Absolute loyalty

Yinglong's ability to know Yu Guo's identity was not due to any particular wisdom or cunning.

Rather, it was because the owner of that voice revealed their identity immediately upon waking up.

Furthermore, Yu emphasized that he must not tell Xuansu Shi about his awakening.

If necessary, you can even tell Deception Rabbit, but you must never let Xuansu Shi know that you have awakened.

Yinglong was initially quite averse to force.

Because he simply couldn't understand why Yu Guo was so wary of Xuansu Shi.

According to what he knew, Xuansu Shi was a subject of Yu Guo, and a loyal one at that, a subordinate who would sacrifice everything for him.

Why did Yu Guo prefer to believe Deception Rabbit rather than Xuansu Shi?

After much deliberation, Yu finally revealed the somewhat cruel truth to Yinglong.

Yu Guo was so wary of Xuansu Shi not because the other party might betray him.

On the contrary, it was precisely because Xuansu Shi was so loyal that Yu Guo dared not let her know of his existence.

[If your mother knew I was living inside you...]

[She will definitely sacrifice you, and then use your body to allow me to be reborn.]

These were Yu Guo's original words, and it was also the first time Yinglong realized how cruel his seemingly gentle mother was.

Yinglong was born merely as a tool to carry the [Red Eye Cauldron].

To protect the [Red Eye Cauldron] left by Yu Guo, Xuansu Shi was willing to risk her own life. How could she possibly care about a child who was born as a tool?

At the very least, Yinglong didn't want to gamble on the weight of family ties in his mother's heart.

After all, regardless of the outcome, Yinglong is the biggest loser.

In contrast, it was his father, who had always seemed unreliable, who surprisingly put Yinglong at ease in this respect.

Yinglong knew that Deception Rabbit was unreliable, and that it was simply a problem with the other party's personality.

When it comes to how much he values his family and how much he loves him, Yinglong never doubts his partner on these issues.

The series of events that occurred before its birth were enough to prove the nature of the Deception Rabbit.

"So, who was it that secretly contacted my mother during the day?"

"Was he one of your former subordinates?"

"Or is he an enemy of the Red Eye Cauldron '?"

"You told me to deliberately avoid my mother, but where are you taking me?"

With a touch of youthful recklessness, Yinglong rapidly changed his form while speaking in a low voice to Yu.

During this process, Yinglong will constantly transform into different animal forms depending on the changes in water level and terrain.

Swordfish in the water, Earth Dragon in the soil, cheetahs in the mountains, monkeys in the trees, eagles in the sky—

Compared to the Deception Rabbit, which had already developed the [Thousand Transformations Divine Ability] to its fullest extent.

Yinglong is clearly not yet capable of combining the advantages of multiple creatures into one, transforming into a monster similar to a griffin or a chimera.

However, compared to his initial naivety when he first awakened the [Thousand Transformations Divine Ability] ability Yinglong has now clearly mastered various animal forms, capable of changing into a thousand different shapes and ten thousand different appearances at will.

[The one who secretly contacts your mother during the day isn't my god...]

Watching Yinglong's masterful application of the [Thousand Transformations Divine Ability], Yu Guo remained silent for a long time before speaking again.

[I am the God of the East Sea, but before becoming the God of the East Sea, I was also the first Gong Gong of the Great Xia Dynasty.]

[Before I entrusted the Red Eye Cauldron to your mother, she was the bridge through which I directly contacted and communicated with the current Gong Gong.]

Therefore, although your mother is my subordinate deity, she is also nominally a secret subject of the current Gong Gong.

[Theoretically speaking, with this special status, as long as either Gong Gong or I are alive, no one would dare to harm her in the slightest.]

Yu paused briefly at this point.

Unfortunately, reality is never that fair.

[Who could have imagined that both Gong Gong and I would die before your mother? The Red Eye Cauldron I entrusted to her for safekeeping also brought disaster upon us.]

To be honest, I don't know who secretly contacted your mother.

[But since he was able to contact your mother through Huang Lin, he's most likely one of my and Gong Gong's direct subordinate gods.]

Upon hearing Yu Guo's words, Yinglong immediately felt a sense of doubt.

"If they are your subordinates, why is my mother so angry?"

Although Xuansu Shi concealed it well, how could Yinglong not see the unease and anger in her heart?

This is the crux of the matter.

Do you think we'd only have one deity like your mother?

[Your mother was willing to sacrifice you so that I could be reborn, so why wouldn't they?]

A faint bitter smile crept into his voice. Yu Guo had never imagined that one day the loyalty of the gods would become a source of his troubles.

[If they were my subordinates, at least I understand them and know how to deal with them.]

[But what if they are current subordinates of Gong Gong?]

[They won't listen to my orders; once they go crazy, no one knows what might happen.]

Yinglong frowned involuntarily; he had already sensed a hint of unease in Yu Guo's words.

[If that's the case, why won't you let me tell the Celestial Person?]

Didn't you tell me you'd had enough of living? Are you afraid the Celestial Person will find you?

Faced with Yinglong's questioning and distrust, Yu simply answered calmly.

If I wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't have told you so much.

I have indeed lived long enough, but I bear the weight of more than just my own life and death on my shoulders.

[Whether it was my subordinates or Gong Gong's deity who contacted your mother, they were not acting for their own benefit.]

How could I possibly stand by and watch them be killed by the Celestial Person?

Upon hearing this, Yinglong's eyes widened in shock.

Do you think the Celestial Person will kill them?

The simple-minded Yinglong could not understand Yu Guo's thoughts.

He simply felt that Li Boyang couldn't possibly be the kind of person who was bloodthirsty.

After all, if Li Boyang were to commit murder, the Ghost God and gods of Yunmeng Marsh would have died more than a hundred times over.

Didn't I tell you?

They would do anything to resurrect me and Gong Gong.

Even if the hope of resurrection is slim, even if it's an act that is unforgivable in the eyes of the world, they are absolutely capable of doing it.

With another sigh, Yu Guo said, somewhat bewildered.

I believe in the mercy of that Celestial Person, and I know that he has always been dedicated to teaching the gods.

[But don't forget that the Celestial Person was also known as the Red-Haired Ghost God " and the Sword Bearer," and he wouldn't tolerate any injustice.]

[I don't want to gamble on the magnanimity of Celestial Person, nor do I want to gamble on whether those divine beings have committed heinous sins.]

Therefore, we must now find someone, someone who might be able to know the whole truth.
