Chapter 573 Red Dragon's Reverse Scale
"Don't act rashly." Qi Mo raised his hand and pressed his shoulder. The Bagua Yao line flowed into Chi Yan's body along the contact point. "The structure of the 'domain' of the desolate planet is different from other worlds. Forcibly breaking through will only alert Cthulhu itself."
He turned to Emperor Fengdu and asked, "Where is the exact location of the Bagua formation diagram you discovered on the desolate planet last time?"
The Emperor of Fengdu traced a path on the projection with his fingertips. "At the deepest part of the rift, there's an upside-down temple, and the formation diagram is engraved on the dome. But..."
At this point, his voice suddenly deepened. "The temple is surrounded by Cthulhu's tentacles, each a kilometer thick and carrying a deadly poison that can corrode the godhead."
Su Mohui stared at the wriggling black tentacles in the projection. The fire swayed gently in her palm, and the flames instantly jumped half a meter high.
That was an instinctive reaction when encountering a natural enemy. If it weren't for the fear of burning Su Mohui, the fire might have risen two or three meters high.
She suddenly remembered that the system had mentioned that the Spark of Civilization could devour the power of the Censorate, so she continued, "Perhaps we can let the Spark test the tentacles' weaknesses first. I'll follow the Sacrificial Dragon into the passage, and you guys will meet me outside."
"No," Qi Mo and Emperor Fengdu said simultaneously. The lines between Qi Mo's brows tangled, while the latter immediately summoned the Book of Life and Death, saying, "Time on the Desolate Planet flows a hundred times faster than the outside world. A moment in your time there will be ten days in the outside world. There are too many variables."
The Red Flame Emperor suddenly grinned, and a red dragon phantom leaped out from his sleeve, holding a fiery red scale and landing in Su Mohui's palm: "Take it, it can burn a path through you at a critical moment."
He winked at Su Mohui and said, "Don't be afraid even if you are trapped. My red dragon can find you by following the fire."
Su Mohui watched the pulsing flames on the scales and suddenly felt that this fiery fire god was surprisingly reliable. She was just putting the scales into her space pendant when the system notification sounded in her sea of consciousness.
[Ding Dong! Obtained the item "Red Dragon's Reverse Scale"]
[Effect: Immune to corrosion from the tentacles of the Anti-Semitism, Use Times: 1/1]
Qi Mo's expression darkened instantly. He couldn't let Su Mohui take any more risks! Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes at Emperor Chi Yan.
Su Mohui noticed his emotions, pinched the corner of his clothes, and changed the subject, "There are only 34,900 of those top-grade jadeite stones left. Why don't I try to use them to awaken more true gods?"
"No." Qi Mo shook his head. The eight trigrams on his dragon robe lit up, and he said to her seriously, "Awakening of a true god requires the right time, place, and people. If you force it, it will only trigger a riot of the godhead. The most urgent task is to let Chun use Lingxu Sea as a base to build a faith network for all realms. At the same time—"
He was halfway through his words when he looked at the sacrificial dragon behind Xiang You Fuyao and asked, "Can the dragon clan's netherworld passage lead directly to the cracks on the desolate planet?"
"It's possible, but it requires the lifeblood of three sacrificial dragons." You Fuyao gently stroked the dragon horn on You Min's forehead. The scales on his neck were glowing with incantations. "But if we can use this to send the spark of civilization into the core of the desolate planet, we can burn Cthulhu's lair first."
"That's it!" Su Mohui suddenly stood up, and the fire automatically jumped to her palm, turning into a three-foot torch, with wisps of black smoke curling at the top of the flame. "I will go to the desolate planet with the Sacrificial Dragon. You all stay in the Lingxu Realm to guard the faith network. When the fire burns through the desolate planet, we will--"
"Wait." Qi Mo suddenly reached out and pulled her, gently shaking his head. The tassels on the crown swayed with his movements. "Don't go this time."
Su Mohui was puzzled and raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"
"You have to bring the divine banner of the Netherworld back to the Ninth Heaven and kick out that false god who is still absorbing the power of faith." Qi Mo shook her wrist like coaxing a child, a cunning glint in his eyes. "Besides, if the rear is unstable, how can the front line fight with peace of mind?"
She bit her lip and sighed, the torch shrinking to a small flame in her palm. "Okay, is there anything else you want me to do?"
"Just hold the rear." Qi Mo said, and he had already taken advantage of the system's authority. He clicked on her system backpack and called out the time mirror. The ink-colored hexagram lines flowing from his fingertips wrapped around it. "I've improved this mirror. It's a low-end Bagua mirror. It's enough to deal with false gods."
"Luckily, I locked this thing before, otherwise..." Qi Mo said, revealing a profiteer's smile, "When your props were reset, this mirror would have disappeared."
Looking at the lines that suddenly appeared on the mirror, Su Mohui's eyelids jumped: "So you have already locked onto this item? Last time when I cleared my backpack..."
"Shh-"
Qi Mo gestured towards her, his lips curled up in the arch of a profiteer's smile. "A smart girl doesn't ask for details. Besides," he tapped the mirror with his fingertips, "without this mirror, how can you keep an eye on what's going on on that desolate planet?"
Su Mohui rolled her eyes, but the fire suddenly jumped twice in her palm, as if agreeing with Qi Mo's words.
Reluctantly, she put the time mirror into the space pendant, and caught a glimpse of silver hair faintly visible beneath his crown. He clearly looked like Emperor Fuxi, but with a touch of Qi Mo's ruffian air.
"Don't do it again." She glared at him with feigned seriousness. "If you try to manipulate my system again, I'll send the Black and White Impermanence to mess with your divination."
"Don't worry," Qi Mo laughed, raising his hand to straighten her crooked cuffs. He suddenly lowered his voice, "After we defeat Cthulhu, I will personally be your system manager."
Su Mohui nodded in satisfaction, the fire transforming into a stream of light that penetrated her brow. Turning around, she caught a glimpse of Qi Mo, who was sitting solemnly, but his hands were fiddling with her system interface under the desk. She couldn't help but mutter, "Sure enough, we can't let this guy touch the system..."
"What are you talking about?" He twitched his ears slightly and raised his eyebrows to look at her.
"Nothing." She turned her head and looked away, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. No matter whether it was Qi Mo or Fuxi, this old fox was still the one who would help her out.
The Four Great Emperors were discussing with everyone when the Lingxu Realm suddenly shook. The divine light of the Five Emperors turned to a certain place at the same time. Everyone saw that ink-colored tentacles were oozing out of the void there.
And on each tentacle, there was a black mist of resentment that had not yet dissipated.
Emperor Zhuanxu's Xuanming Wheel began to turn first, and countless tiny spells quickly condensed in the ice crystal runes, then flew towards the tentacles and cut off some of them.
"It's a test from Cthulhu." Qi Mo said in a deep voice. He raised his hand and drew a spell in the air. The Bagua diagram instantly turned into a barrier, blocking the tentacles thousands of miles away. "It sensed the fluctuations of the return of the godhead."
Su Mohui looked at the eight trigrams on the corner of Qi Mo's robe, and suddenly felt that the Human Emperor in front of her and the guy who had betrayed her in her memory overlapped together -
