Green mountains and rivers, lush forests and cultivating bamboo.
Xu Han, dressed in white, once again appeared in this world. He walked towards the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain.
His footsteps were quick and urgent.
His brows furrowed, and the muscles on his face twitched, as if he was trying his best to suppress some of the emotions in his heart.
He pushed open the gate of the fence courtyard. The black cats and dogs in the courtyard stopped fighting and turned to look at him. Their gazes were no longer as vigilant and fearful as the last time the white-robed "Xu Han" had arrived, but were filled with doubts.
However, the white-robed Xu Han, who was full of worries, did not notice the slight change in the black cat and dog. He went straight to the door of the thatched cottage, but did not say anything. He just stared at the door with a cold expression.
The people in the sect seemed to have sensed his existence. After a few breaths, a voice came from within the sect, "The emperor is very leisurely. Why are you free to come to my humble abode?"
The door slowly opened with the sound of the people in the room. Xu Han, who was dressed in the same white clothes, walked out of the room and looked at him with a smile.
The Emperor frowned. Although Xu Han didn't say anything in the past, the Emperor could feel that Xu Han intentionally wanted to maintain a certain difference from the Emperor from his usual clothes and the way he talked to him.
At this moment, Xu Han, who was dressed in white and had a calm and relaxed expression, gave the emperor the illusion that his identity had changed with Xu Han.
This was obviously not a good feeling.
"I finished my tea last time. Before I could go to the mountains to pick it, I can only use clear water instead of tea today." Xu Han did not seem to sense the expectations of the Emperor. He sat down beside the stone table in the courtyard with a smile. He took out the teapot that had been placed on the stone table and filled a cup of water for himself and the Emperor. Then, he smiled and extended his hand to the Emperor and said, "Please sit down."
The Emperor frowned even deeper. However, he still sat opposite Xu Han after a few breaths. Then, he picked up the cup of water and put it on his lips. He said, "You know very well that everything in this world is just an illusion. Not to mention the mere tea leaves, it is also the stars in the sky. With a thought, it is clear to your heart. Why bother talking nonsense with me here?" Do you think this sovereign will play games with that three-year-old boy here? "
"Didn't the Emperor put me in this illusion just to erase my mind and make me indulge in it? Why did I really do this? The Emperor is not happy anymore?" Xu Han also picked up the water in the cup and drank a little. Then, he smiled and asked.
The Emperor did not say anything. Instead, he stared at Xu Han. After looking at the scene for a long time, he said again, "Sometimes, I really feel that you are more terrifying than those Ghost Millets from the Beyond the Heavens."
"Emperor, you must be joking. I am only a prisoner of the Emperor now. How can I compare to those big shots who are scheming against the heavens?" Xu Han replied.
The Emperor knew that with Xu Han's temperament, it would be difficult for him to get any more topics he wanted to know from the other party's mouth. Therefore, he put away his thoughts of continuing to be false and trusting with Xu Han and went straight to the point, "According to our agreement, I have stopped penetrating this world these past few days." And just yesterday, I smelled the nauseating smell of the ghost corn. "
"I think they've found the location of this world again. What about your plan?"
The teacup Xu Han picked up slightly stopped in mid-air, but his expression remained unchanged. "It should have been eight months. It's still a bit shorter than I imagined."
"Then what? What exactly is your plan? Don't forget, once the Ghost Valleys really invade this world again, I will die! Neither will you!" The Emperor's eyebrows faintly surged with killing intent. Compared to Xu Han's calmness, the Emperor's appearance was somewhat anxious.
"The emperor has been imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years. He has already endured such a long period of time. Why is he in a state of chaos now?" Xu Han narrowed his eyes and sized up the man in front of him, who was exactly the same as him. He didn't even have much of a difference in clothes. He asked meaningfully, "Or is the Emperor afraid of something?"
The Emperor's face twitched. He held the cup and his knuckles turned pale. "Do you know who those Ghost Valleys are looking for? The fake god you created is teaching that fake god how to become a true god in this world. Once they do this, they will bewitch him. That fake god will probably fall on their side."
"The Emperor has also said that Ziyu is just a fake god created by me. Her so-called divine power can only display its might in this world. What is the Emperor afraid of her doing?" The smile on Xu Han's face became even more intense.
However, for some reason, these words infuriated some extremely sensitive thoughts in the Emperor's heart. The killing intent between his eyebrows rippled uncontrollably at that time. Then he slapped the stone table, His body suddenly stood up. "Don't pretend to be confused. Once that fake god completely controls the power of this world, she can easily open the seal in the depths of the world and take out 40% of my power. At that time, regardless of whether it is she who consumes this power alone or hands it over to the Ghost Rice, what awaits us will be death."
'"She doesn't even need to be so troublesome. As long as she completely exposes the aura of this world, the Gui Gu Zi will be able to completely lock onto this world. At that time, the Gui Gu Zi will only need to destroy this world and they will be able to obtain victory in this game that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years! I don't believe you don't know the stakes!"
