"Have you never thought about who the devil is?"
Her eyes reflected Zhou Li's, and Su Yuli's beautiful face gradually became covered with a layer of mystery. The corners of her lips formed a subtle arc, and she asked Zhou Li softly: "Have you never thought about who Torea is?"
Torea?
At this time, Zhou Li was shocked to find that there was no sound around him and Su Yuli. A kind of mist spread around the two of them, separating them from everything. Zhou Li opened his mouth, but found that in this strange space, only Su Yuli's voice could exist.
“It was all serendipity that allowed us to open this space.”
Looking at Zhou Li, Su Yuli seemed to know what the other party was thinking, and said directly: "Don't be afraid, this space is a line, that is, one dimension in the spatial dimension. The one-dimensional world is different from Gaia. In other words, the flow rate of time is almost zero.”
"It's normal for you to be speechless."
Slowly raising her hand, a warm white pearl appeared in Su Yuli's slender, jade-like hand. She looked at Zhou Li and said softly: "The Demon Court is too far away from the gap, so the one-dimensional space I can open is very weak and cannot carry people from the two Gaia worlds to exchange messages with each other. Therefore, I can only unilaterally I give these memories to you."
Putting the pearl between Zhou Li's eyebrows, with a burst of light, some memories he had never seen before suddenly appeared in Zhou Li's mind.
Futaba···Black Emperor···Hades
Also, the Demon King.
Suddenly, Zhou Li's memory froze like a stuck tape machine. Except for these few characters, all the more detailed pictures disappeared from his mind. He looked a little confused, not knowing what happened.
"You haven't broken through the limitations of dimensions yet."
Su Yuli's expression was a little complicated, like expectation and worry, "Dimension... Zhou Li, always remember that for Gaia, for all of us, whether we are gods or mortals, we are all Just living under the dimension."
"Go, the human court and the fairy court, they are all waiting for you."
When Su Yuli's last words reached Zhou Li's ears, countless distorted spatial lines began to appear around Zhou Li, rapidly withdrawing at an incomprehensible speed and form. When this weird space disappeared, everything returned to calm.
The Riddler's Su Yuli didn't ask the question "Who is the Demon King?", she was just a rescued Demon Court Master. Everything that just happened seemed to be Zhou Li's fantasy. But the memory in his mind reminded Zhou Li that what he just heard was the truth.
Who is the devil?
Zhou Li now felt that his brain was in a state of mush. He could not understand why Su Yuli asked this question, nor did he know what his answer was. He clearly knew that the Demon King was Torea, the red-eyed girl who had been fighting against him for decades, but for some reason, he felt an indescribable weirdness.
Raising his head, he was about to say something to Su Yuli when Zhou Li noticed that Su Yuli, who was thanking everyone, had no longer those strange lines in her eyes. He opened his mouth, but didn't ask anything. He just stayed aside silently.
"That's not your style."
Atalona on the side noticed Zhou Li's silence. She turned her head and looked at Zhou Li who seemed to be thinking about something, and mocked: "I thought you would let her compensate you."
"What a comparison."
Zhou Li didn't bother to quarrel with Atalona and ended all the scoldings with a concise and clear word. Ignoring Atalona who was sneering at the side, Zhou Li stepped forward and said to Su Yuli, "Can you sense the positions of other court masters?"
After hearing Zhou Li's words, Su Yuli, who was having a happy conversation with Eluma, was stunned for a moment. After a brief silence, Su Yuli whispered: "Since the origin disappeared, we have not contacted each other for decades."
"Can you tell me what the origin is?"
Facing Zhou Li's inquiry, Su Yuli did not show any resistance. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said to Zhou Li: "It is difficult for me to explain the definition of origin to you clearly in a few words, and the most important thing is that I actually don't know what origin is."
"ah?"
