A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He raised his right index finger and pressed it against Long Jiu’s forehead again.

The moment it landed, the divine source in his entire body erupted and gushed into Long Jiu’s body, transforming into a vortex that spun violently.

The suction force of the vortex attracted the divine authority in Long Jiu’s body that was constantly devouring him.

This divine authority was deeply rooted in Long Jiu’s body, parasitizing him. It was like a Gu worm, entangled with his flesh and blood and soul.

It was extremely difficult to take it out.

Moreover, Long Jiu was rapidly weakening and would probably die in just over ten minutes.

Hence, the first thing Xu Qing had to do was to maintain Long Jiu’s life force.

Hence, he performed a series of hand seals with his left hand while taking out a large number of medicinal pills. After he scattered them, they formed dust that landed on Long Jiu’s body and seeped into his body, nourishing his vitality.

At the same time, he also spread out the flames of his own life and enveloped the surroundings, mobilizing Long Jiu’s life force, causing his soul fire that was about to be extinguished to sway and maintain its burning state.

However, this only barely maintained Long Jiu’s life force.

The devouring of the divine authority was too domineering, as though it wanted to completely extinguish Long Jiu’s life.

In the end, the key to allowing Long Jiu’s life force to continue was the flesh and blood pill Xu Qing had refined with the white wind in the Moon Offering Region back then.

This pill had an unbelievable effect on vitality, allowing one’s vitality to increase explosively.

Although it was chaotic, to a certain extent, it was also a huge nourishment for life force.

If it was any other time, the effect of this pill would be harmful without any benefits. However, now, everything would be reversed.

Just like that, under Xu Qing’s efforts, time flowed by.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Qing worked hard to extend Long Jiu’s life.

Although Long Jiu was on the verge of death many times during this period, in the end, he still barely survived.

This allowed Xu Qing to have enough time to slowly guide that trace of luck divine authority into his divine source vortex.

At the last moment, the Great Emperor’s scissors appeared above Xu Qing’s head.

As soon as this pair of scissors appeared, the weather changed. As it ruthlessly snipped, cracking sounds echoed in all directions!

The scissors trembled and the traces of rust became even denser. It couldn’t cut the threads.

After all, this divine authority came from a true god. From a certain perspective, if the divine authority was complete, the Great Emperor’s scissors wouldn’t even be able to shake it.

Fortunately, this was only a trace of the complete divine authority of luck.

Hence, Xu Qing gritted his teeth. After paying the price of increasing rust, amidst the many cracking sounds echoing, the threads that were connected to the starry sky formed by the divine authority were continuously cut off time and time again.

Nine times later, under the eruption of the Great Emperor’s scissors, the threads formed by the divine authority finally broke completely!

The moment they were cut off, Xu Qing’s divine source vortex completely enveloped this trace of luck divine authority. He then ruthlessly pulled it out and put it back into his body.

At the next instant, Xu Qing sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, motionless.

His body suppressed the divine authority with all its might and continued to invade it.

At this moment, Long Jiu, who was lying at the side, trembled. In his unconscious state, a large amount of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. However, the continuous devouring of his life force had been restrained.

At that moment, although his aura was weak, it was much more stable.

A day later.

Xu Qing opened his eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot and his soul felt exhausted. However, he was in high spirits.

That trace of luck divine authority was ultimately refined into a divine authority seed in the nihility land after it became rootless.

“It also created karma with the returning True God…”

“But… the karma between me and the fragmented-face makes me not afraid of other karma.”

“Moreover, according to this god’s plan, it will take more than thousands of years for It to return.”

“If I were still alive thousands of years later, I wouldn’t have to fear this god at all.”

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed as he looked at Long Jiu.

Although Long Jiu was still unconscious, his breathing was becoming more and more stable and his expression had eased a lot.

Before this, Xu Qing and Long Jiu didn’t have much to do with each other.

They were strangers.

Previously, under the influence of this divine authority, Long Jiu was already on the brink of death. Without Xu Qing’s intervention, he would have long been annihilated, his entire being completely sacrificed to facilitate the return of that unknown True God.

Although Xu Qing’s primary goal was to seize that trace of divine authority, it must be said that this was a stroke of luck for Long Jiu, who otherwise would have certainly perished.

Because this divine authority had been taken away by Xu Qin, in this situation where he would definitely die, Long Jiu survived.

“This divine authority is indeed strange. To a certain extent, my appearance and saving him can be seen as the divine authority still playing a role at the last moment.”

“Every time he encounters danger, he will definitely meet a benefactor.”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He now had a better understanding of the god’s exclusive divine authority.

“It’s completely different from the origin of cultivators.”

“Divine authority is an even more ancient power.”

Xu Qing sensed the divine authority seed in his body. A while later, he took a deep breath and stood up.

He was going to leave this place.

However, before he left, he took one last look at the unconscious Long Jiu.

“I obtained this divine authority from you and saved your inevitable death. From now on, the karma has been severed.”

