“… Brother Chu, we are leaving, and we may never come back again. We have no choice but to go to God’s kingdom. We can only try our best to survive over there while enduring the pressure from the two sides. Even if we are puppets, we still have some value. Maybe there is still a chance… and Godhood… Xiao Cao (TN: the little plant girl whose body was stolen by other plants. She only had a head left. From Zhiwu forest) has grown up now. She kept asking me when you will be back. She still remembers the stories you told her. She misses you very much, Brother Chu, I am sorry. I hate how weak and cowardly I was. The last time you came to Zhiwu forest, I actually saw you, but I… sometimes, even Xiao Cao has more courage than me…”
…
Folding the blood scripture, Chu Yunsheng was calm. He seemed to have seen that little plant girl again.
“What’s your name?”
“Xiao Cao, it means little grass. It is my new name…”
….
God’s Kingdom?
They were going to God’s Kingdom? But which one? Was it God’s Kingdom ruled by the master of the Seven Divine Nails or the senior practitioner’s Kingdom?
The fragments were so badly damaged that many areas were almost impossible to read. The only areas that he could read didn’t tell him much information.
Humans in the Sixth Era had always tried their best to survive. First, they tried to survive the insects’ invasion, then they tried their best to survive in the war between the five elemental races and the Tzolk’in beings. But now, they still had to try their best to survive in the conflict in God’s Kingdoms. It made Chu Yunsheng wonder if the sixth era was the unluckiest era amongst the seven eras.
Chu Yunsheng thought about the clues left in the fragments, such as puppets, godhood and some other things. He guessed that maybe the army of the God’s Kingdom once ruled by the senior practitioner had finally arrived on earth, or maybe it was the army of the owner of the Seven Divine Nails that had arrived on earth, but no matter whose army it was, it was not the army that the ruler of the milky way was able to compete with. Probably when both armies arrived at the milky way, the original ruler of the milky way had already run away.
In the war between two God’s Kingdoms, humans in the Sixth Era were as weak as ants. Without godhood, they would have been completely wiped out already. The reason why they could survive and be used as puppets probably had something to do with the senior practitioner.
If it was the army of the senior practitioner’s Kingdom that arrived on earth, it meant that there might be internal conflict within the senior practitioner’s kingdom. That was probably the reason why they would be used as puppets. However, if it was the army sent by the owner of the Seven Divine Nails, then the owner of the Seven Divine Nails probably wanted to use the humans of the Seventh Era as a tool to cause internal conflict inside the senior practitioner’s kingdom.
But if both armies arrived at the same time, the situation would be much more complicated. Chu Yunsheng could not imagine how chaotic it would be.
In the end, he decided to stop thinking about those things for the time being. All the people in the room, except for Ba Yi who was moving around impatiently, kept quiet and waited for him to finish reading the blood scripture.
Looking at the blood scripture that was made of archaeome, Chu Yunsheng suddenly had an idea. He might be able to fuse them into the green armor to increase the number of archaeome in the armor.
Then he turned his head to look at Jacob and said, “we don’t have to share the same body anymore.”
“You, are you the god of death?” Jacob said in a surprised tone.
Chu Yunsheng nodded, then looked at Wen Luo and said, “Miss Wen, I can’t explain clearly why I would want to drag you into this, so you don’t need to ask me. Just consider yourself unlucky that you met me. From today, you can only stay here, and when I catch up with some old acquaintances, I will know what is going on.”
This was probably the most unreasonable and blatant kidnapping. Wen Luo was angry in her heart. However, she was also very clear that she was just a weak woman, so she did not have other choices. She could only summon up her courage and ask the question that confused her the most, “can I ask what do you want me to do? Or is there something special about me?”
Chu Yunsheng smiled, shook his head, and said, “do you believe in the previous life? We may have met before and even argued once.”
That was all he could say. In fact, he was not sure whether there was Wen Luo outside of the node in his own memory. After all, he had already resigned at that time. It was different from what happened in the node, so he could only wait until he caught up with the Sixth Era to check the information recorded by Sky City.
Wen Luo seemed to have understood what Chu Yunsheng said slightly, “you mean you will trap me here or send me to another place? I will not resist, but I want to know what will happen to me.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded, “All I can tell you now is that you will be safe. As for the future, you will be taken away by me. Therefore, if you have any relatives or friends that you want to bring with you, you can tell Buterne their information. Buterne will bring them here.”
Wen Luo smiled bitterly. She no longer spoke. She wouldn’t let her parents and family members fall into this trap.
