Half an hour later.
The statue finally shattered.
Warrior Monk Wuguo opened his eyes again, struggled to his feet, and looked over the mirror-calm Divine Realm around him—then immediately frowned.
Where was the God of Heart Demons? Where had that fellow gone? Why hadn’t he finished him off? Had something changed?
Wuguo pondered for a long time and still couldn’t figure it out. A heavy irritability rose in his chest.
Of course he was irritable. He had thought that with the Divine Realm’s Ancient Buddha inheritance in hand, he would soar at once, sweep away all evil, and found an undefeated Buddhist kingdom.
Who could have expected that in the very first battle after receiving the inheritance, he would almost be slain by a demon god? The blow to his pride was brutal.
No. He still wasn’t strong enough. He had to become stronger. If he had the chance to meet that God of Heart Demons again, he would hack him into eight pieces and torture him to death.
At this moment, Wuguo failed to realize that his temperament had already changed in silence. His Buddha-heart had been dusted over—a mark left by the God of Heart Demons’ Heaven-Piercing Demon Heart. Even though the god had already fallen, the mark remained, and thus the Buddha-heart was stained.
...
Elsewhere, on a cloud bank eight hundred li from there, Han Gu finally met his daughter, Han Yuexi.
It had been a long time, and he felt he owed her. His gaze turned exceptionally gentle as he called softly, “Yuexi.”
Once, Han Gu would never have done that. His first words were always, “Where is your younger brother?” For him to change now was no small thing.
In the past, Han Yuexi might have been surprised. But now, all her thoughts were on Ye Yu, and such details slipped beneath her notice.
“Father, where is Ye Yu? Where is he? I need to see him right away!”
Since her latest awakening, Han Yuexi was certain that Ye Yu hadn’t told her the truth last time. Godstones? Only three uses? All lies. She was desperate to find Ye Yu for one reason: to verify a few things. If true, it would save a huge amount of trouble.
Han Gu’s face stiffened. He muttered, “It’s my fault. I didn’t keep an eye on him, and he got away.”
Han Yuexi stared in disbelief. In this real world, Ye Yu’s cultivation seemed to be only at the New God Realm. And Han Gu, an Ancient God, couldn’t keep track of a New God? How was that possible?
Under his daughter’s doubtful gaze, Han Gu wanted to crawl into a hole. It was awkward—but the world was often absurd. He had assumed Ye Yu and Shen Fuxin were both New Gods and couldn’t have gone far. A casual deduction would reveal their location; no need to rush. He’d just wait ahead for Yuexi to arrive so they could go together—then she could witness Ye Yu’s scummy face and bow out early. What a fine plan.
Just as Yuexi approached, Han Gu made a precautionary deduction—only to find he could not deduce a single thing about Ye Yu. As for Shen Fuxin, they’d met only briefly; he didn’t even know her name, so there was nothing to work with. In other words, a complete waste.
Damn it. If he’d known it would end like this, he should have stuck to them the whole time. But there was no medicine for regret.
