Under the vast starry sky, two figures were standing on the top of the mountain.
One of them is a woman. She is tall, her beautiful face is heroic, and her fierce temperament looks like a female general on the battlefield.
The other person is handsome but very androgynous, making it difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman.
In his hand, he was holding a heavy black sword, stroking it gently with his hand.
Xinghu's eyes also fell on the black sword and asked: "Do you like this weapon very much?"
The two had just joined forces to win the God's Choice War, collected all the fragments of the World Tree, and snatched the God-Shattering Blade from the hands of the gods.
This weapon is no less important than the World Tree, because it is the only artifact in the world that can destroy the World Tree.
"I don't like it. Just seeing it reminds me of the past."
The saint looked down at the God-Shattering Edge in his hand, his tone full of nostalgia for the past.
He remembered the city of heaven thousands of years ago. During the resurrection ceremony of the Great Lord, he was seriously injured by a mysterious man using the God-Shattering Edge, and the World Tree was also destroyed.
The resurrection of the Great Lord was prevented, and it fell into silence. The empire and the cult fell apart, and many years of great work were in ruins.
The seriously injured saint hid in the darkness, afraid to show up, while investigating the origin of the mysterious man.
Unfortunately, after a long investigation, we only found out that the mysterious man had a close relationship with the Shadow Goddess. Other than that, there were no other clues.
It was not until the end of the God's Choice War that the mysterious man still did not show up that the Saint began to select messengers to participate in the war on his behalf and snatch the fragments of the World Tree.
The messenger he chose was Xinghu. The blood of the Golden Supreme King flows in Xinghu's body. Not only is he extremely powerful in combat, he is also the best resurrection body to resurrect the great Lord.
Xinghu asked again: "What are you going to do with this weapon? Why don't you let me use it."
"No, this weapon cannot be kept."
The Saint shook his head. This God-Shattering Edge was too harmful to the World Tree and must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy.
After he obtained the God-Shattering Edge, he tried to destroy it. As a result, the God-Shattering Edge was too strong and he couldn't destroy it despite all his efforts. He could only put a curse on it. No matter who got the God-Shattering Edge, Everyone will be affected by the curse above and fall into madness, even gods are no exception.
Despite this, the Saint still felt very uneasy because the curse would one day be lifted.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the starry sky, then handed the Shattering God's Edge to Xinghu: "Use your ability to throw this weapon into the universe as far as you want."
Since it cannot be destroyed, the best way is to throw the weapon into the universe and never be found by the gods of the earth.
Xinghu smoothly took over the Blade of the Broken God: "Isn't this too wasteful?"
The saint said firmly: "Do as I say."
Xinghu looked down at the weapon in his hand and gently touched it with his fingers, a flash of memory flashing in his eyes.
That was her most carefree childhood. Even though thousands of years have passed, her memory of her childhood is still clear, and she remembers every minute and every second she spent with her father.
It's a pity that she doesn't know if she can see her father again in this life, because the distance between father and daughter is not distance, but time.
"This weapon is our weakness."
The Saint also thought that Xinghu was reluctant to part with the God-Shattering Edge, and advised him from the side: "When the Lord is resurrected, you can pray to the Lord to find it again, but you must not keep it now."
Xinghu nodded slowly. She also wanted to keep the God-Shattering Edge that belonged to her father as a souvenir, but for the plan in her heart, she could not make the saint suspicious now, so she could only do it.
Xinghu raised his head and looked up at the vast starry sky. From the corner of his sight, he suddenly noticed the moon obscured by dark clouds.
She grabbed the God-Shattering Edge and threw it towards the starry sky.
The black sword shot out like a meteor. When it was about to break through the atmosphere, a magic ring appeared in front of it, and the God-Shattering Edge sank into it and disappeared.
…
In the golden hall, the saint suddenly opened his eyes, and the memory between him and Xinghu was dissipating in his mind.
