Chapter 576 Destiny Has Found Me
The man in green robes, formerly known as the Flowing Clouds Forget-Worry True Monarch, crossed his arms and looked at the dragon-shaped stone statue that had been weathered by wind and frost for hundreds of years, and slowly spoke.
"You've been holed up here all these years and still haven't been able to heal your injuries? Or were you planning to give up on this body from the very beginning?"
The dragon-shaped stone sculpture tilted its head slightly and looked up at the sky, as if it were talking about someone else's affairs, showing no fear or worry about its impending demise.
"Of course I'm prepared to give up. Otherwise, why would I have given that guy to you so early? You have no idea how devastating Morax's sword strike was. Even if I had wanted to live, let alone die, I'm afraid the outcome would have been the same."
The man in green said disdainfully, "You concealed all your power in the Dust Concealment Cave, making you weaker than a mortal in front of Morax. Do you think you can decide whether to live or die? It's only because the Emperor showed mercy that you were able to escape to this riverbank and play the fool."
"Alright, alright, I know you're a fan of his, but there's no need to insult me like that. Even though you spend all your time with my successor, you should at least show some basic respect to me, your predecessor, especially since I'm now old, frail, and on my deathbed..."
Qingyi waved her hand impatiently, as if shooing away flies buzzing in her ear, "Alright, alright, I beg you to just die already, okay? If you keep nagging like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist sending you on your way."
"Please don't! Many memories haven't been transferred to the Dust Concealment Gourd yet. If you make a move now, you'll leave me an incomplete man..."
Qingyi watched as this chatterbox rattled on and on, as if he wanted to say everything he hadn't said in five hundred years. It seemed that this guy had been holding back for all these years.
That's understandable, though. After all, he's never been one to settle down. If it weren't for the circumstances being against him and his own plans, he wouldn't have been able to endure it for so many years.
"What... do you need me to do next?" Qingyi interrupted the dragon-shaped stone sculpture's incessant chatter and asked earnestly.
The dragon-shaped stone carving closed its mouth and chuckled.
"I don't need to do anything. 'Fate' has already found 'me,' hasn't it? Hehe, everything else will fall into place naturally, and 'I' will naturally follow in the footsteps of 'Fate' to the final moment of the end."
After laughing for a while, the dragon-shaped stone sculpture said softly to the woman in green, "Go on your way. 'We' are still waiting for you on the road ahead. Believe me, there is a wider world ahead of us, and I will take you to see it."
Qingyi nodded heavily. She had always believed the man in front of her. Although he had indeed lied to her many times, he had never lied about this matter.
The woman in green turned and took a few steps, then suddenly turned back.
"You just said that the Divine Radiance is contained within..."
The dragon-shaped stone sculpture was already shrinking into the ground, and it laughed when it heard Qingyi's question.
"You didn't expect that, did you? She truly has the appearance of an immortal! Waiting five hundred years was definitely worth it! Of course, I admire myself even more for being able to keep her by my side, as well as that other one carrying a sword. Both of them are extraordinary beings. I don't know what Morax was thinking, letting such good seedlings go to waste... Fortunately, I had foresight and started a nurturing plan early on..."
Seeing that this guy was starting to ramble on and on again, and even the topics were getting more and more taboo, Qingyi glared at him irritably, "You'd better bury yourself already, I'm leaving."
Watching the man in green walk away, the dragon-shaped stone sculpture comfortably rolled over in the soil. "It's still more comfortable lying like this. I should have rolled over a long time ago, but since the world won't turn over, I'll have to do it myself."
The dragon-shaped stone carving was right; Xu Ning and the others were indeed waiting for Qingyi ahead.
"I thought you guys left first..."
Ningguang laughed and said, "We came together, how could we leave you alone? But this guy was so slow when he came, but now he wants to teleport back quickly."
Qingyi glanced at Xu Ning, who had been somewhat silent since earlier, and knew that today's events had greatly impacted him, so he probably wouldn't be in the mood to while away the time on the road for the time being.
"What about the carriages we brought?"
"Let's go to Wangshu Inn and use the teleportation point to return to Qunyu Pavilion. We'll have the people there take care of the carriage!"
Ningguang made the arrangements and led Qingyi and Beidou into the Dust-Hidden Cave.
Xu Ning composed himself, summoned a strong wind from the ground, and used the Wind Wings to fly into the sky, crossing the river and heading towards Wangshu Inn.
After exchanging a few words with Huai'an about the carriage, Xu Ning immediately used the teleportation anchor point to return to Yujingtai.
Xu Ning did not use the Heavenly Ladder, but flew up to the Jade Pavilion as before, and only after entering the pavilion did he summon Ningguang and Beidou.
Looking at these two women who were closest to him in Teyvat, Xu Ning was momentarily at a loss as to how to explain his experiences to them.
However, after just a moment's hesitation, Beidou spoke up first, somewhat excitedly.
"So, you're actually a demon god, just like the Rock King Emperor?"
Xu Ning nodded hesitantly, "Qingyi told you, right? Based on what we know now, it should be true. It's just that her power seems weak, though it could also be because I haven't regained my memories..."
Beidou chuckled and said, "Then I'll have one more achievement in my life: slaying demonic beasts and riding demon gods... Hmm!"
Ningguang shoved a piece of pastry from the plate on the table into Beidou's mouth, silencing the guy's next nonsensical remarks.
However, Ningguang's next words made Xu Ning even more difficult to deal with.
"So, you've now received the memories of that God of Wine, which means his memories will soon become yours. In the information you already know, how many wives and concubines are currently involved in the destiny plan?"
Xu Ning wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "You're focusing on the wrong things. Also, let me clarify, I haven't accessed the memories he transmitted, nor do I intend to. As for the forty-eight rooms, that's all fabricated. I know nothing about it. By the way, why don't you ask Qingyi about that?"
Ningguang pouted slightly, "Who knows if that little snake has also become your plaything? Asking her probably won't get you any truth..."
Xu Ning shook his head. "You're getting more and more absurd. Let's get down to business. I'm planning to leave for a few days to go to Sumeru. The whole thing started with the World Tree in Sumeru, and the memory orb that triggered my search for the God of Wine was deliberately given to me by the Little Auspicious Grass King through the Scattered Soldiers. I want to go and ask Buyer for information related to the God of Wine."
