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

[The timeline of that world seems to be disrupted by unfamiliar factors and is on the verge of collapse. The world's consciousness suspects an external invasion, but the specific cause is unknown. You are needed to help find the cause and eliminate it.]

Lu Yu pursed her lips: "I need to go help. How long will it take? What are the requirements?"

[The flow of time is different; a month in that world is a day in this world. Since you were created using fictional power in that world, you naturally cannot die, so there's no need to worry about being harmed there.]

In order to prevent the world's native inhabitants from noticing something amiss, you need to try to maintain the persona that it assigned to you in that world.

The reason I specifically asked you is precisely because this world isn't just the small world you emotionally favor; the consciousness of that world has said that if you help, it will definitely reward you handsomely.

This time, Lu Yu didn't hesitate for a second: "Then I'll go."

Only a fool wouldn't do something that's guaranteed to make a profit!

Moreover, Zhou Ping was planning to give them a day off, which, when converted to time in that world, would give them exactly one month—enough time for her to complete her mission.

"Little Deer... what's wrong?"

Zhou Ping's voice rang in Lu Yu's ears, and she realized that her sudden action of standing up had been a bit too extreme.

Lu Yu quickly cleared her throat a few times, pretending nothing had happened, and looked at Zhou Ping with a smile, asking, "Teacher Zhou, are you asking about my age?"

Seeing Zhou Ping nod, she touched her head, thinking to herself how to escape to her room and flee to another world as soon as possible, while subconsciously saying:

"I'm eighteen years old..."

[Hint—The random penalty for the skill [Mending the Fence After the Sheep Are Lost] is about to begin... This penalty will last for...]

The system's voice sounded again, but even it was forcibly holding back what it was about to say.

[...Lu, Lu Yu—they're rushing me there, I'll...I'll send you off first!!]

The system never expected that the side effects it had suppressed for so long would finally erupt at such a delicate time, almost causing it to sprout a physical form on the spot.

Lu Yu: No, no, isn't this something we absolutely have to disbelieve? Does Teacher Zhou think I'm not eighteen?

Zhou Ping: I'm sorry, but in my eyes, Xiao Lu will always be three and a half years old.

But at that moment, he wasn't thinking about that much; he was just staring at the black hole behind the girl, his eyes widening slightly.

"What's this……"

Lu Yuyuan could naturally see what was behind him, and his eyes widened immediately:

Those who speak out!

You're going to get me killed!

Lin Qiye and his group, who were not far away, also noticed the commotion on Lu Yu's side and immediately rushed over, their voices urgent: "Lu Yu! Behind you!!!"

A tremendous suction force came from behind. Lu Yu only had time to hear the anxious calls of his teammates and teachers, and the system's electronic voice continued to announce the start of the punishment intermittently.

[Hint: The random penalty for the skill "Mending the Fence After the Sheep Are Lost" has been activated —]

The next moment, as Lu Yu felt the pressure on her body, she was pulled in by a strange force, and then she saw the terrified expressions on the faces of her teammates—

"What is this? Use teleportation now!"

Lin Qiye hurriedly tried to reach out and grab her, but unexpectedly, a figure rushed forward faster and more steadily than him, extending... a sword?

Zhou Ping's hands moved faster than his brain. When he realized what was happening, he quickly withdrew the sword from his hand and stretched out his hand again: "Little Deer!"

Lu Yu was completely dumbfounded and had no time to react before everything went black and he disappeared into the cave.

"don't want!!!"

Lin Qiye and the others watched this scene with eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Immediately afterwards, the others outside the cave followed without hesitation—

On the spot, all seven members of Lin Qiye's team, including Zhou Ping, had vanished without a trace.

Only the uneven ground, bearing fresh knife and gun marks, and the slightly wobbling chairs, tell the story of how people once lived here.

…………

"What? Little Deer has left this world?"

When Tongtian, who was still playing cards with Nuwa in the prehistoric world, heard this news, he almost jumped up from the spot.

The young sage practically wore his emotions on his sleeve, which visibly made Bai Ze, who was relaying the message, tremble slightly.

Bai Ze was also helpless. He learned about it from his good friend Xiao Di Ting, who was finally able to come back and see him temporarily.

As a result, the connection with Lu Yu was suddenly lost. Sensing something was wrong, his good brother immediately returned to the mortal world and asked him, who knew everything about the world, to come and find some sages for help.

Bai Ze was afraid of Yuanshi Tianzun, who disliked those with nothing but wet hair and intact eggs, and dared not approach Taishang Laojun, who spent all his time in the alchemy room. Hongjun was completely out of the question, and even Nuwa's palace was nowhere to be found.

Bai Ze had been running around for most of the day, thinking it over and over, and vaguely remembered that he hadn't yet visited Biyou Palace.

