Chapter 1264: Slipping Through the Net
The family that had jurisdiction over this planet was called Zhen Yi (True Yi).
According to the rules of the Lineage of Gods in the fourth star ring, only clans that had produced a True God could add this honor to receive the word "true".
In the memory of the butterfly god, the Zhen Yi Clan's jurisdiction was not only limited to this planet, but also the vast nebula outside and several surrounding universes.
All of them were owned by this family.
Originally, all of this should be eternal. After all, even if a True God fell, he would return. Therefore, before a new True God appeared, the jurisdiction would remain unchanged!
However, this family had an accident!
Their True God was suspected to have fallen many years ago, and he had not returned yet!
As time passed, the consequences of this matter gradually became apparent. The Zhen Yi Clan could no longer suppress the other clans under their jurisdiction!
As a result, they could only gradually reduce the scope. Until now, only this planet and a few dozen nearby planets could still listen to their summons!
It was not common for a True God to not return, but it was not unheard of!
Generally speaking, most of them would be stopped in the process of returning, resulting in accidents!
Xu Qing had personally participated in similar incidents. In the beginning, he had also been a bait.
Back then, the Jade Crystal Dust had been used to bait a True God who was about to return!
"Therefore, the secret of return is not perfect. As time passes, as more and more gods and cultivators explore it, some of its glory is only in the past!"
The butterfly that Xu Qing transformed into danced in the sky, getting closer and closer to the 360 jade rings!
He could already feel that a large number of gods were gathering in the 36th ring!
That was the place where the Zhen Yi Clan, whose jurisdiction had been severely reduced, was recruited!
It was also where Xu Qing could rely on the Mud Fox's secret technique to blend in with the mixed aura.
"I hope the Mud Fox's secret technique works."
The moment he arrived, the jade light shrouded him, and a divine aura descended. Xu Qing did not stop at all. He flapped his wings and flew in!
The next moment, he entered the ring!
It was a boundless jade color, as if it was dyed nothingness. Only a huge scroll painting had been opened in the middle, spreading out to both sides!
It was difficult to see what it was!
He could only vaguely see that it seemed to have many forms!
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. This painting gave him a strange feeling, so he took a closer look!
Soon, he saw that something was wrong. While he was in a daze, he was also touched!
"This painting!"
This painting could not be described as abstract, because only things that could not be understood would be described with this word!
In truth, with Xu Qing's mental state and cultivation, this was shockingly a diagram of the heavens and the earth in his eyes, and it was a world formed from it!
It was just that … all the three-dimensional faces of all living beings in the world were drawn on the canvas!
In this way, at first glance, it was naturally dense, strange, distorted, and abstract!
"This object is definitely not something that a God Altar god can possess. It should be an object at the level of a True God, and this is the manifestation of what's inside it!
Could it be that the pressure of a god can cause the surrounding to distort? "
Xu Qing's heart was filled with curiosity. In a flash, he was about to approach the painting!
However, in the blink of an eye, streams of Divine Sense swept out from the world inside the painting!
There were hundreds of gods, including True Fire and Flawless gods, and some God Altars.
And some of them caught Xu Qing's attention!
One of them was an evil eye made of rusty blue steel!!
The pupil of this eye was a bronze bell. Outside the pupil, star sand flowed, and there were tentacles floating around. At the end of the tentacles, there were suction cups in the shape of Buddha's palms!
As it breathed in and out, the pupil contracted, and the chimes inside were rung, emitting a godly sound that made people go crazy!
There was another god that was even stranger. It was a shriveled old woman. Her body was naked, and her skin was full of cracks. There were 36,000 human-faced stars flowing under her skin!
Her withered hair floated in the air, and behind her, there were tens of thousands of floating ancient corpses. Each corpse was chanting the burial scriptures of different epochs!
There was another god that was white and withered. The left half of his body was blooming with begonia flowers, and the right half of his body was peeling off like charred wood. Nine bronze soul lamps floated in his chest, and in the flames of the lamps, there were drowning souls!
His left foot stepped on Ice Aeon, and his right foot was stuck in the core of a blazing star!
This god attracted Xu Qing's attention the most!
He felt a divine authority from this god that was similar to his own!
This caused Xu Qing's mind to focus. At the same time, he knew that most of these gods didn't come from this planet, so what they were displaying now was their divine image!
This was also a way for gods to determine each other's status, similar to how cultivators fought with their dao intent!
"This opportunity …"
Xu Qing's heart stirred, and the mud fox understood. Both sides used this opportunity to display their divine images to use a secret technique to merge with the outside world!
In the next moment, Xu Qing's body flickered, and his butterfly form changed. The butterfly wings suddenly spread out!
The butterfly wings that spread out were like a wheel of reincarnation. Each scale was woven from the skin of an unknown creature, and a crimson light flowed through them, guiding the surrounding void!
