Chapter 416: Chapter 2: God... Is Dead!
The next day, on the high-speed train heading to Lu’an.
The four mbers of Li Hao’s family sat together, continuously sharing their feelings about this trip.
Of course, most of the ti, Jiang Xin was speaking continuously about various precautions, while Li Jian Country, Li Yun, and Li Hao listened obediently, not daring to interrupt at all.
It wasn’t until Jiang Xin seed to realize that the atmosphere was a bit too serious that she changed the topic.
Thus, the family of four began discussing the various landmarks of Lu’an and the history and events of the university Li Hao was about to attend, with great enthusiasm.
To be honest, this wasn’t the first ti the four of them had taken the high-speed train.
Because when Li Yun got into university, the whole family went to Capital Hua Mansion together just like now.
However, what truly excited the family was not the destination, but the rare opportunity for the four of them to go out together.
Especially as the children gradually grow up, such opportunities are destined to beco increasingly rare.
[Lu’an, here I co.]
With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Li Hao listened absentmindedly to the discussions of his family, while his thoughts inevitably drifted to the city where he would spend the next four years.
As a supre Creator, Li Hao should remain unflappable when faced with Mount Tai collapsing.
However, as a human, Li Hao could not, and did not wish to, break free from emotional and familial ties.
While pondering this, Li Hao’s fingers suddenly twitched slightly.
In the next second, a wisp of black fla vanished from the train without being noticed by anyone.
.........................................................
At the sa ti, in a residential area outside the city of Lu’an.
A plainly dressed, weary-looking girl suddenly looked up, eyes flashing with unconcealed astonishnt and delight.
"Li Hao!"
With an exclamation, the girl’s identity beca obvious.
She was ng Yao, the forr classmate of Li Hao, also the only one who might know about Li Hao’s mysterious powers—ng Yao the Possessor.
Whoosh!
The black flas appeared out of nowhere.
And within the burning flas, the face of Li Hao gradually erged.
"Why are you here?"
Gazing at ng Yao, who should not have been here, Li Hao’s expression was remarkably calm.
Because, under normal circumstances, ng Yao should now be in Capital Hua Mansion.
After all, she was one of the Nine Sons—the disciple of Taotie, known within the 749th Bureau as the Possessor of "Xingtian."
"Well... it’s a long story..."
Hesitantly pausing, ng Yao spoke in a soft voice with a slight frown.
"So make a long story short."
The black flas took a humanoid form, and Li Hao’s body gradually erged from the flas.
Despite being separated by thousands of miles, with the blessing of the ominous misfortune, Li Hao effortlessly reconstructed a temporary incarnation able to walk on Earth.
"Alright, I’ll keep it short!"
Seeing this, ng Yao finally did not hold back anymore.
"My Guide—Taotie encountered so trouble, which resulted in my demotion here."
As ng Yao narrated bit by bit, the story of her recent experiences unfolded before Li Hao.
—A God... died!
—Our world is a graveyard of Gods!
When ng Yao first heard this news, she was dumbfounded.
But since it was spoken by Taotie himself, and with a look of fear when he said it, ng Yao believed him imdiately.
According to Taotie, he was originally trying to trace the source of ng Yao’s Ancient God bloodline, to understand which Ancient God could allow her to reverse the will of the Gods.
In the process, Taotie accidentally found a God who had just fallen not long ago.
As this god had not been in the Fallen Area for long, he still retained most of his mories.
These included the existence of the Fallen Area and the Ascension Area.
After that, Taotie was wanted for secretively infiltrating a military facility, attempting to steal national secrets.
As Taotie’s disciple—ng Yao was implicated and demoted from Capital Hua Mansion to Lu’an, becoming a junior staff mber here.
Of course, due to age and identity reasons, ng Yao still had to return to Capital Hua Mansion in a few days for her studies.
Her work here was more like an external assignnt and inspection, to confirm she had no further ties with the fugitive Taotie.
But now the question is, does ng Yao truly have no more contact with Taotie?
"You’ve still kept in touch with Taotie, haven’t you!"
Although it was frad as a question, Li Hao used a tone of certainty when he said it.
"I knew I couldn’t hide it from you..."
Montarily stunned, ng Yao laughed with candor.
From the mont Li Hao manifested himself in this manner, ng Yao knew sothing must be wrong with herself.
Otherwise, given Li Hao’s usual style of action, he would never appear before her voluntarily.
"Before Taotie left, he left a mark on ."
"Through that mark, I can maintain a one-way connection with him..."
Pausing slightly, ng Yao continued speaking.
"But this one-way connection thod is definitely not Taotie’s doing."
"So I highly suspect whether the current Taotie is still the sa Taotie."
A knowing look appeared on Li Hao’s face, and he imdiately followed up with a question.
"Have you been in contact with him?"
Shaking her head decisively to indicate no, ng Yao was not the type to recklessly put herself in danger.
"No, before confirming Taotie’s identity and stance, there’s no way I would contact him again."
This was not just for her own protection, but also for Taotie’s own good.
Whether from the perspective of the fallen god or from the standpoint of the state, having no more contact with each other was the best choice for both parties.
"It’s good that there’s been no contact; leave the subsequent matters to !"
"For the next four years, I will be living in this city."
"I really like the atmosphere here and do not wish for any disorderly elents to disturb my current life..."
In ng Yao’s eyes, filled with a mix of surprise and disappointnt, Li Hao smiled.
She was pleasantly surprised that Li Hao was willing to help her, even if his reason was to protect the city where he would live for the next four years.
She was disappointed that Li Hao chose to attend university in this city rather than joining her in Capital Hua Mansion.
"So, where do you plan to start?"
Having quickly adjusted her mindset after experiencing many events, ng Yao now used a steady tone to ask.
"Well, of course, I’ll start with you!"