"The Emperor also knows that I am not an idiot, and he also understands that we are on the same boat now. What is the Emperor worried about?" Xu Han asked with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, he could feel the dense killing intent between the Emperor's eyebrows. He knew that some things were too late, so after a few breaths of time, he said again, "The Emperor's worries are not completely unreasonable, but not all of them are reasonable."
"The Gui Gu Zi have indeed absorbed too much of the Emperor's power over the years. 45% of the Emperor's power is in their hands. In a sense, they can be considered to be heaven-seeing figures in the Myriad Domains of the Universe."
"But wasn't the emperor trapped in a world back then and forbidden from ascending to heaven?"
"Therefore, although the Gui Gu Zi's cultivation is not ordinary, they are far from omnipotent. It is not strange for them to be able to find the aura of this world, but they only descended here with a projection and chose to rope in Zi Yu. Why?"
"It's just that they put down some of their moves in this world so that they could descend here, However, he did not lock onto the Qi of this world at all. Under the situation where an Emperor was blinding the Heaven's Will, even if Fang Ziyu completely grasped the power of a divine being, he would not be able to contend against the Emperor. He would be able to unlock the shadows that shrouded this world and expose it to Gui Gu Zi's vision. Therefore, if they didn't dare to spend more time searching for the exact location of this world, there would only be one path left for Gui Gu Zi.
Xu Han put down the teacup in his hand and looked straight at the Emperor in front of him. His voice became terribly deep at that moment, "It was to bewitch Fang Ziyu to open the seal in the depths of the world and take out the Emperor's power."
"Isn't this what we want to do? Since the Ghost Rice are willing to help, why are we in such a hurry to take action?"
The expression on the Emperor's face changed. He still frowned, as if he was thinking of something. He muttered to himself, "Then how can you guarantee that 40% of the power will fall into our hands?"
'"Once they break the seal, 40% of the emperor's power will definitely surge in this world. Some of them are close to the water, and we have the initiative in this world. The Ghost Rice Men will have to pay a price if they want to obtain the initiative on an equal footing with us."
When the Emperor heard this, although he was unwilling to admit it, he had no choice but to admit that he could no longer see through Xu Han, so he had no choice but to ask again, "What kind of price?"
"Assimilate Fang Ziyu." Xu Han's expression was cold as he spat out these words.
"Emperor can make Zhou Zhangmuji and the others completely become your servants, because the Emperor's power carries a strong demonic power, can make people completely become the Emperor's servants without losing their minds, and the Ghost Millet who has mastered 45% of the Emperor's power obviously also has this ability. However, Ziyu was the god of this world. In addition, the Ghost Millet could not use this power as easily as an emperor, so they had to pay a price several times more than an emperor. "At the same time, in order to ensure complete control of the Fang Ziyu, they need the strength that descends on him. I have estimated that it must be around 10% of the strength of an emperor."
"This amount is not too small, nor too much. Too few, they cannot completely assimilate the Fang Ziyu, and too many, they might be devoured by the Fang Ziyu. On the contrary, they will become the servants of the Fang Ziyu. With the prudent nature of the Gui Gu Zi, they will definitely do so."
The Emperor's expression became strange. "Then what?" He asked.
Xu Han looked at the Emperor with a faint smile. "Do I need to say more about what happened next? Fang Ziyu opened the seal in the depths of the world. At that time, she only had 10% of the Emperor's power, but the Emperor had 15% of the Emperor's power. At that time, the Emperor only used to kill Fang Ziyu. Isn't everything the same as our plan?"
"Are you really willing to sacrifice that fake god?" This plan was far more thorough than the Emperor had expected. Compared to its thoroughness, what was even more difficult for the Emperor to predict was its cruelty. At least based on his understanding of Xu Han, it was hard for him to imagine that the man in front of him would come up with such a poisonous scheme and actually carry it out.
Xu Han stood up and the black cat obediently jumped into his embrace.
He held the black cat and paced back and forth in front of the emperor.
"Of course the Gui Gu Zi can also calculate what I can calculate, but does the Emperor know why the Gui Gu Zi are willing to take such a risk?"
After Xu Han asked this question, The Emperor was slightly stunned. Without waiting for an answer from the Emperor, Xu Han gave an answer. "Because they are like emperors, After looking at Xu 19 times, they thought that with my temperament, I would definitely not watch Fang Ziyu die at the hands of the Emperor. When the Emperor takes action, I will definitely think of a way to compete with the Emperor for ownership of this body. At that time, the Emperor's 15% strength could only be used to accomplish it. How could I stop them from doing anything? "
"Therefore, Emperor must not make the same mistake as Gui Gu Zi."
The Emperor was stunned. He stared at Xu Han for a long time with a strange expression. At this moment, the illusion that he had just come to this place became even more intense. It was as if he was the mortal who struggled between the two giants, and the one sitting in front of him was the emperor who was in charge of the clouds and winds.
His face darkened. After a short silence, his tone was somewhat dry. "You are even more terrifying than I imagined."
"Perhaps after your plan is completed, I will choose to kill you first, not Gui Gu Zi."
After saying this, his body gradually became ethereal and disappeared after a few breaths.
Xu Han narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the Emperor had just stood. He smiled faintly and said, "If that's really the case."
"I am extremely honored."
