Repaying the Kindness
"Mu'er, let me take a look at your eye."
Granny Si stared at his eyes for a while and she didn't see Fu Riluo in this eye. She used a mirror to reflect, but there was still no trace of Fu Riluo. Seeing this, she finally became at ease and she instructed, "You can use this eye, but don't use your magic power. I will handle any danger we meet. After we meet Saint Woodcutter, you will still have to use this golden willow leaf to cover it up properly."
Qin Mu nodded his head and kept the golden willow leaf.
It was still his first time using the third eye in the middle of his brows to observe the world. He looked around curiously. The world as seen by this eye was somewhat different from what he saw with his two normal eyes.
When his two normal eyes looked at divine arts practitioners, they would see the outer appearance. On the other hand, everything became strange in the vision of his third eye.
When he looked at Granny Si—other than seeing her outer appearance—he could even clearly see her divine treasures and even her primordial spirit.
The most terrifying thing was when Qin Mu saw Granny Si's primordial spirit, he actually felt that it was delicious. There was a pang of hunger—he really wanted to eat her primordial spirit!
He didn't know where this feeling was coming from, but he felt his stomach was rumbling with hunger. He had this terrifying desire to just grab Granny Si's primordial spirit out from her body and devour it!
The starvation was alarmingly real. This made him have an urge to devour everything!
When they were in the ruins of Without Embroiling City, he opened his third eye for the first time and Earth Count appeared to smack his jade pendant into his third eye. Mute, Blind, and the rest then forged the golden willow leaf to seal this eye. Therefore, he didn't feel any difference.
Now, after opening his third eye, only then did he notice the difference and peculiarity.
'Is it this eye's problem? Or is Luofu Heaven the one causing this strange feeling?'
Qin Mu suppressed his urge to eat Granny Si's primordial spirit as he fell deep in his thoughts.
'Luofu Heaven shouldn't be the one causing this. Luofu Heaven is a world of the devils. Even if there's a problem, it should only be with the devil qi. The devil qi wouldn't make me feel hungry, so this problem still lies in this eye. Strange, why would I feel hunger when this eye opens?'
He was puzzled and could only put this question aside. He followed Granny Si to head towards the closest sacrificial altar.
Saint Woodcutter and the twenty-four gods had constructed numerous tall pyramid sacrificial altars to sacrifice Supreme Emperor Heaven, forcing Fu Riluo to stop the war. To prevent the sacrificial altars from being destroyed, Saint Woodcutter would definitely protect these sacrificial altars. Before these altars could be destroyed, Fu Riluo and the rest would also not make a move and clash with Supreme Emperor Heaven.
Heading to the sacrificial altars to find Saint Woodcutter was the best decision.
Qin Mu looked around him. What he saw was basically the same as the Luofu Heaven Fu Riluo showed him. It was even more treacherous!
Huge planets moved above Luofu Heaven and the magnetic force of the planets was disrupting with Luofu Heaven's magnetic force, causing the ground to quake violently. The magnitude to the earthquake was so terrifying that it caused volcanoes to erupt. Also, the speed of the storm was even greater by dozens of times!
The gales were like blades and seemed to be spirit weapons with the strongest power. They blew past everywhere. Even volcanoes that had just risen were turned into powder under the sharp gusts!
The most terrifying thing was still the ocean. Waves that reached the sky were moving at a terrifyingly high speed. On top of that, the speed of the waves had surpassed the speed of sound, destroying everything in its path!
Earthquakes, gales, waves, and volcanoes—earth, water, wind, and fire. These elements had made Luofu Heaven unsuitable for any lifeforms.
As a result, the space had become unstable too—this place was that frightening. The shattered space formed a long and narrow crack between heaven and earth. Like mirrors without any substance, they reflected sights that were either near or far.
These space cracks were either so long that one couldn't see the end of them, or they were very short, being only two to three feet. Because they had no substance and they appeared even with the ground, they were very difficult to notice. Therefore, every step had to be very careful.
If one were to pass through a crack in space by accident, they would most likely be split cleanly into two halves!
The space was too sharp. One wouldn't probably realize they were already dead after being sliced.
Qin Mu and Granny Si were defending themselves against the huge waves that were rushing over. They saw a huge wave that was over ten thousand feet being sliced apart by an astonishing space crack—it split the wave into two halves!
Stars flashed in front and behind Granny Si, forming Great Overarching Heavenly Stars Forcefield. She used the forcefield to sense the dangers in her surroundings. At the same time, the forcefield could defend against the dangers of Luofu Heaven.
Granny Si was already an existence who had entered god realm. Even though Luofu Heaven was dangerous, it still wasn't a threat to her life.
Qin Mu looked around—he looked at this place that was as terrifying as hell. There were countless souls floating around and those were the souls of Luofu Heaven's devils that had died. Seeing them, Qin Mu became even more ravenous—his appetite became even more huge.
Without any delay, he controlled his desire to devour those souls. He felt fear. 'What monster did this eye turn me into...'
Right at this moment, on the barren plains in front of them, they saw a huge corpse of a devil god lying face down in the middle of a storm. No matter how the strong the storm was, it was unable to move the corpse at all.
They came in front of him and saw that even when the corpse was lying on the ground, it was still over a hundred yards tall. This corpse had wings, which had also turned into bones, and his four hooves were like huge bull hooves—they were golden and shining.
Not only that, Qin Mu even saw glowing divine treasures in the body of this devil god. There were sun, moon, stars, and even land inside.
Unfortunately, the divine treasures were already destroyed and the land was submerged in water.