Since his resurrection, he can't help but recall three people in his mind.
The three people who had a huge impact on his life were also his three most hated enemies.
The first one is the Shadow Goddess. This woman has been haunting him for countless years, and finally killed him by dying together.
Fortunately, he is the shadow of the Great Lord. As long as the Great Lord does not die, he will never truly die.
The second in line is the mysterious man who destroyed the World Tree and prevented the resurrection of the Great Lord.
If it weren't for him, the Great Lord would be resurrected smoothly, and there would be no series of changes such as the God's Choice War, and the world would still be in the hands of the Lord.
The last one is Xinghu, the person whom the Saint hates the most.
Xinghu is his chosen envoy. He has the blood of the Golden Supreme King, has strong combat power and is the best resurrection body. The two parties cooperate closely to win the God's Choice War and collect all the fragments of the World Tree.
What the Saint did not expect was that Star Lake was actually the eldest descendant of the Golden Supreme King and the daughter of the Lady of the Lake.
Not only does the blood of the Golden High King flow in her body, but also the blood of the old gods flows in her body, which allows her to get rid of the control of the saint and ruin his thousand-year plan.
The feeling of betrayal is the most heart-wrenching!
If Xinghu had not chosen to sleep on her own, the Saint would not have let her go.
Fortunately, the Saint is not someone who gives up easily. The new God's Chosen War is about to end, and this time, the resurrected body of the Great Lord is the Golden Supreme King who will never betray.
The God-Shattering Edge has been thrown into the universe, and the whereabouts of the three people that the Saint is most afraid of are now unknown. Now, there are only a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps left in the world.
His side had an absolute advantage, and he didn't even know how to lose.
However, the saint who has failed many times is not careless. Even if the probability of victory has reached 99.9%, he will kill all dangerous sprouts in the cradle.
For example, the heir to the Godslayer who defeated the Golden High King twice in a row.
But the other party has gone into hiding and has not shown up for a whole year.
Just when the saint was thinking about how to find Xu Cheng's trace, a light flashed in the hall, and the Golden Supreme King appeared in sight.
The saint stood up and said, "Have you found it?"
During this year, he and the Golden Supreme King once again started the Chosen War.
They did not choose any more messengers and spokesmen, and went directly to the scene in person, searching for fragments of the World Tree all over the world.
And this time the God's Chosen War cannot even be called a war, because the gods have withered and there are not many decent enemies at all.
The only ones who could resist, namely Elizabeth's group of gods, had been running around.
In one year, the Saint and the Golden Supreme King have collected almost all the fragments of the World Tree scattered everywhere.
The Golden Supreme King stretched out his hand, and a leaf-shaped fragment fell from his palm, which was picked up by the saint.
"And the last three fragments are in the hands of the Goddess of Winter."
The Golden Supreme King said: "The chess pieces buried before have been activated, and the remaining three pieces can be taken back at any time."
The sage reminded: "Don't be careless."
He has failed too many times and is almost getting PTSD. The closer he gets to success, the more he worries about gains and losses.
The Golden Supreme King nodded. He was not the kind of careless person.
However, during this year, his strength has been recovering rapidly and he is close to his prime.
Next time I meet Xu Cheng, I will definitely give him a huge surprise.
…
Secret realm of shadows.
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue had a clear understanding of each other and guessed a possibility at the same time.
"The Blade of the Broken God...maybe on the moon?"
Xinghu won the God's Choice War and collected the fragments of the World Tree. The Blade of the Broken God may also fall into the hands of her, the winner.
And she left her last words to future generations: "The future is on the moon." Perhaps she was pointing the way to future generations. There are things on the moon that involve the future.
Qiu Gongyue went there last time and found nothing, but she didn't meet the Moon God. Maybe the Moon God knew something inside.
However, judging from the situation of the believers in the moon, the mental state of the moon god seems to be somewhat unhealthy.
