plan for me... Su Ze thought of the foreign object in the soul that was suspected to be insect eggs.
"Can I ask out of curiosity, what is the purpose of your Nian tribe going to such great lengths to invade Blue Star?"
This is something Su Ze has always been curious about. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to get the answer from King Mu.
However, King Mu had no intention of answering this question. His eyes suddenly turned cold and he said, "Knowing too much is not good for you. Curiosity is the most unnecessary thing for a dying person."
Su Ze ignored King Mu's words and asked: "Who have you kidnapped in Yandi Continent and Xueyuan Continent? Are the masters of Yandi Continent and Xueyuan Continent also under your control?"
The Shepherd King did not answer.
"Why is your bloodline crystal different from other bloodline crystals, not purple but gold? Where did you get this bloodline crystal?"
The Shepherd King still didn't answer.
"Since you don't want to say anything, there really is nothing to talk about." Su Ze shrugged, "Just give me the blood crystal and don't force me to do it."
"If you want, just come and get it yourself." King Mu held the golden blood crystal in his palm and said expressionlessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared beside him, reaching out to grab the blood crystal.
King Mu snorted coldly, and the blood crystal in his palm suddenly disappeared and appeared in his other hand, allowing Brother Ya to grab it.
The Shepherd King moved very quickly, seized this opportunity, raised his hand and punched Brother Ya.
However, Brother Ya's position was replaced by a shadow. He used the shadow clone skill to switch positions and appeared on the other side of King Mu.
The light in King Mu's hand condensed into a big sword and struck towards Brother Ya.
Brother Ya took out a shovel and fought with it. With a clang sound, the shovel knocked out a gap in the sword of light.
Brother Ya was unyielding. He held a shovel in both hands and smashed wildly at King Mu. For a moment, King Mu was stunned and retreated.
Su Ze was slightly stunned. The strength shown by the Shepherd King seemed not as strong as he imagined.
Although he is not weak, he is not that strong either. He is probably about the same as Gu Chenguang and other established overlords.
At this time, if Su Ze stepped forward and joined forces with Brother Ya, it would not be difficult to kill King Mu. However, he held back and continued to watch Brother Ya and King Mu fight on the spot as planned.
Clang!
With a loud noise, Brother Ya broke the sword in King Mu's hand with a shovel, and then knocked King Mu to the ground with a shovel.
"die!"
Brother Ya shouted loudly and raised the shovel mercilessly towards the head of the Shepherd King.
But the shovel failed, and the Shepherd King appeared more than ten meters away.
"Teleportation?" Su Ze was surprised. If it was really teleportation, it was a skill involving "space".
Brother Ya raised his shovel and chased King Mu, but King Mu flew out of the palace without looking back.
The speed of King Mu was quite fast, and coupled with the short-distance teleportation from time to time, Brother Ya could not catch up for a while.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the exit of the palace. The guards outside the palace and the maids inside the palace had long been knocked unconscious by Su Ze and Ya Ge. Therefore, what happened in Muyun Palace was not spread, and no one came forward. Come to help King Mu.
Seeing the exit right in front of him, King Mu suddenly turned and flew towards the corridor on the left.
In the corridor, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped in front of the Shepherd King.
It was Su Ze, or another Su Ze.
"King Mu, you can't run away!" Su Ze said.
"Why should I run?" King Mu sneered, and suddenly a strange syllable came out of his mouth. It was some kind of alien language that Su Ze had never heard before.
"Ah!" Su Ze suddenly screamed, with a splitting headache, as if something was about to come out of his head.
At this time, the rice-like foreign object in his soul squirmed and slowly cracked, as if something was about to break out of the shell.
That's really an insect egg!
Sure enough, it’s you, Shepherd King!
Su Ze's eyes were fierce, and he finally confirmed that the insect eggs in his soul were planted by King Mu.
Taking advantage of the last trace of sanity, he mobilized the field of gravity to restrain the Shepherd King and send him to him.
Su Ze grabbed Mu Wang's neck and kept exerting force on his hands, as if he wanted to tear off Mu Wang's head from his body.
The Shepherd King showed no resistance and even had a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and handed the golden blood crystal to Su Ze.
"Don't you want it? Take it!"
Su Ze did not pick up the blood crystal. At this moment, he was in great pain. The insect egg in his soul was completely cracked. It seemed that a small insect was about to break out of the shell. And he gradually felt that his consciousness was blurred. It seemed that something was coming. Another consciousness revived in his soul.
This is the magic of soul parasitism.
To ensure the survival of the host and to live in symbiosis with the host is called parasitism.
Soul parasitism is different from body seizing. It does not replace the other person's soul with the soul, but uses one's own consciousness to occupy the other person's soul.
Once the soul is successfully parasitized, Su Ze's soul and body will remain unchanged, but his own consciousness will be completely annihilated and replaced by the consciousness of the Shepherd King, or the Nian clan god.
The other Su Ze and Brother Ya from the palace rushed over. King Mu glanced at Su Ze behind him from the corner of his eye and sneered in his heart.
He had long seen that this was just a stand-in. The parasitic soul egg he planted would naturally be able to sense it, but he did not sense the existence of the parasitic soul egg on the stand-in.
So he went straight to Su Ze's true self on the left side of the corridor. The induction from the parasitic soul egg told him that Su Ze's true self was hiding here.
