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

"No way! I know some experts in this field. I'll go find out what's going on right now!"

Baili Tuming couldn't hold back any longer, so he stood up and went to the balcony to make a phone call.

Lin Qiye watched Baili Tuming walk away, then drank a glass of water before looking at An Qingyu: "Are you sure...?"

An Qingyu: "The burden those eyes placed on her was enough to drive an ordinary person insane."

Lin Qiye remained silent.

Yes, Lu Yu, who was smaller than any of them, continued to live like this.

Fatty walked in from the balcony, looking a little strange.

"what happened?"

Baili Tuming pouted: "My parents seem to know about our operation. They said they're worried about my safety and want me to go home..."

Baili Tuming's father was a high-ranking honorary member of the Night's Watch, so he naturally had special channels to know about the missions they would be undertaking as the reserve team.

And as luck would have it, they received a message of concern from the Baili family head as soon as they returned from their mission. While it sounded like nothing was wrong, well…

Returning to Guangzhou or Shenzhen?

The fortune teller's words seemed to echo in my ears once again.

"Meeting someone who is not a relative..."

Lin Qiye looked up at Baili Tuming: "Fatty, how long do you plan to take to leave?"

Baili Tuming scratched his head: "This afternoon, I'll go back early and spend a day or two with them before coming back."

Lin Qiye patted his shoulder: "How about this, I'll go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen with you, and we can go find those experts you mentioned to ask about Lu Yu's situation."

An Qingyu nodded: "We'll stay here and watch over Lu Yu. If she wakes up, we can contact you immediately."

“Galan…you…”

At this moment, Lin Qiye looked at the girl who had only become familiar with them in the past few days.

The girl always seemed to have a familiar dependence on him, yet she maintained a pure and innocent distance.

"I'll wait for her."

Jialan gently picked up the basin of water in her hand, with a towel draped beside it.

Besides the unconscious Lu Yu, there was only one girl in the entire room, Jia Lan, so after Jia Lan got the hang of wiping the girl's body, she handed the task over to her.

"Okay, if she wakes up before Fatty and I get back, remember to contact me."

After making the arrangements here, Lin Qiye began packing the things he needed to take with him when he left.

Since someone from the Baili family came to pick them up this time, Lin Qiye and the others did not plan to use the Death Token that Lu Yu had placed with them as a convenient way to go to Baili Tuming's house.

In the afternoon, the two boys boarded a helicopter on the top floor of the detached villa, bound for Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

…………

Lu Yu closed his eyes, looking at the deity sitting in front of him. After a few seconds, he pretended nothing had happened and closed his eyes again.

"...You want to leave?"

Taiyi's voice rang out, without reproach, and even with a hint of laughter.

Lu Yu reluctantly opened her eyes, looking at the faint golden light appearing on her body: "Taiyi-sensei... today is already the fiftieth day..."

Tai nodded: "...but you still haven't grasped that essence of the sun."

The task he assigned to Lu Yu was very simple: to fully comprehend and absorb the essence of the sun within a certain period of time, and then the course would be considered complete.

During this period, Lu Yu spent her days either learning various combat techniques and fighting styles using different weapons with him, or trying to integrate this special power.

But no matter how Lu Yu tried, in the end he could only watch that essence float around under his skin, but it just wouldn't be accepted.

"...You know my true form, right..."

Taiyi ultimately decided to help Luyu out.

Seeing that Lu Yu nodded, he continued,

"The Golden Crow, though born from the sun star formed from the eye of the Great God Pangu, possesses a far deeper origin than other demon races..."

Donghuang picked up a golden feather from his fingertip and with a gentle stroke, it flew into Lu Yu's hand.

"But we also have things we fear, just like the principle that everything in the universe has its counterpart."

"The Golden Crow is a divine bird of supreme strength and yang, and naturally there will be beings of supreme yin and evil interacting and fighting with it."

The primordial world was cruel; everything was a matter of natural selection, survival of the fittest. Without the strength, one could only be bullied by other creatures.

Therefore, my brother and I began searching a long time ago for ways to enhance our resistance to the most yin and evil forces.

The feather landed in Lu Yu's hand, leaving a warm residue. She looked at the demon emperor Donghuang, who was "the number one person below the sage," and listened intently for a moment.

"My elder brother has decided to establish a Heavenly Court to gather the strength of the demon race to resist foreign enemies..."

I then decided to strengthen my resistance, and sought out the completely opposite force that could be controlled to train myself.

Taiyi spoke so casually, yet he uttered words that deeply shocked Lu Yu.

"Then I discovered that the true water of the sun, like our source, has a counteracting force, and coincidentally... this counteracting force is in itself—that is, this spring."

Hearing this, Lu Yu, who wasn't actually stupid, understood his thoughts:

"Teacher Taiyi's original intention was actually to let me use the power here that is incompatible with the origin of the sun to absorb the primordial power you gave me?"

Taiyi: "That's not all... In fact, you've already absorbed a portion of it... but you can't absorb it completely because it's mixed with some other powers..."

That was the power he had prepared for his only disciple in the future; it was the Mind's Eye that Donghuang Taiyi had taken from his own natal magic weapon—the Chaos Bell.

This insight is to a divine artifact what eyes are to humans.

Being in the primordial wilderness, he was unable to immediately travel to the mortal world to learn about Lu Yu's situation.

However, the Chaos Bell's Mind's Eye can detect anything that threatens its master's safety in a timely manner. Even Taiyi, far away in the primordial world, can sense these anomalies, and the Chaos Bell in his hand can transcend the boundary between the two realms to attack those beings.

In short, it's an intercontinental ballistic missile, or even a plus version.

However, Lu Yu was unaware of these things, and even if he did, it would be at the end of the course.

Taiyi looked at the girl who was constantly playing with the feather and cleared his throat: "You can absorb the remaining power with the help of this feather I gave you."

After thinking for a moment, he explained, "These are feathers from the Golden Crow clan. They have the power to ward off evil and are indestructible. You can keep them as a protective item."

There aren't many golden crow feathers, but they're not none either. Lu Yu accidentally plucked some from the heads of ten sleeping little dumplings with Nezha last time, so receiving these feathers isn't too surprising.

But in fact, the feather in the girl's hand has a remarkable origin.

The last time a golden crow molts its feathers is when it reaches adulthood, and the feather in her hand is the last and only feather that Donghuang Taiyi molted.

Lu Yu knew nothing, just grinning foolishly, which made the god see his own little nephews in his mind's eye.

Suddenly, the girl stopped laughing and looked up at the top of her mentor's head with a hint of worry:

"Taiichi-sensei, are you sure you're not going bald?"

Taiyi: "..."

The感动 (feeling of being moved) won't last more than ten seconds, right?

"...No, the golden crow's feathers have fallen off, and it's just a matter of time before new ones grow."

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief:

"Then I'll absorb it now! I'll definitely finish it within ten days!"

"Not urgent……"

"I'm in a hurry! I'm in a hurry to get back to my teammates!"

"..."

For the first time in tens of thousands of years, Taiyi experienced the desolate feeling of being used and then ruthlessly discarded in his bird life.
