Chapter 321 Ladder to Heaven
Chapter 321 Ladder to Heaven
Fang Ke is a liar, at least at this moment, she deceived the "Xiu" in front of her.
After Xiu left in a panic, the worried and distressed expression on Fang Ke's face faded away by half, and he slowly calmed down and became cold.
Fang Ke took out the crystal ball and chanted a spell. The seal of the crystal ball had been removed by Xie Xiu, and she easily took Xiao Qi out.
As soon as the purple energy left the crystal ball, it immediately ran around everywhere, as if it had been locked up for too long and had become confused and disoriented. It didn't know where it was or when, nor did it know who was in front of it.
Fortunately, Fang Ke had implemented a space blockade in advance. She called out to the system that was running around, "Xiao Qi."
The energy was stunned for a moment, then heard Fang Ke say, "I'm here."
Then Xiao Qi finally found the direction, turned around and stabbed her between the eyebrows.
Fang was hit by energy. After a long time, the system restarted and rebinded. She checked around and stopped when she saw that no props or skills had dropped.
"Xiao Qi, are you okay?"
"Owner……"
Xiao Qi's voice was hoarse and weak, with a sad laugh, "I almost blew myself up..."
Fang Ke frowned, "What did he do to you?"
Xiao Qi said slowly, "He threw me into his spiritual sea and forged me for three years... I was almost assimilated and devoured by him..."
Xiao Qi's voice turned fierce, "He doesn't know that I have a self-destruct program. Once that moment comes, I will definitely die with him."
Fang Ke didn't say anything. After a long while, he soothed her, "You're glad you're back. Take a good rest. We have a tough battle ahead."
Xiao Qi had probably never suffered this kind of hardship before, and her disgust towards Xie Xiu reached its peak. She asked, "Master, do you have any countermeasures?"
Xiao Qi endured it for a moment and said, "Master, we've been in this world for too long, but we haven't made any progress. If we continue like this, we'll be killed by the Lord God in this world! Master, how can you endure this? We need to take the initiative and can't wait any longer."
Fang Ke followed her words and said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan."
Xiao Qi said, "Okay, Master... I believe in you. I'm waiting for your plan. Please don't let me down..."
Fang Ke brought up the key words, "What's that self-explosion you mentioned? Are you calm now?"
Xiao Qi sneered, "Although it can't compare to the power of a planetary explosion, at least it has the power of an atomic bomb... This is the last means of survival God gave me. He is afraid that I will fall into the hands of the enemy, so he would rather let me destroy everything."
Fang Ke was surprised and narrowed his eyes slightly. It seems that... Xie Xiu was right. Parasitic energy itself is a danger.
If this system really self-destructs, she will probably be destroyed along with it.
But there was nothing that could be done about the rebinding. After all, Fang Ke couldn't stay in this world forever.
Fang Ke finally said, "Don't worry, Xiao Qi, Master, I will never let you go that far."
"Just rest and recuperate, and leave the rest to me, okay?"
"Master...thank you...have you really thought about what to do?"
Fang Ke chuckled, "Well... I've decided for Xie Xiu: this world doesn't need the existence of gods."
Three days later, the bishop came to see Fang Ke again. By then, Fang Ke had recovered from his illness and was sitting in a trance in the pavilion in the temple's garden.
After he came in, a barrier naturally formed around him.
Fang Ke turned around and saw Xiu approaching with a sullen face. She bowed slightly and asked, "Sir, have you made up your mind to come see me?"
Xiu didn't say anything, but walked to the front of her sight with his hands behind his back.
"Philomena, can I trust you?"
Fang Ke raised an eyebrow from an angle he couldn't see, but the words that came out of his mouth were very pleasant to the ear, "Having said this, my Lord, you have already made your own judgment, right?"
Xiu scoffed, "Sharp-tongued."
He turned around, and the other party confirmed, "You said you wanted to be my sword."
"Yes, my lord."
"Then go to the Frigid North and retrieve the fine steel ebony that has been soaked in weak water for a thousand years. Only ebony soaked in weak water can pierce a god's body. Are you willing to go and retrieve it?"
Fang Ke was slightly stunned. "My Lord, are you talking about a legend, or is it true... You won't make me come here in vain, right?"
Xiu couldn't help but sneer, "Are you questioning me again?"
Fang Ke smiled and said, "No, I was just wondering if you'll have enough time."
Xiu was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed. "What do you mean?"
"It seems that my lord still doesn't trust me. Isn't it true that the Heavenly Stage will appear in a year? This is the only time we can ascend to the Heavenly Palace. Do you still want to wait another hundred years?"
Fang Ke's smile deepened. "Your Excellency has a long life span, so he can probably wait. But I can't wait until that time."
Xiu's expression changed several times, and finally became ugly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? A body that has been baptized and forged by divine power is practically immortal."
Fang Ke acted surprised, "Oh? Is that so?"
Xiu felt that if he said a few more words to Fang Ke now, he would get angry.
"When did you know about the existence of the ladder? I never told you."
Fang Ke said, "I probably read the rubbings in the library or in the Forest of Elves. I can't remember."
She was obviously lying. Xiu looked at her coldly for a long time, but ultimately didn't argue with her.
"Since you already know everything, I have nothing to hide from you. Go ahead, Philomena. When you retrieve the ebony, that will be the time for us to attack the Heavenly Palace."
Fang Ke accepted the order, "I just heard that the extremely cold northern border is extremely dangerous, please escort me, sir."
Xiu waved his sleeves and said, "I will send the most outstanding knights and priests to escort you all the way there, but this ebony can only be picked by you yourself. The prophecy says that only the destined one can cross the weak water without being corroded into bones."
Fang Ke pondered, "What if the prophecy is wrong?"
"That only proves that you are not the destined one. Even if you pass all the tests and still can't get the ebony, you are still not that person."
Fang Ke smiled subtly, "You are so cruel, sir."
"..."
"That's all, let me know when you decide on a departure time. I'll be taking my leave now."
Fang Ke was about to leave when Xiu grabbed his shoulder and said, "Wait a moment."
Fang Ke didn't look back, "I'm about to die for you, sir. Can you please let me have some time to relax?"
"..."
Xiu turned her around and frowned. "You keep saying 'die' on the left and 'die' on the right. Philomena, you're a priestess now. Don't you know that words can cause disaster?"
"Who told me to be pessimistic?"
Xiu looked at her rebellious eyes, which was the most vivid moment in the past few years, and his heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly lowered his long eyelashes, lifted Fang Ke's snow-white wrist, and bit it again hard on the place where he had left the mark a few days ago.
A strong force surged over Fang Ke, and she almost collapsed instantly, but he reached out and held her in his arms.
The power of this cultivator is not black, but a white energy, which makes it difficult to tell what element it is.
It is a mixture of all elements, and finally it is integrated into white energy.
After he finished his divine bestowal, he paused for a long time.
Below the cross on Fang Ke's wrist, a winding red mark appeared, a bit like a coiled snake.
"what is this?"
"Substitution spell."