Who would have thought that not only was the elusive Goddess Nuwa playing cards here, but also Yuanshi Tianzun, who was making Tongtian's heart race, was sitting next to him, while opposite him, Taishang Laojun was holding a deck of cards with an expression as calm as if he were looking at a pill formula and was about to refine an elixir at any moment.

No, are you saints just bored out of your minds?

I don't think I caused any trouble for you guys!

besides………

Bai Ze immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap! What are you doing here?"

Nezha, forced to review his lessons while clutching the bamboo slips: I won't say who wanted to kill...

"I've already told you not to follow Lu Yu's bad example!!"

Ouyang Daddy! Who's the Ouyang Daddy here?

Bai Ze: ...Then, Little Zha Zha?

Suddenly, another familiar gaze gathered around Bai Ze, and he subconsciously looked over...

And there's also Lord Donghuang!!!

Looking at the dignified and elegant deity sitting on the cloud platform, even someone as clever as Bai Ze couldn't find an excuse to explain why he had encountered his own emperor here, who had originally asked for leave from the Demon Court to "cultivate in seclusion."

Goodness, everyone is playing cards seriously, but Shangqing Tongtian, who isn't playing cards, is still speaking up for Xiaolu!

Your Majesty, you and Lord Donghuang should really worry about your families!

Bai Ze's human form had only just entered his youthful state. Seeing this scene that shattered his beastly mentality, he could only put on a smile while inwardly cursing Di Ting for giving him this arduous task.

Although watching plays is enjoyable, he was afraid of losing his life if he watched a play about a saint!

Even though Yuanshi Tianzun no longer requires his disciples to carry the "Demon-Binding Lock" when they go down the mountain, he still feels uneasy when he sees it.

Di Ting, you're only fearless because you have another holy goddess backing you up, but I don't!

I treated you like a brother, and you kicked me into the ditch!

I'm furious!

……

"She's no longer in either world?"

Hearing the judgment made nervously by the all-knowing divine beast, the sages present did not feel offended.

"Then it's alright... They must have been taken to a small world..."

Laozi played a straight lightly, emptying his hand of cards. He exchanged a glance with Yuanshi Tianzun, who was about to play his next card, a subtle smile in his eyes.

Bai Ze, watching from the side, was also terrified:

Hey Hey hey……

Sage Taiqing... were you serious about that "you little brat, you dare to mess with me" look in your eyes?

Aren't you the founder of the Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions?

What happened to the promise of being indifferent to worldly affairs and seeing everything as dust?

Putting aside the fact that they're now playing the poker cards that Little Deer brought along with the whole prehistoric trend, just looking at their expressions, they seem quite lively.

"...No way! Big brother, do you even know where that world is? With Little Deer's mediocre skills, I can't trust her to go anywhere! You guys aren't worried, but I have to go and keep an eye on things!"

Tongtian glared at Donghuang Taiyi, seemingly still harboring resentment over Xiaolu's status as the third deity.

Although he already knew he wasn't, his second brother had been teaching him for so long, and yet he was taken advantage of like this, especially since the one who took advantage of him was this pretender!

Nezha, who was struggling to finish his homework, stood up when he heard that Lu Yu was missing: "I'm going too! I'm going too!"

Although Lu Yu might not be as brittle after soaking in the sun and water, that didn't stop him from wanting to skip his homework, as a friend who was worried about his best friend's safety.

"...Go where...?"

Seeing that he had lost, Yuanshi Tianzun reluctantly put down his cards and struck Nezha on the head with a bamboo stick.

"Have you finished your lessons? Can you draw the formation? Have you memorized the incantations?"

Nezha, who knows nothing and is still in debt: o(╥﹏╥)o

Nuwa sighed helplessly: "Master has already said that the place she is going to this time is not too dangerous. It can be considered a test to see if she has made any progress."

After all, Lu Yu was already an agent of three gods, and he still couldn't fully master many of his abilities. The dangers he was about to experience in that world weren't too severe, so it was a suitable transition point.

Moreover, Donghuang Taiyi had placed a safety net on Lu Yu. If the consciousness of that small world wanted to cause trouble and attack Lu Yu, they would have to wait for Donghuang's Chaos Bell to fall.

Tongtian: "Then how do we check on Xiaolu's safety now?"

Nezha was equally curious; he couldn't just rely on his feelings, could he?

Bai Ze, who always loves gossip, was also a little curious about Lu Yu's journey to another world, and boldly looked up at the sage.

Laozi said no more, and with a wave of his hand, a transparent light screen appeared in mid-air—

"This is the eye of wisdom that Master placed on Luo Hou, using the Demon Ancestor's perspective to help everyone see Fellow Daoist Lu Yu's upcoming journey..."

Then all the gods and beasts looked up...

Total darkness.

Tongtian: "Big brother, is this broken?"

Or is the Demon Ancestor still asleep?

Laozi was speechless at his own foolish younger brother, and simply said, "No rush."

Sure enough, the black light screen flickered a few times, and the next second, they saw it—

A white blob that is in free fall and constantly spurting blood.