Xu Qing raised his hand and waved it. After sending out a stream of vitality that fused into Long Jiu’s body, he took a step toward the sky and disappeared into the distance.

A while later, as the cold wind howled here, the unconscious Long Jiu’s body trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.

At first, there was confusion in his eyes, but very soon, his eyes widened and he quickly stood up. As he surveyed his surroundings, he also checked his body.

When he discovered that everything was normal, suspicion appeared in his eyes.

“Why do I remember that before I fainted, something seemed to have appeared in my body and was devouring everything about me…”

“And now, there’s nothing abnormal. Instead, there’s an unprecedented clarity, as though I have been purified?”

Long Jiu was at a loss. However, his past experiences allowed him to adapt very quickly.

“There’s a high chance that I met another benefactor after I fainted.”

At the thought of this, excitement rose in Long Jiu’s heart. Now that he had given out all his tokens, according to his plan, he just needed to wait for those benefactors to go to the Northern Fate Royal Family to find him.

“I’ll definitely be able to rise in the Northern Fate Royal Family!”

Long Jiu took a deep breath and was about to leave. However, after he took a step forward, he retracted his foot and bowed respectfully to the surroundings, speaking loudly.

“Thank you, benefactor. I’m Long Jiu, a member of the royal family.”

“Benefactor, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. If you head to the Northern Fate Royal Family in the future and have any orders for me, I will definitely do my best to repay you.”

With that, Long Jiu bowed again before rising into the air. In the cold wind, he headed straight for the distance.

Due to the violent wind and the swaying of the snow, the sky looked dim like the starry sky.

As the clouds churned, they were like nebulae.

It was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.

The nebula churned.

In the starry sky outside the Wanggu World, in the distant void, it was dark.

Very soon, a white dot of light appeared in the darkness.

This light spot grew larger and larger until it transformed into a gigantic ball of light.

It continued to expand and collapse. There was a blurry murmur that continued to echo.

“Eternal star ring, all realms’ beings.”

“My name is Vast Star, holding authority since ancient times.”

“Recite my name, and I shall grant luck.”

“Worship my form, and eternal life shall be yours.”

Whispers spread out from the ball of light and drifted through the star ring, landing in all directions like seeds… Among them, the place where they drifted the most was Wanggu.

The threads were connected to It and guided It forward.

This lasted until there was a thread that flickered and rapidly dimmed the instant it connected to It. Finally, it broke with a cracking sound.

The ball of light shook and the light inside suddenly spread out.

However, that was all. There was only an instinctive murmur from the ball of light that had no will…

Xu Qing raised his head and used the Emperor’s Scissors again, cutting off the murmur that suddenly appeared in his ears.

On the way to where Erniu was, this was the seventh time this murmur suddenly appeared in his ears.

Xu Qing wasn’t surprised.

Every time it appeared, he would just cut it. Moreover, as he cut it again and again, the sound became softer and softer. The previous time was almost undetectable.

“In the end, It is a god who died and only Its true name is left.”

Xu Qing glanced at the sky. After that, he retracted his gaze and his body disappeared in the wind and snow. He followed the sound of the wind and the sounds of everything as he shuttled through the void.

Finally, he returned before the agreed date with Erniu.

Erniu wasn’t finished yet.

A few days later, Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ice plain, opened his eyes.

The ice layer under him collapsed. As the shadow rapidly returned, a graceful figure rushed up from under the glacier and walked over, standing in front of Xu Qing.

This was a woman.

Her appearance was like a spring breeze in a cold world, bringing a touch of unique color to the gloomy land.

Her face resembled a delicate painting, fine and vivid.

Her eyebrows were like new moons, akin to a clear spring flowing through the mountains, fresh and natural.

Her eyes were deep as lakes, sparkling with wisdom, seeming to penetrate all worldly matters. The slight upward curve of her lips revealed a calm confidence, as if she could face any situation with ease.

Especially notable was her elegant long dress, which perfectly outlined her figure. The hem of the dress swayed gently with her steps, like a light butterfly dancing among flowers.

Her demeanor was both unique and charming, embodying the gentle grace and tenderness of a woman, yet also independence and strength.

When she got close, she revealed a gorgeous smile.

“Brother Qing, am I beautiful?”

Xu Qing remained silent.

The woman didn’t stop. She raised her jade-like hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. A gentle expression appeared in her eyes as she chuckled.

“Who is more beautiful, Ling’er or me?”

Veins bulged on Xu Qing’s forehead.

“Who is more beautiful, that seductive fox or me?”

Xu Qing’s right eye flickered with erase authority.

“Who is more beautiful, Zi Xuan or me?”

The woman smiled slyly.

The divine authorities in Xu Qing’s body erupted violently. He looked at the person in front of him and took a deep breath. After that, he took out a recording jade slip and calmly spoke.

“Eldest Senior Brother, what did you say just now? I didn’t hear you clearly. Say it again.”

The woman’s expression turned serious. She coughed and calmly spoke.

“Little Qing, stop playing.. Let’s get down to business!”
