" Maple Moon Divine Lord, wake up! War God Blazing Sun God of War has returned victorious from the Demon Abyss. If you keep sleeping, all the gods in the Maple Moon Divine Palace will be doomed!"
" Maple Moon Divine Lord, wake up..."
" Maple Moon Divine Lord..."
In his drowsy state, Shang Shujue felt someone constantly murmuring in his ear. He didn't know what they were saying, but upon closer listening, it seemed to be calling for some deity. Was it calling him? He didn't know; he just felt incredibly tired and sleepy.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but the sound finally stopped, and everything around him became extremely quiet. The next second, his body was enveloped in a warm embrace.
The embrace was warm, and it seemed to smell of sunshine. He felt very comfortable and couldn't help but rub his cheek against the warm spot. Then, warm fingers pinched his cheek. He didn't even bother to see who it was and slept even more soundly.
An hour later, Shang Shujue finally opened his eyes. When he saw the dreamlike, fairyland-like scene before him, he was stunned for a moment. In a daze, he remembered that this place seemed to be his temple, where he had lived for many years.
"Finally decided to wake up?"
Shang Shujue heard a deep, sexy voice above her head and subconsciously looked over, only to see a figure dressed in a dark gold divine robe, with half of his dark hair pulled back...
Song Yanqing, who was drinking from a wine glass in one hand and gently stroking his back with the other, was stunned for a moment. In a daze, he remembered that he seemed to be the Blazing Sun God of War, his divine partner.
Shang Shujue was somewhat dazed. What divine partner? Then his thoughts drifted away from Maple Moon Divine Lord, hovering in mid-air. It took him a long time to realize who he was and that this was not the mortal world.
"When did you get back?" Maple Moon Divine Lord looked at Blazing Sun God of War, smiled, and rushed over to him, asking in a coquettish tone, "Have you resolved the matter in the Demon Abyss?"
"I returned half an hour ago. The matter has been resolved. The Lord of the Demon Abyss and the Divine Realm have reached a million-year peace treaty, during which the two realms can trade freely."
The Blazing Sun God of War Ri first told the Maple Moon Divine Lord about the outcome of his battle against the Demon Abyss, then put down his wine cup, pulled the Maple Moon Divine Lord into his arms, and pinched his side as if punishing him.
"A certain deity told me before I left that he would wait for my triumphant return at the Southern Heavenly Gate, but when I came back, you were still sleeping in the temple. When did you get so sleepy?"
"Ouch~ It itches! Stop it, I'm sorry, okay? I went to Southern Heavenly Gate every day before, but you never came back."
"I was finally feeling a bit sleepy today, but I overslept... Don't be mad at me, I'll show you something..."
Shang Shujue watched from the side and saw Maple Moon Divine Lord suddenly take out two glass-like crystal balls. Inside the balls were two kinds of gas, one red and one blue. Shang Shujue felt a sense of familiarity with the red gas, and his intuition told him that it was the Breath of Luck...
"Look! This spirit orb containing red Breath of Luck represents me, and this spirit orb containing blue Breath of Luck represents you."
Maple Moon Divine Lord's words confirmed Shang Shujue's conjecture; it was indeed the Breath of Luck. But how did he know this? And why was he here?
"I'll link their destinies and send them to the human realm to see if they'll be with us like we are. Do you want to give it a try?"
The Blazing Sun God of War, raised an eyebrow slightly, then nodded. "Alright, let's give it a try."
Then, they each contributed a sliver of their essence and blood to send the spirit pearl to the lower realm. Shang Shujue followed the red Breath of Luck and witnessed his life from birth to death in his previous life.
"Where exactly is this place...?"
After reviewing his entire life, Shang Shujue couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions, especially the uncontrollable racing heartbeats he experienced every time he encountered Song Yanqing, yet he struggled to suppress his dislike for him. This made him feel very uneasy...
After he finished watching himself being thrown three meters away by a car, his body shattered into pieces, the image broke, and he found himself in a vast, white space. There was nothing there, nothing but aimless whiteness.
He walked forward unconsciously, and after an unknown amount of time, many bubbles suddenly appeared around him. These bubbles seemed to hold secrets.
Shang Shujue reached out, about to pop a bubble, when suddenly his body was pulled back by a powerful force. A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and then he lost consciousness...
When Shang Shujue regained consciousness, he was no longer in those bizarre dreams. He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was an unfamiliar environment and his right hand, which was chained. He was stunned and struggled.
"Damn it, who tied me up?!"
Shang Shujue tugged at the chain but found it impossible to open. He then tried to pry open the iron ring on his wrist, rubbing his wrist until it was red and raw, but to no avail; he simply couldn't open it.
" A-Jue, don't move! Your hand is bleeding..."
As soon as Su Youchuan entered the room, he saw Shang Shujue frantically breaking free of his chains, refusing to give up even as his wrists bled. He immediately put down the tray he was holding and rushed over to grab Shang Shujue's hand.
" Su Youchuan —it was you! Don't touch me! What did you do to me? Untie me right now!"
Upon seeing Su Youchuan, Shang Shujue instinctively pulled her hand back and grabbed the hem of her clothes to wipe the area that had been touched. This action naturally provoked Su Youchuan.
You think I'm disgusting, don't you?
Su Youchuan's eyes were bloodshot. He rushed over like a madman, grabbed both of his hands, and sneered.
"Since that's the case, then I don't need to care about gentlemanly conduct anymore. Perhaps it's better for you to hate me than to ignore me!"
" Su Youchuan! You've gone mad!"
"I've gone mad!" Su Youchuan interrupted Shang Shujue, not a single word he uttered was pleasing to the ear. "I was already planning to let go, but you barged into my house without a word and even fainted in my room."
"When I woke up, I thought I was dreaming. I never imagined it really was you! You came here all by yourself! You've come so close, where do you think you're going?!"
"..."
Damn it! Wasn't time supposed to stand still? How did this madman manage to catch him? Where's Nuomi? Where did he go? Why hasn't he made a sound?! My Merit Points and points are all... wait! How did my Merit Points and points become full?!
When Shang Shujue checked his points and Merit Points, he was almost stunned. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and purchased the items, psychedelic incense and a substitute doll.
He was instantly freed from his bound and imprisoned fate, while the puppet that replaced him was given a solid kiss by Su Youchuan and stripped naked.
Hey~ Run, run!
Shang Shujue stuck the Divine Movement Talisman on his leg, turned around and ran away like the wind. Shortly after he left, the faint light hiding in the corner instantly merged into the substitute doll, and under the faint light, Su Youchuan and the substitute doll disappeared together.
The next second, a person who looked exactly like Su Youchuan walked into the room from outside. He looked around the room and then his gaze fell on the hallucinogenic incense.
He then turned and walked to the bedside. With a wave of his hand, the hallucinogenic incense dissipated. He sat down, reached out and picked up the chains on the bed. When he touched the bloodstains on the chains, his skin instantly developed corrosive wounds. He paused, then narrowed his eyes.
That person just now... was actually born from the Breath of Luck of the Maple Moon Divine Lord... Heh, this little world is getting more and more interesting...