In particular, his front wings were inlaid with 96,000 compound eyes, and each pupil reflected lightning. At this moment, as he flapped his wings, they resonated with the cries of souls!
This was a response to all the gods that swept over with their divine senses!
What was even stranger was that the butterfly that Xu Qing had transformed into had two butterfly feelers wrapped around a scarlet river, and at the end of the feelers, there were rusty lamps hanging from them!
He flew straight to the scroll!
The butterfly wings flapped as if they were in accordance with the rhythm of the calamity. The left wing raised a tide of annihilation, and the right wing sprinkled the path of absolute beginning. As for the scale powder that fell along the way, one could see thousands of scaled bulls worshipping!
This was the divine image of the butterfly that Xu Qing had possessed.
Immediately, those that swept over with their divine senses revealed looks of awe. As for the gods that Xu Qing had stared at, they retracted their auras!
They allowed the butterfly that Xu Qing had transformed into to fall into the scroll and hover in an empty space!
At the same time, a divine voice echoed!
"Eternal Calamity Hell Butterfly."
"After not seeing you for a hundred years, you are not far from breaking through to the next realm!"
This godly sound came from the shattering of the scroll. Following that, the scroll shattered.
Along with the voice, a huge black lotus slowly rose!
Inside the black lotus, there was a dwarf sitting upright. This dwarf's body was pitch-black, and 360 ancient sloughs surrounded him. Each of them emitted a powerful aura!
In between his eyebrows, there was a speck of golden sand. That was the solidified blood of a true god!
His eyes reflected a jade halo, and he was playing with a scale in his hand. At this moment, the voice that came out shook the entire scroll, causing the gods in the scroll to lower their heads!
This was the god of the Zhen Yi family that governed this planet!
Xu Qing had seen the god in front of him from the butterfly god's knowledge. He knew that the other party was this generation's True Yi, and at the same time, he was the initiator of this recruitment!
Therefore, Xu Qing lowered his head slightly to show respect!
The dwarf nodded slightly and did not speak anymore. Instead, he closed his eyes and meditated on the black lotus!
The surroundings also quieted down. The gods were all waiting!
Xu Qing also retracted his divine image, but his aura had already fused with the surroundings by using a secret technique that he and the mud fox had used at the same time!
Maintaining this state, Xu Qing was also waiting for time to pass!
Soon, three days passed!
It was getting closer and closer to the appointed day. In these three days, dozens of gods arrived. Most of them were recruited from other planets, but there were also a few who, like the butterfly god that Xu Qing had transformed into, belonged to this planet!
For example, the lightning that humans worshiped, and the gods formed from the burning fungus!
At the same time, in these three days, the divine senses of the True Gods from the outside world appeared several times!
The most time was when the divine senses of three True Gods jointly probed!
Under Xu Qing's vigilance, the mud fox's method worked. The divine senses probed this place and did not see through Xu Qing's concealment!
As for the other gods here, they seemed to be used to the frequent searches of the True Gods, so they did not have much of a reaction!
"As long as there aren't more than five True Gods probing, this secret technique can conceal me. In another two days, when these gods leave, it will be the time for me to leave!"
Xu Qing muttered to himself!
The last two days seemed to pass more slowly than before as Xu Qing waited. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Although there were True Gods probing, they did not exceed the limit of Xu Qing's concealment!
Just like that, the appointed day arrived!
The moment the time was up, all the gods here released their auras. The dwarf sitting cross-legged on the black lotus opened his eyes and waved his hand!
Immediately, the black stones scattered and landed in front of the gods. These gods used their own methods to collect the stones!
Xu Qing also picked them up. The moment he touched them, he knew that they contained the Godhead Seal of a True God. They were not of much use to him, but to the gods, they would be helpful when they broke through to the next realm!
"Everyone, these are the promised True God Stones!"
"After this exploration of the Mystic Realm, the remaining True God Stones have been prepared!"
"Now, let's set off."
The golden blood between the dwarf's eyebrows suddenly shone and turned into a golden light that dyed the emerald halo in his eyes. It appeared in the outside world and emitted waves of teleportation!
Then, a god flew out and headed straight for the halo, disappearing in an instant!
As the gods left one after another, Xu Qing was about to launch the escape plan he had prepared in advance. However, at this moment, a scene that made Xu Qing feel an intense sense of danger appeared!
In the starry sky, a vast True God's Divine Sense roared like the sea, sweeping across the nebula where the stars were. There were more than ten True Gods in it.
The moment he sensed it, Xu Qing's pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat!
He was well aware that as long as he was swept by it this time, his concealment would definitely be exposed!
Therefore, at this critical moment, he did not hesitate and decisively gave up on the idea of leaving. His body flickered, and he headed straight for the halo in front of him!
He disappeared in an instant!
