Chapter 627: Mediator Qi Yuan
Chapter 627: Mediator Qi Yuan
December 20, 2024
Qi Yuan was taken aback, but his eyes soon cleared.
"Is that so?"
Having endured the Three Disasters and Three Tribulations, he was now almost omniscient and omnipotent.
With a slight perception, he understood the cause and effect of this matter.
Of course, this ability was limited to ordinary universes and realms.
In places like the Abandoned Land, where all was void, this ability was greatly restricted.
Therefore, for Qi Yuan, finding Wu Shi in the Abandoned Land was still a challenge.
"It seems this game mission is a bit difficult," Qi Yuan thought to himself.
The mission was simple: protect the Abandoned Land and prevent it from being devoured by the void.
Even the peak of San Sheng would struggle with this task.
For Qi Yuan, it was a challenge.
However, compared to San Sheng, Qi Yuan had a college degree, a smart brain, and was especially skilled in making plans.
The advantage was his.
Completing the game was not a problem.
At this moment, Qi Yuan turned to Feng Ye and said calmly, "I plan to host a gathering, a small get-together. Go and invite the Black Sky Sovereign."
Qi Yuan was a man of rules and etiquette.
Moreover, he was intelligent and wise, never slaughtering the innocent.
Therefore, inviting the Black Sky Sovereign was necessary.
On the other side.
Feng Ye entered the area where the Black Sky Sovereign resided. Upon hearing Feng Ye's intention, surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What? Brother Qi Yuan invites me to meet?"
For so many years, he had not seen Qi Yuan.
His friend, the Star Devourer Sovereign, whispered in his ear, suggesting that Qi Yuan might have learned something and dared not meet him.
The Black Sky Sovereign felt his judgment of people was sound, but he couldn't help but feel uneasy due to the Star Devourer Sovereign's constant reminders.
Additionally, Qi Yuan had been in seclusion for a long time.
A hint of doubt crept into his heart.
However, he understood that after this gathering, he must clarify his relationship with Qi Yuan and explain the risks.
Otherwise, even as a descendant of the pillar Tian Kai, offending that person would likely lead to dire consequences.
After all, pillar Tian Kai had numerous descendants.
He would not give special attention to any one of them.
"Black Sky, long time no see. Have you eaten?"
Just then, Qi Yuan emerged, wearing a luxurious robe, looking noble and distinguished.
He asked about food as soon as he opened his mouth.
The Black Sky Sovereign was taken aback.
You invited me to gather, and you're asking if I've eaten?
If I say I've eaten, does that mean you won't let me stay?
"Not yet," the Black Sky Sovereign managed a smile.
Ever since the Star Devourer Sovereign's departure in search of a breakthrough, his door had been deserted, with hardly any visitors.
The true gods he had befriended in the past now avoided him like the plague.
"Perfect timing. I've ordered plenty of food and drinks, enough for you to feast and enjoy," Qi Yuan said casually.
The Black Sky Sovereign laughed, but it was forced.
Qi Yuan, always attentive, noticed this and quickly said, "Rest assured, the food I've prepared is abundant and delicious. It's not pre-made meals or secretly ordered takeout. You once helped me a lot, and I want to treat you to a proper meal, like braised chicken or pig's foot rice, dishes that show respect."
The Black Sky Sovereign didn't understand Qi Yuan's words, but he laughed heartily, "After three thousand years, Brother Qi Yuan, you're still as generous as ever."
He felt the atmosphere of the past.
Now, in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods, perhaps only Qi Yuan would treat him this way.
And there was also the Star Devourer Sovereign.
Qi Yuan nodded and got straight to the point, "In ancient times, people often hosted banquets and acted as mediators. I've invited you here to be that mediator, to resolve your issues, and also to repay your kindness."
This was Qi Yuan's purpose.
Upon hearing this, the Black Sky Sovereign's expression changed slightly.
He somewhat understood Qi Yuan's intention.
But... being a mediator was not a role anyone could take.
After all, he was the one who had endured the Three Disasters and Three Tribulations.
If he were to interfere, it would be considered an offense against the Dao.
Even the pillar Tian Kai could not take on this role.
In the Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods, the only one qualified to be a mediator was probably the Emperor Deity.
"Brother Qi Yuan, that person... has an extraordinary background. Don't offend them."
"The Black Sky Sovereign quickly spoke up, fearing that Qi Yuan was unaware of his formidable power and origins. He was from the Yang Plane, after all."
"How could that be? I live by the rule of law, and I never offend others without cause. Isn't that right, Black Charcoal?" Qi Yuan called out to the person behind the screen.
