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

Little Di Ting woke up.

He knew that was another version of himself's future and ending, but he also knew that it wasn't him.

The brief pain and grief were quickly soothed by a peaceful force.

A faint golden light fell upon him, just like the scene when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made his vow that year.

He wasn't the divine beast that had accompanied Ksitigarbha for millions of years; he was just a little Di Ting who lived a life of leisure in the underworld...

But who can save them...?

The little mythical beast was filled with torment.

Save yourself, and those bonds that can no longer be found?

.........

“You…come up here.”

Little Di Ting looked down at the people below the steps, seemingly regaining its previous calm.

Lu Yu had never seen him like this before, and her eyes showed a hint of heartache: "Do you need to rest for a while?"

"Need not……"

He glanced at Li Deyang not far away out of the corner of his eye, said nothing, but looked up at the location of the Heavenly Palace: "Inside..."

Xiao Diting looked at Lin Qiye and suddenly laughed: "It seems that someone is waiting for you...".

Lin Qiye, who was completely bewildered: ? ? ?

Knowing whose deer it is: Hehe~

Seven Nights, do you want a wife?

Little Di Ting: "I'll wait for you here, I won't go up..."

Lu Yu remained silent, understanding that the child needed some quiet time, or perhaps needed to greet and become acquainted with another underworld administrator, so he nodded.

"We'll be down soon."

After saying that, she grabbed Lin Qiye, who was about to ask something, and left the others with the words, "Fatty, you guys wait down there for a moment, Qiye and I will be right down," before teleporting away.

"Lu Yu, why did you bring me up here alone?"

As soon as Lin Qiye landed, he asked the question with a suspicious expression.

What exactly is up there?

Lu Yu rolled her eyes at him: "Why ask so many questions? Just go in and see for yourself."

The two entered the main hall, which had been opened the moment they entered Fengdu. The hall was dark and gloomy all around, but there was an ever-burning lamp at the front, and a red ancient coffin was placed in front of the platform.

Not far from the coffin, several hundred armored soldiers stood guard, forming a crescent shape around it.

When they got closer, they discovered that there were four patterns carved on the coffin lid.

"What does it mean?"

Lin Qiye subconsciously ran his fingertips lightly over the patterns, and murmured softly.

"Who's in this coffin?"

Lu Yu leaned against a stone pillar with an ever-burning lamp hanging beside him, a look of helplessness in his eyes: "Qi Ye, do you think a science student like me knows anything about this kind of archaeology?"

"This looks like something from a long time ago. We two guys who didn't even go to college shouldn't embarrass ourselves like this..."

Lin Qiye: ...

"I didn't say that, I just..."

The boy frowned, seemingly unable to explain himself, but said nothing more.

It's just curiosity... I get it~

Isn't that how you lured that pretty lady away back then?

Helpless, Lu Yu tapped the hilt of the knife at his waist a few times with his fingers: "I already said, since you're already here, either you open the lid, or I'll help you with the knife?"

"...I'll do it..."

Lin Qiye raised his hand, originally thinking that this ancient coffin should require some kind of barrier to open, but he did not expect that as soon as he put his hand on it, the coffin lid was pushed open from the inside by itself.

Has it...come back to life?

The boy instinctively used his hand, which was on the lid, to forcefully pull the coffin lid back on, and then took half a step back.

"Don't back it up! Why did you cover it up? Quick, look at what it is!"

It's like the emperor isn't worried but the eunuch is; do they think this is chat history that can be retracted?

Lu Yu, watching from the side, even wanted to personally help push him into the coffin.

Helpless, Lin Qiye had no choice but to step forward again and reopen the coffin, slowly moving his gaze into it.

"...Alive?"

The boy, having seen the situation inside the coffin, swallowed hard, then silently turned to look at Lu Yu, his eyes full of understanding: "You knew all along, didn't you... You deliberately sent me here?"

A strange fragrance wafted from the coffin, filling the air between the two people.

Lu Yu didn't even need to get close; he could already see the scene inside.

But now is not the time to admire pretty women—

She drew her sword and looked at the armored soldiers who had gathered around her, feeling helpless.

"Seven Nights, wouldn't it have been better if they had opened the coffin themselves? Why did they have to go through all that trouble and wake up the coffin keepers..."

She raised her sword and instantly disappeared into the armored figures.

"Seven Nights, take the older sister inside with you, she's very important! We need to get out now—"

Lin Qiye, who was originally facing Lu Yu's face, quickly turned away, but almost collided with the face of the girl sitting upright in the coffin.

His breath hitched, then he quickly turned his face away: "My friend said he'd take you away, so I'm sorry..."

The girl blinked, looking at him with a gentle expression.

Lin Qiye sighed, resigned himself to his bad luck, picked up the girl in the blue ancient dress, and stepped off the stage.

"Lu Yu, let's go."

The white-haired girl who had been drawing attention away from them nodded, then appeared before the two in the blink of an eye. Almost instinctively, she smiled at the girl in his arms and said, "Hello, sister~"

She whispered gently in the girl's ear, "Isn't Qi Ye handsome? I caught him for you~"

"...Seven Nights..."

The girl uttered those two words softly, and her previously wary gaze towards Lu Yu immediately softened.

Yay! I sold out one Seven Nights and gained a sister!

Lu Yu blinked, looking at the girl with a slightly aggrieved expression: "Sister, look, those guys who were protecting you, they hit me so hard..."

As she spoke, she revealed the red marks on her hand from gripping the knife too tightly.

"I'm so tired."

"Lu Yu, what are you doing now... crazy?"

Before Lin Qiye could utter the word "mad," he heard the girl he was holding suddenly speak. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough—

"stop……"

The armored figures in front of the three, who were charging at them with weapons, all stopped.

One of them ran so fast that it was already behind Lu Yu, and the girl instinctively raised her knife to block it.

Clang—

Since one side has stopped, the other side's attack has been completely absorbed.

Lu Yu looked awkwardly at the iron arm that had been cut off from the armor.

She walked over to the armor, picked up the arm from the ground, and inserted it into the empty hole in the armor:

"I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to..."

---------

small theater:

One day, Lu, who was being scolded by Qiye after causing trouble, ran to Jialan's side—

Lu Yu: Sister Jialan~ Look, Qi Ye is going to hit me... He hit me today, tomorrow he'll hit all of us~ Unlike me, I just feel sorry for everyone~~

Lin Qiye (just arrived) (hiding the stick in his hand) (angry but not daring to speak out): Lu Yu!!!

Garan (smiling): Seven Nights, the little deer is still young... don't do this...

Lu Yu: Hehe~ :)

Lin Qiye (blushing, whether from anger or suppressed rage): What's so small about her? If she were small, she wouldn't have gone to ask me if I'd be...

Galan: ...

Lu Yu: Hehe~ :]

Garan (steps aside): The child still needs more discipline... Give me the stick, I'll do it.