Zhou Li was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Yuli, who had just been able to exchange high-level knowledge about dimensions with him, didn't even know what the origin was. But he was also keenly aware that Su Yuli in front of him seemed to be hiding something. After thinking of Atalona beside him, Zhou Li did not have an attack, but asked another question after a brief silence.
"Then what is the source of your power?"
"this?"
Stretching out her hand, a thin vine appeared in Su Yuli's hand.
"I can't sense this."
Facing Zhou Li's gaze, Atalona shook her head, indicating that she was unable to analyze the nature of this vine. Zhou Li turned his head and his eyes fell on the vine on Su Yuli's palm. He nodded and said, "Yes, I want to know why you looked like that just now."
"This..."
Su Yuli looked a little dazed and a little sad. She lowered her head and looked at the rattan in her hand, her voice no longer as bright as before.
"After the origin disappeared, the Demon Court also encountered the invasion of entropy spirits."
Gently rubbing the lines on the rattan, Su Yuli sighed and continued: "For fairies who can control the power of nature, although the invisible entropy spirit cannot compete with them, we can rely on the guidance of nature to avoid these entropy spirits. But later on, the entropy spirit began to erode the nature around us, and the vines and branches began to be swallowed up by the power of the entropy spirit. Once in contact, the goblin will disappear instantly, as if being swallowed."
"At the beginning, the scope of entropy spirit's erosion was not large, and we could still cope with it. But later, the scope of entropy spirit's erosion became more and more intense, and there was not much of our home left. In the end, only this building was left It also allows fairies to live in it.”
Looking at this relatively new building, Su Yuli's expression was a bit emotional, "Later, the Immortal appeared. He found me and handed the boundary monument to me. But because Yaoting is the only one that has been eroded by the entropy spirit, Although boundary monuments can block entropic spirits in a natural area, they cannot allow the polluted land to retreat."
"I have been researching with the Immortal for a long time, but without the slightest gain. Just when we were completely desperate and ready to abandon this land and go to the human or immortal court, I suddenly discovered..."
Slowly pulling up his sleeves, the transparent skin and scarlet blood vessels formed a strong color contrast. Su Yuli smiled faintly and said softly: "My body can carry pollution."
"Later, I restored all the land and nature that had been eroded by entropy spirits in the entire Demon Court to its original appearance. Under the suppression of boundary monuments, the pollution did not erode me. But I know that pollution will always exist, and sooner or later it will be completely Control my body. Therefore, I completely sealed this building, and at the same time, using the soul wood as a guide, I divided my soul and body into hundreds of parts and placed them in the wood forged by the boundary monument."
Looking at the twisted trees that had melted into pieces of stone, Su Yuli was not afraid, but said slowly with a kind of inner peace: "Later, pollution completely took control of me. However, he still left me I had no time to react. I decomposed my body and soul, and used the fusion of these soul trees and boundary monuments to completely suppress me. This made it impossible for pollution to make me an entropic spirit, and it was also difficult to use me to pollute other lands. "
"I didn't fuse your body."
Zhou Li seemed to notice something. His pupils tightened at first, and then he asked in a deep voice, "I have never sensed your soul either."
"That's right."
With a faint smile, Su Yuli stared at Zhou Li and the three people around him, and said softly: "I have died a long time ago. What you saved is just the echo of my soul."
I should have thought of it earlier.
Zhou Li was stunned. He finally understood why Su Yuli could speak in that one-dimensional space. Because Su Yuli had sealed everything about her in the three-dimensional world a long time ago. Therefore, in that space, she was the only one who could speak.
"Where is the Master of the Immortal Courtyard?"
Although Zhou Li knew that Su Yuli was about to disappear, he knew that now was not the time to be sentimental about Qiu. He needed to get more information about the Three Eastern Courts. Su Yuli also understood that Zhou Li's approach was correct, but she still showed a look of regret.
"I'm so sorry."