Qin Mu and Granny Si entered from a hole in the divine treasure. Once inside, they saw the water had already submerged the entire land in the divine treasures. Even the sun, moon, and stars in the sky were broken and scattered around.
What was even stranger was that there were even houses in that land. The numerous houses were already submerged under the water.
"This was once a refugee camp of the devil race. Looks like it was only destroyed several hundred years ago."
Granny Si was astonished and she pondered. "Could it be that after the disaster of Luofu Heaven, some devil gods were willing to sacrifice their corporeal body for the devil lifeforms to live in their own divine treasures?"
Qin Mu used his third eye to look around. In a place far away, above the broken galaxy, there was a devil god celestial palace that was already dilapidated.
In the Divine Bridge Divine Treasure of this devil god, a flying bridge was connected to the devil celestial palace.
He could faintly see that there was a soul in the devil celestial palace. It stood there alone and seemed to be in sorrow.
He had an urge to fly over and eat this sorrowful soul, but his inner heart could no longer feel hunger. Instead, his heart was filled with respect.
This devil god only had his soul left.
He had let out his divine treasures for his clansmen to reside in—to protect the lives of his clansmen—but his corporeal body couldn't also defend against the natural disasters. His corporeal body died as well.
His clansmen might have lived in his divine treasure for a long time, but in the end, his divine treasures were also broken through by the natural disasters.
"He had exhausted his primordial spirit and only his soul remains. However, his clansmen had still died. His soul must have been standing here for a few hundred years already..."
Qin Mu looked around and his third eye could see numerous wandering souls. They were the devil commoners that had died in the divine treasures of this god. The messenger of death didn't come here.
Qin Mu looked towards the Life and Death Divine Treasure of this devil god. It had already been destroyed by this devil god, so that was probably the reason why the souls of these devil commoners were trapped here.
"Every race has inspiring and tragic figures."
Qin Mu closed the eye on the heart of his brows. He felt disgusted at his thoughts of wanting to eat these souls.
This was definitely not his idea!
It was definitely not his subconsciousness!
He couldn't have such an evil subconsciousness!
'No matter what this thing is that's affecting my thoughts, you disgust me!'
Qin Mu opened his eye and turned around. Youdu language came from his mouth and a Gate of Heaven Influence rose behind him. The gate opened wide and, this time, he didn't execute Soul Guide. He changed the divine art instead.
He wanted to send these spirits of the devil race to Youdu.
In the divine treasures of the devil god, waves of cold wind blew and went into Gate of Heaven Influence, flying into the darkness.
On the other side of Gate of Heaven Influence, numerous small boats sailed over and fetched the spirits. Not long after, the cold wind stopped and a lantern shone its light over Qin Mu's face.
"It is you. You actually didn't cause any trouble?" In the gate, the voice of Elder Messenger of Death was heard. He sounded astonished.
Qin Mu waved his hand and closed Gate of Heaven Influence. "Granny, let's go."2
Granny Si nodded gently and looked at him. She said with an expression full of gratification, "Mu'er has really grown up."
Just as they were about to leave, a feeble voice was suddenly heard from a place far away. "Thank you..."
Qin Mu heard this and he was slightly stunned. He turned his head and saw that the soul of that devil god was currently crumbling and dispersing in the devil celestial palace. The majestic palace was also crumbling rapidly and stars were being wiped out one after another.
"Mu'er, there's no need to look anymore, his soul has already dispersed."
Granny Si held his hand and brought him out of the divine treasures quickly. "The wish of this devil god wasn't fulfilled, so his soul didn't disperse. Otherwise, his soul would have long turned into dust. When his soul disperses, his divine treasures will also crumble!"
Just as they rushed out, a heart-stopping shockwave came from behind. The divine treasures were obliterated in the rumbles and violent explosions swept out in all directions!
Granny Si hurriedly brought Qin Mu to escape far away. The shockwave from the explosions came assaulting over, throwing them both high up!
Granny Si tried her best to spread open Great Overarching Heavenly Stars Forcefield to protect Qin Mu. At this moment, a beam of black light flew out from the destruction and broke through Great Overarching Heavenly Stars Forcefield, moving like a flood dragon!
"Mu'er helped you and sent the souls of your people to Youdu, yet you still dare to harm him?"
Granny Si was furious and was about to make a move when that beam of black light circled around behind Qin Mu's head. It then transformed into a black glow. In the center of the black glow, there were lines of intense red light which formed a red circle, as though it was a blood-colored devil moon.
Qin Mu turned to look behind him, but he couldn't see this devil moon.
He quickly took out a mirror to reflect the back of his head. He saw the devil moon slowly swirling behind him. In the black glow, there were countless devil writings that were continuously changing and flowing.
Granny Si's anger turned into joy as she said, "At least you still have a conscience. Mu'er, this devil moon is transformed from the remaining energy in that devil god's divine treasures. He used it to repay you. This thing is not bad. It can help you increase the cultivation of your devil path."
Qin Mu immediately felt the appearance of this devil moon, his devil vitality increasing rapidly. It might be assumed that he would be able to break through Seven Star Divine Treasure in one go!
"Granny, that devil god's soul should have seen that I'm a human, so why did he still help me?" Qin Mu was puzzled as he asked.
Granny Si walked towards the sacrificial altars in the distance. She threw the question back at him. "You are clearly a human, so why did you help the spirits of those devils, sending them to Youdu?"
Qin Mu was slightly stunned.
Granny Si said with a smile, "You have the heart of a newborn child and he also knows how to repay kindness. There are also heroes in the devil race. Likewise, there are also people worthy of respect."
