Chapter 477 477: Celestial South Saint Master, Playing the Part to the End
Sure, here's the translation of the given text:
The person who arrived was the Celestial South Saint Master!
Previously.
He ventured deep into the Otherworld, holding back most of the power of the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao.
With his strength, facing a Heavenly Dao on the brink of extinction, he could easily eradicate it. However, he attempted to capture the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao to strengthen the Heavenly Dao of the real world.
Everything was operating according to his will.
Never expected.
In the end, the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao suddenly abandoned most of its power and bypassed him to forcibly descend for unknown reasons!
This led to its eventual demise.
Greatly surprised, the Celestial South Saint Master hurried over as quickly as possible.
This journey, to him, was nothing substantial, but as he approached, he witnessed an incredibly dazzling burst of light.
The Otherworld subsequently collapsed entirely, breaking away from the real world. The terrifying power of the world's collapse swept him back very far, yet he managed to forcibly tear through the Otherworld, crossing the Star Domain to return.
Upon his arrival here.
His first glimpse fell upon Su Qi.
To be precise, it was examining the Divine Corpse.
"Friend, it turns out I disturbed you, this was unexpected."
A simple statement.
In Su Qi's ears, it seemed to contain a lot of information.
The word 'friend.'
Not only did it indicate that the Saint Master had power akin to a god, but it also revealed that he was aware of the other's existence.
Su Qi could vaguely see that this Saint Master was not entirely ignorant of the god's existence like others were; he was even plainly aware of the other's slumber.
At that moment.
Su Qi felt immense pressure internally.
After all.
Standing before him was the pinnacle of human transcendence, the Supreme Saint Master who controlled the life and death of billions!
There's no denying the tension.
If by any chance, the other sees through anything, Su Qi wouldn't know which direction the situation might develop.
Furthermore, this Celestial South Saint Master gave him a feeling entirely different from those previous Heavenly Secret Level powerhouses.
Those Heavenly Secret Level powerhouses were certainly strong but their aura mostly felt a bit illusory and dreamy. This being, merely standing here, held the world, the real master of the realm!
It seemed as if, once angered, there'd be endless bloodshed.
For a brief moment, Su Qi felt that in the other's sight, he had no secrets, almost blurting out his parasitic state with the Divine Corpse.
However.
Su Qi was no stranger to grand events.
Having experienced everything from Otherworldly Heavenly Dao, God of Chaos, to god resurrection, he boasted formidable psychological resilience.
"No problem."
Su Qi's reply was equally succinct.
It wasn't a facade of wisdom; it was the fear of saying too much since he didn't know how much this Saint Master understood about the god.
Although.
Confessing to this Supreme Saint Master now, with his experience, might quickly aid in freeing himself from the Divine Corpse.
But.
What if, upon knowing this, the other observed calmly, instead holding Su Qi's hand with fervent dissuasion: "You truly are unaware of your fortune, countless transcendents yearned for immortality, and here you are casually gaining a god's power, yet wishing to discard it is sinful."
It's not just a possibility; it's highly probable.
Given that, this presence, who schemed against even the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao, wouldn't easily relinquish a controllable god.
By then, Su Qi might find himself utterly bound, needing to comply entirely with the other's plans.
Therefore, he quietly resolved to keep pretending and muddle through, seeking a way to separate from the Divine Corpse.
"Considering your revival might not be complete, how about taking this moment to visit our Heavenly South Holy City, which could minimize disturbances from ill-intentioned individuals…" The Celestial South Saint Master seized the opportunity to invite.
Hearing this.
Su Qi's heart skipped a beat.
Clearly.
Not only did the other know of the god's existence, but possibly also the secret of its revival!
Su Qi contemplated cautiously phrasing his words.
"There's no need for concern."
"Over the millennia, the world's changed beyond what I recognize, and only here do I sense a breath of my homeland."
"My time is limited, so I'd rather wander here, perhaps finding a trace of past feelings."
After saying this.
Su Qi closed his eyes.
A display of profound melancholy.
Implying, I wish to remain here quietly.
While also probing the Saint Master's attitude toward the god's resurrection.
Contrary to his expectations.
Upon speaking, the Celestial South Saint Master's eyes flashed regret, then nodded, refraining from forceful persuasion, settling instead: "If so, let everything be as you wish. I'll ensure arrangements here prevent excessive disturbances during your rest."
"Moreover…"
"Should you wish to wander during this time, I can accompany you."
Su Qi instinctively intended to refuse.
Though, as words formed, he realized it was highly inappropriate.
Not to mention, it wouldn't suit a currently revived god to reject communication with the most powerful being.
If by any chance, the other secretly monitored.
Su Qi wouldn't have much remedy as fighting might prove futile, perhaps even undetectable.
Better to temporarily comply, accompany the Celestial South Saint Master.
And seek a chance to send him away; given such a figure overseeing a Holy City wouldn't linger long.
Otherwise, many transcendents in the Heavenly South Holy City might suffer mysterious catastrophes due to the absence of the Supreme Saint Master's aura, exacerbating chaos.
The Holy City, superior to their Ninth District.
With larger population and transcendent numbers, far surpassing their own.
With this in mind.
Su Qi nodded: "Alright, let's take this opportunity to walk."
Then, he feigned inquiry: "Oh, what's the nearest human city? Let's visit it while we stroll."
The Celestial South Saint Master considered: "This area is mostly occupied by various Foreign Beasts, and the nearest Holy City is thousands of kilometers away… However, there are smaller cities here, some closely collaborating with our Heavenly South Holy City…"
"Fine, let's just wander randomly," Su Qi abruptly interjected.
Initially.
He intended to guide the other into mentioning the Ninth District, since Pei Jing had noted Heavenly South Holy City provided the most substantial support.
Su Qi would seize the chance to return to the Ninth District.