A Daoist deity, dressed in a black robe, slowly emerged from behind the screen, his eyes still filled with shock and fear, as if he had experienced something terrifying.
The Black Sky Sovereign was stunned by the sight of this person. Was this the Daoist deity? How did he get here, and in such a state? Moreover, what had Qi Yuan just called him? Black Charcoal?
Confused and anxious, the Black Sky Sovereign wondered what was happening.
Qi Yuan then explained, "Black Charcoal, you should know this person. He's the Black Sky Sovereign who you wanted to use to avoid the three disasters and three tribulations."
Hearing this, the Black Sky Sovereign realized that this was indeed the person Qi Yuan had mentioned.
"Yes, Senior," the 'Black Charcoal' Daoist deity quickly nodded in agreement.
Little did he know that Qi Yuan had arranged this encounter while he was in seclusion, preparing for the three disasters and three tribulations.
Suddenly, a powerful and boundless force appeared and abducted the Black Sky Sovereign, who, despite being a Daoist deity, had no ability to resist.
Initially, he thought it was the work of an Emperor Deity, but later he realized his mistake—this mysterious and powerful being was even more terrifying than an Emperor Deity who had transcended the three disasters and three tribulations.
In the Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods, this being had abducted the Black Sky Sovereign right from under the Emperor Deity's nose, without the latter even being aware of it.
This was undoubtedly a peerless power, perhaps even stronger than the Emperor Deity.
Such a terrifying figure had taken action against the Black Sky Sovereign, holding his life and death in Qi Yuan's hands.
"You should understand why I organized this gathering today, right?" Qi Yuan scanned the two, his voice calm.
The Black Sky Sovereign and the 'Black Charcoal' Daoist deity felt a chill as they sensed the difference in Qi Yuan's demeanor.
"Alas, the Yin Plane, Yang Plane, and Rebirth Plane... You two are like counterparts, and if I'm being honest, you could be considered brothers." Qi Yuan continued, "I can't stand seeing siblings turn against each other."
"Black Charcoal, how about this? If I write a poem within seven steps that moves you to tears, will you spare the Black Sky Sovereign? What do you think?" Qi Yuan turned to the 'Black Charcoal' Daoist deity, his voice calm.
Qi Yuan was about to plagiarize again.
Hearing this, the 'Black Charcoal' Daoist deity had no choice but to nod in agreement. If he refused, it would be like helping the Black Sky Sovereign avoid the tribulations.
At this moment, whatever Qi Yuan said, the 'Black Charcoal' Daoist deity had to listen and comply.
The Black Sky Sovereign, standing beside Qi Yuan, was in awe, wondering if he was hallucinating due to his impending death. But as a Divine Lord, how could this be?
"Alright, I'm starting to walk now." Qi Yuan began to move, reciting the plagiarized poem with great emotion.
He intentionally used a broadcasting tone, mixing in some electronic and breathy sounds.
"Cooking beans into soup, straining soybeans..."
"...Born from the same root, why the urgent persecution?" Qi Yuan finished the poem as he took seven steps.
As Qi Yuan was about to speak, he turned to see the 'Black Charcoal' Daoist deity's reaction, only to find that the latter had directly walked seven steps into the Abandoned Land.
Qi Yuan hurried back.
"Oh, I didn't realize my steps were so big. But you heard the poem, right?" Qi Yuan returned to the banquet, feeling relieved.
Fortunately, he was a cultivator; otherwise, such large steps might have caused him to rip his pants, leading to an embarrassing situation.
"I heard it," the 'Black Charcoal' Daoist deity replied, feeling perplexed, his mind filled with confusion.
He couldn't understand Qi Yuan's actions.
"How do you like this poem? Are you moved to tears?" Qi Yuan asked.
The poem was well-written, and with Qi Yuan's heartfelt recitation, it could easily win a top-three spot in a primary school recitation contest.
"I... I'm very moved," the 'Black Charcoal' Daoist deity said, choosing to yield in the face of potential breakthrough and death.
"I'm sorry," he apologized to Qi Yuan, even squeezing out 'tears of emotion.'
If not for the presence of the Black Sky Sovereign, he would have prostrated himself before Qi Yuan.
As for the Daoist deity's dignity and face...
What were those?
He wasn't the type to endure bitter cultivation.
His special physique and extraordinary background meant he had barely cultivated before breaking through to the Daoist deity realm.
"No, I hate it when people apologize to me!" Qi Yuan shuddered at the thought.
The 'Shrimp Head' man and woman apologizing to him would be enough to make him freeze in fear.
