Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1860 Daji's Side Story (Part Two)

Deng Chanyu's mother is naturally Xiao Wu's grandmother, and Deng Jiugong's wife. Even though the generational relationships within the Deng family are a bit messy, the generational relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter is still relatively clear.

Shortly after Deng Chanyu was born, her biological mother died of illness. This was not a big secret; even King Zhou and Ji Chang probably knew about it.

After Daji became the Emperor of Fengdu, she also checked the old documents. However, the witch clan mostly spent their days in the underworld in a drunken stupor. They would work in a drunken stupor and then suddenly get angry and start chopping at the air with a big axe. With such a mental state, the result was predictable.

The records of the underworld were in complete chaos. Up until Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the underworld, the Book of Life and Death was filled with large amounts of bad debts. This chaos was all-encompassing. Daji was a newcomer, and for her to investigate the previous records was meddling in other people's business. She always thought that her "mother-in-law" had already been reincarnated.

At this moment, Daji ignored Xiao Wu's constant calling of "Su San" and grabbed her daughter's arm: "Where is she? Take me there quickly."

Xiao Wu said smugly, "That's not a person, it looks like a ghost to me."

"Don't I know how to tell a human from a ghost? You child, are you trying to drive your mother to her death?!"

Daji pinched Xiao Wu's ear and gave the little girl a good scolding. Only then did the mother and daughter leave the tent and ride on the black clouds, flying southeast.

The possibility exists that the White Lotus Sect members would lure out their leader and then surround and kill him, but Daji was not afraid.

If you can win, then fight; if you can't, then call for help. Just shout, and a saint will descend from the sky in the next instant. There's really nothing to worry about.

Even if she were killed, Daji wouldn't be afraid. Lady Pingxin was a saint who controlled the six realms of reincarnation, so Daji could be resurrected on the spot without any formalities.

The "grandmother" that Xiao Wu mentioned was a ghostly figure that looked fairly solid.

The reason why the little cotton-padded jacket could make such a judgment is because, based on causal reasoning, the ghostly figure in front of her is indeed related to the Deng family and Deng Jiugong. However, it is hard to say whether it can be related to Deng Chanyu. Saints do not get involved in causality, and Xiao Wu cannot see the deeper things.

"Mom, is this my grandma?"

"Even Mother can't tell."

"How about we call Grandpa over?" Even Xiao Wu knew that his father was very busy and it was best not to disturb him. Deng Jiugong, who was always eating, drinking and having fun, didn't care.

Daji had eaten rice for decades longer than her daughter, so she gestured for her daughter to stand still and be on guard, while she stepped forward herself.

"I wonder what your name is?"

The ghostly figure's face was blurry, her expression unreadable, and her voice was deep and muffled: "Are you asking about the past life, this life, or the future?"

Daji had planned ahead; by being able to connect with Deng Chanyu, even if she was originally ordinary, she was now extraordinary.

"Who are you in this life, senior?"

"The Liu family of the Deng clan".

Daji quickly took out the Book of Life and Death and looked through it. Sure enough, with the appearance of Liu Shi, the name next to Deng Jiugong in the Book of Life and Death gradually became clear. It was indeed written as "Deng Liu Shi". The couple had a son, Deng Xiu. As for Deng Chanyu, the Book of Life and Death could not record the saint.

Daji followed the clue of "Deng Family Liu Clan" and looked back, only to find nothing but emptiness.

At this point, it's no longer appropriate to accuse the Wu Clan of dereliction of duty. This "Liu Shi" clearly has an unusual background, and no matter what the Wu Clan's work attitude is, they probably won't be able to record any trace of her existence.

"What was your past life, senior?"

The ghost didn't answer directly, but instead extended a hand to Daji. After a slight hesitation, Daji gave Xiao Wu behind her a reassuring gesture, then took the ghost's hand.

There was a sudden spin.

Daji was often teleported by Deng Chanyu, and she could handle both short and long distances with ease. But this time, the feeling was completely different. It was as if she had suddenly entered a forest from an extremely arid desert. The extremely rich spiritual energy around her made her heart pound and her Dao fruit was eager to be realized. If it weren't for her solid foundation, she would have been unable to resist proving herself as a Great Luo Golden Immortal right here.

She looked around and saw endless ghostly figures like Liu's. Strictly speaking, these were not ghosts, but shadows.

Many shadows gazed at Daji with curiosity and inquiry; these gazes were too complex to be simply categorized as goodwill or malice.

"Mother, what kind of 'people' are these?" Daji's flexible bottom line is a great skill she learned after "marrying a chicken, following the chicken; marrying a dog, following the dog." She can now call strangers "Dad" and "Mom" without any psychological barrier.

Liu was delighted to hear this title and pointed to the ghostly figures around him, saying, "They were all originally like me, thrown into the primordial world to guide those with destiny. Now they have all failed, only I have succeeded."

"Mother, are you referring to Ayu as the destined one?"

"No, the person I'm talking about who is destined to be with me is you."

Daji was utterly astonished. She couldn't believe that such a stroke of good fortune could fall into her lap, but since she was under someone else's roof, she didn't argue.

"Mother, where...where exactly is this place?"

Liu patiently explained, "This is a projection of the Chaos Green Lotus from the distant past. The Chaos Green Lotus foresaw its own demise and left this place long ago, hoping to find a destined person to guide its true spirit to awaken anew."

I knew this place was extraordinary, but I never imagined it had such a grand history.

Daji naturally knew about the Chaos Green Lotus, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt that she had nothing to do with this matter. She was too insignificant, and this matter was too big. Even if you gave me a task, I couldn't complete it.

"Mother, it's not that your daughter-in-law is refusing; wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask Ayu about this?"

“Ayu has already gone down a different path. This matter can only be left for your mother to ask you. If you encounter any problems, will Ayu help you?”

Daji said with certainty, "Of course."

Liu smiled and said, "So you are the one destined for us."

"Su San? Wake up, look how many fingers this is!" Xiao Wu gestured with two fingers, waving them in front of Daji's eyes.

Daji slapped her fingers away, "What are you waving around for? You're making me dizzy."

She organized the information she had obtained from the Liu family.

The Chaos Green Lotus foresaw its own demise long ago and prepared a backup plan in advance.

Hundreds of millions of beings, like Liu, have devoted themselves to the primordial world, their goal being the person beside the sage.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the Two Western Saints won't work; they are considered destined saints, and the Chaos Green Lotus can't directly connect with them. It has always been eyeing the saints after the Six Saints. It doesn't matter who this saint is or what their name is, as long as they become saints.

Daji is the only option at present. She can borrow power from the "Jade Saint" and bear all the consequences herself, without creating too much connection. This is Chaos Green Lotus's plan.