No matter what, Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue both felt the need to take a look at the moon.
"Um……"
The saint lying on the ground let out a soft hum and slowly woke up.
Her eyes were still a little dazed, but they were clear and she had recovered from her delirious state.
Finding a man and woman standing in front of her, the Saint almost instinctively jumped up from the ground and assumed a defensive posture.
However, when she saw Qiu Gongyue's appearance clearly, she was immediately stunned.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Xu Cheng returned to the future, and Qiu Gongyue's curse was lifted, but she still habitually wore a veil.
Only the closest believers have seen her true appearance, and the Saint is one of them.
After she recognized Qiu Gongyue, her eyes turned red, and she almost staggered over and knelt down in front of Qiu Gongyue, saying in a choked voice: "You are finally back!"
Qiu Gongyue stroked the saint's hair with her hands and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work."
After she was broken up from the Trinity, the Saint quietly hid her God's Heart and guarded it loyally for hundreds of years. She never gave up her responsibility even when she was seriously injured and lost her mind.
After hearing the goddess's words, the saint felt that these hundreds of years of hard work had not been in vain, and finally couldn't help it, hugging her legs and crying loudly.
Time was running out, so after Qiu Gongyue comforted the saint, she asked her to stay in the secret realm to recuperate, and left with Xu Cheng.
The two of them have been in the secret realm for a whole year. The Saint and the Golden Supreme King are watching closely outside. Who knows what kind of battle they have already caused.
Xu Cheng only hoped that Elizabeth and Amaterasu could hold on and not be defeated.
The two moved very fast, leaving the secret realm and arriving at Guangming Mountain in a blink of an eye.
A year ago, Qiu Gongyue followed the Saint into the secret realm. The entrance was closed, and Evelin and others had to wait at Guangming Mountain.
However, Xu Cheng had already told them that if they didn't wait, they could go to Elizabeth's winter palace and wait.
When Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue came out, they found that the ruins of the Guangming Mountain Senate had been cleared and reconstruction work was underway.
And Evelin and others also disappeared.
Xu Cheng released the electromagnetic induction, covering the entire Guangming Mountain, and found a familiar figure among the dense bioelectricity.
Qiu Gongyue has regained all her power, and her speed of finding people is no slower than Xu Cheng.
She reached out and grabbed Xu Cheng's arm, pulling him into the shadows.
In a certain study room, Rika Ito was sleeping on the sofa, with a book covering her face.
Xu Cheng and Akimiya Yue walked out of the shadows and saw Ito Rika's two raised feet.
Akimiya Yue walked over and took the book off Ito Rika's face, and found that there was an eyepatch underneath.
Akimiya Yue wanted to wake her up again, but Xu Cheng had already stretched out his hand, and electric current was applied to Ito Rika's snow-white feet.
"Ouch!"
With a howling sound, Rika Ito jumped up from the sofa with her arms and legs in her sleep, her head almost hitting the ceiling.
"Which bastard dares to sneak up on me?"
Rika Ito maintained her independent posture and took off the blindfold on her face.
When she saw Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue clearly standing in front of her, the annoyance on her face immediately turned into surprise.
"Ayue!"
She cheered, jumped off the sofa, and gave Qiu Gongyue a bear hug: "You heartless person is finally willing to come back!"
Akimiya Yue's body stiffened slightly, but she soon relaxed, raised her hand, and gently hugged Ito Rika.
As a shadow goddess, she has no friends at all, let alone making friends with ordinary humans like Ito Rika.
But as Akimiya Yue, she couldn't lose Rika Ito, her best friend who was better than a biological sister.
Between the two life experiences, the divine side should have completely overwhelmed the human side. After all, as a god, she lived for who knows how long, but as a human, she only lived for more than twenty years, which was just a blink of an eye.
But in the end, Qiu Gongyue still chose to retain both the divine and human sides.
Ito Rika let go of Akimiya Yue, and then complained to Xu Cheng: "How did you take care of her and take so long to come back?"