Looking at Zhou Li and the people behind him, Su Yuli bowed slightly and said regretfully: "The name of the Lord of the Immortal Courtyard has been lost in words a long time ago. Since he re-established the Three Eastern Courtyards at the expense of himself Later, his name and everything became our promotion. We knew he existed, but we couldn't explain it. But..."
"Master of the Renting Court, Ying Ji may have the clues you want."
"Winning season."
Zhou Li was stunned. In the memory of his previous life, he had been in contact with Ying Ji for a long time. But due to unknown reasons, his impression of Ying Ji was very vague. He only remembered that he was a man with a majestic appearance.
"Where is he?"
Resisting the strange feeling caused by memory loss, Zhou Li gritted his teeth and asked, "How should I find him?"
"I haven't had any contact with Ying Ji for decades, so if you ask me where he is, I can't answer. However, I can tell you how to find him."
Su Yuli looked at her dissipating body, with no regrets, only pure calmness. She closed her eyes slightly and said softly: "Ying Ji is a proud man, and he is also a recognized sage among the masters of the human court in the past generations. Therefore, when the origin collapse occurs, he will never abandon his people. Three hundred miles east of here is the capital of Human Court [Luoyang], and if I guessed correctly, he should be in that palace."
"Go ahead."
Su Yuli's face had begun to become blurry. She took one last look at Zhou Li and spoke in an ethereal voice.
"Do what needs to be done."
The words disappeared, along with the reverberation of Su Yuli's soul.
Zhou Li and his party were silent. They rescued Su Yuli, but in the end they learned that what they saved was just the reverberation of the soul. But it was this reverberation of souls that saved the entire Demon Court and found a way forward for Zhou Li and others.
"Erect a monument."
For some reason, while looking at the peaceful building, Atalona was the first to speak: "Just like you humans like best, build a stone monument for her."
Zhou Li did not answer, but stared blankly at the place where Su Yuli disappeared. In his memory, he had met Su Yuli and spent a long time with her. In his vague impression, Su Yuli only brought him brightness. After a long silence, Zhou Li nodded and said, "Torea, give me a hand."
Torea, whose name was called from the side, did not refuse. She walked to Zhou Li's side, her thoughts moved slightly, and her profession was suddenly switched to elemental mage. After communicating with the elements, a pear-shaped stone tablet appeared where Su Yuli disappeared. Zhou Li pulled out the dagger from his waist, stepped forward, bent down, and began to carve words.
Su Yuli-Master of the Demon Court
Sleep here forever.
Zhou Li only left these two paragraphs, because he had a hunch that this time was definitely not a farewell. He could feel that at the last moment, Su Yuli had not only hopes for him, but also a familiar expectation.
Pushing open the door, Zhou Li and others left the building that held the master of the Demon Courtyard. This time, their target became the city-state called Luoyang three hundred miles away in the east.
"Luoyang..."
Taoyao pursed her lower lip slightly and frowned, thinking hard about the name Zhou Li had given her. After a moment, she looked at Zhou Li and said with some uncertainty: "I seem to have heard of this name. My father once said when drinking with someone that Luoyang has a grander origin than any other place. He I said that as long as we can get the origin of Luoyang, there will be no enemies in this world that can compete with it."
"The origin..."
Zhou Li discovered that no matter how things changed, they would eventually return to the origin. It seems that the origin of everything is the origin.
Zhou Li turned around and saw that Torea was standing on a hillside not far away and looking into the distance. As the only person here who could play a detective role, Torea had never complained that she was the only one who had to be on guard all the time. After all, she didn't want Atalona to patrol for everyone. It wasn't that she was worried. The main reason was that she was a goddess after all, and she couldn't let her work no matter how bad she was.
Because she had enough trust in Zhou Li, Torea did not react to Zhou Li's gaze. Of course, it could also be due to numbness. After all, Zhou Li has always been unwilling to lag behind others in terms of sweeping his gaze.
But this time, Zhou Li was thinking about nothing else.
Demon King...Treaia.
Torrea...are you the Demon King?
