"Are you ......!?"

Seeing the sudden uninvited guest, Lu Xingyue and Jiang Yao suddenly became nervous, and the gluttony on the side didn't seem to be surprised, just stared at the three-legged black that stepped forward silently, and gently got out of the way.

"I've been looking for you for so many years, but I can't think of it...... I actually saw you here. The three-legged black stared at the blue bird whose body was gradually becoming transparent, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Sorry...... The ...... with you It seems that it can't be done...... Three-legged black ......" The blue bird's voice was soft and ethereal, and a trace of pain flashed in her blue pupils.

"I ...... I won't watch you disappear!"

The three-legged black gritted his teeth, ignored the three people on the side, squatted down in front of the blue bird, and reached out to press the other party's chest. As a soft burst of mana light lit up, the black light in the blue bird's chest finally stopped expanding, but the dissipation of his body seemed to be unstoppable.

"Is this ...... 'curse'? Who did it, who did it!" The three-legged black gritted his teeth, and angry flames burned in his turquoise eyes. He raised his head and cast a threatening gaze on the Taotao on the side, as if asking the other party to give an explanation, but the Taotao was just silent and shook his head without saying a word.

"It's nothing to do with him...... I am to blame...... Maybe for me...... That's the best ending......"

The blue bird whispered, looking at Lu Xingyue, who was hazy with teary eyes beside him, and his hand, which had almost lost his silhouette, gently stroked Lu Xingyue's hair, with deep affection in his eyes.

"It's just...... After all, I still have regrets...... Important Appointments, Important People...... I didn't hold any of ......."

"No, father-in-law...... It was you who guarded me, and I couldn't live in this world without you!" Lu Xingyue cried and shook the hand of the blue bird, but she couldn't hold the dissipating phantom. "Please...... Please go back with me!"

"I'm sorry...... Father-in-law, I ...... There's no going back......" the blue bird sighed, casting her gaze to the distant sky, the light in her eyes gradually dissipating. "I've ...... Even the qualifications to take one last look at the hometown...... It's gone......"

"No, I'll take you back...... Back to the Heavenly Realm, back to the Queen Mother of the West, back to our homeland. ”

The three-legged black looked at the figure of the bluebird that was about to disappear, and reached out again and gently pressed it on the bluebird's chest. In the raised mana light, anger and sadness gradually dissipated from the three-legged black eyes, leaving behind boundless firmness and tenderness.

"Whether it's a thousand years or 10,000 years, after you re-cultivate and transform into shapes, we'll complete our agreement back then. I will...... Always waiting for you. ”

“…… Thank you ......."

A little pale yellow light was like a galaxy stardust, and in the cry of Lu Xingyue, the figure of the blue bird gradually dissipated under the vast dark eternal night. The blood-soaked black cloak slipped weakly to the ground between Lu Xingyue's arms, leaving only a crystal jade pendant with a beautiful blue light slowly falling and remaining in Lu Xingyue's hands.

"Father-in-law...... Father-in-law!!Don't ...... Don't leave me ......!!"

Lu Xingyue's face instantly turned as gloomy as death, and her emotions were on the verge of collapse. Seeing the other party in such pain, Jiang Yao on the side was also a little unbearable, but at this moment, he really couldn't find any words of comfort, so he could only be silent and accompany Lu Xingyue's side.

"I kept his Yuan Shen and left it in this jade ......pendant," the three-legged black looked at the jade pendant in Lu Xingyue's hand, as well as the totem of the cyan divine bird in the jade pendant, and said softly. "As long as the primordial god is immortal, he can re-cultivate and transform into a shape, but this time may be thousands of years, or it may be ten thousand years......

"Genshin...... In other words, my stepfather, he ...... He's actually alive, isn't he?" Lu Xingyue slowly raised her head, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her desperate gold and silver eyes.

“…… You can understand it this way. The three-legged black was silent for a moment, and then moved his gaze to the jade pendant in Lu Xingyue's hand. "I want to bring him back to the Heavenly Realm, which is what he has always wanted. Maybe when he returns to his homeland, he can start again. ”

"I ...... I see. ”

Lu Xingyue gritted his teeth, he trembled and stared at the warm cyan jade pendant in his hand, and tears fell on the surface of the jade pendant little by little. After a few moments, he finally wiped away his tears and regained his steadfastness in his eyes.

"My father-in-law, I'll leave it to you......" After taking one last look at the jade pendant, Lu Xingyue stood up and carefully handed the jade pendant to the three-legged black.

"I will live up to the trust. The three-legged black looked at Lu Xingyue and solemnly made a promise.

"Speaking of which, how did you find out that the blue bird is in the Netherworld? The glutton, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. "You seem to have broken into the Netherworld before, don't you...... Have you consulted the Book of Life and Death?"

"Hmph, you know quite well, do you care so much about the 'Book of Life and Death'?" "The three-legged black turned around and glanced at the gluttony, and said in a cold voice. "I remember that more than a century ago, there seemed to be some guy who tried to break into the Netherworld Forbidden Land, but he couldn't even cross the 'Lethe Barrier'. ”

"......" gluttony stared at the three-legged black, and his face gradually became gloomy. And Jiang Yao also seemed to notice the change in the gluttonous expression, and while he was surprised, he couldn't help but think of the rumors he overheard from the horse's belly when he rescued Lu Xingyue in the underground execution ground.