"Do you want to know?"
Xu Cheng smiled, crossed his fingers, and made a tiny electric sound: "Why don't I release it for you myself?"
Ito Rika knew that this man was not easy to mess with, so she hid directly behind Qiu Miyazuki, relying on the strength of others: "Azuki, take care of your man quickly."
"alright!"
Qiu Gongyue brought her best friend to her: "Why are you the only one, where are the others?"
"Everyone else has left, but I am the only one who is worried. I stay here waiting for you."
A group of them were in Guangming Mountain until Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue came out of the secret realm. According to Xu Cheng's instructions, Evelin prepared to take them to Elizabeth's winter palace.
But Ito Rika couldn't worry about Akimiya Yue, so she stayed alone and continued to wait, while Evelin left with Nagumo Narumi and Dinah.
After finishing speaking, Ito Rika couldn't help but ask: "What happened to you in the secret realm, and why did you stay for a whole year before coming out."
She looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Is it possible that you are hiding to have children?"
Xu Cheng & Qiu Gongyue: "..."
Although I didn't guess right, I didn't guess wrong either.
The two of them did have a child.
Afraid that Rika Ito would continue to make random guesses, Akimiya picked her up again and said to Xu Cheng, "Let's go."
"Don't be like this, I can leave by myself!"
Ito Rika struggled in Akimiya Yue's hand. She felt that Akimiya Yue seemed to have changed and treated her like a child.
Xu Cheng, who has become a god, no longer needs to use electromagnetic fields to lead people as he did in the past. He directly transformed Akimiya Yue and Ito Rika into lightning, and the three of them turned into lightning and disappeared in Guangming Mountain.
Today's earth is too small for Xu Cheng, but in just a short while, he took Akimiya Yue and Ito Rika to Eastern Europe and arrived at Elizabeth's territory.
However, as far as the eye can see, the Winter Palace built of ice and snow has disappeared, leaving only a huge black crater like a meteorite impact.
The expressions of Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue both changed.
What the two of them were most worried about was that during the year they left, Elizabeth and other gods were completely defeated by the Golden Supreme King and the Saint.
Now it seems that the Winter Palace has suffered some kind of devastating blow.
Fortunately, Kherson, the city where the Winter Palace is located, was not destroyed, and there are still a large number of residents living in it.
Xu Cheng let go of his electromagnetic induction and quickly found the familiar bioelectricity.
In a certain building, Sarah was immersed in a pile of documents, dealing with the work of rebuilding the East Palace.
Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and it was obvious that she had not had a good rest for a long time.
Suddenly, she felt that all the hairs on her body stood up, and even her long hair stood up, as if she had been electrostatically charged.
The next second, there was a flash of lightning in the office. After the light disappeared, three figures appeared.
Sarah originally thought it was an enemy attack, until she saw Xu Cheng's face clearly, she immediately stood up from the office chair excitedly: "You are finally back!!"
Xu Cheng raised his hand and pointed at Sarah, and while using his life power, he asked: "What happened?"
Sarah was the mayor of Kherson and Elizabeth's top subordinate. Since she was still alive, she must have known about the destruction of the Winter Palace.
Charlene only felt a warm current pouring into her body from beginning to end, and it was so comfortable that she wanted to moan.
The fatigue and bruises from staying up late for many days have completely disappeared, and the dark circles and bloodshot eyes have disappeared.
She didn't dare to delay and quickly told Xu Cheng what happened to the Winter Palace.
Since the last siege of the Golden High King failed, Elizabeth has joined forces with other gods and began to search for fragments of the World Tree to prevent the Golden High King and the Saint from resurrecting the Great Lord.
Of course this is on the surface, secretly, Elizabeth has been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the Valkyrie.
Just a week ago, the Winter Palace was suddenly attacked by the Golden Supreme King. The gods had to disperse and flee, and the stronghold of the Winter Palace was abandoned.
