Chapter 1071 408: Farewell (2)
"And then?" Li Xiu only had to hear Jiang Lanling recount the scene at that time to imagine how terrifying it must have been.
"There's no 'then.' In that instant, I was forcibly kicked out of the Destiny Crossroads Station. What happened afterward, I have no knowledge of, and I never went back there again." Jiang Lanling said.
"So, who exactly is that child?" Li Xiu asked, frowning.
"I don't know. When I entered there, Li Boyang was already holding the child, standing in front of the gate. Where he found that child, I know nothing about." Jiang Lanling said bitterly, "Actually, when the child followed me out, although I was terrified, I felt a bit relieved in my heart. If I had kept the child hidden, and Li Boyang couldn't find her, maybe the scenes I saw wouldn't really happen."
"You don't have to look at me like that. No matter what, I am also a part of this world. When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact; how could I wish for the world to truly be destroyed?" Jiang Lanling noticed Li Xiu's unusual gaze and explained with a sigh.
Li Xiu didn't doubt Jiang Lanling. She was right; any normal person wouldn't want to see their own world destroyed.
Li Xiu was just a bit puzzled. Li Boyang clearly wanted to use him to open the gate to the outside world. In theory, it should have been him going to the stone gate with Li Boyang, so how did it end up being Zazi?
"Could it be that Li Boyang's plan to use me to leave ultimately failed, so he found Zazi instead? Who exactly is Zazi? Why does she have the ability to help Li Boyang open the gate?" Li Xiu pondered in silence, unable to grasp the key to it all.
"That's all I know. If you don't believe me, even if you kill me, I have nothing more to offer." Jiang Lanling said.
Li Xiu didn't kill Jiang Lanling. He turned and left. Although he didn't learn Zazi's true identity, he knew that Zazi must be significantly connected to Li Boyang.
However, Li Xiu still couldn't comprehend why Li Boyang, who had gone to great lengths to cultivate him, would bother if there was indeed such a suitable choice like Zazi.
After leaving the Jade Royal Court, Li Xiu went to hunt the Divine Position Demon Spirits. Regardless of how things developed, increasing his strength was the priority, and Li Xiu had to proceed with his plan.
For several consecutive days, Li Xiu was constantly hunting Divine Position Demon Spirits at various places in the Land of Trial, and occasionally returned to Longevity Island, but only for a brief stay.
Each time Li Xiu returned, he would take a look at Zazi. But no matter how he looked, it was hard to imagine how Zazi could possibly open the Gate of the World. At least, on Zazi's body, Li Xiu did not sense an energy comparable to the Unparalleled.
Finally, Li Xiu obtained another Divine Position Gemstone, while the old immortal only managed to find one Evil.
When Li Xiu gave the Divine Position Gemstone to the old immortal, he promised to give him two more Evil in return. He had already traced them but hadn't acquired them yet.
Exchanging three Evil for one Divine Position Gemstone, the old immortal felt as if he had struck a great deal and wanted to compensate Li Xiu with some more gemstones, but Li Xiu declined, asking him to continue searching for more Evil.
To Li Xiu, the value of three Evil was absolutely not inferior to that of a Divine Position Gemstone. The only reason Divine Position Gemstones were so valuable now was that no one else could hunt the Divine Positions.
Li Xiu looked at the Evil in the bottle, considering whom to feed it to.
The most suitable recipients for the Evil were undoubtedly the intended bride and the Dragon Vein Spirit. However, the quality of this Evil was just radiant, not the top-tier brilliance. Li Xiu felt that using it to parasitize the bride and the Dragon Vein Spirit would be unfair to them.
Top-tier demons should indeed use top-tier Evil.
Ultimately, Li Xiu decided to give the Evil to the White Night Female Demon. When he summoned her out and opened the bottle, the Evil rushed towards her on its own, indicating its satisfaction with the White Night Female Demon.
The White Night Female Demon did not resist the Evil; she even eagerly absorbed it.
After being parasitized by the Evil, the White Night Female Demon became like a Jedi Knight and Demigod Shana, able to consume Demon Cores to advance in level. Li Xiu fed her the Divine Position Demon Core he had stored. In just a few days, the White Night Female Demon ascended to the Divine Position Level.
Li Xiu spared no effort, continuing to feed the Divine Position Demon Core to the White Night Female Demon, hoping she could grow to the pinnacle of the Divine Position.
Li Xiu discovered that during this period of frenzied hunting of Divine Position Demon Spirits, although he hadn't used any resources from them, the light energy within his body was growing stronger, bringing him closer to Unparalleled.
This situation was something Li Xiu had speculated about before, so he was not flustered.
"I don't have much time left." Li Xiu decided not to hunt any more Demon Spirits and instead returned to Courtyard Seven, calling Chu Jun, Sha Chu, Ah Fei, Jing Li, and the Ye Family siblings to his side one by one.
Before that day arrived, he wanted to leave something behind.
If the world still existed after that day, someone would need to stand up and do something for it.
"Li Xiu, why do I feel like you've been acting strange lately?" Li Ming'Er, holding the sleeping Zazi, looked at Li Xiu with a puzzled expression, scrutinizing him up and down.
Li Xiu glanced at Zazi, who was sucking her thumb in sleep, and smiled as he said, "Ming'Er, how have you been adjusting over this period?"
"Pretty well. Life here is much more meaningful than on Longevity Island." As Li Ming'Er spoke, her eyes naturally sparkled, making her particularly captivating.