More than a hundred years ago, gluttony seemed to have made a big fuss in the netherworld...... Could it be that the three-legged black is referring to this? Netherworld...... It seems to be where the "Book of Life and Death" is, why did he go there?

Jiang Yao subconsciously reached out and brushed the 'death mark' on his collarbone, feeling more and more that this red-haired man seemed to be hiding a lot of things from him. He quietly raised his eyes to observe the glutton's expression, as if he wanted to read some information from it, and the gluttony seemed to feel something, and his red eyes moved to Jiang Yao with some kind of fierce coercion.

"......!" Jiang Yao was startled, and looked away weakly, and when he looked at the gluttony again, he found that the other party was no longer looking at him, but turned to the three-legged black as usual.

"Putting aside the past, I just want to know your results this time. Gluttony opened his mouth coldly again.

"Unfortunately, I didn't find the 'Book of Life and Death'. The three-legged black looked back at the glutton's cold eyes, and seemed to have finally restrained the ridicule.

"Even if I crossed the 'Lethe Barrier', I couldn't pass through the 'Reincarnation Barrier' set by the Hades at the end, and the reason why I found the Blue Bird here was because I sensed his aura during the previous confrontation with the spatial rift. ”

"...... 'Reincarnation Enchantment'?" the gluttony muttered, and there seemed to be a faint wavering wave in his red pupils. He glanced at the three-legged black, and then swept his gaze to Jiang Yao, who was slightly dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"But I can tell you one thing, the 'Book of Life and Death' has undergone a mutation, and many of the life records have disappeared, and until the 'Book of Life and Death' returns to normal, even if you try to look up anything from it, I'm afraid it will be in vain. ”

The three-legged black said, reaching out to brush the jade pendant in his arms, and his face seemed to show a little entanglement. "Originally, I made an exchange with Hades, and I helped her find out the truth about the mutation in the 'Book of Life and Death', and she helped me find the blue bird, but I didn't expect it...... It is the person I am looking for who is the culprit who deprives the soul of the living soul and causes the abnormal change of the 'Book of Life and Death'......"

"Blue Bird, he is not the real 'culprit', in fact, he is also the object of control, but we have no way of knowing the identity of the guy behind him. Gluttony groaned. "Now that the 'Soul Suppression Stone' has been taken back by that guy, and the other party may not be willing to give up, if the soul snatching will lead to the mutation of the 'Book of Life and Death', I am afraid that such a change will continue to be staged in the future......"

"Is that the guy who planted the 'curse of extermination' in him and tricked him into taking his soul...... Who the hell is that guy......" The three-legged black whispered, looking up at the puppet undead who were hovering in the sky, his fists clenching gradually.

"Boom...... ......Boom!'

As he spoke, the roar of the collapse of the building mixed with the noise came from the periphery of the 'Nine Springs Walled City', and the gluttony raised his head and looked into the distance, a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, at this time, I came to reap the benefits of the fisherman...... It seems that the people in the underworld have already calculated it. ”

"Difu, it's terrible......" Jiang Yao came back to his senses, and then remembered that he was a fugitive, but at the moment when the 'Dragon Bone Key' had been destroyed, he and Lu Xingyue were already in a desperate state at this time.

"Since this kid is the righteous son of the blue bird, I will not sit idly by, with my ability, it is not impossible to bring a human back to the earthly realm. The three-legged black glanced at Lu Xingyue, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Yao. "As for you...... I don't know why you're being hunted down by Hades, but from my standpoint, I don't have any reason to offend the underworld for an irrelevant person. ”

"Wait, wait a minute, please take him with you! He will be injured like this, and there is a reason for me......" Lu Xingyue was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.

"Leave me alone, go away, my Death Mark...... After all, there has to be a decision. Jiang Yao stroked the black mark on his collarbone, recalling the voice that appeared in his mind at the beginning, the young man, and secretly made a decision in his heart. "And...... I also have some things to confirm with Hades. ”

"But, but, if you are really taken to the other side of the Lethe River by the underworld, then you won't be able to go back to the realm!" Lu Xingyue anxiously persuaded.

"But even if I escape this time, as long as this 'death mark' is there, I will still be captured one day, and this matter will have to be resolved sooner or later. Jiang Yao shook his head and turned to the three-legged black again. "If you don't leave, it's too late, quickly lead Xingyue out of here!"

"......" The three-legged black looked at Jiang Yao's expression, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. He glanced at the black shadows that gathered towards the 'Imperial City' from a distance, and then dragged up Lu Xingyue, and the black feathers flapped their wings, turning into a huge shadow in an instant, and rushed into the dark purple sky.

"Wait, wait...... Jiang Yao——!"

"Boom—"

The roaring thunder overshadowed Lu Xingyue's anxious roar, and after the golden thunder and lightning, the figures of the two disappeared.

"Tsk, the last chance to return to the realm was also let go by you, do you say you are stupid?" Tao Tao glanced at the disappearing back of the three-legged black, and turned his head to look at Jiang Yao, but found that the other party was staring at him, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes.

"Looking at you like this, you don't seem to be panicked at all?" Tao Tao looked at Jiang Yao's expression, and the corners of his mouth raised.

"It's useless to panic now, right? and...... Before I came to the underworld, I happened to have something to ask you. ”

Jiang Yao stared at the red-haired man in front of him, some details that he had ignored in the past began to surface in his mind, and once doubts were born, they grew like weeds wildly, and they could no longer be suppressed.

"About the 'secrets' in my body, about the 'Book of Life and Death'...... Are you hiding something from me?"