Although Chu Yunsheng said that she would be safe, she didn’t believe it at all. With just the amount of blood she saw when she got into the manor, this place was probably the most dangerous place on earth.
Chu Yunsheng could tell what she was thinking, but he didn’t plan to persuade her. After glancing past Emily whose mouth was gagged, he looked at Ba Yi and asked in confusion, “how come you arrived here so fast? Did you not encounter the main force of the Murphy family?”
“Fuck, it’s finally my turn!” Ba Yi rubbed his nose, spat on the ground in front of many people without shame, and said coarsely, “You can’t blame me for this. Their main force didn’t plan to come back to rescue the headquarters. After learning that the fight had broken out in the hotel in advance, they went to the hotel instead of coming back.”
“They went to the hotel?” Chu Yunsheng’s heart suddenly dropped.
“Yes,” Ba Yi pointed at Jacob. “It was Deere who led the main force. They wanted to take Ashe, as well as Jacob’s family members.”
Jacob suddenly let out a cry, jumped up, and said anxiously, “They went after my family? Will they hurt them? The god of death, P…”
Chu Yunsheng reached out his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I asked Ba Yi’s men to look after your family, if anything happens to your family, he will be responsible for it.”
Ba Yi immediately said angrily, “What do you mean that I will be responsible for it? Can you be a little bit reasonable? Besides, we don’t want to mess with the US government”
Ashe also hurriedly comforted Jacob, “Don’t worry, Deere won’t harm civilians, and your parents will be fine.”
Ba Yi looked back and sneered coldly, “He won’t? In 1987, it was he who brought people to massacre the entire Sophie Town. In 1992, outside of Seattle, after you left, he went back and killed 11 people. In 1995—”
He said so fiercely as if he was sure that Jacob’s family had died in Deere’s hands. It made Jacob so scared that he fell to the ground on the spot with a paled face.
“You are lying, why didn’t I know about any of this?” Ashe argued.
Ba Yi said coldly, “Of course you don’t know. Why would he let you know that he is helping you to wipe your ass?”
When Ashe wanted to argue again, Chu Yunsheng lifted up his hand to stop her, “Ba Yi, don’t talk about those useless things. What do you mean by the US government? Didn’t you say that it was Deere? Why did it involve the US government?”
Ba Yi snorted. Looking at the pale-faced Jacob, he said, “Don’t worry, the US government got your family before Deere could. With the number of people they had, they would not dare to mess with the US government even more. Regarding the US government’s movement, it probably involved the vampires that joined them, but in terms of which clan is involved, we are still investigating it for the time being. But it might be quicker for a vampire clan to investigate it. After all, they are all vampires.
“The Bureau of Investigation has a secret office called Office Eleven that was dedicated to people like us. It contained many files about us. Before you showed up, as long as the trouble we caused wasn’t big, they didn’t care. Anyway, it was a fight between us. Sometimes they would even use vampires and us to do something bad in the Middle East. After you appeared, probably some vampire clans thought they couldn’t deal with you with their own power, so they submitted the relevant document to Office Eleven, trying to use the power of the government to deal with you. The Bureau of Investigation seems to be very interested in the legendary undead king…”
Chu Yunsheng glanced at Buterne, and got confirmation from her eyes. He thought for a moment and said, “So, I have become the target of the US government?”
Ba Yi said helplessly, “I’m afraid yes. I’d advise you to find a place to hide and deal with the vampire clans one by one. I know you don’t take us seriously, but when the army moves, even if you are a superman, you will be killed.”
Chu Yunsheng said, “that’s not your concern. I will need to go to Miss Wen’s country soon. Unless this country wants to have a war with the other country, they would not be able to chase me all the way to her country. Let me ask you first, how many people can you gather?”
“About a hundred people.” Ba Yi asked in confusion, “Hey, don’t tell me that you want to ask us to take the people back from the government’s hand. I’m telling you, that will get us killed, so we won’t go.
“I’m not that stupid.” Chu Yunsheng said, “they are the US citizens, they are much safer with the government than with us. We…”
At this time, Jacob suddenly interrupted and said, “the god of death I want to go to the Bureau of Investigation and save them.”
Chu Yunsheng was silent for a moment and said, “Jacob, it’s not that I don’t want to save your family. It is much safer for your family to stay with the government.”
Jacob repeatedly shook his head and said, “but they will be scared, and, and, I, I really don’t want anything to happen to them. I am very worried.”
It was at this moment, the guardian suddenly showed up and said tiredly, “Let him go, everything is irrelevant now. Chu, the space-time pit is about to explode. I have something important that I need you to do. I can only entrust it to you. Please protect the seventh era for me! “
