Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

Originally heading to Anta County, Lu Yu requested to teleport them there himself.

However, due to strong protests from Lin Qiye and An Qingyu, they ultimately chose traditional means of transportation.

After a white-haired guy with a huge sum of money booked the entire luxury private room, Lin Qiye also successfully benefited from his teammate's perk.

"Now I'm going to call out 'Di Ting' (a mythical beast)..."

Lu Yu glanced around and saw that the carriage was completely sealed off and would not cause any adverse effects before taking out a tuft of grayish-white fur from his pocket.

"Is this the fur of the mythical beast Di Ting?"

An Qingyu was the first to crawl up to Lu Yu to observe, her eyes burning with fervor as if she wanted to set the tuft of fur on the table ablaze.

“An, I suggest you rein in your thoughts…” Lu Yu was speechless. “Di Ting can hear people’s hearts, and he’s an autistic kid. Don’t provoke him, or he’ll bite!”

The last time he bit someone, wasn't it because Nezha tied his neck with the Universe Ring and tried to walk the dog around...?

Lu Yu wasn't entirely clear on the details afterward because he was going back home, but it's said that Nezha was taken back to Yaochi by Taiyi Zhenren to retrieve lotus roots to nourish his body...

Yes, in a physical sense, it's a tonic for the body.

She glanced at An Qingyu's refined and gentle demeanor and sighed somewhat: "Diting is usually very easy to talk to and generally doesn't listen to our inner thoughts, but if our inner thoughts are too intense, he can still be forced to hear them."

So, An Qingyu, with your obsession with dissecting other people's bodies, be careful you don't get bitten in the middle of the night...

Having understood Lu Yu's unspoken meaning, Lin Qiye quietly pulled Fatty and Cao Yuan, who were still confused about their newfound companion's hobbies, to sit further away.

"...Speaker, let's begin."

Another familiar silence followed, and after a while, the system's voice came again:

[...at your service—]

A pale white light shone in the center of the table, carrying the tuft of hair into the air.

Immediately afterwards, without any fancy tricks, a small gray-and-white fur-bearing beast appeared there.

It has a tiger's head, a single horn, dog's ears, a dragon's body, a lion's tail, and qilin's feet.

Those golden eyes seemed to still be misty from just waking up. They only snapped awake when they sensed the change in their surroundings and then saw the white-haired girl right in front of them.

The little beast pounced on the girl, burying itself in her arms: "Lu Yu~~~"

Lu Yu skillfully ruffled the little cutie's hair: "Just woke up?"

At this time, Di Ting was just a small auspicious beast born of nature. However, since hell was quiet and there were not many living people, it was just right that it didn't have to hear too many thoughts and settled there peacefully.

It was at this time that Di Ting had not yet been fooled by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva into making the vow, "I will not become a Buddha until hell is emptied."

Lu Yu only needed a candied hawthorn to successfully tame this naive and innocent monster into a cynical creature. He spends all day circling around the girl, calling out "Lu Yu, Lu Yu," just wanting more food.

"I want to eat... cough cough..."

Just as Di Ting was about to eat, it noticed the presence of other people around it, so it quietly straightened its posture, its fluffy dog ​​face full of seriousness.

"I am Di Ting...able to hear the sounds of all things in the world..."

After speaking in a soft, childlike voice, Xiao Diting secretly glanced at the boys, seemingly waiting for what they would say next.

"Hello, Di Ting... I am Lin Qiye..."

Lin Qiye found it amusing; how come the divine beast was still a minor...?

The others introduced themselves and then looked at Di Ting, who was squatting on Lu Yu's lap, with great curiosity.

"Hmph...I'm not a kid anymore!"

The little divine beast glared fiercely at Lin Qiye, who was secretly laughing to himself, clearly having heard his thoughts.

Lu Yu tried hard to suppress a laugh: "Yes, yes, yes... not young anymore..."

Di Ting raised its head: "I'm already a thousand years old! I'm a big kid now! You should call me Lord Di Ting!"

He paused after speaking, seemingly afraid that Lu Yu would be angry, and added, "Lu Yu, you don't need to... just call me by my name."

Lu Yu quietly added from the side, "Divine beasts take ten thousand years to reach adulthood."

Oh, so it means he's still a little kid.

The others secretly covered their mouths and let out sly laughter.

"Lu Yu, what did you call me here for..."

The little animal, whose mouth was finally stuffed with a lollipop by Lu Yu, became much more obedient, at least knowing that the girl wouldn't call him over for no reason.

Getting down to business, Lu Yu finally stopped petting the dog, his face full of affection: "The place we're about to go is Fengdu."

Di Ting twitched its ears: "Ah, Fengdu... isn't that a no-man's-land?"

According to the timeline of the primordial era, there is indeed no mention of the Great Emperor of Fengdu yet...

Lu Yu shook his head: "Fengdu already has a master, the Great Emperor of Beiyin, but it is inconvenient for him to go there to take control of the situation right now, so I called you here."

Since the Fengdu storyline wasn't too serious, Lu Yu gave his teammates a brief explanation, revealing some details without crossing the line of the Heavenly Dao.

First and foremost, she frankly explained to Ye Fan the fundamental reason why most of the Great Xia gods had gone there.

When the young boys heard that the Great Xia God had sacrificed his life for them, their eyes welled up with tears.

"Don't worry... the gods have already reincarnated, and some of their true forms still exist in another dimension. The god I represent also comes from there."

They are all striving to return here, and we should also hurry to grow before they return.

The girl comforted her and then went on to say some of the most important things to note next.

For example, the Emperor of Fengdu is now "transforming into the mortal realm" in the human world. For example, Fengdu is being eyed covetously by various pantheons, and the situation is as dire as the past Cangnan, which had a Shiva grudge.

The [Shiva's Wrath], which was originally placed in the hands of Chen Muye in Cangnan, was also taken to the prehistoric world by Nuwa when she left.

It is said that because it was infused with too much life force, the efficacy of the Shiva's Wrath was greatly diminished, so it was given to Laozi to dispose of the leftover dregs from refining elixirs.

The Shiva's Lament over there has been successfully recycled as a garbage can, but Fengdu here has not yet been properly dealt with.

Although Fengdu's most pressing problems are yet to come, Lu Yu doesn't like to leave issues unresolved until later, as no one can guarantee that unexpected events won't occur.

Therefore, she planned to directly connect to the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the primordial world during this mission.

However, most of the information couldn't be shared with his teammates, so Di Ting, who understood almost instantly, directly listened to Lu Yu's inner thoughts to get the situation.

"Alright... then I'll reluctantly stay with you in the human world for a while..."

Di Ting chewed on a candy, his speech mumbled indistinctly.

Lin Qiye and the others smiled kindly as they watched the small animals eat: "Thank you so much, Lord Diting..."

I'm so happy, isn't this just a cutie?

Lin Qiye, unaware of the gravity of the situation, was still chuckling to himself, completely oblivious to the fact that he was about to encounter a truly hellish little ancestor.

I searched for a long time and finally referenced the appearance of Di Ting from "Fei Ren Zai" with some minor modifications. If you're interested, you can search for the image.
