Useless

It's a pity—"

"People who can't be used by me have no value in existence." Shen Ye lowered his eyes, "As a priest of Ziwei, I am charged with the heavy responsibility for the survival of Liuyue civilization. No matter who blocks me, there will only be one end."

Cangming raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to touch the old man in front of him, but he still gave up: "That day...is it here?"

In this quiet and peaceful thinking space filled with boundless spring, Shen Ye suddenly didn't want to say that extremely cruel news. His emotion was fighting against his reason in vain, and finally he hesitated for only two seconds: "...Yes."

Cang Ming smiled softly and gratifiedly: "It's good that no one will suffer such hard work again."

"Cangming, do you really want to do this?" Shen Ye's eyes became more and more unbearable, "Hitomi recently found a port that seems to be a gray path near the SR galaxy, and I plan to send someone there to conduct an in-depth investigation..."

"Hui Dao? Heh, when did the High Priest become so idealistic?"

"..."

"Indeed, in theory, we can move freely on the time axis with the help of the gray path, know the future, and change the past, but no one has really succeeded in the history of the development of Liuyue civilization, has it? Compared to the one in ten million Possibly, it is obviously more realistic to destroy the Jumu system and strangle the demons."

"Cangming...you..."

"I don't interfere with your cooperation with the heart demon. You assist me in the life body connection with Jumu. We have fulfilled the past agreement very well. I have no regrets to have a high priest like you in this life."

Shen Ye bowed deeply: "If you have a city lord like you, your subordinates will have nothing else to ask for."

"Then do as I say. This is my last order to you as the city lord, don't let me down."

"Then..." Shen Ye's lips moved, "Then—"

"At the last moment, bid farewell to me, Ah Ye." Cangming smiled, and slowly retreated into the catkins flying all over the sky.

Shen Ye closed his eyes, the virtual soft catkins in the thinking space fell on his face, it was bone-chillingly cold.

From time to time, Huayue looked inward at Shen Ye who was sleeping in the interactive cabin from the observation hole on the door, which was in stark contrast to Tong who was calmly fiddling with the chip.

"Today is not the day for your routine report. If you have anything to do, I can tell you later." Hitomi finally left the box with the same chips, "It takes a long time to enter and exit the thinking space. You don't have to spend all the time here."

"I'm just a little worried. Say," Huayue turned around, "the high priest and the city lord haven't seen each other for years, what will they talk about?"

"It's nothing but the end."

Huayue heard the words, and took a deep look at Tong: "If that day really comes, will you leave or stay?"

"What do you think Priest Lianzhen thinks?" Tong raised the corners of his mouth playfully.

"...Of course I won't leave."

"He won't agree."

"In this matter, I don't need his consent." Hua Yue resolutely said, "What are the plans of the Seven Killing Priests?"

"Coincidentally, it's the same as you."

Just as Hua Yue was about to answer, the door behind her suddenly opened, and Shen Ye said in a deep voice, "What's the same?"

"Nothing, just some gossip." Hitomi replied, "How is the meeting with the castellan going?"

"According to the original plan." Shen Ye turned to Hua Yue, "Why are you here?"

"You haven't visited Xiaoxi for a while, she misses you very much."

"...I've been too busy recently, Xiaoxi, you can coax me more, I will go there when I have time." Shen Ye paused, and then asked, "How is the progress of Longbingyu's relocation?"

"70.00% of the residents have been relocated, and the rest should hurry up. Three months is enough time."

"Three months..."

"If time is too late, I will try my best to compress the process."

"It's not this question," Shen Ye pondered for a while, and said, "Go back first."

Hua Yue bowed to Shen Ye and left quickly.

"You came here early, is it because the investigation of the gray path has made new discoveries?"

Hitomi nodded: "Yes, I controlled the unmanned spaceship to go to the SR galaxy to shoot a video at close range. It is almost certain that there is a port of the gray path. If further results are needed, I will send someone to look at it tomorrow."

"No need."

"Oh?" Although Hitomi used a questioning tone, she didn't show any surprise, "Does the city lord disagree?"

"Since you have already expected it, why bother to ask?"

"..."

"Although there is no need to send people, the unmanned capsule does not need to be retracted. Let it continue to go deep and report back the internal situation of the gray road."

"Are you still determined?" Tong said slowly, "High Priest, you want too much."

"A lot? You're right," Shen Ye laughed at himself, "I have already owed a lot of blood debts, and I really shouldn't expect any more opportunities to go back to the past and change history."