Unable to participate in this level of battle, Sarah could only carry out the work of rebuilding the Winter Palace while sending people around to find Elizabeth's whereabouts.
After hearing this, Xu Cheng immediately asked: "Did Nayun Minghai bring anyone to the Winter Palace?"
Nagumo Narumi followed him to the Winter Palace as a guest several times, and Sarah knew her.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Sarah nodded quickly: "Miss Nayun came to live in the Winter Palace half a year ago, along with a pair of sisters and a husky. However, after the Winter Palace was destroyed, their whereabouts are unknown. They may have left with the goddess."
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue looked at each other, feeling a little troubled.
It was still too late to come back. If they could come back half a year earlier, with their current strength, it would be more than enough to defeat the Saint and the Golden Supreme King together.
But after a whole year of delay, the Saint and the Golden Supreme King may have returned to their heyday power, and it will be difficult to defeat them again.
However, Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue are no longer what they used to be, and they don't feel nervous. As long as the Great Lord is not resurrected, they still have a chance.
The two made up their minds at the same time and split up to search for the whereabouts of Elizabeth and Amaterasu.
They waste their strength when they gather together. Even if they run into the Saint and the Golden Supreme King at the same time when acting alone, they can still leave calmly.
Rika Ito was arranged by Xu Cheng to hide in the secret place of Takamagahara in Japan. Then he and Akimiya Yue started moving east and west along the equator of the earth, searching for traces of Elizabeth and Amaterasu.
…
"Huchi...huchi..."
On an unnamed island in the Pacific Ocean, the goddess of beauty Efdi panted violently, blowing the veil on her face to sway.
She is using her power to wrap up the entire island to avoid enemy pursuit.
Following her were her husband Cronus, and the fairy tale princess Loris.
Since the Winter Palace was destroyed, the three of them were forced to separate from Elizabeth. Because they were targeted by the Golden High King, they did not dare to stop and had to flee all the way until now.
Seeing his wife's tired look, Cronus was heartbroken and had to curse angrily: "Damn it, that old guy Gold is chasing us. When he catches up again, let's just stop running away. Fight to the death with him."
Seeing Cronus making such bold words, Ephdi and Loris looked at each other subconsciously.
After the last siege of the Golden High King failed, they all suspected that Cronus had surrendered and became a mole.
However, in the past year, Cronus has not done any strange behavior, and everyone's suspicion of him has disappeared.
This time, he was suddenly attacked by the Golden Supreme King, and suspicion of Cronus suddenly came to the forefront, but no one had any evidence.
"Hmph, you put it nicely."
Everdi had already revealed that Cronus was a parallel importer, so Loris did not tolerate him: "You are the famous God of War. Wouldn't you bury your reputation by running away with us? When the Golden High King catches up, Just teach him a lesson and let him see how powerful the God of War is!"
Cronus was stung by Loris' strange aura, and he glared at Loris fiercely: "Just wait and see."
Everdi suddenly said: "My power cannot be concealed for long. If this continues, I will be overtaken by gold sooner or later. Let's go separately."
Loris glanced at Cronus vaguely, and then agreed: "I agree!"
She suspected that Cronus had been exposing the traces of the three of them. Only by splitting up could they get rid of the Golden High King.
Cronus was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking. He had neither objection nor approval.
Everdi walked up and grabbed Lolis's hand: "I'm going with Cronus, you have to be careful."
Loris felt something being stuffed into her palm, and she was suddenly shocked.
Elizabeth collected three pieces of the World Tree. After being attacked by the Golden Supreme King, they escaped with the pieces of the World Tree respectively to avoid them all falling into the hands of the enemy.
Efdi brought a fragment of the World Tree. Now she quietly handed the fragment to Loris and said that she would stay. Obviously she wanted Loris to escape with the fragment, and she stayed to watch Cronus. The mole who might betray them.
