Since ng Po had already agreed to Ye Tian's request, she had no choice but to proceed with it now.
"Follow ."
They arrived at a massive stone, and ng Po asked, "Do you know what this stone is?"
"I don't."
Houyi felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the stone, as if he had seen it sowhere before. However, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't recall when or where.
"This is the Three Lives Stone. It holds the mories of your past three lifetis. If you stand on it, you should be able to retrieve your mories. Then, you'll naturally rember where you left the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow."
"That's great!"
Houyi knew that with another sun appearing in the sky, he had to retrieve the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and shoot it down.
"Alright, stand on it now. Hopefully, you'll be able to rember."
Ye Tian watched as Houyi stepped onto the Three Lives Stone. However, after a while, Houyi clutched his head in pain, his mind clouded with confusion.
He still couldn't recall anything.
"No... My head hurts so much!"
Houyi held his head tightly and shook his head. "No, I can't do it!"
"Hmm?"
ng Po sighed. "It seems it's still not working."
"Why not?"
"The reason is simple—he's a deity now. If he were an ordinary person, there wouldn't be a problem. But deities have seals placed on their minds. Without breaking the seal, even standing on the Three Lives Stone won't help him rember his past lives."
"How could this be?"
"There is still one way—go find the Jade Emperor. Only he can remove the seal on his mind. Once that's done, returning here will allow him to recall his past mories."
"But why do deities have ntal seals in the first place?"
"These mory seals ensure that past lives are completely severed, preventing deities from being burdened by worldly concerns. If a deity retained mories of their past, they would be plagued by worries. Too many worries would prevent them from attaining true divinity."
After ng Po's explanation, Ye Tian finally understood. He nodded and said, "Alright, I understand now. I'll take him to see the Jade Emperor."
Houyi also nodded. "Shall we go now?"
"Yes, right now."
As they were about to leave, ng Po suddenly spoke up. "Wait! How about I go with you?"
"You want to co along?"
"To be honest, I haven't left this place for a very long ti. Staying here every day is quite boring. Now that such a major event is happening, if I go with you, it can be considered an official duty. No one would object, right?"
"Fine. If that's the case, then co with us."
Hearing this, ng Po was overjoyed. A short while later, they t the King of Hell.
ng Po explained, "I want to accompany them to see the Jade Emperor and clarify this matter. May I leave this place?"
"You wish to leave? But there are many responsibilities here. How long will you be gone?"
"Not long."
"Alright, but return as soon as possible. You know the underworld has a constant flow of souls. They need ng Po's Soup before reincarnation. You mustn't be away for too long. Go now, but co back quickly!"
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."
After that, they left the underworld.
Ye Tian intended to head straight to the Heavenly Palace with Houyi, but ng Po spoke up. "I haven't been to the mortal realm in ages. Could I take so ti to wander around before we ascend to see the Jade Emperor?"
"What?"
Ye Tian was taken aback. It seed ng Po wasn't interested in eting the Jade Emperor at all—she just wanted an excuse to visit the mortal realm.
However, this wasn't too surprising. After all, ng Po had been confined to the underworld for an incredibly long ti. Now that she had a rare opportunity to visit the mortal realm, it was only natural for her to want to enjoy it.
"Alright then, you stay and enjoy yourself in the mortal realm. We'll go to the Heavenly Palace ourselves."
"But won't that be a problem? What if the King of Hell asks about it later?"
"Don't worry. As long as we don't say anything, he won't find out."
"Alright, then it's settled!"
ng Po was overjoyed. Being able to stay and have so fun before returning to the underworld was a rare treat.
Ye Tian turned to Houyi. "Let's go!"
"Right!"
After so ti, they arrived at the Heavenly Palace and t with the Jade Emperor. Ye Tian explained the situation.
The Jade Emperor stroked his beard and said, "I see. Since another sun has appeared in the sky, I naturally want Houyi to recover his mory and find the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. Very well."
He then turned to Houyi. "I can remove the seal on your mind. However, once you rember where the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is, you must hand it over to . Understood?"
"This..."
Houyi hesitated. "Why must I give it to you?"
"Isn't it obvious? I am the Jade Emperor! If you know where the bow is, you must tell . That way, I can shoot down the extra sun myself. Then, I will claim the first place on the Golden List Livestream!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian scoffed. "That's incredibly shaless! You're the Jade Emperor, yet you say sothing like this in front of all the deities? How utterly disgraceful!"
"Shaless? You dare call shaless? I'm simply doing what I must. What's the problem? If the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is found, do you think it should go to you instead?"
Clearly, the Jade Emperor had no intention of letting Ye Tian have the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
