Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#385 - Chapter 384 Pick up a little more

Rumble~~~~

An explosion roared like a hysterical mountain flood, and a violent hurricane howled out.

Li Chenqiu lost his footing and was directly blown away, crashing a dozen times on the ground before barely stabilizing himself.

"Pfft!"

Li Chenqiu tilted his head and actively spat out a mouthful of blood, supporting himself on the ground as he staggered to his feet, turning his head to look behind him.

Towering flames rose into the distance, as hot and dazzling as the sun, bringing a brief daylight to the night sky, until the sound of the explosion gradually subsided and everything returned to normal.

Xiang Nanzhi trotted to Li Chenqiu's side and asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Chenqiu shook his head, staring blankly in the direction where the flames had died out, a look of doubt surging in his eyes.

Xiang Nanzhi waved her hand in front of his eyes: "If you're okay, let's go. What are you dazing off for?"

Li Chenqiu came back to his senses, a trace of puzzlement flashing between his brows: "Have you noticed that this island is a bit abnormal?"

"Abnormal?" Xiang Nanzhi looked around and scratched her head: "What's abnormal about it?"

Li Chenqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head and said, "Logically speaking, with five Yama-class experts taking action, even if this island is sturdy, it definitely wouldn't last long before it would be torn apart and swallowed by the sea.

But now, although the island looks scarred, it's only on the surface. The foundation is intact. Don't you think that's strange?"

Xiang Nanzhi narrowed her eyes slightly and nodded in agreement, stroking her chin: "It is strange, but I think it's quite normal."

"Normal?" Li Chenqiu looked surprised: "Why is it normal?"

Xiang Nanzhi pushed up her glasses, a flash of wisdom in her eyes: "Think about it, the Emperor Lord is such a vain person. Since he decided to hold the auction on Green Island, how could he let Green Island be destroyed?

With his strength, protecting this island and limiting the damage caused by these attacks can only be described as 'simple'. Do you understand now!"

Li Chenqiu said somewhat suspiciously, "That reason… is a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"

"What's far-fetched about it? That guy's brain circuit is abnormal in the first place. Okay, stop talking about this, let's hurry up and scavenge!"

After that, the two sneaky figures followed behind the frantically fleeing crowd and began their scavenging journey.

Initially, Li Chenqiu only wanted to feed the Shadow Wisteria Body some corpses of lower-level forbidden beings. After all, he wasn't contributing any effort. If he reaped benefits without restraint, others might have some complaints about him.

But this idea was quickly criticized by Xiang Nanzhi.

"Are you stupid? These corpses will eventually be confiscated. Don't you know what confiscation is for? It's to strengthen the Underworld!

You are the Chu Jiang King of the Underworld. Arming yourself with these corpses is equivalent to strengthening the Underworld. Don't you understand this yet?"

"This should be distributed according to work, right? I haven't contributed any effort, so…"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The reason why so many people came to this auction is all because of you. Can't you see such great credit yourself?"

"Then… shall we pick up a little more?"

……

Under the encirclement and suppression of the five Yama Kings, everything returned to calm in less than half an hour. Below the tenth level of prohibition, no one escaped unscathed.

Afterward, the five returned along the same route, scavenging the spoils of war from those they had killed along the way.

"By the way, the Emperor Lord instructed us not to clean up too thoroughly, and to leave some corpses for Chu Jiang King and Thousand Faces."

"Wouldn't it be better to just give them directly? Why deliberately leave some for them to find?"

"How can you and I fathom the Emperor Lord's thoughts? Just do as you're told."

Initially, the Yama Kings and the others scavenged fairly smoothly and reasonably, but after leaving the sea area and arriving at Green Island, everything began to become less reasonable.

"Strange, I clearly remember killing a ninth-level forbidden resurrector here, where is he?"

"Hey, where did the two eighth-level forbidden ones on my side go?"

"Why are there so many fewer high-level forbidden corpses?"

While the five were still a little dazed, the culprits Li Chenqiu and Xiang Nanzhi had already returned to the other dimension.

Li Chenqiu weighed the Shadow Wisteria Body in his hand and put it in his pocket with a happy expression.

Xiang Nanzhi reached out and put her arm around his shoulder and said, "With so many corpses, if you use them sparingly, it's possible for the Shadow Wisteria Body to last for several years."

"It's hard to say, if my strength improves too quickly, this energy probably won't be able to support the Shadow Wisteria Body for too long."

Speaking of this, the joy in Li Chenqiu's eyes gradually faded.

Xiang Nanzhi said speechlessly with a smile: "Come on, improve your strength too quickly? Of course, improvement is fast before the fifth level of prohibition, but it will naturally slow down later. You don't have to worry about this at all, because reality will slap you hard in the face."

Li Chenqiu did not refute, but asked with some worry: "We took so many corpses, will it displease the Emperor Lord!"

Xiang Nanzhi comforted: "Don't worry, we only picked up less than ten high-level forbidden corpses. What could happen? Besides, do you really think the Emperor Lord doesn't know what we're doing?

His not stopping us means he has acquiesced to our behavior, so put your heart at ease. Instead of worrying about this, you might as well worry about your hundred-plus Xuan artifacts!"

As Xiang Nanzhi said, the actions of the two were under the surveillance of the Northern Yin Emperor.

Under the night sky, the corners of the Northern Yin Emperor's mouth rose slightly, and he murmured: "They are much more restrained than I thought."

The Northern Yin Emperor was not angered by the actions of the two. After all, from the beginning, he planned to give half of the corpses obtained from the cleanup operation to Li Chenqiu.

When Li Chenqiu proposed to participate in the cleanup operation, he thought for a moment and then agreed. The reason he didn't tell Li Chenqiu the truth was because he clearly understood.

Scavenging will be more fun.

……

After the five Yama Kings had scavenged the corpses on the island, the Northern Yin Emperor, standing in the air, waved his hand, and the space crack hidden in the center of the island slowly solidified, exposing itself to everyone's eyes.

"Auction venue, fighting and loud noises are prohibited, violators will die." The Northern Yin Emperor's indifferent voice echoed between heaven and earth.

As soon as the voice fell, several streams of light tore through the night, rushing towards the space crack, and the rest followed.

In less than a moment, the entire Green Island was devoid of anyone except the Northern Yin Emperor.

"Alas, another boring day."

The Northern Yin Emperor sighed softly, his gentle gaze pierced through the clouds, looking towards the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

Rumble~~~

A roar like ten thousand beasts galloping and roaring came from the ground. For some unknown reason, Green Island, which had already returned to calm, suddenly began to shake violently.

The Northern Yin Emperor did not seem surprised by this. He raised his hand and pointed to the distance, and said softly: "There."

Green Island seemed to understand these words, and let out a terrifying roar, like a lonely boat sailing on the sea, smashing through the raging waves, slowly sailing in the direction the Northern Yin Emperor said.