"A clumsy trick!" King Mu mocked, "You never dare to make a move with your clone. Is it because you are afraid of being exposed? I'm afraid that if you make a move, I will see that it is just a clone."
Su Ze let out a painful cry, suddenly raised his other hand, and punched the Shepherd King's head.
Red and white mixed together and splashed everywhere, and the Shepherd King finally shut up and stopped making noise.
But Su Ze didn't feel quiet. King Mu seemed to have entered his mind and chattered endlessly.
There were some fragments of memories in his mind...
Some memory fragments that do not belong to him are the memories of the Nian clan god who took away the Shepherd King.
The consciousness of the Nian clan gods is awakening and reborn in Su Ze's soul.
Su Ze gradually began to lose control of his expression. With a sneer and ridicule on his face, he looked at the other Su Ze and Brother Ya who were unable to do anything not far away.
His consciousness gradually became faint, as if he was about to sink to the bottom of the sea and fall into eternal sleep...
The insect egg in his soul hatched completely. It was an invisible insect. The moment before his consciousness fell into coma, Su Ze seemed to see the face of a Nian tribesman in it.
Su Ze, who was about to be completely parasitized by his soul, had a winner's smile on his face. He looked down at Brother Ya and the other Su Ze who were not far away: "Are you going to kill me?"
He knew how powerful Su Ze was, and he also knew that Brother Ya and a clone alone would definitely not be Su Ze's opponent.
Moreover, as long as his soul parasitism is completed, he will be able to completely control Su Ze's power, including his clone. Then Brother Ya will be fighting alone, so he doesn't have to worry.
But just when the Nian clan gods thought that they were sure of victory, the Su Ze clone in his eyes suddenly said, "Are you sure I am the clone?"
The gods of the Nian clan were stunned.
"Actually, there is no difference between my true body and my clone. If you parasitize my body, then my body can be regarded as my true body."
Su Ze was not lying about this. His clones were created by the combination of "liquid life" and "unyielding will". Each clone was made up of part of the body and part of the soul. There was no difference between the original body and the clone.
The Nian clan gods instantly understood what Su Ze meant and said nonchalantly: "When I completely control this body, I can also seize your other clones through soul connection."
"It's a pity that you don't have this chance." Su Ze smiled slightly, pulled Brother Ya back a few steps, and softly uttered one word: "Explode!"
boom!
Amidst the shocking noise, the earth shook violently!
The entire Muyun Palace collapsed, leaving only a huge pit in the ground.
This is because Brother Ya used a protective shield to limit the scope of the explosion.
In such a powerful explosion, everything turned into dust and smoke, and only one head rose into the sky, protected by a force and preserved.
Su Ze detonated the self-destruction seeds in his body and launched self-destruction.
The self-destruction seeds come from the Flower of Despair and have the effect of preserving the head when self-destructing.
It was a strange feeling to see a naked head fall on the ground and see your own head fall in front of you.
This head has not completely lost consciousness and is still alive.
In order to ensure the implementation of the plan, Su Ze shattered the regeneration core in his head in advance, but even so, as an overlord, his vitality was strong enough that he could survive with only one head left.
And now, Su Ze wants to crush his own head with his own hands to ensure that the consciousness of the Nian clan gods is completely dead!
"Brother Ya, do it." Su Ze looked at his head and shook his head, as if he couldn't bear to do anything to his head.
"Okay!" Brother Ya picked up the shovel and was about to smash his boss's head.
At this time, the remaining head opened his mouth to speak: "Su Ze, do you know why our Nian clan is called the Nian clan?
"Nian means thoughts and consciousness. Our consciousness is indelible. Like weeds, it can regenerate in any soil."
"Brother Ya, smash this head and see if it can regenerate." Su Ze said immediately.
"Wait a minute!" The Nian clan god spoke again, "Leave me alive. You can ask me any questions you have, and I will answer you. Don't you really want to know our Nian clan's plan? I can tell you, as long as you You find another body for me, anyone’s body.”
Su Ze frowned slightly and seemed a little moved.
"Brother, don't believe his lies!" Brother Ya advised.
The Nian clan spirit said quickly: "If you are worried, you can find an animal body. I am in an animal body, so you don't have to worry about me threatening you. You can imprison me... I just ask Stay alive!"
Su Ze seemed to be convinced and walked to the head, ready to put it away.
But at this time, the Nian clan spirit controlled the head and opened its mouth, and an invisible object flew out, heading straight for Su Ze.
That is the parasite hatched from the parasitic soul egg, and it is also the current consciousness carrier of the Nian clan gods.
The invisible parasite instantly merged into Su Ze's body.
But Su Ze didn't panic. With a sneer on his face, he took out a potato-like thing, which was a potato.
This earth potato is a holy medicine for healing. It is said that after being persuaded, even the head can be repaired.
Su Ze crushed the sweet potatoes, and as if he felt no pain, he opened a wound on his body and stuffed the crushed sweet potatoes into the pulp.
If you look carefully, you will find that the gaping wound is white and full of fat, and not even a drop of blood can be seen.
"I didn't say that this body is my real body." Su Ze patted his wound and whispered to himself.
At this time, the torn wound on the body had been quickly repaired by the geocentric potato, and the remaining medicinal power of the geocentric potato was still repairing the missing part of the body - the head!