"Blood debt? So after all these years, you are still thinking about injecting germs?" Tong said lightly, "They were killed by their own emotions and desires, and have nothing to do with you."

"...You always make me feel creepy."

"Award."

"If I can really go back to the past, the first thing I will do is to recommend you to be the priest of Ziwei." Shen Ye didn't wait for Tong Tong's answer, and then asked, "How is the situation in Chu Qi?"

"Nine out of ten have been restored. Will the high priest go and have a look?"

"Alright."

Tong led Shen Ye all the way to the closed thinking room - due to his special identity and face, Tong had to arrange him in this hidden building when Chu Qi returned to the spaceship.Now there are no priests imprisoned in the contemplation room, which just gives Chu Qi a lot of room to move.

Chu Qi stood upright in the closed training room, aiming the light blade in his hand steadily at the target in front of him.Most of his face was covered by a mask, only showing the tight corners of his mouth and smooth jaw line.As soon as Shen Ye and Tong entered the corridor, he was keenly aware of the aura of the person coming, immediately withdrew the light blade and walked out, and bowed deeply in the direction of the two: "Master."

Shen Ye looked at Chu Qi, then turned to ask Tong Tong: "I think he has fully recovered, but you said nine out of ten, where is the remaining one or two points?"

Hitomi raised her hand and nodded her eyes.

Shen Ye said coldly: "Chuqi, take it off."

Chu Qi silently and quickly took off the mask.His face did not show the traces of being burned by the high temperature during the drug donation that day—except for two dark red scars under his right eye, embedded on his pale face, were two drops of blood tears that were about to fall.

"These two burns are the most serious, and I tried many methods but couldn't get rid of them." Hitomi explained.

Shen Ye stepped forward, raised Chu Qi's chin so that he faced her, and the latter's eyelids drooped softly.

"It's because the subordinates are not doing their job well," said Hitomi.

"It's okay." Shen Ye's fingers brushed across the two scars. The skin under the fingertips was as smooth and flat as other places, but the red color seemed to be born with it, buried deep in Shen Ye's reach. He smiled playfully, "Look, even if the damaged things are repaired and remanufactured, every time I see them, I still can't help but stare at those cracks and defects... Do you think so?"

Hitomi looked away and answered the non-issue question with silence.

"Now that you have recovered, you should go back to the lower realm to continue your mission." Shen Ye let go of Chu Qi's chin, "Do you miss the lower realm, Chu Qi?"

"No, the subordinates only want to follow the master. Where the master is, the subordinates will be there."

"What did you say? Speak up and say it again."

"Where the master is, so are the subordinates."

"Very good. You go to check your equipment and set off to the lower realm tonight. Continue to follow Le Wuyi and his party, and report the progress on time." Shen Ye glanced at Tong who was silent, "Once they get Zhaoming, they will immediately cooperate with Qisha The priest takes the artifact."

"Yes, master." Chu Qi bowed his head and quickly left the corridor after bowing his head. He didn't even tilt his eyes when he passed the Qisha priest who was entertaining himself and built a chip pagoda.

Seeing Chu Qi leave, Tong removed a pagoda foundation from the bottom of the pagoda, and the clear pagoda body instantly shattered, collapsing into ruins with a crisp sound.

Shen Ye silently watched Tong's work disappear into nothingness: "Falling apart and returning to dust, this may be the final ending of Liuyue."

"It's the end of everything."

"Then we have worked hard for many years and struggled in every possible way. Isn't it ridiculous?"

"Ants still steal their lives."

"No matter what happens, you are always so calm." Shen Ye stared at Tong, with a faint smile appearing on his face, "I am so lucky to have a friend like you."

"Rise and fall cannot be controlled by man, and God's will is always difficult to stop. Calm or not, it has no decisive effect on the development of things."

"God's will... Yes, it's ridiculous to say that when I was in the source, no one believed in the so-called destiny, but at this juncture, I have to admit that the power of heaven is unpredictable. No matter how unwilling or convinced, every time I think of it There is such a thing as God's will, so I have to let it go." Shen Ye sighed, "Fortunately, this will soon be over."

"……Yes."

"Where will you be when that day comes?"

"When that day comes," Hitomi didn't answer directly, "you will know."

Chapter 73

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

Anival regarded him as nothing, and only smiled condescendingly at Xia Yi: "Shaoshu Palace, I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

Xia Yi lowered his eyes silently, and the beam of light projected by the ceiling lamp draped over his body like a flowing veil.

"It has long been heard that among the three palaces in the Central Plains, only the Shaoshu Palace is well-read and knowledgeable, which can be of great use," Anival said.
